MPs to debate emergency legislation to keep British Steel open as 'security is on the line'

Beijing warns Britain against "politicising" an unfolding spat over the future of Chinese-owned British Steel after legislation was approved to prevent the shutdown of the last British factory that can make steel from scratch.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following France’s bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an “inalienable right.” However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UK’s real intent.
In the backdrop of the catastrophic Gaza crisis, where over 38,000 have died and thousands more are displaced, Starmer pledged humanitarian aid, child evacuations, and renewed diplomatic efforts. Yet critics argue that his words fall short without clear policy moves. As Macron gains global support for France’s recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act — or delay. The Gaza war’s horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action. Is the UK’s recognition promise just lip service?
