Hello and welcome to our UK politics blog. David Lammy has come out in support of the prime minister, saying Keir Starmer would fight in a leadership contest after Andy Burnham said he would join one if elected an MP. βThere is no contest at the moment, and my view is it would be a huge distraction at this time,β the deputy prime minister told LBC this morning. βThe prime minister, by the way, has been absolutely clear: if there is a contest, heβll be in it.β He added: βIβve supported every leader of the Labour party. Theyβve had my full loyalty. Keir Starmer has got my loyalty, full loyalty, until the day he no longer wishes to serve.β His remarks came after the Greater Manchester mayor announced he would challenge the prime minister should there be a leadership race. It was the first time Burnham, who is standing in the Makerfield byelection, has publicly said he would consider launching a bid to become the Labour leader. Andy Burnham on BBCβs Question Time. Photograph: BBC Question Time/Reuters Appearing on Question Time last night, he said: βI think Wes Streeting seems to have launched a leadership contest, so if that is running, I would seek to join it. But Iβd have to persuade members of the Parliamentary Labour Party to do the same.β Hitting back at Burnham, Downing Street issued statement saying Starmer βwill not walk awayβ , adding: βThe country expects us to focus on governing and to deliver change for hard-working people, not get distracted by Westminster debates.β In an interview with the Guardianβs political editor Pippa Crerar, Burnham signalled he would begin transforming Englandβs broken social care system this year if he became prime minister. βIt is urgent, the need to fix social care, and I personally would look at all of the kind of implications of that in relation to inheritance tax and care charges and everything. I wouldnβt flinch from it,β he said. Read more here: βI wouldnβt flinchβ: Burnham on social care, markets, Brexit β and the prospect of a general election Read more Also today, Lammy said tech billionaire Elon Musk should βstep backβ from tweeting about the murder of Henry Nowak amid an ongoing feud between the government and X owner. βI think thereβs an IPO this week in the States on Starlink. Elon Musk should get on with that,β Lammy told Sky News. βI mean, tweeting over 100 times about this tragic, horrific case β¦ I urge Elon Musk to stay out of tweeting about this sensitive case.β He added: βI donβt spend time on X surfing Elon Musk tweets, so I havenβt read them, but Iβm not sure any of them reached the standard that require that. But I think it is appropriate for politicians to urge Elon Musk to step back.β Starmer has accused Musk of βinterfering in our politicsβ and attempting to create division with the numerous social media posts he has made about the murder of Nowak, many of which have used far-right themes and talking points.

Andrea Jenkyns was elected as mayor of Greater Lincolnshire in May 2025. Photograph: PA/Alamy View image in fullscreen Andrea Jenkyns was elected as mayor of Greater Lincolnshire in May 2025. Photograph: PA/Alamy Reformβs Andrea Jenkyns storms out of meeting after discussion of Henry Nowak murder Exclusive: Greater Lincolnshire mayor walks out on cabinet minister after row over social media role in community tensions Andrea Jenkyns walked out of a meeting with a cabinet minister and several other metropolitan mayors on Thursday after a heated discussion about the murder of Henry Nowak and the civil unrest that has followed. The Reform mayor of Greater Lincolnshire walked out of the meeting with the communities secretary, Steve Reed, and other regional leaders after a row over the role social media has played in exacerbating community tensions. The argument is the latest sign of the political tensions that have flared in the wake of Nowakβs murder by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man who falsely told police Nowak had racially abused him. The incident has prompted demonstrations attended by far-right activists, leading to violence and arrests. Keir Starmer has accused the X owner, Elon Musk, of exacerbating those tensions with near constant posting about the case over the last few weeks. The prime minister has also accused the Reform leader, Nigel Farage, of exploiting Nowakβs death for political purposes. Thursdayβs meeting between Reed and mayors from various parties was intended to be a policy-heavy discussion about which powers mayors would like to take over from the national government in London. The final segment was given over to a discussion about social cohesion given the events of the last few days. According to several sources at the meeting, Reed opened the discussion by saying he believed non-state actors were deliberately trying to stoke divisions in Britain, often using social media to do so. He specifically blamed βhostile foreign actorsβ for exacerbating the tensions seen on the streets of Southampton in recent days and asked the mayors for ideas to promote social cohesion. Oliver Coppard, the Labour mayor of South Yorkshire, echoed those sentiments and said recent protests from both left- and rightwing groups had left some communities feeling unsafe. Those there say Jenkyns seemed to react angrily to these comments, especially to the remarks about social media. Warning those in attendance that she was about to drop a βtruth bombβ, she said she believed there could be no social cohesion without freedom of speech and accused Labour figures of trying to deflect from criticism of Starmerβs handling of the murder case. Steve Rotheram, the Labour mayor of Liverpool, rejected her comments and accused her of having previously been part of a Conservative government that ignored the suffering of the families of those who died at the Hillsborough disaster. The argument then continued between Jenkyns and Tracy Brabin, the Labour mayor of West Yorkshi

