Recent developments in UK politics include various statements from prominent figures and new polling data. Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney has suggested that Labour leader Keir Starmer would resign as Prime Minister if the Scottish National Party (SNP) achieves an overall majority in the next Holyrood election. A YouGov poll indicated that only 9% of people believe Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves is improving the economy. Furthermore, thirty Labour MPs have reportedly signed an early day motion, tabled by Richard Burgon, advocating for a wealth tax. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood characterized the organization of police forces in England and Wales as "irrational" and stated that police should not be policing "legal" tweets. Comments made by Keir Starmer regarding Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, in response to a question from Lee Anderson, were subsequently described as "without foundation" by Reform UK. Finally, Labour MP Perran Moon raised a question about the government's intention to enshrine Cornish national minority status within the devolution bill.
