No-deal scenario directly threatens future in the UK, says Airbus COO Tom Williams. Airbus has confirmed it is considering cutting thousands of jobs in the UK as it starts to “press the button on crisis actions” over concerns about Brexit.
The company said it could ditch plans to build aircraft wings in British factories over concerns that EU regulations will no longer apply from March 2019 and uncertainty over customs procedures, instead opting to transfer production to North America, China or elsewhere in the EU. Read more HERE.
Jeremy Hunt has conceded that having a Brexit dividend to partly finance an increase in NHS spending will depend on the economy outstripping forecasts, as he pledged the £20bn in extra annual funding would be provided even if this did not happen.
The health secretary, speaking before a speech on Monday in which Theresa May will further explain the five-year commitment, said the details of how it would be paid for would have to wait until the budget in the autumn. Read more HERE.
Donald’s Trump’s chief economic adviser said the US pulled out of a G7 communique because the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, “stabbed us in the back” and accused the leader of one America’s most important allies of playing a “sophomoric political stunt for domestic consumption”. In an extraordinary interview with CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Larry Kudlow, who was present for negotiations at the G7 summit in Quebec over the weekend, said Trudeau had instigated “a betrayal” and was “essentially double-crossing President Trump”.

Senior officials in Japan will be required to attend sexual harassment awareness sessions or risk damaging their career prospects under a proposal being considered by the government. Japanese media said on Thursday the cabinet was preparing to approve the training programme as early as next week, in response to several high-profile sexual harassment cases, including one involving a senior bureaucrat at the finance ministry.
Junichi Fukuda resigned as vice finance minister in April after he was accused of making sexually inappropriate remarks to a female TV reporter. Read more HERE.
Theresa May has decided to give the beleaguered NHS a “significant increase” in its budget to coincide with the service’s 70th birthday in July, the health secretary Jeremy Hunt has revealed.
The prime minister intends to ramp up spending in order to show that the Conservatives can be trusted to run the NHS and because it needs extra cash to tackle chronic understaffing, cope with the ageing population and improve care, Hunt said. Read more HERE.
