Angry response from White House as Donald Trump tax returns leaked

    The White House has responded angrily after Donald Trump's tax returns were leaked, showing the President earned £123million in 2005. According to the documents, the billionaire paid £31 million in income taxes on the earnings. They show the President paid a rate that was effectively just under 25 per cent thanks to a tax he has since sought to abolish. The pages from Mr Trump's federal tax return show the then-real estate mogul also reported a business loss of 85 million in 2005, although the documents do not provide details. The forms show Mr Trump paid an effective tax rate of 24.5 per cent, a figure well above the roughly 10 per cent the average American taxpayer hands over each year. © Provided by Independent Print Limited But it is below the 27.4 per cent that taxpay...

White House says Donald Trump doesn’t believe Barack Obama wiretapped him personally

    Donald Trump The White House has said Donald Trump does not believe Barack Obama wiretapped him personally  even if as it called on the Congress to press ahead with a probe into the president’s allegation. Mr Trump last weekend accused Mr Obama of electronically eavesdropping on him shortly before the November election. He did so without providing any evidence, and the White House called on Congress to investigate the claim. White House press secretary Sean Spicer insisted Mr Trump still believed the allegation he had made. Yet he said the president had used the word wiretap to more broadly refer to surveillance or other activities. He does not think Obama went out there and wiretapped him personally, he said. There are are a whole host of techniques to or surveil someone....

Parliament passes Brexit bill and opens way to triggering article 50

    Theresa May’s Brexit bill has cleared all its hurdles in the Houses of Parliament, opening the way for the prime minister to trigger article 50 by the end of March. Peers accepted the supremacy of the House of Commons late on Monday night after MPs overturned amendments aimed at guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens in the UK and giving parliament a meaningful vote on the final Brexit deal. The decision came after a short period of so-called ping pong when the legislation bounced between the two houses of parliament as a result of disagreement over the issues. The outcome means the government has achieved its ambition of passing a straightforward two-line bill that is confined simply to the question of whether ministers can trigger article 50 and start the formal Brexit p...

North Korea warns of merciless strikes as U.S. carrier joins South Korea drills

    North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un North Korea warned the United States on Tuesday of merciless attacks if an aircraft carrier strike group led by the USS Carl Vinson, which is joining South Korean forces for exercises, infringes on its sovereignty or dignity. North Korea, which has alarmed its neighbours with two nuclear tests and a string of missile launches since last year, said the arrival of the U.S. strike group was part of a reckless scheme to attack it. If they infringe on the DPRK's sovereignty and dignity even a bit, its army will launch merciless ultra-precision strikes from ground, air, sea and underwater, the North's state KCNA news agency said. North Korea's official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). On March 11 alone, many enemy carrier-...

May hits back over Sturgeon’s demand for new independence vote

    Scottish govt Nicola Sturgeon said Scots would be given a choice about whether to follow the UK into a ‘hard Brexit’ or become independent. Theresa May has faced down Nicola Sturgeon’s demand for a second referendum on Scottish independence, accusing the SNP leader of  tunnel vision and rejecting her timetable for a second vote. The prime minister said that the Scottish leader’s plan to hold a second referendum between the autumn of 2018 and spring 2019 represented the worst possible timing, setting the Conservative government on a collision course with the administration in Holyrood. The first minister’s intervention had been timed a day ahead of when May had been predicted to trigger article 50, but No 10 later indicated that it would not serve notice to leave the EU unt...

5 Things You Should Never Text or Email

    Most of us in our instant gratification isn’t enough society assume that the potential fallout from transmitting sensitive information via text, fax or email is outweighed by the convenience of getting something where it needs to be fast. After all, becoming the victim of an identity-related crime isn’t the end of the world, right? Your Social Security Number Think of it as the secret password to access everything about your life.

Prime Minister’s left her diary in a public train

    Theresa May ’s travel diary was left behind in a public train carriage in a major security breach. The highly sensitive document contained precise details of the Prime Minister’s plans, including times and locations of her future movements. It set out exactly when Mrs May would be visiting a named Cheshire hotel away from cameras as well as attending a dinner at a private house. Former royal bodyguard Inspector Ken Wharfe slammed the serious security breach, saying it was just inexcusable. A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: We have been made aware of claims around a government document and will investigate accordingly. No 10 refused to reveal whether the papers were reported lost at the time or if the person who forgot them had been identified. According to MI5, the UK te...

Nicola Sturgeon’s last ditch bid to derail Brexit if Scotland is not offered special treatment in negotiations

    Nicola Sturgeon will threaten to derail Brexit by setting out plans for a second independence referendum unless Theresa May offers Scotland a special deal. The Scottish First Minister could name the date she intends to hold a new referendum as early as this week, The Telegraph understands, if Mrs May does not bow to her will. Ms Sturgeon has previously hinted that autumn 2018 would be a suitable time to call a referendum. The ultimatum is expected to be delivered on Monday morning with the intention of influencing a Commons vote on Monday on MPs being given a meaningful say on the final deal offered to Britain by the EU. She also wants to pile pressure on Mrs May just 24 hours before t he Prime Minister hopes to be in a position to formally trigger Article 50. If the Artic...

Turkey calls for sanctions on Netherlands

    Turkey told the Netherlands on Sunday that it would retaliate in the harshest ways after Turkish ministers were barred from speaking in Rotterdam, as a row over Ankara's political campaigning among Turkish immigrants escalated. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the Netherlands was the capital of fascism as it joined other European countries in stopping Turkish politicians holding rallies due to fears that tensions in Turkey might spill over into their communities. The Dutch government barred Cavusoglu from flying to Rotterdam on Saturday and later stopped Family Minister Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya from entering the Turkish consulate there, before escorting her out of the country to Germany. Dutch police used dogs and water cannon on Sunday to disperse hundreds of proteste...
