- Zack Polanski said recent Green Party election wins had “changed this country” over the course of a “wild” year, as he made his party conference speech in Brighton.
The Greens leader reflected on results, including “the first Green breakthrough on the Senedd” in Cardiff Bay, “and a little small matter of our first ever win at a Westminster by-election” in Gorton and Denton, which was won by Hannah Spencer.
Mr Polanski said: “Every corner of this country, Greens elected – cities, towns, villages, more knocks on doors, leaflets on mats, crosses next to our names.

- Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and Richard Tice, MP for Boston and Skegness delivered speeches yesterday (October 1) at the party's '100 Days To Save Britain' rally in Doncaster.
Nigel Farage says Andy Burnham has “opened the door to Reform in the most extraordinary way” after the Prime Minister reignited the Brexit debate.
The Reform UK leader said Mr Burnham “has made a very big political mistake” by promising to look at options for Britain’s future relationship with the European Union.
Ahead of a speech in Doncaster on Thursday, Mr Farage – a key proponent of Brexit ahead of the 2016 referendum – said the Labour leader’s positions on Brussels and devolution were at odds.

- France’s prime minister convened a crisis meeting on Thursday and cancelled ministers’ trips to focus on the nationwide spread of protests, some violent, by high school students venting against under-resourced schools, long hours and other complaints.
The demonstrations erupted in Paris-region schools last week and have snowballed, with police making hundreds of arrests in clashes with the young protesters.
Authorities have reported many dozens of injuries, including from hurled objects but also, in some suspected cases, from police riot-control projectiles.
The protests are quickly blowing up as a hot topic in the election campaign to replace President Emmanuel Macron next May, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a third consecutive term, and heightening pressure on the government also beset by France’s growing financial problems.

The Mirror reports the flight then issued an emergency hijacking code this morning. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said one of the pilots “stabbed the other pilot and apparently tried to crash the plane”.
Israeli Defence Minster Israel Katz claimed it was an "attempted jihadist terror attack". The accused pilot is thought to be from Oman, with the colleague who was stabbed from the UAE.
Passengers rushed the cockpit while two more pilots, on board as they were scheduled for a subsequent flight from Tel Aviv, apparently helped and landed the plane. One of those pilots is thought to be British.

Dozens of villagers living near RAF Fairford were dramatically evacuated from their homes on Sunday morning (27 September) after a farmer alerted police and warned neighbours when she spotted several men “hanging around” on a rural lane close to the US-used airbase.
The woman, described as a “hero farmer”, called 999 and used WhatsApp to alert people in the surrounding area after discovering three vans blocking a road near the Gloucestershire base.

Part of that included claiming they have 'irrefutable evidence' proving they are not in breach with that almost certainly to be introduced at an appeal hearing, with the club having until October 2nd to confirm the start of that process.
The independent commission found that City "arranged sham" contracts to inflate their revenue and bring down costs with disguised sponsorship funding amounting to £830.69million, which would have seen City break the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.

The Home Secretary said the Government can “unlock the inherent generosity of this country” by providing safe and legal refugee routes.
Speaking at the Labour party conference in Liverpool, she said her migration reforms will “come to a position that balances fairness”.
The UK resettlement scheme will reopen immediately, with around a quarter of those admitted to the UK under it expected to be Palestinians and women and girls from Afghanistan.
It marks a shift after the closure of the Afghan resettlement route last year.
Hundreds are expected to come to Britain under the scheme and three community sponsorship routes at first, growing to the “low thousands” as levels of illegal migration fall, and with a cap set each year.

"I'm surprised that they released them. I wouldn't have done that," Trump said in the Oval Office. "We would not have released them."
A U.K.-owned base, RAF Fairford has been used by American bombers during decades of conflicts in the Middle East, including this year’s war with Iran.
The men were released Monday, and counterterror detectives said they were investigating “multiple lines of inquiry,” including whether there were a link to Iran.

- Counter-terrorism investigators are examining whether Iran orchestrated a suspected car-bomb conspiracy targeting an RAF base
Armed police detained five individuals, observed travelling in three vehicles, following an apparent alert from a courageous member of the public.
However, President Donald Trump cautioned the suspected plotters intended to inflict "big damage", stating they had been "under investigation" for "a long time".
Scotland Yard and MI5, working alongside American intelligence operatives, were yesterday evening attempting to establish whether Tehran masterminded the plot to murder American personnel stationed at RAF Fairford. Iran's Revolutionary Guards declared in July it would not permit US bombers to operate from Fairford, stating any base used to launch strikes would be a legitimate target.

- Manchester City are awaiting a punishment from the Premier League after being found guilty in their long-running battle over alleged financial breaches, throwing the club and English football into crisis.
City are expected to appeal the bombshell verdict by an independent panel, which ruled that the club misrepresented their finances over a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018. The Premier League levelled over 115 charges at City in February 2023 for various breaches of Financial Fair Play and associated rules, with the panel understood to have sided with almost all of their arguments.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has spoken about the verdict. He has urged fans not to 'jump to conclusions' and has insisted that he would like to read the report of the independent commission.

- A total of 781 people crossed the English Channel in 10 small boats yesterday, setting a new record for the highest number of arrivals in a single day so far in 2026. The figure surpasses the previous record of 752 people, recorded on 29 July, when they arrived in nine boats.
Despite the new daily record, overall small boat crossings are down by around 45% compared with the same point last year. So far this year, 18,565 people have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel in small boats, including 6,096 since Andy Burnham became prime minister in July.
The latest figures come after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood ordered an “urgent review” following two undetected migrant boat arrivals in two days. A dinghy reached the shore at Folkestone on Monday morning, marking the first undetected arrival for more than a year, followed by another boat reaching Dover undetected on Tuesday afternoon.

- Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine will make it a "painful" winter for Vladimir Putin as he echoed Donald Trump's claim that Russia had "lost control" of its oil industry.
The Ukrainian leader used a speech at the United Nations in New York to call on countries to choke Russia’s revenues and impede its war efforts, claiming that Putin is the only person who wants the conflict.
He said that Russia will try to make this winter "very harsh" for Ukraine, but added that it will also be tough for them, with major disruption having been caused to energy supplies from drone attacks.
Ukraine has taken the attack to Russia in recent months by targeting fuel facilities deep inside the country. Zelensky said that nobody inside the Putin regime would have expected that the winter now could be used as a weapon against them.
"We will make that happen this winter," Ukraine's president told the UN General Assembly. "If Russia continues to target our e...
