UK autumn spending statement set for November 22

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:43:50 GMT

LONDON — Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will set out the U.K.’s next tax and spend plan on November 22, he confirmed Tuesday.The autumn statement is one of two fiscal events delivered every year in the British parliament, alongside the main budget which came in the spring. Hunt told MPs Tuesday the statement will take place next month.Hunt will use the speech to update MPs on the state of the U.K. economy, and set out any changes to tax policy or new public spending commitments. The statement will come alongside an economic and fiscal forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility watchdog.The Chancellor faces pressure from some Conservative backbenchers to introduce tax cuts before next year’s general election — something he has indicated is unlikely, amid efforts from the government to meet Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s pledge to halve U.K. inflation from its high of ten percent by the end of the year. His announcement comes after the Office of National Statistics rev...

LGBTQ+ volleyball champion hits a nerve in Turkey’s culture war

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:43:50 GMT

Turkey’s women volleyballers may have won the European championship on Sunday but the presence of a prominent LGBTQ+ star in the team has reopened the country’s bitterly divisive culture war.The storm over 1.96m-tall Ebrar Karakurt is one of the most high-profile tests of the country’s social direction since President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won re-election at the end of May on a conservative Islamist platform, in which he repeatedly pledged to protect traditional families from the “deviant structures” and “virus of heresy” represented by the LGBTQ+ community.Although Erdoğan himself congratulated the team — nicknamed the “Sultans of the Net” —  there has been a tide of invective on social media, and the government is accused of doing little to defend Karakurt from widespread homophobic attacks from the country’s Islamist camp.  A video, filmed a day after the volleyballers claimed victory in the final against Serbia, showed a woman angrily shouting on a bus: “You...

The Patriots traded for a former 310-pound tight end. How will they use him?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:43:50 GMT

The opposing coaches used to gawk.Stand and gawk.Sometimes point, or deliberate how or why or what. But mostly, standing at the 50-yard line, they gawked.It was the way this 310-pound menace snapped off his routes in pregame warmups, cradled passes and manhandled his blocking assignments. Every movement so smooth and under control. He carried a gravity of attention, like the tallest kid in school.Except in 2018, new Patriots offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. was neither the tallest, nor the heaviest at Stony Brook, a small FCS program on Long Island. He was simply the most mystifying.How did a 6-foot-6, 310-pound person play tight end? And why didn’t he play offensive line?Five years ago, Wheatley Jr. transformed Stony Brook’s offense upon arrival, despite showing up late to training camp with an injury and zero experience. He immediately mastered the playbook and tilted it toward a two-tight end system. Wheatley had transferred from Michigan, where he caught six pass...
