It comes after Labour suffered huge losses in the elections across England, Scotland and Wales. The party have so far lost more than 1,300 councillors across England - resulting in the loss of control of 37 local authorities - as well as the Senedd in Wales for the first time since its inception in 1999, and struggled in Scotland. Worrying too was that they faced attacks from either side of the political spectrum - with Reform UK and the Greens big winners. Politics latest: Reform surge as Labour suffer disastrous losses Speaking on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Baroness Harman said: "There needs to be a consensus built and led by Keir Starmer about what the government is going to do differently, because more of the same is not acceptable. "The country is entitled to a government that actually delivers on its manifesto, but more than that, they're entitled to a government and a prime minister who gives them a sense of direction of where the country's going and hope for the future. "So it's not just about delivering the nuts and bolts, it's about a narrative, it's about telling the story where people can all feel the country's getting better."

Baroness Harman said Labour MPs had a "choice" and the "choice surely that they should make is to be part of and help the government do better and deliver the change that they promised".

The monarch said in a birthday card message how the pair have known each other for more than 60 years, having first met in 1958, and their "paths have crossed many times since". He was shown writing the card in a clip at the conservationist's birthday concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The 77-year-old royal said Sir David has revealed "the beauty and wonders of nature to audiences around the world in new and marvellous ways". He added that the broadcaster has shared the King's "determination to highlight the urgent need to protect and preserve" Earth for future generations. See pictures from Sir David's life The King said he and the Queen were "delighted" to learn he will be celebrating the milestone and on behalf of the whole country wished him a very happy birthday. Animals could then be seen delivering the letter across land, sea and air, before Sir David could be seen holding his royal birthday card aloft in the venue. The card's journey was initially thwarted by a fallen tree - only to be saved by the creatures, including an eagle, a fox, a red squirrel and an otter that travel across the UK to ensure that the wildlife presenter receives his royal dispatch. The Prince of Wales spoke of his "profound" friendship with Sir David, adding that his children have grown up with the broadcaster's "incredible storytelling" and that he has been a "guiding light" in efforts to protect the natural world. He said in his speech: "David, for decades, your voice has been a constant in our lives, guiding us through rainforests and oceans, over mountains and into the very fabric of life." The audience in the Royal Albert Hall all sang happy birthday at the conclusion of the event. The King and Queen also shared a carousel of photographs of Sir David on the official Royal Family Instagram account. The caption read: "Wishing Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday. Enjoy your special celebration this evening!"

Meanwhile, fellow environmentalist and Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio called Sir David "one of the most enduring champions of our shared planet" in an Instagram post. The Royal Albert Hall celebration was just one of many events to mark the broadcaster's birthday, including a takeover of the Piccadilly Lights in central London, displaying a birthday message for Sir David. The naturalist said he has been "completely overwhelmed" by goodwill messages and thanked well wishers "most sincerely".

