09.09.2026 ⇢ The day the Met launched a criminal probe into Reform UK
⌨
The sanctions row carried over from the previous day, with Foreign Secretary Miliband calling Israel's retaliation deeply regrettable and insisting Britain had to call out West Bank settlements before it was too late. At PMQs Prime Minister Burnham said Britain had shown leadership, dismissed criticism including from the Chief Rabbi, as Netanyahu hit back and Washington called the move irrational.
Air traffic disruption entered a second day, with hundreds more cancellations at Heathrow and Gatwick, passengers stranded overnight and on tarmacs, officials ruling out a cyber attack and warning disruption could last until the weekend with compensation unlikely.
By afternoon attention shifted to Reform UK, after Channel 4 undercover filming prompted the Metropolitan Police to open a criminal investigation into alleged solicitation of a foreign donor for polling and a £500,000 donation. At PMQs Burnham also said he would not cut welfare to fund higher defence spending.
