Wes Streeting has defended "unpopular" policies such as the cut to the winter fuel payment following Labour's poor performance in the local elections. "Voters have sent us a very strong message which we're taking on the chin. We know there have been some policies which have been unpopular whether it's national insurance or winter fuel among other things - that's how we're investing in the NHS," the health secretary added.

Sir Keir Starmer says he does not want to see industrial action over public sector pay, saying “I don’t think anybody wants to see strikes”. The prime minister is keen to talk about the different approach between his government and the last Conservative administration saying, “we’ve got our doctors and nurses on the frontline providing care, rather than on the picket line”.

When asked whether he views Vladimir Putin as a “good guy or bad guy,” Donald Trump offered a calculated response, refusing to label the Russian President. Trump stated that he knows Putin “very well” and called both Putin and Ukraine's Zelenskyy “very stubborn.” His comments come as Russia unleashes intense new strikes on Ukraine. Trump expressed disappointment over the escalation but stopped short of harshly condemning Putin, raising questions about his stance on the ongoing war. The ambiguity of his statement is already sparking heated political and public debate.

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern.
