I’m not writing my usual blog today but here, as an alternative, is the Politics Live readers’ edition. It is a place for you to discuss today’s politics, and to share links to breaking news and to the most interesting stories and blogs on the web.

Feel free to express your views robustly, but please treat others with respect and don’t resort to abuse. Guardian comment pages are supposed to be a haven from the Twitter/social media rant-orama, not an extension of it.

You can read all today’s Guardian politics stories here.

And here are some of the main ones on our site this morning.

  • Leading European industrialists, including bosses from BP, Nestlé, E.ON and Royal Mail, have warned Theresa May that time is running out and said businesses want post-Brexit trade with the EU to be as frictionless as with a customs union.
  • MPs and rail passenger groups are demanding “emergency measures” from the Department for Transport to end the travel chaos on Govia Thameslink services in and out of London over the last 10 days.
  • Future inquests and inquiries should adopt the model of commemoration hearings pioneered by the Grenfell Tower inquiry, a leading charity has said.
  • Jeremy Corbyn holds “antisemitic views” which could drive Jewish people to leave Britain if he becomes prime minister, one of the UK’s most senior Jewish leaders has said.
  • House prices fell in May as a faltering economy, pressure on household budgets and the prospect of interest rate rises dogged the market.
