Starmer's Evian half full

As the G7 summit opens in Evian-les-Bains, Keir Starmer faces a global stage with challenges at home, including defense spending pressures and a looming by-election in Makerfield. He is expected to press allies for stronger Ukraine support, advance sanctions on Moscow (including LNG tankers), and discuss prospects for peace with Iran. The PM is set to film a pooled interview with broadcasters to share his latest messages, even as he navigates controversy over a proposed under-16s social media ban. Outside politics, Amazon announced a £40 billion UK infrastructure plan, including the Leo satellite network to expand broadband.
