The Prime Minister said his “instincts” were to protect access to juries, citing his Hillsborough campaigning, and likened his approach to the pause he has placed on Labour’s early release scheme. Andy Burnham has signalled that Labour’s plan to restrict jury trials in England and Wales may not survive, days after he removed David Lammy as Justice Secretary.

Governor Jared Polis hailed a state that drew 96.8 million visitors in 2025, though officials cautioned that stiffer competition, federal policy uncertainty and poor snowfall are slowing growth — with some mountain towns seeing seasonal trade drop by as much as 40 per cent Tourism pumped a record $29.2 billion into Colorado’s economy in 2025, according to research released on Tuesday by the Colorado Tourism Office and Governor Jared Polis’ office.

But the picture varies enormously from country to country: some regions are in genuine emergency, while most of Europe’s holiday destinations are operating…
