Forbes: S&P 500 Has Best Day In 6 Weeks—Clinching Key Election Indicator In Kamala Harris’ Favor
U.S. stocks rallied ahead of the upcoming election, with the S&P 500 rising 1.2% and gaining 11.5% over the last three months. Historically, strong S&P performance has accurately predicted election outcomes, favoring the incumbent party's nominee.

Fox News: Battleground states' recount rules vary widely, here's a look at how they work
Each of the seven major battleground states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—has unique rules for requesting ballot recounts after close elections. These rules specify the conditions under which candidates can initiate recounts and the timelines for doing so.
For example, Arizona mandates an automatic recount if the leading candidate's margin is 0.5% or less, while Georgia allows recount requests under similar conditions but requires action within two days post-certification.

GB News: REVEALED: Five ways farmers have been shafted by Rachel Reeves that were hidden in the detail
The recent budget announced by Rachel Reeves has raised concerns among farmers due to several new tax policies. Notably, pick-up trucks, essential for many farmers, have been reclassified as company cars, leading to a significant increase in tax liabilities. Additionally, a new carbon border adjustment mechanism could raise fertilizer costs substantially, threatening the viability of British agriculture.
Critics argue that the freeze on the agriculture budget since 2014, coupled with a 20% inheritance tax on assets over £1 million, will further burden farmers, potentially forcing them to sell land to cover tax bills. This has sparked protests and a petition against the so-called "family farm tax," which has garnered 150,000 signatures.
