Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The programme opened with the Sun's front page comparing illegal small boat arrivals to the Bayeux Tapestry, noting France's promise of 45 new police officers to patrol beaches. In Prime Minister's Questions, Kemi Badenoch accused Prime Minister Andy Burnham of making unfunded spending promises; borrowing costs were at an 18-year high. Burnham blamed previous Conservative governments for stagnant growth and rising debt. Badenoch also proposed a £10 billion defence boost funded by welfare cuts and scrapping the Chagos Islands deal.
In Spain, nationwide protests occurred over the government's handling of a migrant crisis in Ceuta, where 70,000 people crossed from Morocco in two days, leaving thousands in makeshift camps. Opposition parties accused the Spanish prime minister of abandoning Ceuta, while the government blamed right-wing parties for exploiting the crisis. In Portugal, a British woman was stabbed to death in a hotel corridor in Albufeira, and a man was arrested. President Trump said he was pleased Prince Harry and Meghan had returned to the UK, adding they had treated the royal family with great disrespect.
Breaking news saw Andy Burnham preparing to push for deeper UK-EU ties ahead of meeting Emmanuel Macron, after calling Brexit a huge error. A report in the Times claimed 300,000 'hidden NEETs'—young people not in education, employment or training—are missing from official figures, with many relying on financial support from parents.
