Comparing one’s children is unkind

Arouba al-Muneef: I RECEIVED a beautiful message that the administration of a school in the US sent to parents a few weeks before exams informing them that their children’s exams are to soon start and that the administration appreciates the parents’ keenness to see their children successful. The message reminded parents that among their children there are artists who do not need to understand mathematics, there are entrepreneurs who do not care about history and literature, there are musicians who do not care about their chemistry grades and athletes whose physical fitness is more important than physics. The message added that if your child gets a high score, then this is great. However, if he or she does not, then the school hopes parents will not deprive them of their self-confidence and...

EU workers could leave UK within five years

    One third of non-British workers are considering leaving the UK, with highly skilled workers from the EU most likely to go, according to new research into the impact of Brexit on the jobs market. The consultancy firm Deloitte found 47% of highly skilled workers from the EU were considering leaving the UK in the next five years. In a report on Tuesday, it warns of serious implications for employers, raising the pressure on ministers to come up with sensible immigration plans and to find ways to improve the skills of UK workers and make better use of robots in the workplace. Overall, 36% of non-British workers in the UK said they were thinking of leaving within the same period, representing 1.2m jobs out of 3.4 million migrant workers in the UK. Just more than quarter (26%) ...

Trump claims victory as court partially reinstates travel ban

    The US Supreme Court on Monday partially reinstated Donald Trump’s controversial travel ban targeting citizens from six predominantly Muslim countries, prompting the president to claim a victory for national security. The court said it would examine the case in full in October but said that the ban could be enforced immediately for travelers from the targeted countries “who lack any bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.” The court tempered its ruling by saying the ban could not be implemented for now against people who have personal links to the United States, citing the examples of foreign nationals wishing to visit family or students accepted to attend a university. But the Supreme Court’s decision nonetheless marks a win for the Republican...

May strikes £1bn deal with DUP to prop up government

    Theresa May has been warned that her ‘grubby £1.5bn deal’ with the DUP could threaten the peace process. The Prime Minister struck a deal with DUP leader Arlene Foster earlier today to prop up her minority Government. The deal struck in 10 Downing Street 18 days after the June 8 General Election also saw the Conservatives formally ditch plans to abolish the triple-lock protection for state pensions and means-test the winter fuel payment during this Parliament. The agreement has been greeted with widespread anger, with Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, warning it will threaten the Good Friday agreement. The price of today’s DUP-Tory deal is DUP support for continued Tory austerity and cuts to public services, he said. It provides a blank cheque for a Tory Brexit which t...

EU citizens living in UK will have to apply for special ID card

    All 3 million EU citizens resident in Britain will have to apply for inclusion on a settled status register if they want to stay in the country after Brexit under Home Office proposals. A 15-page policy paper proposes a light touch online system to process applications that will give applicants the same indefinite leave to remain status as many non-European nationals who have also lived in Britain for five years. The EU settled status residence proposals could entail an identity card backed up by entry on a Home Office central database or register. It has yet to be decided if the residence document for settled status EU citizens will be issued as an identity card or may just exist as an entry on a Home Office database. The policy paper was published as Theresa May issu...

Prince Harry give Meghan Markle £100k engagement ring which made late mother Diana’s bracelet

    Prince Harry is believed to be designing an engagement ring for Meghan Markle made from a bracelet which belonged to his late mother. The 32-year-old royal has reportedly commissioned royal jeweller Harry Collins to create the emerald sparkler. Harry has been dating Suits actress Meghan, 35, for a year and rumours have been circulating that he is preparing to propose soon. The Daily Star Sunday reports that Harry is planning to propose with an £100,000 cushion set emerald and platinum ring. The newspaper quoted a source as saying the ring is flashy but not ostentatious. Harry is reportedly keen to marry Meghan sooner rather than later to ensure his grandfather Prince Philip can be at his big day. The Duke of Edinburgh, 96, has been in ill health recently and it is though H...

Why PM pull her face like this: Liverpool Mayor reveals

    Echo WS The Mayor of Liverpool has explained what he said to Theresa May to provoke this grimacing reaction. The Prime Minister was pictured pulling a disgusted face and looking to the skies during a visit to the city for Armed Forces Day. The funny snap was widely shared on social media and many people saw it as an opportunity to take part in an impromptu caption competition. But one plucky twitter user just decided to ask Mayor Joe what he had said to elicit the gurning response, the Liverpool Echo reported. Joe Anderson tweeted a message, suggesting that the cause of the PM’s discomfort may have been his mentioning her Labour rival Jeremy Corbyn , or merely just that she didn’t like his sense of humour. He said: Thousands singing Oh, Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury, but ca...

Jeremy Corbyn will be Prime Minister in six months as he says

    Jeremy Corbyn has said he will be Prime Minister in six months, according to the founder of Glastonbury Festival. Michael Eavis also said the Labour leader suggested he would scrap Britain's Trident nuclear defence as soon as I can. Somerset Live quoted Mr Eavis telling festival-goers at a Q and A what Mr Corbyn said to him backstage, before delivering a speech on the Pyramid Stage to rapturous applause. He said Mr Corbyn told him he would be PM in six months. Mr Eavis said he then asked the Labour leader when he was going to get rid of Trident, and Mr Corbyn replied: As soon as I can. But a Labour source said Mr Eavis appeared to be paraphrasing a conversation with Mr Corbyn. The future of Trident has been a major source of tension within Labour since Mr Corbyn assumed th...
