Allies of Keir Starmer expect him to set out a timetable for his departure as UK prime minister imminently, putting Britain on course for its seventh premier in a decade and paving the way for Andy Burnham to replace him.

The US and Iran made “encouraging progress” in talks on a peace deal and will continue technical-level discussions this week, mediators said, even as President Donald Trump again threatened strikes if Hezbollah keeps attacking Israel.

Oil retreated while global stocks diverged as investors assessed early signs of progress in those diplomatic talks. Brent crude slid to below $79 a barrel after the two sides agreed to a roadmap toward reaching a final peace deal within 60 days.
