Sir Keir Starmer says the UK is working on a 'viable plan' to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which he described as the quickest way to bring down bills. The talks come after President Trump warned of 'a very bad future' for Nato if members didn't help the US. We ask Caroline Glick, a key advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu, why Israel and the US aren't taking responsibility for the problem. Plus, how can an outbreak of meningitis in Kent be contained? And: the 100-year anniversary of the UK's longest surviving Indian restaurant, Veeraswamy.
