TEHRAN – The UK Foreign Office says is prepared to trigger snapback sanctions against Tehran in a move that reaffirms the West’s continued hostilities against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. The mechanism, outlined in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, allows for the reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran if it violates the terms of the agreement. A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office told the BBC: “We, alongside our international partners, continue to express serious concerns over Iran’s nuclear activities. Through multiple diplomatic channels, including the United Nations and the quarterly meetings of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors, we are working tirelessly to de-escalate tensions and ensure compliance with global nuclear standards.” The statement was issued in response to reports of upcoming negotiations on Friday between Iran and the three European signatories of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—France, Germany, and the UK. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed in 2015, was an agreement between Iran and the P5+1 nations aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions. However, the deal began unraveling in 2018 after the U.S., under President Trump, unilaterally withdrew and reimposed sanctions as part of a “maximum pressure” strategy. Iran initially continued to adhere to its JCPOA commitments despite Washington’s exit, but by 2020, it started reducing compliance after European countries aligned with the U.S. in pressuring Tehran. The UK Foreign Office spokesperson highlighted the UK's deep concern over Iran’s alleged expanding uranium reserves. “We are deeply concerned that Iran continues to increase its uranium stockpile, including highly enriched uranium that has no plausible civilian use,” the spokesperson said. Despite international concerns, Iran has consistently denied pursuing nuclear weapons. Iranian officials maintain that their nuclear program is strictly for peaceful purposes, including energy production and medical applications. On Thursday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) adopted a resolution denouncing Iran for what it called a lack of cooperation.The first inclement weather of the season led to a multi-vehicle crash on the 401 near the Ridgetown exit last Thursday that sent five people to the hospital. The Elgin Ontario Provincial Police and Chatham-Kent Emergency Services responded to the 401 near Victoria Road around 4 p.m. for accidents involving nine vehicles in both lanes. A total of 12 people were involved in the collision, and five of those were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Both eastbound and westbound lanes were shut down for about two hours, and both on-ramps at Victoria Road were shut down to remove vehicles and allow the OPP to conduct their investigation. The highway closure led to increased traffic on local detour routes. “A small weather system moved through the area at the time that resulted in a rapid change in road and weather conditions, undoubtedly contributing to the collision,” said OPP Constable Brett Phair in a video on social media. Phair said the multi-vehicle collision is a reminder to motorists to be prepared for sudden weather changes as the winter season begins. “You need to be aware that the weather, road conditions, traffic conditions can always change on a dime, but especially this time of year, unexpected and rapid changes are going to happen,” Phair said. “We need everyone to remain vigilant and make the adjustments that are necessary to make sure you get home safely to your families.” The OPP and Chatham-Kent Police Service also attended numerous weather-related collisions in the area of Highway 40 and Electric Line, south of Wallaceburg, the same day.

The party has lodged a series of amendments to the Social Security (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill looking to reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment for the majority of pensioners and set up a tapering mechanism for the highest earners. It comes after leader Anas Sarwar had his group of MSPs vote against a Holyrood motion calling on the UK Government to reverse its cuts to the payments. Only two Scottish Labour MSPs voted with the Government : former Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard and MSP Alex Rowley. READ MORE: Labour's Anas Sarwar named Scottish Politician of the Year Scottish Social Justice Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville (below) has said the "hypocrisy" of Scottish Labour is "staggering". She posted on Twitter/X: "14 Labour MSPs voted AGAINST a motion last month that demanded the UK Gov reverse its Winter Fuel Payment cut. "Now, they want @theSNP to clean up the mess that their own party created down at Westminster . "The shamelessness of their hypocrisy is staggering." SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn said the move was "Sarwar announcing to Scotland that he is too weak to persuade Starmer". SNP MP Pete Wishart branded Scottish Labour's U-turn "beyond bizarre" and said: "'Scottish' Labour are now gaslighting a nation." An SNP staffer also said: "This is extraordinary. It was Scottish Labour MPs in Westminster who voted to remove the Winter Fuel Payment in the first place. "In October, the SNP tabled a motion in Holyrood calling on the UK Government to reverse the decision Anas Sarwar and Scottish Labour voted against it." Greens activist Iris Duane said: "Your MPs voted to remove it. Every single MP in Glasgow voted to freeze pensioners." She asked: "Have you changed your mind? Or does Scottish Labour think pensioners south of the border are worth less?" Glasgow councillor Christina Cannon also reacted, stating: "Scottish Labour went from ‘vote Labour to stop the Tories ’ to ‘vote Labour to stop Labour’ very quickly." READ MORE: Will voters buy Scottish Labour's screeching U-turn on winter fuel? Another said the move by Labour was "truly disgusting politicking", adding: "Every Scottish Labour MP voted to cut the Winter Fuel Payment at Westminster, resulting in a cut to the Scottish Government budget. "Vote to cut the budget then attempt to force the Scottish Government to pay the Winter Fuel Payment from a smaller budget?" MSPs will vote on Scottish Labour’s proposals during Stage 3 of the Social Security (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill on Tuesday, December 3.We've noticed that many retailers are starting their 'Boxing Day' sales earlier than ever in recent years.
