Manchester United and Aston Villa produced a borefest before the break and a classic cup thriller after the half-time oranges which featured six goals and ended with the effervescent substitute Alejandro Garnacho creating the Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay strikes that took Erik ten Hag’s team into the last 16, where they will face Burnley. Robin Olsen was Villa’s culprit for the Fernandes goal that made it 3-2: the goalkeeper’s slipshod pass went straight to Garnacho and after Fernandes collected from the winger his effort deflected in off Tyrone Mings. Then, in added time, McTominay slid home from Garnacho’s sweetly…

Kwasi Kwarteng has revealed he told Liz Truss to “slow down” and warned her she would “have two months” if she continued at the same rate with her radical mini-budget measures. Kwarteng, who was sacked as chancellor last month by the then-prime minister after less than six weeks in the job, also criticised the “mad” decision to dismiss him for implementing her tax-cutting agenda. The government’s £45bn tax cuts triggered economic turmoil, with government borrowing costs soaring, the pound plummeting to a 37-year low and the Bank of England intervening to rescue £65bn worth of pension funds. Truss subsequently resigned after 45 days in office,…

The 17.6% pay rise understood to be demanded by nurses who have voted to strike has been described as “remarkably high” by a cabinet minister, who admitted the expected action this winter would “completely disrupt” the NHS. Chris Heaton-Harris, the Northern Ireland secretary, said it was “difficult to judge” whether nurses were currently paid enough and that while it was not his “area of expertise”, he believed their job was “a vocation”. He said that nurses had a starting salary of £27,000 rising to around the mid-£30,000s, and asked: “Is that enough? Who can put a value on care like that?”…

House prices stalled last month after more than two years of growth as a sharp rise in mortgage rates fuelled caution among buyers, according to Britain’s official surveyors body. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) also predicted that rents will be 4% higher in a year’s time due to an imbalance between strong tenant demand and the supply of homes to let. Across the UK, 2% more property professionals reported house prices falling rather than rising, Rics said, ending a 28-month run of growth readings. However, there was some regional variation in price trends. While prices were heading downwards…

Republican state Sen. Zach Nunn has defeated incumbent Democrat U.S. Rep. Cindy Axne in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District election. Results showed Nunn with 156,237 votes (50.26 percent) compared to 154,084 (49.57 percent) for Axne, according to The Associated Press, which called the race on Nov. 9. “We’re going to work with people not just across the aisle, but every Iowan who wants to make a dedicated move to make our state better—and by result, our country better,” Nunn said during his victory speech. “Representing Iowa’s Third Congressional District has been one of the best opportunities of my life and I hope…

As Gareth Southgate names England’s World Cup squad on Thursday, Antonio Conte has warned that Harry Kane is so fatigued he had to stop training to rest on the eve of Tottenham’s Carabao Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Spurs manager played the England captain for the first hour of a tired performance on a night when Jesse Lingard posted a reminder that he can help Forest continue their resurgence. Conte said he had no alternative but to field Kane, who is not injured, as he had no other fit strikers and praised a selfless attitude that Southgate, the England manager,…

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has declared that Republicans will take back the House of Representatives. A GOP takeover of the House would likely mean that McCarthy will become the speaker of the House for the 118th Congress. “I want to thank the millions of supporters across this country,” McCarthy said on Nov. 9. “It is clear we are going to take the House back.” At the time of publication, the Associated Press has called winners in 371 of the 435 House seats up for grabs. This includes 199 Republicans and 172 Democrats. AP reports that two Democrats have…

Gavin Williamson dramatically quit Rishi Sunak’s cabinet on Tuesday night after the Guardian revealed claims that he told a senior civil servant to “slit your throat” while he was defence secretary. The Cabinet Office minister stepped down after the former Whitehall aide put in a formal complaint to parliament’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS), piling more pressure on Sunak over his decision to reappoint his ally. Williamson’s fate appeared to be sealed after further bullying allegations from his former deputy chief whip, who criticised his “unethical and immoral” behaviour and claimed he used “leverage” and threats to control MPs and instil…

A strike on London Underground will halt virtually all tube services and slow much of the capital to a crawl on Thursday, in the ongoing dispute over jobs and pensions. Some London Overground and Docklands Light Railway services may also be affected by the 24-hour walkout by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) union, while buses are expected to be extremely busy and roads congested. Elizabeth Line trains will run as normal. About 10,000 RMT members working at London Underground and Arriva Rail (London Overground) will be on strike. Disruption will continue through Friday morning rush hour as staff return to work. Transport…

Elon Musk has sold millions more shares in Tesla, according to three separate forms filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission this month. CEO Musk sold 19.5 million shares of the electric vehicle maker, worth $3.95 billion, from Nov. 4 to Nov. 8, the filings show. The share sell-off comes after Musk took over social media platform Twitter in a $44 billion deal last month. Musk sold $8.4 billion in shares in April, and at the time wrote on Twitter that there were “no further TSLA sales planned after today.” However, in August, he sold just under $7 billion of his Tesla stock to help fund the Twitter purchase, along with financing from…
