Keir Starmer has a lot to deal with as he returns from his Easter break — and it’s far from a gentle landing. After taking a short holiday to recharge, the PM comes back to a wave of urgent issues both at home and abroad.

Ministers had to step in after Chinese owners Jingye failed to get the materials needed to keep operations running. Although the immediate crisis was averted, the long-term future of the plant is still uncertain, and full nationalisation is now on the cards, reported the Mirror.
