David Lammy has announced he is also leaving government, having been the deputy prime minister for the past two years.
He too posted details of his departure on social media.
Writing on X, Lammy said:
It has been the greatest privilege of my life, coming from humble beginnings in Tottenham, to serve in government as @Keir_Starmer’s Foreign Secretary, Justice Secretary and Britain’s first Black Deputy Prime Minister.
I am immensely proud of what we achieved, in Opposition …

So: Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Starmer. Can Rishi Sunak really be the only #PrimeMinister in the last six who has not been our worst Prime Minister ever?
Several members of Armenia's opposition were arrested Friday
while a major pro-Russia party asked the top court to annul this month's election win by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's ruling party,
alleging electoral violations and suppression of the opposition.
The opposition "Strong Armenia" party appealed to the Constitutional Court
to invalidate election results or call a second round of voting,
and denounced the arrests of opposition po…
Ray-Column IPRM: Restoring Radial Spectral Scale to Structure-Based Turbulence Modeling

Abstract: The particle representation model (PRM) and interacting particle representation model (IPRM) describe homogeneous turbulence through orientation-conditioned structural states. In their original form, the conditional state is organized by the unit spectral direction, while the radial spectral coordinate is integrated out. We introduce a scale-conditioned Ray-Column extension in which the spectral vector is decomposed into orientation and radial wavenumber, and the conditional structure state is projected onto finite radial bands.
The formulation starts from the continuum spectral tensor and is then reduced to the ray-packet ensemble sums used in the implementation. The bands are projections of an orientation-wavenumber tensor density and retain scale-conditioned structural populations for closure evaluation. The rapid dynamics remain ray-packet resolved, while the nonlinear slow and terminal closure coefficients are evaluated from band-aggregate structure tensors formed by integrating over orientation and wavenumber within each band. The present reference closure omits conservative cascade modeling among bands.
A reference closure is built from PRM rapid kinematics, band-local effective-gradient response, slow rotational randomization, and an active large-scale enstrophy (LSE) terminal-drain map. In the active-LSE closure, the misalignment-sensing factor Psi_fd regularizes the LSE structure-to-dissipation map; the Ray-Column formulation evaluates this map on band-aggregate structural populations. The model is assessed in irrotational strain, homogeneous shear, elliptic-streamline, and rotating-shear configurations. The rotating-shear comparison with filtered LES data illustrates the payoff of retaining band information: filtered or low-pass observables can be formed before scale information is lost in the one-point reconstruction.
