In her first campaign speech since the London terror attack, the PM vowed to introduce a fairer immigration system once Britain leaves the EU. Mrs May said: “The British people made their choice and it would be a scandal to do anything other than respect their decision. “We will leave the European Union and take control of our money, take control of our borders, and take control of our laws.” In her first campaign speech since the London terror attack, the PM vowed to introduce a fairer immigration system once Britain leaves the EU.

In his biggest speech of the campaign, the top Tory will say it is the country’s “destiny” to be friends and partners with the whole of the rest of the world – pointing out that more than nine in ten of the world’s population live outside the EU. The Foreign Secretary will make his major pitch in traditional Labour territory in north east England – pleading them to lend their backing to the Tories so Britain can “get Brexit right”. And he will warn voters not to back Labour this time round – saying the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn being in charge of Brexit negotiations and striking new trade deals “makes me shudder”. Mr Johnson will also unveil more details of a new Board of Trade that will bring together politicians and businessmen from all corners of the UK to strike lucrative new trade deals. – The Sun Tories unleash ‘attack dog’ Boris Johnson on Jeremy Corbyn – Sky News …and the Conservatives announce the return of the Board of Trade Theresa May plans to set up a network of nine trade commissioners across the world to boost trade after Brexit. The Conservative Party said they would be part of a new Board of Trade to help exports and attract foreign investment. The UK’s first Board of Trade has its roots in the 17th Century and through several transformations became the Department of Trade and Industry. The Liberal Democrats said the prime minister’s plan was “outdated” and “probably written on parchment”. The Conservatives said the commissioners “will be based overseas in nine different regions, determined by markets rather than national borders, to ensure UK trade policy is guided by local experience and expertise”. The nine regions were not disclosed. The Board of Trade would bring together leading business figures and politicians to help lead trade delegations, boost exports and “make sure the benefits and prosperity of Brexit are spread equally across the country”. – BBC Conservatives pledge to resurrect ‘Board of Trade’ to build post-Brexit deals – Telegraph New trade push for UK exports after leaving EU – Express UK PM May plans global network of trade commissioners post-Brexit – Reuters May says Christmas would come early for Brussels if Corbyn wins Brussels would feel like Christmas had come early if Jeremy Corbyn wins Thursday’s election, Theresa May warned voters yesterday. The Prime Minister insisted her Labour rival was not equipped to negotiate Britain’s Brexit future. She said Mr Corbyn’s commitment to never leave the EU without a deal would leave him open to blackmail from Brussels. The remarks represent a new high in personal hostilities between the party leaders vying for No 10 as the campaign enters its final hours. Mr Corbyn has launched personal attacks on Mrs May for the first time in the campaign, insisting she bears responsibility for cutting police officers despite terrorism warnings. – Daily Mail Jeremy Corbyn not fit to negotiate good Brexit deal, says Theresa May – PA PM vows to `fight for Britain´ in Brexit negotiations – PA EU banks on ‘bloody difficult’ May for Brexit talks EU leaders hope Theresa May is re-elected on Thursday, ideally with a bigger majority, even though the British prime minister has said this would help her drive a harder bargain on Brexit. EU chief executive Jean-Claude Juncker will find her a “bloody difficult woman”, May has said. Yet a drop in her Conservatives’ lead caused concern in Brussels as they do not want her weakened nor do they want an anti-Brexit government. A collapse in talks is the main risk for the European Union in the 22 months until Britain ceases to be a member. That would leave businesses and 3 million EU citizens in Britain in legal limbo, disrupting the economy. It could also leave Brussels billions of euros out of pocket and could delay a trade deal. – Reuters Nick Clegg to accuse Theresa May of putting lives at risk with plans to weaken terror fight after Brexit Nick Clegg will accuse Theresa May of putting the safety of Britons at risk after Brexit, after she failed to explain how the police will retain access to EU anti-terror information. The former Liberal Democrat leader will condemn the Prime Minister for vowing to pull the UK out of the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) – whatever the cost… the Prime Minister vowed: “I am very clear that the European Court of Justice and its jurisdiction in the UK is going to be ended”. Delivering a major speech on the threats posed by Brexit, Mr Clegg will say: “How will Britain be kept safe after Brexit? – Independent Academic report suggests only Tory landslide will ensure ‘Hard’ Brexit In a bombshell intervention experts from Birmingham University said anything but a Conservative victory will see the referendum result being “diluted” in favour of single market membership. They predict that an unlikely coalition between the Tories and UKIP would