The Amazon headquarters in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle. Photograph: Bloomberg/Getty Images View image in fullscreen The Amazon headquarters in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle. Photograph: Bloomberg/Getty Images Seattle, home to Amazon and Microsoft, poised to pass moratorium on new datacenters Measure expected to pass next week represents major rebuke to big tech as local disquiet over AI boom grows Seattleβs city government is on the verge of passing a year-long ban on the construction of new datacenters, the largest city yet in the US to consider such a moratorium as nationwide backlash grows. Four companies sought to build five large datacenters in areas serviced by Seattleβs public utility; if approved, they would have consumed approximately a third of the cityβs current daily demand for electricity. On Wednesday, city council committees unanimously passed the moratorium and an accompanying resolution . A full council vote on both measures is expected on Tuesday, which activists see as a formality after weeks of engagement with city officials on the topic. Lawmakers cited the two measures as an effort to protect residents from rising utility costs and environmental hazards . They said they plan to spend the duration of the moratorium drafting regulations tailored to the AI industryβs massive facilities. The swift response to the proposed datacenters represents a major rebuke in techβs own backyard. A hub for the technology sector, Seattleβs metro area serves as the headquarters for Microsoft and Amazon, which have laid off thousands of local workers over the past year as they spend a projected $390bn on AI investments in 2026. Seattleβs tech workers have shown up in large numbers to organize against the proposed datacenters. Lawmakers and advocates hope Seattleβs status as a tech city can encourage more jurisdictions to join the dozens of other local governments moving to regulate datacenters, which are bipartisanly unpopular . A strategic pause Seattle mayor Katie Wilson was alarmed by developersβ ambitions to build five large datacenters when the Seattle Times broke the news in April. βThat was the first that I, as the mayor, had heard about this,β she said. βBoth I and many of the councilmembers were happy to move toward a moratorium, especially knowing that there was really strong public support out there for that course of action.β Climate activists, progressive activists, an Amazon employee group and others participated in an email-writing campaign to Seattle lawmakers in protest of the proposed datacenters, and scheduled direct meetings and information sessions with city politicians. Eddie Lin, who chairs city councilβs land use and sustainability committee, received more than 10,000 emails from local residents in favor of the moratorium, according to his office. During a moratorium, officials may establish pollution standards, energy connection requirements and contract terms, labor standards, and other r

Richard Nixon famously lied to Congress over his knowledge of the Watergate scandal while Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives after declaring that he did not have βsexual relationsβ with Monica Lewinsky. How much does the American public care about politicians lying and could a new law stop it from happening?

