Johnson said it was “painful” to give up the job of prime minister but he said nobody was “indispensible.” On Wednesday Johnson, 58, had vowed to soldier on, after admitting it was a “mistake” to keep Chris Pincher on as a government whip despite sexual misconduct allegations against him. After receiving a hostile grilling at Prime Minister’s Question Time, and then before the House of Commons Liaison Committee, he was lobbied by Michael Gove and several other Cabinet ministers who urged him to resign. But Johnson then sacked Gove as Secretary of State for Levelling Up and appeared determined to carry on, having told MPs earlier he had a “mandate” from the general election victory of December 2019 and would continue to deliver on the Conservative Party’s manifesto promises. On Thursday morning Nadhim Zahawi, who had been appointed chancellor less than 48 hours before following Sunak’s resignation, turned on Johnson, writing on Twitter: “This is not sustainable and it will only get worse: for you, for the Conservative Party and most importantly of all the country. You must do the right thing and go now.” Then, at lunchtime on Thursday, Johnson finally confirmed he would be resigning, triggering a leadership contest in the Conservative Party. So now what? Johnson will remain as prime minister until a leadership election takes place in the ruling Conservative Party. Among the front-runners will be Sunak and former Health Secretary Sajid Javid, but the Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is expected to be in the running, along with Attorney General Suella Braverman, and possibly Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and trade minister Penny Mordaunt. When a new leader has been chosen Johnson—the 14th prime minister of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign—will visit the head of state at Buckingham Palace to formally tender his resignation. The scandal over Chris Pincher had proved to be the final straw for many of his Cabinet colleagues, who had backed him in a vote of confidence over the “partygate” scandal last month. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/07/07/1110078914/montana-abortion-pills Montana clinics preemptively restrict out-of-state patients' access to abortion pills The four states bordering Montana have "trigger laws" in effect or pending now that the U.S. Supreme Court has ended federal protections for abortion, making conservative Big Sky Country an unlikely haven for women seeking to end their pregnancies. But Montana's potential to become an abortion refuge has been diminished — not by the lawmakers and governor whose attempts to restrict abortions have been stymied by the state constitution's right to privacy, but by the operators of at least four of the state's five clinics, which are preemptively limiting who can receive abortion pills. Officials from Planned Parenthood of Montana, which operates three of the four clinics, said the intent is to ensure that they and their patients from states with trigger bans — laws to ban or restrict abortion that were designed to go into effect if Roe v. Wade was struck down — are protected from criminal charges and lawsuits. But the policy change is yet another complication for women in neighboring states such as South Dakota who want to end a pregnancy and face a rapidly narrowing field of options. "That was a state that we were hoping was going to be available," said Kim Floren, director of the Justice Through Empowerment Network, a South Dakota abortion fund which provides financial aid to people who need the procedure. "At this point, it's just more bad news on top of more bad news." Patients often prefer medication abortions over surgical abortions because they are cheaper, require less time at a clinic, and offer them greater privacy and more control. The most common type of medication abortion is a two-part pill regimen: The first taken in the clinic if an in-person visit is required; the second typically taken at home. In many states, the medications can be shipped to the patient after a telemedicine appointment. In 2020, medication abortions made up more than half of abortions in the U.S. for the first time, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights. Advocates expect medication abortions to become a target of new state laws. In South Dakota, a law that bans abortions by telemedicine took effect July 1. The Planned Parenthood policy change in Montana is a response to the shifting legal landscape, said Jennifer Sandman, senior director of public policy litigation and law for Planned Parenthood's national organization. "People are acting under conditions of extraordinary chaos and fear that has been instilled by where the Supreme Court has left us and by threats by anti-abortion politicians in some states," Sandman said. Planned Parenthood of Montana decided June 30 not to provide abortion pills at their clinics in Billings, Great Falls and Helena to patients from states where trigger laws have gone into effect. At the time, bans were in place in South Dakota, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, but Planned Parenthood officials said they see a significant number of patients from South Dakota. The officials did not respond when asked how many South Dakota patients would likely be affected. Montana's other neighbors — Idaho, Wyoming and North Dakota — also have trigger laws, but they have not yet gone into effect. Story Real Estate: Home. It’s where you build your legacy.

