The EU has said it will maintain its diplomatic presence in Kiev unchanged, despite Russia's warnings. Well, apparently they've got diplomats to spare and need to trim the headcount.

🚨BREAKING | Burnham has abandoned his support for trans rights in his latest u-turn, backing EHRC guidance and the 2025 Supreme Court ruling.
At a campaign launch, he said: "The time has come to take the Supreme Court ruling and the guidance and implement it"

“He talks about values, but I think what Londoners value is not being mugged, not being raped by a serving police officer.”
CEO of Palantir UK Louis Mosley says London Mayor Sadiq Khan is “putting politics over public safety” by blocking the tech firm’s deal with the Met Police.

@PippaCrerar He doesn’t mean it, he’s trying to get elected into a constituency that doesn’t like immigration.

EXCL: Andy Burnham is backing Shabana Mahmood’s controversial changes to the immigration system, his allies have said, in a blow to those in Labour who hope to soften them.
The Greater Manchester mayor is understood to be keen to reframe the changes - but is supportive of home secretary’s attempts to limit legal and illegal migration.
Burnham faces tough fight to return to Westminster against Reform UK, which has already called him “open-borders Andy”.
But those close to his campaign say he will not seek to dilute the government’s curbs on migration - which have been criticised by some senior Labour MPs as un-British and mimicking Trump.

@owenjonesjourno @Calderbank Yes Green voters would vote Labour. I’m one of them. Sometimes it’s bigger than party Owen. The left should unite when there’s a chance of real victory to stop the far right. People lives will be truly affected.

The Greens realise that a Burnham-led Labour Party could burst their bubble - no wonder they are standing a candidate.
They know they won’t win, but that’s not what it’s about for them

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer invited all Ministers into his office tonight to tell them that for the sake of the country, "Wes can't win"
One Minister said: “There was something in his eyes I haven't seen before. And I liked it"

BREAKING: An ally of Wes Streeting - who came out publicly to call for Starmer to go - says Streeting has “blown it.” They say he has lost support today from MPs who might have backed him and that they now don’t think he has the numbers to get on the ballot.

***NEW: State of play this evening*** Keir Starmer has defied all expectations, surviving the day despite some 90 Labour MPs calling for his head and four junior ministerial resignations. A minister tells Bloomberg they are astonished Starmer has managed to get through it without being forced to announce a timetable for his departure, saying the day went better for him than anyone can have imagined. Starmer’s stance at cabinet effectively dared his rivals to come out and publicly challenge him. As of this evening, no one has. Streeting is speaking with Starmer tomorrow morning, as per @steven_swinford, after the PM blanked him post-cabinet. The health secretary’s allies say he won’t say anything to distract from the king’s speech. Labour MPs and aides think Streeting is conducting what one calls a campaign of attrition against Starmer by drip-feeding his supporters’ calls for the PM to go. His camp deny he is orchestrating a plot. Streeting’s supporters say they are divided about his strategy. Some are disappointed he has not yet gone over the top, fearing he could be seen as losing his nerve and being labelled a bottle job. However, others caution that pressure has to grow organically on Starmer before Streeting is able to challenge him, otherwise the soft-left will accuse him of a cynical move to force a contest before Andy Burnham is ready. One Streeting supporter says they fear his chances of becoming PM are decreasing. They say they’re struggling to see how he has a path to No10 because if he runs the soft-left will put someone up against him who is likely to be favoured by members. They say they’re coming to terms with what they see as the likelihood that Burnham will succeed Starmer. However so far Burnham is also still silent. He’s in London meeting MPs and discussing his options. His camp insist he has a plan to make it to parliament, but so far they’ve stopped short of announcing it. Labour is in a state of paralysis tonight. David Lammy says no one has come forward and no one seems to have the numbers against Starmer. Most in Labour don’t expect that to hold. They still think the PM will be forced to announce a timetable in the coming days if Streeting, Burnham and the cabinet move. But as of right now, he clings on.

@owenjonesjourno I’m happy that Tel Aviv Keir is allowed to stay. The damage he will do to Labour will probably kill the party
English
The worst possible result for Labour:
- It does really badly, but not badly enough for Labour MPs to evict Starmer
- Labour MPs are torn over the party losing support to different parties in different places, and have an inconclusive civil war over which direction to pivot
megan kenyon@meganekenyon
Some quite fiery takes coming in from soft-left Labour sources to this first smattering of results this morning. One texts: "Rejected by the public. Increasingly rejected by his own party. If Keir truly listens to these results he will set out a date for his departure. If he doesn’t, he’ll go down in history as the man whose hubris killed the Labour Party."
English
These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities.
People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future.
I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.
