‘He Has The Numbers’: Wes Streeting Allies Insist He Will Run In Labour Leadership Contest

Wes Streeting will definitely run in the upcoming Labour leadership contest, his allies have told HuffPost UK.

It is the first confirmation that he plans to mount a bid to replace Keir Starmer as prime minister.

Supporters of Starmer have claimed that the former health secretary – who resigned with a ferocious attack on the prime minister yesterday – does not have enough support from Labour MPs to mount a challenge.

Under Labour Party rules, any candidate must have the support of at least 20% of its MPs to make it onto the ballot paper. At the moment, that is 81 MPs.

Starmer allies have claimed that Streeting currently only has 43 names, leaving him well short of the number required.

They said that was why he did not formally trigger a contest when he quit the cabinet, as had been expected.

But a source close to Streeting told HuffPost UK: “He has the numbers and will be a candidate when there’s a contest.”

In his resignation letter, Streeting stopped short of saying he would challenge the PM.

But he said: “It is now clear that you will not lead the Labour Party into the next general election and that Labour MPs and Labour unions want the debate about what comes next to be a battle of ideas, not of personalities or petty factionalism.

“It needs to be broad, and it needs the best possible field of candidates. I support that approach and I hope that you will facilitate this.”

A leadership contest appears inevitable, despite Starmer insisting he “won’t walk away” from No.10.

Cabinet ministers, including home secretary Shabana Mahmood and foreign secretary Yvette Cooper, have personally told the PM to set out a timetable for his departure.

More than 90 Labour MPs have so far publicly called on him to quit, while four junior ministers have also resigned from the government.

Andy Burnham kicked off his own attempt to be the next PM when it was announced that Labour MP Josh Simons is standing down to let the Greater Manchester mayor stand in his Makerfield seat.

Labour’s ruling national executive committee (NEC) is not expected to block Burnham’s bid to be the party’s candidate in the resulting by-election.

However, he faces a huge challenge to see off Reform UK and be elected the new MP for the constituency.

If Burnham wins, he is expected to immediately challenge Starmer, triggering a full leadership contest.

Others who could throw their hats into the ring include former deputy PM Angela Rayner, defence secretary John Healey, energy secretary Ed Miliband, Mahmood, Cooper and junior defence minister Al Carns

TUI Issues Jet Fuel And Price Hike Update For Summer Fliers

Posted on by
Reply

If you’ve booked a 2026 holiday, chances are you’ve heard the words “jet fuel price hikes” more than you’d like.

Following the closure of the key oil and fuel shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, jet fuel costs have reportedly doubled.

That’s led some airlines to cancel flights, while others are running fewer flights overall. Still, the UK government’s site says “UK airlines say that they are not currently seeing a shortage of jet fuel,” as of the time of writing.

If that sounds a little conflicting, we’ve created a list of everything airlines like Ryanair, easyJet, British Airways, and Jet2 have said so far on the topic.

And recently, TUI provided an update for passengers.

What is TUI’s recent jet fuel update?

Speaking to The Independent on May 13, the CFO of TUI Group, Mathias Kiep, said: “I’m very much convinced that we will see no shortage in the next 10 weeks. There’s definitely enough fuel.

“We think that the discussion on fuel is a little bit artificial, as we do see no shortages for the next few weeks.” He also told the publication that he didn’t expect shortages even if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.

This is in line with other airline bosses, like Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary.

The controversial CEO recently told Reuters, “We think the risk of a supply disruption is receding… A month ago, we were saying we’re all fine until the end of May. The fuel companies are now saying they’re seeing no supply disruption risk until the end of June.”

And speaking to Fortune on 14 May, Greg Raiff, the CEO of private jet services company Elevate Jet, went so far as to call reports of jet fuel shortages a “myth”.

Will TUI charge more for their holidays after the jet fuel price hike?

Some companies have begun adding surcharges to flights as a way to battle the rising cost of fuel.

The company had previously told customers their “holiday price is fixed, with no fuel surcharges added by TUI”.