deliver the “hardest” Brexit on offer, whilst a pact between Labour, the Lib Dems and the SNP would effectively deliver the status quo. The landmark report, compiled by the university’s Centre for Brexit Studies, was published this afternoon just three days before voters head to the ballot box for an election that will define Britain’s future. – Express Sturgeon flounders in Brexit interrogation Nicola Sturgeon struggled to back up her Brexit demands during an intense election grilling televised this evening. She was grilled during an ITV one interview this evening which focused heavily on her demands to be given a seat at the “Brexit negotiating table”. Interviewer Julie Etchingham repeatedly called her out on the impossibility of such a scenario as only the prime minister of the UK will be present. Ms Sturgeon said: “Theresa May is the one who has called an election, presuming to get the views of the Scottish people. “Is people vote SNP it strengthens my hand to get a place at the Brexit negotiating table.” – Express Spending growth falls but economy ‘regaining momentum’ Consumers are finally “feeling the squeeze” of inflation, as businesses and shoppers delay spending decisions before Thursday’s general election and the start of Brexit talks. Three new surveys suggest that spending growth is slowing on the high street and in the dominant services sector, dampening expectations of a strong rebound from a weak first quarter… It was not all gloomy news, however. PMI reports for the manufacturing and construction sectors beat expectations for May after delivering solid performances. – The Times (£) Brexit ‘to send more US film blockbusters to Britain’ Britain could be set to make more Hollywood blockbusters such as Star Wars, The Mummy and Wonder Woman and fewer European arthouse films because of Brexit, a leading industry figure predicts. US movie and TV companies are switching production from America, Canada and Australia to here because the falling pound has cut costs by up to 20 per cent while European productions risk stalling because of fears over loss of EU funding, changes to tax credits and introduction of visas. Adrian Wootton, chief executive of Film London and the British Film Commission, said it had been the “busiest ever” British Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival, which ended on Sunday. – Evening Standard Pro-Brexit Facebook groups: Conservative converts? Brexit has featured heavily throughout the Conservative campaign, but how are staunch online Brexiteers feeling about the general election? To answer this question, BBC Trending delved inside some of the most popular pro-Brexit Facebook groups and found that their members have a new idol: the Conservative Party – which many see as the only effective vehicle to bring about the kind of Brexit they want. Meanwhile, there’s bitter hostility towards Remainers, who they think are obstructing the referendum result. And, perhaps surprisingly, enthusiastic support for UKIP in this segment of voters seems to be ebbing away. As part of our effort to track the role of social media in the election, BBC Trending has been investigating the views of “filter bubbles” – tight-knit online communities that share common political beliefs. – BBC James Kirkup: Let’s be honest about the cost of immigration curbs Voters want lower immigration. That is taken as a given by many in politics. There is a also great deal of evidence to support that statement, from polls to actual election results. But how much do they want it? Can anti-immigration sentiment be changed, or is it a settled fact of life? Some politicians assume that public opinion on migration is hard and unchangeable. The consequences of that assumption are vast. We’ll leave the EU’s single market because Theresa May calculates that voters would never accept the migration policies that would come with continued membership. – James Kirkup for The Times (£) What happens to Brexit if Labour wins? An even more interesting question is: would a Labour victory re-open the door to a Brexit reversal? That situation could arise if the EU is not offering a soft Brexit deal. Pro-EU commentators in the UK tend to make the mistake that the choice of Brexit regime was purely national. Did they not hear hear Donald Tusk saying that the choice is between a hard Brexit or no Brexit? So what would Labour/SNP do when confronted with such a choice? Would they not be tempted to subject the EU’s offer of a super-hard Brexit two a referendum? And what if this referendum were to reject this offer? Would the UK parliament then not rescind the Article 50 process? We don’t think this course of events is likely, since Labour has not campaigned in favour of a second referendum. But we cannot completely exclude it, especially if the mood in the country were to change. So one of the consequences of a Labour victory would be a resurgence of the legitimate doubt about Brexit. – Euro Intelligence Brexit in brief Senior UKIP figure Peter Reeve urges people in North Norfolk to vote Liberal Democrat – Eastern Daily Press Northern Irish political leaders clash on terrorism and Brexit at UTV election debate – BBC Parties must heal rift with business for Brexit – James Ashton for the Evening Standard The global economy can recover faster if we avoid the obvious pitfalls – Nouriel Roubini for the Guardian Post-Brexit Britain will need to put money into theatre.
