🎯 Plot

A suspect already held over the murder of Ann Widdecombe now faces charges for a planned terror attack against Nigel Farage. In a separate case, prosecutors have charged Iranian nationals with an alleged plot against the Jewish community. A poll suggesting half of voters want to rejoin the EU could potentially boost Labour's prospects, though some party figures remain hesitant. Meanwhile, the Conservative party is facing internal disagreement over the Triple Lock pension policy; Kemi Badenoch wants to keep it, while some senior Tories want it gone. The United Arab Emirates is reportedly threatening to pull billions in investment over a legal ruling against Manchester City. This comes as analysts warn of a new energy crisis, with the blame being laid, as many things are, at the feet of Donald Trump.
