STORY: The northern English town of Leigh voted in a Conservative member of parliament for the first time at the UK's last general election.Locals hoped for a promised transformation of the once-thriving coal and manufacturing area. But over four years later, and just days until the next national ballot, the signs of economic hardship and neglect remain.Many shops on Leigh's main shopping street are boarded up. Housing and homelessness are also big issues here.John Riedyard used to work in a textile mill in Leigh. He was one of those who voted Conservative in 2019."As you can see the town's died, we were a thriving community, everybody was happy and it's gone. There's no laughter in the streets like it used to be, and that mill and miners was the heart and soul of the country, and apart from that it's just desolate."At the 2019 general election, then-prime minister Boris Johnson persuaded voters in dozens of towns like Leigh in northern and central England to elect a Conservative candidate for the first time. Those areas in the country's former industrial heartland, known as the Red Wall, were previously strongholds of the opposition Labour party.But Johnson's pledge to "get Brexit done" resonated with an electorate tired of Britain's slow negotiations to withdraw from the EU.Voters were also swayed by his promises of "levelling up" - a policy of investing in local projects to regenerate deprived areas.Many of them now feel betrayed.And polls predict that the Conservatives will lose all the seats in Red Wall areas in Thursday's vote, helping Labour to a landslide victory.Farai Nhakaniso is a local Labour campaigner."People in Leigh are struggling far worse compared to five years ago, based on the cost of living crisis that we're facing as a nation at the moment, and places like Leigh are being hit the hardest because we had a Conservative MP that didn't stick up for people locally here in the Leigh constituency and we need a change to that."Leigh was assigned $40 million to redevelop the town center under the "levelling up" plan.But Reuters has found more than 99% of those funds have not been spent - with the cash caught up in local political and bureaucratic quarrels.Other areas of Britain follow a similar pattern. Parliament's public accounts committee said in March that nationally just over 10% of the more than 12-billion-dollar local regeneration funds have been spent.Of the 44 voters who spoke to Reuters in Leigh, only one planned to vote Conservative this time around.Michael Winstanley, the Tory candidate, said he "would have liked to have seen more" money spent on regenerating the town.But he blames the Labour-run local council for failing to have a clear plan.Labour said if it wins Thursday's (July 4) election it will give more powers to local leaders - and would drop the term "levelling up" to mark a break with Conservative policies.

More than half of households in Yemen are not eating enough due to poor economic conditions and a months-long pause in food assistance to millions of people in the rebel-held north, the United Nations food agency said Monday. The World Food Program update said “severe food deprivation” has reached the highest it's ever seen in parts of northern Yemen including Al Jawf, Al Badya, Hajjah, Amran, and Al Hodeidah. WFP stopped food assistance to the north in December, citing limited funding and the lack of agreement with the rebel authorities on downscaling the program.
People may need payments that have not arrived in their accounts to be resent, despite the glitches being fixed, one bank said.
Two out of every three cars sold feature embedded connectivity, according to Counterpoint Research. Mozilla *Privacy Not Included lead Jen Caltrider joins Wealth! to discuss the state of privacy in modern cars. "Every car that people buy these days is bad for privacy. There are no good options for new cars for privacy," Caltrider explains. She points to Tesla (TSLA), Nissan, and Kia's privacy policies as particularly striking, as they seek to collect very personal data. "When you think about privacy, we're going to have to give up data in our connected world. It's just how it works. And what you want to see is a product that only collects the data it needs to give you the service. So for a car, you want it to collect only the data it needs to get you from point A to point B safely and then use it only for that," she says. However, most cars today collect much more data to sell to advertisers, data brokers, and insurance companies. Modern cars are equipped with microphones, cameras, and sensors that all collect information to make inferences about users. Caltrider adds that while this technology is way ahead, the privacy solutions "are way behind." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Wealth!

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected Donald Trump's sweeping claim of "absolute" immunity from criminal prosecution in his federal election subversion case, but said former presidents are entitled to some protections for "official" acts taken while in the White House. The ruling will affect whether Trump faces a federal trial this year on four felony counts brought by special counsel Jack Smith, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruction of an official proceeding, for his attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. Trump pleaded not guilty and has denied any wrongdoing.
