Boris Johnson allies accused of putting ‘improper pressure’ on probe into his conduct

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 03:50:28 GMT

LONDON — Boris Johnson and seven of his close allies put “improper pressure” on the House of Commons privileges committee as it investigated his knowledge of multiple coronavirus rule-breaking parties in government, a cross-party group of MPs ruled Thursday.In a damning follow-up report to its investigation on whether Johnson misled the House of Commons, the privileges committee singled out Johnson allies Nadine Dorries, Zac Goldsmith, Michael Fabricant, Brendan Clarke-Smith, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Andrea Jenkyns, and Priti Patel, accusing them of joining a “co-ordinated campaign to interfere with the work of the Committee.”It listed a series of tweets and broadcast comments from these Johnson allies which it said marked “disturbing examples of the co-ordinated campaign to interfere with the work of the committee.”Referencing chairman Harriet Harman, the special report also said that there had been “sustained attempts to undermine and challenge the impartiality of the cha...

All of Labour leader Keir Starmer’s screeching U-turns in one place

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 03:50:28 GMT

LONDON — Fancy a fetching pair of Keir Starmer brand flip-flops? Britain’s Conservatives — and their enthusiastic chairman Greg Hands — have kept tabs on the mounting number of high-profile U-turns from the opposition Labour leader, who looks likely to lead the country’s next government.While some see a willingness to sheer off unappealing or unrealistic bits of Labour’s program after a colossal defeat under Jeremy Corbyn in 2019, others cry sellout as an opposition leader who once loyally served Corbyn shifts to unashamed centrist. As the next U.K. election approaches, POLITICO has collated all of the Starmer U-turns so far in one place — and you may want to check for updates. Caveat alert: Britain’s Tories also love a good U-turn.Bye Angela. Hi AngelaIn a botched reshuffle following disappointing local election results and a major by-election defeat in Hartlepool, Starmer attempted to clip the wings of his deputy leader Angela Rayner, seen as being on the l...

Sumner Tunnel shutdown will back up traffic for miles, state highway chief says

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 03:50:28 GMT

State transportation officials are urging residents to “ditch the drive” during the impending two-month Sumner Tunnel shutdown, saying that there will be times when traffic could be backed up for miles.Instead, leaders from the Department of Transportation, MBTA, and Massport, the latter of which owns and operates Logan Airport, are telling people to take public transit, pointing to the state’s efforts to reduce, or in some cases, eliminate the cost of these alternative transportation services.Based on past projects of a similar size, “you could see multi-mile backup depending on the time of the day,” MassDOT Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver said at a Wednesday press conference.“This is by far the most impactful project we’ve taken on in some time, and the impacts will be evident and immediate around the project area,” Gulliver said at Wonderland Station in Revere, which is part of the MBTA’s Blue Line, a subway service that will be free for the entirety of the two-month clos...

Federal Reserve may tighten financial rules after US bank failures, Powell says

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 03:50:28 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that the central bank may have to tighten its oversight of the American financial system in the wake of the failure of three large U.S. banks this spring.Powell said in prepared remarks delivered at a banking conference in Madrid that tougher regulations put in place after the 2007-2008 financial crisis have made large multinational banks much more resilient to widespread loan defaults, such as the bursting of the housing bubble that led to that crisis. But the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank exposed different vulnerabilities that the Fed will likely address through new proposals, Powell said. He did not provide details, but other Fed officials have said banks should be required to hold more capital in reserve to guard against loan losses.Such proposals are likely to face resistance from the banking industry and some congressional Republicans, who argue that the Fed had the ne...
