As a site visitor, I need event dates written the British way so that the site reads as a UK broker's site.

Editors type event date labels US-style ("May 13, 2026 – May 14, 2026"). The site is British, so visitors should read "13 – 14 May 2026".

Events

The events list, the event page and its "other events" tiles show the date label in UK order.
A label that is not a date ("Date TBC", "Autumn 2026") is shown exactly as typed.
Events still sort by date, including ranges whose year is only on the end ("October 11 - October 14, 2026") and compact ranges ("May 13-14, 2026").
The events admin shows a UK-style placeholder and a "Visitors see: …" preview under the date label.

News

Stories dated the same day list the most recently added one first, on the public page, the admin page and the admin API.

Out of scope: rewriting the stored labels. They are converted when shown.
