Photograph: Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP Andy Burnham appoints Bridget Phillipson as Labour party chair Former education secretary will take up influential role that puts her at vanguard of Labour’s battle to win next general election Bridget Phillipson has been appointed Labour party chair, putting her at the vanguard of Labour’s battle to win the next general election. The former education secretary and architect of a landmark overhaul in special education needs (Send) provision in England will follow in the footsteps of other Labour big beasts who have held the position, including Harriet Harman, Angela Rayner and Tom Watson. Phillipson, who was sacked as education secretary by Andy Burnham last week, replaces Anna Turley after last week’s government reshuffle, which saw the Labour Co-op MP for Redcar moved to a new ministerial role in the Home Office. The prime minister said the MP for Houghton and Sunderland South would drive culture change and work alongside him and Powell. “She will play a vital role in ensuring the Labour party is match fit for the next election,” he said. “I am delighted Bridget has accepted this role and I look forward to working closely with her on this vital task.” After a major cabinet reshuffle in which dozens of cabinet ministers and ministers loyal to Keir Starmer were removed from their posts, Phillipson was viewed as a rare survivor, albeit in a reduced role. In what is likely to be seen as an olive branch to members of the previous government, Labour said the appointment reflected Burnham’s “commitment to drawing on the full breadth and depth of talent across the Labour party as he builds one united team”. Phillipson said she would put “Labour values and the voices of our movement at the heart of government”. She added: “By uniting together, we will bring hope back to communities and strengthen British society against those working to divide us.” Phillipson was demoted last week when she was replaced by key Burnham ally Lucy Powell as secretary of state for education. But she maintained her position in the cabinet as women and equalities minister, the first time the traditionally more minor role has been part of cabinet in its own right. While not an overt Burnhamite, the former education secretary was not seen as overly tribal and had won plaudits from Labour MPs for her engagement over plans to make provision for children with Send more widely available in mainstream schools. Critics raised concerns about the plans, which will raise the bar at which children in England qualify for an education, health and care plan (EHCP), which legally entitles them to get support. Phillipson has become s

Image source, Reuters Image caption, President Trump said "good talks" were taking place By Jaroslav Lukiv Published 4 hours ago US President Donald Trump has said "there are very friendly negotiations going on" about the conflict with Iran, after the warring sides did not exchange strikes for a third straight day. He expressed optimism for an end to the war on Monday, telling reporters aboard Air Force One: "I think there's a good chance that something could happen." However, he warned that Washington would "go back to doing what we were doing" before the pause in fighting if the latest negotiations failed. Tehran has denied that any direct negotiations are taking place. Trump said he had decided to pause US strikes on Iran on Friday because the countries mediating between them had asked him to give the talks another chance. Iran has also halted its attacks. The pause follows nearly two weeks of daily US strikes and tit-for-tat attacks, effectively unravelling the ceasefire struck in June. The US military said at the time that its strikes were aimed to "degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz" - a global route for transporting oil. The price of oil on Monday fell by more than 9% to $87.59 a barrel at one point on hopes the conflict could be de-escalated. Aboard the presidential plane, Trump also dismissed media reports that after five months of fighting, US ammunition stockpiles were now running low. "We have a lot of ammunition. We have a lot of the mid-level stuff too, more than we could ever use, no matter what," Trump said. "But we have a lot. I'd like to have more." He said a "lot of equipment" was being built, in particular Patriots - highly valued US-made anti-ballistic missiles. "That system is going up. We have a lot," he said. Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said the US military "has more than enough munitions, ammo, and stockpiles to serve all of President Trump's strategic goals and beyond, and Operation Epic Fury has exposed what happens when you mess with the United States." "Even still, the president has urged our defence contractors to constantly produce more made-in-America weapons, which are the best in the world," the spokesperson added. As the US pauses the war with Iran, is Trump really running out of weapons? Published 4 hours ago More than 600 US military service members injured since Iran War began in February Published 12 hours ago The US and Israel launched their strikes against Iran on 28 February. Tehran retaliated by firing missiles and drones on US military bases and other assets located in Gulf states, as well as on targets inside Israel. In June, Iran and the US signed a memorandum of understanding to stop military operations and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as well as to reach an agreement to end the war over the following 60 days. But after Iranian forces attacked tankers in the waterway on 13 July, Washington resumed air strikes against Iran and reinstated i
