Badenoch says she would copy drastic cuts of Argentina's president
Kemi Badenoch has signalled that she wants to use Argentina's state-cutting president as the template to revive Britain's economy and her own party's fortunes. The Conservative leader said that her plans to reduce government spending would take inspiration from Javier Milei, adding that she was 'terrified' by the size of Britain's debt. Badenoch also batted away speculation that she may not survive in post until the next general election, saying that if she paid attention to briefings by some Tory MPs about her being deposed, she would 'lose her mind'. It came after a mini-reshuffle of the Conservative frontbench, in which Badenoch brought back her former rival in the leadership contest, Sir James Cleverly, to shadow the housing secretary, Angela Rayner. Badenoch was asked on Thursday if Britain needed a Milei, whom she has previously paid tribute to, and whether she was such a leader. 'Yes and yes,' she told the Financial Times in an interview. 'Milei is the template.' • Javier Milei's chainsaw economics in Argentina could lead the way Milei has overseen massive spending cuts since he came to power, just over a year and a half ago. His trademark prop is a chainsaw, to demonstrate his approach to public spending. Measures implemented in Argentina under his leadership include dismissing tens of thousands of state employees, slashing pensions and freezing dozens of infrastructure projects. The tribute to Milei this week will lead to speculation that Badenoch will push for significant spending cuts — however, where these would fall remains unclear. She said: 'It's not about cutting bits of the state.' Badenoch warned against 'top slicing' spending, and said instead: 'It's about looking at what the state does, why it does it.' Despite the Tories having trailed in the opinion polls for months, Badenoch warned her party not to emulate Nigel Farage's party. She said: 'We cannot be a repository for disenchantment,' instead saying the Tories should be about 'offering hope, fixing problems'. • What Kemi Badenoch's reshuffle says about the state of the Tories Badenoch praised Milei in her leadership pitch to Tory members at the party conference last autumn, saying that he gave a speech with 'very similar themes' to one she delivered two years ago, and hoped to have been his source of inspiration. In January, Badenoch also said that Argentina was 'serious about freeing business from red tape'. At prime minister's questions at the start of the year, she said 'Argentina is taking a chainsaw to regulations', in an attempt to persuade Sir Keir Starmer to drop his plans to strengthen workers' rights that she argued would stifle business growth.

Portrait of the week: Epping protests, votes at 16 and Ozzy Osbourne dies
Home Six people were arrested during a protest by 1,000 outside the Bell hotel in Epping, Essex, which houses asylum seekers; an asylum seeker had earlier been charged with sexual assaults in the town. The Conservative leader of the council said: 'It's a powder keg now.' The number of migrants arriving in England in small boats in the seven days to 21 July was 1,030. The Lionesses, the England women's football team, decided not to take the knee before winning their semi-final Euro game, after a player, Jess Carter, had been inundated with racist abuse on social media during the tournament. The Chief Constable of Northumbria Police ordered the removal of Pride rainbows and transgender livery from police cars after a judge ruled it was unlawful for her force to have taken part in uniform in a Pride march last year. At the next general election, 16-year-olds will be able to vote, the government said. Diane Abbott had the Labour whip removed again, pending an investigation into an interview she gave to James Naughtie, in which she said: 'It's silly to try and claim that racism which is about skin colour is the same as other types of racism.' Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, earlier suspended the Labour whip from four MPs – Rachael Maskell, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman and Chris Hinchliff – who were accused by government sources of 'persistent knobheadery' and were among 47 who voted against the welfare bill. Sir James Cleverly became shadow housing secretary in a reshuffle. Hospital consultants were told by the British Medical Association to charge £6,000 for being on call this weekend when resident (junior) doctors are on strike. The government announced it would abolish Ofwat in response to a 464-page report by the Independent Water Commission headed by Sir Jon Cunliffe, who said that water bills would rise by 30 per cent over five years. Government borrowing jumped to £20.7 billion last month, £6.6 billion higher than in June last year. British manufacturers' sales fell by £14.5 billion last year to £452 billion. Unemployment for the three months to May rose to 4.7 per cent, from 4.6 per cent in the three months to April. Brewdog was to close ten of its 71 bars in the UK. The train operator c2c, which runs services between Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness, was nationalised. Britain and Germany agreed to create a direct rail link between London and Berlin under the so-called Treaty of Kensington signed at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Andrew Saint, the former editor of the monumental Survey of London, died aged 78. Ozzy Osbourne, the frontman of Black Sabbath, died aged 76. Sir Roger Norrington, the conductor, died aged 91. Abroad Britain signed a statement with 26 other countries saying: 'The war in Gaza must end now.' It declared: 'The Israeli government's aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity', adding: 'The hostages cruelly held captive by Hamas… continue to suffer terribly.' Israel launched a ground and air assault on Deir al-Balah in Gaza. The UN World Food Programme said a food convoy in northern Gaza 'encountered massive crowds of hungry civilians which came under gunfire', after crossing the border from Israel. At least 80 died, according to the Hamas-run ministry of health. (Journalists are not allowed into Gaza.) Israel said it 'deeply regrets' a strike on Gaza's only Catholic church, Holy Family, which killed three people. Israel struck the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus in actions to defend Druze in the south of Syria. Bedouin fighters retreated from Suweida to surrounding villages and Syrian government forces guarded the road into the city, where Druze had been killed by government and Bedouin forces. The number of Druze and Bedouin deaths exceeded 1,100. China began work on the world's largest hydroelectric dam, on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet. A Ukrainian drone attack on Russia caused Moscow's four major airports to be temporarily closed. A Bangladeshi air force training jet crashed into a school in Dhaka, killing 19. In elections, Japan's ruling coalition lost its majority in the upper house as well as the lower. President Donald Trump sued the Wall Street Journal and its owners, including Rupert Murdoch, for at least $10 billion, over its report that his name was on a lewd birthday note for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 that contained a reference to secrets they shared. Connie Francis, whose hits included 'Lipstick on Your Collar', died aged 87. CSH

How happy are private renters?
Coined terms Liz Williams, a Reform UK council candidate in May's local elections, began a High Court action trying to overturn the result after she lost on the toss of a coin, having tied with the Green candidate Hannah Robson. The toss of a coin has been used several times to decide local elections. Has chance favoured a particular party? 1987 Labour candidate Bob Blizzard defeated the Conservative May Reader in Pakefield Ward of Waveney District Council after the toss of a coin. 2000 Labour defeated the Conservatives on the toss of a coin in the Worksop North East ward of Bassetlaw District Council. 2007 The Tory Christopher Underwood-Frost defeated the Lib Dem candidate on toss of coin in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire. 2022 The Labour candidate won over the Conservative in Carmarthen's Bigyn ward. There is only one recorded instance of a tie in a general election – in Ashton-under-Lyne in 1886. On that occasion the returning officer used a casting vote to elect the Conservative candidate John Addison.