Freeman, 97, died Sunday at Caledonia, Mississippi's Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle, according to Stars and Stripes. His death was announced in his local newspaper, with an obituary composed by his children. The military legend is survived by a sister, two daughters and four grandchildren. He is also survived by 10 great-grandchildren. Freeman was the last surviving soldier who helped to inspire "Band of Brothers," a seminal television series depicting life in combat during World War II. The "Band of Brothers" HBO miniseries, based on a book by Stephen Ambrose, followed the members of Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division from training in Georgia in 1942, through some of the war's fiercest European battles and through the war's end in 1945. Its producers included Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. Richard "Dick" Winters, Easy Company commander, died following a several-year battle with Parkinson's disease, longtime family friend William Jackson said Monday. An intensely private and humble man, Winters had asked that news of his death be withheld until after his funeral, Jackson said. Winters lived in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and died in suburban Palmyra. If you guys haven’t watched that series, I highly recommend it. One of the best war series I’ve ever seen. Now, it’s time for the topic that I love sports! https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/07/brittney-griner-pleads-guilty-faces-10-years.html Brittney Griner Pleads Guilty, Faces 10 Years in Russian Prison But wait a minute Garrison, you might say… I thought you said sports! Not a WNBA player! In a court outside Moscow on Thursday, WNBA superstar Brittney Griner pleaded guilty to drug-smuggling charges widely thought to be politically motivated. She faces up to ten years in prison — though the Biden administration is working to secure her release, possibly as part of a prisoner swap. In an appearance on Thursday detailed by the state news agency RIA Novosti, Griner told the court she hadn’t intended to commit a crime when she brought two cartridges of hashish oil into Russia in February but that she had merely packed in a hurry. For years, Griner has played for a team in central Russia to supplement her income in the WNBA. Griner’s trial, which began several days ago, is all but predetermined in the state’s favor; the majority of cases in Russia that are not pleaded out end in a guilty verdict. Her next hearing is scheduled for July 14. A guilty plea may help set the wheels in motion for a potential prisoner exchange. (Speculation in Russia has focused on Viktor Bout, an arms dealer known as the Merchant of Death.) Russian authorities have previously stated there will be no prisoner swap until a verdict is handed down. On Wednesday, the White House announced that President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris had spoken with Griner’s wife, Cherelle, to assure her that the administration is working to bring Griner home. The call came after Griner asked for help in a handwritten letter delivered to the White House on July 4. In it, she wrote that she was “terrified I might be here forever.” This has been your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief. If you liked this show, hit that share button for me would ya?

The 2- and 10-year Treasury yields briefly invert for the third time this year sparking fresh recession fears. Concerns of a global economic slowdown prompt crude prices to tumble 10 per cent before recovering. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government is in turmoil following the resignations of Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid over continued political scandals.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2o78dzae Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Johnson intends to plow with him despite being in the cramped. Rún ag Johnson treabhadh leis ainneoin é a bheith sa chúngach. Boris Johnson has indicated that he had no intention of resigning as British Prime Minister despite the abandonment of his Conservative Party allies. Thug Boris Johnson le fios nach raibh lá rúin aige éirí as mar Phríomh-Aire na Breataine ainneoin a chuid dílseánach sa Pháirtí Caomhach a bheith á thréigean ina nduine agus ina nduine. In the Westminster parliament this afternoon, Boris Johnson said that the British people had given him an enormous mandate in the 2019 general election (running the country) and - in light of that - that he should continue despite being in the narrowness. I bparlaimint Westminster tráthnóna, dúirt Boris Johnson gur thug muintir na Breataine sainordú ábhalmhór dó san olltoghchán in 2019 (an tír a reáchtáil) agus - ina fhianaise sin - gur chóir dó leanacht ar aghaidh ainneoin é a bheith sa chúngach. Six other ministers and some ministerial aides resigned from the British Government today because, they said, they no longer trusted the Prime Minister. D'éirigh seisear airí eile agus roinnt cúntóirí airí as Rialtas na Breataine inniu de bhrí, a dúirt siad, nach raibh muinín acu a thuilleadh as an bPríomh-Aire. The six resigning ministers are Will Quince, Robin Walker, John Glen, Victoria Atkins, Jo Churchill and Stuart Andrew. Is iad Will Quince, Robin Walker, John Glen, Victoria Atkins, Jo Churchill agus Stuart Andrew an seisear airí a d'éirigh as. The controversy concerns MP Chris Pincher who resigned as Deputy Chief Whip of the British Government last week in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct while intoxicated. Baineann an chonspóid leis an bhfeisire parlaiminte Chris Pincher a d'éirigh as a chúram mar Leas-Phríomh-Aoire Rialtas na Breataine an tseachtain seo caite i bhfianaise líomhaintí faoi mhí-iompar gnéis a bheith ar bun aige agus é ar meisce. Yesterday evening, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced that they were stepping down as they were unhappy with Boris Johnson's leadership in the wake of this latest controversy. Tráthnóna inné, d'fhógair an Seansailéir Rishi Sunak agus an Rúnaí Sláinte Sajid Javid go raibh siad ag éirí as a gcúraimí mar nach raibh siad sásta le ceannaireacht Boris Johnson i bhfianaise na conspóide is deireanaí seo. In Westminster today, Sajid Javid said he had resigned because he believed Boris Johnson would not change his behavior and could no longer accept the status quo. I Westminster inniu, dúirt Sajid Javid gur éirigh sé as oifig mar gur chreid sé nach n-athródh Boris Johnson a bhéasa agus nach bhféadfadh sé glacadh ní ba mhó le cúrsaí mar a bhí. Sajid Javid pointed out that for a few months it was between two May fires whether the principle of loyalty or integrity was paramount. Thug Sajid Javid le fios go raibh sé idir dhá thine Bhealtaine le cúpla mí cé acu prionsabal dílseacht nó ionracas ba mhó ba chás leis. It was integrity that he finally chose, he said. Is é ionracas a roghnaigh sé ar deireadh, ar sé. However, the leader of the British Labor Party, Keir Starmer, claimed that the ministers who had resigned in recent days did not have as much integrity. Mhaígh ceannaire Pháirtí Lucht Oibre na Breataine Keir Starmer, áfach, nach raibh oiread na fríde d'ionracas ag na hairí a d'éirigh as a gcúraimí le cúpla lá. It's not because of integrity that they gave up, says Keir Starmer, but they realized that their race was over. Ní de ghrá an ionracais a d'éirigh siad as, arsa Keir Starmer, ach is amhlaidh a thuig siad go raibh a rás rite.

