From handing over the Chagos Islands to compensating Gerry Adams, Starmer's decisions owe more to human rights lawyers than sound politics. He needs to sack his chum Lord Hermer before he shipwrecks his Government.

Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

Breaking News. Video Released by hostage takers.

A video released by Muslim militants has shown them beheading British hostage Kenneth Bigley in Iraq. Mr Bigley, who was given an Irish passport on Tuesday, was shown speaking as six militants stood behind him. One read a statement and then cut his head off with a knife. Sources in the rebel-held city of Fallujah said earlier that Mr Bigley was killed yesterday afternoon in Latifiya, a Sunni Muslim town southwest of Baghdad.
