The Metropolitan Police announced a criminal investigation into allegations that Reform UK breached donation rules, following undercover filming broadcast by Channel 4. The allegations involved suggestions of breaking electoral law through arm's-length polling paid for by a US company and channeling money from an American donor via his UK-based son. Two senior Reform aides resigned, and Reform denied wrongdoing and said it would fully cooperate with the investigation.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham defended the government's decision to ban imports from illegal settlements in the West Bank, saying Britain must show leadership and stand against injustice. The Israeli government reacted with fury, ordering the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem. Burnham said the government took advice from security services and the Foreign Office before the decision.
Airlines UK wrote to the transport secretary expressing serious concern that over 330,000 passengers had been affected by recent air traffic control failures, saying airlines should not be left as insurers of last resort. The transport secretary ordered an independent review into the technical issue. Separately, hundreds of police officers lined the streets for the funeral of PC Matthew Blades, who died in a collision on the A66 alongside PC Tom Clough; the Prime Minister paid tribute.