The gunman who attacked an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago fired more than 70 rounds with an AR-15-style gun that killed at least seven people. That's according to authorities, who said Tuesday that the shooter then evaded initial capture by dressing as a woman and blending into the fleeing crowd. More than 30 people were wounded. Covelli said the shooter spent several weeks planning the assault. Two of Britain's most senior Cabinet ministers have quit in a move that could spell the end of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's leadership after months of scandals. Treasury chief Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned within minutes of each other Tuesday. Both were seen as possible leadership contenders within the Conservative Party if Johnson is forced out. President Joe Biden has bestowed the nation's highest military honor to four Army soldiers for heroism that he says went above and beyond the call of duty during the Vietnam War. Biden presented the Medal of Honor to Spc. Five Dwight W. Birdwell, Spc. Five Dennis M. Fujii, retired Maj. John J. Duffy as well as Staff Sgt. Edward N. Kaneshiro, who was honored posthumously.

The Georgia prosecutor investigating the conduct of former President Donald Trump and his allies after the 2020 election is trying to compel U.S. Sen.

A new poll shows that many Americans don't expect to rely on the digital services that became commonplace during the pandemic after COVID-19 subsides. That's even as many think it's a good thing if those options remain available in the future. The poll comes from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The 30 NATO allies have signed off on the protocols needed for Sweden and Finland to become members.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is this morning in the midst of a crisis of confidence in his leadership after latest revelations that he knew about sexual misconduct allegations against MP Chris Pincher, and promoted him to a high-ranking party role anyway. He had previously claimed he was not aware of the allegations. Boris Johnson has admitted he made a "bad mistake" by not acting on it. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned minutes after Mr Johnson's admission. In the last hour, the Conservative party's vice chair Bim Afolami has also resigned and he did it live on TV. Conservative MP Andrew Brigden summed up what many in the conservative party are feeling.

Javid said "I can no longer continue in good conscience."Johnson has been hit by allegations he failed to come clean about a lawmaker who was appointed to a senior position despite claims of sexual misconduct.

Conservatives at their best are seen as hard-headed decision-makers, guided by strong values.

Chris Pincher resigned as deputy chief whip after a drunken incident, which turned out not to be an isolated case. Photo / APThe government's explanation shifted repeatedly over the past five days. Ministers initially said Johnson was not aware of any allegations when he promoted Pincher to the post in February.On Monday, a spokesman said Johnson knew of sexual misconduct allegations that were "either resolved or did not progress to a formal complaint."That account did not sit well with Simon McDonald, the most senior civil servant at the UK Foreign Office from 2015 to 2020. In a highly unusual move, he said Tuesday that the prime minister's office still wasn't telling the truth.McDonald said in a letter to the parliamentary commissioner for standards that he received complaints about Pincher's behavior in the summer of 2019, shortly after Pincher became a Foreign Office minister.

