Donald Trump unloads another scathing attack on Keir Starmer – throwing out threats and casting doubt on the special relationship once again – raising fresh questions about what could happen next.

All very awkward as the Chancellor touches down in Washington for a key IMF meeting and a state visit from King Charles looms.

Away from Trump-Starmer division – Sam and Anne unpack the reaction to yesterday’s exclusive revelation on the podcast that defence chiefs are trying to find more cuts to the defence budget. Is Rachel Reeves under more pressure to find cash for them?

Plus, Sam has a scoop on the energy price cap and a scheme which could help businesses.
