Andy Burnham Hosts Zelenskyy as UK Labour Surges

New British Prime Minister Andy Burnham hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a naval base, signaling continued UK support for Kyiv.

Labour has surged ahead of Reform in polls for the first time in 16 months.

The visit comes as Burnham's party has gained a 4 percent lead over Reform, though commentators question whether the lead can hold.

Burnham also paused early release plans for September after backlash from survivors and victims, drawing calls from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch for emergency legislation.
