Signs that you need to live away from your partner

    Moving in together is an obvious next step when you’ve been dating for a while. Cohabitation saves you money and for many couples, it’s a great testing ground for marriage: If you get along living together, why not take the big marriage leap? But sometimes, merging your lives and stuff makes you realise that maybe you were better off when you lived in separate spaces. In that case, un-moving in together might be the answer. When you un-move in with your partner, you stay together you don’t want to break up! but recognise that, for the time being at least, returning to the previous arrangement of living apart is best for both of you. “I think many couples realise that they are constantly fighting because of differences in cleanliness, daily habits and other unexpect...

Three more virus cases in England

    Three more patients in England have tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of UK cases to 23. Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said two of the patients had recently travelled back from Italy while the other had returned from Asia. The cases are from Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and Berkshire. Prof Whitty said: All three are being investigated and contact tracing has begun. It comes amid reports the government is to use a COBRA meeting on Monday, to agree emergency powers to ensure COVID-19 - the disease caused by the coronavirus does not get out of control. Schools, councils and other institutions would be able to suspend some laws to cope with a pandemic. The measures could also include allowing teachers and nursery workers to h...

France dismisses PM’s tough talk on trade deal

    Boris Johnson's pledge to walk away from EU trade talks if there is no deal by the end of the year has been criticised by a senior French minister. The prime minister has insisted Britain is willing to revert to base-level World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules if an agreement is not in place for 31 December 2020. That would see big taxes slapped on products exported by businesses to EU countries. But trying to pile pressure on the prime minister ahead of negotiations officially kick-starting next week, the French minister for Europe, Amelie de Montchalin, called the 10-month timeframe an artificial deadline. Ms de Montchalin said we do not accept time pressure and warned Downing Street not to underestimate the unity of the EU27 leaders. She also took on Mr Johnson'...

Weakest patients could be denied NHS care

    NHS patients could be denied lifesaving care during a severe coronavirus outbreak in Britain if intensive care units are struggling to cope, senior doctors have warned. Under a so-called three wise men protocol, three senior consultants in each hospital would be forced to make decisions on rationing care such as ventilators and beds, in the event hospitals were overwhelmed with patients. The medics spoke out amid frustration over what one said was the government’s dishonest spin that the health service was well prepared for a major pandemic outbreak. The doctors, from hospitals across England, said the health service’s existing critical care capacity was already overstretched and would crumble under the demands of a pandemic surge in patients who may all need venti...

Duke drops title: Just call me Harry

    The Duke of Sussex today embarked on his final round of engagements as a senior working royal as he launched a new eco-friendly travel firm in Edinburgh and asked delegates just to call him Harry. Prince Harry, who will step down as a senior royal in less than five weeks, is in the Scottish capital for a 'working summit' of the Travalyst partnership, which will feature a grading system for users to track their carbon emissions. Before he took to the stage today, host Ayesha Hazarika, a former Labour adviser and broadcaster, told delegates: He's made it clear that we are all just to call him Harry. So ladies and gentlemen, please give a big, warm, Scottish welcome to Harry. He told the event at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre that the industry in Scotl...

New coronavirus alert for Britain

    Millions of people were today urged to keep their distance to stop an outbreak of coronavirus spreading in Britain. The World Health Organisation called on countries around the globe to prepare for the arrival of Covid-19 as America warned that a pandemic was now likely. Stockmarkets fell again today. More than £2.5 trillion has been wiped off the value of shares globally in the past four trading sessions as investors became spooked by the infection’s spread. With more and more cases being confirmed in Asia, Europe and also the first diagnosis in South America, in Brazil, scientists were racing to learn more about the virus. “The most important thing we are realising is it’s really infectious but it’s infectious if you are close up with people,” WHO coronavirus re...

Snow to affect southern England

    Snow could fall as far south as London later this week as parts of Britain face a further three inches tonight. Areas of Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland have already been blanketed in the white stuff over the past two days, with more falling today after temperatures fell to -5C (23F) overnight. The Met Office has predicted that up to 3in (8cm) could fall over the higher ground in North West England, Wales and western Scotland between 8pm tonight and 10am tomorrow as it also imposed an ice warning. Most showers will tend to ease by tomorrow evening, while Thursday will be dry with sunny spells for most areas along with some wintry showers - while Friday will be grey with patchy rain for many, especially in the South.

Virus reveals shocking scale of China’s secretive wildlife farms

    Nearly 20,000 wildlife farmsraising species including peacocks, civet cats, porcupines, ostriches, wild geese and boar have been shut down across China in the wake of the coronavirus, in a move that has exposed the hitherto unknown size of the industry. Until a few weeks ago wildlife farming was still being promoted by government agencies as an easy way for rural Chinese people to get rich. But the Covid-19 outbreak, which has now led to over 1,800 deaths and more than 72,000 known infections, is thought to have originated in wildlife sold at a market in Wuhan in early December, prompting a massive rethink by authorities on how to manage the trade. China issued a temporary ban on wildlife trade to curb the spread of the virus at the end of January and began a wides...

Coronavirus: West End suffers as Asian tourists stay away

    The impact of the coronavirus scare has spread from Chinatown to much of the West End as high-spending Asian tourists stay away. Restaurants in areas such as Mayfair and Knightsbridge reported a slump in trade in the past fortnight, although most of the rest of the capital does not yet seem to have been hit. Adam Hyman, founder of the Code Hospitality consultancy, said: Lots of West End hoteliers and restaurants have been severely impacted in the last couple of weeks. All the big restaurants and hotels say there are just no Chinese customers. Flight analysts ForwardKeys said its latest data showed bookings from China to Europe for March and April are 36.7 per cent down on last year. Chef Adam Handling said that at his Covent Garden flagship Frog “this week and las...

The chancellor should prioritise savings reform in first budget

    If the new Chancellor Rishi Sunak wants to appeal to Tory voters in the shires and the new converts in the Red Wall seats of the North, he should use his first Budget to end the war of attrition on savers. Thrift and personal responsibility are at the core of Conservative values. They are also very much part of the Labour heritage of co-operatives and mutuals. Yet in the past two decades, governments on both sides have thrown savers to the wolves. The repeated attacks on pensions saving have been particularly short-sighted and harmful so the news that Sunak’s £10billion tax grab on higher rate pensions tax relief is likely to be scrapped is welcome. This was an idea so bad it could have come from the Jeremy Corbyn playbook. Seizing tax relief from higher rate taxp...
