07.09.2025 โ‡ข The day of Starmer's migration barracks push and Labour's internal divisions
โŒจThe UK media on September 7th focused primarily on the deepening internal political landscape of Keir Starmer's Labour government. Following Angela Rayner's resignation, Starmer's cabinet reshuffle continued, drawing internal "civil war" critiques over his leadership and the process for replacing Rayner. Concurrently, the government intensified its immigration strategy, with plans to move asylum seekers to military barracks gaining prominence, particularly as over a thousand migrants reportedly crossed the Channel on the new Home Secretary's first day. This move was widely framed as a direct response to Nigel Farage's Reform UK. Internationally, Russia's largest aerial attack of the war, striking Kyiv's main government building and causing casualties, maintained a significant presence in headlines. A new domestic story emerged in the afternoon as a nationwide emergency alert system test widely failed.
