Has Trump betrayed Starmer steel deal?
👉Listen to Politics At Sam And Anne's on your podcast app👈 Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics. The UK steel industry - which was on the verge of collapse just weeks ago - will no longer face the heaviest of Donald Trump's tariffs, the US announced overnight. We're the only country spared the doubling of tariffs on steel imports to the US to 50% - ours instead capped at 25%. This sounds great - until you remember last month's UK-US agreement - when the PM negotiated President Trump's 25% tariff down to zero - a deal that is yet to come into force. What's happened? And how big a win is this for Sir Keir Starmer and for Labour in any case? Is this ensuring the revival of British steel, or merely another stay of execution?

Exclusive polling is announced by Sam and Anne, as they reveal the cabinet's popularity rating according to the public. Also, why is the Home Office today releasing a weather report for weather that's already been and gone? They say warm weather impacts the number of small boat crossings. Is this the Labour government laying the turf, readying the British public for a balmy summer, and with that, days of record Channel crossings?

Nigel Farage's migration mystery
👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne's on your podcast app👈 Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy preview how the day will play out in British politics. After Labour's migration plans were announced yesterday, Sam and Anne discuss Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's rhetoric and its populist overtones. But how authentic is it? Also, the Tories launched their deportation bill in parliament yesterday. What's in it, and is it all a bit of a stunt? And Sam reflects on his interview with Nigel Farage, where he pressed the Reform leader on a loophole in the party's manifesto, which could allow an unknown number of people to come into the country.
