25.06.2026 ⇢ The day Venezuela's earthquake toll mounted
⌨
The day was dominated by the aftermath of back-to-back earthquakes in Venezuela, with the death toll rising from 32 to 188 and thousands reported missing. BBC, Independent, and Guardian led with casualty updates, while Channel 4 and Metro highlighted fears of thousands dead. The UK heatwave intensified, breaking the June record twice (36.7°C), triggering a hosepipe ban, a Peak District wildfire, and infrastructure strain. Political coverage focused on Andy Burnham's Labour leadership bid, with Trump and Farage attacking him, and the New Statesman urging 'normie populism'. The Royal Family's decision to never live at Buckingham Palace emerged late.
