Truss to face Starmer at the despatch box in PMQs and brief her cabinet on her first full day as prime minister | Politics News

New Prime Minister Liz Truss will go head-to-head with Sir Keir Starmer for the first time today as the pair cross swords in Prime Minister’s Questions at noon.

On Tuesday, in her first speech as prime minister, Ms Truss said the UK would “ride out the storm” caused by the war in Ukraine and promised a package of reforms to “transform Britain” including measures to boost growth and put the NHS on a “firm footing”.

She also pledged to tackle soaring energy bills as an immediate priority. She is expected to announce a plan to freeze bills later in the week.

Liz Truss announces her cabinet – Politics latest

It has been reported that the freeze will be around £2,500 – more than £500 above the current price cap but £1,000 less than the limit due to be imposed in October.

Labour leader Sir Keir will likely probe Ms Truss on her prospective energy proposals at PMQs.

His party has called for the energy price cap to be frozen now, which would be paid for introducing a new windfall tax on oil and gas companies’ profits without a “major tax loophole” it claims the government’s current windfall tax has.

After giving her speech outside Number 10, Ms Truss then appointed her cabinet team who will gather for their first meeting this morning.

Supporters of leadership rival Rishi Sunak – including former justice secretary Dominic Raab, former transport secretary Grant Shapps and former health secretary Steve Barclay – were removed from their senior government positions.

Loyal allies of Ms Truss were rewarded for their long-term support, including friend Therese Coffey who was promoted from work and pensions secretary to health secretary and deputy prime minister.

Elsewhere, former business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng was elevated to chancellor – and Sky News understands in the first few hours of the job he summoned the bosses of Britain’s biggest banks for talks today.

Posting on social media, Mr Kwarteng said being offered the position was “the honour of a lifetime”.

Former attorney general Suella Braverman was appointed home secretary following Priti Patel’s departure, while James Cleverly was promoted to the position of foreign secretary which Ms Truss had previously held.

Mr Cleverly had worked as a minister in the foreign office for two years, acting effectively as Ms Truss’s deputy.

Former minister of state for Brexit opportunities and government efficiency Jacob Rees-Mogg was promoted to business secretary, while Former Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis’s loyalty to Ms Truss saw him awarded the justice brief.

Former chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and policing minister Kit Malthouse was given the education beat, while former international trade secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan will deal with the autumn of planned railway strikes in her new role as transport secretary.

The PM’s press secretary said Ms Truss had appointed a cabinet “which represents the depth and breadth of talent in the Conservative Party” and which will “unify the party, get our economy growing and deliver for the British people”.

More junior ministers are expected to be appointed today.

Shortly after making her first address outside Downing Street, the new PM made her first call – as promised – to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In a statement after they had spoken, Ms Truss said: “Ukraine can depend on the UK for support in the long term.”

Meanwhile, in a post on social media, President Zelenskyy said he thanked Ms Truss for the UK’s continued support for Ukraine and invited her to visit the country.

Ms Truss also spoke to US President Joe Biden.

President Biden offered his congratulations, saying he looked forward to “deepening the special relationship between our countries and working in close cooperation on global challenges, including continued support for Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian aggression”.

Ms Truss said she and Mr Biden discussed working together on shared challenges such as the economic impact of the war in Ukraine and promised to build on “UK-US links”.

Mother of Olivia Pratt-Korbel tells her daughter’s killer to ‘own up’ in emotional video | UK News

The mother of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel has told her killer to “own up” in an emotional video appeal.

Cheryl Korbel, whose daughter was fatally shot in their home in Dovecot, Liverpool, paid tribute to her “little shadow” in the video, which was filmed and released by Merseyside Police.

Wearing a cast on her wrist after she was injured during the shooting, a tearful Ms Korbel said she hoped whoever was responsible for the killing would come forward.

“You know you’ve done wrong so you need to own up,” she said.

“Like I’ve taught my kids, you do something wrong, you own up to it.

“If anyone is hiding these guns, they need to speak up because they need to be off these streets.

“No one, no one at all should have to go through this.”

Ms Korbel said Olivia was “amazing” and “loved life”.

