THE TELEGRAPH: Revelations made amid ongoing wrangling between the monarch and his disgraced younger brother
The King has severed the Duke of York’s “£1 million-a-year” allowance in recent weeks, it has emerged.
In an updated biography about the monarch, author Robert Hardman revealed that King Charles has instructed his Keeper of the Privy Purse to “sever” his brother’s living allowance.
The new chapters of Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, serialised by the Daily Mail, includes a palace insider confirming that “the Duke is no longer a financial burden on the King”.
The news comes amid ongoing wrangling between the monarch and his disgraced younger brother about his living situation in the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge home in Windsor Great Park.
The King, who was said to be losing patience with Prince Andrew in the early summer, was previously understood to have threatened to withdraw the funding that allows Andrew to keep living in the house, which has extensive upkeep requirements.
The Duke’s annual allowance – believed to be upwards of £1 million – has reportedly now been cut by the monarch, as have all payments towards his seven-figure private security detail. » | India McTaggart, Royal Correspondent | Friday, November 1, 2024

Liz Cheney Likens Trump to Dictator after He Suggests She Face Firing Squad
THE GUARDIAN: Former congresswoman says Trump ‘wants to be a tyrant’ following former president’s comments
Donald Trump has called former congresswoman Liz Cheney a radical war hawk and said she should face being under fire with rifles “shooting at her” – prompting the anti-Trump Republican to warn the public against dictatorship and a presidential candidate who “wants to be a tyrant”.
Cheney recently endorsed Kamala Harris and has campaigned with her, trying to persuade Republicans who don’t want Trump to win another term in the White House in this election to vote for the Democratic ticket of the US vice-president and her running mate, Tim Walz. » | Maya Yang and Joanna Walters in New York and Chris Stein in Glendale, Arizona | Friday, November 1, 2024

Republicans Preparing to Reject US Election Result If Trump Loses, Warn Strategists
THE GUARDIAN: Polling experts point to ‘fake polls’ exaggerating his support, with baseless lawsuits alleging fraud already filed
Republicans are already laying the ground for rejecting the result of next week’s US presidential election in the event Donald Trump loses, with early lawsuits baselessly alleging fraud and partisan polls exaggerating his popularity to make it harder for his supporters to accept that he did not win, veteran strategists say.
The warnings – from Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans – come as Americans prepare to vote on Tuesday in the most consequential presidential contest in generations. Most polls show Trump running neck and neck with Kamala Harris, the vice-president and Democratic nominee, with the two candidates seemingly evenly matched in seven key swing states. » | Robert Tait in Washington | Friday, November 1, 2024

‘He’s Like a Gangster’: How Tommy Robinson Became Leader of Britain’s Far Right
THE GUARDIAN: The activist’s latest imprisonment and run-in with the law may serve only to boost his popularity and brand of hatred
far-right activist Tommy Robinson was characteristically defiant. “Death, prison or glory, we will never submit to your lies,” he declared. “They want to send me to jail [but] the world will know I told the truth.”
On Monday, Robinson was duly sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court. He had shown no remorse and there was no realistic prospect of rehabilitation, said Mr Justice Johnson at Woolwich crown court. “All of his actions so far suggest that he regards himself as above the law.”
In the dock, Robinson pumped his chest and saluted his loyal supporters in the public gallery. They blew kisses back. He was taken to Belmarsh high-security prison in south-east London.
The jailing of Robinson is the latest episode in his apparently inexorable rise from the owner of a tanning salon in Luton, Bedfordshire, to the brash pin-up hero of the far right in the UK, the US and beyond. He is, arguably, the most potent individual to have emerged on the British far right since Enoch Powell. » | Harriet Sherwood and Ben Quinn | Friday, November 1, 2024
