Jacob Rees-Mogg blew £1,152 of taxpayers’ cash having paintings removed from his Parliamentary office. The Brexiteer and former Commons leader lost his seat in July’s election. All MPs are entitled to claim costs for “winding up” their offices - both in their constituency and in Parliament. According to records published by watchdog IPSA, Mr Rees Mogg claimed the eye-watering sum for the “relocation of paintings etc from Parliament” - despite owning a £5 million mansion a stone’s throw away. In 2018 he bought and renovated a five-story home just 390 yards from the Palace of Westminster, where he lived with his wife and six children. The property is infamously closer to Parliament than 10 Downing Street. Mr Rees-Mogg and his family will shortly star in a Discovery+ documentary - titled "Meet the Moggs". Diving into the familys dynamics, 'Meet the Rees-Moggs' will offer an unprecedented peek at the pre-and-post-election period in their idyllic 17th-century Somerset residence. The show promises to reveal candid family life. The teaser reads: "With exclusive access, this fly-on-the-wall documentary series will be a never-before-seen look into his life at home in the 17th century Somerset house where he lives with his wife and six children."

India’s first glass bridge in the sea opens at Kanyakumari’s Thiruvalluvar statueIncoming President Donald Trump is tapping another Bay Area Republican for a spot in his administration, announcing Monday that he’s nominating the San Francisco legal warrior Harmeet Dhillon for assistant attorney general for civil rights in the U.S. Department of Justice. Dhillon, 56, is a lawyer and Fox News commentator who worked on Trump’s 2020 campaign and Kari Lake’s 2022 bid for governor in Arizona. She also founded a private law practice and a conservative legal nonprofit that challenged Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shutdown orders during the pandemic and represented a formerly transgender activist. In his announcement Monday on Truth Social, Trump praised Dhillon for her efforts “to protect our cherished Civil Liberties” and challenging “woke policies.” “In her new role at the DOJ, Harmeet will be a tireless defender of our Constitutional Rights, and will enforce our Civil Rights and Election Laws FAIRLY and FIRMLY,” Trump said. Dhillon is the latest of several Bay Area figures Trump has tapped for his second administration, joining tech investor David Sacks, Stanford University health policy professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who also owns the former Twitter social media platform X, founded SpaceX and cofounded Neuralink. Dhillon declined to comment for this story, said spokesperson and GOP strategist Matt Shupe. “I’m extremely honored by President Trump’s nomination to assist with our nation’s civil rights agenda,” she said on X, where she has one million followers. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Dhillon would lead the Justice Department’s enforcement of civil and constitutional rights, including the Voting Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The division also prosecutes hate crimes and forces reforms upon police departments marred by misconduct. Dhillon’s prominent role as a Trump attorney and Make America Great Again acolyte has long put her at odds with Newsom and San Franciscans in the famously liberal city, where she has lived for two decades. And although Vice President Kamala Harris easily defeated Trump in Bay Area counties, Dhillon is one of several locals he’s tapping to work in his administration. The incoming president appointed Silicon Valley tech investor Sacks as chief policy advisor on artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Sacks is an associate of Musk, who is co-leading a division in Trump’s administration to slash government spending. To lead the National Institutes of Health, an economist and Stanford professor of health policy. An outspoken critic of the nation’s public health system, he also was a leading critic of government shut-down orders and mask mandates during the pandemic. Dhillon was born in India and moved with her family to rural North Carolina as a child. She told Time Magazine in 2023 she was exposed to conservative politics by her parents, who saw alignment with the GOP’s values and their Sikh religion. Admitted to Dartmouth College at age 16, she landed a job at the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, and went to law school at the University of Virginia. She founded her own law firm in 2006, and later launched the Center for American Liberty, a conservative legal nonprofit. On her watch in 2021, the nonprofit sued California to challenge its pandemic-era ban on indoor worship on behalf of a Pentecostal church in Gilroy. The nonprofit also sued a Monterey County school district for allegedly encouraging a sixth grader to use different pronouns without parental consent, and represented Chloe Cole, a formerly transgender activist from the Central Valley who de-transitioned and now supports bans on gender-affirming care for minors. “If you look at the cases that Harmeet takes on, especially the civil liberties cases, I think they really show her heart for people who are being oppressed,” said Center for American Liberty Executive Director Mark Trammell. He added that Dhillon will defend the civil rights of all in her new post, without regard for someone’s identity or political orientation. But transgender activists and queer media, including the online site LGBTQ Nation, describe her as “anti-trans.” Dhillon is also a longtime politico in national Republican circles, despite having never held office herself. In 2008 and 2012, she ran unsuccessfully to represent San Francisco in the Legislature and was trounced by Democratic candidates, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. In 2023, Dhillon also fell short in her bid to chair the Republican National Committee. She was an advisor on Trump’s 2020 campaign but didn’t personally participate in its legal battles to challenge election results, said Shupe, the spokesperson. Those efforts were widely dismissed as without merit. “She did not do any of the lawsuits actually charging any of the results,” Shupe said. Elsewhere, Dhillon represented Trump in a legal victory against pornographic actress Stormy Daniels last year, as well as former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who was accused of gender-based discrimination by producer Abby Grossberg.

