Talks between the US and Iran that had been planned for Friday in Switzerland will not take place, Reuters reported, citing a Swiss Foreign Ministry statement. Vice President JD Vance will not depart Thursday night for the face-to-face negotiations, the White House had said earlier. The pound edged lower as Andy Burnham won a historic contest for an open parliamentary seat, paving the way for the Greater Manchester mayor to challenge Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his job.
