12 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Eat Eggs

    If you do want to play chicken with infections, viruses and diseases, add an egg or two to your diet daily. Just one large egg contains almost a quarter (22%) of your RDA of selenium, a nutrient that helps support your immune system and regulate thyroid hormones. Kids should eat eggs, especially. If children and adolescents don’t get enough selenium, they could develop Keshan disease and Kashin-Beck disease, two conditions that can affect the heart, bones and joints. 1.

Trump’s decision to pardon Joe Arpaio could be a crucial piece of evidence in the Russia investigation

    The Washington Post's report on Saturday that President Donald Trump asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions about dropping the case against former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio offers a critical window into Trump's thinking. Trump's alleged conversation with Sessions and subsequent decision to pardon Arpaio could shed new light on Trump's motives when he spoke to former FBI director James Comey about ending the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn one day after Flynn resigned. Arpaio, an early and enthusiastic Trump surrogate, was convicted of criminal contempt in July for violating a court order to stop racially profiling Latinos. When Trump allegedly asked Sessions this past spring whether it would be possible to drop the federal criminal investig...

Labour in dramatic policy shift over Brexit

    In a dramatic policy shift, Labour is pledging to continue UK membership of the EU single market and the customs union during a transitional period following Brexit in March 2019. The party's shadow Brexit secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, has also not ruled out negotiating the possibility of a new single market and customs arrangement on a permanent basis. Effectively, a Labour government would try to keep Britain inside an economic union while leaving the political union with the European Union. At the general election, Labour promised to seek to retain the benefits of the single market and customs union as part of a jobs-first Brexit. But party leader Jeremy Corbyn has so far stopped short of committing to continued membership beyond the date of Brexit. However, writing in T...

British PM decided to quit

    Theresa May has pencilled in Friday, August 30, 2019 as the day she will quit as Prime Minister. That gives her exactly two years to see Britain through Brexit before handing over to her successor. Mrs May is on a charm offensive with her MPs entertaining small groups of 15 plus partners to a day out at her Chequers country retreat. Each MP is emailed personal invitations until they accept. She greets each guest in person at the door, offering them prosecco, canapés and homemade chocolates with husband Philip to persuade them to give her the time to complete the withdrawal from the EU. One Tory MP who was a guest said: “It’s clear she won’t lead us into another election and will be gone by September 2019. She invited MPs to Chequers to ensure there isn’t a -leadership cont...

EU nationals applying for UK citizenship jumps by 80% after Brexit

    The number of EU nationals applying for British citizenship has nearly doubled in the wake of the Brexit vote, official statistics reveal. They show the figure jumped by 80% as thousands originally from other countries in the bloc sought naturalisation. There were 28,502 applications for citizenship from EU nationals in the year ending in June 2017 up from 15,871 in the previous 12 months.

Jonathan Portes, professor of economics and public policy at King’s College London, said: Historically immigrants from outside the EU have been much more likely than EU migrants to apply for UK citizenship for example the vast majority of long ...

Singapore Born Grandmother Deported From Britain After 30 Years Allowed To Return

    A mother-of-two who was deported despite living in Britain for 30 years has been granted a reprieve by the Home Office after reversing their decision. Irene Clennell, 53, who was the main carer for her British husband John, was placed in an immigration detention centre before being deported to Singapore earlier this year. Clennell, who lived in County Durham and has two sons and a granddaughter, had just £12 in her pocket and no change of clothes when she was removed from the country, the Press Association reports. At the time she accused the Home Office of treating her like a terrorist and said despite promising to send someone to meet her in Singapore, they never did. But in a statement, the Government said she has now been granted a visa. It said: Mrs Clennell has been ...

Women in tech explain why they don’t report sexual harassment

    Silicon Valley firms are facing unprecedented scrutiny about the way they handle sexual harassment, after a slew of cases from woman claiming discriminiation, inappropriate behaviour, and even assault. In 2015, there was Ellen Pao, who launched a landmark but unsuccessful suit against her former employer, investment firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers. Earlier this year, former Uber employee Susan Fowler alleged harassment and discrimination and claimed her former manager had propositioned her. And then there were the dozen female founders and venture capital partners who came forward to allege harassment from vaunted Silicon Valley names like 500 Startups founder Dave McClure, Binary Capital cofounder Justin Caldbeck, and Lowercase Capital founder Chris Sacca. All in ...
