The UK’s most powerful union leader has said he is angry at the state of Labour and Keir Starmer’s government and warned that significant change is needed to prevent Reform UK from winning power. In his first intervention as the battle rages over the future of the Labour leadership, the TUC’s general secretary, Paul Nowak, said it was clear there was an “overwhelming sense of frustration” with Starmer in a statement issued by Labour-affiliated trade unions last week that called for the prime minister to step down before the next election. Nowak said the statement from the Labour unions was clear about the change that was now needed. “They don’t think he could lead Labour into the next election. I’m not going to cut across where our Labour unions are at, but whoever is in No 10, they’ve got to show working-class people that they are on their side. “I think what you got from that statement was that overwhelming sense of frustration, 22 months out from that landslide election victory, which Labour won on the basis of a manifesto that had one word on the cover: ‘Change’. For a lot of people there hasn’t been any real change. They certainly haven’t felt it in their pockets. I get that sense of frustration, 100%.” Nowak said the results of the elections on 7 May were devastating for Labour and showed the country was on course for a Reform government unless there was radical change. But he said there was still time for the party to recover in the three years before the next general election and Labour should not be “fatalistic”. TUC polling in the aftermath of the elections found that fewer than one in five people think they are becoming better off, while nearly half (46%) think their personal finances are getting worse. The cost of living was the top issue for 65% of people, almost double the proportion who named immigration. Nowak, whose union body had been a strong supporter of the Starmer government, said the state of the polls made him “angry, to be honest with you – ...

An Ankara court on Thursday annulled the 2023 leadership election of Turkey’s main opposition CHP party, state news agency Anadolu reported, in a sharp escalation against the country’s embattled opposition. The ruling overturns the result of the leadership election that brought in current party head Ozgur Ozel and ordered that the party’s former long-term chairman, Kemal Kilicdaroglu - who lost the election to Ozel - take over as interim leader. In response, the party urged its senior membership to gather at its Ankara headquarters. Advertisement The news prompted Istanbul’s BIST 100, Turkey’s main stock exchange, to fall by more than six per cent. The case concerns allegations of vote buying at the CHP congress in November 2023, with prosecutors alleging that Ozel secured his own election through putting pressure on certain delegates with promises of jobs and other kickbacks. Advertisement In October, an Ankara court had thrown out an earlier vote buying case over that election on grounds that it had no substance, but prosecutors appealed the ruling, with the court finding in their favour. Critics say the vote-buying case is a politically motivated attempt to undermine Turkey’s oldest political party, which won a huge victory over President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s AKP in 2024 local elections and has been rising in the polls.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images News Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) said proxy advisory firms Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services have a conflict of interest in recommending that investors vote against the oil company's plan to redomicile in Texas from New Jersey, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Exxon ( XOM ) plans to run full-page ads in major newspapers, including WSJ , to make its case that the proxy advisors should have disclosed their ongoing legal battle with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, citing a state law requiring the firms to disclose their motivations for their recommendations. "We're not surprised the two dominant proxy advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis are against our redomiciliation to Texas," the ads say. "But we are surprised both firms didn't disclose their ongoing litigation with the Texas Attorney General under their conflict-of-interest policies." Glass Lewis and ISS have sued Paxton's office over its enforcement of the 2025 Texas law requiring proxy advisors to disclose when their recommendations are based on non-financial factors, such as environmental considerations, arguing the law violated their First Amendment rights and winning preliminary injunctions against its enforcement last summer. Paxton's filed a lawsuit this week against ISS for allegedly misleading investors, claiming the firm is giving priority to "its own environmental, social, and governance agenda over the fiscal well-being of its clients" and is trying to "obstruct" Exxon's ( XOM ) planned move to Texas. Glass Lewis and ISS are arguing that Exxon's ( XOM ) move would eliminate investor protections established under New Jersey law, but the oil company said it is not adopting any elective provisions of the Texas corporate statute that weaken shareholder rights. Exxon ( XOM ) shareholders will vote on the relocation plans at the company's May 27 annual meeting.

US President Donald Trump speaks during an announcement with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on May 21, 2026. Kent Nishimura | AFP | Getty Images President Donald Trump on Thursday said he postponed an upcoming signing ceremony for his administration's much-anticipated executive order on the artificial intelligence industry. The event, which was set for later Thursday afternoon, was delayed "because I didn't like certain aspects of it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. The U.S. is ahead of China and the rest of the world on AI and "I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead," Trump said. He added that AI is "causing tremendous good," and he was concerned that the executive order "could have been a blocker." The postponement was first reported earlier Thursday by Axios . The White House referred CNBC to Trump's remarks when asked for comment on the delay. This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.

