Keir Starmer has dominated headlines this week as the British Prime Minister, presiding over a whirlwind of diplomatic, business, and geopolitical action. Most notably, Starmer stood centre stage with US President Donald Trump at Chequers outside London, where they jointly announced the $350 billion Tech Prosperity Deal, hailed as the “biggest investment package of its kind” in UK history by Starmer and widely covered by Fox Business and the LA Times. This deal promises 15,000 UK jobs, new advanced nuclear reactors, and a surge in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and data centre investments backed by tech giants like Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. Starmer described it as a blueprint for shared opportunity and a reset of UK-US business relations, aiming to cement Britain’s place as a global tech powerhouse.
The Trump visit also brought a media circus, with coverage ranging from Bloomberg shots of politicians signing contracts to analysis of private talks reportedly focused on US tariffs, the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, and an elusive steel and aluminium deal that remains stuck despite earlier political promises. The joint press conference was a moment of political theatre, Starmer balancing overt friendliness with US diplomacy while fielding pointed questions about UK policy on Palestinian recognition.
Within hours of Trump’s departure, Starmer sent shockwaves through world politics by formally declaring the UK’s recognition of Palestinian statehood, despite strong opposition from the US and Israel, a move confirmed by NPR, OPB, and multiple major outlets. The timing set tongues wagging about diplomatic brinkmanship, especially given Trump’s criticism that recognizing Palestine could reward Hamas. Starmer was unequivocal, distancing his decision from any support of Hamas and positioning the UK alongside Australia and Canada in supporting Palestinian sovereignty.
On social media, Starmer’s public appearances, speeches, and the tech deal earned trending status, with X and Instagram picking up a surge in posts referencing his new role as a global statesman. Political accounts and business influencers debated whether the investments mark a true economic turning point or just headline spin. The Palestinian recognition announcement drew polarized reactions—supporters hailed it as historic, critics accused Starmer of risking vital alliances.
In terms of biographical significance, Starmer’s week sets multiple precedents: his ability to close record-breaking business deals, take bold foreign policy steps, and reposition the UK on the global stage. Industry watchers and Whitehall insiders are already speculating about future summits, new economic partnerships, and ongoing diplomatic fallout from the Palestinian move. For now, Starmer looks every bit the headline prime minister—proactive, strategic, and not shy about challenging the status quo.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
