The NRA invests millions every year into a slush fund, to buy the support of politicians. It’s all perfectly legal and out in the open. Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley are just a few of the familiar names on this list;
Probably right, but it sure as hell won’t get better with the Tories in control. The working class is ****ed, especially when working class people in currently secure jobs vote for a party that would allow what is happening to the British Gas workers to go ahead. But for the grace of God and all that. I am in the unlucky/lucky position as follows. I would have qualified for my state pension 6 months ago today, if the retirement age not been changed, which means I am only 6 months away from qualifying for it. The country needs another Peasants Revolt.
Johnson thinks he is stood opposite him, at the dispatch box because every time Starmer ties him up in knots with actual facts, you can see that puzzled look on Johnson’s face as he mutters “What?”
There are a number of issues Trump has face after he leaves the presidency in whatever graceless and ugly manner that my be. He and his family's wheelings and dealings are under scrutiny. I think to there are loans to be repaid that will put more pressure on him when presidential protection gone. I'd love to see him crash
The Daily Fail showing yet again that truth doesn’t matter when it comes to riling the faithful. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/n...lXO9F2Rtby7N-63CLlMDcuEMtV4AnpIvIb-GSg5cGbzyc
Rees-Mogg is just a bait machine, he knows people hate him so he makes deliberately inflammatory remarks to wind people up. It's not really worth listening to him, because his aim is to piss people off.
Also the FT reports the Government is planning to rip up the 48 hour working directive (in fairness I have never seen this enforced), but more noteworthy - delink overtime from leave calculations and remove the need for employers to report their working hours. The Government's response typically was a suggestion that leaving the EU allows them to improve workers rights.... Of course none of this is a surprise to anyone with an IQ more than 10.
This a disturbing read. Charities under attack by politicians and media. https://www.theguardian.com/society...arities-poll-finds?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
A it of information, from a travel insurance company, reference the EHIC and the GHIC. What is EHIC and Will It Still Be Valid After Brexit? The EHIC card enables UK citizens travelling to a country within the EU to seek emergency treatment or necessary medical care for the same cost as a resident in the visiting country before returning home. Following Brexit, on the 24th December 2020, the UK and the EU reached a trade deal. It says that all EHIC cards issued before the end of 2020 will be valid until their expiry date. Once an EHIC card has expired or is cancelled, it will be replaced in the form of a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC). However, before going on holiday, the Government website advises that you should buy travel insurance with healthcare cover. It warns that it is “particularly important” to get the right cover if you have a pre-existing medical condition. The UK launches Global Health Insurance Card As of the 11th January 2021, UK residents will now be able to apply for a UK Global Health Insurance Card. The new agreement ensures the rights of UK residents to access emergency medical care when travelling in the EU. The GHIC will cover chronic or existing illnesses and routine maternity care as well as emergencies just like the EHIC. GHIC is free via the official website. Any website charging a fee or that is not the official website may be a scam. One key difference since that trade agreement, is that neither the EHIC nor the new GHIC now provides cover in four countries that used to offer reciprocal arrangements for British travellers: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, which are in the EEA, but not the EU. Healthcare in Norway and Switzerland, in particular, can be very expensive, so it’s vital to make sure you are properly insured when you travel there. The UK is also in talks with countries that are part of the EEA regarding further ongoing co-operation with non-EU states. cover under the GHIC arrangements. During office hours you can call them on 0191 218 1999. Why Medical Travel Insurance is Essential Over 20% of ALL holidaymakers have needed at some stage to seek medical treatment when abroad. And of course, the likelihood of this can rise if you have a pre-existing medical condition. So the risks of travelling without comprehensive travel insurance are very real… Although the EHIC card will remain valid until it expires or is cancelled if you choose to travel without travel insurance you could still be facing huge medical expenses should the worse happen. To give you an example of a claim, surgery in Greece which needs your repatriation back to the UK, could result in a bill of up to £25,000. According to ‘Which?’, UK holidaymakers travelling in the EU could face hospital bills of £2,000 for food poisoning or £14,000 for a heart attack, if they travel without insurance. An estimated one in five UK holidaymakers doesn’t take out travel insurance before going abroad, according to ABTA research from 2019, meaning millions of people are at risk of having to pay these medical fees out of their own pockets. Buying the right level of cover can also protect you from medical emergencies and cancellations related to COVID-19.
The Dutch government has resigned over a child benefits scandal. I didn’t think governments had to resign, no matter how bad they are. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/15/dutch-government-resigns-over-child-benefits-scandal
Not quite that simple. Just leaving their HQ to move it to Texas. Filing for bankruptcy in New York (as I understand it. May be wrong).
