Why won't Keir Starmer engage with Commonwealth on reparations?
Representatives of Gambia, Ghana and Lesotho have called for reparations to be made, as have indigenous leaders from Australia, New Zealand, The Bahamas and Canada. Jamaica's sports minister, Olivia Grange, said in 2021: "Our African ancestors were forcibly removed from their home and suffered unparalleled atrocities to carry out forced labour to the benefit of the British Empire. For the most part though, the response of the British state has been stonewalling at best and outright denial at worst. The Commonwealth, too, is starting to look like it could soon be consigned to the dustbin of history. The sun may finally be setting on the British Empire but the Prime Minister, it appears, is not willing to risk alienating those prepared to rage against the dying of the light.

Pearses veteran values recent rise after several near misses
Emmet Kelly of Padraig Pearses in action against Darragh Sheehy of St Brigid’s during the 2020 Roscommon SFC final at Dr Hyde Park. “That was a big monkey to get off the back in 2019,” Kelly admitted, when speaking to the Westmeath Independent in advance of this Sunday’s county final. “You have a different mindset, you're a bit calmer, you can see out a game if the game is tight. “It was well documented that we were looking to get that game,” Kelly replied. They got to a junior semi-final as well so confidence is high in their club.”Asked about the buzz of preparing for a county final, Kelly replied: “Honestly, I love playing.

Rise of the introvert economy: When did cancelling plans become cool?
I absolutely live for nice plans, and for seeing people that I like. “We know both human connection and a sense of control are important for our mental wellbeing. Cancelling plans is a way of saying ‘I’m in control’. Dr Barber stresses that at least some human connection is important. So while many may joke about cancelling plans, there is a yearning for human connection, even if it’s masked by anxiety.

Leinster pull off fine win over Connacht
Leinster pull off fine win over ConnachtPA Sport StaffLeinster made it back-to-back interprovincial wins as the United Rugby Championship leaders overcame Connacht 33-12 at Dexcom Stadium. Individual errors made it a night to forget for Connacht, who crossed the whitewash through Sean O’Brien and replacement Cathal Forde. Leinster captain James Ryan had a try ruled out for accidental offside, before Connacht edged their way downfield despite some small kicking gains into a tricky wind. Connacht stalwart Denis Buckley put O’Brien over in the 33rd minute, yet Leinster added a third try before the interval as Snyman picked up a loose ball to score. Deegan powered over five minutes after the restart, as the flanker turned Byrne’s low bouncing pass into a five-pointer.

It’s every girl's dream to play in this,” Brennan remarked at a media day for their Women’s FAI Cup final against Shels. While last year’s FAI Cup showpiece victory over Shels was a monumental achievement for Athlone, the Midlanders weren’t prepared to stop there. Hopefully we can get them down on Sunday to support us in the Cup and we can hopefully do it.

Banks to reveal whether July's rate cut has been passed on to mortgage and loan customers
Banks are to reveal whether Britons are benefiting from lower interest rates in their first major update since borrowing costs were cut this summer. Investors will be keen to see if July's rate cut has been passed on to mortgage and loan customers as Barclays, NatWest and Lloyd's report third quarter results this week. Barclays is set to announce earnings of £2 billion, up from £1.9 billion and NatWest £1.5 billion up from £1.3 billion. Investors will also study loan and deposit growth, any asset impairments, litigation costs and cash returns to investors. That is key to why analysts think banks may struggle to grow earnings substantially from here.'