But in his most recent update, Kiep said: “I would also see no impact in the summer at all except prices – and for the higher prices, we are luckily hedged.

“We do see that Europe now gets more oil from other countries like Nigeria because the increased prices made the production there profitable. We see that consumption is significantly lower than a year before, and refinery capacity is also up.”

UK Eurovision Act Claims BBC Gave Him ‘Stress Test’ To Prepare Him For Contest

Eurovision star Look Mum No Computer has shared that the BBC took measures to make sure he’d be able to cope with the “pressure” of the contest.

Look Mum No Computer – the stage name of musician and YouTuber Sam Battle – is representing the UK at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest this weekend with his original song Eins, Zwei, Drei.

Given how the UK has fared at the competition in recent years, it’s fair to say that picking up that mantle is not for the faint of heart, and in a new interview with BBC News, the performer opened up about how bosses wanted to make sure he was up to the challenge.

“They gave me a stress test [to see] whether I could deal under pressure,” he explained, with the BBC describing him as flashing a nervous “should-I-be-saying-this” glance towards his press team as he made the revelation.

“It’s nothing, really,” he added. “Just making sure that you don’t get too nervous and things like that.”

HuffPost UK has contacted the BBC for additional comment.

Past UK Eurovision acts have made no secret of the intense toll that the scrutiny and attention associated with the contest can bring.

Back in 2025, Olly Alexander claimed that his number one advice to the UK’s next Eurovision entrant would be to “get yourself a really good therapist because you’ll have a lot to talk about – for years!”.

Meanwhile, Look Mum No Computer isn’t the only Eurovision performer whose delegation took measures to prepare them for the contest.

Earlier this week, Israeli representative Noam Bettan claimed that, like his recent predecessors, he rehearsed while being booed to prepare for any disruptions that might occur during his performance.

“I had a few people in my crew trying to make it hard for me, to practise for this moment,” Noam told the BBC earlier this week. “But you can’t really prepare for this.”

During Noam’s semi-final performance on Tuesday night, pro-Palestine chants could be heard coming from the audience, with Eurovision later confirming that audience members had been removed for causing disruption.

Jet2 Says Power Banks Without A Key Sign Are ‘Forbidden’ On Board

Posted on by

Passengers hoping to bring their “smart bags”, which have chargers in them, might be disappointed: those “with non-removable batteries above 2.7Wh are not permitted onboard,” sites like Ryanair advise.

That’s because they contain lithium batteries, which power banks also have.

These can sometimes short-circuit and are generally not permitted in the hold as they can catch fire.

And on their site, Jet2 said that they ban “lithium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries and power banks that don’t clearly state” an important rating.

Power banks need to show their watt/hour rating

Those that don’t include the “watt-hour rating or lithium metal content, or where the watt-hour rating cannot easily be otherwise ascertained, are forbidden”.

A watt-hour rating is usually shortened to Wh. Power banks should have a rating “not exceeding 160Wh, providing they are individually protected against short circuit”, Jet2 said.

What if my power bank doesn’t have a Wh rating?

This doesn’t need to be on the power bank explicitly, as you can work it out from the milliampere-hour (mAh), ampere-hour (Ah), and/or nominal voltage (V).

Once you find these, the UK Civil Aviation Authority said: “You can arrive at the number of watt-hours your battery provides if you know the battery’s nominal voltage (V) and capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) using this calculation ― Ah x V = Wh.

“If only the milliampere hours (mAh) are marked on the battery, then divide that number by 1000 to get ampere-hours (Ah). For example, 4400 mAh / 1000 = 4.4 Ah.”

If none of these is available, though, your power bank might not pass muster.

Don’t bring more than two power banks with you, either

Those are only some of the rules the airline enforces.

Their rules include:

  • No more than two power banks per passenger,
  • Power banks should not exceed 160Wh,
  • Power banks can’t be charged whilst onboard the aircraft,
  • Power banks can’t be used on-flight,
  • Power banks have to be carried on-board in hand luggage and placed under your seat,
  • Power banks must not be used to charge or power any portable electronic devices during taxi, take off, and landing.

