Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described it as a "landmark deal" which will "boost growth and deliver for British people and business".

Ukrainian troops received a raucous standing ovation as they marched through London’s VE Day Parade, marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe. The powerful show of support comes as European leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and the British Royal Family stand united with Ukraine in the fight against Russia's unprovoked invasion. As the procession passed through London’s iconic streets and ended at Buckingham Palace, the message was clear: the global community stands with Ukraine. Watch as the royals and NATO allies send a defiant signal to Putin, reinforcing their commitment to Ukraine’s continued struggle for freedom and sovereignty.

Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch has criticised the landmark UK-India trade agreement, labelling it a "double taxation agreement". "It basically encourages workers from India but does not provide the same benefit to UK citizens. This is two-tier taxes," Ms Badenoch said. Report by Kennedyl.

Kemi Badenoch says the public still does not trust the Conservatives. Speaking after the party’s poor performance in last week’s elections, she also dismissed ‘talk of leadership challenges’ and insisted her job is to change that.
