Tory MP says PM must go in long term but not during Ukraine
Conservative MP for Penrith and The Border Neil Hudson calls for the PM to show same "statesmanship" he has shown with Ukraine and "outline a timetable" for a leadership contest when the "international situation permits".
He says "lawmakers" breaking the law is "not tenable" but fears a removal of Boris Johnson would "destabilise" the British government and would only benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin during the invasion of Ukraine.

On Monday, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the contentious Rwanda deportation bill, marking a significant step toward its enactment into law. Despite months of opposition from various quarters including Parliament, courts, and civil society, the bill received approval. The primary point of contention had been the concern for the human rights of asylum seekers. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Conservative party have been vigorously advocating for this legislation. The bill aims to designate Rwanda as a safe third country, compelling judges to consider it as such. Additionally, it seeks to grant decision-makers handling asylum applications the authority to bypass certain provisions of international and domestic human rights laws. This move comes in response to a UK Supreme Court ruling that deems the deportation of migrants to Kigali as illegal.

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

democracy are winning the day, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.

and restocking the arsenal of democracy
doesn’t just happen by magic, Senate Majority Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, via statement

Royal biographer Hugo Vickers said the King's return to duties is a sign he is "on the way to recovery." Buckingham Palace confirmed today that His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.

Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf is battling for his political survival after a chaotic 24 hours which saw him end the SNP’s governing partnership with the Greens on Thursday. This was followed a couple of hours later by the Scottish Conservatives putting forward a motion of no confidence in the first minister. The motion was backed by Scottish Labour, the Scottish Lib Dems and, crucially, the Greens, who just 24 hours earlier were close cabinet colleagues. It leaves Mr Yousaf potentially having to rely on Alex Salmond’s Alba Party, and their one MSP Ash Regan, to survive a no-confidence vote. Report by Jonesia.
