08.06.2025Day Starmer Reversed Trans Stance As Pope's Funeral Prepared

Coverage of Pope Francis's death continued, with the Vatican releasing open casket images of the pontiff and announcing his funeral for Saturday. Cardinals gathered to plan the ceremony, with Prince William set to represent King Charles.

The day's central political development was Prime Minister Keir Starmer's explicit reversal on transgender issues, with Downing Street confirming he no longer believes trans women are women.

The IMF warned that Trump's proposed tariffs will significantly impact global economies, with the UK projected to suffer harder hits than European counterparts and US growth forecast to be hit hardest. This followed yesterday's market turbulence after Trump called Federal Reserve chair Powell "a major loser."

Late evening reports emerged of a terrorist attack killing at least 26 tourists at a resort during JD Vance's international tour.
