The Tory leader said that the Conservative Party must accept that it made mistakes by allowing migration to hit record levels when it was in office. She said that she shared public anger over the issue and pledged to rebuild trust with voters ahead of the next election as she vowed to learn from past mistakes. In a speech in central London, Badenoch said that the Tories would look at stripping migrants of access to benefits and public services. “We have to look after the people who are in this country, the British citizens, first,” she said. “Our welfare system is not an international welfare system and we have organised it in such a way that other people are able to take advantage of it in an unaffordable manner.”Is Outlook down?

The Canada Post strike has entered its second week, with no resolution in sight yet. Though a federal mediator is attempting to broker a settlement between the Crown corporation and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, reports suggest the parties remain far apart . The strike began on Nov. 15 after Canada Post workers failed to reach an agreement with their employer. The union is seeking wage increases, secure pensions and safe working conditions, but the strike is about much more than just the pay and benefits of postal workers. Rather, the issue animating this dispute is the growth of gig work and other forms of precarious labour across the private delivery sector, and consequently, the sustainability of Canada Post in the face of this low-cost competition. The strike raises important questions about how Canada should respond to the growth of the gig economy, at Canada Post and across the broader economy. Financial challenges at Canada Post Canada Post is experiencing considerable financial strain. The crown corporation has registered losses of roughly $3 billion since 2018 . It lost $748 million in 2023 and reported an additional $315 million drop in the most recent quarter. However, management and the union disagree about the causes of Canada Post’s financial woes, as well as how to resolve them. In the company’s 2023 annual report, Canada Post president and CEO Doug Ettinger called for “greater flexibility in how we deliver, how and when the service is provided, and how we cover the cost of providing the service.” Describing its current business model as “unsustainable,” the company is seeking to reduce labour costs by introducing more part-time and temporary jobs to allow delivery services on weekends. In contrast, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has pointed to Canada Post’s past investment decisions as a source of current financial strain. The union argues the company over-invested in response to a surge in parcel delivery demand, leaving it incapable of sustaining business relationships with key customers, such as Amazon. The postal worker union is opposed to what it calls the “ gigification” of work at Canada Post. Instead, the union proposes expanding Canada Post’s mandate to include additional services and open new revenue streams, such as postal banking . What the company and union do seem to agree on is the pressure low-cost delivery competitors are exerting on Canada Post . When it comes to resolving this issue, however, there is little agreement. Low-cost competition and gig work With demand for its mail services falling, parcel delivery now accounts for a larger portion of Canada Post’s business. But the latter sector is increasingly dominated by low-cost firms that engage workers through subcontracting and other forms of precarious employment. These firms have cut into the postal service’s market share. Large e-commerce firms, such as Amazon, do not employ their delivery drivers directly. Instead, they rely on an ecosystem of “delivery service partners” working solely with Amazon. Competition for contracts and strict price-setting rules compel these delivery firms to compete by keeping pay and other labour costs low. Many private delivery firms classify their workers as “ independent contractors ,” paying them by the delivery rather than by the hour and evading work regulations like overtime pay, and maximum daily and weekly work rules. While companies engaging gig workers can drive down their labour expenses, the costs are displaced onto society more broadly. Research from Canada and the United States suggests gig companies avoid paying millions of dollars in payroll taxes and workers’ compensation premiums. This not only deprives workers of protections, but also drains revenues from vital social benefit programs, such as unemployment insurance. Read more: Gig platform workers need better health and well-being protections Workers themselves also bear costs. Independent contractor workers are unable to unionize and collectively bargain . Instead of company vehicles, many contractors use their own, personally covering gas, maintenance and repair expenses. Health and safety regulations are virtually non-existent and compensation is limited for workers injured on the job. Delivery firms utilizing such work arrangements compete with Canada Post largely on the basis of low labour costs sustained by denying workers access to benefits and protections. Governments failed to regulate gig economy A recent study from Statistics Canada found that 871,000 people had a job consistent with characteristics of the gig economy, while another 1.5 million engaged in gig work of some type during the study’s reference period. These figures have grown steadily over the last several years. Labour scholars have long warned that allowing gig and platform work to expand would undermine labour standards and regulations . Left unchecked, poorly paid and precarious forms of work generate a race to the bottom. Because governments across the country have permitted various forms of poorly regulated gig work to spread , many unionized workers now find themselves in pitched battles with employers seeking concessions in the name of competition. Read more: Workers in the gig economy feel lonely and powerless The Canadian Union of Postal Workers itself is affiliated with Gig Workers United , a group seeking to organize gig workers and advocating for worker-friendly policy changes. Had governments responded to the gig economy by guaranteeing employment status to all workers, reforming labour laws to facilitate greater access to unionization and cracking down on employee misclassification, fewer union members would likely be facing pressure to lower their standards and expectations. By introducing only minimal reforms, as Ontario and British Columbia have done, governments set the stage for labour strife between union members trying to defend their relatively better pay and working conditions, and employers squeezed by unfair competition. Whether the Canadian Union of Postal Workers is able to win its demand and protect members’ past gains remains to be seen. But until governments address the proliferation of gig work through meaningful regulation, we are likely to see similar disputes.