Welcome to our hebdomadal look back over the past seven days. This episode the greathearted Caroline Farrow returns to talk us through what has captured her attention, piqued her interest or made her blood boil in the news, media and tabloids including... - The very emotional story of a mother who is at the centre of a life support treatment dispute for her son with doctors saying life-support treatment should end. - 'Waste and Wokery' Staff at NHS trusts have been told to cut "diversity and inclusion" jobs by Health Secretary Sajid Javid who claims that the NHS is a "Blockbuster healthcare system in the age of Netflix" after the release of a damning report which warns of "institutional inadequacy". - Podcaster and writer Matt Walsh and his new documentary that exposes the fatal flaw of gender ideology as he travels around the world asking the question 'What is a Woman?' of strangers, women on the streets of American cities and even tribesmen in Africa. - How can Ladies be more inclusive to Trans women you ask? Apparently encourage them to smell their own poo! Yes really! This article urges all women to spend time smelling their number two's during bathroom breaks, to critically examine what many transgender have to endure as part of the cost of bottom surgery. - NHS drops 'women' from internet guidance on ovarian, womb and cervical cancers, this coming after the health service previously described ovarian cancer as affecting "the two organs that store eggs needed to make babies". - Fox goes woke: Conservative news channel promoted the story of a transgender child who switched genders at five years old as part of the network's “LGBTQ+ Pride Month” special. - Has he looked down the back of the sofa? Rishi Sunak has been accused of losing taxpayers £11billion of taxpayers' money failing to insure the UK's debt mountain against interest rate hikes. - Japanese scientists give you the finger, and not just any digit...it's a Slightly Sweaty Robot Finger!! They have created a (creepy) robotic finger covered in living skin in an advance they say brings truly human-like robots a step closer. - People aged under 40 are being urged to have their hearts checked because they may potentially be at risk of SAD, the 'mysterious' Sudden Adult Death Syndrome which is frequently being reported around the world, but no tabloids are asking the question that those of us that are awake are all thinking. - George Soros has spent $40 million over the past decade to elect 75 progressive prosecutors, a new report has found - who are now being blamed for soaring crime in some of America's largest cities. - GPs who earn an average of £100,000 per year and generally work the equivalent of three days a week are threatening to strike over a new contract that would force them to offer appointments on weekday evenings and on Saturdays.  - Train drivers, who are also threatening strikes have had pay rises 20 times the rate of average workers in the last decade. - Hypocrite Harry! Henry Charles Albert David, previously known as Prince Harry, has preached to the masses about the environment but we rarely hear him talk of his own carbon footprint. Probably because a return flight on a private jet from LA to London has 18x the carbon footprint of the average Briton in a whole year, and it is estimated he has made 21 similar trips in the last 2 years. In 2010, frustrated by many of the media headlines and negative coverage of Catholicism, Caroline began a blog in defence of Catholic teaching and to reflect on UK current affairs and world events through the lens of a Catholic woman. What began as nothing more than personal musings designed to explain and propose controversial ethics and life issues to those who had struggled with them, or to de-bunk misleading narratives and headlines, soon mushroomed and popular posts would receive more than 30,000 unique visitors a day. Between 2011 and 2017, she was a member of the organisation Catholic Voices, set up to promote the defence of Catholic teaching in the public square and made numerous media interventions on their behalf and quickly became the 'go to' voice for media organisations looking to represent a female conservative Catholic point of view. Since 2013 Caroline has writes a weekly column for the Catholic Universe and has written for and featured in a number of other publications such as the Catholic Herald, the National Catholic Register, the Conservative Woman, Mercatornet, Crisis Magazine, LifeSiteNews and Church Militant. She used to write on Catholic culture at the now defunct Spectator Arts blog and has been featured in the Daily Mail, the Observer and the New Statesman. In 2013, Caroline was included as part of the first cohort of the BBC's '100 women' and she regularly features on BBC News, Sky News, ITV's Good Morning Britain, BBC Sunday Morning Live, the Big Questions and has made multiple appearances on Radio 4's flagship Today programme, Woman's Hour, the Moral Maze and the Sunday programme as well as featuring in one-off documentaries. Caroline also presented the coverage for March for Life UK for EWTN and has contributed to News Nightly and Celtic Connections. She also frequently contributes to Talk Radio, LBC and BBC local radio as well as BBC Radio Ulster, discussing matters pertaining to Catholicism, feminism and the challenges of motherhood and family life. Caroline has an eclectic career background. She began her professional life as a student accountant for a big 5 firm before succumbing to a desire for travel and adventure and became a member of cabin crew working both long and short-haul routes for internationally acclaimed airlines. Having got the travel bug out of her system, she returned to work within investment banking and private equity in the City of London until her first child was born. Caroline is currently the campaign director at CitizenGO, has 5 children of school-age, four girls and one boy and is married to a Catholic priest who converted from Anglicanism, a few years after they were married.

