Andrew may have used RAF jets to meet Epstein, Brown tells police
“Gordon Brown has demanded a police investigation into whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used taxpayer-funded jets and RAF bases to meet the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The Telegraph can reveal that the former prime minister wrote letters to six police forces suggesting that civil servants be questioned about Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s time as a trade envoy. The royal was an envoy from 2001 to 2011, including almost three years when Mr Brown was in No 10. He has also demanded a full investigation into the trade envoy role, its cost to taxpayers and any evidence that links Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s government work to Epstein. His five-page letters were sent individually to police in London, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, Norfolk and Bedfordshire this week, but their contents were not publicly disclosed.” – Sunday Telegraph

The president announced on Saturday tariffs would rise to 15pc from 10pc – meaning British exports will now cost significantly more for US consumers. Britain’s baseline tariff was already at 10pc but now exporters face a significant jump in taxes they will have to pay, or add to their prices, to send goods to the US. Experts said the move would “dismay” UK companies, saying the president’s announcement was “something of an eef you” to Britain.” – Sunday Telegraph

Tories pledge to cut ‘unfair’ interest on student loans
“The Conservatives have pledged to abolish the ‘unfair’ additional interest on student loans. Kemi Badenoch has announced she would scrap supplementary interest on Plan 2 student loans, which students who attended university between 2012 and 2023 took out, saying they “increasingly feel like a scam”. The loans have been criticised for the interest rate of up to 3 per cent that is imposed in addition to inflation, and has been blamed for leaving two-thirds of graduates unable to pay off their balance. Although the loans are written off after 30 years, their structure means that graduates must earn at least £66,000 just to keep up with interest payments and often pay back far more than they borrowed over the course of their career. The Conservatives have pledged to abolish …