British couple lose Iran jail sentence appeal, family says 14 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Caroline Hawley Diplomatic correspondent Free Lindsay and Craig Campaign Lindsay and Craig Foreman were detained in Iran in 2025 A British couple jailed in Iran on espionage charges have lost an appeal against their 10-year sentence, according to their family. Lindsay and Craig Foreman were arrested in January 2025 while passing through Iran on a round-the-world motorcycle trip. They were accused of spying - charges they adamantly deny - and were sentenced in February. Both are currently on hunger strike in Tehran's Evin prison. A member of their legal team in the UK told the BBC no reason was given for the rejection of their appeal. Lindsay's son, Joe Bennett, said they were "not permitted to attend their own appeal hearing". He added: "It is a serious human rights violation, and it is one more reason why two British citizens, with no other options left, are now starving themselves in protest." Bennett said his mother and step-father had been asked to sign documents in Farsi which they could not read, and refused. Barrister Haydee Dijkstal, part of their legal team in the UK, said: "Craig and Lindsay are innocent tourists who are arbitrarily detained and who have had their fundamental rights severely and consistently violated throughout their detention." Their case has now been passed to the Supreme Court, according to Bennett, although the family do not understand the legal process or the timeline of what might happen next. "It's really tough, I don't know where to turn now," he told the BBC. "I'm massively worried for them. But it's hard because I can't talk to them." The couple have been prevented from calling their family in the UK since they gave an interview to the BBC more than a month ago. They began a hunger strike shortly after their communications with the outside world were cut. Family members have said Craig, a carpenter, has been refusing food for 25 days. Lindsay, a life coach, briefly resumed eating but is now on day 16 of her hunger strike. Snippets of news come via the families of their cellmates. Craig - who is taking sugar, milk and water - is now said to be becoming visibly thinner and weaker. Bennett said there's less information on how his mother, Lindsay, is. He is desperate for news. Their last consular visit was back in December. British couple jailed in Iran: 'We're likely to be here for a long time' Family 'incredibly worried' for jailed Iran couple 'Everyone in this prison has had family killed or shot' The Foreign Office - which warns British citizens against travelling to Iran - has described their incarceration as "unjustified and appalling". Its current advice states: "Having a British passport or connections to the UK can be reason enough for the Iranian authorities to detain you."

Photograph: South Yorkshire police/PA Body found in search for boy, 11, who went missing in South Yorkshire river Mackenzie Swift entered the River Don in Mexborough on Saturday evening and failed to emerge A body has been found in the search for an 11-year-old boy who went missing after entering the River Don in South Yorkshire on Saturday. Mackenzie Swift entered the river in Mexborough at around 8pm and failed to emerge, prompting a police search. Officers announced on Tuesday morning that a body had been found during their search of the river. A spokesperson said formal identification had yet to take place but Mackenzieβs family had been informed and had been offered specialist support. Ch Supt Pete Thorp, the South Yorkshire police district commander for Doncaster, said: βFirst and foremost, on behalf of all who have been involved in the operation to find Mackenzie since Saturday, I send deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Losing a child is every parentβs worst nightmare and I know the impact this news will have on the wider community and particularly Mackenzieβs school. βI would also like to thank the local community, who enabled us to conduct our search and recovery with very few onlookers and cameras, to give Mackenzie and his family the dignity they deserve. Not only for that but also for the offers of assistance β we knew we had many members of the public willing to do anything they could to help.β Police conducted the search alongside South Yorkshire fire and rescue service, Woodhead mountain rescue and an underwater search team, and Thorp expressed his gratitude to all involved. There were at least 15 water-related deaths during the record-breaking hot spell in the UK last month. They included a 13-year-old girl who died after getting into difficulty in the River Wharfe in Burnsall, near Skipton, North Yorkshire, on Sunday evening; a 15-year-old from Cheshire who died in hospital after being rescued off the coast of Merseyside on bank holiday Monday; and a woman in her 60s who died trying to rescue a dog from the sea off Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, on Saturday. A man in his 60s who tried to help rescue the dog remains in critical condition. People in the area where Swift went missing have said the part of the river where he entered was known to be dangerous and that a child could easily get swept away. Water safety experts have warned about the dangers of outdoor swimming after the spate of deaths. Many fatalities are thought to be triggered by cold water shock as the water can remain very cold even when the air temperature soars.