“She was my little shadow. She went everywhere with me,” Ms Korbel added.

“Everyone she met, they all fell in love with her. She left a mark on everyone she met.

“She may well have only been nine but she packed a lot in to those nine years.

“She never, never stopped talking – and that’s what I miss the most because I can’t hear her talk.

“We were organising days out, we were on the summer holidays. We took Liv swimming.

“We went to Blackpool, just me and Liv.

“We were talking about going to get a new uniform for school but I didn’t get that chance to get a new uniform.

“But I’ll keep going, for Liv.”

Earlier, Olivia’s father paid tribute to his daughter and said her death “cannot be in vain”, as he called for anyone with information on her death to come forward.

In a statement, John Francis Pratt and his wider family said: “We don’t want another child to lose their life in such horrendous circumstances and we don’t want to see another family suffer like we are suffering now.

“Olivia’s death cannot be in vain and we want people to feel safe and be safe, that can only happen if we all come together and make sure there is no place for guns, or those who use guns on our streets or in our communities.”

Olivia was shot in her home when a gunman chased convicted burglar Joseph Nee into the property at about 10pm on 22 August.

A post-mortem examination found the medical cause of her death was a gunshot wound to the chest.

A 34-year-old man from Liverpool arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder remains in custody after police were granted an extension to continue questioning him.

Three other men have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Man shot dead in police chase in south London is named | UK News

A man shot dead by police after a car chase in south London has been named.

Chris Kaba, who was in his 20s, died in hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning after being shot at about 10pm in Kirkstall Gardens in Streatham Hill.

Metropolitan Police officers said they used a tactic where they deliberately crash into a car in an attempt to bring the chase to an end in the residential street.

Local residents reported hearing gunshots and the police helicopter hovering overhead.

Friends gathered at the scene of the shooting on Tuesday, questioning whether the man who was shot had been carrying a gun.

Police said Mr Kaba received first aid from officers at the scene before being taken to hospital, but he died at 12.16am.

Cordons are in place on Kirkstall Gardens and New Park Road, with a forensic tent put up and officers gathering evidence at the scene.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), the police watchdog, said it declared an independent investigation shortly before midnight, as is standard after a police shooting, and investigators were sent to the scene.

The regulator said: “Our thoughts and sympathies are with all of those affected by this terrible incident.

“Our investigation remains in the very early stages.”

Day one: New Prime Minister Liz Truss to see Queen in Scotland and unveil energy price freeze that could last until 2024 | Politics News

Liz Truss is making a frantic 1,000-mile dash to see the Queen before launching her premiership with a £100bn energy price freeze that could last until the next election.

She is flying 500 miles each way to Balmoral to be handed the keys to No 10 by the monarch before addressing the nation from Downing Street with a pledge to slash household bills.

Politics Hub live updates: Older Tory voters ‘have gone off’ new PM

What’s happening today?

First up, we’ll be hearing from outgoing prime minister Boris Johnson at around 7.30am as he gives his farewell address outside Downing Street.

He and Ms Truss will then both fly to Aberdeen on separate planes for their meetings with the monarch.

Mr Johnson will get there first at 11.20am and will formally hand in his resignation to the Queen.

Once he has left, his successor will be invited in for her first private audience with the monarch. She will get to Balmoral for around 12.10pm, when she will be appointed Britain’s next prime minister and asked to form an administration.

After her half an hour with the Queen, Ms Truss is expected to fly back to London.

There she’ll give her first address as prime minister at about 4pm.

She will be greeted by the cabinet secretary at the door of Number 10 and will be clapped in by staff before heading into the Cabinet Room to receive security and intelligence briefings from civil servants.

The nuclear codes will be handed over to her and she will write “letters of last resort” to commanders of submarines carrying Trident nuclear missiles with orders on what to do if the government has been wiped out in a nuclear attack.

Her emergency package to tackle the cost of living crisis is expected to include freezing energy bills for homes and businesses until January next year at least – and possibly until 2024.

It would mean that for a typical household, energy bills would be frozen at just under £2,000. The initial cost to taxpayers would be £40bn – to be paid for by more government borrowing.

