‘The Falklands are Argentine,’ Javier Milei said during his address |
 |
Connor Stringer Chief Washington Correspondent |
Andy Burnham is set for a Falklands showdown.
Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, has announced sanctions on oil drilling off the Falkland Islands, a measure that will trigger a fresh row with Britain.
The offshore drilling industry in the region is spearheaded by Rockhopper Exploration, a British firm, and Navitas, an Israeli company.
Confirming the sanctions during a national address early this morning, Milei also said Britain was facing an immigration and economic “crisis” that meant Argentina would prevail in its claim to the Falklands.
Falkland residents had no right to self-determination, he added.
The move is Milei’s latest effort to capitalise on suggestions from Donald Trump that he would stay out of any future conflict if Argentina attempted to seize control of the territory.
On Monday, asked by reporters whether the US could change its stance on the islands, Trump said: “I always review every position – that’s just one of many.”
The threat of a change in the American position is among the measures that senior defence officials at the Pentagon are drawing up as an incentive to hit Nato’s 5 per cent spending pledge.
The sanctions on Falklands oil could become a flashpoint between Burnham and Trump, who are expected to meet for the first time this month.

Good morning. I’m delighted to be rejoining The Telegraph today as a columnist, addressing the big political and social issues of our time.
As a former editor of The Sunday Telegraph, I’m no stranger to digging out the truth and keeping you informed, but I also hope to amuse and entertain you.
So please read my columns every Monday and Friday, and keep an ear out for me as a regular guest on The Daily T. If you use our app and would like to be notified, click the bell icon at the top right of this page.
For my first column, I’m examining Andy Burnham and comparing his approach to politics to the quack medicine offered by homeopathists.
The Prime Minister may have a soothing bedside manner, but the remedies he is proposing to cure a sick country with are worse than useless. They are a dangerous illusion, especially given that his diagnosis of what ails the nation is so woefully wrong.
I hope you enjoy it, and I look forward to reading your responses in the comment section.

• Britain must prepare for the threat of food shortages, the National Audit Office has warned ministers. It said that disruption was “becoming more likely and potentially more severe”.
• Dangerous suspects charged with knife and firearm crimes are being freed because courts are failing to send them to overcrowded prisons, Britain’s most senior police officer has claimed.
• A Caribbean delegation is to deliver demands for slavery reparations to the King. Envoys from Jamaica and other former British colonies want His Majesty to take legal steps that could strengthen court claims.
• The European Union risks triggering travel chaos as it prepares to reintroduce fingerprint checks that led to six-hour queues at airports earlier this year, airlines have warned.
• Thieves have stolen 11 sheep from Jeremy Clarkson’s farm. Officers from Thames Valley Police are investigating the suspected late-night raid on Diddly Squat farm in Oxfordshire, which they believe took place in the last 10 days.

Reform UK’s attempt to win over business is no longer confined to conversations with entrepreneurs and small firms. At its first Business Day, some of Britain’s biggest companies were visibly present, including Heathrow, JCB, TikTok and Vodafone. Yet the enthusiasm is uneven, writes Melissa Lawford, our Economics Correspondent. Smaller manufacturers are finding plenty to like in Reform’s promises about regulation and energy, while senior executives remain cautious about whether the party is ready for government.

Chris Langham, the actor and scriptwriter who has died aged 77, was a master of understated comic pathos; in real life, too, he conformed to the stereotype of the tragic clown. His air of nervous melancholy was no act, though few could have guessed the true depths of his psychological problems. In 2006 he won Baftas for The Thick of It and Help, but within a week was charged with 15 counts of downloading indecent images of children. Much worse was to come. Continue reading ➤ |

Inside Pattaya’s Lucifer nightclub, a gaggle of sailors raised hell, writes Sarah Newey. It was, after all, their first night of freedom after 286 days at sea. On Wednesday, the USS Abraham Lincoln finally docked in Thailand for a break after a marathon deployment. For some of the 5,000 sailors who’d been cooped up onboard, and for me, the racy, neon-lit bars of Pattaya’s “Sin City” were an obvious first port of call.

Exhibition Bayeux Tapestry ★★★★★ Not long after it had been seen by the King, the Bayeux Tapestry was briefly on display again, as the critics – including me – were allowed a preview of the British Museum’s blockbuster new exhibition. Spending time with this astonishing, vivid artefact – which commemorates the Battle of Hastings, and has returned to these shores for the first time in a thousand years – was surprisingly moving. The display is simple, with hardly any contextual objects: basically, it’s just the tapestry, all 230 ft of which is displayed, spot-lit and somehow glamorous in a long bespoke case, in a single straight line. What will stay with me is the brutality of the battle scenes. This isn’t straightforward Norman propaganda. It’s heart-rending.
Read Alastair Sooke’s full review ➤ Film The Death of Robin Hood ★★☆☆☆ The Death of Robin Hood is gruelling. Hugh Jackman spends the first, unpleasantly gory half-hour murdering a bunch of people while the remaining agonising 90 minutes are all about his atonement. Neither mode will remind you of any Robin Hood you’ve seen before, a fact worn by the film like a perverse, blood-streaked badge of honour. Who on earth is it for?
Read Tim Robey’s full review ➤ Television The Gentlemen ★★★☆☆ The second series of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen is darker than the first. It’s also less funny. The only hilarious thing about it now is the rumour that the Duchess of Sussex has been in advanced discussions to join the show. Meghan to appear in an operatic drama about an aristocratic family with a warring heir and spare? Whoever came up with this stunt casting idea is a genius.

Pay your wayWhile Orlando Bird, our loyal Reader Correspondent, is away, Joe Burgis is on hand to share an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Joe writes...
Whenever I returned home to live with my parents – after university, after travelling in South America – I was skint, and therefore had little to offer by way of rent. Still, I soon found a job and chipped in with Booths’ pork pies and the odd bottle of Burgundy. Should we expect today’s young to pay up?
Bob Fraser offered an emphatic yes: “They certainly should. As an engineering apprentice in 1962, I cycled five miles to work each day and was paid under £5 a week, less 10 shillings towards the cost of my new toolkit, and, for the first few weeks, income tax. Although the family had a good income, my mother took £2 of the remainder towards household expenses.”
Kevin Liles added: “My siblings and I used to have fierce arguments with our mother over the charges she made for rent when we started work. They were very high, and fees for ‘extras’ were frequent, including a charge for laundering my tennis whites in the summer.
“At the age of 23, I was told that it was time I left home, and was given a year to find ‘somewhere to strike out’. To help with this, my mother gave me a post office book with all my rent payments from the previous six years. ‘Now you’ve learnt what it’s like to pay your bills’, she added with a grin.”
That seems a very sensible approach, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, as Shirley Ann Bowles explained: “When I got my first proper job, having graduated from high school, my mother asked that I pay rent, which wasn’t much. I saw myself as an adult, earning money, and had no problem at all complying with her request. Years later, my father told me that he had always felt bad about that. I didn’t. It was a good life lesson.”
There was no such compunction in John Daly’s household: “When I started work in 1968, I was earning £8 a week and my mum took £5. When I complained, she said, ‘We’ve paid for you for 15 years; it’s time to pay your way.’” That’s all from me, folks. I’ll be back tomorrow to bring you the best Telegraph talking points. In the meantime, you can contact me here.
