UK news agenda: energy crackdown, Iran plot claim and Budget 2026

Original: news today

The UK news agenda today is led by a government crackdown on rogue energy bosses and brokers over mis-selling, and reports that the alleged RAF Fairford plot was coordinated by a handler working on behalf of Iran. Downing Street appears to have backtracked on the Prime Minister's freedom of movement referendum suggestion, while Andy Burnham has unveiled 'everyday' Budget 2026 savings worth £1.75 a month. Elsewhere, Russia and Ukraine have begun a localised ceasefire for a humanitarian operation in Oleshky, and a 12-year-old girl died after a collision with a bus in Kilwinning.

Why now: A cluster of major UK political, security and human-interest stories broke today, driving broad public interest.
