With just two weeks to go until a snap general election, Britain’s ruling Conservative Party looks set to face what could be its biggest defeat in more than a century. While the Labour Party is expected to win a landslide victory, much of the credit for the Conservatives’ downfall will be due to an insurgent party to their right. According to the polls, the anti-immigration, anti-”woke” and culturally traditionalist party Reform UK, led by leading Brexit activist and former MEP Nigel Farage, is set to take as much as 15% or more of the national vote. One poll that showed it leading the Tories ...

London’s cult Prince Charles Cinema, known for its arthouse screenings, eccentric line-ups and midnight marathons, has long been a staple for cinephiles and genre fanatics. However, the beloved venue found itself at the centre of a backlash regarding the planned world premiere, on Sunday 23 June, of a film titled The Last Screenwriter. Too gory? Nope. Too raunchy? Wrong again. *Gasp* Not starring Vin Diesel, surely? No, everyone’s safe. The backlash is regarding concerns that AI is replacing writers, as The Last Screenwriter is marketed as the “first feature film written entirely by AI”. In a ...

This marks the lowest annual change in the consumer price index since July 2021, aligning with analysts' forecasts. On a monthly basis, inflation increased by 0.3% in May 2024, consistent with April 2024 but slightly below economist expectations. The UK's CPI inflation rate was lower than France (2.6%), Germany (2.8%), and the EU average (2.7%), and matched the US (2.0%) in the 12 months to May 2024. The decline in annual inflation rates in May 2024 was driven by reductions in food and non-alcoholic beverages, recreation and culture, and furniture and household goods. However, transport and co...

It is the latest in a string of Border Force rescues as recent UK government figures show more than 10,000 migrants have arrived in the UK by small boats this year. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has long promised to "stop the boats" arriving across the channel, many of them carrying people seeking asylum. Among the initiatives meant to change the situation is outreach to the government of Albania, whose help is needed to crack dow...

After being delayed for years, the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is expected to come into force this autumn. Brits and other ‘third-country’ holidaymakers will need to register their arrival and departure from EU and Schengen Area countries by having their photo and fingerprints taken at passport control. This will replace the manual passport stamp. But many travellers remain uncertain about how the system - and the follow up European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) due in mid-2025 - will work. Euronews Travel spoke to travel bodies, agents and experts to find out what advic...
