UK, "The Times": Starmer tries in extremis to calm the revolt on welfare cuts
The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, is set to launch a last-ditch effort today to head off a fresh internal Labour revolt over disability benefit cuts, but around 50 MPs remain poised to vote against the government's proposal, The Times newspaper reports. After last week's concessions, including an exemption from cuts for existing recipients and a job support scheme, Downing Street is hoping today's announcement of a review of the reform led by the Disability Secretary, Stephen Timms, can “offer clarity and reassurance.”Government sources quoted by The Times newspaper insisted that there would be no further openings, stressing that, in their opinion, the rebels had already been granted everything possible: the direct participation of disabled people's associations in the review, the advancement of employment support measures and exemption from cuts for current beneficiaries.

US tariff relief for UK carmakers and aerospace comes into force

Rod Stewart at Glastonbury: Old school charm from another era
At the age of 80, Rod Stewart has earned the right to do things his way. And if that means turning Glastonbury into a Vegas nightclub for 90 minutes, so be it. The star played the festival's coveted "legends slot" on Sunday afternoon, putting on a show resplendent with glittery suits, saxophone solos and special guests - including Stewart's former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood. With plenty of gold in his back catalogue to draw on, the setlist was an all-timer, from the new wave synths of Young Turks to the beautiful folk melodies of Maggie May and Sailing. And if the set veered towards cheese, at least it was well matured - much like Stewart himself.

Rod Stewart: extremely wealthy and deeply out of touch
And it seems that Rod Stewart really did say that. Speaking to The Times, Stewart admitted: “It's hard for me because I'm extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn't really touch me. Rod Stewart is off my Glastonbury playlist, unless it is to see whether he is booed or not, as I rather hope he will be. Nor do I like people who boast that they're extremely wealthy and that they deserve to be. I used the odd expletive to describe Sir Rod Stewart (knighted, it would now seem, for services to the promotion of prejudice within the status quo) yesterday.
