George Parker of the Financial Times looks back on the political week as a triumphant Boris Johnson returns to Westminster with a big Commons majority after the general election. We discuss the prime minister's philosophy and 'one nation Conservatism' with the former deputy prime minister, Michael Heseltine. The former Labour prime minister Tony Blair sets out his view on the challenge facing his party after its defeat. And we explore the role and influence of Boris Johnson's chief adviser, Dominic Cummings.
