This means the underfull \vbox occurred while a page was being made, at
which stage it's too late to know what line was involved (TeX's
page-making is *asynchronous* with the typesetting).

6396 isn't too bad, which is probably why it looks OK. Max is 10,000.

1. Why have you put the text in curly braces? Normally you just type
\item[2015-05-27] Queen's Speech at the opening of
Parliament.\textsuperscript{[14]}
2. You don't need all those braces in the \textsuperscript AFAICS.
3. Is the \textsuperscript standing in for an unimplemented
bibliographic reference? Or does it have some other function?

Get rid of all the excess braces and see what happens.
