Keir Starmer was facing growing pressure to step down as Britain’s prime minister after dozens of members of Parliament, including Cabinet allies, joined the calls for him to set out a timetable for his departure. The pound extended losses and Gilts came under further pressure, with the yield on 10-year notes jumping beyond 5.10%. The yield on 30-year debt hit its highest level since 1998. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Tom Mackenzie.
