Sir Keir Starmer is preparing to leave Downing Street this week. In his final Prime Minister's Questions yesterday, he said it's the 'end of my political journey' and I'm proud of everything I have achieved". He is due to step down on Monday, with former Mayor of Greater Andy Burnham set to move into Number 10. How will you remember him? A new report shows that Wales has the highest summer childcare costs in Great Britain, at £224 per week – that’s more than £1,300 for the six-week summer break. The cost has gone up 10% over the past year. We’re asking how do parents manage in the summer holidays? And finally, a BBC podcast is exploring the rise of people eating out alone. With more single person households than ever before, more of us are heading out for a solo meal. So how do you feel about eating out alone? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12.
