PMQs Live – Did you consider hiring Carrie? Labour asks PM and Starmer grills Johnson on what he’s doing about strikes.

The PM will face Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer for this week’s Prime Minister’s Questions – the first questioning since the UK’s biggest strikes in 30 years started.

The Guardian says BRITAIN’S cost of living crisis is being made worse by Brexit dragging down the country’s growth potential and costing workers hundreds of pounds a year in lost pay, new research claims.

Sky News says THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER wants to introduce a Bill of Rights to ignore European Court of Human Rights judgments blocking removal flights to Rwanda.

The Independent says DOWNING STREET has confirmed that members of Boris Johnson’s team intervened following the publication of a story about his wife Carrie in The Times.

BBC News says BORIS JOHNSON is to call for a “sensible compromise” on pay to end the largest rail strike in 30 years.

Sky News says DOWNING STREET has confirmed it was in conversation with The Times around the time the newspaper dropped a report claiming Boris Johnson tried to appoint his now wife to a government role when he was foreign secretary.

The Guardian says Boris Johnson is engaging in “Putinesque” tactics by using the Northern Ireland protocol bill to cause a populist row with Brussels when the EU is willing to compromise, Peter Hain, a former Northern Ireland secretary, said on Sunday.

The Guardian says the biggest rail strikes in three decades are due to start on Monday night, with trains cancelled across Great Britain for much of the week.

The Independent says Britain’s major trade unions are collectively urging the government to “get round” the negotiating table to try to find a resolution, 24 hours ahead of the biggest strike action on the rail network for decades.
