Rachel Reeves is acting as if she’s been reluctantly forced to act by events beyond her control. It’s all the fault of the Tories, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Vladimir Putin, Liz Truss… anybody but our actual, literal Chancellor. Don’t believe it. This Budget belongs to her, as the last one did. Her fingerprints are all over it.Reeves and PM Keir Starmer crushed a recovering economy the moment they started banging on about the need for huge tax hikes straight after the election. Something they strangely forgot to mention during the campaign. Households and businesses took fright, and they were right.…

The newer cohort of parliamentarians are among those said to be discussing the idea of a future coup, according to the i Paper. This comes as the Prime Minister extends an olive branch to the rebellious backbenchers and welcomes four MPs who had their whip suspended, back into the fold. Neil Duncan-Jordan, Chris Hinchliff, Brian Leishman and Rachael Maskell had the whip suspended in July.Following discussions with chief whip Jonathan Reynolds on Friday, they are all understood to have returned to the…

OUR POWER (2.40) can kick in the turbo for in-form Sam Thomas in the William Hill Grand Sefton Handicap Chase at Aintree.The last four runners sent out by the trainer and 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning jockey on chasing legend Denman have won.My selection has been wonderfully consistent in quality handicaps at around three miles over the past couple of seasons.But the drop down to 2m 5f, in a race where plenty like to go forward, could be a shrewd move by Cardiff-based Thomas.It has surely been on his mind ever since Our Power jumped for fun in the 2023 Grand…

From fiery reds and burnt oranges in quiet woodlands to majestic tree-lined avenues and formal gardens displaying a riot of vibrant shades, there is no doubt the English countryside comes into its own at this time of year.Thanks to plentiful sunshine from a record-beating summer, the colours are expected to last well into November and beyond in 2025, which is being called “a mast year” – a phenomenon in which certain tree species produce unusually high numbers of nuts and…

I’ve been writing about consumer technology for over 14 years, and one of my biggest bugbears has long been excessive price rises for broadband and phone contracts. Take your eye off the ball, and a cheap deal that you signed up for 18 months ago can suddenly become very, very expensive.
