Friday 13 February 2026: No 10's Shake-up, Olympic Outcry, and Controversial Remarks
Political Shake-up and US Climate Shift
The Guardian reports Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ousted top civil servant Chris Wormald in a No 10 team shake-up, following a "Peter Mandelson scandal." National reports, detailed inside the paper, highlight this as a significant "cull." Concurrently, the Trump administration’s revocation of a ruling classifying greenhouse gases as a danger to human health is branded a "'Gift to polluters'."
Olympic Helmet Row
A striking image prominently features Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych, wearing a blue hat and yellow jacket, holding a helmet adorned with faces. He was barred from his Olympic race for wearing this "helmet of memory," a decision labelled "'A terrible mistake'" and criticised for allegedly fuelling Russian propaganda.
Ratcliffe's Migration Controversy
Billionaire Jim Ratcliffe faces charges of "hypocrisy" over remarks about Britain being "colonised" by immigrants. Inside the paper, his apology is noted, alongside scrutiny of his Monaco tax domicile, which saved him billions, even as his companies reportedly seek UK and EU aid.
