Starmer to say ‘incremental change won’t cut it’ in major make-or-break speech to avert leadership challenge – UK politics live
Prime minister will try to convince Labour MPs to back him after suffering major election losses last week Good morning.

Returns on multipolarity
GLOBAL politics is hurtling towards a multipolar system the likes of which we haven’t seen since the late 20th century. Several indicators bear this out: the global hegemon for the past four decades, the US, is experiencing a decline in its ability and willingness to project power outwards, as seen in its continued failure in Eastern Europe and the Persian Gulf, and in the increased reluctance and reticence of its allies to pick up its slack. Much of this decline stems from internal structural p...

Stability as strategy in an energy crisis
This is the third global energy shock in less than two decades. For Pakistan, where imported fuel underpins much of the economy, the impact is invariably sharper than for most peers. The previous shocks in 2008 and 2022 did more than raise prices. They destabilised growth, strained external balances and reshaped politics. As the current crisis unfolds, the central question is whether policymakers will finally break from a pattern of costly, short-term fixes. The first episode, in 2007–08, was pa...
