Boris Johnson news - live: Brexit bill one step away from being finalised after completing passage through parliament
Tory MPs have voted down a House of Lords amendment to Boris Johnson’s Brexit legislation, which would have guaranteed family reunion rights for unaccompanied child refugees after EU withdrawal.
It comes as Mr Johnson is warned the EU is preparing a trade deal offer on tougher terms than those given to Canada and Japan. Washington has also threatened to hike taxes on British car companies if the PM presses ahead with plans for a levy on US tech giants.
Elsewhere, Labour leadership contender Lisa Nandy has won a place on the ballot, attacked New Labour for allowing Thatcherism to flourish – and rejected party chairman Ian Lavery’s demand that frontrunner Keir Starmer stand aside for a female leader.
