Keir Starmer travelled to Edinburgh as part of his first tour of the four UK nations since taking on the role as the UK’s prime minister on Friday. Speaking after his meeting with Scotland’s first minister, John Swinney, at Bute House, Starmer said he aimed to “make good” on his campaign commitment to “reset” the relationship between the Scottish and UK governments. He will travel to Wales and Northern Ireland next. In Scotland, Starmer met with the Scottish Labour leader, Anas Sarwar, and celebrated the election of 37 Scottish Labour MPs. Labour is seeking an unprecedented joint declaration with the EU to usher in a wide-ranging security pact covering defence, energy, the climate crisis, pandemics and even illegal migration, the foreign secretary, David Lammy, said. As part of the new government’s plan to reset its relations with the EU and bring “an end to the Brexit era”, Lammy told the Guardian that a broadly defined security deal would not undermine Labour’s commitment to remain outside the EU’s single market and customs union. Conservatives have suggested that the former home secretary Suella Braverman is losing support as a potential party leader, as some who lost votes across southern England privately urged colleagues to resist a lurch to the right. A number of MPs now see Robert Jenrick, Priti Patel and Kemi Badenoch, all of whom have ruled out a deal with Reform leader Nigel Farage, as more viable candidates. In an interview with GB News, Braverman claimed Reform UK posed an “existential threat” to the Conservatives. She has declined to say whether or not she will be a Tory leadership candidate. New defence secretary John Healey announced a fresh British military aid package for Ukraine as he visited the southern port city of Odesa and met with his counterpart Rustem Umerov. Recognition of the state of Palestine as part of a Middle East peace process is an “undeniable right”, Starmer told Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in a phone call this morning. Ed Davey, the Lib Dem leader, said that he remained committed to proportional representation, even though PR would have given Reform UK more seats that the Lib Dems at this election. Jonathan Reynolds, the new business and trade secretary, ruled out Labour backing ID cards. Thank you for reading and all your comments today.