Lady Donaldson 'aware' of alleged sex abuse incident involving bright light, court hears 3 hours ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Lyndsey Telford BBC News NI, at Newry Crown Court PA Media Lady Donaldson, pictured here in February 2025, is facing a trial of facts on five charges of aiding and abetting The jury in the sex abuse trial of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has heard claims from one of the alleged victims that the accused's wife was made aware of an alleged incident involving a bright light being shone on her private parts. During cross-examination of the younger of the two alleged victims, known as Complainant A, Lady Eleanor Donaldson's barrister said his client had "raised the matter" with Sir Jeffrey. The complainant had been referring to an alleged encounter in which she claimed Sir Jeffrey used a bright light, possibly a torch, to look at her genital area. Sir Jeffrey, a former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), denies 18 sex abuse charges, including one count of rape. Lady Donaldson denies five charges related to aiding and abetting. She faces a trial of the facts after she was previously deemed unfit to face a conventional trial on mental health grounds, and is therefore not participating in proceedings. The jury at Newry Crown Court heard claims that Complainant A told Lady Donaldson about the alleged incident involving a bright light. The complainant said Lady Donaldson later raised the issue with her "to ask if I was telling the truth". She said: "I knew by the look on her face she knew I was telling the truth. "Why would I make something like that up? I had no motive. Once she identified I was telling the truth, she did nothing about it." Lady Donaldson's barrister Ian Turkington KC put it to the complainant that Lady Donaldson did ask Sir Jeffrey about the alleged incident. Complainant A claimed she also informed Lady Donaldson of a separate alleged incident in which she said Sir Jeffrey kissed her. She said she told Lady Donaldson that Sir Jeffrey had "put his tongue in my mouth" and "moved his tongue around my mouth". The complainant said the matter was "laughed off" by both the defendants as "just a joke". "I can guarantee you I was not laughing at all," the complainant said. Sir Jeffrey denies acts of gross indecency and indecent assault against Complainant A when she was a child, between 1999 and 2008. Other alleged offences, dating back to 1985, including a charge of rape, relate to a second woman, Complainant B, when she was also a child. The trial continues.

Photograph: I-Hwa Cheng/AFP/Getty Images View image in fullscreen Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduces the RTX Spark laptop at Computex 2026 in Taipei. Photograph: I-Hwa Cheng/AFP/Getty Images Nvidia launches βsuperchipβ putting AI power into laptops and PCs Firm says its RTX Spark PC chip for Microsoft Windows will let AI agents replace the mouse and keyboard Business live β latest updates A new front has opened up in the battle for dominance in AI chips, as Nvidia said its latest development could replace the mouse and keyboard in how people use computers. The $5tn (Β£3.7tn) US semiconductor company has launched a βsuperchipβ that puts AI capabilities into laptops and desktop computers, a move that will pit it against Intel, Apple, Qualcomm and AMD. The RTX Spark chip will be launched this year, and will be used by computer makers including Dell, Lenovo, Asus and HP, paired with Microsoftβs Windows software, according to the Nvidia chief executive, Jensen Huang. AI is devoid of meaning and humanity. Thatβs why its vapid voice suits this political moment | Nesrine Malik Read more Speaking at the Computex conference in Taiwan, Huang said the chip would βreinvent the PCβ for the AI era, after three years of collaboration between Nvidia and Microsoft. A combination of a microprocessor and a graphics chip, developed with help from Taiwanβs MediaTek, it is designed to run AI agents locally rather than relying on cloud computing. It will allow agents to navigate PCs autonomously, replacing humansβ traditional mouse and keyboard interactions. Because the chip is very powerful, computers will still be thin and light, the company said. Huang said Nvidia was reimagining the PC βfor the first time in 40 yearsβ. The companyβs foray into the consumer PC industry will open up a new business line, but this will take time, analysts said. Nvidia, which dominates the booming AI semiconductor market, is pushing beyond graphics cards into integrated chips that power the whole computer. Neil Shah, a co-founder of Counterpoint Research, compared the βRTX Spark momentβ to the advent of the iPhone, ChatGPT and DeepSeek. βThe RTX Spark looks to transform the traditional app-centric PC to a real useful agentic AI personal computer which will eventually be in every home in coming years as private edge AI agents become pivotal,β he said. The new chip and Nvidiaβs Vera central processing unit demonstrate the companyβs growing focus on PC and central processing unit (CPU) products. The Vera CPU is designed for AI agents and early adopters, including OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX. Susannah Streeter, the chief investment strategist at Wealth Club, said: βNvidiaβs latest push into AI-powered personal computers marks a bold attempt to extend its dominance beyond datacentres and into consumersβ everyday lives. The unveiling of the RTX Spark chip reinforces Jensen Huangβs vision of PCs evolving from si

