We look at whether opposition leader Kemi Badenoch can lead a Conservative comeback.

Polls have suggested the party’s popularity was at historic lows in 2025 and early 2026, but they’ve been slightly more favourable recently.

So, after partygate and Liz Truss’ mini budget, are the British public ready to vote for the party again?

We also look at Badenoch’s plans to build 50,000 new prison places in England and Wales, and the government’s rollback on jury trials.

An open letter to the American people from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) claims the US public don’t know what is happening in Iran and asks them to pressure the Trump administration to end the war.

A Scottish Sikh activist has been released from prison in India after being detained for almost nine years without being convicted.

Jagtar Singh Johal thanked “the almighty” as he walked free from gate three of the Tihar Prison complex in Delhi.

The 39-year-old from Dumbarton was arrested in 2017 over allegations he had a role in a series of targeted killings of religious and political figures – which he denies.

Johal was granted bail at Delhi High Court on 18 September, but has only now been released from detention.

Spain’s coalition government has approved new housing measures following protests over the country’s housing crisis, sparked by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her home in Madrid last week.

Ministers met on Tuesday to discuss the proposals, which include a potential ban on evictions until 2030, Health Minister Mónica García said.

She said the measures would bring relief to more than five million people – but opposition politician Míriam Nogueras said the agreement left “small landlords out in the cold”.

The new housing measures need to be approved in parliament, where the leftist coalition government lacks a majority.
