Scottish leaders vow to work with new PM - in contrast to Liz Truss

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has congratulated Rishi Sunak "notwithstanding our political differences".
Ms Sturgeon had become embroiled in a war of words with Mr Sunak's predecessor Liz Truss amid calls for another referendum on Scottish independence.
She says in a tweet: "That he becomes the first British Asian - indeed the first from any minority ethnic background - to become PM is a genuinely significant moment. It certainly makes this a special #Diwali."
On his first political decisions, she says they should include a general election and no return to austerity.

Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party Douglas Ross also hailed Mr Sunak's victory...
But the SNP's Ian Blackford was slightly less congratulatory...

Conservative MP calls for inquiry into Braverman appoint.

A Conservative MP has called for a probe into the appointment of Suella Braverman as home secretary.
Ms Braverman left the role on Wednesday last week after sharing government information with a backbench MP using a private email. She was put back on Tuesday this week.

Speaking to the BBC this morning, Caroline Nokes said there are "big questions hanging over this whole issue".
"And to be frank I would like to see them cleared up so that the home secretary can get on with her job," she added.

"If that means a full inquiry then I think that's the right thing to do."

Labour renews calls for increased windfall tax after Shell doubles quarterly profits year-on-year

Labour is renewing its calls for an increased windfall tax in the energy sector after Shell's latest profits report.
The energy giant reported operating profits of $9.5bn (£8.19bn) for the third quarter this year - lower than that of the three months before - but still more than double the same period in 2021.

This is a global figure rather than just the number for operations in the UK.
Labour's shadow climate change secretary Ed Miliband said: "As millions of families struggle with their energy bills, the fact that Shell recorded the second-highest quarterly profits in the company's history is further proof that we need a proper windfall tax to make the energy

Braverman 'should be sacked' and a 'full inquiry' launched into her ministerial code breach, says Lammy

Home Secretary Suella Braverman should be sacked and there should be a full inquiry into her ministerial code breach, Labour's shadow foreign secretary David Lammy has said.
Speaking to Sky News in the last few moments, Mr Lammy said the role of home secretary was the "most serious job you could have in our state" and an investigation into her breach was needed.
He said: "This is a person who makes judgements about terrorism and counterterrorism, who makes judgements about very serious offenders, whether they should be allowed out of prison.

"And for that reason, it's someone for whom, I'm afraid, judgement is critically important.
