Trans woman, 31, ‘bit off stepdad’s ears, gouged his eyes and raped him before he plunged from balcony trying to escape’ thesun.co.uk/news/40485308/t…

We've all walked past them. The empty shop that's been boarded up for years. The old cinema gathering dust. The building everyone says, "someone should do something about that." Well, that's exactly what I'm doing. We're investing £210 million to help bring neglected high street buildings back into use - turning empty spaces into community hubs, health centres, shared workspaces, cafés and the local services that people actually want to see. The funding will also help communities save spaces like pubs and sports clubs and support co-operatives so local people can share directly in their area's success. People don't measure growth by looking at a spreadsheet. They measure it by looking at their local high street. That's how we restore pride and bring hope back. Not by telling people things are getting better, but by giving them the power to see and feel the difference where they live.

🚨 Slovenia’s PM at the UN: Executions in Iran need serious condemnation @JJansaSDS is one of the very few leaders at UNGA to name the wave of executions in Iran. Talking about double standards he said: “Executions, including those involving political prisoners, young intellectuals and others who oppose the regime, demand serious attention. Yet there is often no sufficiently serious condemnation of these executions or of the broader violations of human rights.” 24 September.

There're basically no Budget leaks this time around because they literally have no ideas. Everyone I’ve spoken to says Healey is completely out of his depth. He struggles to keep up with briefings and grasp basic concepts. One of the least-suited Chancellors to hold the office.

Like many people across Swansea Bay, I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Admiral Insurance are to cut 500 jobs from its UK business. I’ve asked for an urgent meeting with the company to talk about what happens next - particularly in Swansea.

Labour MP and UK Business and Trade Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, on BBC Question Time last night: "The deal we had [with the EU] has gone. We're never gonna get what we had before with our own currency and being outside Schengen" So Labour admit that rejoin is not possible.

And exactly who is going to do this ‘radical reform’? This is wacky baccy stuff.

A year on from recognising the State of Palestine, we will continue to stand up for what is right.

The funding will help deliver essential healthcare, clean water, sanitation and hygiene services, waste management and protection support to people affected by the conflict in both Gaza and the West Bank Miliband said: "It is vital that civilians in Gaza have unhindered access to aid. The UK is pledging a major new package of aid to provide much needed healthcare support to those desperately in need. We urge the Government of Israel to listen to our Call to Action and take steps to end its unacceptable restrictions on Gaza"

As for the economy...@afneil you cannot just cherrypick which countries you want to mention. The EU as a whole has grown faster than the UK. Certain major European countries were far more affected by the war in Ukraine because of the energy/gas issue. You know this. 4/
