I'll keep saying it. He's not up to the job of being PM of the UK as he doesn't think outside the English box. The speech appears to have gone down a storm in England. Not so in Scotland. He will make the label last PM of the UK a reality if he continues to belittle and insult the Celts.

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.

Burnham is told axing pension triple lock would be ‘electoral suicide’ as he prepares to address Labour conference – UK politics live
Union leader says getting rid of triple lock not ‘the right thing’ as the PM prepares to lay out his ‘hope comes from honesty’ vision in Liverpool this afternoon * Burnham promises to roll back privatisation with government-backed grid plan Good morning. The day after Donald Trump won his first US presidential election in 2016, Ed Miliband (at that point just an ex Labour leader) went on the World at One and gave an astute assessment of the lessons to be learnt from Trump by progressives. Trump was offering “big solutions”, he said – a theory he later fleshed out in a book called “Go Big”. Jeremy Corbyn was Labour leader at the time, and he certainly offered voters a “Go Big” vision – but for various reasons he could not persuade the electorate. But today a more mainstream Labour leader is also going to embrace “Go Big”. According to the Labour party’s overnight briefing, Andy Burnham is going to use his first conference speech as leader to set out what he will describe as “a more serious prospectus for Britain than people have been offered in a generation”. We can’t carry on as we are. Politics-as-usual has taken Britain backwards. More of the same isn’t good enough and isn’t going to get us where we need to be. Hope comes from honesty and from saying the things politicians usually avoid. Continue reading...

🚨🩺💶 A new patient allegation has emerged concerning the medical practice on Karneadou Street, with a man describing what he says was intense pressure to undergo plasma exchange, or Inuspheresis, at a cost of €6,000 per session.According to his testimony to Live News, he initially visited the practice seeking help with weight loss and was allegedly told that his blood showed signs of “femininity” and that, without the procedure, his sexual preferences could change as he grew older. He says he was subsequently encouraged to undergo three plasma exchange sessions, while also paying €1,500 for vitamins and €500 for each visit.The man claims that he ultimately paid €3,000 but refused to undergo the plasma exchange. He also alleges that he was repeatedly urged to pay in cash and was told that the treatment would address a range of health problems, including pain associated with psoriatic arthritis.The testimony is part of a wider series of allegations concerning the practice and the methods allegedly used to persuade patients to undergo costly treatments. The claims remain allegations and are subject to investigation.#GreeceNews #MedicalInvestigation #tovimacom

Ireland accuse Israel fans of racist abuse
Paul Rowan - Irish Football Correspondent, Debrecen

Idah was the subject of chants by the Israel fans
Ireland players have alleged that goalscorer Adam Idah was racially abused by Israel fans during the controversial Nations League match in Hungary on Sunday night.

According to a Football Association of Ireland (FAI) spokesman, Jayson Molumby heard the chants before halftime and the midfielder asked the German referee, Harms Osmers, and the fourth official, Florian Exner, to “listen”.

Because Uefa’s protocol in that situation is to say the word “racism”, European football’s governing body said that no immediate action — such as a warning over the PA system — was taken.

However, the FAI has now said that it will go through the footage to find out if there is any evidence of the alleged abuse and, if so, demand a Uefa investigation into the treatment of Idah, 25, who plays for Swansea City.

There were also reports of confrontations in the tunnel between players, with the Israel captain, Manor Solomon, taking exception to what some Irish players were saying and the opposition bowing their heads during the Israeli national anthem.

In an angry rant after the game, Solomon vowed to get “revenge” on Ireland when the teams meet again on Sunday.

“They said nonsense [to us] during the game, I don’t want to talk about them,” Solomon said. “If I say what I think about them, I’ll probably be banned for a few games so I don’t want to say. Of course they hate us and we don’t like them. I’m already looking forward to the next game against them. What they did with the anthem? I’m not interested in them, we have a country that is ten times better than theirs, stronger, an amazing country with amazing people.

What is the triple lock? State pension faces budget pressure
The guarantee means the state pension will rise every April by whichever is higher from inflation, average wage growth or 2.5 per cent. But the future of the triple lock is increasingly debated as the government prepares the budget on October 28, 2026. Critics have warned that the policy has significantly increased the generosity and cost of the state pension and is creating uncertainty about future public spending.
