Rachel
Reeves has said the UK’s trading relationship with the EU is “arguably even
more important” than that with the US, as she prepared to lobby her American
counterpart, Scott Bessent, over tariffs.
Downing
Street has said it wants to move on from “the debates and arguments of the
past” at a briefing where a spokesperson accepted the UK is talking to the EU
about a youth mobility scheme. In the past the government said it had “no
plans” to agree such a scheme with the EU, fearful of claims that Brexiters
would view it as a return to free movement. (See 3.13pm.)
Robert
Jenrick has claimed that he is not in favour of a pact with Reform UK – just
two days after a recording was released of him telling a private dinner that,
if Reform were still doing well at the time of the next election, he thought
some sort of “coalition” between Reform and the Conservative party would be
needed.
YouGov
has published a poll suggesting Reform UK is on course to win the mayoral
elections in Greater Lincolnshire and in Hull and East Yorkshire relatively
easily. Its poll also suggests the Green party is narrowly ahead in the contest
for West of England mayor. (See 12.41pm.)
Cyclists
who kill pedestrians by dangerous cycling could face life imprisonment in
England and Wales under new amendments to the crime and policing bill.
