Luke Metcalf is poised to leave the Warriors.

The NRL club have confirmed they have agreed to a request from Metcalf's management to talk with other clubs.

The Police Association says a new pay offer doesn't meet struggling officers' needs.

The union says they'd effectively get a 0.6 percent bump, with nothing for managers.

Police Association President Steve Watt says the impacted officers have found this offer 'tough' to accept, given the demands of the job. 

"We've asked for five percent, we understand that CPI is still to come out, but we understand that the CPI figure is going to be around that four to five percent. And the reality is, for our members, anything under CPI is essentially a pay cut."

The party lost a total 1500 councillors across England, with Nigel Farage's Reform UK party picking up steam.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Starmer is set to give a speech addressing the situation, but there's growing calls to replace him as party leader.
