Digested week: Tom Tugendhat is a serious politician. What’s he doing in a Reform-lite Tory frontbench? | John Crace

4 septembre 2026 à 07:49

Want to see how small the gene pool of Tory talent is? I give you Andrew Griffith as shadow chancellor. Also this week: Starmer’s Fomo, and telly wars

It’s the end of summer and Kemi Badenoch chose to mark the occasion with a reshuffle of her shadow cabinet. Her aim is apparently to get the Tories match fit in case Andy Burnham calls an early general election, but the vibes are much more rearranging the deckchairs on a sinking ship. After all, when the gene pool of talent is that small, there’s not much you can do. James Cleverly got the ball rolling by announcing he was planning to be the Conservative candidate for London mayor in two years’ time. He may have his work cut out. London is a liberal, multicultural city and unlikely to be won over by a party giving up on net zero and the European convention on human rights.

Republican oversight chair James Comer has also weighed in on Leon Black not sitting for a deposition about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The billionaire financier, who has denied wrongdoing, filed suit against the oversight committee Thursday alleging the subpoenas were improper.

“It’s a shame Leon Black is hiding behind litigation rather than provide answers to the American people. Our investigation is examining how the federal government for decades failed survivors of Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes and how Mr. Epstein sought to curry favor with influential individuals to avoid scrutiny,” Comer said in a statement. “Mr. Black’s testimony is crucial to our investigation as he was one of Mr. Epstein’s fee paying clients and has several nondisclosure agreements.”

La Russie serait la principale destination étrangère des voitures volées au Canada

1 septembre 2026 à 21:02

Selon le New York Times, Interpol, l’organisation internationale de police criminelle, a reçu depuis février 2024 le signalement de presque 5000 véhicules volés au Canada et retrouvés ensuite en Russie.

Les sanctions internationales actuellement en vigueur contre la Russie interdisent d’exporter des biens vers le territoire russe. 

Une de leurs conséquences est que, en Russie, des consommateurs cherchent à se procurer des véhicules sur le marché noir.

Cette demande alimenterait les vols de voiture au Canada et dans d’autres pays.  

  • Ces véhicules volés sont ensuite cachés dans des conteneurs pour être acheminés en Russie.

Le Parti Québécois propose, comme les conservateurs, de détaxer les biens usagés 

1 septembre 2026 à 20:37

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon s’est engagé hier à supprimer la taxe de vente du Québec sur les biens usagés. 

Cette taxe de près de 10% s’applique: 

  • à presque tous les biens usagés vendus par une entreprise; 
  • aux voitures d’occasion achetées à un commerçant ou un particulier. 

Le Parti conservateur avait déjà proposé cette mesure en 2022 et l’a réitérée dimanche.

Québec solidaire retirerait la taxe de vente sur certains produits d’épicerie et sur des vêtements d’occasion pour enfants. 

La Caq et le Parti libéral ne supprimeraient pas la TVQ sur les biens usagés.