Women from across British politics called Monday for action to tackle misogyny after a newspaper ran a story accusing the deputy opposition leader of trying to "distract" the prime minister during debates by crossing and uncrossing her legs.The Mail on Sunday quoted an anonymous Conservative lawmaker as saying Labour Party Deputy Leader Angela Rayner tried to throw Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson "off his stride" as she sat across from him in the House of Commons. The article called it "a fully-clothed Parliamentary equivalent of Sharon Stone's infamous scene in the 1992 film 'Basic Instinct,'" in which Stone distracts police interrogators while wearing a short skirt.Rayner accused "Boris Johnson's cheerleaders" of using "desperate, perverted smears.""I stand accused of a 'ploy' to "distract" the helpless PM - by being a woman, having legs and wearing clothes," she wrote on Twitter. "Women in politics face sexism and misogyny every day — and I'm no different."Rayner, who comes from a working-class family in northern England, left school when she was 16 and got her political start in the trade union movement. That makes a sharp contrast with Johnson, who was educated at the elite private school Eton and Oxford University. Johnson has sometimes struggled to parry her attacks during debates.The prime minister condemned the article, writing on Twitter: "As much as I disagree with Angela Rayner on almost every political issue, I respect her as a parliamentarian and deplore the misogyny directed at her anonymously today."Johnson said Monday he had gotten in touch with Rayner about the article, which he called "the most appalling load of sexist, misogynist tripe."He said the anonymous lawmaker who made the "Basic Instinct" comments would face "the terrors of the Earth" if identified."It's totally intolerable, that kind of thing," Johnson told British broadcasters.More than a century after the first female lawmaker was elected to Britain's Parliament, women make up 34% of the 650 legislators in the House of Commons. Long known for its boozy, macho atmosphere, Parliament is now a more diverse place.Still, some say change has not gone far enough. Many female U.K. politicians said the article was an extreme example of the sexism they encounter daily.Labour legislator Rachel Reeves said she hoped the article would prompt people to "call out this misogyny and sexism for what it is (so) that we get some change, because Angela and no other MP should have to put up with this sort of rubbish."Senior Conservatives also condemned the remarks. Health Secretary Sajid Javid tweeted: "No woman in politics should have to put up with this."Conservative lawmaker Caroline Nokes, who heads Parliament's Women and Equalities Committee, said she had asked the Speaker of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, to censure Glen Owen, the journalist who wrote the article.Hoyle said he had summoned the paper's editor to discuss the article.Hoyle told lawmakers that media freedom was "one of the building blocks of our democracy," but that publishing such "misogynistic and offensive" comments "can only deter women who might be considering standing for election, to the detriment of us all."Associated Newspapers, which publishes The Mail on Sunday, declined to comment on the topic.- By JILL LAWLESS Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and is experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms, Buckingham Palace said, adding that she still plans to carry on working. The diagnosis prompted concern and get-well wishes from across Britain's political spectrum for the famously stoic 95-year-old. Britain's longest-reigning monarch and a fixture in the life of the nation, the queen reached the milestone of 70 years on the throne on Feb. 6, the anniversary of the 1952 death of her father, King George VI. She will turn 96 on April 21. The palace said the queen, who has been fully vaccinated and had a booster shot, would continue with “light” duties at Windsor Castle over the coming week. “She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines,” the palace said in a statement. People in the U.K. who test positive for COVID-19 are now required to self-isolate for at least five days, although the British government says it plans to lift that requirement for England this week. Both the queen's eldest son Prince Charles, 73, and her 74-year-old daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall contracted COVID-19 earlier this month. Charles has since returned to work. There are also thought to be several recent virus cases among staff at Windsor Castle, where the queen is staying. Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases expert at the University of East Anglia, said the queen would likely be given one of several antiviral drugs that have been approved in the U.K. to treat COVID-19. “If you do get them early enough, it does reduce the risk of severe disease developing, so I would imagine any doctor for a patient in their 90s would be considering giving these antivirals,” he said. A host of senior British politicians sent get-well messages on Sunday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted: “I'm sure I speak for everyone in wishing Her Majesty The Queen a swift recovery from COVID and a rapid return to vibrant good health.” Health Secretary Sajid Javid wrote that he was “Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a quick recovery,” while opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer wished the queen “good health and a speedy recovery. Get well soon, Ma'am.” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison also sent well-wishes. “We wish her a full recovery and there are few more resilient people than Her Majesty. She has demonstrated that over a long lifetime,” Morrison said Monday, according to Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Elizabeth has been in robust health for most of her reign and has been photographed riding a horse as recently as 2020. In the past year she has been seen using a walking stick, and in October she spent a night in a London hospital for unspecified tests. The queen's doctors ordered her to rest after that and she was forced to cancel appearances at several key events, including Remembrance Sunday services and the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland in November. This month she returned to public duties and has held audiences both virtually and in person with diplomats, politicians and senior military officers. During one exchange caught on camera last week, she walked slowly with a stick and said “as you can see, I can't move” in apparent reference to her leg. The queen delivered two televised messages to the nation early in the pandemic in 2020, and has sought to lead by example. She let it be known she had been vaccinated, and last year sat alone during the funeral of her husband of 72 years, Prince Philip, because of coronavirus restrictions. Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, said members of the royal family are probably more concerned than the queen about her situation. “I would guess that she will be matter-of-fact about the diagnosis in a way perhaps that the people around her are less matter-of-fact,” he said. The queen has a busy schedule over the next few months of her Platinum Jubilee year, and is scheduled to attend in-person public engageme...

