President Donald Trump and his allies are renewing a push to reshape the Federal Reserve after the Supreme Court this week blocked an effort to fire Governor Lisa Cook. Top officials and outside allies are actively exploring ways to remove members of the Fed’s Board of Governors in Washington to clear the way for more of the president’s own picks, according to people familiar with the matter. Cook remains a target after the high court allowed her to stay in her job for now, as does former Chair Jerome Powell, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Some in the Labour Party are worried Andy Burnham risks repeating the mistake of not being sufficiently prepared for government, as he delays key personnel decisions. Burnham won't announce key appointments until after the selection process for the Labour Party's new leader formally concludes, which could give new ministers a slim window to prepare.
