What does the Westminster reshuffle tell us about the future direction of Boris Johnson's agenda? We hear from two people formerly at the heart of their governments - Chris Wilkins, who was a director of strategy in Number 10 and chief speechwriter to Theresa May, alongside Matt Greenough who was a special advisor to the Welsh government. Meanwhile, for all the conveniences and ease of keeping in contact that social media brings - it has another bleaker side. Now it seems that new powers are to be given to the watchdog Ofcom to force social media firms to act over harmful content. We talk to Catherine Anderson, who is the CEO of the Jo Cox foundation, and Welsh Labour MP Kevin Brennan. In the wake of the Irish election, writer and broadcaster Fintan O'Toole gives his take on the future direction of travel in the republic. And historian Professor Richard Toye reflects on how tetchy relations between numbers 10 and 11 Downing St are nothing new.
