"Boris was trying to distance himself from Trump," one UK government adviser told The Sunday Times.Fears among UK voters about the impact of a US trade deal on food standards in Britain have reportedly forced Johnson's government to put the brakes on what had once been promoted as a rapid agreement. Getty It comes amid plans for a wide-ranging shake-up of Whitehall, driven by the ambitions of Boris Johnson’s top aide Dominic Cummings to streamline the civil service machine.Liberal Democrat acting leader Ed Davey said the prime minister appeared to be indulging his adviser’s wish to “politicise” the civil service.Labour said it was “concerning” that the preoccupation of the prime minister and his senior aide was “reshuffling Whitehall” at a time when jobs are under threat as the UK comes out of lockdown.The head of the FDA union for top civil servants Dave Penman said the government would “emerge weaker” from the loss of “one of the outstanding public servants of his generation”, and suggested “corrosive” briefings against Sedwill might make potential successors think twice about applying for the job.Boris Johnson’s best route to re-election could be to focus political debate on cultural issues in a “war on woke”, new research has suggested.Analysis of social and economic values found a deep disconnect between Tory MPs and the electorate on the economy – but a closer alignment on issues like traditional values, law and order and tougher sentencing.Conservative MPs’ views on business and the economy were way to the right, not only of the average voter but also of Tory supporters and members, the Ipsos Mori survey for the UK in a Changing Europe (UKCE) think tank found.On social issues, the survey found the position is reversed, with Labour MPs considerably more liberal than their own voters.Boris Johnson has warned the UK economy faces “bumpy times” ahead as he set out his desire for a “Rooseveltian approach” to rebuilding after the pandemic.In a rare broadcast interview, the PM said the coronavirus crisis had been “a disaster” for the UK and an economic effort similar to US president Franklin D Roosevelt’s “New Deal” was needed to lift the UK out of the doldrums.Johnson said it would be wrong to return to “what people called austerity” and made it clear that he wants to boost infrastructure spending to avert a devastating hit to the economy.Johnson said he worries about coronavirus deaths and infection rates every day.When asked if he was still worried that total deaths and the infection rate remained too high, he added: “Every day I worry. The row, however, has helped to reduce the UK government's appetite to strike a new trade deal with Trump.On her recent trip to Washington, UK International Trade Secretary Liz Truss was told to downplay the prospects of a deal. It comes as the mayor of Boris Johnson will attempt to kick-start the economy after Covid-19 with a decade-long schools rebuilding plan.The PM is expected to announce a spending blitz during a speech on Tuesday as he lays the groundwork for the UK to spend its way out of the coronavirus downturn by undertaking a vast building programme.Part of the plans will include a 10-year undertaking to improve school facilities, along with sprucing up classrooms currently in use.A £1bn cash injection will see construction work start on the first 50 projects as soon as September 2021, Downing Street said.Another £560m will go towards school repairs in this financial year while further education colleges will see £200m of the £1.5bn promised by chancellor Rishi Sunak at the Spring Budget to transform college estates over the next five years fast tracked so work can be brought forward.“As we bounce back from the pandemic, it’s important we lay the foundations for a country where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, with our younger generations front and centre of this mission.”As Boris Johnson attempts to relaunch his premiership with promises to invest in infrastructure to get Britain out of the coronavirus slump, Labour leader Keir Starmer has issued a warning that the record of Conservative-led governments over a decade has been “talk, talk, talk rather than build, build, build”.In a bid to move the political focus on from the Covid crisis to the recovery, Johnson is set on Tuesday to announce the creation of a “Project Speed” taskforce to accelerate tens of billions of pounds-worth of investment in railways, roads, hospitals and homes over the next decade.He is also announcing a 10-year schools rebuilding programme, with more than £1bn allocated for the first 50 projects.Starmer pointed out that many government programmes had failed to deliver the promised investment, such as a £2.3bn Starter Homes Initiative announced in 2015 which produced no new properties.The Labour leader urged Johnson to commit to a “route to recovery that works for the whole of Britain”, pointing out that government investment per person in areas like Yorkshire, the East Midlands and the South West is less than half that seen in London.The cabinet secretary and national security adviser Sir Mark Sedwill announced he will stand down in September.
