Theresa May aide outed him as gay over Brexit referendum row

    Downing Street has been accused of outing a gay Brexit campaigner in a row over referendum tactics. In an explosive statement last night, Shahmir Sanni said his family in Pakistan was unaware of his sexuality and instructed a law firm to take action. He said a statement made by Theresa May's close aide Stephen Parkinson had put family members at risk. Mr Sanni was set to blow the whistle over claims Brexiteers breached electoral rules during the Vote Leave campaign. In response, Mr Parkinson, one of the Prime Minister's closest advisers, gave a comment in which he said he had been in an 18-month relationship with Mr Sanni before splitting amicably in September 2017. He wrote: That is the capacity in which I gave Shahmir advice and encouragement, and I can underst...

May urge EU leaders to create a new dynamic and show energy and ambition in negotiating a post-Brexit

    Theresa May has told EU leaders it is their duty to create a new dynamic and show energy and ambition in negotiating a post-Brexit trade relationship which will be good for both Britain and Europe. The Prime Minister made her appeal on the eve of a crunch meeting of leaders of the remaining 27 member states on Friday, when they are expected to approve a draft deal on Britain's transition to Brexit, opening the door for talks on trade. Donald Tusk, the European Council president, raised doubts earlier this week over whether a deal reached by Brexit Secretary David Davis and chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier would be acceptable to all 27 with Spain holding out to improve its hand over Gibraltar. But a senior UK official said on Thursday evening that all the indicati...

Under the Google News Initiative spend $300m

    Google has become the latest technology giant to offer an olive branch to media publishers, unveiling a $300m (£215m) three-year plan to revive an industry critics say it played a role in stifling. Under the Google News Initiative, the company said it would be rolling out new features to help boost publishers' subscription numbers and provide them with better tools to analyse and understand their readership. Among these is the Subscribe with Google feature, where users will be able to subscribe to a number of news publications, and pay for access to their content, through Google accounts. Google said it will take a cut of the revenue from the subscriptions generated through its feature, but said the vast majority of that revenue will go to the publishers. Accordin...

Your car insurance could invalidate for the 10 reasons

    Having car insurance is a legal requirement for motorists, but whether it’s valid or not depends on whether the information your insurance company holds is accurate.

Salisbury attack was part of a pattern of Russian aggression, says Theresa May

    Theresa May is pressing for a united statement from the European Union condemning Russia for the nerve agent attack in Salisbury. Foreign ministers of the 28-nation bloc issued a statement on Monday voicing unqualified solidarity with the UK, but stopping short of pointing the finger of blame at Moscow for the March 4 attack on ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. Arriving in Brussels for a summit of the European Council, Mrs May said she would brief fellow leaders on the brazen and reckless use of chemical weapons on European soil and leave no doubt that she sees it as part of a pattern of Russian aggression which requires a united response. Theresa May said she would be discussing Russia’s aggression at the European Council summit (European Broadcasting ...

    The future husband and wife's story is a fairy tale romance that is unlike any other. While the 33-year-old royal was among the world's most known bachelors, upon meeting Markle, he felt like needed to impress the stunning Suits actress. There's no denying that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are beyond smitten with each other.

Facebook boss finally apologises over data breach

    Facebook is changing the way it shares data with third-party applications, Mark Zuckerberg announced Wednesday in his first public statement since the Observer reported that the personal data of about 50 million Americans had been harvested and improperly shared with a political consultancy. The Facebook CEO broke his five-day silence on the scandal that has enveloped his company this week in a Facebook post acknowledging that the policies that allowed the misuse of data were a breach of trust between Facebook and the people who share their data with us and expect us to protect it. We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t then we don’t deserve to serve you, Zuckerberg wrote. He noted that the company has already changed some of the rules that e...

Trump’s early morning tweet: fired back at Joe Biden

    President Trump fired back at Joe Biden in an early morning tweet, saying the former vice president is trying to act like a tough guy. Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault, the president said. He doesn't know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way, he added. Don't threaten people Joe! Biden reportedly said at an anti-sexual assault rally in Florida that he would have beat the hell out of Trump in high school over comments the president has made about women. A guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it, Biden said, according to ABC News. They asked me if I'd ...

EU firm to make British passports

    Swapping the EU’s burgundy passport for the old blue version has been hailed by Brexiteers as a symbol of Britain’s regained independence. But Franco-Dutch firm Gemalto has won the contract to manufacture the document, the Telegraph reported. The firm undercut rival bids by around £50 million, the newspaper said. Tory MP Sir Bill Cash, chairman of the Commons European Scrutiny Committee, branded such a move completely wrong and unnecessary. The tender to produce the passport was understood to have been put out across the EU under single market rules. Sir Bill said: I think it is incongruous to say the least. It is completely unnecessary and it is symbolically completely wrong. Whatever the conditions which led to the decision in terms of pricing, the fact is tha...
