06.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Crown Jewels Were Vandalized
⌨
UK media opened the day with continued coverage of internal Labour party tensions, with reports emerging of a pact for No 10 between Wes Streeting and Angela Rayner, which Rayner subsequently denied. Concurrently, allegations surfaced that Nigel Farage sang antisemitic songs to Jewish classmates.
Later in the morning and into the afternoon, the focus shifted to a major domestic incident: activists vandalized the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London with 'crumble and custard,' leading to arrests and the closure of the site. Separately, international coverage noted progress in US-Ukraine peace talks despite continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Towards the evening, Labour's largest union backer reportedly considered a split from the party over anger at Starmer's leadership.
