12.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Burnham Told MPs Closer EU Ties Were His Duty
⌨
Overnight editors picked up Trump's claimed energy ceasefire in Ukraine as Russian strikes continued, with the BBC reporting power outages and Zelensky saying a power plant was hit immediately after the announcement. Lavrov said Ukraine did not deserve respite, while Zelensky first offered conditional support then cited six energy sites hit as Putin's answer and vowed retaliation.
By midday domestic attention turned to Prime Minister Burnham's EU intervention. The Telegraph carried live his argument to MPs that pursuing closer ties was his duty, echoed by Sadiq Khan. Coverage centred on his refusal to rule out rejoining without a referendum and his claim Russian interference swayed the Brexit vote. No 10 backtracked through the day, with Boris Johnson accusing him of lying and critics calling it a conspiracy theory.
