casino game roulette Keir Starmer will attempt to reset his premiership with a series of pledges to show he is “delivering change”, including 13,000 extra neighbourhood police and a named “bobby on every beat”. In a speech Labour hopes will set out the “next phase” of government, the prime minister will detail half a dozen “milestone” targets covering living standards, NHS backlogs, secure energy, housebuilding and children’s readiness for school. As part of a promise to crack down on crime and antisocial behaviour, he will say that every neighbourhood in England and Wales will have a named, contactable police officer. Each police force will also have an antisocial behaviour lead tasked with coming up with ways to tackle concerns raised by local residents and businesses. Starmer will pledge 13,000 more neighbourhood police, PCSOs and special constables by 2029, with an additional £100m of funding. “These officers must demonstrably spend time on visible patrol and not be taken off the beat to plug shortages elsewhere,” he will say. The boost would bring the total police workforce to a level above its 2010 peak. After ministers were accused of blindsiding businesses with a in the budget, the heads of three high street retailers – Asda, Co-op and McDonald’s – endorsed the “neighbourhood policing guarantee”. The promise will prompt comparisons with the Blair-era “tough on crime” slogan. Many of the plans were first outlined by Labour last year. The attempted reboot – labelled Starmer’s “plan for change” – follows a rocky first five months in power for the government. A was welcomed by campaigners for greater spending on public services but and led to protests by farmers. Starmer has also faced a row over ministers enjoying freebies, and the and , who quit after it emerged she had been convicted of fraud over a missing work phone. The Conservative party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has branded Thursday’s speech an “emergency reset”. But Starmer will say claim that the new “milestones” are the next phase of the he said would shape a Labour government. But it is also a tacit admission that those missions are being dumped as they were either too woolly or not achievable. The missions were: achieving the highest growth out of G7 countries, making Britain a “clean energy superpower”, halving serious violent crime, breaking down “barriers to opportunity” and building an NHS “fit for the future”. No 10 insiders have argued that numerical targets are more memorable for voters. “We’ll be putting them [the missions] into layman’s terms,” said one source last week. The Guardian has reported that the planned reset is being driven by Morgan McSweeney, who replaced Gray as chief of staff. “Morgan knows our best chance of holding off a populist surge, and winning Keir a second term, is delivering noticeable change to voters,” an ally said. In his speech on Thursday, Starmer will say: “My government was elected to deliver change, and today marks the next step. People are tired of being promised the world, but short-term sticking plaster politics is letting them down. “Hardworking Brits are going out grafting every day but are getting short shrift from a politics that should serve them. They reasonably want a stable economy, their country to be safe, their borders secure, more cash in their pocket, safer streets in their town, opportunities for their children, secure British energy in their home, and an NHS that is there when they need it. My mission-led government will deliver.” On the crime and antisocial behaviour plan, he will add: “The neighbourhood policing guarantee will deliver 13,000 extra neighbourhood police, visible on your streets, cracking down on antisocial behaviour. A named, contactable officer in every community. A relief to millions of people scared to walk their streets they call home. “But it’s a pledge that is only possible because we are matching investment with reform; standardising procurement, streamlining specialist services like forensics, and ending the madness of 43 forces purchasing their own cars and uniforms.” Shops have complained of facing an in the past year, fuelled in large part by the cost of living crisis. Liz Evans, the chief commercial officer at Asda, said: “Asda welcomes the introduction of the neighbourhood policing guarantee and the new role for businesses in shaping local policing priorities. “At the heart of communities, retailers see every day the devastating impact retail crime is having on our colleagues and our customers. The changes introduced today are positive, and Asda stands ready to work in partnership with our new neighbourhood officers to help reduce crime and improve safety in the communities we serve.” Alistair Macrow, the CEO of McDonald’s UK, said: “Addressing and raising awareness of antisocial behaviour is essential in keeping high streets and local communities safe.” Paul Gerrard, Co-op’s campaigns and public affairs director, said: “The Co-op sees every day in our stores and in the communities they serve the impact of crime and antisocial behaviour so we welcome the government’s action today.” Police numbers fell following the 2010 election, when David Cameron came to power, before rising again after 2019 as the previous government pledged to recruit 20,000 police officers. While the number of officers reached record levels, the number of PCSOs and special constables continued to decline. The Conservatives said only a third of the 13,000 new recruits would be full police officers, while the £100m would not cover what was needed to pay for them, leading to cuts elsewhere. Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: “The Conservatives recruited over 20,000 extra police officers and gave the police an extra £922m for policing this year, ensuring the police could protect the public and prosecute more criminals. Starmer has once again misled the public by claiming to recruit an extra 13,000 officers when the actual number is 3,000, and even that is not properly funded.”Netanyahu tells Israel parliament 'some progress' on Gaza hostage dealNoneThe Good Brigade/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis Hello Group Inc.

