EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Harry insists that the US is now his residence but specialist expatriate law firm Blevins Franks warns of the pitfalls: 'HMRC will look for any indication that you see Britain as your homeland and may return one day. Even stating in your will that you wish to be buried in the UK could work against you.' So has Harry stipulated where he will be interred?

According to ALEX BRUMMER, starmer's ban on zero-hours contracts would kill jobs, raise the union barons, and leave us all paying the bill

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 2, 2024
Zero-hours employees have no guarantee of employment and there are no employment rights. And yet many of these devoted employees, cooks, cleaners, nursery assistants, and countless others want a zero-hours job because it provides them with the freedom that suits their schedules. In several instances, such contracts encourage individuals to indulge in their passions while still earning a hefty sum. Joe Dean, a 29-year-old Sheffield man who part-time as a Morrisons delivery man, earned £170,000 at the Kenyan Open last week. Students have the opportunity to study, while others have the opportunity to look after elderly parents, work for charities, or train for more permanent jobs. In short, they provide a large number of people's choice where work is concerned, while still allowing businesses the ability to respond quickly to changing conditions by changing the size of their workforce.

After Commons tumultuous about 'bending rules' to save Starmer on Gaza, the Speaker releases another grovelling apology as he is battered by the 'Just Stop Hoyle' movement, with 50-plus MPs demanding Sir Lindsay resigns and the Prime Minister refusing to support him

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 22, 2024
Following bizarre scenes in the chamber overnight, Speaker Lindsay Hoyle expressed regret for'his conduct as ministers openly debate whether he will live. During tumultuous discussions in the Commons, Labour leader Penny Mordaunt blamed Labour for Sir Lindsay's "damaging" - suggesting that he had been unable to resist pressure from Sir Keir to choose an amendment to a SNP motion calling for a'immediate ceasefire'. Meanwhile, Downing Street has never voiced hope in Sir Lindsay. The amendment decision, which was taken in defiance of Commons Clerks' instructions, meant that Scots nationalists did not have a chance to vote on their own Opposition Day debate. It prompted a walk out from both the SNP and Torries.

Drill rappers sing of real-life murders, stabbings, and gang wars. So why do Labour MPs claim it's 'racist' to use their lyrics as evidence in court?

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 1, 2024
The song is included in the increasingly popular 'UK drill' music style, and it is portrayed by sickening tales of gangland killings, arms, and crime. Rival gangs use songs and videos to goad and insult each other, and this often escalates to real-world brutality. As a result, the music has also appeared in other court cases, allowing lawyers the opportunity to connect murderous thugs to their crimes. If rates of violent crime are on the rise, it seems that no one would think of prohibiting drill lyrics from being admissible in court.

ALEX BRUMMER: The Shadow Chancellor is adopting the City script

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 31, 2024
Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves' statement that a Labour government would not reintroduce the cap on bankers' compensation may spark a few champagne corks on Lombard Street, but it will not be more palatable on the doorsteps. The United Kingdom is strongly invested in free markets, but there is no tolerance for fat cat pay. Labour is difficult to be critical of a sector that accounts for 12% of GDP and has a trade surplus of £92 billion in 2023.

Jonathan Reynolds of Labour: We'd be better than Rishi Sunak, according to Kemi Badenoch and the I BOTH

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 7, 2023
In recent years, Labour has attempted to reassure the business community that it can be trusted with the economy. Jonathan Reynolds, Shadow Business Secretary, is one man who has done his share of the heavy lifting. Reynolds goes to great lengths to emphasize the importance of business relationships, a stark contrast to Jeremy Corbyn's hard-Left period and Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell's. Reynolds would be a good figurehead if Labour is also trying to argue the Tories' 'aspirational' label. Born and raised in Sunderland, his father was a firefighter, and his mother worked for doorstep lender Provident Financial.

Sir Keir admits he owes his success to the first-class education he received for free at this private academy. Yet now he seems determined to destroy it - and hundreds like it - as a class war sop to Labour's Corbynites

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Lady Pamela Hicks is the King's Coronation Queen's Coronation, but there is no place in the King's Coronation

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 20, 2023
EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: There was no space at the Coronation of royal bridesmaid Lady Pamela Hicks, but King Charles has reserved seats for Tuheitia and Te Atawhai, the Maori king and queen. It would be the first time the chief of New Zealand's indigenous peoples has attended a coronation. When Charles and Diana visited in 1983, Maori radicals were welcomed with the traditional whakapohane gesture, which involved barrering their bottoms. Tuheitia and Te Atawhai will be on their best behaviour in the Abbey, according to Charles.

MAIL ON SUNDAY COMMENT: A tolerant - and a Christian - nation

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 9, 2023
COMMENT ON SUNDAY: It was certainly inevitable that the King would eventually disagree with the bishops on his laudable desire to be a broad 'Defender of Faith.' And, of course, Coronation was always going to be the point on which the questions would arise. In general, Christians and non-Christians want to welcome and respect the other faiths that have flourished in this world. We have a lot to learn from them, and we have a lot in common with them. Because of this, their followers have flourished and risen to high positions. There is no point in strife and antagonism, nor is there any point in compassion and generosity. So far, so good. However, despite a growing number of non-believers and the demise of several church congregations, this remains a Christian country in several key respects. Our statutes are based on Christian precepts. In London, a stone figure of Christ stands on the Law Courts. Our music, education, literature, and architecture are rooted in Christian ideas. Possibly over all of these aspects, the thousand-year-old rite by which the King will be crowned is steeped in Christian faith. It would be foolish and cykular to refuse any change in this mighty festival, and it would be appropriate and beneficial to include a larger cross-section of the population in the congregation.