Photograph: Caroline Chia/Reuters Japan defence minister rebuffs claims of βnew militarismβ levelled by China Shinjiro Koizumi says Japan valued as a βpeace-lovingβ nation while China expands military capabilities βwithout sufficient transparencyβ Japanβs defence minister took a veiled swipe at China on Sunday, pledging to keep strengthening the military despite Beijingβs criticism of Tokyoβs increasingly muscular security stance. Under the prime minister, Sanae Takaichi , Japan has quickened its pivot to a more proactive defence policy, further shaking off β with US encouragement β its pacifist outlook in place since the end of the second world war. The change has drawn frequent rebukes from Beijing, which has accused Tokyo of following a reckless policy of βnew militarismβ that could destabilise the region. Japan sees largest protest in support of pacifist constitution as PM Takaichi pushes revisions Read more The Japanese defence minister, Shinjiro Koizumi, hit back on Sunday, saying βnothing could be further from the truthβ. βThink about it. There is a country that has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons and strategic bombers,β Koizumi said at the annual Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. βJapan has neither of such weapons. And yet, Japan is labelled (as) βnew militarismβ. Isnβt it strange?β he said, without mentioning China by name. China is thought to possess hundreds of nuclear warheads and has been rapidly developing its military in recent years. A diplomatic spat between the Asian rivals has been rumbling since Takaichi suggested in November that Japan might intervene militarily if China were to attempt to seize Taiwan, the self-ruled island that Beijing claims is part of its territory. Koizumi said that China was expanding its military capabilities βwithout sufficient transparencyβ and that its military activities were βa matter of serious concern for Japanβ. Tokyo would βsteadily build up its defence capabilities and make continuous updates with a high degree of transparencyβ, including in the fields of artificial intelligence, uncrewed systems and cyber and space defence, he said. βJapanβs past as a peace-loving nation has been valued by the region and by [the] international community. This fact will not be shaken by false claims, because it is a fact,β he said. The Shangri-La Dialogue is Asiaβs top defence forum, bringing together security officials and experts from about 45 countries. In contrast to Japan β and its ally the US β China has sent a watered-down delegation that does not include its defence minister, Dong Jun, for the second year running. Koizumi said he was βfeeling sad that we were unable to have the opportunity to have a meeting this timeβ.

A day after the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu , said his forces had advanced deeper into Lebanon, his counterpart Nawaf Salam warned the country was facing a βdangerousβ escalation, and called for βa swift and real ceasefireβ. In a televised address, Salam accused Israel of βpursuing a scorched-earth policy and collective punishmentβ by βdestroying towns and villages, and forcing their inhabitants into exileβ.

Now theyβre intensifying again | Editorial Read more This will bring βneither security nor stabilityβ to Israel, he said. Still, he defended his governmentβs engagement with its southern neighbour, after military delegations from both countries held security talks in Washington on Friday, with more US-brokered negotiations planned next week.

That was the first word out of Mikel Arteta's mouth in his post-match news conference when asked how he would sum up the Champions League final defeat to Paris St-Germain in Budapest. On Sunday, Arsenal will get on an open-top bus parade to celebrate their Premier League title, less than 24 hours after their final heartbreak. The Gunners, who were unbeaten in the Champions League this season heading into Saturday's final, missed out on becoming European invincibles with their penalty shootout defeat . Arsenal are hurting but they will fly back from Hungary early on Sunday before joining their fans to celebrate a season to be proud of. Before the game manager Arteta said he wanted to use the Premier League success as a platform to reach bigger destinations and to aim for more silverware. But unfortunately, his side fell at the final hurdle in their pursuit of a first European trophy, in their first final in the competition since 2006. Arsenal produced a battling display but lacked attacking quality as PSG dominated with 75% possession and eventually won on penalties as centre-back Gabriel skied his penalty in the shootout. The Gunners have still had an excellent season, winning the Premier League for the first time in 22 years, but could the manner of the defeat be what pushes Arsenal on next season?

