The Prime Minister has surprised his cabinet and Whitehall with a speech calling for a closer relationship with the EU. It is a reversal of his previous stance and has divided his senior team as the government faces internal pressure over the nation's future relationship with the bloc.
The Prime Minister has also abandoned a plan to curb jury trials, a proposal he once shared with Keir Starmer. Meanwhile, the BBC has begun its transition to an online-only future. The strategy involves closing BBC Two, BBC Four, and Radio 4 Extra as the broadcaster moves away from traditional airwaves.
Kemi Badenoch has suggested cutting public sector jobs to fund childcare for high-earning families, describing her parallel plan to reduce inheritance tax as morally right. In the Nations League, England defeated Croatia 7-0 under Thomas Tuchel’s management.
