The prime minister’s ambitions might be ambiguous, but unlike the Conservative leader, he is following voters and the facts
British politics is still polarised around Brexit, although 10 years on from the referendum, the terms of debate are very different. Or they should be. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has moved discussions of European solidarity from the realm of abstraction to a matter of urgent defence partnership. Donald Trump’s presidency in the US, marked by scorn for European democracies and indulgence of Vladimir Putin, has undermined confidence that Britain can rely on any “special relationship” with Washington.
Under these circumstances, it would be absurd to deny that a reappraisal of Brexit is in order. The prime minister acknowledged this in his speech at the Labour party conference last month, calling for a national conversation about the future relationship with every option, including rejoining, on the table. The Eurosceptic opposition are having none of it. The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, accuses the government of stirring division by raising the European question. She told MPs this week that Labour should thank the Tories for the Brexit deal they negotiated.

People diagnosed with ADHD and those travelling with them can get a third off their train tickets with disabled railcards, it has emerged.
The post People With ADHD Get Third Off Train Tickets appeared first on The Daily Sceptic.
Keira Callaghan says being prepared should be a public health measure, not a privilege, and Chris Rotheram is experiencing prescription anxiety. Plus five more letters in response to the Be Ready campaign
The Be Ready campaign may offer sensible advice in principle (Every Briton should stockpile water and food supplies, government advises, 22 October), but as a midwife working in Tower Hamlets, one of the poorest boroughs in London, I can see first-hand that its practical recommendations risk excluding precisely those families who are already most vulnerable.
For families living in a single room in a shared house, storing nine litres of water per person alongside three days’ worth of essential supplies may simply be unrealistic. When families are already struggling with the cost of food, heating and everyday necessities, buying additional emergency provisions may also be financially impossible.

LIV Golf is in shambles, and another one has bitten the dust.
Sergio Garcia said on social media that he will be playing in the DP World Tour, formerly the European Tour, and is "keeping my options open for a return to the PGA Tour."
The DP World Tour announced earlier this month that it was no longer allowing LIV players to participate in its tournaments.

"This tour has been a huge part of my career from the very beginning, and I’m proud to call it home again," Garcia said in his statement.
The 2017 Masters winner also said it is a "goal" to play for Team Europe in the Ryder Cup in Ireland — European golfers must be a member of the DP World Tour in order to be eligible. Thus, with the DP World Tour's new stipulations, Garcia's already-slim chances were essentially put to zero.
Garcia last played in the Ryder Cup in 2021, several months before jumping to LIV. He has won six times in his 10 appearances.
Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, both Team Europe staples, have already said they are leaving LIV Golf. Louis Oosthuizen is also leaving, and Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed departed months ago.
The PIF halted funding in April to redirect money toward domestic projects and manage financial pressures from the regional war with Iran. Following the decision, PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan resigned from LIV’s board.
AUSTIN SMOTHERMAN SETS SIGHTS ON EARNING MASTERS INVITE AFTER PICKING UP BACK-TO-BACK PGA TOUR WINS
LIV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey last month. Between 2021 and 2026, LIV spent an estimated $5 billion to $8 billion. Bankruptcy filings show the league owes millions of dollars in unpaid compensation to top players, including Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Cam Smith.
The league’s future depends on a proposed restructuring plan called "LIV 2.0," but Rahm said the terms of "2.0" are "unacceptable" and he won't be participating in it. Rahm and Hatton were perhaps the two biggest LIV names to play in DP World Tour events.
Under the proposal, London-based private equity firm BC Partners, which has financial ties to player agency GSE Worldwide, would fund a 2027 relaunch. The plan would also give the players majority ownership of the league.
LIV has laid off most of its operational staff, left event contractors waiting for payment and faces a lawsuit from the Premier Golf League alleging breach of confidence and conspiracy.
Shortly after the PIF pulled its funding, LIV CEO Scott O'Neil said the LIV calendar would not be altered, but that did not occur. The league's originally-scheduled championship weekend was cancelled, forcing it to be played a week earlier.

Angela Eagle tells industry ‘people are sick of excuses’ as pollution levels remain high despite billions in investment
Angela Eagle, the environment secretary, has summoned water industry bosses to Whitehall after a report found that the environmental performance of the big companies has worsened despite investment.
“People are sick of excuses,” Dame Angela said, after the Environment Agency joined the Drinking Water Inspectorate, Natural Resources Wales and Ofwat for a joint report that rated eight of the nine water companies in England as “poor” or “requiring improvement”.

