The Papers: 'Heat engulfs UK' and 'Ghana be alright'

Outgoing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his "likely successor" Andy Burnham could clash over "defence investment blueprint", a 10-year plan to fund armed forces and new military technology, and grow the defence industry, the Financial Times writes. "Burnham wants to review the investment plan instead of nodding through a Starmer-drafted proposal," the paper reports, citing unnamed sources. It adds that the published proposal has caused "bitter wrangling within the Starmer administration", recently leading to former Defence Secretary John Healey's resignation. The paper also says Rachel Reeves' future as chancellor is "in doubt" in a Burnham government, although she could be offered "an alternative cabinet role".
