    Healey’s first budget to include big devolution package to boost growth

    …and businesses that have struggled as the war in the Middle East has driven up bills. These higher costs have also pushed up the interest rates on government borrowing, making it harder for Healey to balance the books. He will set out how he plans to fully fund the four-year defence investment plan announced in the dying days of Keir Starmer’s premiership. However, Healey is not expected to say when the UK will commit to spending 3% of GDP on defence – an issue that was central to his resignation from Starmer’s cabinet. This is likely to be delayed until a spending review due at some point n…

    Minns accused of bypassing high court ruling with laws to allow NSW mine to increase coal production by 32%

    …pany, it’s become apparent that there are 400 jobs on the line that will go before Christmas without this intervention,” Minns said on Monday. He said if the bill passed, MACH Energy had agreed to a “jobs guarantee” to ensure that the current permanent workforce was retained until 2032. The NSW Greens climate spokesperson and environmental lawyer Sue Higginson said: “This is an incredible new low for the Minns Labor government, bypassing the planning process and the law as laid down by the high court of Australia. “One thing is clear, under Labor the coal mining giants are writing the laws,…

    Rightwing economic myths could derail Burnham’s project – to destroy them, look to Keynes

    …king the size of the state. As with “maxing out the credit card”, it forms part of the inquisition every time a minister goes on the TV or radio with a new spending measure: “That’s all very well but how are you going to pay for it?” Burnham is committed to re-industrialising Britain, but to do so he will have to break with the neoliberal convention that it is not the job of the government to pick winners. As the prime minister should point out, China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea have all built up their manufacturing strength by picking winners, and Britain could do the same. Indeed, the o…

    Healey offers upbeat vision but sheds little light on how it will be paid for

    …ll in some of his own personal story to those outside the hall less familiar with a man who, he said, had given his first Labour conference speech a full 40 years ago, in 1986. He spoke of his wife, Jackie, whom he became engaged with a fortnight after their first meeting at a Labour function, and his first job as a pot washer in a pub, which taught him the joys of a hand-pulled pint. Yet he threw little light on how he was approaching a budget now exactly a month away, other than to recommit to Reeves’s determination to balance the books, which will take more than optimism and a good story.

    As it happened: Pat McFadden tells Labour activists they should not defend benefits system ‘status quo’ because it ‘writes off’ claimants

    …d expessed doubts about the plan in the past. Again, Burnham gave a non-committal answer. Kuenssberg tried a final time and got the same reply. Q: Will you tell us something you are willing to cut to balance the books? Burnham said, if people wait unti his speech on Tuesday, they will see he is “prepared to take those type of decisions because I won’t do what the previous Conservative government did and take risks with the economy”. He said the fundamentals of the economy were moving in the right direction before the Iran war started. And he said John Healey, the chancellor, was clear about…

    There is clearly trouble ahead for Harry and Meghan on their return to the UK. Here are five ways to avert it

    …ere are many questions but very few answers: not just “why return now?” and “why so suddenly?”, but also questions of security: who pays if not themselves, given that they are not working royals? And where will the money come from to keep them in the style to which they are accustomed? The bills are mounting: not just the Daily Mail’s legal costs incurred by Harry’s ill-fated court action, but even the upkeep of their nine-bedroom Montecito mansion, which, with property taxes, mortgage and upkeep (including looking after their chickens), could cost about $80,000 (£60,000) a month. That’s to…
