Boris Johnson once outed MI6 spy 'for a laugh'

"[A foreign secretary] is forever poised between the cliche and the indiscretion." - Harold MacMillan

The appointment of Boris Johnson as foreign secretary raised more than a few eyebrows both at home and abroad but it also caused nervousness in the very department he is in charge of. Our first piece today reveals that there could be a very good reason for that. The former London mayor was once accused of putting lives at risk after he outed an MI6 spy 'for a laugh'.

As Labour's troubles rumble on, leadership candidates took part in their first hustings yesterday. Both Angela Eagle and Owen Smith claimed to be the candidate to bring the party back together but our next piece reports that there was little sign of unity among their supporters, with one person describing Smith as "a Welsh Captain Mainwaring".

And, there was much debate during the EU referendum campaign over how much money could be spent on the NHS if we were to leave Europe. But in the latest from our series on the effect of Brexit, we hear why all possible scenarios will leave our health service facing an even tougher future.
