Podcast appearances and mentions of kit malthouse

Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan and Jo Tanner, assess the implications of President Trump's impending tariffs on the UK economy and the global market. They discuss the political strategies surrounding these tariffs, the potential impact on trade relations, and the broader economic consequences. The conversation also transitions to the assisted dying legislation currently progressing through Parliament, highlighting the political dynamics at play.We also consider, at length, the Assisted Dying Bill. We look at complexities of the assisted dying legislation currently under review in the UK Parliament. Nikki Da Costa, Former Director of legislative affairs at Number 10, discusses the significant changes made to the bill during the committee stage, particularly the removal of key safeguards intended to protect vulnerable populations. The discussion also highlights the challenges surrounding the implementation of the bill, including the readiness of the NHS and the ethical implications of the proposed legislation. As the bill moves forward, the conversation emphasises the importance of addressing concerns about the potential impact on vulnerable individuals and the responsibilities of MPs in the legislative process.Kit Malthouse, a Conservative MP, backs the assisted dying legislation. They discuss the various amendments made to the bill, the safeguards put in place, and the ongoing debate surrounding the right to choose. Malthouse addresses concerns about the safety of the bill, the role of the NHS versus private provision, and reflects on the personal impact of the legislative process.

In this fifth instalment of our special mini-podcast series, we take you back inside the Public Bill Committee for the latest updates as MPs continue their scrutiny of the assisted dying bill. This week we speak with Kit Malthouse MP, a co-sponsor of the Bill and a key voice in the Committee's deliberations. Kit Malthouse, a former Home Office Minister and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Choice at the End of Life, is a strong supporter of the assisted dying bill and a key ally of its sponsor, Kim Leadbeater MP, in the Public Bill Committee. In this episode, Kit shares his insights on the Committee's discussion of key amendments this week, as well as the further changes he hopes to propose later in the process. We explore the challenge of determining how much detail should go on the face of the bill and how much should be left to regulations, the unusual role of Government Ministers in the Committee – speaking as Ministers but voting as MPs – and whether the decision to alter the judicial safeguards is eroding support for the bill. _____

The spotlight was back on the assisted dying bill this week after it was revealed that the requirement for a high court judge to decide on cases was to be scrapped. Those in favour of assisted dying say the change will make it safer, but does it undermine trust in the bill? Gaby Hinsliff, in for John Harris, talks to our deputy political editor, Jessica Elgot, about the changes, and asks Kit Malthouse and Jess Asato – MPs on different sides of the debate – what happens next Send your questions and feedback to politicsweeklyuk@theguardian.com.

