MITCH MCCONNELL IS UNDER BIPARTISAN PRESSURE TO CALL BACK SENATE OVER USPS, INCENTIVE

Angel
Mitch McConnell senate majority leader is facing bipartisan calls for the upper chamber's recess to be cut short so senators can vote on emergency U.S. Postal Service (USPS) funding and iron out the terms of a second coronavirus relief deal.
Lawmakers railed against the Kentucky Republican's plan to keep senators on holiday until September as American families struggled with their finances as the wait for further COVID-19 stimulus funding continued.
They also raised fears about the USPS' preparedness to deal with millions of mail-in ballots amid reports of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy leveling cutbacks on sorting machines and overtime.
 Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) posted on social media thus: "Bring the Senate back now to protect the USPS [Mitch McConnell]. And while we're at it, let's finally pass another COVID relief bill to help struggling families."
Blumenthal (D-CT) tweeted: "Senators should be back—we never should have left—to do our jobs in DC, just like the House," Sen. Richard  "Destruction of the the Postal Service is unconscionable & un-American. Bipartisan action is necessary now."
 Former Democratic primary contender Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO)  called on the upper chamber to return and "fully fund" the U.S. election through a USPS relief package.

Neighbor who is a gardener has been ordered to pay £250,000 to her wasp-allergic neighbour who sued her over a tree losing rotten apples into her Surrey lawn.  Antoinette Williams acted like a 'faculty bully' and displayed 'disgraceful' behaviour in the direction of Barbara Pilcher after the neighbours clashed over a forty-foot Bramley apple tree. Mrs Williams moved into her £600,000 cottage, in Dunsfold, close to Godalming, nearly forty years ago, whilst Mrs Pilcher sold the adjacent three-bedroom £500,000 cottage in 2010.  Mrs Pilcher sued her neighbour after the tree dumped rotting apples onto her garden every season, bringing swathes of wasps drawn to the fruit. However, what accompanied changed into a marketing campaign of centered harassment wherein Mrs Williams again and again stared at her neighbour thru a window, didn't prune the apple tree and saved a big stinky compost bin at the lowest of her very own lawn. Following a five-day trial at Central London Co...

  How amazing would it be to find the perfect partner to spend your life with (or at least a long while), in absolute bliss? It’s not going to happen by some movie-moment magical events, so let me show you how you can take your love life into your own hands. A well-matched partner won't meet all of your needs. As there's no such thing as a perfect partner, you're shooting for about 85%.  This means that you may meet someone who ticks all the boxes except physically he's not quite what you imagined.  That's OK. As a product of this culture, you probably have a warped definition of attraction that could use some redefining anyway. Likewise, she may not be as socially adapt as you had imagined.  My point is that these aren't deal breakers, so while you're creating your vision list, it's absolutely essential to know that your future partner won't meet all of your desires and that you'll have to sacrifice somewhere.  ...

A judge decides that preferential treatment was offered, but given the rush for PPE in the early days of the pandemic, PestFix and Ayanda Capital were likely to get contracts regardless. The use of a so-called VIP lane by the government to give PPE contracts to two businesses during the first COVID wave was illegal, according to the High Court. The challenge was brought by campaign groups the Good Law Project and EveryDoctor, who claimed that the bid procedure gave people with political ties unfair preferential treatment. They sued over contracts worth more than £340 million issued to pest control service PestFix in 2020, as well as a deal for roughly £252 million to hedge fund Ayanda Capital. The ruling adds to the pressure on Boris Johnson and his cabinet, which is dealing with a slew of sleaze claims, with Labour alleging a "pay for access" mentality within the Conservative Party. Mr Johnson admitted at Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons that he attended a Downi...
