Julian Harris: Starmer Faces Business Chiefs as Tax Rise Bites
The British Chambers of Commerce told us a few weeks ago that a 'senior cabinet minister' would be addressing its annual conference, leading me to assume this was code for Rachel Reeves.
Instead, it was the Prime Minister himself who rocked up at the QEII Centre in Westminster this morning to face a crowd of not-entirely-impressed business leaders. Reeves, meanwhile, made sure she was 130 miles away in Tutbury, which Google Maps tells me is a place in Staffordshire.

Keir Starmer is in a hot mess - and I've never seen anything like it
Less than a year ago in Downing Street, the bunting was out, and Keir Starmer was walking into No 10 to a chorus of cheers after winning a landslide victory. Now there's such a rebellion from his own MPs, he's being forced to climb down on his welfare reforms. PM set to make serious concessions - politics latest For a prime minister to face such a challenge so early in his premiership, with such a big majority, is simply unprecedented. It is a humiliating blow to his authority from a parliamentary party that has felt ignored by Downing Street. How has this happened? The PM's entire focus for the past 12 days has been on international diplomacy. He's gone from the G7 in Canada, trying to deal with Trump, trade deals, de-escalation; then Israel-Iran, he was at Chequers trying to deal with that crisis; and then he was straight to NATO. You could forgive him for being pretty angry that those who should have been managing the shop back home have ended up in such an enormous blow-up with MPs. A PM needs to be able to trust his team when he's dealing with international crisis. As I understand it, a month ago up to 140 MPs signed a private letter to the whips warning they would not accept the welfare reforms. The whips told No 10 - and No 10 it seems stuck their fingers in their ears and didn't pay attention to it. But this is really draining on the PM's authority. Ultimately, he carries the can. What happens next? As I understand it, he's now looking at serious concessions in order to get his welfare bill passed on Tuesday. No 10 are considering whether they drop the PIP changes for existing claimants, and the health element of universal credit for existing claimants too. Speaking to me on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Labour peer and ex-minister Harriet Harman said she expects concessions to be enough to appease enough of the rebels. It will leave the chancellor needing to look somewhere else to make billions of pounds of savings. Read more: It's a hot mess, and it was avoidable. It has left very bad blood between the parliamentary party and No 10 and No 11. There's a lot of ire directed at Rachel Reeves at the moment too. For a PM to be facing such an overt challenge to his authority with a working majority of 165, less than a year into his leadership, having to U-turn because he's facing defeat? I've never seen anything like it.

University welcomes Glass Centre closure questions
Sunderland University has said it welcomes questions from the local authority over the decision to close the National Glass Centre. The chief executive of the council is expected to write to the university and demand more information about the centre's repair costs and finances after a motion was passed on Wednesday evening. Save the National Glass Centre campaigners said they were "surprised and delighted" to see cross-party support for the move, and called for the building to be taken into public ownership. A spokesperson for the university said it had been "completely transparent in its decision making" about the closure. The National Glass Centre is set to shut in July 2026. The university had said damage to the building would cost between £14m and £45m to repair - and "no individual or organisation" had offered financial support towards the refurbishment. But the motion, put forward by Conservative councillor Michael Hartnack, questioned the accuracy of the estimated repair bill. It also demanded information about the site's ownership and finances. A university spokesperson said consultation reports about the repair costs had been available to the public on their website for the past two years. "We welcome the questions from the chief executive of Sunderland Council and will continue to be open and transparent in our answers," they added. A spokesperson for the campaign group to save the centre said the latest development was "a powerful and encouraging step forward". They said: "For years, we have been calling for local leadership to stand up for the National Glass Centre, and we're genuinely heartened that councillors have united to take action. "We also renew our call for the University of Sunderland to be more transparent about the circumstances leading to the closure." A university spokesperson said it had accepted an invitation to appear at the council's Economic and Prosperity Committee in January over the closure, but was asked to provide a written statement instead due to the number of items on the agenda. "This was supplied as requested," they said. The upcoming letter is also expected to ask questions about Glassworks, the new facility set to replace the centre. It would be based in the former Peter Smith antiques warehouse in Sunniside and be run by arts organisation Sunderland Culture. However, the motion said the new scheme "fails to address the loss of expertise" caused by the closure of the national centre and was only "partially costed". The £7.5m facility has secured £5m from the government's Cultural Development Fund, with efforts under way to raise the remaining £2.5m. A spokesperson for Sunderland Culture previously said its fundraising target reflected the costs "for making the building fit for purpose as a glass-making space".
