Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng warns that Labour's economic policies have left them in a difficult position with "no easy way out." He believes the current government's approach will hinder growth and could lead to a recession, necessitating higher taxes.
Kwarteng's comments follow legal action from Liz Truss against Labour leader Keir Starmer for claims that she caused an economic crash during her tenure. Truss argues that market reactions post-mini-budget were not a crash and attribute issues to the Bank of England's actions.

Le Monde: Warning bells over cost of French debt
French Prime Minister François Bayrou faces challenges in balancing the 2025 budget amid rising interest rates, which have increased from under 2.9% to nearly 3.45% since his appointment. This rise complicates the government's efforts to manage public debt and deficits.
Economists warn that this trend may continue, marking a significant shift from the historically low rates seen in recent decades. The French government will be burdened with higher interest payments as it seeks to cover its public deficit.

The Western Journal: Watch: Criminals Learn of New California Theft Law the Hard Way
California's recent Proposition 36 has introduced stricter penalties for repeat offenders and those committing multiple thefts. This change has led to increased arrests, as demonstrated by the Seal Beach Police Department, which shared a video of suspects realizing the new legal consequences during their arrests.
The montage highlights the former leniency towards petty theft, with thieves expecting minimal repercussions. The shift in law enforcement's approach aims to deter such behavior, reinforcing the idea that consequences matter in maintaining societal order.
