UK explores closer trade ties with the EU

The UK government has reportedly explored the possibility of creating a closer trading arrangement with the European Union, including discussions around a potential single market for goods as part of its broader post-Brexit reset strategy. According to sources familiar with the discussions, British officials raised the idea during recent contacts with EU representatives. However, the proposal has not advanced further after receiving a cautious response from Brussels. The discussions come ahead of a new UK-EU summit expected in the coming weeks, where both sides are likely to focus on strengthening economic cooperation in areas such as food exports, agriculture, energy trade and emissions regulations. In recent months, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves have repeatedly called for a stronger economic relationship with the EU following years of post-Brexit tensions. Behind the scenes, UK officials reportedly suggested broader negotiations […]

Wes Streeting Quits Starmer Government

Wes Streeting has resigned as UK health secretary following days of growing speculation about tensions within the Labour government and questions surrounding Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership. In a strongly worded resignation letter, Streeting criticised Starmer’s leadership style and warned that the Labour Party risks losing public confidence if it fails to provide a clearer political direction. Although he stopped short of officially launching a leadership campaign, Streeting suggested Labour should begin preparing for a future leadership transition and called for a “broad” contest involving multiple candidates. The former health secretary said remaining in government after losing confidence in the prime minister would have been “dishonourable and unprincipled.” Despite his resignation, Streeting praised recent progress within the National Health Service and stressed that his departure was not linked to policy disagreements, but rather concerns about the leadership of both the […]

Starmer Faces Revolt Inside Labour Party

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned Labour ministers and MPs that any attempt to remove him from office could throw the government into “chaos”, as pressure continues to mount inside his party. Facing growing criticism and resignation calls from several Labour lawmakers, Starmer used meetings in Parliament to defend his leadership and present what he described as a “radical” programme aimed at transforming the country. The prime minister promised major reforms in areas including healthcare, housing and immigration, insisting his government was prepared to challenge policies that had failed working people for years. His comments came shortly after the presentation of the government’s legislative programme during the King’s Speech delivered by Charles III in Parliament. Among the proposals announced were plans to abolish NHS England, introduce digital identity systems, reform leasehold property rules, strengthen rail infrastructure in northern England […]

UK PM Starmer vows not to resign over US envoy appointment scandal

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has insisted he will not resign over the controversy surrounding his appointment of Peter Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to the United States. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, Starmer said allegations that he misled MPs about the appointment had been “put to bed” after evidence given by the Foreign Office’s former top civil servant, Olly Robbins. Robbins was fired last week over the row. Starmer has faced intense pressure after admitting it was an error of judgment to push ahead with Mandelson’s posting despite red flags raised during security vetting. He had previously told lawmakers that “all due process” was followed. The prime minister now argues he would not have allowed the appointment to proceed had he been told that independent vetting officials recommended denying Mandelson security clearance. He told MPs that Robbins answered “no” when […]

British PM urged to resign over Mandelson security scandal

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under intense pressure to resign over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States after it emerged that Mandelson had failed a key security vetting.​ Public anger has grown in recent months following revelations that Mandelson’s 2024 nomination went ahead despite longstanding concerns about his close links to late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson, a veteran Labour figure who has held several ministerial positions since the late 1990s, has faced multiple scandals throughout his political career.​ The government has tried to shift blame onto foreign ministry officials, insisting that neither Starmer nor his foreign secretary knew about the failed vetting until this week. According to senior minister Darren Jones, the top civil servant at the foreign ministry, Olly Robbins, has now resigned after Starmer lost confidence […]

Ex-NATO chief says UK ‘not safe’

Former NATO secretary general George Robertson has warned that Britain’s national security is “in peril”, declaring that the UK is “not safe” under current defence arrangements. In extracts of a speech reported by the Financial Times and BBC, Robertson accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government of “corrosive complacency” on defence. He said the Iran war should serve as a “rude wake‑up call” to the risks the UK faces. “We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe,” the former Labour defence secretary was quoted as saying. Robertson led a government‑commissioned review of Britain’s defence capabilities, published last year, and was expecting ministers to follow it with a 10‑year defence investment plan. That plan was meant to be released late last year but has yet to appear. He told the Financial Times there was a gap […]

EU rejects Trump request on Strait of Hormuz

European Union leaders have rejected a request from United States President Donald Trump for military help to secure the Strait of Hormuz, as EU foreign ministers met in Brussels to discuss soaring oil prices caused by the US Israeli war on Iran . Trump had urged the United Kingdom, China, France, Japan, South Korea and other NATO allies to send naval ships to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, warning it would be very bad for NATO’s future if partners did not help secure the vital waterway . US officials spent the weekend trying to build support for a new coalition to patrol the strait and said they hoped to announce it in the coming days, although it remains unclear which countries will join or when any operation would start . Many close US allies are reluctant to send […]
