12.11.2024 โ‡ข The Day Welby Stepped Down
โŒจMorning coverage focused on Trump's transition team developments, with Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz emerging as likely appointments for Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. The assisted dying bill publication prompted careful positioning from the PM.

By early afternoon, Archbishop Welby's position became untenable following the PM's criticism of the Church's handling of abuse cases. Welby resigned at 2:08 PM, citing "profound shame" over the scandal that had built pressure since the previous week.

Evening coverage revealed Trump's consideration of a "warrior board" to remove military leaders, while Mike Huckabee's nomination as ambassador to Israel emerged. Gary Lineker's departure from Match of the Day, initially reported overnight, gained new context with suggestions he was forced out despite wanting to stay.

The Treasury's preparations for potential Trump policies and Labour's climate commitments formed underlying threads throughout the day's coverage.