British households’ disposable income fell in October and rising inflation may subdue spending this Christmas, supermarket group Asda said on Monday. Publishing its monthly Income Tracker survey, produced with the Centre for Economics and Business Research, Asda said after paying all taxes and essential bills the average UK household saw its disposable income fall by 1.98 pounds ($2.49) in October, leaving it with 247 pounds ($310) per week. The fall for only the second time this year reflected a 2.3% rise in inflation in October, which was primarily driven by higher energy prices. “These increased energy prices will persist over the rest of Q4, leading to slightly dampened spending power over the festive period,” Sam Miley, managing economist and forecasting lead at CEBR, said. Official data last week showed UK retail sales fell by much more than expected in October, adding to other signs of a loss of momentum in the economy in the run-up to the first budget of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s new government on Oct. 30. Asda’s survey contrasts with recent reports from major UK retailers that have been fairly upbeat about prospects in the run-up to Christmas. Department store John Lewis said it was “quietly optimistic”, budget fashion retailer Primark ABF.L said it expected good trading, while both clothing and food retailer Marks & Spencer MKS.L and supermarkets Tesco TSCO.L Sainsbury’s SBRY.L have forecast strong festive performances. However, last week sportswear retailer JD Sports Fashion JD.L warned annual profit would come in at the lower end of its guided range after a tough October of discounting, mild weather and consumer caution.

Election results on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean have set the background for the final stretch of campaigning for Irish parties ahead of polling day on Friday. Donald Trump’s presidential election victory in the US has brought heightened concern that his administration’s proposals around corporation tax and tariffs would significantly impact Ireland’s economic model. Mr Harris, leader of Fine Gael, has argued Ireland and other EU countries need to prepare for the possibility of trade shocks as he criticised the scale of Sinn Fein’s spending pledges as well as their saving plans. He said: “I think that is irresponsible, I think it is dangerous and I think it is reckless.” He accused Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald of not being able to say what her party was prepared to do in the event of an economic crash, adding that Fine Gael would borrow and stop putting money towards a rainy-day fund. Asked if the party was engaging in “project fear” to dissuade voters against Sinn Fein, Mr Harris said: “I call it ‘project truth’. It’s telling people what’s being discussed right across European capitals.” Ms McDonald told an RTE interview on Wednesday morning that a Sinn Fein government would also be prepared to start borrowing in the event of an economic downturn. Both Mr Harris and Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin, who were partners in the last coalition government in Ireland, have made clear they will not countenance Sinn Fein as a potential partner in the next administration in Dublin. One day after the only three-way debate featuring the leaders of the main parties, Mr Martin accused Sinn Fein of being “dishonest” about how they will fund their manifesto plans. Speaking in Dublin on Wednesday, he said he is anxious to get clarity on the issue. “I think Sinn Fein have been very dishonest, frankly, in terms of the funds, because if you go through their figures, and this is a matter of fact, not opinion, they’re predicting a surplus of a billion in 2026, a billion in 2027. “Even in 2025, they’re talking about a mini budget, which would mean reducing the surplus that we’re anticipating in 2025. “There’s a legislative obligation now on any new government to put 0.8% of GDP to one side, and into the funds. There’s no way you can do that with a surplus of a billion in 2026 or 2027, and we would argue they would not have enough funds next year either to put into the funds.” He added: “It means they have no room to manoeuvre if things go wrong, if there’s headwinds come externally, or there are shocks internationally, Sinn Fein is not allowing any headroom at all in terms of room to respond or to move it.” Ms McDonald accused the other two parties of conspiring to keep Sinn Fein out of government and prevent change in Ireland. She said the two men were now “indistinguishable” from each other as she claimed they were suffering “acute amnesia” in regard to their records in government. On a visit to Naas fire station in Co Kildare, she said: “To listen to them, you’d imagine they had just arrived on the scene and that they were going to come up with all of these solutions. “They have had ample chances, ample opportunity, to make things better, and they have failed, and in between the two of them I make the case that now we ask for our chance, with our plans, with our team, to demonstrate how change can happen, how your community, your family, yourself, can be supported when the government is actually on your side.” Mr Martin’s and Mr Harris’ coalition partner Roderic O’Gorman, the leader of the Greens, issued a warning to the public over a future government without his party. On Wednesday, he said it is looking likely that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael will be returned to government – but cautioned they may not want the Greens to continue “fighting hard” on policies. He told reporters: “My sense is certainly the mood music from Fianna Fail and Fine Gael is that they’d like an easier