Strait of Hormuz Security: The UK says it will join a multinational mission to protect the Strait of Hormuz, sending autonomous mine-hunting drones, counter-drone systems, Typhoon jets and the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Dragon, backed by £115m in new funding after a virtual defence summit with 40+ countries. Middle East Pressure: The move lands amid fresh Iran–US tensions, with the strait still a flashpoint for global shipping and energy. Labour Leadership Crisis: At home, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has again refused to quit despite a wave of resignations and growing calls for a timetable after local election setbacks. Tech & Media: TikTok is rolling out a £3.99 ad-free subscription in the UK, while Rakuten TV is switching to independent audience measurement via Barb. Health & Safety: UKHSA has ordered precautionary isolation for people linked to the hantavirus cruise ship outbreak, including remote-island contacts. Culture & Royals: A new book, “The Crown’s Silence,” reignites debate over the monarchy’s historical ties to slavery.
