British finance minister Rishi Sunak warned that a further lockdown would cripple both the economy and society, in an interview with The Sun newspaper, stating that lockdowns have a very strong economic and social impact. “Having a difficult economy has an impact on both our ability to fund public services like the NHS but also on individual people’s long-term health outcomes,” Sunak said, according to the newspaper bit.ly/3jxkj5k. Sunak spoke about his dissatisfaction with the 10 pm curfew on pubs and restaurants saying that, “Of course it’s frustrating. I know it’s difficult and wish we didn’t have to do these things.”…

Stocks rose on Monday as signs that President Donald Trump’s health was improving eased some of the political uncertainty caused by his coronavirus infection, which sent investors rushing for safety last week.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has responded to England manager Gareth Southgate’s comments about managing Harry Kane’s workload by saying he will not play the striker in any of the football club’s friendlies. With fixtures coming thick and fast for Spurs, Mourinho had called on Southgate to protect Kane by not playing him in all of England’s upcoming games, including a friendly with Wales and Nations League matches against Belgium and Denmark in October. Southgate had hit back, saying concerns over Kane’s fitness worked both ways. He urged Mourinho to ensure the England captain was in good shape for Euro…

Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheal Martin said on Friday Britain must respect Brexit arrangements for the sensitive Irish border as this week’s talks between the bloc and London failed to close the gaps on a new trade deal. The EU launched a legal case against Britain on Thursday for undercutting their divorce deal and a senior UK minister said differences remained in talks on a post-Brexit partnership in everything from trade to energy to transport. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was expected to talk on the phone with the head of the EU’s executive, Ursula von der Leyen, on Saturday to…

One of France’s top chefs on Thursday urged fellow restaurant and bar owners to protest against the possible closure of their establishments, as the government considers tightening rules to control a second coronavirus wave. Double Michelin-starred Philippe Etchebest, who frequently appears on TV cooking shows, pressed restaurateurs and their staff to stand on the street outside their venues on Friday before lunch service and make some noise. “We will not die in silence,” he said on BFM television. “The government must understand that restaurants are not to blame for COVID and that closing our venues only moves the problem elsewhere,”…

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves ended a statewide mask mandate on Wednesday as the number of COVID-19 cases have fallen in recent weeks to less than half of what they were at the peak of the pandemic in August. The Magnolia State was one of 33 states in the union – not counting Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, who also instituted the mandate – to require its citizens to wear facial coverings. But the governor said he will still require people to wear face coverings in schools to curb the spread of the coronavirus. ‘We should not use the heavy…

The flow of financial services between the European Union and Britain will be less fluid from January whatever happens in talks on a future free trade deal, the EU’s financial services chief designate said on Friday. Britain left the EU last January and unfettered access to the single market under transition arrangements ends on Dec. 31. Brussels and London are in talks on a free trade agreement, though financial services are being handled separately. “Under all circumstances, deal or no deal, trading in financial services will be different and less fluid as of the first of January next year,” Mairead…

The European Union on Thursday launched a legal case against Britain over its new Internal Market Bill that undercuts London’s earlier legal commitments under its Brexit divorce treaty, the head of the bloc’s executive said. Such so-called infringements could lead to hefty fines being imposed by the EU’s top court but that takes years, leaving plenty of time for the UK to change tack. London now has one month now to reply to a formal letter of complaint from the Commission, which will then assess whether the answer is satisfactory and can then request that the UK falls back in…
