"Trahison sur les pensions" et "Musk envisage de financer Farage"

-

 Les récents titres de la presse britannique ont mis en lumière deux grandes actualités :




"Nous avons été trahies"

Le Daily Mirror a mis en avant la colère des militants suite à la décision du gouvernement de refuser des compensations aux femmes touchées par les changements de l’âge de la retraite d’État. La secrétaire au Travail et aux Pensions, Liz Kendall, a soutenu que ces indemnités, qui pourraient atteindre 10,5 milliards de livres sterling, imposeraient une charge financière excessive aux contribuables.


"Musk prêt à financer Farage"

D’après le Daily Express, Elon Musk, l’homme le plus riche du monde, envisagerait de soutenir financièrement Reform UK, le parti politique dirigé par Nigel Farage. Farage, accompagné du trésorier du parti, Nick Candy, aurait récemment rencontré Musk dans la résidence de Donald Trump à Mar-a-Lago pour discuter d’un éventuel financement. Bien qu’aucune somme précise n’ait été confirmée, Farage a indiqué que Musk pourrait soutenir le parti via ses entreprises basées au Royaume-Uni, telles que Tesla ou X, afin de respecter les lois interdisant les dons étrangers aux partis politiques.


Ces actualités mettent en évidence les débats en cours au Royaume-Uni sur la réforme des pensions de l’État et l’implication de figures internationales dans la politique nat

Liverpool will 'stay humble' - but lead at top 'feels different'

-
At first it was just a small section of fans singing it. 'Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league... Liverpool, top of the league' they chanted after Curtis Jones marked his 100th Premier League appearance by sweeping his side into a 2-1 lead against struggling Leicester. It was much louder after Mohamed Salah scored his 19th club goal of the season in the 82nd minute to seal a 3-1 win. Having fallen behind in the fifth minute, Liverpool were well on their way to a win that propelled them seven points clear at the top with one game in hand on their nearest rivals. Of course, Liverpool have been here before. In the 2018-19 season, they led by 10 points only for Manchester City to win the title. "It feels different," Salah, who is out of contract in the summer, told Amazon Prime about Liverpool's advantage at the top after overcoming Leicester.

"It’s rare in life to be the first to do something, but tonight, we were the first to play and win a playoff game in Notre Dame Stadium. That’s something we’ll cherish forever." Defensive coordinator Al Golden, who has helped build a strong defense, reflected on the significance of the moment. "Notre Dame's history is so rich that it's hard to be part of a 'first,' but now everyone in that locker room can say they were part of history," Golden said. Notre Dame jumped to a 14-0 lead early, thanks to Jeremiyah Love’s record-breaking 98-yard touchdown run and a long 16-play drive ending in Riley Leonard’s pass to Jayden Thomas. Love’s run was the longest in CFP history, tied for the longest in Notre Dame history, and the longest play Indiana has ever allowed. Despite recovering from a knee injury and illness, Love ma...
