Ed then picked up the thread: "Today will set out his plans to bolster Britain's coal manufacturer industry which is facing a 25% levy on vehicles sent to the United States. The prime minister will say we're in a new era of global instability," reports .

The duo were then joined by ITV's own Richard Gaisford reporting from Solihull live, where he provided additional insights. Situated where Land Rover and Jaguar have their roots, he explained: "These companies are really driving into a dark tunnel at the moment, not knowing when they are going to see light."

The presenter elaborated: "The prime minister is trying to offer a glimmer of hope for them, relaxing the rules on electric vehicle sales, the amount of cars they need to sell and the different variations of the rules on the type of engines they can include on these cars.

"He hopes that is going to give them something of a boost. But it is these big, major, global car companies that are taking the biggest hits at the moment."

Sir Keir Starmer has expressed his desire for British manufacturers to lead the charge in the electric vehicle "revolution", confirming new reforms amidst US President Donald Trump's tariffs. Sir Keir plans to reinstate the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars as part of his policy rollout.
