Two of Westminster’s best-connected journalists, Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Jack Blanchard, guide you through their top predictions for the next seven days in British politics.

As fierce fighting continues in the Kharkiv region in Ukraine with Russia claiming it has control of more villages and Israel saying it will proceed with an assault on Rafah, Jack and Sam discuss how foreign affairs may take priority this week.

How should MPs hold each other to account? It’s a question that’s plagued the Commons for years -and this week, MPs will be asked to debate and vote on proposals for how to deal with MPs accused – but not convicted – of serious offences. But will it cause more party problems than it’s worth?

And – there’s a rare appearance from Sue Gray in Northern Ireland, as part of the COVID inquiry, plus why football could prove to be a new dividing line within the Conservative Party.
