In Britain, Maria Gallastegui faced backlash for dressing as a Holocaust victim adorned with an Islamic symbol. Critics, including Jewish leaders and MPs, labeled it a "religiously aggravated" act, raising concerns about "two-tier policing." Gallastegui defended her actions, likening the Holocaust to the plight in Gaza, insisting her intent was not antisemitic. The Metropolitan Police are currently investigating the incident.

Meanwhile, Northern Ireland is enacting a new Transport Strategy aimed at improving road safety. Key changes include extending 20mph speed limits in urban areas and near schools, implementing congestion charges, and prioritizing public transport. New parking regulations and restrictions on Heavy Goods Vehicles are also proposed. A public consultation lasting 12 weeks is open, seeking community input to reach a goal of reducing road deaths by 50% by 2030.