Sky Sports News understands Boro staff spotted a man taking pictures and videos of training and approached him. He was asked to delete them, provide his identity and his intentions for being there, at which point he is said to have fled to a nearby indoor part of the training complex. He is then said to have tried to change his appearance before leaving Rockcliffe entirely. Middlesbrough vs Southampton previewGot Sky? Watch your EFL team on the Sky Sports appNot got Sky? Stream your EFL team with no contractGet more EFL to your phone with WhatsApp The EFL said in a statement: "Southampton Football Club has today been charged with a breach of EFL Regulations, and the matter will be referred to an Independent Disciplinary Commission. "This follows a request from the EFL for the club’s observations after a complaint from Middlesbrough relating to alleged unauthorised filming on private property ahead of the two clubs meeting in Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship Play-Off semi-final first leg. "Under EFL Regulations, Southampton would ordinarily have 14 days to respond to the charges. However, given the nature of the matter, the EFL will ask the Independent Disciplinary Commission to shorten the response period and to list a hearing at the earliest opportunity." The breaches relate to EFL Regulations 3.4 and 127. Regulation 3.4 states: "In all matters and transactions relating to the league, each club shall behave towards each other and the league with the utmost good faith." EFL rules strictly prohibit opponents spying on training sessions less than 72 hours before kick-off - a rule brought in following a "spygate" incident in 2019. Seven years ago, then Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa admitted sending a member of staff to spy on Derby County and Leeds were fined £200,000 following an investigation. EFL rule 127 was brought in on "Prohibited Conduct - Observing Training Sessions", which states: "Without prejudice to the requirements of Regulation 3.4 (that each club shall behave towards each other club with the utmost good faith), no club shall directly or indirectly observe (or attempt to observe) another club's training session in the period of 72 hours prior to any match scheduled to be played between those respective clubs." Boro play Southampton in the first leg of their play-off semi-final at the Riverside Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, live on Sky Sports. Southampton respond to EFL charge Southampton said in a statement: "Southampton Football Club acknowledges the statement issued by the EFL in relation to alleged breaches of EFL Regulations. "We can confirm that we will be fully cooperating with the League throughout this process. "Given the ongoing nature of the matter, the club is unable to comment any further at this time."'Spygate' version two? What happened to Leeds in 2019 explained The last time a team were accused of spying on opposition training came when Derby County claimed a member of Leeds United's backroom staff had been spotted watching training in January 2019. Then Leeds boss Bielsa later admitted to sending a member of his coaching team to spy on Derby's training session. While Leeds subsequently apologised, the EFL found them guilty of breaching Regulation 3.4. Leeds were fined £200,000 and were handed a reprimand by the EFL. As a result, rule 127 was introduced. Then EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "The sanctions imposed highlight how actions such as this cannot be condoned, and act as a clear deterrent should any club seek to undertake poor conduct in the future." 'Players won't care about spygate' Curtis Davies was part of the Derby squad that were on the receiving end of the original 'spygate' drama, but the former defender believes that the situation won't impact the players going into the game. "If I'm a player in the changing room, all I care about is getting to the Premier League," Davies said following Hull's 0-0 draw against Millwall in the other play-off semi-final tie. "I don't care who was in the bush watching training. I just want to concentrate on the game, make sure we've got the right game plan to go and win a couple of games to get to Wembley, then win that. "We're talking about potentially speeding up the process. Do I care if the opposition team's been fined £200,000, £500,000, £1m? It doesn't make a difference. "It's just about looking towards the game, not making any excuses about what's gone on. Let's just focus on our job, get the job done on the pitch." Meanwhile, Leicester City boss Gary Rowett suggested it could backfire on Southampton as he referenced how Derby ended up beating Leeds when the two teams later met in the play-offs. "It actually gave the Derby team momentum and extra motivation [in 2019] so, in some ways, it actually worked against the team that were trying to seek the advantage," he said. "Like everyone says, these games are so big. It's a minor distraction in some ways if you're going out onto the pitch or you're a manager. I don't think it really makes too much difference."

For more than a century, Welsh politics and the Labour Party were inseparable. On Friday, that historic bond was shattered. Wales was once the land of Labour giants: Keir Hardie, Aneurin Bevan, Michael Foot, James Callaghan and Neil Kinnock - all politicians who shaped both Welsh Labour and British politics for generations. The Labour Party was deeply tied to Wales' industrial communities and mining valleys. Politics latest updates: Starmer vows to fight on Yet on Friday, those same former industrial towns delivered a devastating verdict. With a record turnout, Welsh voters backed Plaid Cymru and Reform UK in huge numbers, while support for Labour collapsed. Labour secured just six of 42 seats across south Wales. Plaid Cymru won 19, while Reform UK took 13. Labour failed to win a single seat in Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni - the same valleys that once sent Mr Bevan and Mr Foot to Westminster. For decades, the phrase "Labour Wales" barely needed explanation. Wales was Labour, and Labour was Wales. But on Friday, that political identity collapsed. The electoral map of Wales has been dramatically redrawn. Plaid Cymru emerged as the dominant political force, winning 43 seats and becoming the largest party by a decent margin. Reform UK surged into second place with 34 seats. Labour, once the unchallenged party of Welsh government, was reduced to just nine seats. First Minister Eluned Morgan warned that the Labour Party will need to take a hard look at itself. "Welsh Labour has today suffered a catastrophic result. It ends a century of Labour winning in Wales, and the party will need to take a really hard look at itself and understand the depth of the challenge that we face," she said. Despite disastrous results for Labour across Wales, Scotland, and England, Ms Morgan stopped short of calling for Sir Keir Starmer to resign. Instead, the Welsh Labour leader warned that Labour must "start to focus on the working class and the distribution of wealth".

