Britain could rejoin Brussels' Net Zero climate scheme as part of Sir Keir Starmer's moves to 'reset' Brexit, diplomatic sources have said.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch on Saturday night said she was setting Sir Keir 'five tests to protect Brexit': No backsliding on free movement or compulsory asylum transfers; no new money paid to the EU; no reduction in our fishing rights; no rule taking, dynamic alignment or European Court jurisdiction and no compromise on the primacy of Nato as the cornerstone of European security.
