Well, to start, their Electric Streets of Britain initiative aims to support local authorities in accelerating the UK's on-street charging infrastructure.

And it's exactly what you want to see from Vauxhall, which is, of course, a British brand, a proud partner of Team GB.

Vauxhall's also supporting the next generation of athletes on their journey to the 2028 Olympics.

Hi, it's Rory here.

To celebrate the release of my book, Middleland, in paperback, I'm doing two live shows on stage in London in September, and I'd love you to join me for the conversation.

Middleland is my portrait of rural Britain and politics.

It draws on a decade of living in Cumbria, being the Member of Parliament, writing about its resilience, its beauty, and what this corner of England can teach us about community.

purpose, and if you'll allow me to sound a bit grand, democratic renewal.

Every ticket to the show includes a copy of the book, and it should be a great opportunity.

I'll be in discussion with people, we'll have questions, I'm happy to engage with almost anything.

We can talk about global politics as well.

I'm playing the Dominion Theatre in London's West End on Sunday, the 13th of September, and the Richmond Theatre in Richmond on Tuesday, the 15th of September.

Welcome back to the Rest Is Politics Question Time with me, Rory Stewart.

And me, Alistair Campbell.

Now, first question for you from Akash.

How did you celebrate Trump's birthday last weekend, Alistair?

I mean, I won't show it to my kids.

I mean, I used to do a lot of martial arts.
