A Russian state media propagandist threatened King Charles with a "ceremonial" nuclear bomb, urging him to pack his 72-hour emergency suitcase. The threat comes after the propagandist appeared on state TV alongside Kremlin's top TV Vladimir Solovyov, who taunted Sir Keir Starmer and the French people to lead their troops into Ukraine.

Labour MPs showed solidarity with colleagues Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, who were refused entry to Israel after being detained and deported. The pair claimed they were part of a parliamentary delegation visiting West Bank charity projects, but Israeli officials said they were rejected due to plans to document security forces' activities and spread anti-Israel hatred. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israel's actions as "counterproductive" and "deeply concerning", while Tory leader Kemi Badenoch supported Israel's right to control its borders, stating she was not surprised by the denial of entry.

Keir Starmer vowed that the UK will "shape history" as he promised to support British industries struggling due to Donald Trump’s tariffs. At a Jaguar Land Rover plant in the West Midlands, Starmer relaxed rules on buying hybrid cars by delaying a ban for five years and pledged to reduce "stifling bureaucracy" across other industries. He assured the audience that the government will back them "to the hilt", stating that these are challenging times but he is committed to supporting them.

Prime Minister Starmer will relax green rules to boost the UK car industry, exempting work vans and supercars from the 2030 ban on new petrol vehicles due to the fallout from Donald Trump’s tariff war. Luxury vehicle manufacturers like Aston Martin, Bentley, and McLaren will be allowed to continue selling petrol-only models beyond the cut-off year. Additionally, the ban on petrol and diesel vans has been delayed until 2035, and swingeing fines on manufacturers have been reduced and postponed.
