As Keir Starmer announced his resignation outside Number 10, the EU anthem Ode to Joy could be heard playing in the background.

Former DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has been found guilty of all 18 child sex abuse charges including one charge of rape. The abuse against the two victims happened between 1985 and 2008.

Speaking at Newry Crown Court in Northern Ireland, the judge says he faces a "lengthy" prison sentence which will be determined later this year.

The jury also found that his wife Lady Eleanor Donaldson aided and abetted her husband. She won't be facing criminal convictions as the court ruled she was unfit to stand trial on mental health grounds.

“A new leader gets a very short window… and Andy Burnham would have even less time.”

Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika on what a Burnham premiership would need to prioritise from day one - from defence spending and welfare reform to tackling high energy costs.

She warns that without a clear plan, the next prime minister risks repeating the same mistakes that brought down Keir Starmer.

Starmer has announced his resignation as Labour leader and prime minister after serving just 717 days in office. So how did he lose control so quickly?

The Commons turned into a Roast as Andy Burnham was sworn in as an MP.

Turn your volume up to hear the backbenches shouting everything from "Who?!" to "He's flying backwards!", mocking his return to Westminster as if it is a demotion, even though everyone in the chamber knows he’s actually there to launch a rapid bid for the top job.

The Trump-backed Colombian candidate Abelardo De La Espriella secured a narrow presidential runoff victory with almost 50% of the vote, leading Senator Ivan Cepeda by more than 250,000 votes.
