Donald Trump has hinted that he would not provide Britain with support if Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands again.

The US president said the UK wasn’t “there to help me” in Iran – a reference to Keir Starmer’s refusal to send a warship to help America re-open the Strait of Hormuz.

His comments came as Argentine president Javier Milei once again restated his country’s claim to the British Overseas Territory.

Argentina last invaded the Falklands in 1982, but were defeated when the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher sent a taskforce to the South Atlantic to re-take them.

Britain received intelligence and military support from America at that time.

In an interview with GB News, Trump was asked if he would “come to the aid” of the UK in the event of another invasion.

He said: “Well look, I was there when they had the first war.

“That was a long time ago and I watched it so carefully, and you comported yourselves very well.

“You took it back pretty strongly, but it’s a long way away. That’s a big trip, it’s a long way.

“So, your country’s not doing well. Don’t forget, you get a big percentage of your oil from the Strait of Hormuz, and you weren’t there to help me.

“Your country was not there to help me. We didn’t need help, but I did ask Nato, and I asked your former leader, ‘why didn’t you send a couple of ships?’

“He said we don’t have any, and it was pretty sad, the whole thing. So Nato was not there, even though they get – most of those countries get – a big portion of their oil from there. So we’re doing that by ourselves.

Earlier this week, Trump said he was “reviewing” America’s position on the Falklands.

In a referendum in 2013, 99.8% of Falkland Islanders voted to remain British.

But speaking on Argentine television on Friday, Janier Milei said: “I want to be quite clear with everybody. The Falklands are Argentinean. Historically and legally.

“There can be no argument. They are part of the Argentine territory.

“The islanders on their usurped territory do not have a legitimate right to self-determination and any argument on any such self-determination is invalid.”

He said he would introduce sanctions on any oil companies working in the area.

Production at the Sea Lion oilfield in the region, which is owned by an Israeli and a British firm, is due to begin in 2028.

Milei said Trump and the US was “assessing their historical position in regard to the Falklands”.

“That is not empty words as they understand that Argentina is a reliable partner and a valuable ally for decades to come,” he said

“Our role and relevance as a country in the world has changed dramatically.

“The Falklands are our future – we need to recover these islands which are nationally relevant. There is no other path forward.

“It is the best way of paying tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for this cause. It is our obligation as a nation to honour their memory.”

From chatting about larping to telling mates to ‘call an Uber’, there’s always some new terminology or phrase entering teen vocabulary – often fuelled by the latest TikTok trends and viral memes.

And with the school holidays finally coming to an end, it’s likely you’ve heard – or seen – a lot more of it over the summer.

Research from Tesco Mobile reveals 70% of parents have struggled to understand their child’s texts or social posts because of slang.

You might already know the meaning of some terms – chopped is now another word for ugly apparently, while aura is all about how cool or uncool something is.

But with three in 10 (30% of) parents not knowing what “do you send?” means, we thought we’d weigh in on one of the more dicey slang terms you’ll definitely want to know about.

In short, it’s a request to send nude images. Whether you’ve spotted someone asking this in social media comments or direct messages linked to your teen’s account or not, it’s worth having a chat with them about it.

It can be helpful to tell your child that it’s never OK for people to ask for private, body or underwear photos, explaining that once a photo is sent to someone, they lose control of it forever. It’s also worth reiterating to them that people might not always be who they say they are online.

Once an image has been shared, children are at risk of blackmail – and over time, the types of images requested could become more explicit.

Earlier this year, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) warned child sexual extortion cases in the UK have soared by 72% in the space of a year.

Criminals are tricking young people into sending nude or sexual images of themselves which are then used to blackmail them. In 97% of cases, the victims are boys.

This is a tricky situation to be in and will likely leave you feeling upset, confused or angry about it. If this does happen, the NSPCC warns against shouting at them or making it feel like it’s their fault, especially as they’re probably already very anxious.

Reassure them that you’ll help support them through it and remind them of who they can talk to, whether that’s you, another adult or Childline.

“Ask open questions such as ‘what happened?’ rather than asking ‘why have you done it?’, as the latter may stop them from opening up to you,” advises the NSPCC.

If your child agrees to it, it can also be helpful to speak to the safeguarding lead at their school, as they may be able to help stop images or videos being shared among classmates.

It’s also worth telling them about the Internet Watch Foundation’s Report Remove tool, which allows young people to discreetly report a nude image or video shared online. The IWF will then review it and work to have it removed if it breaks the law.

