Arriving by helicopter for the Cheltenham Gold Cup yesterday, Nigel Farage was full of his trademark swagger. Behind the scenes, however, he has been less self-assured over recent days.
Key stories include: Nigel Farage faces internal party strife within Reform UK following the suspension of MP Rupert Lowe, with polls indicating some voters desire a new leader. Allegations of bullying and police reports have surfaced, contributing to internal conflict, with some blaming Reform Chairman Zia Yusuf. Other news includes the jailing of a teen gunman, the death of Archduchess Estelle of Austria, a fatal car crash involving a student, analysis of space travel's effects on astronauts, scrutiny of cosmetic surgery signs, Zelensky's condemnation of Putin, a tense moment between Hilaria and Alec Baldwin, NASA conspiracy theories, claims about Gary Lineker, and a report on hospital failings in the Lucy Letby case.
