Politics latest: RAF 'flew into the face of danger to protect civilians', says PM as pilots 'shot down' Iranian drones

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned Iran's "reckless attack" on Israel "in the strongest terms".

• 'Number of drones' shot down by RAF - Sunak
• PM condemns Iran's 'reckless attack' on Israel in 'strongest terms'
• Minister confirms RAF jets flew to Middle East overnight  | What did they do?
• Dominic Waghorn: UN and G7 will try to choreograph a united call for calm and restraint in Middle East
• 'Perfectly reasonable' for Starmer not to see Rayner's legal advice
• Live reporting by Faith Ridler

But before you go, here are the headlines:

• Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed that a "number of drones" sent by Iran were shot down by the Royal Air Force in the Middle East overnight;
• He said: "What we now need is for calm heads to prevail";
• Members of the G7 partook in a video call today to discuss the developments, which saw Iran launch 300 missiles and drones towards Israel;
• Health Secretary Victoria Atkins was unable to say whether an airline has been found to send asylum seekers to Rwanda - despite suggesting the scheme will be running "within weeks";
• Angela Rayner has said she will "do the right thing and step down" if she is found to have committed a crime in the police investigation into her former living arrangements.

We'll be back from 6am with all the latest.

Angela Rayner is set to become the UK's deputy prime minister if Labour wins the next general election. 

Here's what you need to know about the party's deputy leader - from her early life and career in politics to the abuse and controversy she has faced...

Also on the agenda today, we will likely get continued reaction to deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner's admission that she will "step down" if she is found to have committed a crime.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed on Friday it was re-examining allegations the deputy Labour leader may have broken electoral law over information she gave about her living situation a decade ago.

GMP made the decision after Tory MP James Daly informed the force of claims made by neighbours that allegedly contradicted Ms Rayner's statement that her property on Vicarage Road, Stockport, was her main residence and not her husband's - as some have claimed.

According to electoral law, it is an offence to knowingly provide false information in a voter registration application form.

Ms Rayner has repeatedly said her house on Vicarage Road was her main address and not Lowndes Lane, the home owned by her then-husband Mark Rayner that is situated about a mile away.

You can read more from Sky News below:

Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has called on the international community to "demand" players in the region abide by UN Security Council resolutions.

Mr Yousaf said he "condemns" Iran's attempted attack on Israel as he has "all and every regional escalation".

"There is not going to be a military solution to the conflict we see in the Middle East, there is only going to be a political and diplomatic solution," he said.

"We know that violence begets violence and therefore it's imperative now that the international community demand - not request, but demand - that all parties abide by UN security resolutions, such as a call for an immediate ceasefire (in Gaza)."

The first minister added: "We can't afford to see any more loss of life, because innocent civilians have already had to pay far too high a price for the actions of a number of countries and therefore we need to see de-escalation as opposed to further escalation in the region."

The Sky News live poll tracker - collated and updated by our Data and Forensics team - aggregates various surveys to indicate how voters feel about the different political parties.

As the local election campaign gets under way, Labour is still sitting comfortably on a roughly 20-point lead, averaging at 43.3% in the polls, with the Tories on 23.6%.

In third is Reform UK on 12.5%, followed by the Lib Dems on 9.4%.

The Green Party stands at 6.3%, and the SNP on 3.0%.

As the fallout from the Westminster honeytrap scandal continues to unravel, Beth Rigby, Jess Phillips and Ruth Davidson explain why contacts are so valuable in Parliament and ask what William Wragg's resignation tells us about Rishi Sunak's leadership.

And, with Labour riding high after two major polls predicted landslide victories at the upcoming election, should Keir Starmer be worried about voter complacency?

Plus, Beth, Ruth and Jess talk about the impact of Dr Hilary Cass’ review into gender identity services for under-18s in England.

Warning: some strong language. 

By Adam Boulton , Sky News commentator 

Soul searching about the UK's role in the world has broken out again following the publication of a pamphlet by senior diplomats including Mark Sedwill, a former Cabinet Secretary and National Security Adviser.

The World in 2040: Renewing The UK's Approach To International Affairs is being denounced for suggesting the Foreign Office should change its name and tone down its grand headquarters built in 1868 at the height of Great Britain's imperial pomp.

The authors believe a lower profile would befit the reality of our station in the world.

"The UK finds itself today in a changed role as a medium-sized 'off shore' power", the report asserts without explicitly mentioning Brexit.

"Our future has more in common with G20 nations like Japan and in Europe like Norway and Switzerland whose economies are closely linked to major economic neighbours."

Over a year ago, Rishi Sunak made five pledges for voters to judge him on.

The prime minister met his promise to halve inflation by the end of 2023.

But with the general election approaching, how is Mr Sunak doing on delivering his other promises?

You can see the progress for yourself below:

Israel's air defence system is one of the most effective in the world.

The Iron Dome began operating in 2011, largely in response to the 2006 war that ended with Hamas taking control of Gaza the following year.

It uses radars to detect and intercept short-range rockets, missiles and drones.

The Iron Dome was developed by Israel's state-owned Rafael Advanced Defence Systems with US support.

The system consists of a series of truck-towed mobile units placed strategically throughout the country.

By Faye Brown , political reporter

A cabinet minister was unable to say whether an airline has been found to send asylum seekers to Rwanda - despite suggesting the scheme will be running "within weeks".

Health Secretary Victoria Atkins told Sky News's Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: "We want them (flights) to take off as quickly as possible... We very much plan to have it within weeks."

Asked whether the government has a carrier yet, Ms Atkins said: "The Home Office is working on this, and so believe you me, the Home Office is ready to go."

"They haven't got one, have they?" Phillips asked.

Ms Atkins said: "We have seen some real progress in the last year with the reduction in small boat crossings by a third... but this is one part of our overall plan to cut illegal migration."
