Summary

Sir Keir Starmer is said to be "weighing up his options" ahead of a crucial cabinet meeting this morning, after some of his top team told him to consider setting out a timeline for his resignation. Green Party leader Zack Polanski is also in hot water, although less than the PM of course, after admitting he may have failed to pay council tax while living on a houseboat in London. Donald Trump has said the ceasefire with Iran is "on life support" and claimed Tehran went back on an agreement to give up its nuclear material. Meanwhile a posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre - a Jeffrey Epstein victim who accused former prince Andrew of sexual abuse - has won the top prize at this year's British Book Awards. Finally, fans of Wordle are in luck, as the online game will be turned into a TV show. Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