HPH Announces Receipt of Minimum Bid Price Notice from NasdaqScented candles are a fabulous Christmas gift idea , particularly for those who seem to have everything. They not only make the home smell divine but also create a cosy ambience and serve as a luxurious indulgence that most people wouldn't splurge on themselves. As a self-confessed candle hoarder, I've burned through hundreds in my lifetime and always have a stash ready to go. Now that my autumnal scents have been used up, I'm reaching for festive fragrances as we approach Christmas. Think rich spices, fresh pine and seasonal citrus fruits, all ideally presented in a jar that's a bit special or sparkly. Here are my top picks for every budget... Yankee Candle London Christmas Tea Signature Large Jar 567g: Was £29.99, now £20.99 from Debenhams NEOM Winter Wellbeing Candle Trio 3 x 75g: Was £48, now £38.40 from LookFantastic Diptyque Sapin Classic Candle 190g: £68 from Diptyque Yankee Candle Collection Gift Set: Was £60, now £29.50 from Boots The White Company Winter Mercury Luxury Votive Candle 95g: £16 from LookFantastic NEST New York Holiday Classic Candle & Diffuser Set: £95 from Sephora M&S London Light Up Scented Candle: £10 from Marks & Spencer ESPA Winter Spice Candle 200g: Was £45, now £40.50 from LookFantastic Liz Earle Spiced Bitter Orange Botanical Candle 220g: Was £37, now £27.75 from Liz Earle Space NK Shimmering Spice 3-Wick Scented Candle 400g: £42 from Space NK The White Collection Gingerbread Scented Candle 160g: £8 from Boots Lords Abernethy Forest Winter 3 Wick Candle 650g: £62 from Lords Was £29.99, now £20.99 from Debenhams Big, heavy and strongly scented, Yankee Candles are guaranteed crowd-pleasers. Its Christmas collection is inspired by festive celebrations around the world, including this London Christmas Tea fragrance , with notes of ginger, black tea, cinnamon and woods. Was £48, now £38.40 from LookFantastic I'm a huge fan of NEOM's candles, and this year's Christmas collection is just stunning, with gorgeous packaging and scents that really fill the home. Unsure which scent to go for? Buy this three-piece set , which contains a 75g candle of each: cinnamon-y Christmas Wish, pine-inspired Perfect Peace, and warm, woody Cosy NIghts. £68 from Diptyque Scented candles don't come much better than Diptyque's and I defy you to find anyone who wouldn't be blown away to receive this as a Christmas present. Sapin – a fresh, earthy, pine tree scent – is one of the brand's most popular at Christmas, and you'll smell it as soon as you open the box. This year's has been designed by artist Lucy Sparrow and features a felt decoration and luxe gold lid. Was £60, now £29.50 from Boots Another Yankee Candle idea, but here's a way to get eight different ones for less than £30 . This gift set usually costs £60 but is currently down to £29.50 as part of Boots' Star Gifts pre-Christmas sales . This means that each product inside – one medium jar, two tumblers, three filled votives and two wax melts – could technically be valued at £3.68. White Spruce & Grapefruit is a lovely fresh, zingy scent, while Black Cherry and Christmas Cookie are perfect for those who love gourmands. £16 from LookFantastic For a candle that looks as good as it smells, go for this chic little White Company votive . What is lacks in size, it makes up for in scent, as it smells exactly like mulled wine tastes: warming, spicy, lightly fruity. Once it's burned down, clean it out and use it as a tea light holder. £95 from Sephora This NEST candle is what we imagine Kris Jenner's house smells like at Christmas; with notes of pomegranate, pine, vanilla and amber, it just smells (and looks) expensive. Your best option is to buy this candle and diffuser set together – it makes the ultimate gift. £10 from Marks & Spencer Another favourite every year, M&S's light up candles are always a hit, often selling out in advance of the festive season; just light the candle in the centre and LED lights will turn on, illuminating a beautiful London scene. It's not the strongest smelling one of the bunch, but what it lacks in powerful aroma it makes up for in dazzling style. The particular London design was sold out online at the time of writing (although you may find it in stores still), but this other light up design is similar . Was £45, now £40.50 from LookFantastic Another that hits your as soon as you open its elaborate box, and another with strong whiffs of mulled wine: sweet orange, clove, cinnamon and ginger. This one has a slightly more spa-like vibe though , high in mood-boosting essential oils, and a smart gold lid. Was £37, now £27.75 from Liz Earle Want a candle that'll see you through the festive period and into spring? This Liz Earle offering is the one for you. Its design is refreshingly spangle-free for a Christmas candle, and its spiced orange scent smells as fresh as it does festive. £42 from Space NK High up on many a beauty editor's Christmas wish list every year, Space NK's stunning Shimmering Spice candle has acquired cult status, with notes of cinnamon, cedar and all spice. I think this big three-wicker is good value compared to many others, but it's also available in 75g (£18) and 190g (£28) . £8 from Boots One for those with a sweet tooth or fans of the current gourmand fragrance trend, this smells like a freshly baked gingerbread house (albeit fairly faintly). For £8 though, it's good value, and I'm impressed that it comes with a metal lid/stand. £62 from Lords This lovely home fragrance brand is a fairly new discovery to me, and I've fallen in love with its scents inspired by locations around the world – including Abernethy Forest in Scotland, with notes of pine needle, cedarwood, eucalyptus, patchouli, peppermint, lavandin and fir balsam. The 225g jar I have is currently out of stock, but the larger three-wick one is still available .Trump selects longtime adviser Keith Kellogg as special envoy for Ukraine and Russia
