Good morning and welcome to the Politics Hub this Tuesday, 10 June.
All eyes in Westminster are on the chancellor ahead of her spending review tomorrow, with confirmation yesterday afternoon that the final details have now been agreed.
But Rachel Reeves has another rabbit to pull out of the hat first.
She's set to confirm a 拢14.2bn commitment to fund the construction of the Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk, some 15 years after it was first proposed.
Reeves will make the announcement at the GMB union's conference later this morning, as the government welcomes in a "golden age" of nuclear power to boost the UK's energy security.
It says the funding for the plant will create 10,000 jobs including 1,500 apprenticeships. Building the plant will take an estimated nine to 12 years, but will provide around six million homes with energy.
We'll hear more from the Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, on this shortly.
Reeves isn't the only one seeking headlines this morning, though.
Sir Keir Starmer is making two energy-related visits near to where the plant will be. The PM will meet workers at a construction site this morning before speaking to pupils at a nearby school.
At the same time that Starmer's (presumably) donning high vis in Suffolk, Nigel Farage will be bathing in the spotlight in Westminster.
The Reform UK leader is set to unveil the party's new chairman, following the departure and partial return of Zia Yusuf at a press conference in Westminster.
And let's not forget, limelight-loving leader, Sir Ed Davey. He'll be playing interactive games in front of the cameras this afternoon to highlight the challenges faced by unpaid carers. The Lib Dem leader will also speak to the media to mark carer's week.
Coming up on Sky News this morning:
- Ed Miliband, the energy secretary;
- Andrew Griffith, the shadow business secretary;
- Ben Wallace, the former Tory defence secretary.
Stay with us throughout the day as we bring you all the latest updates right here on the Politics Hub.