Jet2 is not the only airline to have some or all of these rules, so check with your airline before flying.

Danny Dyer’s Biggest Hope For Rivals Season 3 Is To ‘See His Top Lip Again’

Posted on by

Rivals is back for a new season with more bonking, more affairs and, of course, more moustaches.

Set in the fictional Rutshire in the hedonistic late 80s, the Jilly Cooper adaptation has turned some of British TV’s most popular actors into international sex symbols.

No one is more surprised by this than Danny Dyer, who plays the lovable Freddie Jones, especially because of his era-appropriate wig and moustache.

“I just want to see my top lip again,” he joked to the BBC of his facial hair, admitting he has to keep the moustache for around seven months of the year while he’s filming filming.

“My grandchildren only know me as a moustached man, and that depresses me slightly,” he added, referring to his daughter Dani Dyer’s three children, Santiago, Star and Summer.

Danny has one hope for his character in series three – that his character might move with the times and ditch his trademark tache.

“Obviously, we’re coming to the end of the 80s now, so if we go again, we’re sort of encroaching on the early 90s and hopefully this can come off,” he quipped.

Back in 2024, when Rivals first became a surprise hit, Danny opened up about some of the “backhanded” remarks he had received about his performance.

Speaking with his daughter Dani on their podcast Live and Let Dyers, the Mr Big Stuff actor said: “Some people were alluding to the fact that, you know, I’m the one that sort of come out of it, really, in a way, going, ‘Oh God, he’s a really good actor.’”

“I’m getting this backhanded [praise] from these big, broadsheets,” he continued. “Actually, there was a headline that went, ‘The biggest plot twist about Rivals is that Danny Dyer can act’. In a way, I’m going, ‘Oh thanks for the compliment’, at the same time going, ‘Well, fuck off’.”

Although it’s not yet been announced, Rivals fans should feel confident – thanks to the rave reviews that season two has received – that a third run is on the cords.

“We’ve already planned season three,” executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said recently on the red carpet for the second series. “It’s not officially greenlit yet, but the stories are all done.”

He added: “We’re ready to go.”

The first three episodes premiere on 15 May 2026, on Disney +, followed by one a week until 5 June. The second half of the season will premiere later in 2026.

What Teenagers Say Is Worrying Them The Most (And It’s Not Social Media)

Posted on by

I often think about how tough it must be to be a teenager right now. Between the pressures of school life and the inability to get away from it all thanks to the 24/7 nature of social media, it sounds pretty exhausting.

But what is it actually like? And what’s keeping the nation’s teenagers up at night? A 2025 survey by BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Bitesize shed some light.

The online poll of 2,000 kids aged 13-18 explored the issues shaping teenagers’ lives – from mental health and safety to the rise of AI.

What is the biggest worry for teens?

Getting kids to open up about what’s worrying them can be like drawing blood from a stone for plenty of parents. But the survey offered some insights into what teens worry about most.

Over two-thirds (69%) of all participants reported feeling anxious at least some of the time, with pressure around exams and grades being the biggest worry.

Its survey of 1,000 15- to 18-year-olds taking GCSE or A-Levels found 63% said it was hard to cope in the lead-up to, and during, these exams. Of these, 13% had suicidal thoughts and 13% self-harmed. More than half (56%) had trouble sleeping.

Among those struggling, 61% experienced anxiety and 40% worsening mental health, while 30% skipped meals and one in four (26%) had panic attacks.

The research also found exams were more than twice as likely to have a significant negative impact on mental health than social media.

May – which is when school exam season starts for most – is the peak season for children to call Childline about exam stress. Between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026; the free, confidential service for kids delivered 1,679 counselling sessions where exam or revision stress was mentioned.

The majority of concerns about exam stress were from children aged 12-18 years old, however younger students are also impacted, with 11% of contacts coming from children aged 11 and under.

One young person, aged 16, said: “If I’m not revising for exams, I feel this panic in my chest, but the panic also stops me focusing on the revision when I try and do it.”

