AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoPolitical Security: Shabana Mahmood has ordered an urgent review of protection for MPs and royals after Ann Widdecombe’s murder, extending police support to party leaders who are not MPs, peers and former elected representatives. RAF Fairford: Andy Burnham told MPs the suspected plot near the Gloucestershire base was highly likely coordinated in Iran and almost certainly directed by the IRGC. Britain has sanctioned two Iranians and summoned Tehran’s ambassador. The suspects have been released on bail; no charges have been reported. EU Reset: Burnham says the UK-EU relationship is “not good enough” and will seek a pragmatic reset at a November 20 summit, promising the public will be “the boss” on the country’s long-term direction. Brexit and Russia: His claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 referendum has sparked a political row. Burnham says he did not suggest the meddling changed the result; the government’s established position is that Russian attempts were unsuccessful. Troubles Legacy: Proposed changes to the Troubles Bill would give the UK Attorney General final say on prosecutions involving death or serious injury, bypassing Northern Ireland’s attorney general.
