A crunch by-election which could decide the future of Keir Starmer will go “down to the wire”, senior Labour figures have admitted as the party faces the prospect of defeat to either the Greens or Reform UK. But the bookies have made the Green Party odds-on favourites to win, with Reform just behind them in a nail-biting three-way struggle. Advertisement“A vote for the Green Party is, in effect, a vote for Reform. via Associated PressLabour deputy leader Lucy Powell told HuffPost UK that both the Greens and Reform have under-estimated the resilience of Labour’s support. Only a vote for Reform is a vote to put the people of Gorton and Denton where they belong – first.”

The Trump administration’s latest policy of deporting immigrants to “third countries” to which they have no ties is unlawful and must be set aside, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in a case that already reached the nation’s highest court. US District Judge Brian E. Murphy in Massachusetts agreed to suspend his decision for 15 days, giving the government time to appeal his latest ruling in the case. The policy “extinguishes valid challenges to third-country removal by effecting removal before those challenges can be raised,” the judge concluded. DHS issued its new policy guidance for third-country removals on March 30, two days after Murphy’s order. Murphy said the DHS third-country removal policy has targeted immigrants who were granted protection from being sent back to their home countries, where they feared being tortured or persecuted in other ways.

Despite the woes for rotation depth early this offseason, there is quietly a lot of competition for the back of the bullpen. Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, Dylan Dodd, Hayden Harris, and James Karinchak all had strong outings out of the bullpen Wednesday, with Harris and Karinchak looking especially impressive. The Braves have four bullpen locks or near locks with Raisel Iglesias, Robert Suarez, Aaron Bummer, Dylan Lee. Meanwhile, Wentz and Jose Suarez are out of minor league options. Braves NewsAustin Riley went yard, as Baldwin and Profar collected extra-base hits against Paul Skenes and bullpen competitors shined in a 3-1 Spring Training win.

Oliver “Power” Grant, the close Wu-Tang Clan affiliate who oversaw the group’s enormously popular Wu Wear fashion line, has died. Grant’s death was confirmed by social media posts from several Wu-Tang members including Method Man, who wrote “Paradise my Brother safe Travels! His passing is a profound loss to us all.”AdvertisementThe group members’ posts did not cite a cause of death. Grant, a childhood friend of Wu-Tang co-founder RZA’s older brother, was a crucial figure in the sprawling New York hip-hop collective’s ascent. The line was later revamped as Wu-Tang Brand, and relaunched as Wu Wear in 2017.

Donald Trump might never have been president but for an Iraq War backlash that shattered trust in establishment leaders. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, left, watches as President Bush talks about the devastation at the Pentagon in Washington, on September 12, 2001. Pablo Martinez Monsivais/APBefore invading Iraq, Bush spent months making the case for war — albeit one based on faulty intelligence and false premises. The Iraq War was expected to be a “shock and awe” breeze, and US troops expected to be greeted as liberators. He can hardly embrace a nuclear pact that looks anything like the Obama-era caps on Iran’s nuclear program, which he trashed.

Construction work on new homes in the Twin Cities has stalled since Operation Metro Surge, CNN reports. “Haley Chinander, an analyst at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, said tariffs have had a negative effect on most of the businesses that responded. “In the north metro, Fridley and Columbia Heights superintendents Brenda Lewis and Zena Stenvik lead districts that each span less than 6 square miles and serve fewer than 3,500 students,” reports the Minnesota Star Tribune. “But their diverse schools have experienced an outsized impact during Operation Metro Surge, with the detention of several students and dozens of parents. “The float valve is also difficult to see, which could lead the user to think it is safe to open the lid when the cooker is still under pressure.”

A Donald Trump appointee at the Department of Homeland Security told state election officials from around the country Wednesday that federal immigration agents won’t be deployed to polling places during the 2026 midterms, according to multiple sources on the call. There was silence from federal officials when Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows asked that they make a public statement affirming state sovereignty over election administration. Bellows told reporters after the call that she appreciated the federal government reminding election administration offiicals what role it does have to play in elections – such as investigating threats against election officials. The call, held by officials from the Justice Department, FBI, DHS and the Election Assistance Commission, was a chance for federal and state election officials to share information on election administration and security procedures ahead of the midterms. “Election officials have been preparing for the 2026 elections since December 2024 - where have the feds been for the last 15 months?”

Trump’s address Tuesday provided few if any clues as to his ultimate intentions. Iran has amassed a worrisome amount of highly enriched uranium for which there is no other use but a nuclear weapon, although it has repeatedly said it has no intention of producing one. A number of Republicans and Democrats have said that military pressure on Iran can be useful if it leads to a nuclear deal. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency says more than 7,000 people were killed during the demonstrations. “If there is political will on all sides, I believe the deal can be reached as soon as possible.”
