Summary
The Duran: Episode 2548 Keir Starmer is racing to finish his final agenda before an expected exit, and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down why that includes a sweeping social media age ban requiring biometric identification for every UK citizen, not just teenagers. The Duran digs into the real story behind enriched uranium shipments to Ukraine, G7 pressure to slash domestic budgets for defense spending, and why Andy Burnham's likely rise to Prime Minister won't change Britain's underlying trajectory.
