Starmer and Merz are announcing a deal on defence and migration. The pair are at the Airbus plant in Hertfordshire. The key points:

• A German promise on E-gates for Brits. Pointless once the new entry exit system comes in…
• Intention to set up a direct rail link between the two countries.
• Germans will prosecute people smugglers who procure small boats.
• “Deep exchanges” promised on security issues.
• Support for youth mobility schemes.
• Climate change – commitment to keep global warming below 1.5C above pre-industrial revolution levels.