THE THESIS:  The Father of Lies cannot build, so he destroys. He cannot invent, so he twists. He cannot have his temporary victories when people know and speak the truth.

"Cases of the Omicron variant of coronavirus continue to cause concern that the NHS is going to be overwhelmed, while the number of people self-isolating remains a threat to the economy. Health Secretary Sajid Javid spoke over the weekend of his belief that the peak of infections may have been reached in London, although he expects that in the rest of the country cases will continue to rise. It is still likely to be a few weeks before Javid's hopes can be confirmed, while the next cab off the rank as far as issues facing the Government is concerned will be the continued rise in the wholesale price of gas and its effect on the cost of living. Boris Johnson is already under pressure to approve a reduction in the level of VAT charged on household energy bills while suggestions are being made that the large energy companies are charged a green tax on their profits. With inflation unlikely to fall back to anywhere close to the Government's target and the bank of England already committed to a cycle of interest rate increases, household bills are expected to rise sharply in the coming year while disposable income is hit by increases in taxation.

HJ Talks About Abuse: Conviction of NHS morgue rapist

On this week's episode of the HJ Talks About Abuse podcast, the abuse team discuss the conviction of morgue rapist, David Fuller, and how the NHS will most likely have to foot the cost of his sickening actions.  We all have that one thing in common: one day we are going to die, and when we do, if we can bring ourselves to think about it, would like to think our remains shall be treated with dignity and respect. The conviction of hospital electrician David Fuller, who admitted to performing sexual acts on corpses in morgues, raises questions about the safe keeping of bodies and human remains. It would be assumed, understandably, that this would be a key concern for the NHS yet Fuller, who had a criminal record (burglary), nevertheless, enjoyed unrestricted access to the hospitals where he worked. His seemingly unchecked ability to denigrate the deceased demonstrates a collective lack of respect by the NHS and, especially so, given it has previously been told to improve safeguarding. The Lampard report published in 2015 in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal recommended that: All NHS hospital trusts should undertake DBS checks (including, where applicable, enhanced DBS and barring list checks) on their staff and volunteers every three years. The implementation of this recommendation should be supported by NHS Employers. The Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said the NHS had written to all trusts asking for mortuary access and post-mortem activities to be reviewed in the wake of Fuller, but the question to be asked is why was he allowed access to hospital facilities given his criminal record?  A DBS check no doubt revealed, or would have revealed Fullers' offending history, and it should have followed that he was not to be employed on NHS hospital premises, or if he was in restricted and managed circumstances. Tragically Fuller was allowed to offend under the radar, and the families of the deceased now live with the knowledge of the sexual abuse. The NHS may have to pay a price too because of the failure to detect and stop him when it clearly had opportunities to do so. The families affected, arguably, have a case to bring against the NHS Trusts concerned under Articles 3 and 8 of the ECHR: the prohibition of degrading treatment; and the right to family life. Following the decision in: Akpınar and Altun v Turkey close family members who can demonstrate that they have suffered some form of psychiatric injury attributable to the discovery that their loved one was sexually abused, arguably, have a case and this would be on the basis that either or both articles had been breached.   The breach of both articles arises from the fact that the NHS Trusts would be liable for the actions of its employee, who had afforded to him the opportunity to violate the deceased, either by failing to undertake a DBS check, or having done so paid no regard to the risk that his past revealed. To sexually abuse a dead person is degrading, and in turn arguably equally so for close family members whose right to grieve has been compounded by the discovery of Fuller' depravity.

