UK to publish contested Defence Investment Plan amid leadership transition

Downing Street says the government will press ahead with the controversial Defence Investment Plan and publish it before the NATO summit, despite Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation as prime minister and Labour leader. The plan’s publication and the broader defence funding package, which has already prompted ministerial resignations, could be revisited by a future leader, complicating the government’s credibility with allies and shaping the response of a coming prime minister.

Buffett Endorses Greg Abel as Berkshire’s Next Leader, Signaling Confidence in the Post-Buffett Era

Warren Buffett publicly praises Greg Abel as a “perfect 10” and signals strong confidence in Berkshire Hathaway’s leadership during the company’s first top-level transition since 1965. Abel now oversees roughly 94% of Berkshire’s $327 billion equity portfolio, has resumed buybacks after a long pause, and is expected to guide capital allocation going forward. Berkshire reported solid Q2 2026 results with earnings of about $11.35 billion and a record $380 billion cash pile, underscoring Buffett’s legacy-level trust in Abel’s more granular, tech-forward approach as the firm moves into a new era.

Fed Holds Rates as Dissent Flows Amid Powell’s Continued Board Tenure

Fed Holds Rates as Dissent Flows Amid Powell’s Continued Board Tenure

The Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate at 3.5%‑3.75% with an 8‑4 vote, marking unusually sharp internal disagreement not seen since 1992 as inflation remains elevated and policy messaging shifts. Powell said he will stay on the Board indefinitely amid an ongoing renovations probe, while Kevin Warsh advances toward the chairmanship, potentially changing the Fed’s stance. Dissenters Hammack, Kashkari and Logan objected to an easing bias in the statement. Inflation remains driven in part by energy costs, markets were positioned for no rate change this year, and the labor market remains healthy, underscoring a leadership transition that could influence policy directions.