life in the next government – and my concern is they use these small populist parties and right-wing independents.” Mr O’Gorman argued that the Greens could continue to provide stability to government at a time when economic shocks may be around the corner. As the Green leader suggested that relying on independents would be unstable, Mr Martin has also argued that “too much fragmentation would lead to incoherence in government”. Reflecting on Tuesday night’s debate, the Fianna Fail leader said the race remained “too close to call” while Mr Harris said it is “all to play for”. The leaders of Ireland’s three main political parties clashed on housing, healthcare and financial management in the last televised debate before Friday’s General Election. The tetchy debate, which was marked by several interruptions, saw the parties set out their stalls in a broadcast that commentators said did little to move the dial before polling day. The latest opinion poll on Monday put the parties in a tight grouping, with Fianna Fail slightly ahead of Sinn Fein, and Fine Gael in a close third after a significant slide in a campaign marked with several hiccups for Mr Harris’s party. After the 2020 general election delivered an inconclusive result, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, two parties forged from opposing sides of Ireland’s Civil War of the 1920s, agreed to set aside almost a century of animosity and share power – with the Greens as a junior partner. From 2016 to 2020, Fianna Fail had supported Fine Gael in power through a confidence-and-supply arrangement from the Opposition benches in the Dail parliament. Sinn Fein won the popular vote in 2020 but a failure to run enough candidates meant it did not secure sufficient seats in the Dail to give it a realistic chance of forming a government.

According to the statement: “The earlier statement announcing the approval of free bus services by the Executive Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo, should be disregarded. “The governor is being briefed on issues surrounding the operation of the State-owned Edo City Transport Service (ECTS), operators of the free bus services. “For now, the free bus services have been placed on hold.

JonBenet Ramsey, who competed in beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her family’s home in the college town of Boulder the day after Christmas in 1996. Her body was found several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note had been left behind. The details of the crime and video footage of JonBenet competing in pageants propelled the case into one of the highest-profile mysteries in the United States. The police comments came as part of their annual update on the investigation, a month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenet’s killing. Police said they released it a little earlier due to the increased attention on the case, apparently referring to the three-part Netflix series “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey.” In a video statement, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said the department welcomes news coverage and documentaries about the killing of JonBenet, who would have been 34 this year, as a way to generate possible new leads. He said the department is committed to solving the case but needs to be careful about what it shares about the investigation to protect a possible future prosecution. “What I can tell you though, is we have thoroughly investigated multiple people as suspects throughout the years and we continue to be open-minded about what occurred as we investigate the tips that come into detectives,” he said. The Netflix documentary focuses on the mistakes made by police and the “media circus” surrounding the case. JonBenet was bludgeoned and strangled. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever prosecuted. Police were widely criticized for mishandling the early investigation into her death amid speculation that her family was responsible. However, a prosecutor cleared her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother Burke in 2008 based on new DNA evidence from JonBenet’s clothing that pointed to the involvement of an “unexplained third party” in her slaying. The announcement by former district attorney Mary Lacy came two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. Lacy called the Ramseys “victims of this crime.” John Ramsey has continued to speak out for the case to be solved. In 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado’s governor to intervene in the investigation by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing in the case. In the Netflix documentary, he said he has been advocating for several items that have not been prepared for DNA testing to be tested and for other items to be retested. He said the results should be put through a genealogy database. In recent years, investigators have identified suspects in unsolved cases by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes and to DNA testing results shared online by people researching their family trees. In 2021, police said in their annual update that DNA hadn’t been ruled out to help solve the case, and in 2022 noted that some evidence could be “consumed” if DNA testing is done on it. Last year, police said they convened a panel of outside experts to review the investigation to give recommendations and determine if updated technologies or forensic testing might produce new leads. In the latest update, Redfearn said that review had ended but that police continue to work through and evaluate a “lengthy list of recommendations” from the panel. Amy Beth Hanson contributed to this report from Helena, Montana.

