He brought home the details of all the spending increases – in the NHS, the care system – knitting and weaving like an overzealous undertaker’s assistant recently promoted to the most important village funeral of the year. He even announced some measures planned for after the next elections. In a recent poll, the likelihood of this happening is like accepting a post-dated check from a character in a Trollope novel, or marking your annual Christmas lunch with the Russian General Staff in your calendar with a steady biro rather than a very, very faint pencil....

On Sunday, America will experience a unique moment in its history – when a sitting president turns 80 years old. Administration aides would certainly prefer the other big family celebration at the White House this weekend — the wedding of President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi — to get most of the headlines. The political sensitivities of having an octogenarian in the Oval Office mean there’s unlikely to be any big news about the birthday — unlike when President Barack Obama turned 50 while in office and threw several parties, including one that included a mosque for re-election fundraiser with Herbie Hancock and Jennifer....

Underscoring the fragility of the economy, the chancellor delayed new austerity measures until the next election amid evidence that higher energy bills and the highest inflation in four decades will cause a prolonged recession, a 500,000 jump in unemployment and a decade of lost living standards. In a grim assessment of the economic crisis, the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) said the biggest two-year squeeze since modern records began – a cumulative drop of 7% – would wipe out the previous eight years of growth in living standards and return to their 2014 level by 2024....

Le Canadien a commencé le match souffrant d’un échec avant étouffant de Columbus qui a laissé tomber les Montréalais. Faisant preuve de résilience, le Canadien a tenté de redresser le navire, mais les chances de Columbus pendant le match annonçaient un match agressif. Lors d’une entrée de zone en territoire montréalais, Cole Schillinger a décoché un tir qui a été accidentellement dévié vers Jordan Harris. Pour le but de Schillinger, les hommes de Brad Larsen n’ont eu que deux tirs au but, dont un vers le centre américain....

Coupe du monde Que peut-on attendre des Bleus ? “Cette équipe, c’est comme lancer une grosse pièce en l’air” IL Y A 3 HEURES Rappelons que Karim Benzema n’a plus débuté de match depuis le 19 octobre, tandis que Raphaël Varane n’a plus joué une seule minute depuis le 22 octobre et une blessure à la cuisse face à Chelsea.

HISTOIRE – Les sbires du chef Insoumis accusent le député de la Somme de jouer trop pour lui-même. Comme pour éteindre un départ d’incendie, François Ruffin a posté un tweet jeudi matin : « A l’intérieur, ne rêvez pas. Il n’y aura pas de duel avec mon ami Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Nos atouts se conjuguent pour “aller mieux”. Le député des médias de la Somme a lui-même sauté dans un sondage Ifop publié juste avant Paris Match....

Now, months later and with the Nets in a tenuous position at best, Durant explained the reasons behind his request in an interview with TNT’s Chris Haynes.

It is the second time the winners in both major leagues have been unanimous since the award began in 1956 and the first since Denny McLain of Detroit in the AL and Bob Gibson of St. Louis in the NL swept the voting in 1968.
