Apprentice star Brady backs Reeves after Commons tears
Ms Reeves was seen visibly crying in the chamber the morning after her government was forced into another U-turn on welfare reform by Labour backbenchers, all but wiping out any savings in spending she was hoping to achieve.
The Prime Minister failed to back his chancellor until after PMQs, leading markets to question her future.
The Apprentice star warned: "She will be labelled 'weak' because it's a woman crying, the first woman chancellor, and I think that's a very dangerous thing."
The aide to Lord Sugar, who was elevated to the upper chamber in 2014 by David Cameron, agreed with Kemi Badenoch's statement that "the leader of the opposition called her 'a shield', which the Prime Minister is hiding behind and there's probably a bit of truth in that as well."

Baroness Brady, who has previously been critical of negative economic sentiment from the Labour government and tax hikes on business, said Ms Reeves is "a strong, diligent person doing her job to the best of her ability under incredibly difficult circumstances".
Earlier this year she told a newspaper that Reeves' hikes in business taxes "lacks an understanding of how businesses operate" and that last year's rise in employers' national insurance was a "mis-step".

However, speaking at an event in the City of London, Baroness Brady expressed sympathy with the chancellor saying: "Many people cry at work, most of them can go and hide in the toilet and not be seen.
"Being emotional is largely in part because you care very much about what you're doing and how you're doing it."
However, she did maintain her differences of opinion on the administration's approach to the economy, but stated: "She's made some pledges, that through no fault of her own, she may not be able to deliver because the floor has changed from underneath her."
Aged 23, Baroness Brady was appointed as managing director of Birmingham City FC in 1993, and in 1997 became the youngest managing director of a UK plc, when the club floated on the London Stock Exchange.

P&O chief took pay rise in year after sacking 800 workers
The remuneration of the chief executive of P&O Ferries increased in the year after the sacking of almost 800 mainly British workers, accounts Hebblethwaite received £715,000 from the Dubai-owned group in 2023 despite heavy losses, a row over workers being paid less than the UK minimum wage and claims he made before parliament that he was being paid substantially latest available accounts for P&O Ferries for the year to the end of December 2023, posted months late at Companies House, show that the company, best known for its operations on the crossing between Dover and Calais, lost £97 million on top of the £249 million it was in deficit in 2022. • Boris Johnson backs calls for P&O Ferries boss to quit The accounts also show that Hebblethwaite, 54, was paid £683,000 in the year, plus £32,000 of company-paid contributions into his pension pot. That is substantially more than the £440,000 paid to his predecessor in the job and more than the amount he disclosed to the business and trade select committee of the House of Commons. He told MPs who were questioning him about the mass dismissal in March 2022 that he was on a salary of £325,000 and that he had received a bonus of £183,000, a payment that he recognised would be seen as controversial. At that testy hearing Hebblethwaite was accused of being 'a pirate' who was 'robbing staff blind' after the decision to sack nearly 800 mainly British workers and put the remaining workforce on international seafarer agency contracts not covered by the UK's national minimum wage laws under which pay started at £5.20 an hour. At the time the national minimum wage in the UK was £11.44 an hour. P&O Ferries has been owned since 2006 by the Dubai royal family led by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, best known in the UK for his extensive bloodstock and horseracing interests. P&O Ferries is now part of Dubai Ports World, whose other interests in the UK include the London Gateway port on the Thames and the port of Southampton. In a statement, P&O Ferries said: 'These results show the progress we're making in transforming the business. Losses are down and financial performance is improving. Our focus on high-quality experience is driving growth across both tourism and freight, with more people choosing to travel with us and satisfaction scores rising. We're matching capacity to meet demand, and continue to invest in greener, more efficient vessels.'

