Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:02:08 GMT

LONDON — Keir Starmer revamped his Labour frontbench Monday — and not everyone’s thrilled.As the U.K. opposition leader prepares for a general election next year, Starmer chose to promote key figures from his party’s right flank, demoting one-time leadership rival Lisa Nandy and a host of other figures from the party’s so-called “soft left” faction. “I’m really pleased that having put in the hard yards to change the Labour Party, we now have such a strong team on the pitch that is ready to deliver the change our country desperately needs,” Starmer declared as the dust settled.But a spokesperson for the left-wing Labour campaign group Momentum offered up another take, berating the “promotion of a narrow band of Blairites unwilling to offer the decisive change the country is crying out for.”With polls suggesting Labour is on course to form the next British government, here’s POLITICO’s guide to the reshuffle winners and...

We are ready to return to it as soon as the commitments towards us are fulfilled,” Putin said. However, at the same time, he claimed that the West “deceived us at the expense of humanitarian goals” in the implementation of the grain deal.Russia, he added, will supply 1 million tons of discounted grain for processing in Turkey and then to be shipped on to poorer nations for free.Erdogan, meanwhile, said that there was no alternative to the now-defunct deal and said he had p...
