  • How risky is Rachel Reeves' winter fuel U-turn?

    How risky is Rachel Reeves' winter fuel U-turn?
    Jun 5 2025
    Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

    More details of Chancellor Rachel Reeves' spending squeeze next week are trickling out - including a U-turn on the winter fuel allowance which we now know is happening in the spending review.

    The political implications of the U-turn, rather than the broader spending review itself, threatens to dominate the political narrative for the next week and more. How much pressure will that pile on Sir Keir Starmer and his chancellor?

  • Has Trump betrayed Starmer steel deal?

    Has Trump betrayed Starmer steel deal?
    Jun 4 2025
    Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

    The UK steel industry – which was on the verge of collapse just weeks ago – will no longer face the heaviest of Donald Trump's tariffs, the US announced overnight.

    We're the only country spared the doubling of tariffs on steel imports to the US to 50% – ours instead capped at 25%.

    This sounds great – until you remember last month's UK-US agreement – when the PM negotiated President Trump’s 25% tariff down to zero – a deal that is yet to come into force.

    What's happened? And how big a win is this for Sir Keir Starmer and for Labour in any case? Is this ensuring the revival of British steel, or merely another stay of execution?

    Who's the public's favourite (and least favourite) cabinet member?
    Jun 3 2025
    Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

    Exclusive polling is announced by Sam and Anne, as they reveal cabinet popularity rating according to the public.

    Also, why is the Home Office is today releasing a weather report for weather that's already been and gone? They say warm weather impacts the number of small boat crossings.

    Is this the Labour government laying the turf, readying the British public for a balmy summer, and with that, days of record Channel crossings?
