08.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Andrew Won His Search Warrants Challenge
⌨
Overnight coverage still lingered on Badenoch's conference pledge to scrap inheritance tax and Reform's self-clearing donations inquiry, branded a whitewash.
Attention shifted to a diplomatic row as Israel closed the British consulate in Jerusalem in response to sanctions, with Miliband insisting it would remain open as a UK mission and later reports of British diplomats withdrawing.
Domestic courts then dominated: a Royal Navy sailor appeared in court accused of preparing to pass secrets to Russia, an inquest ruled three sisters found off Brighton died in a suicide pact linked to their mother's death, and judges found searches of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's homes unlawful though seized material was retained and the investigation continued.
By evening focus turned to polling in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, framed as a close Labour-Green contest with both sides awaiting the result.