Over the past 24 hours, Truss allies have been locked in talks with energy bosses, thrashing out details of the price freeze, which if it lasts two years could eventually cost £100bn.

Government ministers are expected to claim the new PM’s plan is more generous than the price freeze proposed by Labour, but she is expected to reject their demand for a windfall tax.

Who will be in the cabinet?

The big cabinet jobs have long been settled and will be filled by Ms Truss’s closest allies, including Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor, James Cleverly as foreign secretary and Therese Coffey tipped for health secretary.

After Priti Patel quit as home secretary, she is expected to be replaced by Suella Braverman. Culture secretary and Boris Johnson cheerleader Nadine Dorries is expected to follow Ms Patel in resigning.

But on policy issues, dealing with the cost of living crisis is the new prime minister’s most urgent priority. In her speech after she was declared Tory leader, she vowed to deal with people’s energy bills.

At the moment, household energy bills are capped at £1,971 – rising to £3,549 in October. The price cap is due to rise again in January when bills are forecast to pass £5,000.

But under the new PM’s price freeze plan, the government would directly intervene in the wholesale energy market, subsidising the cost of gas bought by electricity generators and suppliers.

That would mean taxpayers taking on the risk of the surging wholesale gas prices while subsidising the cost of energy for hard-pressed households and businesses currently fearing bankruptcy.

Plan to be outlined as early as Thursday

After the new prime minister’s pledge of help on the steps of No 10, full details are expected from either Ms Truss or her new chancellor Mr Kwarteng as early as this Thursday.

Her Downing Street address on return from Balmoral will also include pledges on tax cuts and moves to tackle the crisis facing the NHS. Allies are describing her strategy as a “shock and awe” approach.

Besides her policy initiatives, the new PM faces the task of uniting her bitterly divided party. After her 57%-43% victory over Rishi Sunak, many Tory MPs are urging her to heal the wounds of the leadership contest.

Sunak supporter and former cabinet minister Theresa Villiers told Sky News she would now support Ms Truss’s policies, such as the cut to National Insurance that was bitterly attacked by the former chancellor.

But Ms Villiers warned: “It will be really important to ensure that whatever decisions are taken on tax don’t impact on inflation or add excessively to borrowing.”

On energy bills, she said: “There is a case for some more broadly based support as well, targeting it towards those on low incomes.”

John Penrose, who resigned from his government job over Mr Johnson’s partygate conduct, said Ms Truss had a “clear win”, but added: “We’ll have to wait and see if she can deliver, but she said the right things.”

And on energy bills, 1922 Committee treasurer Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown told Sky News: “I wouldn’t give a very big package to everybody, because that’s simply racking up our already huge debt and is going to have to be paid back some time.”

‘You are the future, you are the present’: Meghan gives first UK speech since stepping back as a senior royal | Ents & Arts News

The Duchess of Sussex has told young leaders from around the world “you are the future, you are the present” in her first UK speech since stepping back as a senior royal.

Prince Harry was also in attendance as Meghan gave a short speech at the opening ceremony of the One Young World summit at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

The Sussexes’ attendance at the ceremony was their first UK public appearance since the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.

Meghan told young leaders from more than 190 countries: “You are the ones driving the positive and necessary change across the globe now, in this very moment.

“And for that I am so grateful to be in your company today.”

She also told those gathered: “You are the future…. you are also the present”.

Meghan also spoke about having a “pinch me moment” after the first time she was asked to be a counsellor for One Young World in 2014.

She said: “And there I was, the girl from Suits. I was surrounded by world leaders, humanitarians, prime ministers and activists that I had such a deep and long-standing respect and admiration for.

“And I was allowed in, to pull up a seat at the table.

“I was so overwhelmed by this experience, I think, I think I even saved my little paper place-marker with my name on it.

“Just proof: proof that I was there, proof that I belonged, because the truth was, I wasn’t sure that I belonged.”

“I was so nervous, I doubted myself and I wondered, wondered if I was good enough to be there?”

But she added One Young World, “saw in me, just as I see in you, the present and the future”.