Hello and welcome to the Alcohol Alert, brought to you by The Institute of Alcohol Studies.In this edition:Will the Health Disparities White Paper help where previous strategies have failed? 🎵 Podcast feature 🎵Ban on drinking during football matches may be overturned after nearly 40 years‘Sobriety tags’ to be rolled-out further, following scheme’s “success”Councils to receive £85.7 million for drug and alcohol servicesParents choose a “reluctantly accepting” approach to children drinkingProtecting public health in trade and investment agreementsMandatory calorie labelling on menus comes in and cracking down on gambling adsWe hope you enjoy our roundup of stories below: please feel free to share. Thank you.IAS BlogsTo read blogs click here.Will the Health Disparities White Paper help where previous strategies have failed?🎵 Podcast feature 🎵Following the February release of the Levelling Up White Paper*, the Government is set to publish a Health Disparities White Paper this Spring, which should set out how the gap in health inequalities will be reduced and how the Levelling Up plan of delivering 5 additional years of healthy life by 2035 will be achieved.In our podcast we spoke to Alice Wiseman, Director of Public Health at Gateshead Council, about what could be expected from the White Paper, particularly in terms of alcohol. She said, “It’s really important that it’s a cross-government approach, if we don’t combine action across all wider determinants of health we won’t achieve the aspirations set out in the Levelling Up White Paper.”The Health Foundation think tank has highlighted ‘Five tests for tackling health disparities’ within the levelling up agenda, including that there needs to be significant investment to support the proposals – which the Levelling Up White Paper did not include – and how a cross-government approach is crucial to success.The Alcohol Health Alliance and IAS will be responding to the Health Disparities White Paper once it is published.* A White Paper is a report that sets out proposals for future legislation.Ban on drinking during football matches may be overturned after nearly 40 yearsIn November 2021, the Fan Led Review of Football Governance was published, which set out recommendations for how to reduce issues within the game, particularly financial issues. On 25 April 2022 the Government announced that it accepts or supports all ten of the strategic recommendations.Within one of the recommendations is the suggestion to assess whether the current alcohol rules – established 37 years ago – are fit for purpose. The current rules mean spectators cannot drink alcohol in sight of the pitch in England’s top five leagues. The Review refers to the “perverse outcome” of being promoted from the sixth to the fifth league and it being unaffordable to the club due to not being able to sell as much alcohol.The Government says it will consider the case for pilot schemes of the sale of alcohol in sight of the pitch, but that this “must be balanced against wider fan safety considerations”. They cited the “appalling conduct of some fans at the EURO 2020 final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium” partly being driven by alcohol.Chief Constable Mark Roberts of Cheshire Police, previously told Sportsmail that it was “madness” to lift the alcohol ban in stadiums during matches, highlighting a surge in arrests at football matches this season and the violence at Euro 2020.There is very little evidence as to how a change in alcohol sales legislation at football stadiums would affect rates of violence. The University of Stirling is currently working on a number of studies on ‘Understanding the role of alcohol consumption in football cultures‘. The first of these was published in December 2021 and concludes that “alcohol regulations in some nations and sports – where restrictions are based on historical disorder – may no longer be appropriate”.Focus on alcohol-related violence in football has predominantly been on violence in and around stadiums, however there should also be consideration of changes to alcohol rules potentially affecting domestic violence when spectators return home.‘Sobriety tags’ to be rolled-out further, following scheme’s “success”The Ministry of Justice has judged the rolling out of alcohol-monitoring tags “a success” and will therefore widen the roll-out to other people leaving prisons. More than 3,100 people have been fitted with such tags and it is estimated that by 2025 around 12,000 people will have had a tag.This apparent success is based on compliance to wearing the tag, with the Government stating that over 97% of those on so-called ‘sobriety tags’ have not drunk while tagged. In January, Dr Carly Lightowlers wrote a blog for IAS on the topic, and highlighted that:“A focus on compliance – in terms of alcohol-free days – is somewhat of a smokescreen as what is needed is evidence of whether drinking and related offending are reduced in the long term after tag removal, which is yet to be provided.”Minister for Policing, Kit Malthouse, said, “It is not only protecting the public from the scourge of alcohol-fuelled crime – it also gives probation officers the chance to work with offenders to help them turn their lives around.”Councils to receive £85.7 million for drug and alcohol servicesAs part of the promise to implement the vast majority of Dame Carol Black’s drug review recommendations within its Drug Strategy, the Government has announced the allocation of £85.7 million to local councils in additional grants to improve drug and alcohol treatment services. The release lists how much each local authority will be given for ‘Drug strategy allocation’ and ‘Inpatient detoxification allocation’.Local councils and their partners have been asked to provide plans to improve these systems, which will be agreed with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).The Local Government Association welcomed the additional funding with Councillor Louise Gittins, Vice Chair of the LGA’s Community Wellbeing Board saying:“People with drug and alcohol problems should be able to get the right support and treatment when they need it. Councils want to see vulnerable people being given another chance to find work, rebuild relationships and find safe and secure accommodation and will work with partners to improve the life chances of those impacted by drug addiction.”It is not clear how far the Drug Strategy will go to support those needing alcohol treatment services, with references to drug treatment and support being the prevailing rhetoric. Conservative Minister Maggie Throup responded to a call for an Alcohol Strategy by saying that “the implementation of many aspects of the drug strategy will also benefit people seeking treatment for alcohol dependency”. MPs such as Labour’s Dan Carden continue to call for a specific Alcohol Strategy:Parents choose a “reluctantly accepting” approach to children drinkingA University of Bristol study explored parental views and attitudes towards alcohol use during adolescence among their children and other young people.In general, parents felt that it was inevitable that adolescents would drink alcohol, although they were aware of the risks and were mostly disapproving. Many parents therefore chose a “reluctantly accepting” approach. The researchers write that “This approach was determined by weighing disapproval of drinking against consistency with wider culture and parental behaviour, support for autonomy of the child, and avoidance of social sanctions.”A key theme was that parents wanted to protect their relationship with their children, maintain an open, honest and communicative relationship, and ultimately limit risk and minimise harm. The researchers write that:“Various boundaries and strategies were employed to this end, including care around role modelling, gradual introductions to alcohol, boundaried provision, clear risk reduction messaging and parental monitoring.”Protecting public health in trade and investment agreementsFollowing a recent publication that showed alcohol industry arguments were infiltrating World Trade Organization discussions (see our blog here), a number of academics have released a WHO Bulletin on non-communicable disease prevention policy and trade and investment agreements.The analysis identified opportunities for protecting and promoting public health in trade and investment agreements, including:The researchers write that this analysis provides support for greater engagement between the health and trade policy sectors, and that a high level of health protection in trade and investment agreements requires cooperation between disciplines, and engagement with experts in law, economics and public health policy.Mandatory calorie labelling on menus comes in and gambling ads face a crack downAs part of the obesity strategy, from 6 April new rules came into force requiring calorie information to be displayed on menus and food labels for businesses employing over 250 people. The two exceptions are for food that is only on a menu for 30 days of the year or less and alcoholic drinks above 1.2% ABV.Regarding alcohol labelling, Ministers are still stating that the consultation on mandatory labelling will “be launched in due course”.In marketing news, the Committee for Advertising Practice (CAP) has announced that gambling and lottery advertising will no longer be allowed to use content “likely to be of strong appeal to children or young persons”. This will include “all sportspeople well-known to under-18s” – including topflight footballers and those with large social media followings – as well as people from reality TV shows popular with young people, and any references to video game content.The UK Alcohol Alert (incorporating Alliance News) is designed and produced by The Institute of Alcohol Studies.

