Daily Mirror – PM’s Pain Warning: Starmer’s Big Ask
Sir Keir Starmer has warned he will have to take painful decisions to fix the financial mess left by the Tories, the Daily Mirror reports. “There will be horror stories about people who can’t afford to heat their homes over winter,” predicts Dennis Reed, head of the pensioner campaign group Silver Voices.
The legendary Oasis siblings officially announced they will hit the road in 2025 together and play their first shows for 16 years, beginning with 14 dates in the UK and Ireland before heading on a world tour, the front page reports. The paper links the reunion of the brothers – who had an infamous falling out leading to the end of the band – to Princes William and Harry – also now famously having fallen out – saying the royal brothers could learn a thing or two from the Gallagher bros.
Keir Starmer urged not to abandon millions who suffered during Tory rule amidst ‘pain’ warning
Keir Starmer has warned he will have to take painful decisions to fix the financial mess left by the Tories. But the PM was urged not to pile on more agony for ordinary people hit by 14 years of austerity – and to make the rich pay more tax.
Mr Starmer said in a speech today the public would have to “accept short-term pain for long-term good” as he grapples with a £22billion black hole.
But Unite chief Sharon Graham said: “If we taxed 1% on the wealthiest 1%, the black hole would be gone.” The PM faced calls to reverse the winter fuel payments cut for millions of pensioners. He defended the move and insisted it “was a choice we had to make” to repair public finances.
After inheriting a financial disaster left by 14 years of Tory incompetence, Keir Starmer always knew rebuilding Britain would be a tough job.
But the PM was yesterday urged not to prolong the agony for struggling households as he warned the Budget would bring “short-term pain for long-term good”.
In a speech yesterday, Mr Starmer said he would make “big asks” of Brits as he tries to plug the £22billion black hole the Tories left, while insisting he would also target those with the “broadest shoulders”.
Real reason Oasis are getting back together and the secret talks that saw it happen
It’s the reunion of the decade and a reconciliation that few saw coming – but finally, warring brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have made up and are set to go on tour.
The legendary Oasis siblings officially announced this morning that they will hit the road in 2025 together and play their first shows for 16 years, beginning with 14 dates in the UK and Ireland before heading on a world tour.
In a joint statement, they said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.” And a long wait it has been after Noel refused to work with his little brother for “a day longer” in 2009.
But now, the Manchester siblings have worked things out and will regroup to mark their debut album’s 30th year. But what’s the real reason they’re back together? And how did it all pan out? The Mirror takes a look…
