We will keep the situation under review in light of what's happening in Iran. Fuel duty is frozen until September. The best approach involves working with others to de-escalate the situation in the region, rather than making immediate policy decisions based on current volatility.
That's a phrase that often companies hide behind to try to defer their responsibilities for the actions that they're taking. I certainly don't buy that. Goldman Sachs and its partner, Dalfen Industrial, sold the facility to the federal government last month for $129.3 million, more than double its official value listed on tax records.
The United States-Israeli war on Iran is estimated to have cost Washington $3.7bn so far in its first 100 hours alone, or nearly $900m a day, driven largely by the huge expenditure of munitions, according to new research.

Rather than listen to Donald Trump lie to the American people, I will be hearing from the people of my district," Clark said in a statement ahead of the speech. By the numbers: Axios counted 20 Senate Democrats and just under 110 House Democrats in the chamber at the start of Trump's speech. That is roughly half of each party's chamber Democratic caucus.
Sir Keir Starmer has arrived in Beijing for a high-profile visit to China vowing there will be no more "ice age." The government chartered a British Airways flight instead of using the governments normal plane over fears the plane could be bugged. The Prime Minister arrived with a delegation of 60 representatives of UK businesses and cultural institutions to build bridges with China.
But what is legally possible could pose a serious political problem. Because, as the European Commission pointed out when remarking on the Parliament's negative vote, the legal formula used to process the ratification of this agreement is the same one used for an agreement reached with Chile that did not raise any questions inside the European Parliament.

"If we have a referendum I would vote for the unification with Romania. Look at what's happening around Moldova today. Look at what's happening in the world," Moldovan President Maia Sandu said in an interview with British podcast, The Rest is Politics, on January 11.

Reid Hoffman doesn't do much in half measures. He cofounded LinkedIn, of course, and helped bankroll companies including Meta and Airbnb in their startup days. He has also fashioned himself, via books, podcasts, and other public appearances, as something of a public intellectual-a pro-capitalist philosopher who still insists that tech can be a force for good. Most recently, Hoffman has emerged as one of Silicon Valley's most prominent defenders of artificial intelligence.
The secret fear of the loudest die-hard critics of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is not that he will fail as the city's leader but that he has a very good chance of succeeding. If the new administration demonstrates it can deliver on its promise to lower the cost of living while managing our city efficiently and keeping the streets safe, it will become clear that the fearmongers who have been screaming warnings about a coming municipal apocalypse were peddling nonsense all along.
Three more speed cameras have been damaged in Toronto, city officials say marking the 20th time the devices were tampered with in just a week.
