Chuka makes pleads with Corbyn

The Streatham MP made the comments after leading pro-Israel MP claimed so-called moderates faced a clear and present danger of being run out of the party by hard-left factions. Ms Ryan blamed the result on Trots, Stalinists, Communists and assorted hard-left, while Mr Shuker, who was elected in 2010, said: I’ve not changed, but the Labour Party has. In a speech to the centre-left group Progress on Saturday, Mr Umunna is expected to say MPs are being targeted for standing up for zero tolerance of racism. More motions such as this are expected by colleagues, he will say. My message to our leadership: it is within your power to stop this so call off the dogs and get on with what my constituency, one of the most diverse communities in the nation, demands we do without...

Barnier concedes £39 billion Brexit bill

Britain will be more likely to secure a free trade agreement with the European Union if it pays the the £39 billion Brexit bill, Michel Barnier has signalled in a concession from Brussels that will bolster Theresa May’s efforts to get the deal through parliament. The European Commission has always insisted that the payment of the financial settlement, a central part of the withdrawal agreement, could not be made conditional on a trade deal. It argued that the payment would settle existing debts and that the future UK-EU agreement must be kept separate. Dominic Raab, the new Brexit Secretary, has pushed for a link between the Brexit deal and the political declaration, which will be a non-binding document that will be used as the basis for trade negotiations during th...

Council tarmacs posh end of road

Residents in Oxford have accused their council of reigniting a class war after resurfacing only the posh end of a suburban street. Repair work in Cutteslowe divides the road at the exact spot where a wall once separated council houses from the area’s wealthier homeowners. The developer which built all the homes in 1934 put up a wall to divide the two halves, even placing spikes along the top. The two sections were even given different names; Wentworth Road for the more upmarket stretch and Aldrich Road for the part housing council tenants. Although the infamous barrier was taken down 60 years ago, recent repairs to the potholed road have revived tensions among residents. The split has left many people living in the Aldrich Road end puzzled about their apparently s...

Mother forced to stand and breastfeed on crowded train

A mother-of-two has expressed her outrage after she was forced to stand and breastfeed her six-month-old baby on a crowded train because no one would offer their seat. Kate Hitchens, from Essex, was travelling home from London after a work event with her son Charlie when she realised her fellow passengers were not going to allow her to sit - even after she began breastfeeding. Frustrated by the situation, Hitchens, 32, took a photo of herself standing on the packed train and shared it on Instagram. What has the world come to that a mother has to stand up on a moving train breastfeeding a wriggling and writhing six-month-old, 20lb baby?! she wrote. The point here isn’t just that I found it difficult because I was nursing (although that was bloody difficult!), but t...

Suspects were trained in assassination and espionage

Sergei Skripal was poisoned by agents of the same shadowy but buccaneering Russian intelligence agency he served in and betrayed decades ago, British authorities have claimed. Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, named as suspects in his attempted murder and of his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, are agents of the GRU, the Russian ministry of defence’s elite intelligence and special forces arm, Theresa May told the House of Commons on Wednesday. There is barely any information available about the pair, but they are almost certainly commissioned Russian military officers highly trained in covert operations, espionage and assassination. After releasing photographs of the two well-built men in their 40s, police said they were travelling under aliases. Fontanka, an inde...

India has decriminalised gay sex

The five judges of the Supreme Court were unanimous in their decision to overturn the ban on consensual same-sex relations, which was previously punishable by an up to life in prison sentence. Since July, the court has been hearing testimonies from celebrities and numerous petitions arguing for gay sex between consenting adults to be legalised. In his judgment, the Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra, said: Any consensual sexual relationship between two consenting adults homosexuals, heterosexuals or lesbians cannot be said to be unconstitutional, according to Reuters. With the exception of the years between 2009 and 2013, gay sex has been illegal in India since the introduction of Section 377 in 1861. The law, made under British colonial rule, banned sexual activ...

May to dismantle Russian spy agency

Theresa May has vowed that Britain will wage an international campaign to disrupt the Russian GRU spy agency behind the… Theresa May has vowed that Britain will wage an international campaign to disrupt the Russian GRU spy agency behind the deadly Salisbury novichok attack. She said the UK would use its full range of security services including MI5, MI6 and GCHQ to expose its malign activity and dismantle its networks, after revealing how two of its agents were behind the chemical weapons incident. The prime minister then signalled new sanctions against Russia, with government insiders suggesting key GRU figures could be targeted with travel bans and asset freezes. The Foreign Office also hauled in the most senior Russian diplomat in the UK to explain his governmen...

Four in five adults at risk of early death: heart-age test shows

Almost four-fifths (78%) of more than 1.9 million people in England who have taken Public Health England’s… Four out of five adults have hearts that are more damaged than they should be for their age, putting them at greater risk of early death, a major study has shown. The disclosure prompted calls for Britons to ditch their unhealthy lifestyles and monitor their own health more closely in order to reduce their risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Leading doctors said the number of people with a heart older than their actual age was really alarming and should spur people to quit smoking, eat better and exercise more. The revelation reflects in part Britain’s high levels of obesity and physical inactivity and previously high smoking rate. Almost four-fifths (78...