Another 16-year-old girl said they have plans for their future, but have completely lost motivation to revise. “I have no idea why, my friends are trying to help get me back on track but I’m so overwhelmed,” they said.

What else did the BBC’s teen survey find?

It found 65% of teens feel overwhelmed at least some of the time and almost three-quarters (74%) of girls feel anxious at least some of the time.

Another eye-opening finding was just how much time teens are spending on their phones: more than a third (38%) spend five hours or more a day, while one in 20 spend eight hours or more.

When they are online, more than half reported having seen sexist and racist content. Two in five (44%) said they have seen extremely violent content.

In real life, 44% worry about knife crime in their local area and almost one third (30%) of teenage girls have experienced sexual harassment in school.

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly popular among the younger generation, with almost half (47%) using it to help with homework or coursework.

This is rising year-on-year – the figure was 36% in 2024 and 29% in 2023.

Despite the challenges teens face today, nearly eight in 10 (79%) are feeling positive about their future.

Two Tube Strikes Are Set To Take Place This May, And They’re Days Away

Posted on by
Reply

More Tube strikes are set to take place in London next week, bringing fresh disruption to commuters.

Last April, Tube strikes took place as members of The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) expressed their unhappiness with a compressed work week that they claim Transport for London (TfL) are trying to “impose” on its members.

For their part, TfL said the four-day change was completely optional.

RMT’s latest strikes are planned in May and June, with the next ones being just days away. These “disruptions” have been planned for weeks.

When are the next Tube strikes this May?

  • Tuesday, 19 May (midday) until Wednesday, 20 May (midday).
  • Thursday, 21 May (midday) until Friday, 22 May (midday).

On its website, TfL said to take those start and end times with a grain of salt.

It warned that disruptions are expected to continue into the afternoons and evenings following these periods.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, services will finish early. Previous advice recommended trying to finish your journey by 8pm on these days.

Which Tube lines will be affected?

The strikes are expected to affect the entire Tube network, though “service is expected on most Tube lines”.

But “Tube services that do run “will start later than normal”.

What other transport links are open?

Services including buses, the Elizabeth line, the DLR, and the London Overground aren’t going to be on strike during these days. They are, however, predicted to be incredibly busy.

Why are these strikes happening?

It started with a four-day work week.

The Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF), a train drivers’ union which represents thousands of Tube drivers, previously campaigned for a four-day work week, which the TfL recently began trialling on an optional basis in their Bakerloo line.

But RMT, a trade union covering the public transport sector more broadly, has said that they’re not on board with the “compressed” work week, claiming it packs five days’ work into four in a manner which could impact the safety of drivers and passengers.

RMT members are the ones striking in these upcoming cases.

The union also claimed it could mean drivers only get 24 hours’ notice before their shifts are announced and that TfL “U-turned” on negotiations.

In response, TfL pointed out that the four-day offering is completely optional and said it could help to make services more reliable and flexible.

We have shared the full statements the RMT, ASLEF, and TfL have released on the topic in a previous article.

Fleeting Streeting: Health Secretary’s Showdown With PM Lasts Barely 15 Minutes

Posted on by

Labour leadership hopeful Wes Streeting’s big showdown meeting in Downing Street with Keir Starmer lasted barely 15 minutes.

The grim-faced health secretary said nothing to waiting reporters as he left No.10 shortly less than 20 minutes after walking in.

Both the prime minister’s and Streeting’s teams were remaining tight-lipped about the talks as they do not want to overshadow the King’s Speech later this morning.

Streeting had been expected to demand answers from the PM on how he plans to turn around Labour’s fortunes after the party suffered a drubbing in last week’s elections.

The health secretary has made no public comments since Starmer told his cabinet rivals to put up or shut up at their weekly meeting on Tuesday amid mounting speculation he was set to face a leadership challenge.

Starmer said: “The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a cabinet.”

More than 80 Labour MPs have called on the PM to quit, and four of his ministers resigned on Tuesday.

They included junior health minister Zubir Ahmed, a former aide to Streeting.

