EXCL: Keir Starmer has become first UK PM to be presented with Légion d’honneur by French president, in recognition of his work on security of Europe. Emmanuel Macron awarded the historic honour to Starmer for his l'ship in setting up coalition of the willing at a critical moment for the continent in early 2025. Only other British PM to receive a similar award – at a higher level, the Grand-Croix of the Légion d’honneur – was Winston Churchill in 1958 in recognition of his leadership during the second world war. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

I have seen firsthand the anxiety in our Jewish communities and the very real threat they face. Their safety will be a priority for me - we must do more to stamp out the scourge of antisemitism and protect Jewish communities across the country. This funding boost is a welcome and necessary step towards that. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