UKEF Announces Enhanced Business Support to Improve International Trade
Smaller businesses are set to benefit from extra support to maximise orders from international buyers. UK Export Finance (UKEF) has enhanced its export insurance with a new Small Export Builder option, making export protection more accessible to smaller businesses seeking financial security when trading internationally. The department is also introducing a 'Repeat Order Guarantee' so international buyers can easily keep accessing goods and services from their most trusted UK suppliers of all sizes and in a more streamlined way without the need of repeated applications, reducing red tape for business. It says this will help businesses to plan ahead and give greater assurance to UK-based supply chains. Trade Minister Douglas Alexander said: 'This new hard-headed, data driven, and agile approach to trade policy is guided by our pragmatic patriotism. In this changed and challenging world, we will promote what we can and protect what we must to advance the UK's national interest. 'With its larger £80 billion remit, UKEF takes a central role in helping the government to achieve its trade objectives, and support exporters to fulfil orders, create jobs and get paid.'

This household item is a MUST for all allergen sufferers
Smell Away's new HEPA filter removes 99.97% of airborne particles | Smell Away British households who battle seasonal allergies and persistent indoor odours now have a perfect solution to help them get through the summer season - thanks to this one UK-based innovator. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Smell Away® has announced the launch of it's new duel-purpose HEPA air purifier . This nifty tech not only neutralises orders, but also captures allergens. It comes at a perfect time for allergy sufferers, with grass pollen season in full swing and urban air pollution worsening symptoms that call for effective indoor air management. According the NHS, one in four people in the UK are affected by seasonal allergies - with grass pollen responsible for 95 per cent of hayfever cases. This aggressive airborne allergen can be carried on clothing, through open windows, or via pet fur, with sufferers usually experiencing weeks of discomfort, sneezing, itchy eyes fatigue, and congestion. Many resort to antihistamine and nasal sprays for relief but they do not prevent pollen exposure. The Smell Away®HEPA filter provides a preventative option - by actively capturing the allergenic particles (down to three microns) before tree and grass pollen grains - which typically measure 15 and 20 microns - reach the sinuses and airways. Gareth Williams, Owner of Smell Away Ltd, said: 'Our customers have trusted Smell Away for years to remove unpleasant odours. 'But with allergies becoming more common and more disruptive, we knew we had the opportunity to do even more. 'The HEPA filter is a natural extension of our mission – to help people breathe easier and live more comfortably at home.' What sets the new air purifier apart is its dual-functionality. Many on the market either allergen capture OR remove odours, but Smell Away's latest product does both simultaneously for 'completely domestic air assurance.' This is thanks to its dual action filter which includes a layer of an ultra-porous material that absorbs the molecules responsible for common odours, called RC412 Australian activated carbon. This carbon layer is partnered with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which can trap micro-particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mould spores, and airborne bacteria. And addresses the two most common air quality concerns for modern households: allergens and odours. 'We were careful not to change the characteristics people already love about Smell Away,' Gareth Williams added. 'Instead, we've added another layer of value for those who need it – particularly people who suffer from hay fever or who live with pets and want a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.' The air purifier is pet-friendly and is aimed at homes where managing smells and maintaining clean air is a daily challenge, especially for families with children, elderly residents, or frequent guests. It needs no special installation, no subscriptions, and requires very little maintenance, with each unit usually lasting between one and two years. Operation is whisper-quiet and energy-efficient, making it ideal for bedrooms, kitchens, nurseries, and even home offices. Unlike bulkier purifiers, the Smell Away® filter is compact and discreet, blending easily into home spaces without demanding floor space. It's a practical option for renters, families, and anyone in shared accommodation. Smell Away® HEPA air purifier already has a strong reputation for odour removal, with thousands of verified reviews praising its performance against pet, smoke, food, and musty smells. The company emphasises that the new HEPA version maintains the same high standard of odour control. Available now across the UK and Ireland - with free delivery including the Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey -Smell Away® also offers weekend delivery for a small extra charge. The HEPA filter is available immediately and ready to bring cleaner air and fresher spaces to homes nationwide.
