  • Blair warns Labour | Tories to “make Britain cool again” | Moon landing race between China and US

    Sir Tony Blair, Labour's most successful leader, has given a bleak assessment of the party's future.

    He has said the party must focus on policy not politics, and occupy the "radical centre".

    The Tories have pledged to lift a so-called ban on the installation of aircon systems in new homes - regulations they introduced in 2021 - in a bid to "make Britain cool again".

    The Royal National Lifeboat Institution has warned of the "very real risk" of swimming in open water in response to the deaths of five young people across the UK.

    Russia has been "relentlessly targeting" critical infrastructure and democracy in the UK and across Europe, according to the head of the intelligence agency GCHQ.

    The Lebanese health ministry has said at least 31 people, including several children, have been killed in the latest Israeli strikes on the southern and eastern parts of the country.

    And finally, the race to build a base on the moon is well and truly under way between China and the US.

    NASA has unveiled its plans as it aims to get Americans back on the moon before US President Donald Trump leaves office in 2029.

  • Andrew investigated over potential sex crimes | Single-sex spaces guidance | Bank Holiday heatwave

    Meanwhile the equalities watchdog has said in new guidance that single sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex.

    This means a trans woman - a biological male who identifies as a woman - should not use female toilets or changing rooms, according to the code of conduct which has been approved by ministers.

    It comes as there could be record-breaking temperatures over the Bank Holiday - with health warnings in place.

  • Streeting targets Burnham? | Action against parents for children’s crimes | First Englishman to win US PGA since 1919

    Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting who resigned from the government on Thursday has announced he would like to see the UK rejoin the EU one day, as he announced he would stand in any Labour leadership contest.

  • Burnham to stand as MP? | Farage donation scrutiny| First Football World Cup halftime show

    The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, says he will try to become an MP in the Makerfield by-election, which could also pave the way for him to enter Downing Street.

    There’s confusion over Donald Trump’s plans in Iran and doubt over the stability of the current ceasefire, after the president said his military campaign against the country is "to be continued".

    Leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, is in hot water as the controversy over the £5million donation he received from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne will see him facing a parliamentary standards investigation.

    There has been a new meningitis outbreak in Reading, with close contacts to those affected being offered medication as a precaution.
