Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

Andy Burnham faced his first Prime Minister's Questions as prime minister, with exchanges dominated by defence spending, tax cuts, and economic turbulence. He blamed the previous government's legacy for global market instability, while Kemi Badenoch accused him of dodging questions on tax and spending. Burnham also announced a wildfire summit and promised action on a maternity hospital closure, and he continues to host a separate 'people's PMQs' on Instagram. Defence spending emerged as a key issue, with the prime minister indicating a decision would be delayed until a later spending review, drawing criticism from the defence select committee chair.

The US military responded to Iranian claims that its latest strikes killed civilians, including a four-year-old child, at a wedding in southern Iran. A US Central Command spokesman said they were looking into the reports, while President Trump threatened further attacks. The White House also posted a map renaming the Strait of Hormuz as 'Trump Strait', prompting discussion about the economic impact of the conflict and the lack of a clear endgame.

The King and Queen, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, were given a first viewing of the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum, where it will be displayed until July next year. Both leaders gave speeches highlighting the bond between Britain and France, with the King noting the tapestry was made in Canterbury. The loan also sparked discussion about the display of contested artefacts, including the Parthenon Sculptures, with the British Museum's loan model seen as a possible precedent.

    Contested quote US strikes Iranian oil tankers, Iran threatens retaliation

    Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for US CENTCOM, told Sky News, We're aware of the reports which originated from Iranian state media, and we are looking into them. The US military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC. Iran too has been launching strikes, saying it was targeting US military sites across the region.

    Contested quote US strikes Iranian oil tankers, Iran threatens retaliation

    Yeah, and I mean, the claim is that it should be renamed Trump Strait because there's freedom of passage in the Gulf, and demonstrably, there is not freedom of passage in the Gulf, and therefore, the whole thing becomes more sort of narcissistic bluster. I suspect if we went back to where we were before Trump and Israel started this war,

    Charged quote Bayeux Tapestry goes on display at British Museum

    And actually Andy Burnham sounded very enthusiastic, and that was quite sweet. But then the clips I've heard of him tonight sort of say, making this really laboured, quite lame joke about, you know, the King of the North coming down south, and oh, it couldn't happen today. And I thought, oh, no, just stick to something a bit more in your lane than that joke, that
