9 hidden details buried in Rishi Sunak’s Autumn Statement

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:20:27 GMT

LONDON — With a multibillion-pound tax giveaway, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt hailed his “Autumn Statement for growth” as a sign Britain has “turned a corner.”The star turn was a 2-pence cut to the National Insurance tax paid by 27 million workers, rushed into effect in January. It shows a government in campaign mode, just in time for a general election that could come as early as spring 2024. But not all is rosy for Hunt or PM Rishi Sunak. As ever, the 114-page “green book” of measures — alongside more than 160 pages of analysis from the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) — contain several details buried or ignored in Hunt’s 51-minute speech to MPs. Here’s POLITICO’s spin-busting hot take.1) Frozen tax thresholds dwarf the National Insurance cutWednesday’s National Insurance cut — billed as a crowd-pleasing drop in personal taxes for workers — is dwarfed by the impact of what’s known as “fiscal drag.” That is, effectively, the i...

Law firm sues Austrian town for 27 cents after it closed border crossing to Hungary

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:20:27 GMT

A law firm has sued the Austrian town of Schattendorf for 27 cents in damage because it closed a border crossing between Austria and Hungary. In July, employees of the law firm wanted to cross through the Austrian town to an appointment in the Hungarian town of Agfalva, which they say is the fastest route. The employees, instead, had to take a detour of 3.4 kilometers, costing them 27 cents more in fuel. Schattendorf should now refund this, the law firm argued in court on Wednesday. “We are not doing this out of spite,” Mate Ruzicska, a lawyer at the firm NZP Nagy Legal, said according to Austrian news. The border closure is a breach of the EU’s Schengen law, which requires participating countries to remove all obstacles to smooth traffic flow at internal borders, the law firm argued.The town — a popular transit route for commuters between Austria and Hungary — wanted to reduce traffic by turning the border into a pedestrian crossing from December onward.

I am an expert on polls. Here’s why they can’t tell you if Biden beats Trump again — or vice versa

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:20:27 GMT

By David Lauter, Los Angeles TimesWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has had a tough couple of weeks in polls, deepening the anxiety among his fellow Democrats about his age, political liabilities and the prospect that he could lose a rematch with former President Donald Trump.Biden’s allies pooh-pooh the grim talk. Presidents Clinton and Obama both had miserable polls in the fall of their third years and bounced back to win reelection, they note. Polls a year out from an election have little if any ability to predict the outcome, they add.On both counts, they’re right — up to a point.Related ArticlesPolitics | Ballot questions covering MCAS to psychedelic drugs clear first signature threshold Politics | Trump tops Biden in new national poll Politics | Ohio voted on abortion.

While Jalen Hurts and the passing game struggled in rainy conditions, a big game from running back D’Andre Swift, two rushing touchdowns from Hurts and a clutch 41-yard pass to DeVonta Smith to the Chiefs’ 1-yard line midway through the fourth quarter was enough to fuel the comeback. Two dropped passes on Kansas City’s final drive saved the Philadelphia defense from embarrassment, which is something to watch as the team enters a brutal four-game stre...
