Good evening. Sir Keir Starmer has warned Israel there can be “no more excuses”, demanding that more aid is allowed into Gaza.
It comes after the Prime Minister was dealt a humiliating blow on the final day of the Labour Party conference as delegates voted to oppose the Government’s winter fuel raid.

No more excuses for Israel on Gaza, says Starmer
The Prime Minister said there must be an “immediate ceasefire” as he delivered his first speech to the UN Security Council. He also warned Israel against a potential invasion of Lebanon and described the Middle East as a region “at the brink” of war. Here are the key moments from his speech.
Meanwhile, speaking during his trip to New York, Sir Keir insisted that Sue Gray’s salary should not be “the subject of public debate”. The Prime Minister has also defended taking free football tickets and accommodation because they were important for his son. It earlier emerged that the Environment Secretary accepted almost £2,000 in tickets and hospitality for a football match from bosses linked to a polluting water company.
