Ministers are preparing contingency plans to ensure food supply amid farmer protests over inheritance tax. Tens of thousands of farmers are expected to rally against Labour's tax policies, expressing feelings of betrayal. Farming leaders have distanced themselves from actions that could lead to food shortages.
Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit to address strained relations, despite past party comments on human rights abuses in China. Starmer aims for honest discussions on disagreements while prioritizing the UK's national interests.

The Telegraph: Trump tariffs would ‘deal £20bn blow to UK economy’ - latest updates
Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on imports, particularly a 60% levy on Chinese goods, could significantly impact the UK economy, potentially reducing GDP by 0.9%, equating to a £20 billion loss by the end of his term. Economists suggest that a free-trade deal with the US could mitigate these effects.
To counteract the challenges posed by rising US protectionism, experts recommend that the UK enhance its position in green technology and adopt a proactive growth strategy. They emphasize the need for the UK to adapt and seize potential opportunities amid the economic shifts expected under a Trump administration.
