Tory challenges Badenoch over national security row
The Independent
|June 27, 2025
Kemi Badenoch has suffered a blow to her authority after a Tory MP openly criticised her in the House of Commons and appeared to challenge her to suspend him.
The row erupted after the Conservative leader hit out at Sir Keir Starmer for "evading Prime Minister’s Questions", to attend the Nato and G7 summits.
Opposition MPs lined up to criticise the beleaguered Ms Badenoch, already under fire over her lacklustre leadership from some within her party.
However, in an extraordinary moment, one of her own MPs, Conservative Mark Pritchard, openly criticised her, saying partisan politics should be kept out of national security issues. He added: “Who knows, I may get the whip withdrawn for saying that, but so be it, there are things that go beyond party politics”.

The Baftas n-word disaster shines a spotlight on what's going wrong at the BBC
What's the opposite of covering yourself in glory? It's whatever the BBC teams covering the Baftas decided to do on Sunday. The famed British ability to say sorry has been embarrassingly, appallingly absent, and instead, the BBC’s usual noncommittal backside-covering has been deployed.

Starlink blocking Russia has delivered ‘enormous’ boost

Brigadier General Andrii Biletski, commander of Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps, says the impact of SpaceX switching off Starlink in areas of Ukraine now held by Russia's invading forces has been “enormous”.
