Govt hails unexpected dip in inflation rate

The chief secretary to the Treasury has hailed an unexpected dip in inflation, but admits that the cost of living "is still a pressure for families across the country and there's more work to do". Darren Jones adds the latest Office for National Statistics figures, "shows that the prime minister's plan for change is working". Inflation has fallen to 2.5% in December from 2.6% in November, which will come as a relief to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who has faced criticism given rising government borrowing costs and a slump in the value of the pound. The latest figures could open the door for an interest rate cut next month. Report by Brooksl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

Did Trump Shatter Bible Touching Tradition? No Hand on the Bible During Swearing-In Sparks Row

During Donald Trump's inauguration, a notable break from tradition occurred as he took the oath of office without placing his hand on a Bible. Although First Lady Melania Trump brought two Bibles, neither was used during the ceremony. The absence of this customary gesture has raised questions about its meaning, with some speculating it was a personal choice, while others questioned whether it signaled a departure from long-held traditions or simply an oversight. This omission stands out, given the deep symbolic nature of the Bible during the presidential oath. #TrumpInauguration #NoBible #OathOfOffice #TrumpTradition #USPresidency #InauguralSpeech #MelaniaTrump #Bibles #PresidentialOath #InaugurationDay #Trump2025 #SacredTradition #PresidentialCeremony #WhiteHouseTraditions #TrumpCustom #USHistory #FirstLady #Constitution #OathWithoutBible #TrumpSwearingIn #Trump2025Inauguration ~HT.318~GR.121~ED.346~
