A landmark deal has been finalised with the European Union after a last minute breakthrough in Sir Keir Starmer's reset talks. The breakthrough came on Monday morning - hours before a major summit in London - after talks had gone “down to the wire” on Sunday.

The agreement is not a massive sellout. Neither is it, in sum, a massive deal. It is, though — like the UK’s recent trade pacts with India and the US — a worthwhile step.

It's the third parliamentary election in as many years, and people are bracing for more uncertainty as the vote is unlikely to deliver a stable government.