This video can not be played Figure caption, Gabriel blazes over penalty as PSG win Champions League The Arsenal manager and players understandably looked dejected at the full-time whistle. "It is very tough to accept when you are so consistent all the way to the final and in the end you lose the trophy on penalties," Arteta said, before mentioning the decision not to give Arsenal a penalty in the second half when Noni Madueke tangled with Nuno Mendes. "I watched all the penalties in the competition in the last 72 hours to understand what a penalty is and what is not, and that easily can be a penalty," said the Spaniard. "But it is if, if, if. It is not what happened. "We need to do better, we have to improve and find different margins to get the outcome that we want." Arteta has already turned his mind to next season and helping Arsenal return to this stage. "First of all I will take a few days with my family and they will start the process to review what we've done," he said. "We'll start to make some very important decisions if we want to reach another level. "And we're going to have to show that ambition because we are

Ex-M&S chief to help government tackle youth unemployment 5 hours ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google George Wright Getty Images Marc Bolland also served as chief executive of Morrisons and chief operating officer at Heineken The former chief executive of Marks & Spencer has been brought in by the government to help get more young people into work after a review warned of a "lost generation". The review, authored by former minister Alan Milburn, found that one in six young people is set to be out of work, education or training in five years unless action is taken. Marc Bolland has been tasked with bringing business leaders together to expand opportunities for young people. He will also advise Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden on how to respond to the review. Opportunities shrinking for too many young people, says major report on 'lost generation' "I believe the government is serious about tackling this generational crisis of youth unemployment, and I know that working hand-in-hand with business to support young people gives them the best possible chance of success," Bolland said. In his review, Milburn warned: "The problem is that for too many young people, opportunities are not growing, they're shrinking." He was tasked with investigating why so many 16- to 24-year-olds are not in employment, education or training - known by the acronym Neet. His review, and other statistics, found that six in 10 Neets had never had a job. Despite this, it found 84% of Neet young people surveyed want a job or training. The review came as official figures revealed more than one million young people were not in education, employment or training - the highest level in more than 12 years. After the release of Milburn's report, the government announced some of the UK's biggest businesses would back 300,000 work experience and training placements for young people over the next three years. Bolland also served as chief executive of Morrisons and chief operating officer at Heineken. In 2012, he founded the charity Movement to Work in response to the previous year's riots, helping more than 200,000 disadvantaged young people into work. Youth unemployment

Photograph: Hollie Adams/Reuters The household battery revolution that could change energy bills β¦ and the world Australia is pioneering a revolution in home renewables and battery use, proving what is possible with the right policies The timing was rich with symbolism. As intense heatwaves pummelled Europe and Asia, and oil markets around the world leapt and sputtered, the two big chimneys of one of Australiaβs largest power stations were being demolished. Meanwhile, the Australian energy minister was holding a media conference to hail a fall of up to 10% in the benchmark electricity price in parts of the country. Quietly, and with surprisingly little fanfare from the rest of the world, Australia is pioneering a revolution in home renewables and battery use, proving what is possible with the right policies. The country was already one of the global leaders in domestic solar power, with panels on one in three homes. It also remains, however, a major contributor to the climate crisis through its vast fossil fuel exports. . But it is batteries that are giving Australia a new burst of speed. Nearly 60% of the household-scale battery capacity installed across almost 200 other countries this financial year will be in the southern continent, according to a recent analysis. Since July, about 415,000 have been connected β roughly one unit for every 25 Australian homes. Industrial-scale batteries are being built nearly as quickly, with Australia (population: 27 million) trailing only China (1.4 billion) and the US (350 million) in new capacity after connections more than doubled last year. The increase in battery usage big and small is starting to bring down the cost of electricity from the nationβs spindly power grid, which stretches more than 900,000km (560,000 miles) from tropical far-north Queensland to the southern island state of Tasmania.

If youβre a battery manufacturer focused on residential right now you really must be focused on Australia.β Batteries counter the long-used arguments against renewables β that they are unpredictable and intermittent and therefore put extra burdens on a national grid which must have an expensive backup power source such as gas in place. Instead, batteries mean solar power can be stored and used when it is needed. From early
