Damian Green, the UK's First Secretary of State and a key ally to Prime Minister Theresa May, resigned after an investigation found he made misleading statements about pornography found on his office computer in 2008. This marks the third ministerial departure in two months for May's government, further complicating the ongoing Brexit negotiations.

Surrey police shot and killed a man on the steps of Guildford Cathedral, sparking discussion about the presence of armed officers in the United Kingdom.

Conservative Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green was arrested and interrogated for nine hours following leaks of sensitive government information to the press.
