We're calling on England fans to enjoy the #FIFAWorldCup game vs Panama safely on Saturday.

We saw a 50% surge in 999 calls and an increase in alcohol-related assaults after the last match against Ghana. Your actions can help us reduce the number of avoidable ambulance callouts.

BREAKING:

It's over. It looks like a full-blown coronation for Andy Burnham is now very much on the cards

Wes Streeting, the former health secretary, has folded in behind Andy Burnham. 'Having spoken at length to Andy in recent days I'm convinced that there is a place for those ideas under his leadership; that he is committed to building an inclusive party that draws on the best of our political traditions; and that he can win the fight of our lives against the forces of nationalism

'We could spend the summer exaggerating small differences, or we can roll up our sleeves and help him to deliver the change our party and our country needs. That is the choice that I am making and I hope that everyone else will back Andy too."

The key question now is whether a deal has been done. Will Wes Streeting be the next Chancellor?

Keir Starmer's response to John Healey:

* He repeatedly emphasises the importance of having 'sustainable' increases in defence spending and rebukes Healey. 'Strong public finances are part of what keeps us safe - irresponsible borrowing only puts that at risk'

* He signals that the defence investment plan will still go ahead but does not say when. At this stage it's not even clear who the defence secretary will be that delivers it

* There's a broad 'I will fight on' message underpinning it. 'Taking these decisions is never easy. I am determined to rebuild our country after years of being buffeted by crises. I am sorry that you will not be part of that going forward'

WES STREETING MOVES

His resignation letter is a character assassination of Starmer, accusing him of failing to take responsibility for his own failings and presiding over ‘vacuum and drift’. It is about as personal as it gets

‘Where we need vision we have vacuum. Where we need direction we have drift’

He says that Starmer has failed to take responsibility for his own failings and that ‘too often that has meant other people falling on their swords’. He accuses him of taking a ‘heavy handed approach to dissenting voices’, saying it ‘diminishes our politics’

‘It is clear now you will not lead the Labour Party into the next general election film and thag Labour MPs and Labour unions want to debate about what comes next for to be a battle of ideas’

He says the election results were unprecedented both in terms of the scale of the defeat and the ‘consequences of that failure’

He says the rise of nationalists resents an ‘existential threat to the values and ideals that have made this country great’

Progressives understand the threat but are ‘increasingly losing faith’ that Labour is capable of rising to the challenge

He singles out stripping people of the winter fuel allowance be the island of strangers speech as examples of info individual policy failures but more broadly says the country ‘does not know who we are or what we stand for’

I hope that if there's one thing that this Iran conflict and the explosion of online misinformation about it has laid bare for most people is the significance of content verification and fact-checking in the digital age.

AI cannot replace human verification, at least not yet.

[The Spectator @spectator]

Where exactly is the Middle East?

– The term was first popularised in an article by Alfred Thayer Mahan, a US academic on naval strategy, published in the National Review in 1902, proposing that western powers would need outposts like Gibraltar to serve their interests in the region, which he defined as the countries bordering the Persian Gulf.

This distinguished it from the Near East, a now largely defunct term for the countries surrounding the eastern Mediterranean, including Turkey and the Balkans.

Will Britain carry out direct airstrikes against Iranian missile launchers in Iran?

The answer for now is a no - despite the government's acknowledgement that doing so would be legal

A Whitehall source told @larisamlbrown it was "not pitch rolling for an immediate change of posture" and the UK was still focused on bolstering its presence in the region, with more Typhoons and helicopters arriving in the coming days

The Times understands the UK is only likely to join the strikes on Iran if there is deemed to be an escalation, such as an attack killing UK troops or civilians or new intelligence pointing to an Iranian plot which can be stopped by attacking military targets