The Omicron variant is now estimated by government models to be at 200,000 infections per day and confirmed Covid cases are currently at around 54,000. People have had difficulty ordering the home testing kits and with Christmas ten days away, the public are all having to make sense of what's happening. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University, he sits on the UK's vaccine taskforce and is the UK Government Adviser on Life Sciences. As the new variant is doubling every couple of days, the government says it needs to bring in Plan B - COVID passes, mandatory mask wearing and compulsory vaccines for NHS staff. MPs will be voting on this on Tuesday and the BBC estimates as many as seventy Conservatives could vote against the government. The main weapon against Omicron is vaccination and the Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said that the UK will "throw everything" at ramping up the booster programme. The booking website for England crashed and there have been long queues at vaccination centres.

Under pressure from rising infections and worried health experts, the British government on Wednesday urged millions of people to get booster vaccine shots but resisted calls to reimpose coronavirus restrictions such as mandatory mask-wearing. Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the government would “stay vigilant, preparing for all eventualities,” but would not trigger its “Plan B” of bringing back restrictions on daily life. Britain is relying heavily on vaccines to keep the virus at bay during the fall and winter months. Almost 80% of people 12 and over in the U.K. have received two vaccine doses and millions are being offered a booster shot, including everyone over 50. But critics say the booster campaign is moving more slowly than the virus. The U.K. recorded 49,139 new infections on Wednesday, by far the highest total in Europe, and cases are averaging more than 45,000 a day, up 17% from a week earlier. Hospitalizations and deaths are also rising, though both remain far lower than before vaccination was widespread. Javid said cases “could go as high as 100,000 a day,” but insisted it was not yet time to reverse course. “None of us want to go backwards now," he said at a televised news conference, adding that the government did not think the health system was under “unsustainable” pressure. But Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the health care group the NHS Confederation, said Britain's health service risked being overwhelmed unless more measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 were introduced. “It is time for the government to enact Plan B of its strategy without delay, because without pre-emptive action, we risk stumbling into a winter crisis,” he said. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative government lifted domestic coronavirus restrictions in July, including mandatory face coverings and social distancing. Nightclubs and other crowded venues were allowed to open at full capacity and people were no longer advised to work from home. Infections remained stubbornly high after the reopening and recently have begun to increase — especially among children, who largely remain unvaccinated. Hospitalizations and deaths are gradually rising, with deaths averaging 136 a day over the past week. Britain has recorded more than 138,000 coronavirus deaths, the highest total in Europe after Russia. Against that backdrop, some feel that Britons have been too quick to return to pre-pandemic behaviour. Masks and social distancing have all but vanished in most settings in England, although Scotland and other parts of the U.K. remain stricter. Even in shops, where masks are recommended, and on the London transit network, where they are mandatory, adherence is patchy. A plan to require proof of vaccination to attend nightclubs, concerts and other mass events in England was dropped amid opposition from lawmakers, though Scotland introduced a vaccine pass program this month. Critics say the vaccination program — among the world's speediest earlier this year — is moving too slowly. More than 4 million people in Britain have had a booster, although about half of those eligible have yet to receive their shot. The U.K. also waited longer than the U.S. and other European nations to vaccinate children from 12-15, and only about 15% in that age group in England have had a shot. The government says it will act to boost vaccination rates, with a new ad campaign and more sites where kids can receive their shots. “We've got plenty of vaccines and we just need people to come forward and play their part," Javid said. He also said the government had bought two antiviral drugs to prevent coronavirus infections or lesson the severity of disease — one by Pfizer and the other by Merck Sharp & Dohme. Neither has yet been approved by Britain's medicines regulator, but Javid said he hoped they would be in use by the winter. Javid renewed calls for people to wear masks in crowded places and keep their distance from others, a...

