Trump’s tariffs overshadow Reeves’ spring statement on Politics at Sam and Anne’s

👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne’s on your podcast app👈

Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy debrief on Rachel Reeves’ spring statement – with the added twist of Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on all imported cars.

The chancellor has planned to get her fiscal headroom back to £9.9bn with warnings that her buffer looks too small against global events – and, right on cue, the US president has upped his trade war.

So is the economy stuck in a «doom loop» or is there a narrative that things could still «go okay» for Labour?

Sam and Anne also discuss the re-emerging rumour that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is on the lookout for a senior economics adviser – and if the Labour rebellion gets bigger and louder with those harsher welfare cuts.

Every mobile phone in the UK will receive an emergency alert as the government tests the system nationwide. During this second test, approximately 87 million mobile devices will ring out unprompted. The test is scheduled to occur at 3pm on Sunday 7 September. Phones will vibrate and emit a loud siren sound for roughly 10 seconds, even if they are set to silent. A message will appear on phone screens stating that it is only a test and no action needs to be taken. The test message is expected to say: «This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby. In a real emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe. Visit gov.uk/alerts for more information. This is a test. You do not need to take any action.» The government is conducting this test to ensure the system is functioning optimally and to familiarize the public with the alerts. Since the first national test in April 2023, the system has been used for real emergencies, including warnings about adverse weather events and the movement of unexploded bombs. Critics have raised concerns about the potential risks of these alerts, including distractions for drivers and the safety of domestic violence victims who may possess secret phones. Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Pat McFadden, emphasized the importance of this test as a crucial communication tool between the government and the public. All mobile phones will now be equipped to receive emergency alerts, including important information on when the alert will be sent and the content of the message. This feature will ensure that all individuals are promptly informed of any urgent situations and can take necessary actions to stay safe.
