Prime minister to give speech on the government’s technology policy this morning Good morning. Two weeks today, it seems more likely than not that Andy Burnham will be taking his seat as the new MP for Makerfield. A byelection win is not certain, but the campaign is definitely going his way. Keir Starmer has been saying he won’t just stand aside and let Burnham replace him as Labour leader, but these briefings are being received with a hefty dose of scepticism. The unnamed minister quoted in today’s Times splash gives a more realistic guide to what is happening. They say: Keir has entered his legacy era. The conversations are now all, ‘What is announceable in time before Makerfield?’ No one doubts the huge potential of tech to change lives. But we have to decide who that change is for. This government’s choice is clear: the tech revolution must work for everyone, not just a privileged few. We’re backing British businesses to lead the way, driving growth and investment that turns into more jobs and stronger communities. And we’re using tech to bring opportunity to every corner of the country – helping people into work, tackling inequalities, boosting skills and building a fairer future. The tool will provide a 24/7 resource for people, offering guidance on topics such as career development, job searching and applications. The trial will last for around three months, to gather data and feedback on how people are using the service so that it can be adapted and improved as necessary. Continue reading...
Hong Kong could be bracing for typhoon "Dim Sim" in the future, after the designation was added to the list of tropical cyclone names in the western North Pacific and the South China Sea this year. According to a statement published on Monday by the Hong Kong Observatory, "Dim Sim" was among nine new names introduced to the list, with others including "Koki", "Gaeguri", "Hebi", "Tomo", "Burapha" and "Hoaban". While "Koki" – which was proposed by Cambodia – refers to the name of a tree there, "Hebi" is the Japanese word for snake. The forecaster said the new names would replace nine old ones and that they were endorsed by the Typhoon Committee under the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific and the World Meteorological Organization. Names for tropical cyclones can be reused, but are retired if a storm incurs heavy casualties or economic losses, according to the Observatory. The retired names include "Trami" and "Kong-rey", a typhoon and a super typhoon in October 2024 that caused nearly 160 deaths and affected 9.6 million people. Other retired names include "Man-yi", "Usagi" and "Krathon". Since 2000, the committee's 14 members have been nominating names with local characteristics. The SAR's nomination of "Dim Sim" came after the Observatory adopted 20 reserve names for tropical cyclones following a public contest, with "Dim Sim", "Milktea", and "Tsing-ma" among the popular choices.

All the big hitters – on the leave side, anyway – are rolled out for Brexit: A Very British Civil War. Plus: the return of scouse comedy G’Wed. Here’s what to watch this evening 9pm, BBC Two What a decade it’s been. As the nation prepares to link hands and joyfully celebrate the 10th anniversary of the decision to leave the EU, this two-part documentary recaps the febrile weeks and months around that choice. History, it is said, is written by the winners. And so it proves here: disappointingly, this story is told overwhelmingly from the perspective of the factions making up the leave campaign, as Michael Gove, Kate Hoey, Nigel Farage, Arron Banks and Boris Johnson offer their thoughts. Meanwhile, in the remain corner, it’s basically David Cameron, George Osborne and, muttering sadly to himself, Jeremy Corbyn. Fascinating and horrifying. Phil Harrison Continue reading...
Afraid you have made the ‘wrong’ choice? Don’t worry – there are ways to change direction
US President Donald Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have "no choice" but to accept a potential agreement between the US and Iran, the Financial Times reported.
Last week, Trump told Netanyahu, "You're fucking crazy."
• National polls show they have modest edge over Republicans • Congress serves as check on presidential powers WASHINGTON: National polling suggests that Democrats hold a modest advantage over Republicans ahead of the 2026 US mid-term elections, a contest that could significantly affect President Donald Trump’s ability to advance his agenda during the second half of his term. A compilation of recent generic congressional ballot surveys, published by The New York Times on Sunday, shows Democrats leading in most national polls by margins ranging from one to six percentage points, with one survey showing a larger Democratic advantage. The generic ballot asks voters which party they would support for Congress without naming specific candidates. According to the non-partisan US Vote Foundation, a mid-term election takes place halfway through a president’s four-year term. In 2026, voters will elect all 435 members of the US House of Representatives and 35 members of the 100-seat Senate. “The composition of Congress, and which party in Congress has greater power to make laws and decide whether to support, modify or reject the president’s actions, will greatly affect the president and the success of his administration,” the foundation noted. Powerful check Congress forms the legislative branch of the US government and serves as a powerful check on presidential authority. A Congress controlled by the opposition party can block legislation, launch investigations and make it more difficult for a president to implement policies. Historically, mid-term elections have often been difficult for sitting presidents. The US Vote Foundation noted that “voters typically want change and therefore, the president’s party typically loses ground in mid-term House elections”. According to the organisation, this occurred in 20 of the past 22 mid-term elections. Current polling may reflect that historical pattern. President Trump’s job approval ratings remain weak by historical standards. The New York Times polling average shows 38 per cent approval and 58pc disapproval, while the Economist/YouGov average places his approval rating at 35pc and disapproval at 60pc. Political scientists have long observed a strong relationship between presidential popularity and mid-term election outcomes. The 2026 elections are also unfolding amid an increasingly heated debate over the health of American democracy. Analysts say that public reaction to the administration’s domestic and foreign policies, including the consequences of the conflict with Iran, could influence voter sentiment and shape electoral choices. The Washington Post recently reported that the Trump administration had pursued several controversial measures, including efforts to redraw congressional districts in some states, changes to voting procedures, and prosecutions of political opponents. Fair electoral maps Among the groups expressing concern is the Campaign Legal Centre (CLC), a Washington-based non-profit organisation that advocates voting rights and fair electoral maps. “Our democracy is under threat,” the CLC warned. “By protecting the freedom to vote and fighting for fair maps and transparent elections, we can ensure that our democratic system remains resilient. The future of our elections depends on the actions we take today.” Another factor shaping the battle for control of the House is the congressional map that will be used in the 2026 elections. Because House seats are awarded district by district rather than according to the national popular vote, district boundaries can influence which party wins a majority even when national vote totals remain close. As a result, Democrats leading in national polling do not automatically translate into a House majority. Analysts note that control of the chamber will likely be decided in a relatively small number of competitive districts, where local issues, candidate quality and voter turnout often matter as much as national political trends. With less than five months before elections, the political landscape could still shift significantly. Economic conditions, international crises, presidential approval ratings and voter turnout will all influence the final outcome. For now, however, the early indicators point to a familiar pattern in American politics: an unpopular president, an energised opposition party and a mid-term election that could reshape the balance of power in Washington.
