08.10.2025 โ‡ข The Day of the Gaza Ceasefire Deal Breakthrough
โŒจUK media opened the day with continued coverage of the October 7th anniversary, alongside Robert Jenrick's controversial comments. Early reports also noted the participation of US special envoy Jared Kushner in Gaza peace talks in Egypt, and Kemi Badenoch unveiled a "golden rule" for the economy. The focus shifted in the late morning and early afternoon to Badenoch's Conservative conference speech, where she pledged to abolish stamp duty. By evening, attention pivoted sharply to reports of significant progress in Gaza peace talks, with cautious optimism for a breakthrough. Donald Trump later confirmed a deal was "very close" and eventually announced that Israel and Hamas had signed off on the first phase of a peace plan, including the release of all hostages. Simultaneously, Victoria Beckham's personal revelations about an eating disorder and financial struggles also gained traction.
