Cabinet minister Darren Jones says he has “every confidence” that Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment as UK ambassador to the US will be approved by Donald Trump's team. There were reports in a number of newspapers on Sunday that the Trump administration could be considering not granting approval to Lord Mandelson's new position. The chief secretary to the Treasury also distances the government from comments made by Sir Sadiq Khan where the Mayor of London warned over 'resurgent fascism' ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

The chief secretary to the Treasury has hailed an unexpected dip in inflation, but admits that the cost of living "is still a pressure for families across the country and there's more work to do". Darren Jones adds the latest Office for National Statistics figures, "shows that the prime minister's plan for change is working". Inflation has fallen to 2.5% in December from 2.6% in November, which will come as a relief to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who has faced criticism given rising government borrowing costs and a slump in the value of the pound. The latest figures could open the door for an interest rate cut next month. Report by Brooksl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
Darren Jones says Tulip Siddiq's resignation from the government can be seen as a "clear success" for Sir Keir Starmer, as it shows the prime minister's new independent process for investigating ministerial conduct "has worked". The chief secretary to the Treasury adds Siddiq "was a good minister doing a great job", but that she accepted her wider family had become a "distraction" for the government. Siddiq resigned as Treasury minister over an anti-corruption investigation into her wider family in Bangladesh. Report by Brooksl.

As tensions escalate in Ukraine, the UK and France have unveiled a bold plan to deploy up to 30,000 peacekeepers in the war-torn country, contingent on a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The proposed peacekeeping force would primarily consist of British and French troops, tasked with safeguarding key infrastructure and monitoring ceasefire compliance using drones and satellite surveillance. However, the plan hinges on securing crucial support from U.S. President Donald Trump, whose backing is seen as essential for the mission's success. While the U.S. has ruled out sending troops, European officials have emphasized that without Trump's approval, the peacekeeper deployment faces significant challenges. Russian officials, led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, have vehemently opposed any foreign military presence in Ukraine, warning that it would be viewed as a legitimate target.

In a recent statement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed confidence that a peace deal to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is "pretty close." As the war enters its fourth year, Leavitt emphasized that the Trump administration is committed to resolving the crisis swiftly. She indicated that significant diplomatic efforts are underway, with President Trump pushing for a resolution in the near future. Leavitt also noted that National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is working around the clock to finalize the deal, while high-level talks between U.S. and Russian diplomats are reportedly making progress. Despite the ongoing tension, Leavitt’s comments suggest optimism that a breakthrough could be imminent. However, specifics on the potential peace agreement, including key details like Russia's demands for Ukraine’s neutrality and demilitarization, remain under wraps.
