As Andy Burnham prepares to take over as prime minister, how would a more left wing government go down in Washington and in Wall Street? Katy has interviewed the US ambassador to London, who did not speak enthusiastically about Ed Miliband, and Gerry has been speaking to senior officials and financiers who were pretty scathing about Britain's prospects.
And in New York, candidates supported by the mayor, Zohran Mamdani have swept the board in Democratic primaries. We look at the power of the far-left and anti-Israel vote.
