Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

Ukraine has reversed part of Russia’s summer advance east of Sloviansk. By late September, Ukrainian forces had regained most of Rai-Oleksandrivka and improved the situation around Mykolaivka and Starodubivka. Russia still retains roughly 99 km² of net summer gains in the sector. #Ukraine
