Plus: Laws to proscribe the IRGC won’t be fast-tracked despite Iran conflict. My colleague @mattdathan.bsky.social reported in January that legislation would likely come this year, but even that appears to have slipped to “when parliamentary time allows”.

NEW: PM not backing down on welfare reforms despite growing rebellion - tells me on the plane to The Hague for NATO summit he will “press ahead” and said those who care about the welfare system need to ask themselves what is sustainable in the future. Full quotes 👇🏻

Back to work tomorrow after some time off for one of my favourite times of the year - running our Student Publication Association conference and awards for more than 200 incredibly talented student journalists from across the UK and Ireland. So proud to be a trustee for our amazing charity ✨

Good morning from sunny Berlin and the German Chancellery where Keir Starmer will meet Olaf Scholz this morning. And where I’ve spotted a German journalist (now my nemesis) wearing the exact same outfit as me. Clearly only one of us can survive.
