Could the plane stabbing affect Israel’s upcoming election?

What next for Manchester City after the Premier League club was found guilty of serious financial-rule breaches? And if the Crown Prosecution Service brings charges over the fatal 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, what could that mean for future corporate manslaughter cases? Could the stabbing on the Israel-bound flight affect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chances in the upcoming late October election?

Giles Whittell is joined by The Observer’s Stephen Armstrong, Chloe Hadjimatheou and Jonathan Lewis as they battle it out and pitch the top stories of the day.