John Healey aced the morning-after media round because his Martin Lewis measures left nothing to challenge him on
Maybe it had been one of the greatest acts of political genius after all. The day after the budget is usually the moment when things start to fall apart. When clued-up journalists and economists have had a chance to go through all the fine points the chancellor would rather everyone had missed. The forecasts that suggest everything is predicated on a wing and a prayer. The hidden unfunded tax cuts. The greater-than-expected spending commitments.
But on Thursday morning Andy Burnham and John Healey could afford themselves a sigh of relief. All had gone about as well as they could have hoped. It turns out that when you don’t make any massive tax or spending commitments, there isn’t a great deal to unravel. All there had been was a raft of small-scale interventions designed to help people with their personal finances. Call it the Martin Lewis budget. In fact, Healey and Lewis now seem unable to get through the day without spending some time with each other. They certainly can’t stop talking about one another. It’s becoming unhealthily co-dependent. The gods of small things.

Ya lo había insinuado en el pasado Open de España y este jueves lo ha confirmado de manera oficial. Sergio García no jugará LIV 2.0, la nueva y descafeinada versión de la Liga saudí de golf, si es que esta llega a cobrar vida debido a sus problemas de financiación. “La próxima temporada jugaré en el DP World Tour. Este circuito ha sido una parte muy importante de mi carrera desde el principio y estoy orgulloso de volver a llamarlo casa”, ha expresado el golfista castellonense de 46 años en un comunicado.

Prime minister wrote to ministers saying he did not want them to ‘advocate for specific options or opine on the likely outcome of the process’
Selling nicotine-free vapes to children under the age of 18 has become illegal from today, the government has said.
Children were already banned from buying vapes containing nicotine. But, under the Tobacco and Vapes Act, shops across the UK will now be banned from selling nicotine-free vapes, and nicotine pouches, to children.
Vaping can be a way to help established adult smokers who are already addicted to nicotine from tobacco to swap to a less dangerous product. Vaping is considered safer than smoking, but that is a low bar. Vapes should therefore never be used by children or non-smokers.
Some children have already come to harm from bad reactions to vapes. The long-term health harms of vaping in today’s children will only become clear over time. They are however unlikely to be good; inhaling multiple, often heated, chemicals into the lungs may well do irreversible harm.

Ninguno quiere el premio, o así lo parece. Como si se hubieran contagiado. Lo tiene a tiro Nikoloz Basilashvili hasta cuatro veces, pero el georgiano se adorna —ese exceso de confianza en la volea no tocaba— y termina pagándolo caro, muy caro. Tanto que le cuesta el set (o sea, el partido) después de que Carlos Alcaraz, igualmente errático, haya desperdiciado tres opciones de cerrar el duelo; una de ellas con toda la pista para él, clamorosa. Al final no lo lamentará. El murciano vence en un episodio de contrastes (6-1 y 7-6(11), después de 1h 41m) y progresa en Viena, donde se las verá este viernes en los cuartos de final (no antes de las 15.00, Movistar+) con un rival sobradamente conocido para él: será el décimo pulso con Tommy Paul, con un balance favorable de 7-2.
Jódar, primerizo en la élite, continúa en pleno crecimiento y descubriendo los entresijos del máximo nivel. En este proceso de aprendizaje, uno de los aspectos a mejorar es su rendimiento en los tie-breaks, en los que la experiencia resulta fundamental.
Este curso, el madrileño ha tenido que dilucidar 24, de los cuales ha ganado 11 y perdido 13. Empezó con fuerza —ganó siete de los diez primeros que jugó—, pero últimamente ha menguado; en concreto, se ha hecho solo con dos de los diez últimos.
Precisamente, si alguien domina esa zona terminal es Djokovic (39), que empezó bien contra Struf y al final se diluyó. Conforme transcurrió el partido fue perdiendo vigor y el tenista alemán, que se había inclinado en los ocho precedentes entre ambos, lo apeó. Dejó, pues, escapar una magnífica oportunidad.
Quien no lo hizo fue Alexander Zverev, que el próximo lunes abrirá oficialmente su reinado al derrotar en Viena a Tallon Griekspoor (6-4 y 7-5). El triunfo anticipa su ascenso a la cima. Allí también, el italiano Flavio Cobolli abandonó lesionado y entre lágrimas ante su compatriota Matteo Berrettini.
Cabe recordar que actualmente es sexto tanto en el ranking como en la carrera anual, así como que debería ser el referente de su país en las Finales de la Copa Davis. Se resintió de unos problemas arrastraba desde la semana previa en Lyon.
Por otra parte, Elena Rybakina confirmó que finalizará el año en lo más alto. Su triunfo contra Yulia Putintseva en Tokio (6-2 y 6-3) le garantiza la posición, que obtuvo tras el US Open. La kazaja, de 27 años, ha ganado este año en Australia y Nueva York.