On Radio 4′s Today programme this morning, he called on cabinet ministers to speak publicly about their true opinions of Starmer.

He said: “I think it’s very telling – just as ministers in the junior ministerial ranks have stepped forward to articulate their dissatisfaction, some of us publicly but more of us privately – that the whole of the cabinet has not, on this occasion, been able to articulate support for the prime minister in the full-throated way that would have perhaps had happen in the past.

“I think there is a responsibility on all of us in parliament and ministerial office to be honest with ourselves and the prime minister at this time.”

Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds, a close ally of the PM, told the same programme that none of Starmer’s rivals have the required amount ofd support from Labour MPs to challenge him.

He said: “The evidence of the last two days is there isn’t an alternative candidate with those 81 names.”

Christopher Nolan Defends The Odyssey After Historical Accuracy Concerns

Posted on by
Reply

We’re still months away from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hitting cinemas, but that certainly hasn’t stopped people from sounding off about it on social media.

Since the first trailers for the big-screen epic debuted last year, people have been raising questions about its historical accuracy over everything from its costumes to the American accents used by its cast.

Indeed, during a new interview with Time magazine, it was pointed out that some critics had taken issue with the suit of armour worn by Benny Safdie as King Agamemnon, showcased in The Odyssey’s latest trailer, which was compared to Batman’s costumes in his Dark Knight trilogy.

Nolan insisted that research was thorough when putting together every aspect of his new movie, pointing out that our knowledge of the Bronze Age is based on “very fragmentary archeological records”.

As he put it: “There are Mycenaean daggers that are blackened bronze. The theory is they probably could have blackened bronze in those days. You take bronze, you add more gold and silver to it and then use sulfur.

“With Agamemnon, Ellen [Mirojnick], our costume designer, is trying to communicate how elevated he is relative to everyone else. You do that through materials that would be very expensive.”

The Oscar winner continued: “The oldest depictions of Homeric characters tend to be depicted in the manner of people living in Homer’s time.

“So there’s a pretty strong case there for portraying things that way because that’s the way the first audience received the story.”

Of the sceptics among classicists, he added: “Hopefully they’ll enjoy the film, even if they don’t agree with everything. We had a lot of scientists complain about Interstellar. But you just don’t want people to think that you took it on frivolously.”

The Odyssey is Nolan’s first film since the mammoth success of Oppenheimer, which was a box office smash as well as winning seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy.

His adaptation of the ancient Greek story boasts an all-star cast including Nolan regulars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson, as well as Tom Holland, Zendaya and Oscar winners Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong’o.

The Odyssey will hit cinemas worldwide on 17 July. Read Christopher Nolan’s full interview in Time here.

Oddly Prophetic Group Photo Of Starmer On His First Day As An MP Resurfaces

Posted on by
Reply

A photo posted by Keir Starmer almost exactly 11 years ago has stunned political pundits after it was unearthed this week.

The prime minister’s job is hanging by a thread as more than 80 MPs call for him to quit following Labour’s drubbing at the elections in England, Scotland and Wales last week.

Catherine West, a former foreign office minister, helped to galvanise the campaign to push Starmer out.

She offered to be a “stalking horse” candidate in a leadership challenge to the prime minister, meaning she would stand against him just to tempt other rivals out of the blocks.

While her bid ultimately failed – as did her subsequent attempt at a no confidence letter – she helped get the ball rolling this week by encouraging MPs to publicly announce they had lost faith in Starmer.

Meanwhile, health secretary Wes Streeting is thought to be one of the frontrunners in the next potential leadership race.

He has made his ambitions to be the next prime minister clear over several months and many of his allies in the Commons have already urged Starmer to resign.

So social media users were stunned when they found a photo of Starmer, Streeting and West together on their first day in the Commons after winning their seats in the 2015 general election.

The now-prime minister shared an image of himself with West and Streeting along with the caption: “Taking our seats for the 1st time.”

The image attracted a huge amount of interest – with many noting just how cruel a game politics can clearly be…
