Tube strikes called off after union talks

Planned strikes on the London Underground have been suspended following talks over pay between the Aslef union and Transport for London (TfL).

Industrial action was due to begin on Thursday and a walkout was also planned for next Tuesday.

Aslef said it had been given a "significantly improved" pay offer by London Underground management and it would discuss that offer with union members on Thursday.

Claire Mann, from TfL, said: “We believe we have made an offer to our trade unions that is fair, affordable, good for our colleagues and good for London and we urge our trade unions to continue working with us.”

Ex-actor freed from prison under early-release plan ‘actively evading arrest’

Police are appealing for help tracking down an inmate freed from jail who is on the run.

Jason Hoganson, 53, whose face and neck are covered in tattoos, was freed last month under Sir Keir Starmer’s prisoner-release scheme to free up space in overcrowded jails.

Hoganson, an actor who starred in cult 1987 film Empire State, had been serving an 18-month sentence.

The day after being let out from Durham prison, on 10 September, he was arrested in Newcastle on suspicion of two counts of breaching a restraining order and one count of assault.

Now officers say he is wanted for recall to prison for breaching his licence conditions.

Northumbria Police said he was believed to be “actively evading arrest” and that he could be anywhere in the force area or County Durham.

“Anyone who sees Hoganson should not approach him and instead contact us immediately,” the force said.

“Please be aware that harbouring a wanted person is an offence and those involved could face prosecution.”

Has Starmer finally found the best way to stop the small boats?

The simplest way would be to stop putting them up in hotels and giving them financial payments.

American energy firm pulls out of Labour's high-tax Britain - 'Uneconomic!'

AUS oil firm has blamed the impact of the windfall taxas it confirmed it will end all its operations in the North Sea by the end of the decade.

Apache, who took control of the field in Scotland in 2003, said the recent Labour Budget had made production "uneconomic."

The firm, based in Texas, suspended new all drilling activity last year in the Forties field, east of Fraserburgh.

It comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed in the Budget that the tax on oil and gas firm profits would rise and be extended to 2030.

It comes as Labour said it wanted to make the UK a "clean energy superpower" and it was asking the oil and gas sector to contribute more to that transition.

The Energy Profits Levy (EPL) the official name for the windfall tax, was introduced in May 2022 under the previous Conservative Party after energy firms recorded bumper profits due to the rise in energy prices.

Initially set at 25 per cent and due to expire in 2025, the Conservatives later raised it to 35 per cent and said it would last until March 2029.

In the recent Budget, Labour extended it to the end of the decade and raised the levy to 38 per cent meaning the total tax rate on the companies is now 78 per cent.

Rachel Reeves National Insurance tax raid forces first business to close UK factories and move abroad - 'Manufacturing in Britain will die'

ABritish manufacturing company has announced it will close its four factories following Labour's recent Budget changes - making it the first business to cease UK production due to the Chancellor's new policies.

Connectix Cabling Systems' managing director Kevin Hancock said Rachel Reeves's national insurance tax increases and minimum wage hikes have made manufacturing in Britain unsustainable.

The Essex-based company will move production to India or China, marking a significant shift for one of the country's largest cable manufacturing firms.

Connectix, which reported revenues of £50 million in 2023, specialises in manufacturing fibre optic cables for internet providers worldwide.

The company currently employs 150 people across its British factories.

While production will move overseas, the company has promised to find different roles within the organisation for affected employees.

Connectix already has indirect employment ties with approximately 400 workers in India and China, where manufacturing operations are now set to be outsourced.

Hancock, 56, founded Connectix in 1993 at the age of 25, building the company from humble beginnings.

"I was born in the 1960s and grew up in a council house," he told The Telegraph.

"I was from a poor background and we suffered under Labour's power cuts and the three-day week in the 1970s."

‘Smash the gangs won’t work’: Home Office officials doubt Labour small boats plan

Home Office officials do not believe Labour’s plan to “smash the gangs” will work as a way of bringing down illegal migration to the UK, i can reveal.

They say that civil servants in the department have been “underwhelmed” by the approach that was being outlined again this week by Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

The insiders say “nobody” understands how the much-vaunted Border Security Command – that the Government says will take the lead on combatting people smugglers running small boats – will operate.

i has been told that there is “cynicism” within the department about whether the command will be any more successful than previous units operated under the Conservatives.

Hotel tycoon scraps £20m UK investment - and says it's all Rachel Reeves' fault

A British tycoon has cancelled a £20m investment in his business - and has blamed Chancellor Rachel Reeves for his decision.

Entrepreneur Steve Perez said that the proposed changes to inheritance tax after his death did not provide much incentive to expand his businesses.

Mr Perez hoped to install a new canning line at his drinks factory in Chesterfield, Derbyshire - which he claims would have created 50 jobs there.

He also recently gained planned permission to add more than two dozen new bedrooms and a spa to his Peak Edge hotel, which is just outside the town.

However, proposals in the 2024 Budget to change inheritance tax relief mean he has stopped the expansions.

Under the previous system, properties used for business could be passed down to descendants without any inheritance tax.

However, from April 2026 any property worth more than £1million will have to pay a 20% levy.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Mr Perez said he had "absolutely stopped' the work and 'would be crazy' to go ahead.

Slamming the Budget as "anti-entrepreneurs, anti-business", he added: "What this is going to mean is insecurity for the working person in my business because once I die, their jobs are on hold.

"The business may well be sold so straight away - that gives them insecurity rather than security."

Responding to the Telegraph, a HM Treasury spokesperson said the government is committed to delivering economic growth by boosting investment in Britain.

They added: "With our public services crumbling, a £22bn fiscal black hole from the previous government, and 53pc of Business Property Relief going to the 4pc wealthiest claimants, we had to make difficult choices to fix the foundations of the country and restore desperately needed economic stability to allow businesses to thrive.

"By doing this, more than half of employers will either see a cut or no change in their National Insurance bills, there will be £22.6bn more for the NHS, and workers' payslips will be protected from higher tax."

Huge boost for Kemi Badenoch as first poll of leadership shows Tories beating Labour

Anew poll has found that the Tories have overtaken Labour in the polls after Kemi Badenoch was elected Conservative leader just over a week ago.

The poll by More in Common, published this morning, finds that the Tories have received a three-point boost in the past week, leapfrogging Labour into first place.

The Conservatives are now on 29%, with Labour down one point to 27%.

Meanwhile the LibDems have taken a hit, down three points, with Reform UK up one point to 19%.

The Greens remain steady on 8%.

According to Electoral Calculus, if these results were played out in a general election tomorrow the Tories would be on course to gain 125 seats, however Labour would still be the largest party.

Sir Keir would be forced to do a deal with the Liberal Democrats, with Labour losing its majority and 119 seats.
