  • The government is today unveiling more details on its plans to boost employment and reduce and the welfare bill. And in a case of perfect timing, Number 10 has ruled out plans for an extra bank holiday next year.

The article from Sky News discusses several key political developments in the UK. Russia has banned Sir Keir Starmer's top team from entering the country, escalating tensions between Russia and the UK. This ban includes prominent Labour Party members like Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey. Additionally, the article touches on the ongoing debate over the UK's asylum policy, with Home Secretary Suella Braverman defending the government's approach to illegal migration. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing internal party pressure regarding his leadership and policy decisions, particularly around Brexit and economic issues. The piece also mentions the upcoming local elections, where the Conservative Party is expected to face significant challenges, potentially losing numerous seats. Lastly, there's mention of a by-election in Blackpool South, triggered by the resignation of a Conservative MP, which could serve as a litmus test for the government's current standing with the public.
