Keir Starmer's luck has certainly been changing in the last few weeks. His actions on the international stage has gained him support in the press, and there are tentative signs that his Trump strategy may be working. However, his domestic policies have still flown largely under the radar.

That is, until last weekend, when he took control of British Steel, in a move backed by all the major parties.

Rachel Reeves really hasn't had the best start as Chancellor. It seems that every single time she adjusts the UK's finances to ensure she meets her fiscal rules, something unexpected happens on the world stage, and she has to go back to the drawing board. With Trump imposing tariffs against the UK on 'liberation day' last week, it seems that Reeves' luck really hasn't improved.

To most of us, the King feels like a fundamentally ceremonial figure, wheeled out every so often to recite or poem or wield a sceptre. However, the return of arch-royalist Donald Trump has pushed the King into taking a slightly more political role, proffering state visits and even Commonwealth membership to appease a White House wants to either tariff or invade basically all of America’s longstanding allies.

Find out if we think he’s pulled it off by watching the latest episode of our podcast, World Leader Leaderboard.

The one thing you can't deny about Nigel Farage is that he's a savvy political operator. He's been at the forefront of British politics for at least a decade, and his influence has transformed both the Conservative party: anxious about being outflanked by one of Farage's various vehicles, the Tories have tacked to the right on a whole load of issues, including immigration, net zero and - most obviously - Brexit, with the net result being that Farage usually gets what he wants (albeit via the Tories).

However, in the past week or so a familiar problem has reared its head: namely, that Farage's MPs have started misbehaving, and a public spat has broken out between Farage and Reform MP Rupert Lowe. Find out whether we think Farage can recover on this week's episode of the World Leader Leaderboard.

Keir Starmer's had a tough start as PM. He's lagged in the polls, the economy isn't doing great, and his party has been beset by infighting. However, all of a sudden things are looking up for him: he's fronted the European response to Trump's pivot away from Ukraine and tried (with some success) to position the UK as a bridge between the US and the EU. But is this enough to make him the biggest winner of the week?
