Israelis voiced concern as the country’s former premier Benjamin Netanyahu was poised to return to power, predicting that his right-wing camp was on the cusp of a resounding election win. With roughly 70% of votes counted, Netanyahu’s conservative Likud and its likely religious and far-right allies were on pace to control a majority in parliament. Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s short-lived ruling coalition that hailed largely from the center-left appeared to collapse. “We have won a huge vote of confidence from the people of Israel,” a smiling Netanyahu told cheering supporters at his Likud party election headquarters. “We are on the…

Matt Hancock has said his decision to appear on I’m a Celebrity was motivated by a desire to showcase his “human side” and to use reality TV as a platform to “deliver important messages to the masses”. Writing in the Sun in defence of his decision, which resulted in him losing the Conservative whip on Tuesday, the former health secretary said that “although some may think I’ve lost my marbles”, he believed politicians “must wake up and embrace popular culture”. He wrote: “While there will undoubtedly be those who think I shouldn’t go, I think it’s a great opportunity to talk directly…

A Republican congressman is urging Elon Musk, Twitter’s new owner, to hand over all records related to the social media company’s suppression of a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the weeks leading to the 2020 presidential election. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said in a letter that he expects Twitter’s new leadership to cooperate with the investigation into “the Biden family’s pattern of influence peddling to enrich themselves and President Biden’s involvement in these schemes.” “As part of this investigation, Committee Republicans are reviewing the role Big Tech—including Twitter—played in supporting the Biden campaign in…

Luciano Spalletti claimed Napoli dropped their guard once they knew Liverpool would not win by the four-goal margin needed to top the group. He was correct, although that was never the priority for Jürgen Klopp given the doubts and questions circling over Liverpool’s direction. Just to inflict a first defeat of the season on the Serie A leaders was enough. Usurping Napoli at the summit of Group A never looked a possibility at Anfield but that did not prevent Klopp signalled his intent when introducing Darwin Núñez in the 73rd minute of the finale. The Uruguay international made quite the impact. First he connected…

Suella Braverman has admitted using her personal email for official business six times so she could read the documents while taking work video calls. The home secretary was reappointed to the position by Rishi Sunak after quitting under Liz Truss because she breached security rules by sending a draft written ministerial statement (WMS) to the Conservative backbencher John Hayes and also accidentally to someone on the staff of the Tory MP Andrew Percy, breaching the ministerial code. The draft statement consisted of “high-level proposals for liberalising our migration rules”, including “increasing the number of low-skilled foreign workers, as well as general plans…

Israelis are returning to the voting booths for the fifth time in under four years as the former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks a return to power alongside far-right allies. Polls opened at 8am (6am GMT) on Tuesday. All 11 competing slates, worried about turnout in an exhausted electorate, have begun an energetic last campaigning push to encourage voters to leave the house. As with the four previous elections since 2019, Tuesday’s poll is largely a single-issue vote on whether the scandal-plagued Netanyahu is fit for office. Final polls published on Friday suggested that the Israeli public is once again split, with…

Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats are on course to win Denmark’s general election, but whether they stay in government – and she keeps her job as prime minister – could depend on a new party led by one of her predecessors. Frederiksen was forced to call Tuesday’s election when a leftist party backing her minority government withdrew support, and has said she wants “a broad coalition with parties on both sides of the political centre” to pilot the country through tough times. But in a political landscape split between 14 parties, both her left-leaning “red bloc”, polling at about 49%, and the rival…

Jürgen Klopp has said judgment should be reserved until the end of the season on whether Liverpool have reached the end of a cycle and need rebuilding. Liverpool are closer on points to the bottom of the Premier League than the top four after winning four of 12 Premier League games this season, with Saturday’s home defeat by struggling Leeds giving Klopp a sleepless night. The Liverpool manager believes injuries are a major reason for this season’s toils but when asked whether he felt this team are in decline he accepted it was a legitimate question that could be answered only at the conclusion…

Twitter flagged President Joe Biden’s claim that “55” big corporations nationwide paid no taxes for 2020, as the platform affirmed that “only 14” of them were eligible to be taxed. Biden took to Twitter to boast about his Inflation Reduction Act last Friday, using one of his favored data targeting big companies. “Let me give you the facts,” the president wrote in an Oct. 28 post. “In 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes. My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this,” Biden asserted. Attached to Biden’s post accompanies a notice from Twitter’s experimental new fact-checking program known as…

New Twitter owner Elon Musk appeared to mock his company’s human resource bots after receiving a “management 101” notice. Musk, who acquired the social media platform for $44 billion last week, posted what he said was an autogenerated message to him and mocked it. “Hey Elon,” the automated message began. “It’s time to start Managing @Twitter (M101)!” It added: “M101 covers what it means to be a good manager at Twitter by showing you how to create opportunities for impact, help your Tweeps grow their careers, and demonstrate care for your team.” The message added that Musk, who owns Twitter, has 30 days to complete the “mandatory…
