The Frome and East Somerset MP tells Ben Gartside how she is returning to Parliament more determined than ever to be heard When Anna Sabine finished a routine media appearance on Politics Live in the spring, she returned to her office and received an email that would prove life-changing. Her parliamentary assistant warned her that they had been sent a “really weird” email, and they couldn’t be sure it was legitimate. “It wasn’t even a constituent. It was a random man. I was…

3 min read5 hr A Conservative-run council is lobbying the government to increase housing benefit, just as party leader Kemi Badenoch pledges to cut it. Local Housing Allowance (LHA) limits how much Universal Credit is paid to private renters. It is meant to cover the cheapest 30 per cent of private sector rents in each area, with claimants whose rent is higher paying the shortfall themselves.

Against this background, here are two Canadian stocks retirees can probably hold…

Undoubtedly, never selling isn’t realistic, especially when unforeseen financial emergencies hit. But, either way, I think that going into the stock-hunting process with such an extended time horizon in mind could be the key to building seriously impressive wealth over time. In a time when it’s become fun, exciting, and perhaps even instantly rewarding to trade in and out of stocks, especially as a technological trend like AI (some consider it to be…

“You don’t win friends with salad.” That’s a classic Homer Simpson line referring to his plan to host a barbecue where he cooks an entire pig, which horrifies his vegetarian daughter Lisa. In reality, however, there’s some truth to what Homer Simpson says. Restaurants based around salad, including Salad and Go, which closed all its locations after a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, and Planta, a vegan chain that liquidated after a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, have struggled. There’s actually strong business logic behind why these chains failed and other are struggling, according to “How Major Restaurant Chains Plan Their Menus,”…
