The Daily T: Starmer's Brexit betrayal
The Prime Minister has, in his words, struck a 'win-win' deal with the European Union which will begin a 'new era' in UK-EU relations, arguing that he's 'delivering what the British public voted for last year'.
The big problem is that, by allowing EU boats access to UK fishing waters until 2038 and agreeing to align with EU food standards, Starmer seems to be ignoring what the British public actually voted for back in 2016.
There's no doubt that this is another step moving the UK closer to the bloc – but are we now on a path back into the EU as many suspect Starmer would like?
Kamal and Tim are joined by the Telegraph's Europe editor James Crisp, fresh from the summit at Lancaster House, and by Boris Johnson's EU negotiator Lord David Frost.

Kremlin, responding to Trump's 'fighting children' comment, says Ukraine war is existential
MOSCOW, June 6 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that the war in Ukraine was an existential question for Russia, after U.S. President Donald Trump likened it to a playground fight. "Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy, they hate each other and they're fighting in a park," Trump said on Thursday. "Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart," he added. Asked about the comment, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "Here, of course, the U.S. president may have his own point of view on what is happening, but for us this is an existential question - this is a question of our national interests, this is a question of our security and the future of ourselves and our children, the future of our country." Peskov said Moscow was grateful to the U.S. for its mediation efforts, and it was important that contacts with Washington should continue.
