Liz Truss: I didn’t crash the economy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:55 GMT

LONDON — Liz Truss struck firmly to her guns in a defiant speech Monday as Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister defended her chaotic economic legacy. Addressing the Institute for Government think tank, Truss blamed the media, the opposition Labour Party, and economic orthodoxy for her downfall during her 49 days in office.And she argued that the “reaction” from the “political and economic establishment” to her policies was the reason they failed.Pressed in the Q&A on the claim she “crashed the economy,” Truss shot back: “I do want to challenge this phrase ‘crashed the economy.’“The fact is that since I left office both mortgage rates and gilt rates have gone higher than they were at the time of the mini-budget. So I do think you are repeating a line to take from the Labour Party when you say that.”Truss’ mini-budget — officially billed as the “Plan for Growth” — aimed to slash taxes and cut regulations. But t...

China blasts Germany after Baerbock calls Xi Jinping a ‘dictator’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:55 GMT

China on Monday condemned German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock after she labeled Chinese President Xi Jinping a “dictator.”“China is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposes the German side’s remarks, which are extremely absurd, a serious infringement of China’s political dignity and an open political provocation,” China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Monday according to local news. “China has made serious inquiries to the German side through diplomatic channels,” she added. Last week, Baerbock gave an interview to Fox News underlining Germany’s support for Ukraine — in which she fired a broadside at Xi. “If Putin were to win this war, what sign would that be for other dictators in the world, like Xi, like the Chinese president?” the foreign minister said. In recent months, Baerbock has been a sharp-tongued critic of the Chinese government. She has questioned China’s global ambitio...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:55 GMT

FOXBORO — The truth of Christian Gonzalez’s fourth-quarter interception was it had been building.The Patriots defense sensed Miami would grow impatient sometime in Sunday night’s game. Either Tua Tagovailoa or play-caller Mike McDaniel would force a long ball to Tyreek Hill, the premier deep threat in the entire league. Finally, Tagovailoa did.In the fourth quarter, Tagovailoa faked a wide hand-off around midfield and hurled a high-arching pass down the left sideline. Hill had zipped by safety Jabrill Peppers and into open space.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran and the United States will exchange prisoners on Monday after nearly $6 billion in once-frozen Iranian assets reached Qatar, a key element of the planned swap, officials said.Despite the deal, tensions are almost certain to remain high between the U.S. and Iran, which are locked in various disputes, including over Tehran’s nuclear program.

He said the cash sought for the exchange that had been held by South Korea was now in Qatar. An individual with direct knowledge of the deal, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity given the exchange had yet to be concluded, later said that both Iranian and U.S. officials had been notified by Qatar that the money had been transferred to the Gulf Arab nation, which serv...

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — BodyThe trial of five Israelis accused of gang raping a British woman in a Cyprus hotel room is scheduled for next month, when they will enter pleas to charges including rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and abduction, Cypriot police said Monday.Police said the trial will begin Oct. 5. Defense lawyers objected to a prosecution request for the suspects to remain in custody until then. A Famagusta District court judge is to rule Tuesday on whether to keep the suspects in detention or release them.Yannis Habaris, a lawyer representing three of the suspects, said there are “many contradictory” points which “undermine the veracity of the claims” in the alleged victim’s statement to police.Habaris said his clients will plead not guilty to the charges because “as things now stand, we don’t think that any crime has been committed.”Lawyers representing the other two suspects didn’t immediately respond to attempts for comment.
