An immigration ruling that allowed a Gaza family to remain in Britain sparked a row when a judge branded criticism of her verdict “unacceptable,” provoking Tory outrage and prompting key figures such as the PM, Kemi, and Starmer to insist on the right to scrutinise judicial decisions.

A Tory figure urged conservatives to defend free speech, free markets and the rule of law, warning they must abandon deference to progressive pressure and instead uphold core Western values to avoid political marginalisation.

Sir Keir Starmer faces mounting criticism after dismissing urgent demands to increase military funding, while the PM heads to a crisis summit in Paris to address escalating tensions in Europe and a looming confrontation with Trump.

Trump’s VP asserts that free speech in Britain is at risk, highlighting concerns over laws that could erode fundamental liberties.
