The decision was made under the strategic export licensing criteria, which bans the export of items if there is a risk of them being used for violation of humanitarian law in the areas of humanitarian provision and access, treatment of detainees, and prosecution of military campaigns. Follow the story live here.     Jeremy Corbyn forms pro-Gaza alliance with independent MPs Mr Corbyn is joining forces with Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed, giving the alliance the same parliamentary strength as Reform UK and the DUP. Forming an official grouping should increase the MPs’ chances of being allocated questions and speaking slots in the Commons.     Tories governed like Labour, says Badenoch The Tory leadership front-runner said the party had “talked Right but governed Left” by bringing in “big state” measures such as the net zero target. She refused to set a target for reducing migration, criticising her rivals for giving “easy answers”, while refusing to give a commitment that she would leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Meanwhile, James Cleverly vowed to resurrect the Rwanda plan on Monday in his bid to succeed Rishi Sunak as leader of the Conservative Party.     Evening Briefing: Today’s essential headlines France | Man who ‘drugged wife nightly so 51 men could rape her’ goes on trial Markets | VW considers closing German factory for first time in 87-year history Police | Former Met officer charged with 17 sexual offences Conservative Party | Tory councillor’s wife admits inciting racial hatred Science | Blood stem cells grown in lab for first time in major breakthrough     Try 7 days of The Telegraph free claim this offer     Comment and analysis Michael Mosbacher | The hard-Right’s victory may tear Germany apart again Tim Stanley | The SNP are wrong: Scotland is a conservative country Lucy Burton | The four-day work week can too easily be exploited David Campbell Bannerman | I’m friends with Priti.
