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.

Keir Starmer’s government is facing strong criticism after agreeing to a deal that allows EU fishing vessels continued access to UK waters for 12 more years. Scottish fishermen and politicians have slammed the agreement as a betrayal, calling it a “horror show” that endangers local communities and the fishing industry. The Scottish Government and opposition parties accuse UK ministers of ignoring devolved consent and sacrificing fishermen’s interests for political gain. Critics warn the deal risks harming coastal economies and undermines post-Brexit sovereignty.

Britain and the EU have announced a sweeping reset in their post-Brexit relationship, covering trade, defence, and mobility. The deal allows UK participation in a €150B EU defence program, cuts red tape on food exports, simplifies travel, and opens joint military procurement to firms like BAE and Rolls-Royce. Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls the agreement a step toward stability and prosperity, projecting a £9B boost to the UK economy by 2040. While critics like Nigel Farage slam it as a betrayal, the reset signals a pivot to practical cooperation over political division.

Nigel Farage says Reform UK "very much enjoyed" Sir Keir Starmer's remarks on immigration and an 'island of migrants', which critics have likened to Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech in 1968. Reform's party leader urges the prime minister to declare the situation in the English Channel as a national security emergency. Starmer replies that the government's borders bill will allow law enforcement to take action "before crimes are committed", adding it is "extraordinary" that Farage "of all people, voted against it".
