LONDON — Millions of low-income households in the UK will receive cost of living support in the coming financial year, the government said on Tuesday.Poorer homes will be given cash payments of up to £900 (€1,022) to help them deal with soaring prices, according to the country's Department of Work and Pensions.The money will go directly into claimants' bank accounts in three payments over the financial year, which starts on April 6.Like most of Europe, the UK is currently being battered by a cost of living crisis that is hitting poorer households hard.Annual inflation reached 11.1% in October, a 41-year high.

DUBLIN — Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has said mistakes were made on all sides in the way Brexit was negotiated.Varadkar said he would be "flexible and reasonable" when attempting to solve issues with the Northern Ireland protocol.He admitted that "perhaps" the treaty was a "little bit too strict" and that the European Union was willing to make compromises.Varadkar became PM, or taoiseach, for the second time last month.The Fine Gael leader has been unpopular with some unionists who see him as instrumental in the creation of the contentious protocol.Asked about this, he said: "I'm sure we've all made mistakes in the handling of Brexit."There was no road map, no manual, it wasn't something that we expected would happen and we've...