As we approach Winter, murmurs of another lockdown have slowly been entering the national conversation. Just yesterday Health Secretary Sajid Javid tweeted that it was a “national mission” to get jabbed so that we “can get through Winter and enjoy Christmas” while Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Vam-Tam last week threatened Plan B if people acted “like Covid was over”.But is all this pessimism really warranted? After all, Covid infection rates in the UK have been falling for over two weeks and, compared to the rest of Europe (where cases are rising), it does not look in bad shape. To get a more balanced picture, Freddie Sayers spoke to Dr. Raghib Ali, a clinical epidemiologist from the University of Cambridge and a frontline doctor. Last month, he gained nationwide attention when he published ‘The Lockdown Myths that need challenging', arguing (among other things) that it was incorrect to say that the UK's high death rate was attributable to locking down late or that lives would have been saved if we lockdown earlier. In today's UnHerdTV, he expanded on his thinking and explained why he didn't think restrictions would be coming in before Christmas:Most of the modellers think that cases, hospitalisations and deaths will fall over the coming months because of the very high levels of population immunity thanks to a combination of vaccination and natural immunity. And therefore it's very unlikely — unless there is some new variant which we have seen before — that there will be a situation like last winter. Because of that, I don't think we're going to have any new restrictions between now and ChristmasFor more read The Post from UnHerd See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid today laid out his two plans for dealing with Covid this winter. The first, Plan A, proposes a booster shot for everyone over 50, combined with the flu jab. This would also see contact tracing continue, along with self-isolation for the infected and financial support for those isolating. Plan B proposes vaccine passports and mask mandates in certain settings. To discuss how this was received in the Commons, Katy Balls is joined by Isabel Hardman, James Forsyth and, making a surprise appearance, Fraser Nelson.

Before they wore physical masks during the pandemic our leaders wore metaphorical masks to hide their sinister motives and also their double standards. But we are now increasingly seeing underneath that mask as it slips off our leaders. We explore this on this week's Tim's News Explosion. With NSW and Victoria abanding covid zero, the Premiers are now tying vaccination rates to ending lockdown. Last week NSW Gladys Berejiklian revealed that modest freedoms would only be restored for fully vaccinated residents once the state reaches 70% of the eligible population double dosed, though her Deputy John Barilaro has now said that most restrictions on the unvaccinated would drop at 80%.  NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard finally said something sensible that the fresh air is the safest place to be, yet the NSW Government still mandates face masks outside in lockdown areas. Former Prime Minister was Tony Abbott issued with a $500 mask fine after being photographed and snitched on by a local in his Manly area. News Corporation media outlets Sky News Australia and Fox News in the US feature hosts and personalities who have been some of the most vocal against mask and vaccine mandates. Yet the New York Post owned by the company mandates masks in its offices and News Corp Australia will mandate the vaccine for workers at its printing presses. Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie claimed and she and other Australians are becoming “agitated” with “anti-vaxxers” and that they are "coming at you, lock, stock, and barrel". President Joe Biden announced an indirect vaccine mandate signing an executive order that US companies with 100 employees or more will need their employees vaccinated or to produce a negative covid test every week.  Californians will vote in tomorrow's gubernatorial recall election. Governor Gavin Newsom despite keeping the state in some form of lockdown for a year has overseen one of the highest covid death rates in the nation. The main Republican challenger is African-American radio host Larry Elder. Elder was abused by a white woman wearing a gorilla mask who tried to egg him. Elder has been endorsed by Hollywood actress and Harvey Weinstein victim Rose McGowan who has accused Newsom's wife of attempting to stop her going public about Weinstein.  In the UK Boris Johnson's Government has shelved plans to introduce vaccine passports at nightclubs and large events. Health Secretary Sajid Javid stated that they found there was no medical justification for vaccine passports though the government will still keep them as an option. Labor Senator and Former NSW Premier Kristina Keneally arguably the powerful opponent of the Australian nationalist and patriot movements is attempting to elbow out a daughter of Vietnamese migrants to save her political career attempting to parachute into a lower house seat in South Western Sydney at the expense of the local branch's preferred candidate. Keneally lives on the exclusive Scotland Island on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Keneally also authored an op-ed in May 2020 stating that migration should not return to pre-pandemic levels because they take Aussie jobs. This was also a view expressed about Asian migrants by former NSW Labor leader Michael Daley.

But the arrival of the more contagious delta variant, first identified in India, has likely caused cases to spike.Despite the increase, the British government says it is still aiming to lift all remaining lockdown restrictions in England on July 19, a move that many scientists say is dangerous.Health Secretary Sajid Javid says cases could hit a daily high of 100,000 this summer, a level of infection not reached during previous waves of the virus.Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government is hoping the rapid rollout of vaccines has created a wall of immunity. That, it says, will limit the number of hospitalizations and deaths.LISTEN ABOVE
