A "secret plan" by the Conservatives, a hacked email inbox and supposedly confidential files: Britain's opposition Labor party laid on the James Bond-style flourishes at a campaign event on Wednesday.

"Today we reveal the truth... If the Tories get back in on May 8, family budgets will be hit," Labor leader Ed Miliband told supporters in a speech.

Britain's Conservative party on Monday said it had suspended its candidate in an upcoming local election after she vowed never to support "the Jew" Ed Miliband, leader of the Labor party.

Gulzabeen Afsar was hoping to be elected to a council seat near Derby, central England, when Britain goes to the polls on May 7, but will not now be able to run after posting the "offensive and unacceptable remarks" on Facebook.

British prosecutors said Monday they had charged Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky with making and possessing indecent images of children.

Bukovsky, 72, faces a total of 11 charges and will have to attend court next week on May 5, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said in a statement.

British Prime Minister David Cameron hit back Sunday at critics who claim his re-election campaign lacks passion, insisting he has the will to win a knife-edge poll on May 7.

A shirtsleeved Cameron joked that those looking for excitement should "go to Greece," which risks a default and possible exit from the euro, during an animated stump speech in southwest England.

British opposition leader Ed Miliband appeared to go a step further Sunday in ruling out a deal with the pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) if he fails to win next month's election outright.

"I'm not doing deals with the Scottish National Party... it's not happening. I'm working for a majority Labor government," Miliband said in a BBC interview.

Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, and his son Prince Harry paid their respects Friday to the tens of thousands of British troops who died at the Battle of Gallipoli, laying wreaths and recalling the suffering of the soldiers.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and several Turkish ministers joined the centenary ceremony on Cape Helles on the westernmost tip of the Gallipoli peninsula, where British forces launched amphibious attacks in World War 1 starting in April 1915 but failed to break fierce Ottoman resistance.

The U.N.'s rights chief on Friday urged Britain to crack down on tabloid newspapers inciting racial hatred after a columnist for The Sun called migrants "cockroaches."

In a hard-hitting statement, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said Katie Hopkins had used language similar to that employed by some Rwandan media outlets in the run-up to the 1994 genocide, and by the Nazis in the 1930s.

Three British plane-spotting hobbyists who were arrested two months ago in the United Arab Emirates on national security grounds have been released, Britain's Foreign Office said on Thursday.

Relatives of the men had said they were detained after being observed plane spotting at Fujairah airport, a pastime in which people photograph aircraft and log their registration numbers.

Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that Britain would offer to deploy military ships and helicopters to the Mediterranean to help stem a deadly tide of refugees trying to reach Europe by sea.

But he stressed that this help would only be given "under the right conditions," as he arrived at an emergency EU summit in Brussels called after 800 people were feared to have died in a shipwreck on Sunday.

With just two weeks before a knife-edge election, Britain's major political parties Thursday faced stinging criticism from analysts over the lack of detail in their austerity plans.

The governing Conservatives and their junior coalition partner the Liberal Democrats, as well as the opposition Labor party and the Scottish National Party, have failed to provide detailed fiscal plans for the next five years, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said.
