Keir Starmer devastated after Air India flight crashes with 53 British nationals onboard
Sir Keir Starmer said he is 'devastated" following the deadly Air India crash which claimed the lives of almost 300 people, including 52 British nationals.
On Thursday (12 June), a Boeing 787 Dreamliner left the runway at Ahmedabad airport with 240 onboard, before quickly plunging to the ground and exploding into a deadly fireball.
Speaking from 10 Downing Street, the prime minister said: 'The images and news from India is absolutely devastating, and I speak for the entire country in saying our thoughts are with each and every one of those involved.'
"There will be British and Indian families across the land who are absolutely impacted by this,' he said, before confirming an investigation team has been deployed.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, is the sole survivor of the disaster and is currently being treated in hospital.

Starmer's deal with Trump spells disaster for farmers, leaked memo warns
British farmers are facing disaster because of Sir Keir Starmer's trade deal with Donald Trump, a leaked memo has claimed. Last month's agreement will slash tariffs on US exports of ethanol, a grain-based chemical used to make green fuel. Industry leaders fear this will lead to the collapse of a key domestic market, and risk pushing profitable farms into making a loss. Under the deal struck by Sir Keir, which has not yet come into force, the US will be able to supply Britain with some 1.4 billion litres of duty-free ethanol. Vivergo Fuels runs the UK's largest bioethanol plant at Saltend in East Yorkshire, but is warning that the site will have to close unless the Government intervenes. A closure would represent a fresh blow to thousands of farmers who supply grain to the site. It follows a tax raid on the industry in last year's Budget. Reforms to inheritance tax that will come into force next April are expected to cause family businesses to slash investment and jobs, leading to a broader slowdown in the economy. Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, also slashed the funding for a scheme to support farmers in this week's spending review. In an internal document on Sir Keir's deal, seen by The Telegraph, Vivergo said: 'The recent UK-US trade agreement has eliminated tariffs on 1.4 billion litres of US ethanol – equivalent to total UK demand. 'This has rendered domestic production economically unviable, placing the UK bioethanol plants at immediate risk of closure. 'The knock-on effects for UK farming, especially arable farmers supplying feed wheat, are severe and systemic.' Vivergo has bought wheat for bioethanol production from more than 12,000 farms, with a particular focus on those across Hull and Yorkshire. The memo warned that losing this domestic market would remove a 'critical pillar' of rural economies at the expense of employment and investment confidence. 'Without intervention, farmers will face a 'double hit' of reduced prices and lost access to value-added supply chains (e.g. animal feed by-products and CO2 sales).' Vivergo added that the closure of its Saltend plant, which produces up to 420 million litres of bioethanol a year, was inevitable without 'immediate' support from the Government. It continued: 'This [would be] particularly damaging for wheat not suitable for milling, which has few domestic buyers beyond bioethanol plants. 'This is likely to depress the price of wheat nationally, and would force growers to export surplus wheat into oversupplied global markets at reduced prices. Farms may go from a profit to loss position as a direct result.' Supply crisis It is estimated that investment from Vivergo supports about 1,220 farming jobs across the north east of England. The UK currently imports just under half (around 45 per cent) of its CO2. Without a domestic bioethanol industry, sources fear a supply crisis if foreign sources were to be disrupted. The memo concluded: 'The bioethanol sector is not only a key customer for UK feed wheat, but also a critical component of national energy security, food resilience, and rural economic stability. 'Without rapid intervention, the closure of Vivergo would damage farm incomes, increase import dependency, and undermine the government's strategic goals across multiple departments.' Last month, the National Farmers' Union (NFU) said the 'significant' amount of bioethanol included in Sir Keir's deal with the White House was a cause for concern among its members. There is currently domestic demand for up to 2 million tonnes of biofuel per year, and the NFU warned that the British agricultural sector must not be expected to 'shoulder the heavy burden' of tariffs being removed elsewhere. A Government spokesman said: 'We signed a deal with the US in the national interest to secure thousands of jobs across key sectors. 'The Business and Transport Secretaries met with representatives from the bioethanol industry this week and we continue to work closely with them to understand the impacts of the UK-US trade deal.'

Corbyn says police ‘picked on him to silence democratic rights' as case dropped
The former Labour leader and John McDonnell were called for interview after a pro-Palestine protest in London earlier this year. Mr McDonnell revealed in the Commons that police had dropped their investigation into the pair, but said the Metropolitan Police had originally tried to charge them because MPs were held to have 'a greater culpability'. Nine people face no further action after a demonstration on January 18, according to the Met, which has told the PA news agency it will not confirm whether either politician was involved. Raising a point of order, Mr McDonnell told the Commons: 'You may be aware that (Mr Corbyn) and I were called for interview by the Metropolitan Police following our participation in a demonstration in January calling for peace and justice for the Palestinian people and an end to the genocide in Gaza. 'It was alleged that we failed to follow police restrictions on the protest. This is untrue, and at all times we followed police instructions. 'We can now report that the police have dropped the case against us and there will be no charges.' Mr McDonnell alleged that 'the Metropolitan Police informed us that our case was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) because as MPs we were to be held to have, and I quote, 'a greater culpability'.' The independent MP for Hayes and Harlington, who was once Mr Corbyn's shadow chancellor, added: 'This is an unacceptable practice which flies in the face of the principle that we are all equal before the law.' Mr Corbyn, now the independent MP for Islington North, said: 'I don't intend to let it rest just there.' He told MPs: 'If there are elements in the police and possibly in the Crown Prosecution Service who want Members of Parliament to be held to a different standard of account than the general public, that removes us from the normality of law in this country. 'And I think that would be a very, very bad step indeed.' He later added: 'We have to all – all of us – have the right to take part in public protest about human rights abuse, about war, about peace, about anything else. That is what democracy is about. 'And I saw this whole effort as being a means to try and silence the democratic rights of everybody in our society by picking on us two as Members of Parliament, and I'm grateful for the decision that's been made today.' Father of the House Sir Edward Leigh said he had 'not often taken part in demos in central London' but spoke to 'show that opinion in this House of Commons is absolutely united'. 'We've always proclaimed what is very much the British way that Members of Parliament are no different from any other member of the public,' the Conservative MP for Gainsborough said. 'If they do wrong, they will be held to account, but they should not be subject to some greater test of culpability just because they're Members of Parliament.' A Met Police spokesperson said: 'No further action will be taken against nine people who were interviewed as part of an investigation into alleged breaches of Public Order Act conditions during a protest on Saturday January 18. 'The decision in two cases was taken following a review of the evidence by the Crown Prosecution Service, while the remaining seven cases were decided on by police officers. 'While we are aware of names being attributed to those who were the subject of our investigation, we will not be confirming their identities given that matters did not result in any charges.' Two individuals have been charged with breaching the same conditions as well as inciting others to do so, according to the force, with a further two individuals still under investigation.
