Your morning politics digest with Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy.
The countdown to Trump’s tariff ‘Liberation Day’ continues with the UK looking at its options ahead of announcing any trade deal.
Is abolishing Britain’s digital services tax still one of the most likely moves? That’d mean missing out on hundreds of millions from the likes of Meta and Amazon.
Elsewhere, with Rachel Reeves struggling to shake off the story about her Sabrina Carpenter tickets before the Spring statement, there’s another story to trouble the cabinet this morning.
There are reports that Angela Rayner wanted to tag a private safari tour onto an official trip. Does it all matter? Sam and Anne start the morning with a disagreement.
