Answering a question from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, the prime minister says the minerals deal between the US and Ukraine is "not enough" of a security guarantee on its own. Sir Keir Starmer goes on to say, “can I just remind him, Russia is the aggressor, Zelensky is a war leader, whose country has been invaded, and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin”.

Train fares in England and Wales have risen by around 4.6%, with railcards also becoming more expensive. The increase will see many commuters paying hundreds of pounds more per year for travel. The price rises come as several operators suffer from industrial disputes and staffing shortages, resulting in poor performance. Report by Jonesia.

Sir Keir Starmer makes a statement to a packed House of Commons on the situation in Ukraine, after meeting Donald Trump on Thursday and European leaders on Sunday. The prime minister says the UK must strengthen its relationship with the US but will "never choose between either side of the Atlantic". Sir Keir also tells MPs, “we stand by Ukraine because it's the right thing to do, but we also stand by them because it's in our interest to do so". Report by Blairm.
