I’m not writing my usual blog this week 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.
- Foreign governments such as Russia and China may have been involved in the collapse of a voter registration website in the run-up to the EU referendum, a committee of MPs has claimed.
- Jeremy Corbyn has said a Labour government would “declare war” on corporations that fail to pay suppliers on time, although the companies he singled out, such as M&S, have said they do not recognise his data.
- The information watchdog has been asked to investigate the alleged use of robocalls by Len McCluskey’s campaign team in the increasingly fractious contest to head the union Unite.
- The prospect of retiring to the sunny hills of Provence or the playas of Spain is less attractive since the EU referendum, with older voters concerned their healthcare would no longer be covered post-Brexit, a survey has found.
- Theresa May is on a five-day walking holiday in Snowdonia but is “making calls and being constantly updated” on the meeting of G7 foreign ministers and events in Russia and Syria, her spokesman has said.
