Former US Vice President Mike Pence, in a stinging rebuke of his former boss, said on Friday that Trump was mistaken in believing Pence had the capacity to overturn the conclusion of the 2020 presidential election, which Trump has erroneously claimed was stolen from him. After losing his re-election effort to Democrat Joe Biden in November 2020, Republican Trump pressed Pence to withhold congressional certification of the results on January 6, 2021, while presiding over the proceedings. During Trump's chaotic four-year presidency, Pence, a devoted subordinate, chose not to prevent certification. In an address to the Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Pence declared, "President Trump is mistaken." "I had no legal authority to annul the election." "The presidency belongs to the people of the United States, and the people of the United States alone." And, frankly, no thought is more un-American than the ide

Several Cabinet ministers are said to have told Boris Johnson to fire Rishi Sunak. It comes just days after the Prime Minister was chastised by the Chancellor for a personal assault on Sir Keir Starmer. On Monday, Mr Johnson, 57, criticised Sir Keir for having failed to charge the paedophile Jimmy Savile when he was director of public prosecutions. The Chancellor responded by saying that he would not have used such rhetoric in response to Mr Johnson's statement. "To be honest, I wouldn't have said it, and I'm delighted the Prime Minister clarified what he meant," Mr Sunak added. Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, concurred with the Chancellor, saying that Labour leader Ed Miliband "deserves praise for taking on such a major public job and achieving well." The positions chosen by both against their own Prime Minister, however, did not sit well with the public. One senior minister demanded Sunak's dismissal, while two others accused the chancellor of b

Boris Johnson's leadership has been further strained by the resignation of four of his top advisers from Number 10 in the wake of the partygate controversy. Dan Rosenfield, the prime minister's chief of staff, and Martin Reynolds, Mr Johnson's principal private secretary, have both announced their departures from Number 10. Two more important advisors to the prime minister have resigned: press secretary Jack Doyle and policy director Munira Mirza. Following the furore over his comments this week regarding Jimmy Savile and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Chancellor Rishi Sunak - generally seen as a possible successor to the prime minister - put pressure on Mr Johnson. Sunak on PM's Savile remark: 'I wouldn't have said it.' Mr Sunak attempted to put distance between himself and Mr Johnson during a Downing Street press conference, in which the PM accused Mr Starmer of "failing to pursue Jimmy Savile" while he was director of public prosecutions.

Households are facing the biggest financial squeeze in the UK's history, as the chancellor warned that energy costs could rise again in the autumn and Ofgem granted itself new powers. Energy prices are likely to jump £693 to a median £1,971 per year, putting pressure on families. However, the regulator Ofgem's announcement of a 54 percent increase may not be the only one to strike households this year. Rishi Sunak has cautioned Britons to expect substantially higher energy expenses in the autumn, as the £1,971 price cap is expected to grow much higher. To combat market volatility, Ofgem is revising the price cap on bills twice as frequently. Currently, the cap on how much energy suppliers can charge is only raised every six months, and dozens of energy suppliers have gone out of business in that time. The failures were triggered by a significant increase in the price that energy companies had to pay for the gas that they supplied to consumers. Because the price restriction set

A Lincolnshire family is outraged about a burial plot error. After discovering that someone had been buried close to their father in a plot prepared for their mother, the Lincolnshire family stated they were "distressed." Widow Penny Robinson purchased a twin spot at St Leonard's Churchyard so that she may be buried next to her husband Trevor. When son Benjamin Robinson visited to place flowers on his father's grave last week, he noticed the error. The parish council has issued an apology and stated that it is seeking counsel. Mr Robinson told BBC Radio Lincolnshire that there was no longer enough room for his mum to be buried alongside her husband. It was difficult to break the news to my mother, and the family was greatly upset "he stated. "My mother is still upset about it." His brother, Luke Robinson, stated that the family was seeking an explanation from the council and that the error be corrected as quickly as possible. He explained, "They