00:00 Speaker A Now, things that are definitely heating up massively. This is the biggest story of the day, and there's two very specific crypto elements to it. But let's break it down. 00:09 Speaker A First, SpaceX confirms plans for an IPO that could make Elon Musk a trillionaire. 00:16 Speaker A That's so much money. 00:19 Speaker A It's an absurd, insane amount of money, but you know what? Good for him. 00:23 Speaker A Holding his hands like that, looking all looking all serious and trillionary. 00:29 Speaker A Now, listen, this is going to go on the Nasdaq, so I'm sure there was a battle for where this will be listed on June 12th under this ticker SPCX. 00:36 Speaker A So they're raising $75 billion, which is the largest IPO ever exceeding Saudi Aramco, which was 29.4 million and of course you have the whole syndicate running this IPO, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, City Bank, JPM. 00:49 Speaker A All the friends. I'm going to tell you about those guys tomorrow actually. I have a plan for that. 00:54 Speaker A But what maybe more interesting is talk about the valuation. So the target here is 1.5 trillion. Many are saying it'll be 1.75. Polymarkets 70% chance will be over 2 trillion dollars when this launches. 01:03 Speaker A But doing some back of the napkin math, that is 94 times 2025 revenue. 01:11 Speaker A Now your average space stock trades at about 4X sales. So we can say this isn't an average space stock, right? This is SpaceX. but still, this will be trading at 23X the industry average. 01:20 Speaker A Now to give you some context at Nvidia's peak at the peak of AI hype, their multiple was 30X sales. So this puts them at three times the peak of AI hype on Nvidia at their valuation. 01:32 Speaker A Now looking at the numbers, Q1 they lost $1.94 billion and their 2025 capX was 20.7 billion. The revenue was 18.5. So they lost almost $2 billion-ish, just over, actually. 01:43 Speaker A And if you want to figure out what this valuation should be m...

Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task. By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss. However, the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects, makes it pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks. Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank. Research shows that stocks carrying the best growth features consistently beat the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better. Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this chipmaker a great growth pick right now. Earnings Growth Earnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration. While the historical EPS growth rate for Broadcom Inc. is 19.8%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 68.1% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 33.2%. Cash Flow Growth Cash is the lifeblood of any business, but higher-than-average cash flow growth is more beneficial and important for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies....

Costco Wholesale (COST 2.33%) stock stumbled on Thursday, falling 2.6% through noon ET on some news from grocery rival The Kroger Co. (KR 2.13%). In an interview with Bloomberg published today, new Kroger CEO Greg Foran announced plans to implement "big price cuts" to better compete with rivals, including Costco (but also Walmart (WMT 7.57%), Amazon.com (AMZN +0.48%), Trader Joe's, and Aldi) on price. No devil in these details Should this worry Costco, the prospect of Kroger launching a retail price war against it? Maybe... if there were more details about precisely what Kroger is up to. But in the instant case, the details seem exceedingly vague. True, according to the Bloomberg report, Kroger plans to cut prices "across product categories," with "thousands" of products dropping in price. Kroger's CEO will encourage his store employees to work faster and be friendlier, and he'll accelerate new store openings, adding 70 to 80 new stores in 2027. But for the most part, this plan appears to comprise primarily glowing generalities -- and nothing that poses a serious threat to Costco's business model.

What happened Shares of Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) fell 6.6% on Thursday after the retailer announced a surprise drop in e-commerce sales. So what Costco's net sales for the four weeks ended Nov. 27 rose 5.7% year over year to $19.17 billion. The company's pace of expansion decelerated markedly from the 7.7% growth it experienced in September and the 10.1% increase it posted in October. Costco's comparable-store sales (comps) grew by 4.3%. Excluding changes in gasoline prices and foreign exchange rates, the discount warehouse chain's comps increased by 5.3%. Wall Street had expected comps growth of 7.7%. The sales shortfall sparked concern among investors that inflation and fears of a potential recession are driving consumers to pare back their discretionary spending. That could spell trouble for Costco's holiday-quarter results. Particularly worrisome were the retailer's online revenue figures. Costco's e-commerce sales declined by 10.1% in November after rising sharply earlier in the pandemic. Now what Higher costs for food, shelter, and energy are forcing many people to seek out bargains whenever possible. Costco has benefited from this trend in some ways. The warehouse-store chain's large array of low-priced food items has allowed it to profit as more shoppers chose to eat at home, rather than dine out. And Costco's discounted gasoline helped to drive more traffic to its stores. But with people needing to prioritize food and other vital purchases, they now appear to be spending less on Costco's larger selection of discretionary merchandise.

When the action film Top Gun hit the big screen in 1986, critical reviews were mixed, but audiences were thrilled. The film racked up $358 million globally, making it the highest-grossing film of that year.