Detective Sergeant Dave Moorman, from Warwickshire Police’s Online Child Exploitation Team, previously urged teenagers to tell a trusted adult – like a teacher, parent or the police – as soon as possible after sending a nude image.

“I can’t emphasise this enough, you will not get into trouble, and we can put measures in place to help stop the spread of the image,” he said.

Donald Trump may actually have finally lost it this week.

While the US president already has a reputation for being unpredictable, mercurial and chaotic – to say the least – he seems to have taken it to a new level in the last few days.

The maverick Republican picked a fight with Canada by starting a trade war and then rubbed salt in the wound by renaming Lake Ontario, one of the Great Lakes on the border between their countries, Lake America.

He upped the pettiness by sharing AI videos showing Canadian geese with his trademark blonde hair and carrying machine guns patrolling the shores of “Lake America”.

Trump is also all over the place with the Iran war, a conflict he started in February.

The US-Israeli strikes against Tehran gave the Iranians the chance to seize control of the major oil shipping lane, the Strait of Hormuz.

They have let almost no trade through the major waterway in the last six months and the global economy continues to suffer.

America’s allies in the Gulf are suffering the real-world consequences as Iran has retaliated by hitting US military bases in the region.

But the president seems to be in denial about the reality of the war.

He even posted an AI video of a US attack on an Iranian oil hub which never actually happened.

Trump appears to be testing new UK prime minister Andy Burnham, too.

The president has refused to deny reports America could stop supporting Britain’s claims to the Falkland Islands.

If the States did withdraw its backing for the British Overseas Territory – and instead start supporting Argentina’s claim to the archipelago – then it would spell major trouble for the UK-US “special relationship” and trigger Burnham’s first international crisis.

Could Trump be looking to punish the UK for not supporting his offensive on Iran, as a leaked Pentagon email from April suggested?

Or is it his way of forcing the government to spend more money on defence. With Trump, you simply can never tell.

This is not the first time the president has upended international diplomacy, of course – his insistence Greenland belongs to him continues to rile Nato members – but his behaviour does appear even more illogical than usual.

It hardly seems politically savvy to focus on the international stage when Americans are preparing to elect members to Congress in the November midterm elections.

The president may not be on the ballot paper but he needs Republicans to hold the Senate and the House of Representatives to get key legislation passed.

Current predictions suggest the electorate are poised to deliver a brutal blow to Trump and his party by handing control of Congress to the Democrats.

Americans are concerned about the cost of living and elected Trump on the promise that he would put “America First” and bring prices down.

Instead, his war in Iran has led to a spike in oil prices and pushed up the cost of living both in the US and around the world.

There is growing anger that he rarely seems focused on the everyday problems of the very people who voted him into the White House.

So why is he still doubling down on that bizarre decision this week?

Listen to Commons People as we unpack the fallout from the recent Trump drama and why he cannot continue to ignore his domestic problems.

Writer, activist and feminist trailblazer Gloria Steinem has died at the age of 92.

Her spokesperson confirmed that, on 2 September, she passed “peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her”.

Paying tribute, they wrote on Instagram: “Gloria’s near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end.

“Gloria’s greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard.

“Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves. Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humour.”

Here are six of the defining moments from her life and career, many of which go to show what a pivotal figure she was in amplifying the second-wave feminist movement and ensuring women’s voices were heard.

Trying to carve out as career as a journalist was no mean feat for a woman in the 1950s and 60s, however Steinem persevered and gained national attention in ’63 when she went undercover as a Playboy Bunny and penned a two-part series for Show magazine on what it was really like for women to work at the Playboy Club, including what they were paid and some of the sexist practices that went on behind the scenes.

In April 1969, Steinem connected the fight for racial equality to that of gender equality in a New York Magazine essay which won her national attention and helped to spread feminist ideas outside of small activist bubbles and into wider public awareness.

The National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC) was founded in 1971 by Steinem and fellow activists Shirley Chisholm; Betty Friedan; Fannie Lou Hamer and Bella Abzug, with an aim of identifying, recruiting, training and supporting women candidates for elected and appointed office in the United States.

In 1971 there were 15 women in US Congress, which rose to 150 women in 2026. Similarly, there were just seven female Mayors of cities with a population of over 30,000 people in 1971, compared to 428 in 2026.

