Harry McGee and Pat Leahy join Hugh to look back on the week in politics:

• The dire situation in Israel and Palestine continues to dominate Irish political discourse.
• UK home secretary Suella Braverman's controversial opinion piece may cost her her job.
• Sinn Féin's annual conference or Ard Fheis takes place this weekend.
• A new Irish political party was born this week - Harry McGee has the details.

And the panel pick their favourite Irish Times articles of the week:

• A brilliant piece about displacement of Bedouins in the West Bank by Hannah McCarthy
• Martin Wall's coverage of Donald Trump's legal woes contrasts with the former president's growing chances of winning a second term
• Should religion get out of the classroom? A debate in our pages set out both sides.
