Prince Harry and Meghan Markle living together

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle It’s official! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hiding their relationship no longer. Yesterday the young royal and his actress girlfriend were photographed during a night out in London, dining at the Soho House restaurant before walking hand-in-hand on the busy footpath. They tried to keep as low-key as possible and were sitting in a small snug area of the restaurant, an onlooker told The Sun, who obtained the photos. But it wasn’t a private area and they were happy to be seen . . . they only had eyes for each other. This isn’t the first time the lovebirds have been spotted been out and about in London together.

Trump warns Israel that new settlements may not help achieve Middle East peace

    The White House on Thursday gently warned Israel that new or expanded settlements in the West Bank “may not be helpful” in achieving a Middle East peace, while insisting it has no official position on settlement activity. A statement issued by press secretary Sean Spicer said that although the administration does not believe settlements are “an impediment to peace, the construction of new settlements or the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current borders may not be helpful in achieving that goal. The American desire for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians has remained unchanged for 50 years, Spicer’s statement said, a reference to President Trump’s insistence that a return to the Middle East negotiating table is a goal he hopes to achieve.

January 31 tax deadline: Tens of thousands pay wrong tax on pensions

    Tens of thousands of people have paid incorrect tax on pension withdrawals made under new rules applying from April 2015, experts warned, as the self-assessment tax return deadline for that year passed on Tuesday night. At least 232,000 people drew down money from their pensions in the 2015 to 2016 tax year under rules which allow over-55s to drain cash from their pension pots in one go. Many of these withdrawals will have been incorrectly taxed, accountants warn. Reforms introduced by former Chancellor George Osborne permitted over-55s to withdraw cash from their pensions from April 2015, rather than spend the bulk of the money buying an income-paying annuity. Errors are arising because one-off pension withdrawals have been taxed based on a tax code provided by HMRC. When...
