Plans to shake up councils in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have been put on hold by the government.

The Cabinet Office, which leads on AI safety, says the UK "cannot simply turn AI off".

An exercise next year on a scale not seen for a "very long time" will test the UK's preparedness, a minister says.

The funding will be used to build two more launchpads.

Alan Amos, leader of the county's Reform group, said the shake-up will be chaotic.

Nigel Farage has been addressing Reform UK members at the party's conference in Birmingham.

Units in the UK not preparing to be deployed have been told to cut back on training exercises due to cost pressures.