Corea del Norte ha lanzado este jueves más de 10 misiles balísticos de corto alcance hacia el mar de Japón, en medio de la creciente tensión con Corea del Sur, que no ha hecho sino elevarse desde que, a finales de septiembre, tres soldados surcoreanos resultaran heridos por la explosión de varias minas terrestres en el lado surcoreano de la Zona Desmilitarizada que marca la frontera entre ambos países. La nueva exhibición militar de Pyongyang ha tenido lugar días después de que el líder norcoreano, Kim Jong-in, efectuara una inusual visita a una ciudad fronteriza china en un gesto de acercamiento a Pekín y en medio de especulaciones sobre un posible encuentro con el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump.

Thinktank says chancellor has given himself a mountain to climb after ducking big decisions in low-key speech
John Healey has paved the way for a “brutal” spending review next year after his budget failed to cover a £28bn shortfall in the public finances needed to avoid a return to austerity, according to Britain’s leading tax and spending experts.
A day after his address to the Commons, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the chancellor had left himself a mountain to climb by ducking several big decisions in his debut tax and spending statement.

Austin Smotherman earned his first win on the PGA Tour in early October at the Bank of Utah Championship, checking the box of fulfilling a lifelong dream. He needed all of 22 days to get back into the winner's circle at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Earning two wins in consecutive starts is not only career-changing, but it also brings new goals to the forefront, and the 32-year-old is by no means keeping the top one on his list a secret.
With his two wins this fall, Smotherman has earned a spot on the PGA Tour's Championship Series debuting in 2028, exemptions into the 2027 PGA Championship and 2027 U.S. Open, and a touch more than $1.1 million. He also moved to No. 54 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), and now, moving up at least four spots and inside the Top 50 by year's end has understandably become the focus.
"No doubt, no doubt," Smotherman began when asked if getting inside the Top 50 was now the top priority. "Everything for next year is already pretty firm as far as where things are going to be, but I still have majors that need to be put on the schedule. That’s the one thing that’s really shifted."
PGA TOUR IS FINALLY BRINGING MATCH PLAY TO ITS POSTSEASON BEGINNING IN 2028 IN NO-BRAINER DECISION
Players inside the Top 50 in the final edition of the world rankings in 2026 earn a spot in next year's Masters. Smotherman's lone major championship start in his career is a missed cut at the 2026 PGA Championship.
"That’s why we wanted to go play Bermuda," Smotherman explained. "I got asked that question a lot last week, and my caddie did as well. From Monday through Friday, people were asking, 'What are you doing here? Why do you want to go to Bermuda? Why do you want to do this?'
"My wife and I talked about it, and she’s got things handled at home. We’re in a good routine, and I didn’t go to Japan, so I got that extra week off. That’s what we were playing for. I’m going to play Austin and the RSM Classic to try to move inside the top 50.
"If we’re 51st, we’re 51st. It’s not necessarily the end of the cutoff, because there are still other ways to get in and a little bit of time left, but having that certainty before taking time off would be nice."
CAM YOUNG WAS OUT THE DOOR TO LIV GOLF, WIND CUTS PGA TOUR EVENT SHORT, AND GEARING UP FOR MEXICO
Nice would be an understatement. Knowing a letter from Augusta National is on the way to your mailbox for next April's event before the calendar flips to 2027 would not only come with a sense of relief, but be a dream come true, which is a feeling Smotherman has managed to achieve on quite a consistent basis this fall.
Smotherman, a former standout at SMU, defeated Seamus Power in a three-hole playoff in what was among the more unique finishes seen on the PGA Tour in quite some time.

Due to extreme winds ahead of the final round, the event was officially cut to just 54 holes, but with Smotherman and Power tied atop the leaderboard, the pair dueled it out on the tricky Par 3 16th hole on Monday morning until Smotherman's third consecutive par was enough to get the job done.
Smotherman will enjoy the dad life at home in Dallas over the next couple of weeks while gearing up for his next start at the Austin Championship beginning on Nov. 12.
