ANALYSIS: Prime Minister visibly irritated as Tory leader accuses him of 'vandalising' education in hard-hitting PMQs attack

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class must lead to “fundamental change” in how the British state protects citizens.

Starmer’s poor political instincts are often explained by his background in the law and the Crown Prosecution Service. The same is said of Rachel Reeves and the Bank of England. But this argument does not quite work because Tony Blair, far and away the most formidable British politician this century, was likewise a lawyer.

The Treasury has ordered departments to find efficiency savings of 5% but it is feared that the rising cost of borrowing could mean cuts go even deeper. Ms Reeves has said she is determined to get borrowing down and also to avoid further tax hikes, suggesting cuts may be the only option left in order to balance the books.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed on Tuesday to "leave no stone unturned" to uncover failings in preventing the killings of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed event, saying an inquiry could lead to a change in terrorism laws.

Michael Saunders, a former member of the BoE's monetary policy committee which sets interest rates, said the latest inflation figure would be "some help" in trying to ease some of the worries over the UK economy - more on that in our next post.

LONDON (AP) — The British government said Friday it has no plans to change a law barring young people from being imprisoned for life, despite widespread demands for the teenage killer of three young girls to die behind bars. Axel Rudakubana, 18, was sentenced to serve at least 52 years for a stabbing rampage at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.

The Tory leader brands Labour's Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill an "act of vandalism"; Keir Starmer says it protects at-risk children.
