Quick Glance: Youngkin signs 2 gun control measures in Virginia
- Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed an assault weapons ban passed by the state Legislature and instead signed two more limited gun regulations into law.
- Youngkin signed laws banning gun trigger switches that can make firearms fire automatically and allowing criminal charges against parents who allow children access to weapons deemed threats.
- While praised by gun control activists, they urge him to do more, emphasizing that the work does not stop here.
- The signing of the two gun control bills by Youngkin is seen as a step in the right direction, showing that America's gun violence crisis does not have to be accepted as inevitable.

Quick Glance: Impact of Hunt's Tax Cuts on Next UK Chancellor
- Next government may face cuts in public services to meet Autumn Statement pledges
- Jeremy Hunt's tax cuts have implications for his successor at the Treasury after the next UK general election. Economists warn of significant cuts to public services due to the pledged £20bn tax cuts.
- Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, highlighted the challenge Hunt or his successor would face in managing post-election pressure on public services.
- While the decision was well-received by business groups and the right-wing press, it leaves large parts of the public sector with austerity measures, with unclear implementation plans.
