    Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

    They start by picking over what Keir Starmer had to say about the potential for an American attack on Iran – which sounded rather different from the line his German counterpart was taking. So what was going on there then?

    Back in Westminster, the details of benefit cuts which will impact millions get published – the government needs to convince dozens of Labour MPs to back the plan.

    And HS2 slows down – we’ll hear today that the new line will be delayed beyond 2033.

  • G7 - Trump walks out, Starmer holds his breath

    G7 - Trump walks out, Starmer holds his breath
    Jun 17 2025
    Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

    President Donald Trump's made a hasty exit from the G7 conference in Canada leaving questions about collective diplomacy and his promise to bring peace to an increasingly violent Middle East.

    The White House insists his return is to deal with "important matters", while Mr Trump himself has hinted his swift exit is for something “big”.

    How will Keir Starmer and allies navigate talks following the US president's departure? Progress has been made on car tariffs and aerospace, but where does this leave the rest of the US-UK trade deal?
