Norway's Auditor General has qualified its 2025 audit opinion for NAV, the Labour and Welfare Administration, after discovering persistent weaknesses in IT system access controls and logging. The audit cannot verify the accuracy of approximately 683 billion kroner in annual benefits—97 percent of the total 702.7 billion paid out under the National Insurance Act. The same issues prompted a qualified audit opinion in 2024 and contributed to the resignation of NAV's director in autumn 2025.
Streeting branded a hypocrite after accusing Starmer of ignoring Gaza war crimes Submitted by Oscar Rickett on Sat, 06/06/2026 - 16:01 Former health secretary said the prime minister dismissed evidence from British doctors, but doctors, Labour sources and campaigners question his sincerity Former British Health Secretary Wes Streeting arrives to deliver a keynote address at the Progress annual conference 2026 in London on 16 May 2026 (Jaimi Joy/Reuters) Off The UK ’s former health secretary, Wes Streeting, has been branded a liar and a hypocrite after he accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of ignoring detailed evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza. In an interview with the News Agents podcast, Streeting said that Starmer accused him of sharing a dossier of evidence provided by British doctors who had been to Gaza for “political purposes” so that it could be leaked. “When I sent that dossier around, the prime minister accused me of sending around a document that was designed to be leaked,” said Streeting, who resigned as health secretary last month. “Now, that might have been the way that the briefing operation against me in Downing Street worked, but you’ll have noticed that until the messages were released this week, I didn’t publish that dossier,” he continued.
As the UK's Labour Party enters a potentially existential leadership crisis, Catherine Viette is pleased to welcome Matthew Torbitt, political commentator and former Labour Party advisor. Torbitt argues that Starmer can probably survive in the short term because Labour’s internal rules make leadership coups difficult. Unlike the Conservatives, Labour “don’t tend to dispose of leaders, particularly in government,” and any challenge would require “81 MPs backing a single candidate.” That means dissatisfaction alone is not enough.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair intervened on Wednesday in the Labour Party's internal crisis with an essay of more than 5,600 words published on the website of his organization, the Tony Blair Institute, in which he demands that his party colleagues abandon ideological disputes, adopt what he calls a "radical centre," and formulate a national project before contesting the party's leadership. "Trying to remove a prime minister before even knowing what new political direction is being proposed is not a way to behave," the former Labour leader wrote, in an intervention that has received no public backing from the party's main figures.
Sources say much delayed Dip is close to sign-off but only after some of the Labour government’s worst infighting Cabinet relations have been left badly damaged by the protracted row over the defence investment plan (Dip), according to Whitehall sources who say the standoff has led to some of the worst infighting since Labour took power. Ministers are putting the final touches on the plan, which is expected to be published in the coming weeks after departments agreed to cut their capital budgets by about 1% to pay for additional military spending.
