Deputy PM: China responsible for UK cyber interference
Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden has confirmed that Chinese state-affiliated actors were responsible for “two malicious cyber campaigns targeting both our democratic institutions and parliamentarians,” in 2021 and 2022.
Mr Dowden told MPs a number of the UK's allies, including the United States, will be issuing similar statements to "expose this activity and to hold China to account for the ongoing patterns of hostile activity targeting our collective democracies".

Deputy prime minister Oliver Dowden said earlier today that Moscow allegedly use Facebook pages to grow support for Reform UK adding that "it's a classic example from the Russian playbook" and warning that Kremlin's interference in the general election is "gravely concerning". Responding to these comments, the Reform UK leader calls it a "Russian hoax" saying "how dare he" claiming that the Conservatives "have taken millions of pounds of Russian money over the last few years from their donors".

Gareth Southgate has resigned as manager of the England men’s national football team after almost eight years at the helm. It comes just two days after England’s defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024. Despite that disappointment, Southgate has taken the Three Lions to two European Championship finals and a World Cup semi-final during his time in charge. Prince William, President of the Football Association (FA), tweeted his thanks to Southgate for his leadership. The FA says the process to appoint Southgate’s successor has begun, and they aim to have a new manager confirmed as soon as possible. Report by Jonesia.
