UK politics and Indian PM's speech

The UK is experiencing a tumultuous time in politics, with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer facing challenges to his leadership. Meanwhile, in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the occasion of the Somnath Amrit Mahotsav celebrations to attack the Opposition over what he called 'appeasement' politics. The UK's Prime Minister is battling to save his job after Labour's disastrous election results. Sir Keir Starmer has delivered a crucial speech, and the King's Speech will set out the Government's priorities for new laws in Parliament. There are suspicions from the left that a 'stalking horse' move could trigger an early contest, which could favour Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Angela Rayner, seen as another likely contender, launched a devastating attack on the Government, saying things have to change 'now'. In his speech, PM Modi invoked the reconstruction of the Somnath Temple, referring to the alleged resistance faced during the tenure of Congress leader and then-Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Modi said the issue of national self-respect had often become a subject of political contestation in the country.