Aaron Rodgers is feeling healthy and will be the New York Jets' starting quarterback as long as that remains the case. Whether he's in the huddle beyond this season is still to be decided — by the Jets and Rodgers. “Football life is interesting because there’s no guarantees,” Rodgers said Wednesday. "Even with injuries, obviously, with contract situations, with age, with coaching changes, new scheme possibly, new system. There’s a lot of unknowns, so that stuff is out of my control. “I’m just going to enjoy these times here and let the future take care of itself.” Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Rodgers returned from the team's bye-week break appearing physically refreshed and ready to go. The quarterback was not on the Jets' injury report Wednesday for the first time since Week 4. “Definitely, as long as he’s healthy, my plan is to play him,” Ulbrich said. “And I know talking to him, that’s the way he wants to do it, too.” Rodgers, who turns 41 on Monday, has dealt with various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, sprained ankle and balky hamstring. And that’s after coming off a torn Achilles tendon in the same leg that limited him to just four snaps last season. “He’s doing better today than he has for quite a while now,” Ulbrich said. “After my conversations with him the last five or six weeks, he has felt healthier today than he’s felt in that time span.” That echoes what Rodgers said during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, when he said he “feels good.” Rodgers said he's still contemplating whether he wants to play football next season, but would prefer it be with the Jets if he does return. He reiterated that Wednesday after practice and explained why his tone has changed a bit from a few weeks ago when he said “I think so, yeah,” when he was asked if he planned to play next year. “If you look at what transpired in those two weeks, Joe (Douglas) got axed,” Rodgers said, referring to the Jets' former general manager who was fired last week. "Joe brought me in here. There’s uncertainty with, you know, everybody on the staff, so I’m not naive to what the situation is. And if a new GM comes in and they don’t retain Brick, I have to fit in those plans, so that’s kind of the first part. “Like I said, on ”The Pat McAfee Show," this is my first option. I’d love to play here if I end up deciding to play. But there’s got to be a want for them to want to bring me back, and for me to want to play. But ‘I think so’ was the truth, and ‘I’m not 100% sure’ is also the truth today." Rodgers, who is having a subpar season statistically, has been noticeably affected by his leg ailments — and that's something that could be much improved starting Sunday against Seattle. “I’m super excited about getting him going, whether it’s the keepers, the boots, a little bit more quarterback movement,” Ulbrich said. “Taking advantage of the stuff that he’s done at a Hall of Fame level his entire career. So, excited to see a healthier version of Aaron out there.” There was some speculation that the Jets, who are 3-8 and close to falling mathematically out of the playoff hunt, could opt to sit Rodgers in favor of Tyrod Taylor with his playing future uncertain. “He is a very prideful person,” Ulbrich said. “He wants to finish this thing off right. He wants to celebrate this team that we have and have a good taste in our mouths as we leave this season.” Rodgers has been very complimentary of Ulbrich as a leader, saying he's “definitely all-in” on the interim coach and would like to see him get the full-time job for next season. “Again, that’s out of my control,” Rodgers said. "I mean, I’m not going to say Brick or nothing. I need to see how I’m feeling. Obviously, I would love to play for Brick again. He’s a fantastic human being, but there’s a lot of things that can change in the next six weeks. “There could be some really good feelings coming out of this or there could be wholesale changes — and I might be a part of that.” Those changes could include two coaches Rodgers is closest with in offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and passing game coordinator Todd Downing. “Them not being here would not be a deal breaker for me,” Rodgers said, “although I obviously love them.” Owner Woody Johnson is using The 33rd Team, with former GMs Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman leading the project, to identify and analyze candidates for the Jets' coach and GM searches. Rodgers is unsure if Johnson will seek his input on those decisions. “I’m always available if my opinion is wanted, but I’m going to focus on playing right now,” Rodgers said. “If I get drawn in those conversations, fantastic. If I don’t, that’s fantastic, too.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