Isabel Hardman presents the highlights from Sunday's politics shows. Today's podcast features Kit Malthouse, Yvette Cooper, Caroline Lucas and Ihor Zhovkva. 

British parliamentary authorities are calling in the police after a newspaper reported that traces of cocaine had been found at numerous sites in Parliament.House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said he was contacting police after the Sunday Times reported that illegal drugs were being used inside Parliament buildings.The newspaper said tests using drug detection wipes found traces of cocaine in 11 locations that are only accessible by accredited parliamentary lawmakers, staff and journalists, including a washroom near Prime Minister Boris Johnson's parliamentary office.“The accounts of drug misuse in Parliament given to the Sunday Times are deeply concerning -- and I will be raising them as a priority with the Metropolitan Police this week,” Hoyle said in a statement. “I expect to see full and effective enforcement of the law.”Johnson's spokesman, Max Blain, said Monday that the reports “are concerning.”The allegations emerged just as the government announced a new strategy to combat drug abuse and drug-related crime. The plans published Monday call for more resources to rehabilitate addicts, alongside a police clampdown on drug dealers and traffickers.The government also plans to target recreational drug users to suppress demand for narcotics, including by contacting clients found in drug dealers' seized phones “with a range of messages to discourage their drug use.”Policing minister Kit Malthouse said reports of drug use in Parliament weren't surprising.“There are obviously several thousand people who work on the estate and I would be surprised if there weren't some lifestyle users of drugs amongst them,” he told Sky News.- AP

