It is a "personal decision" for Sir Keir Starmer whether he chooses to fight any potential leadership contest, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has said.

She told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that Sir Keir had "shown before that he's up for a fight" and "I wouldn't write off the prime minister".

The PM has defied calls to step down in recent days, after nearly 90 of his own MPs urged him to go and five ministers resigned.

On Wednesday, allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting said they expected him to launch a challenge as soon as today.

Pochin claimed the Reform leader had received the gift before he was in politics. Debbonaire, who tried to interject several times, refuted the claim, saying: 'You have been interrupting me all night, Sarah, and now you’re just talking rubbish.'

France has recorded its hottest day since records began in 1947, breaking a record set a day earlier, as an early summer heatwave grips western Europe. France’s national temperature indicator - an average of day and night temperatures across dozens of locations - hit 30C, up from 29.8C a day earlier.

In the UK a red heat alert is in place for large areas of England, with a temperature of 36.1C recorded in Hampshire, the highest ever recorded in June. Forecasters predict temperatures could soon hit 38C.

The heatwave has caused deaths and serious disruption, particularly in France, Spain and Italy and is spreading to other parts of western Europe, with a new orange alert for dangerous weather in place for parts of the Netherlands.

Temperatures are expected to peak in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in the next few days, with the heatwave also forecast to affect eastern Europe, where severe heat warnings have been issued in Poland, Croatia and Hungary.

Climate change is driving up temperatures around the world - but particularly in Europe - which some experts believe is heating up twice as fast as the global average.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein when, as Prince Andrew, he was a UK trade envoy.

Emails seen by the BBC from the recently released Epstein files show Mr Mountbatten-Windsor apparently passing on details of investment and trade opportunities to the convicted sex offender.

The emails were sent in 2010, at a time when Andrew later claimed he had cut off contact with Epstein. Official guidance says trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality, with sensitive commercial or political information.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been contacted for comment by the BBC but has not responded.

The UK terrorism threat level has been raised to "severe", meaning an attack is "highly likely" in the next six months.

Two Jewish men - Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76 - were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, on Wednesday, in an attack police have declared as a terrorist incident.

The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre said the increase follows yesterday's stabbings, but "is not solely a result of that attack".
