Kemi Badenoch says it is a "joke" to say that Sir Keir Starmer's partial U-turn on winter fuel payments is a reaction to the economy improving. The Conservative leader also says she would like to see a change that means pensioners who earn “£11,000 to £15,000 a year getting winter fuel payments”. Report by Blairm.

The UK has suspended free trade talks with Israel and summoned its ambassador amid growing outrage over military actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israeli ministers’ extremist rhetoric and the humanitarian crisis, with sanctions targeting settlers and linked groups. The EU has launched a formal review of ties. As Israel accuses the West of bias, PM Keir Starmer calls Gaza’s civilian toll “intolerable,” with critics demanding a full arms embargo and recognition of Palestine.