In a week where the man who murdered Sarah Everard was sentenced and Sabina Nessa's killer was arrested, we look at how safe women are, in all aspects of their lives. We speak to Kat from Women's Aid about the work they are doing to ensure women have a safe place to live, how the money raised from the 1.6 Women's Aid Challenge will go to help countless women and their children living with abuse. We also speak to a woman who is standing up to sexual harassment in a workplace with deep rooted misogyny, she is fighting for the right to build a career in a traditionally male dominated environment. We start reading ‘Unbound' by Tarana Burke and begin to get to know the powerful woman she is today from her traumatic early years, and our Foodie Collective cooks up a dish high in phytoestrogens which is extremely tasty! And as we come to the end of our WI 1.6 sea swimming challenge for Women's Aid, we reveal our total to date from the donations we have received from the amazing Collective.  We have been appalled at what is coming out of the press in the last week about language used around rape, how police forces around the UK need to be accountable for the heinous actions of Sarah Everard's killer. The total lack of understanding of women's fear, they might as well have been talking from another planet, yes, we're talking about the infamous Kit Malthouse and Phillip Allot both men In extremely powerful positions.  Women's Aid is a charity it is a grassroots federation working together to provide life-saving services in England and build a future where domestic abuse is not tolerated. Our guest, Kat, is a senior support worker with Women's Aid and she joins Jinty for a talk about the work they do, the statistics for domestic abuse in England and Wales are shocking and we get to know what our fundraising is doing to help this charity.   Sexual harassment in the workplace is sadly, nowhere near a thing of the past, we speak to a brave woman who is standing up and fighting against sexual abuse and harassment as she tries to build a career in a traditionally male dominated environment. Sam talks about the deep rooted misogyny she has had to deal with while working as a gas engineer in a company that allows women to be treated as objects rather than giving them space to learn and grow their careers.  The Book Collective crack the spine of Tarana Burke's ‘Unbound' a powerful memoir from the founder and activist behind the Me Too movement. In the opening chapters we learn about Tarana's life and the rape and abuse she suffered at the hands of older boys and how a woman's words made sure she never told of her ordeal. It's a painfully brilliant start to this book. Next week we will be reading from Breath Again to and including Indelible.  The Foodie Collective are still in Menopause food month and Jinty, once again cooks a delicious dish this week of Sticky Tofu which is full of phytoestrogens! She explains about each ingredient and how you can cook this yourself. https://www.sixvegansisters.com/2020/03/19/sweet-sour-tofu/  We reveal the total for our Women's Aid challenge and are so thankful and humbled by every donation. But are we going to carry on sea swimming…?  If you have been affected by any topics within this podcast you can find help and support with the following in the UK: Women's Aid: helpline@womensaid.org.uk Rape Crisis: www.rapecrisis.org.uk Acas: www.acas.org.uk Citizens Advice: www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/contact-us/contact-us/ Samaritans: www.samaritans.org  or call for free: 116 123 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jinty-sheerin/message

A former serving officer with the Metropolitan Police, Wayne Couzens, has been given a whole-life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing the marketing executive, Sarah Everard, in March. Scotland Yard says hundreds of officers will start patrolling public places in London where women have reported feeling unsafe, while those officers working in plain clothes will now be deployed in pairs. The Met has also instructed them to be "understanding and tolerant" when their actions are questioned. The Shadow Domestic Violence and Safeguarding Minister, Jess Phillips, and the Minister for Crime and Policing, Kit Malthouse, speak to Mishal Husain after hearing the perspectives of women on the streets of London. Mishal also gets the opinions of the Labour police and crime commissioner for Northumbria, Kim McGuinness, and former Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Met, Brian Paddick.

Police Minister, Kit Malthouse, talks to Woman's Hour about violence towards women in the light of Sabina Nessa's murder. We talk to him about the funding and strategies that were promised to how the police will act at Friday's evening vigil for Sabina. We speak to Professor Adam Balen, a consultant in reproductive Medicine at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, about why he thinks it's a good idea to have special messages in contraceptive packages advising people not to leave it too late if they want a baby. We discuss flexible working and how it really works in practice. At the moment when you've lasted 26 weeks in your job you have the right to request flexible working, but now there are government plans to let you make that request from day one. We speak to Emma Stewart from Timewise who wants those plans to go even further and to Leanne Skelton who runs a nursery and worries that more flexibility will be a logistical nightmare. And we speak to two women who love gaming, but say there's some alarming and worrying abuse towards women and non-white gamers. They are Shay Thompson, a gaming journalist and presenter as well as Cassie Hughes who's the co-founder of Black Twitch UK.

