UK correspondent Dan Bloom looks at the political turbulence for Sir Keir Starmer over his government's plans to push ahead with cuts to benefits for disabled people, despite opposition from nearly a quarter of his own MPs. The UK is to by 12 dual-use F-35 fighter jets that can carry conventional and nuclear weapons. The move gives the UK the ability to carry airborne nuclear warheads for the first time since the 1990s.
