And there’s always the continuity candidate, Reeves herself, who has been trying to cling to the job despite briefings from Burnham’s camp that she would be moved to a lesser role. Move fast, don’t break things But perhaps the biggest problem for Burnham and his choice for No. 11 will be the need for speed. A difficult budget is expected in the fall, and a countdown of economic forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility will start ticking 10 weeks before the chancellor delivers it. Curtice said it is possible to tweak some definitions under Britain’s fiscal rules to allow…

In its Annual Economic Report, published on Sunday, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), known as the central bank for central banks, warned that the enormous spending on AI is accumulating financial vulnerabilities that could amplify any future shock and spread from markets into the wider economy. Presenting the findings, BIS general manager Pablo Hernández de Cos said the message was one of “urgency”, with policymakers urged to act before any reversal makes the eventual adjustment more painful. At the core of the warning is the scale of the spending, despite massive investment having supported global growth over the past…
“Burnham won’t solve your problems, because Labour cannot solve your problems,” Farage has said. “His plan for government is to act as continuity Starmer, and hope the rest of us are too stupid to notice.” There are early attempts to chip away at his right to govern. Reform has already called for an immediate general election — a prospect Badenoch’s Tories, polling considerably worse — are resisting. Reform insiders hope he’ll run into the same fundamental problems that hobbled Starmer in office. “He’ll have a fresh look, but he won’t be able to deliver anything and will become associated with the Labour…
With the resignation of Keir Starmer, the UK is set to have its seventh prime minister in 10 years. This is a far cry from a country that was once touted for its ability to produce stable and long-lasting governments compared to other European nations, due to its first-past-the-post voting system, the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and its evolutionary tradition of governance. Since 2016, the political turmoil and polarisation that followed the Brexit referendum, frequent scandals in the previous right-wing Conservative government, and an ailing economy have meant that not a single British prime minister has managed to survive a…
Personal income tax and social security systems differ significantly across Europe, and so does the overall burden on workers’ pay. What matters most to workers, however, is how much of their salary they actually take home after taxes and compulsory deductions. To show this, Euronews Business used Eurostat data to calculate net annual earnings as a share of gross pay, producing a take-home ratio. From this, it calculated the share of gross earnings going to taxes and other deductions. In a few cases, the result is negative, meaning workers take home more than their gross earnings, due to family allowances…
Published on 29/06/2026 – 8:00 GMT+2•Updated 8:07 It’s not just the scenery that makes a trip memorable – for many travellers, it’s the people they meet along the way. New research has found that almost half of Europeans believe travel is the most effective way to start new personal relationships, as time away from daily routines leaves people feeling more open to new experiences – and new connections. The study, by travel platform WeRoad, collected information from 5,000 individuals in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. According to the data, 45% said they think travel is the best…
Published on 29/06/2026 – 10:58 GMT+2 It’s bad, it’s bad, it’s really really bad… But it’s breaking all the records. Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic has become the highest-grossing biopic in cinema history, grossing $977.4m worldwide and overtaking Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer grossed $975.8m worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo, and went on to win seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
