Controversial welfare bill passes final Commons stage - but only after another concession
Wednesday, 9 July 2025 Sir Keir Starmer's watered down welfare bill has passed its final stage in the Commons, after another concession was made to MPs.
In conversation with OneIndia’s Nagen Singh, Burzine Waghmar, SOAS South Asia Institute, London reveals how UK PM Keir Starmer trained Volodymyr Zelensky before his meeting with Donald Trump in order to avoid a repeat of the February meeting at the White House. Waghmar calls Trump a ‘Capricious, Petty Minded and Thick Skinned’ Politician and says that Starmer delivered a ‘masterclass’ in how to deal with Trump. He even added that Trump ‘has no ideology’ and that is why he hosted Pakistani Field Marshall Asim Munir at the White House.

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown.
