24.01.2026 โข The Day of the Burnham Westminster Bid
โจMorning editorial priority was defined by the fallout of President Trumpโs disparagement of NATO troops, which forced Keir Starmer to pull the Chagos Islands bill following US pressure. This diplomatic friction shifted by early afternoon as attention turned to the Abu Dhabi peace talks, where Russian strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv underscored the fragility of negotiations.
By late afternoon, a domestic political crisis eclipsed international news as Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham confirmed his bid for a Westminster seat in the Gorton & Denton by-election. Editors across the spectrum framed this as a direct challenge to Starmerโs leadership, noting a potential Labour civil war.
The evening headlines were dominated by a violent escalation in Minneapolis, where federal agents fatally shot a US citizen during anti-deportation protests. Simultaneously, the media tracked a tactical retreat by President Trump, who issued a statement praising British soldiers as "greatest of all warriors" to quell the military backlash.
