Every household in UK to receive £400 grant to help with rising energy bills
A grant of £400 will help struggling households cope with the energy bills crisis. Previously, a £200 loan in place for UK families was expected to be paid back. Rishi Sunak announced today this would no longer be the case, and increased its sum to £400. All households with a domestic electricity connection will be automatically eligible for the grant. Mr Sunak said: ‘The outlook for energy prices has changed. I’ve decided those repayments will be cancelled. So, for the avoidance of doubt, this support is now unambiguously a grant. ‘Furthermore, we have decided that the £200 of support for household energy bills will be doubled to £400 for everyone.’ He told the Commons: ‘We are on the side of hard working families with £6 billion of financial support.’ The grant comes in the form of a council tax rebate to households. Energy suppliers will deliver the discount to households with a domestic electricity meter over six months from October.

Government approves Chelsea sale with Todd Boehly consortium set to buy club from Roman Abramovich
The UK Government has finally approved the sale of Chelsea with the Todd Boehly /Clearlake consortium now set to buy the Premier League club from Roman Abramovich. Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis Privacy Policy The £4.25 billion takeover bid was held up earlier this month after the government raised concerns that Abramovich would renege on his pledge to waive a £1. 6 bn loan . Abramovich, who bought Chelsea for £140 million in 2003, is unable to receive a single penny from the sale of the club after he was sanctioned by the government in March . The Russian oligarch had insisted that all net proceeds, believed to be the money from the sale minus legal fees, would be used ‘for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine’. Abramovich has now legally agreed for his £1.6bn loan to Chelsea to be placed in a frozen account under government control. A government spokesperson said: ‘Late last night the UK Government reached a position … [Read more...] about Government approves Chelsea sale with Todd Boehly consortium set to buy club from Roman Abramovich

A life of lurks and lies: the strange world of bankrupt, banned, jailed real estate agent Aaron Drever
David White Once a successful real estate agent, Aaron Drever's fall from grace reached its nadir when he was sentenced to two years, two months imprisonment for obtaining by deception, forgery and dishonestly using a document. Aaron Drever was a star of the real estate industry before he accumulated the most censures of any agent on record . A series of brazen – and ultimately failed – business deals followed. His chequered story left many victims, and ended in a prison sentence on Friday. National Correspondent Steve Kilgallon reports. When the Auckland District Court convened to pass sentence on Aaron Drever on July 15, he wasn’t there. Drever’s date with justice had already been deferred eight times. Now, it was nine, with his lawyer, Ron Mansfield QC, left to explain that Drever had apparently caught Covid ... again. The judge, Evangelos Thomas, observed wearily: “Not many people get it for a third time.” He demanded Drever turn up with a PCR test next time he was … [Read more...] about A life of lurks and lies: the strange world of bankrupt, banned, jailed real estate agent Aaron Drever

The drastic plans Donald Trump is already promising for a second term as president
ANALYSIS: For the first time since leaving office, former US president Donald Trump has started getting specific about what he would do if he wins a second term in the White House. The pitches he's made onstage over the past month in speeches from Washington, DC, to Dallas to Las Vegas are a stark contrast from ordinary stump speeches. He promises a break from American history if elected, with a federal government stacked with loyalists and unleashed to harm his perceived enemies. There has never been a potential candidate like Trump : a defeated former president whose followers attacked the Capitol, who still insists he never lost, and who openly pledges revenge on those he views as having wronged him. As his 2016 campaign and administration showed time and again, from the border wall to the Muslim ban, he and his aides worked furiously to translate rally slogans into official policy - whether or not there were legal or political barriers to overcome. And if Trump does … [Read more...] about The drastic plans Donald Trump is already promising for a second term as president

Labour calls for return of parliament on Monday ahead of energy price cap rise
Labour is calling for parliament to be recalled ahead of the energy price cap rise. The opposition party has written to Boris Johnson, as well as Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, to ask for MPs to return to Westminster on Monday in a bid to propose their plan to freeze the cap.
