27.05.2026 โข The day Blair attacked Starmer
โจ
Tony Blair's 5,000-word essay condemning Keir Starmer's leadership dominated the day's headlines, with multiple outlets covering his claim that Labour's leftward shift is relegating Britain and that ousting Starmer would not fix the party. The story evolved from early morning reports of a 'furious attack' to detailed analysis of Blair's 'radical centre' prescription, sparking backlash from Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and warnings of a Labour civil war. The US-Iran conflict continued to develop, with Israel launching over 120 airstrikes on Lebanon and killing a senior Hamas leader in Gaza, while Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of peace talks. Energy bills were projected to rise 13% due to the conflict. A large fire at a Kosher supermarket in Golders Green drew attention, as did the ongoing heatwave, which saw multiple drowning deaths and calls for zero tolerance on violence.
