Former prime minister Tony Blair said that Britain was “in a mess” and that neither his own Labour Party nor Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives deserved to win an election on December 12. Britain is holding an election three years ahead of schedule because parliament was deadlocked over Brexit, unable to agree on how or even whether to leave the European Union. Blair, Labour prime minister from 1997 to 2007, said both major parties were peddling fantasies, adding that if the opinion polls were accurate, Johnson’s party looked likely to win a majority. Blair also said that a UK-U.S. trade…

Malta police arrested one of the country’s most prominent businessman in connection with an investigation into the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, two sources said. Yorgen Fenech was detained after police intercepted his yacht off the Mediterranean island, sources with knowledge of the matter said. His arrest came the day after the government said it would offer a pardon to a suspected middleman in the 2017 murder of Caruana Galizia if he provided legal binding evidence of who was behind the killing. In February 2017, eight months before she died in a car bomb, Caruana Galizia wrote in her…

British naturalist David Attenborough has said that people are changing their habits when it comes to plastic waste, following the global impact of the broadcaster’s Blue Planet II documentary and the campaigning of young people. In September millions of young people flooded the streets of cities around the world demanding political leaders to take urgent steps to stop climate change, uniting in a worldwide protest inspired by 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. Alarmed by images of the Greenland ice sheets melting and the Amazon rain forests burning, protesters abandoned schools, shops and offices in nearly every corner of the globe,…

Prime Minister Boris Johnson shook hands with his rival, opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, during a live television debate, as both men agreed to improve the tone of Britain’s political debate.

Audience members laughed at Corbyn’s insistence that his Brexit position was clear, as well as at Johnson’s claim that he believed the truth mattered in the vote. Johnson is promising to implement the exit deal he…

LONDON (Reuters) – Whether Brexit purists or radical socialists win Britain’s election next month, a deluge of fresh debt is set to bloat the country’s 1.6 trillion pound ($2.1 trillion) government bond pile. But the permutations around the Dec. 12 election – and the implications for Brexit – make it tough for holders of British government debt to predict just what the borrowing bonanza will mean for them. In 2010, Bill Gross – then cast as “king of the bond market” – warned that British government bonds were “resting on a bed of nitroglycerine” because of Britain’s large budget deficit.…
