Afternoon summary

• Nigel Farage has rowed back from his party’s election promise to cut £90bn of taxes, accusing Labour and the Tories of “wrecking the public finances” and saying Reform UK would need to get public spending under control first. And here is an analysis of the main points from Farage’s speech, by Peter Walker and Phillip Inman.

• Keir Starmer has opened the Commons debate on the Hillsborough bill, legislation that will make it an offence for public officials to cover up state-related disasters. In his speech, Starmer said:

I want to begin this debate with a simple acknowledgment, long overdue. That the British state failed the families and victims of Hillsborough to an almost inhuman level.

Those victims and their families, their strength, their courage, their refusal to give up, a determination no matter what was thrown at them to fight for people they’ll never know or meet, to make sure that they never go through something like this again.

They are the reason we stand here today with this bill. They are the reason why it will be known as the Hillsborough law, and they are the reason why we say clearly again, what should have been said immediately, that their loved ones were unlawfully killed, and that they never bore any responsibility for what happened in Sheffield that day

• MPs have pressed the Cabinet Office to release the information available to Keir Starmer when he told the House of Commons he had confidence in Peter Mandelson ahead of his sacking. As PA Media reports, during an appearance before the foreign affairs committee, cabinet secretary Sir Chris Wormald said he will consider the request for further information contained in a due diligence report on the former UK ambassador to the United States.

• Max Wilkinson, the Lib Dem home affairs spokesperson, has condemned Reform UK and Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, for their response to the Cambridgeshire train attack. (See 5.04pm.)

• The UK economy is “doomed” under the Labour government, the boss of Ryanair has said before this month’s budget, as the airline revealed a jump in first half profits.

Ayoub Khan, the independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, intervenes. Given the importance of public authorities telling the truth, he asks if the PM agrees that Lisa Nandy should return to the Commons to correct the misleading information she gave to fans about the reasons why Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned from the match at Villa Park.

Stamer says, with Hillsborough relatives watching in the gallery, this is not the moment for party political comments.