Justice secretary Robert Buckland has apologised for failing rape victims, following a record fall in prosecutions and convictions in England and Wales in recent years. The government has published a review of the issue, which found that only 3% of reports resulted in somebody being charged in 2019 and 2020 - down from 13% five years ago. The review includes a series of proposals aimed at improving those figures and ensuring that investigations focus more on attackers than victims. Mishal Husain spoke to Sarah, who chose to waive her anonymity and talk about her experience; Jess Phillips, shadow minister for domestic violence and safeguarding; and Kit Malthouse, crime and policing minister.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6410PER NATALE LO STATO RACCOMANDA AI CITTADINI DI DENUNCIARE I VICINI DI CASAOgni totalitarismo ha bisogno dei delatori che sporgano migliaia di denunce alle autoritàdi Caterina GiojelliBuon Natale e chiamate la polizia: «Abbiamo personale sufficiente per rispondere a tutte le chiamate nel territorio e abbiamo organizzato un gruppo per rispondere specificamente alle segnalazioni relative a Covid-19. Saremo pronti a intervenire il 24 e 25 dicembre». Lo ha assicurato Sylvain Caron, capo del dipartimento di polizia della città di Montreal, in conferenza stampa con la sindaca Valérie Plante. La quale sindaca ha annuito gravemente rivolgendosi ai cittadini, «se vedete entrare più persone in una casa, è la cosa giusta da fare». Certo, «la polizia interviene con un ordine di priorità e non è detto si abbia la garanzia che immediatamente compaia un poliziotto in casa», ma la città più popolosa della provincia del Quebec «è stata l'epicentro della prima ondata di Covid-19 e centinaia di montrealesi sono morti a causa della pandemia – ha proseguito il sindaco -. Queste tragedie dovrebbero convincere la popolazione a rispettare le regole». Tuttavia se i lutti e la preoccupazione di incorrere in sanzioni non bastassero a dissuadere i vicini di casa, ben vengano le segnalazioni, «scatterà la visita della polizia al momento opportuno», ha assicurato Caron.IL REATO DI CENONE IN BELGIOUn po' abusata ma la neolingua del Covid-1984 è la più parlata da governanti e amministratori sotto le festività. In Belgio una sorta di reato di cenone è stato istituito nientemeno che dalla ministra dell'interno, Annelies Verlinden, annunciando ronde delle pattuglie delle forze dell'ordine per il paese per scoraggiare assembramenti e focolai da salotto: «A Natale sarà la polizia a vigilare sul rispetto delle misure sanitarie. Dove necessario, suonando il campanello, bussando a casa delle persone». Certo, in tempi normali non si potrebbe chiedere agli agenti di fare irruzione senza mandato per sanzionare chiassosi cenoni illegali in luoghi privati, ma come ha chiarito il solerte Vincent Gilles, presidente del sindacato di polizia Slfp, «se c'è il sospetto di un reato, e con le misure speciali anti-Covid l'assembramento lo è, le forze dell'ordine possono intervenire d'ufficio, senza mandato, per inosservanza delle norme sanitarie». Così, per Natale, tutti gli attovagliati riceveranno una multa pari a 250 euro a testa. E se si rifiutano di conciliare, «il caso può passare da amministrativo a penale».L'ARRUOLAMENTO DEI SORVEGLIANTI INGLESIUn inasprimento del cittadino-garante della salute pubblica dopo mesi di allenamento antipandemico: in Gran Bretagna, appena scattata la "Rule of six" (vietati raduni di oltre sei persone sia all'aperto che al chiuso) il "crime minister" Kit Malthouse (sottosegretario in raccordo fra Interni e Giustizia) intervistato dalla Bbc ha esortato i cittadini a chiamare e fare segnalazioni in merito a «qualsiasi sospetta violazione della regole». L'ammenda? Una multa da 100 sterline, soggetta al raddoppio ad ogni infrazione successiva sino ad un massimo di 3.200 sterline. E la rivalsa dei sorveglianti è assicurata nel paese in cui il questore Anthony Stansfeld alle prese con i centralini intasati era stato costretto a supplicare i londinesi di fare la spia solo per i casi «palesi ed eclatanti», limitandosi negli altri casi a esprimere «cortese disapprovazione verbale», e dove il capo della polizia del Northamptonshire segnalava «dozzine e dozzine» di chiamate giornaliere da chi voleva fare arrestare il vicino per una corsa nel quartiere («Temo che il mio vicino stia uscendo per la seconda volta nello stesso giorno, dovete arrestarlo») o per avere acceso un barbecue in giardino. Al contrario, i capi di dodici dipartimenti di polizia, tra gli altri Humberside, West Midlands, Greater Manchester e Avon e Somerset, hanno aperto sezioni apposite sui propri siti invitando i cittadini alla compilazione di moduli online per segnalare raduni di due o più persone.I POLIZIOTTI DA BALCONE E I NIPOTI DELLA STASIAncora: la polizia spagnola alla fine di marzo aveva già assicurato alla giustizia circa 2 mila persone, arrestate grazie ai video e alle foto scattate dai «colleghi di balcone», zelanti cittadini che si sono arrogati il compito di segnalare chiunque violasse la quarantena: oltre 230.000 le multe comminate in un solo mese grazie alla delazione. In Oklahoma la polizia di Tulsa a un mese dal diffondersi del coronavirus ha ammesso che