Alister Jack has claimed the biggest tax cuts in the United Kingdom since 1972, funded by £72 billion a year in borrowing, are "small".

The Scottish Conservatives have been accused of "hypocrisy" for supporting Liz Truss's tax cuts for the wealthy, despite several MSPs refusing to vote for her as leader.

Jon Burlingame editor Does Doja Cat’s hit song “Vegas” qualify to be an Oscar Best Song nominee? The short answer is: Maybe. But the tune from Baz Luhrmann’s biopic “Elvis” faces more challenges than the average new movie song. The three-and-a-half-minute, commercially released version of “Vegas,” a portion of which is heard during the first half-hour of the film, interpolates the 1950s classic “Hound Dog,” although more in its repeated use of a famous lyrical phrase (“you ain’t nothin’ but a…”) than any musical element. Because of that, original “Hound Dog” songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller are co-credited as writers on “Vegas” along with Doja Cat (under her real name, Amala Zandile Dlamini), David Sprecher and Roget Lufti Chahayed, the latter two of whom are the credited producers.

The UK Government has a new prime minister in Liz Truss and a new Chancellor in Kwasi Kwarteng.

The chancellor has this morning set out the government's plan to 'solve the riddle of growth' and to help people with the cost-of-living crisis with widespread tax cuts for the highest earners in a 'new era'. Kwasi Kwarteng delivered the government's mini budget to the House of Commons as he announced expected caps to rising energy bills and lifting the cap on bankers bonuses.

The government have announced a cut to stamp duty tax as part of a wider set of economic measures aimed at easing inflation.

The UK is heading for the biggest era of borrowing and tax cuts since the 1980s after Tory Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng slashed corporate and personal tax rates for the very rich.
