Sir Keir Starmer has been warned by a trade union not to impose “blunt headcount targets” for the size of the Civil Service but Government sources insisted there would be no set limit, although the number “cannot keep growing”. Departments have been ordered to find 5% “efficiency savings” as part of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ spending review, potentially putting jobs at risk. The size of the Civil Service has increased from a low of around 384,000 in mid-2016, and the Tories went into the general election promising to reduce numbers by 70,000 to fund extra defence spending. Any reduction under Labour would be more modest, with the Guardian reporting more than 10,000 jobs could be lost. A Government spokesman said: “Under our plan for change, we are making sure every part of government is delivering on working people’s priorities — delivering growth, putting more money in people’s pockets, getting the NHS back on its feet, rebuilding Britain and securing our borders in a decade of national renewal. “We are committed to making the Civil Service more efficient and effective, with bold measures to improve skills and harness new technologies.” Mike Clancy, general secretary of the Prospect trade union said: “We need a clear plan for the future of the civil service that goes beyond the blunt headcount targets that have failed in the past. “This plan needs to be developed in partnership with civil servants and their unions, and we look forward to deeper engagement with the government in the coming months.” A Government source said: “The number of civil servants cannot keep growing. “But we will not set an arbitrary cap. “The last government tried that and ended up spending loads on more expensive consultants.” The Government is already risking a confrontation with unions over proposals to limit pay rises for more than a million public servants to 2.8%, a figure only just over the projected 2.6% rate of inflation next year. Unions representing teachers, doctors and nurses have condemned the proposals. In the face of the union backlash, Downing Street said the public sector must improve productivity to justify real-terms pay increases. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “It’s vital that pay awards are fair for both taxpayers and workers.” Asked whether higher pay settlements to staff would mean departmental cuts elsewhere, the spokesman said: “Real-terms pay increases must be matched by productivity gains and departments will only be able to fund pay awards above inflation over the medium-term if they become more productive and workforces become more productive.” TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: “It’s hard to see how you address the crisis in our services without meaningful pay rises. “And it’s hard to see how services cut to the bone by 14 years of Tory government will find significant cash savings. “The Government must now engage unions and the millions of public sector workers we represent in a serious conversation about public service reform and delivery.”Fox News host Sean Hannity reacts to President-elect Donald Trumps popularity as he makes his way back to the White House on Hannity.

One of the main risks of blind self-medication is the lack of understanding of potential interactions between different substances. Herbs and supplements can interact with medications or other health conditions in unexpected ways, leading to harmful outcomes. Without the oversight of a qualified healthcare professional, individuals may inadvertently put themselves at risk by combining substances that could have adverse effects on their health.MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins second-year running back De’Von Achane continues to be one of the NFL’s most electric, exciting players to watch. And better yet, he is seen with the ball in his hands more and more as he handles his increased workload in Year 2 without issue. Achane has stormed past last year’s total touches, 168 in 10 games this year after having 130 in 11 games in 2023. He surpassed his rookie-year carry total two games ago — now at 122 after having 103 attempts last season. And after catching 27 passes last year, his 46 thus far as a second-year pro have him within reach of doubling that mark by Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots . The best part about it all, as Achane has been productive at 4.3 yards per carry along with being more active catching passes, is he hasn’t brushed up with any injury concerns. This after the 5-foot-9, 188-pound speedster had a pair of knee issues in 2023, one which placed him on injured reserve to miss four games. “I feel good,” Achane said this week. “I’m just glad I’m 100 percent healthy. I didn’t have any injuries like I did last season, so I’m just trying to keep that up, just make sure my body is maintained for the rest of the season.” The concussion that took him out early in the first meeting with the Patriots, Oct. 6 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, didn’t even cost him the next game as he recovered over the bye week. He did return to action with a Guardian cap over his helmet, but Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders was the first one he played without it. In that 34-19 win against the Raiders , he had 17 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches for 32 yards. He had 21 touches, while rookie Jaylen Wright had six and veteran Raheem Mostert had three. Related Articles Coach Mike McDaniel went into the game expecting to distribute opportunities more among his three running backs, but Achane’s productivity again couldn’t be kept off the field. “De’Von’s play merited some extra snaps that we were kind of anticipating being a little more level,” he said. “He was really playing well, so in those situations we kind of lean on the hot hand, so to speak, and I think he’s really made it difficult in in-game situations, the last two in particular, to take him off the field. But we try to leave that room for guys to decide for us during the game on how much play time they’ll get and respond appropriately.” Achane hasn’t broken off as many long runs that led to his absurd modern-era record of 7.8 yards per attempt as a rookie, but McDaniel noted how Achane has been more consistent in the run game, turning plays that could go for loss of yards into significant gains. Catching passes was an emphasis for Achane this offseason, and he has a reception on all but five of his targets this season as he has become a go-to for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa while defenses focus in so much on wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Related Articles “We basically just take what the defense gives us,” said Achane, feeling at some point defenses will adjust to open things back up for Hill and Waddle. “We’ve been doing it pretty much all season, so you expect for the defense to try to cover it.” Said offensive coordinator Frank Smith of Achane: “Whatever the game requires, he’s ready for it, and he’s done a great job with everything just making sure he’s ready to go for the season. “He handles everything like a professional, and he’s been helping us win. So, excited for everything he’s done.” Then, there’s the other side of Achane’s uptick in work. The other half of last year’s backfield duo, Mostert, isn’t seeing nearly as much action. “He’s doing a good job,” Mostert said of Achane. “He’s hot right now, and it’s good to see. He’s very impressive. “I’ve dealt with a lot, but I’m here to play a role. And that’s just to get myself better, get everybody else around me better. If my opportunity knocks, I just got to answer the door.” Mostert recently had a sit-down with McDaniel, with whom he goes back to time together in San Francisco, before either of them arrived in Miami. “We just try to see eye to eye. That’s the best thing we can do,” Mostert said. “We had a good conversation, and we see eye to eye now. Moving forward, I told him, he can always come to me, and I’m going to come to (him), as well. We have a lot in common, and a lot of things that we discussed. It was beneficial.”
The spread of false information like this not only creates confusion among the public but also raises false hopes and expectations. It can be particularly disheartening for families who are struggling to afford their children's education and were banking on the possibility of such a program being real. In light of this situation, it is essential for individuals to verify the credibility of news sources before sharing or believing in sensational claims.In conclusion, the concept of Incremental Policy 2.0 holds great promise as a tool for driving economic recovery and growth in a post-pandemic world.

Ruben Amorim has warned fans that "a storm will come" despite his positive start as head coach. Amorim is unbeaten in his three games in charge and led United to their biggest league victory since 2021 with a over on Sunday. The 39-year-old takes his team to on Wednesday and has suggested they will eventually be "found out" while the players continue to get to grips with his methods. "I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come," Amorim said. "I don't know if you use that expression, but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. I know that because I know my players and I know football and I follow football. We are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training. "So let's focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus. I know it's really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. "We want to win all the time, no matter what, we are going to try to win, but we know that we are in a different point, if you compare to Arsenal." While Amorim's players are still learning about his tactical system, Amorim is also learning about United. The Portuguese coach has been in the job for three weeks since , and he has admitted the attention and the workload which comes with managing one of the biggest clubs in the world has taken him by surprise. "A little bit, because you don't know how is life in this kind of club," he said. "So it's always a surprise. I think I can manage that, but you have to do so much more than coach the team. You improve and other things in yourself as a coach, you have to manage the time in a different way. "You have less time to prepare for the games, not just because you are playing after two days, but also because you have a lot to do. I can say I was a little bit surprised, but at the same time I was expecting something different."None
