UK's smoking ban passes first Parliamentary hurdle, Sunak faces Tory rebellion over ban
wionews.com/videos/uks-smoking-ban-passes-first-parliamentary-hurdle-sunak-faces-tory-rebellion-over-ban-712072
Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill
- The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.
- The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.
- The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.
- The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

Quick Glance: Neighbor Claims Angela Rayner Lost Control Over Broken Window
- Angela Rayner confronted neighbors, demanding £240 and identifying herself as 'the landlady' after a window was smashed at the property she claimed as her main residence.
- An investigation by Greater Manchester police is looking into allegations that the deputy Labour leader provided inaccurate information to the electoral register while residing between two houses in Stockport during the 2010s, and they have initiated interviews with neighbors at her previous residence.
- Police intervention occurred following accusations by prominent Conservatives, including James Daly, the Conservative deputy chairman, of electoral law violations and questioning whether she owed up to £3,500 in capital gains tax on proceeds from the sale of her former council house in 2015.
- Rayner asserted that the residence on Vicarage Road was her primary domicile.

- The document was filed at Britain’s corporate registrar, Companies House, to update the official residency of the British royal for business records of Travalyst Limited.
- There had been little official confirmation of Harry’s residency status until this week, with an entry indicating a change of residency to June 29, 2023, the day the couple left Frogmore Cottage, their British home.
- It is unclear what type of U.S. visa or residency permit Harry holds, despite efforts by conservative activists in the U.S. to ascertain them, including an ongoing lawsuit.

Quick Glance: Europe's Economy Falling Behind: Enrico Letta Urges Action
- Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta suggests using European savings for the green and digital transition, pooling 10% of state aid, and initiating a new recovery plan to help the European economy catch up with the US.
- Letta presented his report on the internal market to the EU-27 in Brussels, highlighting that only a minority of companies and citizens in Europe fully benefit from the internal market, leading to the EU lagging behind the US and China.
- European companies underutilize economies of scale in sectors like energy, telecoms, and financial markets within the internal market. The market fragmentation hinders growth and competitiveness against global counterparts.
- Letta advocates for creating a fifth freedom for research, innovation, and skills within the internal market and updating competition rules in strategic sectors to promote European champions and ensure consumer protection.
