"How did his colleague Baroness Mone end up with nearly 30 million of taxpayers' money in her bank account?" asked Labour Party leader Keir Starmer to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during the House of Commons' weekly questions in London. The question was in reference to allegations House of Lords member Michelle Mone secretly profited from personal protective equipment (PPE) contracts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prime Minister Sunak replied he "was absolutely shocked to read about the allegations," and further said, "It's absolutely right that she is no longer attending the House of Lords and therefore no longer has the conservative whip," amid news that Ms. Mone took a leave of absence from the upper chamber of parliament. The prime minister also took questions on a range of domestic and international issues.

The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Moore v. Harper, a case on whether the U.S. Constitution's Elections Clause permits a state to regulate federal elections without any checks from other government entities. This case stems from North Carolina's 2021 congressional map that was approved by the Republican-controlled state legislature. Lawsuits were filed, challenging it on the basis it was gerrymandering in favor of the GOP, which is prohibited in North Carolina. The state Supreme Court agreed and blocked its use in the 2022 midterm elections. A new map was eventually completed by Court-appointed experts and used in the elections, but Republican legislative leaders appealed to the nation's highest court. The case hinges on the so-called independent state legislature theory--the idea that the U.S. Constitution allows states' lawmakers to regulate federal elections without checks and balances from other government entities. The Supreme Court has through June 2023 to issue a ruling.
