16.09.2025 โข The day of Trump's arrival and Starmer's Mandelson fallout
โจUK media on September 16 began with continued scrutiny of Starmer, as a key aide resigned over Diane Abbott and his admission regarding Epstein emails, further intensifying Labour's internal unrest. Concurrently, reports emerged of a failed first attempt at migrant deportations to France. By late morning, the UN commission's declaration that Israel committed genocide in Gaza became a prominent story, alongside initial reports of Israel's escalating bombardment and ground offensive in Gaza City. In the afternoon, the death of actor Robert Redford garnered significant attention. As the day progressed, focus shifted heavily to Donald Trump's arrival for his second state visit, with extensive coverage of his security detail, anticipated trade talks, and protests. Efforts to deport migrants to France continued to face legal challenges, with multiple flights departing without migrants.
