Brexit: May warns of breach of trust

    Theresa May has warned of a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in democracy if MPs reject her Brexit deal and the UK remains in the European Union. With just two days to go before the Commons vote on her withdrawal agreement, the Prime Minister pleaded with parliamentarians to “do what is right for our country” and back her controversial exit plan. Mrs May said the UK risks crashing out of the EU without a deal or, if MPs are “unwilling” to face the uncertainty of no deal, then the UK may not leave at all. In what she described as the biggest and most important decision that any MP of our generation will be asked to make, the Prime Minister said it was time for politicians to deliver for the people. Writing in the Sunday Express, Mrs May said: You, the ...

Signs who found perfect partner

    The concept of finding a soulmate has been thrown around for years. But what is a soulmate, anyway? The idea behind it is simple: There’s someone out there who is perfectly suited for you and only you. While the idea of finding the one is romantic, it's just not realistic. In fact, many relationship therapists flat-out hate the idea. The concept of finding your soulmate has ruined some marriages, says psychologist Barton Goldsmith, PhD, author of The Happy Couple. The reality is, there are probably 10 or 20 people on the planet that would work for you, maybe more. But there’s no one exact right person for you for the rest of your life, he explains. Manhattan-based licensed clinical psychologist Joseph Cilona, PsyD, agrees, calling the concept toxic. Subscribing to...

Ivanka Trump being considered as new World Bank chief

    Donald Trump’s daughter is reportedly one of a handful of people being considered as the new head of the World Bank. The US president’s eldest daughter Ivanka Trump has been mentioned as a possible successor to Jim Yong Kim, who stood down earlier this week three and a half years before his term was up. The sudden departure of Mr Kim, who was first appointed by former president Barack Obama in 2011 and re-elected in 2016, means Mr Trump can now choose a successor. According to the Financial Times, names being thrown into the mix for the role include Ivanka Trump, Treasury official David Malpass, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, and head of the US Agency for International Development Mark Green. Mr Kim, a former academic and health official, said he was leaving th...

Saudi runaway arrives in Canada after being granted asylum

    Saudi teenager Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun has arrived in Canada after being stranded in Bangkok Airport. The 18-year-old was granted asylum by Canada after she claimed she feared that she would be killed by her family. Ms Al-Qunun was stopped at Bangkok airport on Saturday by Thai immigration police who denied her entry and seized her passport.

Super gonorrhea has reached the UK: doctors warn

Two women have contracted the infection, with one believed to have been infected in the UK, according to Pubilc Health England.

Theresa May under massive pressure to call another General Election

    Theresa May is said to be facing intense pressure to call a spring General Election in an attempt to quash opposition to a no-deal Brexit. Senior ministers are attempting to force the PM to call for a vote on April 4 so that Tory rebels trying to thwart Brexit can be stopped, according to the Daily Mail. Over a dozen Remainer Conservative MPs have said they will back a no-confidence vote to force the election if no deal was looking likely. Despite Mr Corbyn’s desire for a General Election, Labour remain behind the Tories in recent opinion polls. A poll of polls for 2018 also put Labour on 38% – just 1% behind the Tories, while Mrs May outscores Mr Corbyn on who would make the best PM. But Brexit supporters in the party are said to be urging Mrs May to decide to h...

MPs force Brexit plan B on PM

    Theresa May will be obliged to present MPs with a new Brexit plan within three days if her current proposal is voted down next week, after a procedural amendment to the plan’s progress through the Commons was passed amid chaotic scenes. The amendment to the business motion for the plan, drawn up by the Conservative former attorney general Dominic Grieve, gives May the deadline to put forward new her plans if she loses the vote, as many expect, next Tuesday. The amendment was passed by 308 votes to 297 following stormy scenes which saw a series of Conservative MPs castigate the Speaker, John Bercow, for allowing the amendment. Tory MP Ken Clarke, who backed the amendment, said those who did not like the amendment should “don a yellow jacket and go outside” to join s...

Afghan trafficker boasts of getting 300 migrants into UK

    A people smuggler has boasted of getting 300 migrants across the Channel to the UK. The Afghan fixer named Anam told undercover reporters that he helps set up speedboat crossings to the UK for £6,000 per person in a speedboat. He said he can also set up the crossing in a riskier three-metre dinghy for the lower price of £2,500. But he claimed he didn’t take the payments himself and instead they had to be made via family or friends to an Indian restaurant in west London. He said he could virtually make a guarantee of residency in Britain to would-be migrants because the police ‘never send you back’ even if they ‘catch you’. Anam, 28, is based in Calais and said he has already been booted out of the UK twice. Using a British mobile phone to run the illegal operati...

The case of Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun has been referred to Australia for possible of asylum. In a brief statement, Australia said it would consider the request in the usual way, as it does with all UNHCR referrals.

She arrived in Thailand on Saturday on a layover between Kuwait and Australia, but was detained by the Thai authorities.

Parliament security spend jumps by £10m in a year

    Parliament's security spending has soared by nearly £10million a year since the Westminster terror attack, it can be revealed today. The dramatic escalation of protection for MPs and peers following the deadly attack has been underlined in figures uncovered by MailOnline - suggesting the measures now cost some £45million annually. The overhaul came amid fears about gaping loopholes, including weaknesses at the main Carriage Gates entrance, no armed officers on site on Sundays, and poor CCTV coverage. There are also mounting concerns about the security of MPs as they arrive at Westminster, after Tory former minister Anna Soubry was confronted by an angry mob who branded her a Nazi and slag. Khalid Masood stabbed PC Keith Palmer to death in March 2017 as he forced h...