Meghan told the 2,000 or so delegates listening to her speech: “I want to make that point because often times I speak to young adults about the years ahead.

“About what you will do, about what you will have to adopt to fix from previous generations and also what legacy you will leave.

“Too often in that, we neglect the point – you are doing it now.

“You, here, in this present moment, this is where it is all beginning.”

Before the duchess’ speech, Harry and Meghan were sat centre stage on a bench together as they watched bearers carry the flags of more than 200 countries.

Meghan, with her hair in a sleek ponytail, sat with her legs crossed and swayed in time to a rendition of Dancing In The Streets as she clapped her hands.

Reports suggest Harry and Meghan arrived in Britain on Saturday, but a spokeswoman for the couple declined to confirm their arrival.

The couple were pictured walking into a side entrance of London Euston station on Monday as they took the train up to Manchester for the summit.

They were reportedly driven the 27 miles from their UK base at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to Euston in a hybrid electric Range Rover.

Their UK trip comes just days after Meghan’s wide-ranging interview with The Cut magazine, in which she said she had “really made an active effort to forgive” both her in-laws and members of her own family after stepping back from royal duties.

She added that she is “still healing” from the ordeal.

The former Suits actress also said that “just by existing” she and Harry were “upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy” before they stepped down as senior working royals.

Meanwhile, in the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast, Meghan said her life only became more focused on her race after she started dating Prince Harry.

UK weather: Travel delays and flooding likely as thunderstorm warning declared | UK News

Travel disruption is expected today for parts of England and Wales that find themselves under a yellow thunderstorm warning.

The Met Office says delays to train services are likely, while driving conditions could be treacherous.

Flooding is possible, with up to 80mm of rain tipped to fall in three hours in some places, and there’s a risk of damage to buildings.

The warning covers parts of England stretching from Devon to north of Stoke-on-Trent, and spans much of Wales, including Cardiff.

It lasts from 2pm today until 2am on Tuesday.

Get the five-day forecast where you are

The Met Office warns:

• Driving conditions are likely to be affected by spray, standing water, hail and gusty winds, leading to longer journey times by car and bus
• Some flooding of a few homes and businesses likely, leading to some damage to buildings or structures
• Delays to some train services are likely
• Probably some damage to a few buildings and structures from either lightning strikes or gusty winds
• Some short term loss of power and other services is likely

Met Office spokesperson Oli Claydon said the conditions should clear by the weekend, but said there could be an unsettled few days beyond the timescale of the thunderstorm warning.

He explained: “The main factor leading our weather in the next few days and indeed through the week is an area of low pressure that’s coming to the west of the UK.

“And it sits there through the week, very slowly moving eastward.

“From that area of low pressure we’ll get a number of fronts that are sort of spinning off it, as well as the thunderstorms which are being pushed up from the south.

“We’ve also got a cold front that’s moving eastward off of that low pressure, bringing further rain as well.”

Majority of drivers have not read updates to the Highway Code, survey suggests | UK News

Three in five drivers have not read updates to the Highway Code, a survey suggests.

Some 61% of respondents to an AA poll of 13,300 motorists said they had not read changes made in January, designed to provide more protection for vulnerable road users.

New guidance includes things like traffic should give way when pedestrians are crossing or waiting to cross at junctions.

Nine sections of the Highway Code were updated in January, with 50 rules added or amended.

Cyclists are now advised to ride in the centre of lanes on quieter roads, in slower-moving traffic and when approaching junctions.

A hierarchy of road users was also introduced, meaning someone driving has more responsibility to watch out for people cycling, walking or riding a horse, and cyclists have more responsibility to be aware of pedestrians.

The changes were advisory, so non-compliance does not automatically result in a fine.

More than half (52%) of those questioned by the AA had heard about the new rules but not studied them.

One in 10 (10%) drivers aged 18-54 were completely unaware of the updates, compared with 5% of those aged 55 and above.

When asked to identify five correct statements included in the updated Highway Code from a list of 10, the majority of respondents did so correctly.

Tim Rankin, managing director of AA Accident Assist, said: “For many the updated Highway Code formalises safe and sensible roadcraft, however we are concerned that so many still haven’t read the rules.

