Sir Keir Starmer, Labour leader since April 2020, has been accused by the Conservatives of breaking over 100 promises during his tenure. The party published a dossier detailing his U-turns, claiming he had betrayed various groups, including working people, pensioners, farmers, and students. Conservative chairman Nigel Huddleston stated that Starmer's leadership has seen "more flip flops than a Brazilian beach" and that voters cannot trust him due to his constant changes in stance.

Since Labour came to power, over 30,000 small boat migrants have reached Britain, with an average of 29,884 arrivals up to Thursday and scores more arriving on Friday. The number of crossings has increased by 28% compared to a similar period when the Tories were in power. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government has overseen this surge, which is attributed partly to his scrapping of the Conservative's Rwanda asylum scheme.

A victim support organization has warned that making the Netflix series "Showing Adolescence" available in schools could be "catastrophic", potentially encouraging children to seek out violent content online and become radicalized. The show depicts the story of a 13-year-old who kills his classmate after becoming involved with the "incel" culture, and its creators met with Prime Minister Keir Starmer before he backed making it available in schools.

Keir Starmer met with the creators of a new online platform that aims to make adolescence "free" for schools. The platform, which remains unnamed, will provide a safe space for students to share their experiences and connect with peers who have gone through similar struggles. The meeting aimed to discuss how the platform can be integrated into the education system to support student well-being and mental health.
