Kenya’s veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga will challenge the results of this month’s presidential election in the Supreme Court on Monday, his legal team said, the latest twist in a political clash that has gripped East Africa’s powerhouse. “Yes we shall,” lawyer Paul Mwangi replied to a Reuters query by text. Last week the election commissioner declared Deputy President William Ruto had won the election by a slim margin, but four out of seven election commissioners dissented, saying the tallying of results had not been transparent. This is Odinga’s fifth stab at the presidency; he blamed several previous losses on…

There was sound from the raucous Leeds congregation and a relentless fury to their side’s play. It yielded a fine second victory of the season, a fourth Premier League goal for the captain, Rodrigo, and a first one for the eyecatching young US international, Brenden Aaronson. Most of all Jesse Marsch’s mode of football suggests it was a smart move to sack Marcelo Bielsa in February as the former took over with the team two points above the drop zone. What followed was a final-day survival act and time for Marsch to implement his ideas across a full pre-season. Seven points thus…

A former executive at the oil company BP has called for increases to the energy price cap to be scrapped and for suppliers that fail to help households struggling with bills to be nationalised. Nick Butler, who worked for BP for almost 30 years and was group vice-president for strategy and development, said that expected rises in the cap should be abandoned by the industry regulator, Ofgem, which he said had been “overwhelmed by events” after turmoil in the global energy markets sent 29 British energy retailers to the wall. Butler is also calling for a “forensic examination” of the accounts of remaining…

Moderna documents regarding their COVID vaccine trial on animals, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch, showed that some of the offspring of rats that were injected with Moderna’s mRNA shot developed rib malformations. The 700 pages contain a portion of the formal Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) package that a manufacturer is required to submit to the FDA for approval. The documents have not yet been made public, but were analyzed by former pharma executive Alexandra Latypova and reviewed by The Epoch Times. Included in the documents are test results that show that Moderna mRNA shots caused statistically significant skeletal malformations in…

Health sector leaders have warned the UK faces a “humanitarian crisis” of worsening health outcomes unless the government does more to help with rising energy costs. Families are looking ahead to a grim winter as experts predict the cap on energy bills will hit close to £3,600 a year from October, before rising again next year. Surging prices mean people will have to choose between skipping meals to heat their homes or living in poor conditions, the NHS Confederation said in a letter to ministers. Matthew Taylor is chief executive of the body, which represents NHS leaders, and was quoted by the BBC and the…

As base interest rates rise and homeowners seek to fix their mortgage repayments for longer, new UK lender Perenna has announced it plans to offer 30-year fixed-rate mortgages to first-time buyers, home movers and ‘later life’ borrowers. Financial regulators have granted the lender a licence with restrictions which Perenna say means they are “inching closer” to their goal of launching 95 per cent loan-to-value mortgages, with rates fixed for a period of 30 years. Other lenders offering long-term fixed rates include Molo (up to 40 years), Habito (25 years) and Kensington Mortgages (25 years). Long-term fixed-rate mortgages usually have higher interest rates than those…

The billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of Britain’s richest people, has stated an interest in buying Manchester United from the club’s beleaguered owners, the Glazer family. Ratcliffe, who is from Greater Manchester, had previously wanted to purchase Chelsea from Roman Abramovich but has now turned his attention to United. “If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer,” a spokesperson for Ratcliffe told the Times. “If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership.” The Glazers have faced hostility since Malcolm Glazer purchased United in 2005 via a leveraged financial…

Commuters and other travellers are facing further disruption over three days from Thursday on rail, tube and bus services, as tens of thousands of workers begin the latest round of strike action. Network Rail, several train companies, London Underground and buses in the capital will be hit by industrial action due to long-running disputes over pay, jobs and conditions. However, strikes by bus workers across Cheshire, Lancashire, Manchester and Merseyside will be suspended while GMB members vote on a new pay offer, the union and Arriva North West said on Wednesday. On Thursday, members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at Network…

America First Legal filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding the Justice Department release video and audio recordings as well as body camera footage from the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago last week. “Releasing the entirety of the raw and unedited video footage and audio recordings will be the best chance the American people have of knowing what actually happened when federal agents descended upon and spent almost twelve hours at President Trump’s home last week,” the group said Tuesday in announcing the FOIA request. Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and top Trump administration adviser Stephen Miller founded…
