Sir Keir Starmer says England faces a "never-ending fight for our flag and what it represents", during a speech to mark St George’s Day at 10 Downing Street. The prime minister shares his worries about the far-right claiming ownership of the English flag at a reception to mark the nation’s patron saint. Sir Keir also praises England for its diversity, pointing to the difference between his "working class" background and his predecessor Rishi Sunak, "an English Hindu", who both become prime minister.

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions.
