โŒจUK media opened the day with initial reports on ongoing cricket matches and domestic social issues, including grooming gangs and local happiness indices. By mid-morning, attention shifted to international relations, particularly Putin's meeting with Modi in Delhi, with discussions focusing on oil and trade. This built on previous days' coverage of Russia's diplomatic engagements.

Later, Putin explicitly pledged to supply "uninterrupted" fuel to India, potentially risking a fresh row with Trump. Reports also emerged linking Putin's spies to London Waterloo station with Novichok, following earlier findings of his 'moral responsibility' for a Salisbury poisoning death. In the afternoon, the NHS warned of an early 'superflu' crisis, and Princess Kate hosted a Christmas carol service.
