GB News host claims Downing Street misled newsroom and Parliament over Starmer legal work
GB News presenter Patrick Christys alleges Downing Street provided inaccurate information about Sir Keir Starmer’s past legal work, including whether he worked alongside lawyer Phil Shiner. He says court records and other documents later showed Starmer had been involved in related cases, leading the Veterans Minister to return to Parliament and apologise for misleading MPs. Christys argues the handling was aimed at limiting political damage over Starmer’s involvement in Iraq War era cases, because nothing says “transparent government” like making someone come back later to say, “Sorry, we accidentally briefed everyone with nonsense.”

Martin Lewis urges ex energy customers to check for unclaimed credit, Ofgem says £240m sits in closed accounts
Martin Lewis is urging anyone who switched energy supplier in the past five years, especially former customers of Octopus Energy, British Gas and EDF, to check old accounts for unclaimed credit. Ofgem says around £240 million is sitting in closed accounts, and suppliers may not contact ex customers. Separately, new Ofgem rules mean some customers of British Gas, Octopus, EDF and Ovo may automatically receive £40 compensation if smart meter installation or fault resolution standards are missed. Lewis also warns people to beware unsolicited refund approaches that could be scams, because the only thing more reliable than a utility billing error is a stranger offering to “help” you claim it.
