Sir Keir Starmer is expected to use a weekend call with Donald Trump to stress that the BBC, while a respected British institution, must uphold the highest standards and correct errors swiftly. This call comes amid Trump's plans to sue the BBC for up to £3.

The Express newspaper quoted Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey as saying: "This is Keir Starmer's moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit. The prime minister has spent months cozying up to Trump. If he can't stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?"

Sir Keir Starmer’s team has rejected a request to meet with John Swinney this week ahead of the Budget, the First Minister has claimed. Mr Swinney is due to head to London this week, taking part in an event related to Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ upcoming statement to the Commons.

Donald Trump has taken a sly swipe at Keir Starmer's inability to curb the migrant crisis insisting "it can be done". The US President gave an exclusive one-on-one interview to Bev Turner on GB News during which he made his feelings clear about how the UK and Europe are dealing with the current slew of illegal immigrants insisting the need to take it in hand.
