House Republicans pushed back against President Joe Biden’s recently announced American Climate Corps, saying the administration should work through the legislative process, not executive orders, as was done for this project.

This initiative, announced as part of the Investing in America…

It had been difficult to locate any pre-match optimism around Manchester United. The club has sunk so low, so quickly in the early weeks of the season that it was almost as if their supporters would accept a defeat without humiliation on their Champions League return. It was what they got. There were flickers from United in the opening quarter of the tie and the tonic of a first goal from the summer signing, Rasmus Højlund, to make it 2-1 at the beginning of the second half. At least United fought until the end, something that the beleaguered Erik ten Hag…

She commended the prime minister for making “difficult decisions” before his expected move to weaken environmental policies. Ford, alongside other carmakers, has criticised the move. Its UK chair, Lisa Brankin, said: “Our business…

Who can stop Manchester City retaining the Champions League? This is a question many will ponder and for which Red Star Belgrade had no answer. By the end of this opening group game that is. Because, 45 minutes in, Serbia’s champions of the past six years led and threatened to do what Lyon were the last to do five years ago to the day: defeat Pep Guardiola’s side, in Europe, at their home. Yet City are the masters of refusing to be beaten and so cue two Julián Álvarez strikes minutes into the second half which overturned Red Star’s advantage, broke them,…

A review by the financial regulator said that no banks reported that they had closed accounts primarily due to someone’s political views. On Tuesday, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said the evidence it has gathered “suggests that no firm closed an account between July 2022 and June 2023 primarily because of a customer’s political views.” It said that “by far” the most common reasons providers gave for closing, suspending, or declining an account were “because it was inactive/dormant or because there were concerns about financial crime.” Anger The probe was launched in July after former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage had his…

A local inquiry will be launched in “due course” to understand how Birmingham got to this position and the options moving forward, Mr. Gove added, as he addressed the House of Commons on Tuesday. At the beginning of September, Birmingham council issued a Section 114 notice, after it failed to settle a £760 million bill on equal pay claims. It announced the termination of all new spending, with the exception of protecting vulnerable people and statutory services.…