The immediate question now is where the party goes next. Labour must first elect a new leader - Ms Morgan resigned almost immediately after being defeated in her own constituency. Labour insiders told Sky News that the Labour MS for Flint and Wrexham, Ken Skates, is expected to be among the frontrunners to succeed her. Huw Thomas, the MS for Caerdydd Penarth, is another name being tipped. Mike Hedges, the Labour MS for Gwyr Abertawe, is also understood to be considering a bid. Former deputy first minister Huw Irranca-Davies has likewise been tipped as a potential contender. Momentum within the party is believed to be behind Mr Skates, while Mr Irranca-Davies is widely expected to be considered for the role of Llywydd, the Senedd's presiding officer. Ms Morgan's final words before leaving the count, the moment her political career effectively came to an end, were: "We know in the Labour Party we have tough days ahead, but we are confident that the sun will shine again." But with Plaid Cymru and Reform UK making major gains across Labour's former heartlands, and with an increasingly unpopular prime minister in Westminster, the question facing Welsh Labour is whether that political sunshine will come at all.

The White House's Rapid Response account on X called Hamill "one sick individual" for the Bluesky post, which featured an AI-generated image showing the US president lying with his eyes closed, surrounded by daisies. The image was captioned "If Only" and had a gravestone that read: "Donald J. Trump 1946-2024." Mr Hamill, famous for starring as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films and an outspoken critic of the Republican president, had posted the image on his official account. He wrote: "He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes. "Long enough to realise he'll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore." In response, the White House's Rapid Response account posted: "This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President." Mr Hamill then deleted the post and apologised, adding in a separate message: "Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologise if you found the image inappropriate." It comes after a man was charged with the attempted assassination of Mr Trump in a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington DC last month. In the days after the shooting, the president, Melania Trump and other US officials demanded TV comedian Jimmy Kimmel be fired from his ABC show. He joked that the first lady had a "glow like an expectant widow" in a sketch parodying the dinner before the event took place. Despite being filmed before the shooting, Mrs Trump said Kimmel's "hateful and violent rhetoric" intends to divide the US, and added: "It is time for ABC to take a stand. "How many times will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behaviour at the expense of our community?" Kimmel responded to criticism of his joke by saying it was merely a reference to the couple's age difference, before saying on air: "I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something ⁠we should reject. "I do, and I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it."

Fernandes becomes the first player at Old Trafford to win the award since Wayne Rooney in 2009/10 after recording eight goals and 19 assists in the Premier League this season. He joins an illustrious list of United players to secure the accolade, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Teddy Sheringham, Roy Keane, Eric Cantona, George Best, Bobby Charlton and Johnny Carey among those who have previously received the honour. Got Sky? Watch the Premier League and more on the Sky Sports app📱Not got Sky? Get instant access with no contract📺Premier League table | Fixtures | Results The 31-year-old playmaker needs just one assist in the remaining three games to match Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne's record for most assists in a top-flight campaign (20) after already helping United secure their return to the Champions League. Shaw at the double! City striker wins it again Shaw joins Sam Kerr and Fran Kirby to secure the award for a second time, after previously winning in the 2023/24 season. The Jamaica striker has scored 19 goals in 21 Women's Super League games this season, helping City secure their first title in 10 years and is on course to win the WSL Golden Boot for a third consecutive season. Sky Sports News has reported Shaw is set to leave City at the end of her contract this summer, with the striker eager to explore her options despite winning the title. The 29-year-old striker has scored a remarkable 110 goals in 133 appearances for City since joining from Bordeaux in 2021 and there is believed to be interest in Shaw from Chelsea among other clubs, including from the USA. Why did Fernandes get the nod? Sky Sports' Adam Bate: Declan Rice could power Arsenal over the line to a historic title win. There is still time for Erling Haaland to fire Manchester City there. But Bruno Fernandes' case has already been made. He has been the exceptional player in the Premier League this season. With 19 assists already in the competition, the Manchester United captain is one shy of the record set by Thierry Henry and equalled by Kevin De Bruyne. Whether he surpasses them or not, his creativity in this campaign has been on another level to everyone else. Fernandes has created 120 chances this season, according to Opta. He topped the Premier League charts in all but one of his previous five complete seasons at United - one behind Trent Alexander-Arnold in the other - but this is already his highest total. For context, it is almost double the number of chances created by the second man on the list. And while his ability to make things happen from set-pieces is a feature of his game - and of this season - he has created more in open play than anyone else in total. There will be critics even now. The customary abuse at away grounds. Former players who question him. But any suggestion that Fernandes lacks leadership qualities should have been dismissed long ago. He has been a victim of United's malaise not the cause. Like Bryan Robson before him, Fernandes has been a shining light in an awkward period in the club's history. But his own standards have remained. Both the supporters and his team-mates appreciate that. "I feel like he deserves so much," said Matheus Cunha recently. "He helps everyone. He is a beautiful captain for the club. He passed through hard moments and he deserves to have these beautiful moments also. What a player, what a guy. He deserves the Player of the Year." The Football Writers' Association agree.
