Meghan Markle’s Christmas Gift For Queen Elizabeth II Mauled By Dogs

    Meghan Markle managed to find the perfect Christmas gift for Queen Elizabeth II, but her adorable corgis mauled it. According to Mirror UK, Markle managed to find a singing toy hamster for the queen. When she gave it to Prince Harry’s grandmother, she couldn’t help but laugh and say that her dogs will now have company. A source said that the little hamster had a Santa Claus suit on. It also had a rope behind it that when pulled, will make it sing a Christmas song. Unfortunately, Queen Elizabeth II’s dogs found the hamster and mauled it to pieces. It was so funny, especially when the corgis tried to take hold of the toy, the source said. The royal family is known for giving each other symbolic and hilarious gifts for Christmas as opposed to expensive ones. Last yea...

Ivanka Trump reveals the painful secret behind her dad’s hairstyle

    A new book is alleging that the President’s daughter Ivanka revealed that it was the result of painful cosmetic surgery to hide his bald spot. According to a new book by Michael Wolff, Trump’s bald spot was cut out of his scalp and the remaining skin was pulled in and sewn shut. She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate a contained island after scalp-reduction ­surgery surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the centre and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The explosive book entitled Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House also claims the President uses Just For Men hairdye to camouflage his grey strands. The extract reads: ‘The color, s...

May faces Brexit clash over VAT on imports

    Theresa May is facing a New Year clash with opponents of Brexit as soon as MPs return to Westminster after their two-week Christmas break. Pro-Remain MPs claim that under new legislation being debated in the Commons on Monday, UK firms will be forced to pay VAT up front on imports from the EU. The VAT changes, included in the Government's Taxation (Cross-border trade) Bill, could affect more than 130,000 UK firms, according to anti-Brexit MPs. Nicky Morgan, the Tory Brexit rebel who chairs the Treasury Select Committee, has told Sky News she plans to ask her committee to launch an urgent investigation when it meets on Tuesday. She also said she plans to write to HM Revenue and Customs asking what contingency plans are being made to help UK importers avoid being hi...

US braces for coldest night in its history

    Parts of the US are expecting what could be the coldest night in the country's history, with temperatures expected to feel as cold as -35C. The east coast is in the grip of an Arctic blast with a storm that brought more than a foot of snow, hurricane-force winds and coastal floods. Residents shovel out their vehicle the day after the region was hit with a 'bomb cyclone' on January 5, 2018 in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts In Boston, cars were frozen into the ground after floodwater turned to ice, while conditions were so bad in some places that diggers were needed to rescue people. Sky's US Correspondent Hannah Thomas-Peter said much worse was forecast for the weekend, including record-breaking temperatures and strong winds. The wind and cold...

Brexiteers warn Michel Barnier of iron will to walk away from bad deal

    A delegation of pro-Brexit politicians and campaigners will this week warn the EU’s chief negotiator that there is huge support for reverting to WTO rules instead of accepting a bad deal, in what they say will be a display of Churchillian iron will. Steven Woolfe, an MEP, will meet with Michel Barnier in Brussels along with former CBI head Lord Digby Jones, Labour Leave chairman John Mills, and former British Chamber of Commerce chief John Longworth. The group hopes to foster a more positive tone in the negotiations and to show Mr Barnier that large swathes of the UK are determined to quit the bloc - despite bids from Tony Blair and Lord Adonis to reverse the referendum result. Mr Woolfe said he set up the meeting as he was irritated that the EU’s chief negotiator ...

British PM urged to stay in single market and customs by 20 MEPs

    Theresa May is being urged to change course and seek full membership of the European single market and customs union by 20 British MEPs, including three Tories and the majority of Labour politicians based in Brussels. In a letter that lays down a challenge for the prime minister but also the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, the group claims the case for staying in the internal market has become stronger since the referendum. They warn that crashing out of the economic grouping would make Britain poorer and suggest that voters should still be given a chance to rethink Brexit altogether. The best way to secure Britain’s prosperity would be to remain close to Europe, inside the single market and customs union, and to secure a deal that keeps Britain in the room, write th...

Meghan won’t be touching Royal money without consent

    There's been quite a bit of speculation over whether or not Meghan Markle would be required to sign a prenup before her May wedding to Prince Harry. However, even if a prenup isn't signed, it's unlikely skeptics who think Markle could try to take money from the Royal family have to worry, as a new report indicates that she still probably won't have any access to her husband's millions. Royal Expert Marlene Koenig revealed to The Sun (via Elle UK) that because Markle will still be a U.S. Citizen while she waits for her citizenship in the UK to be approved (which can take several years), she likely won't receive any of the money from the royal family or Prince Harry himself, as she would then have to pay income taxes to the United States Internal Revenue Service.