era impossibile stare dietro alle segnalazioni di imprese e vicini di casa dissidenti, da Chicago a Denver migliaia di segnalazioni di "possibili trasgressioni" hanno portato ad altrettante verifiche, multe, ammende a chiunque fosse stato avvistato aprire un negozio, fare yoga, entrare in chiesa o giocare a golf. A Los Angeles, insieme alla richiesta di mettere al gabbio poveri potatori di siepi o dipendenti autorizzati a recarsi al posto di lavoro, alla polizia è stato chiesto di arrestare due persone alla fermata del bus: una aveva tossito. In Nuova Zelanda, il sito web della polizia creato apposta perché i cittadini potessero denunciare i trasgressori è andato in crash dopo che troppe persone hanno tentato di accedervi contemporaneamente per segnalare cose come «partite di frisbee» all'aperto. In Germania la polizia è sbottata e ha cercato di dissuadere i neonipoti della Stasi dall'eccesso di delazione, funzionari disperati dalle troppe chiamate hanno spiegato che la gente «non dovrebbe fare una denuncia ogni volta che vede tre persone sedute su una panchina al parchetto» o continue soffiate «su ristoranti rimasti aperti o su assembramenti di persone che si riuniscono nei parchi».IL FALSO ALLARME TORINESEDifficile non ricollegare il boom di spioni all'allegro clima costruito da governanti e media. Vero, c'è chi ha fatto moltissimo: la Danimarca ha invitato per esempio a una vera e propria "delazione di Stato". L'Autorità sanitaria nazionale si è spinta infatti a chiedere ai cittadini di denunciare con apposito modulo un "sospetto contagiato": «Se sei preoccupato per il comportamento di una persona che sai essere stata contagiata o sospettata di essere infetta dal coronavirus, compila un modulo informativo (vedi il riquadro "Contenuto correlato") e invialo all'Agenzia per la sicurezza del paziente». Ma anche in Italia ci difendiamo. Come dimenticare sotto Pasqua la guida della giunta Raggi? «Ci sono assembramenti di persone che ritieni in contrasto con le regole sull'emergenza sanitaria? Puoi segnalarli direttamente all'Autorità competente con il Sus (sistema unico di segnalazione) attivo sul portale istituzionale di Roma Capitale. È semplice, segui le istruzioni». O l'improvvida uscita del ministro della Salute Roberto Speranza a Che tempo che fa? «Aumenteremo i controlli, ci saranno le segnalazioni» aveva risposto a Fabio Fazio che gli chiedeva come avrebbe fatto a vigilare sul suo divieto di tutte le feste private. E come dimenticare cosa è successo dopo: a Vinovo, alle porte di Torino, un uomo ha denunciato ai carabinieri lo svolgimento di una festa nell'appartamento accanto al suo. «Venite, il mio vicino ha più di 6 persone in casa». Peccato che una volta suonato i carabinieri si sono trovati davanti a sei persone, tutte dotate di mascherina.PEGGIO DELLE SOFFIATE LE PREDICHE DEI GERARCHI AL GOVERNOPoco male, stando all'ormai famigerato Rapporto Censis «Meglio sudditi che morti» più della Stasi gli italiani sognano il modello cinese tutto sospetto, risentimento, controllo sociale e punizione: il 77,1 per cento dei cittadini chiede pene severissime per chi non indossa mascherine e non rispetta il distanziamento; il 56,6 per cento vuole il carcere per i contagiati che non rispettano quarantena e isolamento, il 31,2 per cento non vuole che vengano curati (o vuole che vengano curati solo dopo, in coda agli altri) coloro che, a causa dei loro comportamenti irresponsabili o irregolari, hanno provocato la propria malattia. In altre parole, arriva il Natale e peggio delle multe e delle ronde della polizia hanno fatto solo le prediche dei gerarchi giallorossi. «Il Natale non è solo fare regali, molto buono per dare impulso all'economia, ma è anche raccoglimento spirituale, e farlo con tantissime persone non viene troppo bene», ha spiegato il premier Conte. «È previsto un incontro sul numero delle persone che potranno riunirsi a tavola per la cena e il pranzo di Natale» ha detto a inizio mese il ministro Roberto Speranza. «Le foto degli assembramenti mostrano scene ingiustificabili, irrazionali, irresponsabili. Dovremmo sentire ogni giorno dentro di noi il lutto nazionale» ha detto il ministro per gli Affari regionali Francesco Boccia dopo lo shopping dell'Immacolata, quello per cui «non è eresia seguire la Messa o far nascere Gesù due ore prima. Eresia è non accorgersi dei malati e dei bisognosi, delle difficoltà dei medici».«Nel periodo natalizio ci saranno 70 mila unità addette al controllo ma con grande senso di equilibrio», ha detto il ministro dell'Interno Luciana Lamorgese annunciando che il Viminale ha messo a disposizione circa 70 mila uomini delle forze dell'ordine coadiuvati dall'esercito e dalla polizia municipale, pattuglie a piedi con i megafoni per invitare la gente al distanziamento, droni e telecamere e multe da 400 a mille euro per chi viola le norme. «A Natale e a Capodanno permettiamo ai cittadini di spostarsi tra i piccoli Comuni», ha detto il ministro degli Esteri Luigi Di Maio. «Io chiuderei tutti in casa per l'intera durata delle festività», è ancora il ministro Speranza. Almeno la Stasi era una cosa seria. Titolo originale: Buon Natale e chiamate la polizia (o la neuro)Fonte: Tempi, 19 dicembre 2020Pubblicato su BastaBugie n. 696

