Rishi Sunak is set to ditch his flagship Conservative leadership campaign pledges, as No 10 admitted there would be a review to assess whether they were still “deliverable” as a result of the worsening economic backdrop. It means Sunak is likely to abandon key promises on immigration in a week when both the prime minister and the home secretary have come under criticism for dangerous overcrowding at an immigration centre. The prime minister’s press secretary said ministers “need to look again” at a slew of promises made over the summer during Sunak’s losing battle with Liz Truss for the Tory…

The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) confirmed Nov. 2 that it monitors cameras at the home of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)—and that the cameras were not being monitored when a man broke in on Oct. 28 and attacked Pelosi’s husband. The cameras are not “actively monitored” unless Nancy Pelosi is at home, the USCP said. The speaker was in Washington on Friday with her protective detail. Personnel at the USCP’s Command Center did not notice anything was amiss at the Pelosi residence until they noticed police activity at the home. They then “used the feeds to monitor the response and…

Mortgage rates are expected to jump on Thursday in response to the largest increase in the Bank of England’s base rate since 1989, as the central bank tries to bring down an inflation rate expected to remain in double figures until at least next spring. Marking the eighth consecutive interest rate rise, the Bank of England is expected to push the base interest rate up by 0.75 percentage points to 3% after what is likely to be a tense meeting of the monetary policy committee (MPC). With economic figures showing that Europe and the US will be in recession next year, members of…

Graham Potter has admitted Ben Chilwell’s hopes of being fit for the World Cup appear bleak after the England defender pulled up with an injury which marred Chelsea’s victory against Dinamo Zagreb. Chilwell appeared to pull his hamstring during injury time at Stamford Bridge and with England’s first match against Iran on 21 November it looks highly unlikely the defender will recover in time to be considered for Gareth Southgate’s squad. It is the latest blow for Chilwell after he injured his anterior cruciate ligament last November which had kept him out until May. When asked how serious the injury looks,…

Israelis voiced concern as the country’s former premier Benjamin Netanyahu was poised to return to power, predicting that his right-wing camp was on the cusp of a resounding election win. With roughly 70% of votes counted, Netanyahu’s conservative Likud and its likely religious and far-right allies were on pace to control a majority in parliament. Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s short-lived ruling coalition that hailed largely from the center-left appeared to collapse. “We have won a huge vote of confidence from the people of Israel,” a smiling Netanyahu told cheering supporters at his Likud party election headquarters. “We are on the…

Matt Hancock has said his decision to appear on I’m a Celebrity was motivated by a desire to showcase his “human side” and to use reality TV as a platform to “deliver important messages to the masses”. Writing in the Sun in defence of his decision, which resulted in him losing the Conservative whip on Tuesday, the former health secretary said that “although some may think I’ve lost my marbles”, he believed politicians “must wake up and embrace popular culture”. He wrote: “While there will undoubtedly be those who think I shouldn’t go, I think it’s a great opportunity to talk directly…

A Republican congressman is urging Elon Musk, Twitter’s new owner, to hand over all records related to the social media company’s suppression of a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the weeks leading to the 2020 presidential election. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said in a letter that he expects Twitter’s new leadership to cooperate with the investigation into “the Biden family’s pattern of influence peddling to enrich themselves and President Biden’s involvement in these schemes.” “As part of this investigation, Committee Republicans are reviewing the role Big Tech—including Twitter—played in supporting the Biden campaign in…

Luciano Spalletti claimed Napoli dropped their guard once they knew Liverpool would not win by the four-goal margin needed to top the group. He was correct, although that was never the priority for Jürgen Klopp given the doubts and questions circling over Liverpool’s direction. Just to inflict a first defeat of the season on the Serie A leaders was enough. Usurping Napoli at the summit of Group A never looked a possibility at Anfield but that did not prevent Klopp signalled his intent when introducing Darwin Núñez in the 73rd minute of the finale. The Uruguay international made quite the impact. First he connected…

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…
