First: Theresa May’s cabinet has set the Westminster summer recess as the deadline to pass the EU withdrawal agreement bill and agreed to continue their discussions with the Labour party in a bid to reach cross party support. With pressure growing on both the prime minister and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn from within their own ranks, Denis Staunton has the latest from London. Later: Australians go to the polls in federal elections this weekend, with the result too close to call as the opposition Labour party cling to a narrow lead over the ruling National-Liberal coalition in opinion polls.
