- The News Agents’ Jon Sopel joins Shelagh Fogarty to discuss the latest row engulfing Reform UK after comments from the party’s home affairs spokesman, Zia Yusuf, about former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said Yusuf went “over the top” in his criticism of Wallace, a former soldier who served in Northern Ireland.
The row erupted after Wallace criticised Reform’s new proposal to deport all foreign nationals held in British prisons to countries including El Salvador.
Responding on X, Yusuf described Wallace as a “moron” and questioned how he had ever been Defence Secretary, saying Reform’s policy was a direct response to the previous government’s failures.
Jon and Shelagh also discuss Reform’s performance in the polls and whether the party is trying to import American-style politics into Britain.

- Andy Burnham has called for a national crackdown on shoplifting as he unveiled plans to revive the UK's high streets.
The Prime Minister set out plans on Tuesday to curb prolific shoplifting, insisting it was "wrong" for police forces to deprioritise the offence.
It comes after Mr Burnham outlined plans to hand more power to local councils in a bid to save Britain’s “hollowed-out high streets”, with provisional proposals including blocking new bookmakers and vape shops.
“I don't consider shoplifting to be a small thing," Mr Burnham told LBC, as he urged police forces around the country to take a "strong line" against thefts.
He also said he supported the 'broken window theory' of policing.
"I actually subscribe to what people would call the broken window theory of policing. If you let some things go, you're actually creating the conditions for a lot more to then follow in behind.

It comes as the PM said he was “increasingly confident” that work to increase space in the prison system will be successful.
Burnham told his new justice secretary to find a solution to keep PC Andrew Harper's killers behind bars in time for Parliament returning in September amid a growing backlash from the victim's family and police.

UEFA confirmed on Saturday a “departure payment” was made to a female employee alleged to have been in a relationship with Infantino when he was the European organisation’s general secretary.

What started as a plagiarism row has escalated into a full-blown saga, as fantastical claims made by Cambridge's youngest black professor came under scrutiny. James Hanson runs you through the story.
The University of Cambridge has confirmed it will continue investigating a professor who resigned amid a plagiarism row, adding that findings will feed into a review of the process for appointing senior academic roles.
Professor Jason Arday quit his high-profile role at the prestigious university on Wednesday after it launched a probe into his “academic qualifications and honorary appointments”.
Senior dons at Cambridge are understood to be circulating a letter calling for an inquiry into the processes around his appointment, according to the Guardian.
Prof Arday’s resignation followed a series of media reports alleging he plagiarised his PhD thesis – completed...

- Campaigners have branded the proposed installation of twenty-seven giant space radars in Pembrokeshire “an instrument of evil”, claiming it would seriously impact the health, environment, and safety of the local community.
A planning decision on the DARC - Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability - project was due to take place last week, but the Welsh Government called in the decision days before the vote - in a move that could trigger a row with Westminster over the UK’s national security.
Opponents of the radar have hailed it as a small victory in the battle against the Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) plans, as the newly elected Plaid Cymru government has been openly resistant to it.

- Cambridge academics are demanding an independent inquiry into the appointment of Jason Arday as a professor after he resigned from the post amid accusations of plagiarism and embellishing his achievements.
00:00 Caller Jo, whose father was forced to resign from his position at Deakin University in Australia after faking results of contraceptive pill experiments, explains to James O'Brien why Jason Arday may have done it.
11:29 Caller Hind, an academic who knows Jason Arday, says the Cambridge professor's speeches were so inspiring that she finds it hard to believe he could have ‘exaggerated’ his credentials.

- Simon Levy, 40, preyed on women across London in a seven-year campaign, and was allowed to commit his second murder while he remained a suspect in his first.
British Transport Police had twice asked a magistrates’ court to remand Levy in custody, after he’d been charged, but he was allowed to walk the streets as he awaited a trial date.
At the time of the attack, Levy was under investigation by British Transport Police, having been arrested and released on bail, for three sexual assaults on the Central Line of London’s Underground three months earlier.
He was convicted of those attacks, alongside eight others earlier this year, but the details couldn’t previously be reported.