Iowa followed its lowest-scoring game of the season with a 110-point eruption the next time out. The Hawkeyes will be one week removed from that scorching effort when they host Northwestern in Tuesday's Big Ten opener in Iowa City, but rust won't be the only roadblock for a potential repeat showing. Iowa (6-1) also is bracing for stiffer competition in conference play while navigating an injury to Seydou Traore. The reserve forward suffered a sprained ankle midway through the first half of a 110-77 home rout of South Carolina Upstate on Nov. 26. Also missing frontcourt contributors Even Brauns and Cooper Koch, the Hawkeyes still flexed their resilience and depth. Brock Harding notched a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds and Owen Freeman netted 17 points as five Iowa players scored in double figures. "Coming off a loss, going into Thanksgiving break here, we've got a couple days off coming, it'd be easy to kinda (think), ‘All right, let's relax for this one, guys sit out,'" Harding said. "But I think we really locked in." Northwestern (6-2) overcame 40.8 percent shooting to defeat UNLV 66-61 in the third-place game of the Arizona Tip-Off on Friday in Tempe, Ariz. Brooks Barnhizer, a preseason All-Big Ten pick who was sidelined by a foot injury during the Wildcats' first four games, had team highs of 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists. He has scored at least 20 points in three of four games. Northwestern limited UNLV to a 42.1 percent effort from the floor. Matthew Nicholson propelled the defense with two of the Wildcats' seven steals to go with two blocks. "We're a defensive-minded team and, you know, our identity is just getting stops," Barnhizer said. "Everything else will take care of itself. So, the older guys were trying to come out here and do that tonight and I think we did a pretty good job of it." Strong ‘D' helped Northwestern's ball movement, too, as the Wildcats assisted on 15 of 20 made field goals. Northwestern went 8-for-18 (44.4 percent) from long range to improve to 3-0 this season when connecting on 40 percent of its 3-point shots or better. --Field Level MediaThe prospect of a reverse poaching situation has stirred up a lot of excitement and speculation in the football community.

WARSAW, Poland -- Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski has been selected by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s centrist Civic Coalition as its candidate in next year's presidential election, beating out Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski. Tusk announced the decision at a party gathering on Saturday, a day after more than 22,000 party members voted in a primary to select who should run to replace the incumbent, Andrzej Duda. Tusk said Trzaskowski won nearly 75% of the votes, and Sikorski slightly over 25%. Political observers in Poland say Tusk's pro-European Union party has already put itself in a strong position ahead of the presidential election by showing that it had two strong candidates, generating a buzz around them and allowing party members to choose in a democratic process. “We are responsible people, we are responsible for the fate of our homeland today,” Tusk told supporters at the party event. He said it was only the start of what is expected to be a difficult campaign. The primary process distinguishes Tusk's party from its main rival, the national conservative Law and Justice party, known by its acronym PiS, whose candidate will be handpicked by leader Jarosław Kaczyński. The candidate is expected to be announced at a party convention in Krakow on Sunday. “In PiS, one vote matters, while we value every vote, and that’s how we differ,” Trzaskowski told party members in his acceptance speech. “I’m convinced that we’re coming out of this primary stronger, we’re all stronger, and I have a very strong mandate and a lot of energy, determination and courage to beat PiS.” Sikorski congratulated Trzaskowski and promised his support. Trzaskowski has long been considered the obvious candidate for Tusk’s party but was recently challenged by Sikorski, who argued that his experience in security and defense issues made him the better choice at a time of war in neighboring Ukraine and political change in the United States. But party members overwhelmingly stuck with Trzaskowski — and were in a good mood as they gathered over coffee and cookies after cheering the outcome. One, Małgorzata Kobus, told The Associated Press that she voted for Trzaskowski because he has been an excellent mayor, preserving green spaces and historical monuments in the capital. She also appreciates that he is highly educated and fluent in several foreign languages. Another, Hanna Szulczewska, thinks Trzaskowski is well suited to the difficult times in a region near Ukraine. She was persuaded by polls that show Trzaskowski would have a better chance of beating out candidates from other parties. “I am really convinced that he will make a fantastic president,” she said. “And strategically we really need a strong candidate.” Trzaskowski, 52, has been mayor since 2018 and has overseen a rapidly changing city of nearly 2 million people that has absorbed large numbers of Ukrainian refugees. He ran for president in 2020, barely losing to Duda. A first round of the presidential election is due to be held in May, and a possible runoff two weeks later if no candidate gets an outright majority in the first round. President Duda will complete his second five-year term in August 2025 and is prevented by the constitution from running again. It is a priority for Tusk to have an ally win the presidency because it will determine whether he can fulfill his agenda. He is currently unable to complete some of his campaign promises because Duda wields veto power over legislation, but also because of opposition within his own three-party coalition. The Civic Coalition is led by Tusk’s party Civic Platform and also includes smaller parties including the Greens.Oncocyte dd-cfDNA Assay Detects Kidney Transplant Rejection 11+ Months Ahead of Standard Protocols, New Study AffirmsTitle: Bashar Steps Down, US and Israel Vie for Credit?However, despite the efforts to secure a new deal, sources suggest that the player could opt to leave the club next summer in search of regular playing time at a club where he can further develop his skills and make a name for himself on the big stage.