In 1972, Steinem launched Ms Magazine, a national feminist publication, as she put it, “for those of us who had the radical idea that women are people”. The magazine covered topics typically unexplored in traditional women’s glossies, such as domestic abuse, sexual harassment, abortion, race and sexuality.

Reflecting on the publication’s success back in 2022, Steinem said: “The response was shocking … It sold out in eight days.”

Steinem was a firm believer that women should have control over their bodies and reproductive choices. She opened up about her own abortion, at the age of 22, and even dedicated her book, My Life On The Road, to the London physician Dr John Sharpe, who carried out her abortion back when it was illegal to do so.

In 2011, she told The Guardian: “It [abortion] is supposed to make us a bad person. But I must say, I never felt that. I used to sit and try and figure out how old the child would be, trying to make myself feel guilty. But I never could!

“I think the person who said: ‘Honey, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament’ was right. Speaking for myself, I knew it was the first time I had taken responsibility for my own life. I wasn’t going to let things happen to me. I was going to direct my life, and therefore it felt positive.”

She has spoken publicly at hundreds of events over the years, including the Women’s March on Washington in 2017, all of which helped project women’s rights and issues into the forefront of discussion.

Per the National Women’s History Museum, she also co-founded: the Women’s Action Alliance, the Women’s Media Center, Voters for Choice and the Ms. Foundation for Women, as well as helping to create Take Our Daughters to Work Day, empowering young girls to learn about career opportunities.

In 2013, she was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work leading the women’s rights movement.

This article contains major spoilers for the third season of Love Is Blind UK.

If ever there were an argument in favour of Netflix’s Love Is Blind “experiment”, it’d be the third season of the UK edition.

This year, not only did more couples than ever before get engaged in the pods, a record number actually made it down the aisle and said “I do” – all of whom are still together to this day.

However, because of just how much love was in the air on the set of Love Is Blind UK’s third iteration, that meant multiple couples’ romances never actually made it onto our screens.

Among them were Sammy and Jonathan, a wellbeing coach and tech recruiter who met in the pods when filming got underway last year.

Eventually, they were one of the 14 couples who got engaged in the pods, although producers didn’t select them to continue on in the process, meaning it was entirely in their own hands what happened next for their love story.

Ahead of the Love Is Blind UK finale, Sammy and Jonathan shared their journey in an emotional post, revealing that two days after making it back home after filming, things got real for them when they started texting.

Then, a month after getting engaged, they finally met face-to-face for the first time, embarking on a holiday to Malaga together to get to know one another better.

By October, they found themselves in a regular long-distance relationship… albeit one where they’d already agreed to get married before they’d even clapped eyes on each other.

“No pods. No cameras. No producers,” they recalled. “Just us actually figuring out how to be a normal couple after the least normal start imaginable.

“Back to work. Living opposite sides of the country AND secretly engaged, but unable to tell anyone. Let the real experiment begin…”

The post then charted more of the highs and lows of their relationship, including finding out that Sammy was pregnant in April 2026, before suffering a “silent miscarriage” two months later.

Check out their Instagram post for yourself below:

“AND HERE WE ARE,” the post concluded. “Almost one whole year later, we finally get to talk about us.

“We didn’t get picked to continue on Love Is Blind. At the time, that felt like the end of our story. Turns out, it was the beginning of the best bit.

“No cameras. No experiment. No guarantees. We just kept choosing each other. And now you’re finally in on the secret… so, thanks for coming to our VERY hard launch. Follow along for whatever happens next.”

“Petition for Netflix to release our engagement tape starts here,” they joked.

Meanwhile, Sammy also let slip to The Sun that, early on in the process, she almost became embroiled in a love triangle (or, perhaps, love square) with another of this year’s hopefuls.

“As the days went on, Taylor was like my top [choice],” she revealed. “Maybe until, like, day four.

“But as Taylor was starting to come down [in Sammy’s view], Jon was then coming back up.”

She continued: “The first few dates, you just connect with these people. And I think me and Taylor had connected very instantly on the fact that we both lost a parent. And I think that initially connected us.

“And then, as you date more, you start to realise, ‘oh wait, maybe we’re not as compatible as initially we thought’. And the opposite kind of happened with Jon. We had an initial spark, but then as we started to chat more and more, and the dates got longer, the connection just built and built.”

All three seasons of Love Is Blind UK are now streaming on Netflix, with the streaming giant recently giving an update about the franchise’s future.