At the start of lockdown we stood with our neighbours and applauded key workers in the NHS. Now we are being told to report the people next door to the police. Policing minister Kit Malthouse says people should "absolutely" call police if there's a large social gathering in their street. Has the government created a snooper's charter with its new laws? Our court correspondent Tristan Kirk says the regulations have caused a stir in legal circles by banning "mingling" but not defining what that means. And he also says courts are not expecting to see many, if any, people convicted. David Cameron's become the fifth former prime minister to warn Boris Johnson not to break international law as up to 20 Conservative MPs threaten to join a rebellion in the Commons. The former Tory leader says defying the law us “the very, very last thing you should contemplate” and that he has “misgivings” about Mr Johnson's tactics. Evening Standard political reporter Sophia Sleigh says Mr Cameron's words are more "measured" than those of other critics like John Major and Tony Blair, but the rising tide of rebellion appears to have Downing Street worried.

Leaving the European Union without a deal in March doesn't scare former Brexit Secretary, David Davis. He tells Christopher Hope on this week's Chopper's Brexit Podcast, “I don’t find ‘no deal’ intimidating at all – it is not the best outcome but I don’t find it frightening. But the Government and the European Union do.” He admits “there will be a bumpy first year” after a no-deal Brexit but the UK will be able to keep the £39 billion ‘Brexit bill’, adding: “That’s a lot of hospitals and schools.” On the Brexit talks, Mr Davis says MPs should be given the full legal advice on Theresa May’s Brexit deal because it is “fundamental” to understanding the final deal. Also on this week's podcast Kit Malthouse, the Housing minister, Professor Chris Hanretty from Royal Holloway University, Damian Lyons Lowe and Dr Isabel Taylor from polling agency, Survation - plus The Telegraph’s Political Editor Gordon Rayner tells the podcast what the hell is going on in the fast-moving world of Brexit.

How would you feel about compulsory three year tenancies? Would they provide essential security of tenure for families or pose too big a risk for landlords?

The cost of living alone, rather than living as a couple, is more than £1000 a year, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics. In the UK nearly eight million people now live alone and spend on average £21 a week more than individuals who live as a couple. Money Box reporter Marie Keyworth visits Sussex to investigate the cost of living, shopping, exercising and holidaying alone. Up to 90,000 people on benefits are at risk of losing their home when the Government stops paying the interest on their mortgage in just over two weeks' time. In future, help with mortgage interest will be paid as a loan not a benefit. But new figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show that around 90% of those who get this benefit have not yet signed up for the loan that replaces it. It will be the same amount and still paid direct to their lender. But it will be a loan from the Government and secured against their home. If they do not sign up for the loan arrangement the money will stop from April 6th. We hear from Kit Malthouse, the Minister for Family Support, Child Maintenance and Housing, and from debt advisor Sara Williams, the founder of the Debt Camel blog. Also - Under Financial Conduct Authority rules, if you want to transfer a defined benefits pension of more than £30,000, you must seek guidance first. It's a safeguard against you making potentially disastrous financial decisions - but not an absolute block. That's because under pension freedom, it's your money and your decision. But one Money Box listener who received advice, but chose a different option, found it impossible to get her confirmation letter - which meant her pension transfer couldn't go ahead.
