Morning coverage initially focused on Hillary Clinton's testimony in the Epstein investigation, where she denied knowledge of crimes and confirmed Republican questioning about UFOs and Pizzagate.

Evening reports confirmed the Green Party's historic victory, framing it as a major crisis for Labour leader Keir Starmer as Labour finished third behind Reform, with Starmer refusing to resign despite internal criticism.
