    Government of self-service?

    Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard share their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.    Just days before Labour meets for their party conference, they’re dealing with criticism over chief of staff Sue Gray’s salary, which is more than the PM's, and Sir Keir Starmer’s gifts. He’s received more freebies than any other MP since December 2019.    And Foreign Secretary David Lammy is meeting his US counterpart Antony Blinken in Paris, following Tuesday’s pager explosions across Lebanon. The visit is aimed at salvaging stalled negotiations to end the Gaza conflict between Israel and Hamas.   Send a WhatsApp to Jack and Sam on 07511 867 633 or email them: jackandsam@sky.uk        You can find and search the Westminster Accounts here: https://news.sky.com/westminsteraccounts
