GB News: Rupert Lowe 'unlawfully harassed' two women and 'failed to address toxic conduct', KC report finds - MP denies claims
A report by a barrister for Reform UK found "credible evidence" of unlawful harassment by MP Rupert Lowe and his staff against two women from his parliamentary team. The women filed complaints with the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme, which Lowe denies, claiming the allegations are a smear.
Jacqueline Perry KC noted that the complaints include victimization and discriminatory behavior, suggesting a toxic work environment. Lowe's team has defended him, stating the complaints are vexatious and arose after disciplinary actions against the women.

The Telegraph: Today’s tobacco and vapes legislation is idiotic. The Tories should stand with Reform against it
Kemi Badenoch previously criticized the Tobacco and Vapes Bill for creating a two-tier legal system but has since remained silent as a stronger version re-emerges in Parliament. This silence is seen as complicity, undermining her past stance on personal freedoms and government overreach.
The proposed legislation is viewed as detrimental to small businesses and personal choice, potentially leading to a rise in illegal tobacco trade and associated crimes. Critics argue it sets a dangerous precedent for government control over legal products.

Breitbart: Teamsters Call for Tariffs on Mexican Beer
Teamsters President Sean O’Brien urges President Trump to impose tariffs on Mexican beer to protect U.S. workers in the beer industry from low-wage competition. He highlights that U.S. beer imports from Mexico are rising, threatening jobs and economic stability in the U.S. beer market.
O’Brien argues that current trade policies favor low-road labor practices in Mexico, risking a decline in U.S. brewery production and significant economic losses. The potential impact on companies like Constellation Brands, which relies heavily on Mexican imports, raises concerns about the broader implications of such tariffs.
Breitbart: Trump: Tariffs Will 'Probably Be More Lenient than Reciprocal'
In a recent interview, President Trump discussed his approach to tariffs, indicating they would likely be "more lenient than reciprocal." He emphasized the need for fewer exceptions and highlighted the long-standing trade imbalances with countries like China, India, and Brazil.
Trump's stance suggests a desire to balance trade without imposing overly harsh measures on Americans.

Breitbart: World Athletics to Introduce 'Pre-Clearance' Sex Tests for Female Athletes
World Athletics will implement noninvasive "pre-clearance tests" for female athletes to address concerns over male participation in women's sports. These tests, which include cheek swabs or dry blood tests, aim to ensure the integrity of women's competition and could be introduced as early as September.
Seb Coe emphasized the importance of maintaining a fair playing field, citing new evidence regarding performance gaps before puberty. The decision follows consultations indicating strong support for the tests, which are designed to withstand legal scrutiny.
