Suella Braverman has admitted using her personal email for official business six times so she could read the documents while taking work video calls. The home secretary was reappointed to the position by Rishi Sunak after quitting under Liz Truss because she breached security rules by sending a draft written ministerial statement (WMS) to the Conservative backbencher John Hayes and also accidentally to someone on the staff of the Tory MP Andrew Percy, breaching the ministerial code. The draft statement consisted of “high-level proposals for liberalising our migration rules”, including “increasing the number of low-skilled foreign workers, as well as general plans…

Israelis are returning to the voting booths for the fifth time in under four years as the former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks a return to power alongside far-right allies. Polls opened at 8am (6am GMT) on Tuesday. All 11 competing slates, worried about turnout in an exhausted electorate, have begun an energetic last campaigning push to encourage voters to leave the house. As with the four previous elections since 2019, Tuesday’s poll is largely a single-issue vote on whether the scandal-plagued Netanyahu is fit for office. Final polls published on Friday suggested that the Israeli public is once again split, with…

Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats are on course to win Denmark’s general election, but whether they stay in government – and she keeps her job as prime minister – could depend on a new party led by one of her predecessors. Frederiksen was forced to call Tuesday’s election when a leftist party backing her minority government withdrew support, and has said she wants “a broad coalition with parties on both sides of the political centre” to pilot the country through tough times. But in a political landscape split between 14 parties, both her left-leaning “red bloc”, polling at about 49%, and the rival…

Jürgen Klopp has said judgment should be reserved until the end of the season on whether Liverpool have reached the end of a cycle and need rebuilding. Liverpool are closer on points to the bottom of the Premier League than the top four after winning four of 12 Premier League games this season, with Saturday’s home defeat by struggling Leeds giving Klopp a sleepless night. The Liverpool manager believes injuries are a major reason for this season’s toils but when asked whether he felt this team are in decline he accepted it was a legitimate question that could be answered only at the conclusion…

Twitter flagged President Joe Biden’s claim that “55” big corporations nationwide paid no taxes for 2020, as the platform affirmed that “only 14” of them were eligible to be taxed. Biden took to Twitter to boast about his Inflation Reduction Act last Friday, using one of his favored data targeting big companies. “Let me give you the facts,” the president wrote in an Oct. 28 post. “In 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes. My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this,” Biden asserted. Attached to Biden’s post accompanies a notice from Twitter’s experimental new fact-checking program known as…

New Twitter owner Elon Musk appeared to mock his company’s human resource bots after receiving a “management 101” notice. Musk, who acquired the social media platform for $44 billion last week, posted what he said was an autogenerated message to him and mocked it. “Hey Elon,” the automated message began. “It’s time to start Managing @Twitter (M101)!” It added: “M101 covers what it means to be a good manager at Twitter by showing you how to create opportunities for impact, help your Tweeps grow their careers, and demonstrate care for your team.” The message added that Musk, who owns Twitter, has 30 days to complete the “mandatory…

South Korea was in mourning as an investigation opened into the deaths of more than 150 people, mostly young adults, when a huge Halloween party crowd surged into a narrow alley in a nightlife district in Seoul. It remained unclear what led the crowd to head into the alley in the Itaewon area on Saturday night. Witnesses said people fell on each other “like dominoes”, and some victims were bleeding from their noses and mouths while being given CPR. On Monday morning, people laid white chrysanthemums, drinks and candles at a small makeshift altar off an exit of the Itaewon subway station,…

David DePape, the man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer last week in the couple’s California home, has been “mentally ill for a long time,” according to a woman who identified herself as DePape’s former life partner. Oxane Taub, a nudist activist who’s currently incarcerated in the California Institution for Women after being convicted on abduction charges last year, told ABC7 that DePape, 42, suffered from mental health issues. “Hello, this is Gypsy Taub. I am the ex-life partner of David DePape and the mother of his children,” Oxane “Gypsy” Taub told the local media outlet over the weekend.…

The Australian government could be paying up to AU$77 million (US$49.35 million) in vaccine injury claims over the next year, according to recently released budget estimates. In the current 2021–2022 financial year, the government has paid out just $937,000 after several hundred applications were accepted under Australia’s COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme, according to the Portfolio Budget Statement for the Department of Social Services (not the Health Department). The final number of applications is far smaller than the original 10,000 who registered their interest in November 2021. Yet the Department of Social Services estimates, in a table listed under “Third-party payments from and on behalf of other entities,”…

Arsenal reclaimed top spot in the Premier League after sweeping aside Nottingham Forest with Reiss Nelson the unlikely support act in the rout. Nelson proved a more than handy replacement for the injured Bukayo Saka with the winger, who spent last season on loan at Feyenoord, scoring two goals in three minutes at the start of the second half to propel Arsenal to their biggest win of the season. Despite lasting only 27 minutes, Saka still created the opening goal with Gabriel Martinelli heading home to cast aside any notion of travel fatigue from Mikel Arteta’s pacesetters. Nelson took full advantage of…