“While we are pleased that many of the changes can be successfully recalled, we’d like more drivers to know the rules outright so they can keep themselves and others safe.

“It is in everyone’s interest to take every measure that helps avoid collisions and remove confusion from the road, so we urge those that still haven’t read the updated Code to do so as soon as possible.”

Ukraine war: UK programme to train ‘citizen soldiers’ is expanding | UK News

The UK is significantly expanding a training programme in Britain to turn potentially tens of thousands of Ukrainian recruits into frontline soldiers to fight Russia, Sky News has learnt.

The combat course is being extended in length to five weeks from three weeks, keeping more of the training in the UK, away from the threat of Russian missile strikes – a hazard for anyone learning how to become a soldier at sites inside Ukraine, it is understood.

Some 4,700 personnel have already been through the training at military bases in the north, southwest and southeast of England since it began in June, with commanders intending to continue the support for as long as Ukraine needs new troops to fight Russia’s invasion.

Military instructors from eight other countries, including New Zealand, Sweden and the Netherlands, have joined with their British counterparts to provide the expanded training mission.

Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, said it demonstrated “our shared resolve to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine”.

In quotes released to Sky News by the Ministry of Defence, confirming the expanded programme, Mr Wallace said the training course had “developed rapidly, and we are now extending it to five weeks to provide the best possible preparation for Ukrainian soldiers who will soon be in active combat operations”.

He added: “Meeting those citizen soldiers and witnessing first-hand their courage and determination is a humbling experience.

“We must do everything we can to help them defend their homes against this illegal and unprovoked Russian invasion, and will continue to do so for as long as it takes. We stand with Ukraine.”

Mr Wallace has paid four visits to check up on the training, including most recently on Friday.

Advanced training

A defence source said this was an indication that while “many politicians have been distracted by a summer leadership competition”, the defence secretary “only cares about keeping Ukrainians in their fight for national survival”.

If, as expected, Liz Truss becomes prime minister, Mr Wallace is tipped to retain his job as defence secretary.

Other countries taking part in the training programme to help Ukraine comprise Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Lithuania.

The main course on offer is based on the UK’s basic infantry training. It includes weapons-handling, battlefield first aid, fieldcraft and patrol tactics.

The extra two weeks will allow for more advanced training, such as trench and urban warfare, vehicle-mounted operations, and battlefield exercises in simulated combat environments.

The training is being conducted by elements from the British Army’s 11 Security Force Assistance Brigade and the RAF Regiment, alongside international instructors.

Climber scales The Shard barefoot and surprises couple staying on 40th floor of skyscraper | UK News

A couple staying on the 40th floor of The Shard woke up to a surprise at 6am this morning – a man climbing past their window after scaling the skyscraper barefoot.

Paul Curphey, 52, and partner Treasaidh, visited the iconic structure in southeast London for a birthday trip when they noticed someone “waving at the window”.

The fearless daredevil is thought to be free-climber Adam Lockwood – who shared a terrifying selfie of him balancing precariously close to the edge of the iconic 310m (1,016-ft) building.

The picture, posted on Facebook, is captioned Shard, 04/09/2022 and shows him shirtless with his arm extended, appearing completely at ease despite the dizzying height.

Mr Lockwood has shared a number of escapades on his profile, including pictures at the top of Dubai’s second-tallest building, Marina 101, which measures 425m (1,394ft).

Mr Curphey, a retail businessman from the Isle of Man, snapped a picture of a man who he said was “yelling in a celebratory fashion”.

“He appeared, waving at the window, 40 floors up, already in the deep end so to speak.

“We couldn’t help but urge him on to complete his mission.

“He was smiling, waving, and having the time of his life.”

“(My) partner thought I had pulled all the stops out and managed to get a guy to bring a box of Milk Tray for her birthday,” Mr Curphey joked.

“It was scary to see, but his happy demeanour was amazingly uplifting,” he added.

The Metropolitan Police said a 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of trespass.

Two other men were arrested on suspicion of causing public nuisance during the incident.

The force arrived at the scene, close to London Bridge, around 5.38am on Sunday morning, joined by the London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade.
