US election 'interference' row awkward for Starmer if Trump wins

| UK Politics
The Trump-Vance campaign accuses the UK Labour Party of interfering in the US election by supporting Kamala Harris, demanding an investigation. Labour's Sofia Patel's LinkedIn post about sending volunteers to the US sparked Republican backlash. US law allows foreign volunteers if unpaid, and there's no evidence of Labour's financial involvement. Historical precedents exist for cross-party support. Despite accusations, Labour insists no laws were broken, and UK-US relations remain stable. The article highlights ongoing political tensions and the potential impact on future US-UK relations.

Reynolds also advocates for tax incentives on affordable housing and VAT relief on greening homes, aiming for both immediate growth and long-term stability in the construction industry.

The article discusses the impact of 14 years of Tory rule on UK universities, highlighting a crisis in higher education funding and the decline in international student numbers.

| Legislation
The UK Parliament has approved a historic plan to create a 'smoke-free' generation by gradually increasing the legal age for tobacco purchases, aiming to eradicate smoking among young people by 2040. The legislation, which still requires approval from the House of Lords, has sparked debate within the ruling Conservative Party, with some members opposing it as an infringement on personal freedoms. The bill also seeks to restrict vaping among young people. The initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce smoking-related diseases and deaths, aligning with similar measures in countries like New Zealand, Portugal, and Mexico.

Donald Trump has accused the UK's Labour Party of conspiring with Kamala Harris to interfere in the US election, claiming illegal contributions and foreign interference. The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, although such claims are unlikely to result in action. The Labour Party's involvement is part of a tradition of foreign volunteers in US elections, and Trump's allegations may be aimed at rallying voter emotions. The situation could impact UK-US relations, as recent efforts to build ties with Trump may be overshadowed by these accusations.

UK borrows more money ahead of expected tax cuts
21 Nov 2023
|
www.euronews.com

English
| Public Borrowing
The UK government borrowed £14.9 billion in October, marking the second highest October borrowing in 30 years. Between April and October, public sector borrowing reached £98.3 billion, which is £22 billion more than the same period last year but £17 billion less than predicted by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Financial analysts suggest this could provide Chancellor Jeremy Hunt with some flexibility for pre-election tax cuts. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak indicated a focus on tax reductions following a slowdown in inflation and stronger tax revenues. However, concerns remain about the UK's economic growth and rising public debt, which now stands at over £2.6 trillion.
