Sir Keir Starmer has scrambled together a package of economic concessions as the Prime Minister looks to persuade Donald Trump to spare the UK from his imminent trade war. Trump is just hours away from introducing his so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs in a move which will leave markets reeling and consumers taking a significant hit.

Keir Starmer has been urged to channel Donald Trump in his negotiations over EU access to Britain's waters. Countries, including France, are said to want to tie a new post-Brexit security deal to more beneficial access to the UK's seas.
