Byelections live: voting under way to replace Nadine Dorries and Chris Pincher

Formerly safe Tory seats in Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth could fall to opponents in test of Sunak's electoral fortunes

Next month's state opening of parliament, one of the set-piece events in the UK political calendar, could face serious disruption after House of Commons security staff announced they would strike to coincide with it.

The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), which represents 250 parliamentary security staff who announced initial plans for a strike earlier this months, said any delays or queues on 7 November, when King Charles will deliver his first speech to parliament as monarch, would be the fault of management.

Could we have a debate on the reporting of the conflicts in the media between Israel and Hamas so that we can hold to account those media outlets that chose to rush to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy without having a sound evidential basis.

Accurate reporting is crucial, failing to deliver that makes the situation worse, could cost lives and fuel hatred and antisemitism back here in the UK.

There are two issues here. One is the Ofcom code and certain broadcasters' adherence to it. In the guidance for that code it says broadcasters should have regard to the list of proscribed terror groups or organisations in the UK', and that is incredibly important.

But I also think it is critical that reporters - sometimes stationed in very stressful environments - need to be reporting facts as facts and those things that are not facts, that have not been verified or are lines to take from terrorist organisations should not be treated as facts. I think that's very important.
