Oliver Hides takes your calls on the job of prime minister, self-service tills and baby names

Has the job of prime minister become impossible? Do you like a self-service till? And have you named your baby after someone?

There has been a revolving door of Prime Ministers over the last decade. Since Theresa May in 2016, no Prime Minister has served longer than just over 3 years, with the shortest term being held by Liz Truss – 49 days. As we know, Sir Keir Starmer is battling to save his job after four ministers quit and dozens of Labour MPs urged him to resign, as of right now, he’s served just short of 2 years. So, has the job of PM become impossible?

A fish and chip shop owner says he is installing self-service tills to protect staff from customers with "abrupt" questions about price rises. Rhys McLoughlin, co-owner of Môr Ffres in Dinas Cross, Pembrokeshire, said he would install digital kiosks where customers can place and pay for their own orders, due to the pressure his staff came under about the cost of his food. Do you like a self service till? Or do you like to chat as you checkout?

Have you named your baby after someone? A baby born on Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday has been named after the legendary broadcaster and environmentalist. Ambrose Attenborough Whyte was born at 23:58 BST on 8 May weighing 7lb 5oz. Proud parents Stephen and Lauren from Powys said they wanted to honour the conservationist in their own way. Who are you named after?
