The Special Election Operation, as one Russian newspaper dubbed last month's legislative vote, has produced a State Duma even more pro-Putin than anything before it. The ruling party, United Russia, now has more MPs than ever. It allows the Kremlin to claim it has been handed a huge mandate from the Russian people.

UK's Burnham, Canada's Carney discuss AI risks, defence cooperation Share UK's Burnham, Canada's Carney discuss AI risks, defence cooperation on social media British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held their first bilateral meeting to advance cooperation on defence and artificial intelligence, capped by an evening watching a football match together at Everton's stadium in Liverpool. The British Prime Minister's Office said in a statement on Wednesday that the leaders agreed governments and the tech sector must partner to ensure online safety and counter the risks of AI. "It's a good thing that the companies developing the most advanced AI systems are now talking openly about the risks as well as the opportunities," the spokesperson for the British Prime Minister's Office said, adding that policy decisions needed to be "grounded in evidence rather than speculation" and that existing regulatory frameworks may not remain sufficient as AI capabilities advance. Neither the United Kingdom nor Canada currently has a dedicated law governing AI. Britain has taken a "pro-innovation", sector-led approach since releasing its policy paper in March 2023, empowering sectoral regulators to police AI rather than passing standalone legislation. Canada's own initiative, the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, lapsed when parliament was prorogued in January 2025.

Today's inflation figures underscore that the economy is the biggest challenge facing Andy Burnham. It is only 42 days until John Healey's first Budget, and there is increasingly apparent concern at all levels of the government and Labour Party about how that Budget can - or, as it may prove, cannot - substantiate Burnham's rhetoric about offering the biggest change in British politics in 40 years. Much of the tricky economic environment, yes, is driven by global factors including the persistence, and to some degree worsening, of the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. And the AI boom pushing up borrowing costs is another issue affecting many countries. But there are clearly domestic factors particular to Britain, and on that front it was very striking to hear the former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane telling LBC on Tuesday that without signs of cuts to public spending the markets now suspect that this is a traditional tax and spend socialist government with better TikTok videos.

Jaguar Land Rover's decision to shed 4,000 jobs comes after the carmaker has travelled down a very rough road. The company has seen sales fall in all of its major markets and it has been dealing with the consequences of a devastating cyber-attack that paralysed production last year. At the same time, it has been investing billions in an effort to reinvent itself for an electric future, in which it is likely to face intense competition from aggressively expanding Chinese brands. Executives have now decided a major overhaul is needed. One of the main concerns for JLR is China.

Stones from the 16th-century fort were reused to build part of Dover Castle, about nine miles (14.5km) down the coast, according to a new study. Archaeologists discovered a previously unknown report from 1883, stating that materials from Sandown were being sold off and sent to Dover. Those stone chunks from Henry VIII's maritime defences now form part of the Constable's Gate at Dover, which provided quarters for the castle's commanding officer.
