According To A Major Tory Contributor, Boris Johnson's Leadership Has Reached A Point Of No Return

Image
Boris Johnson's premiership has passed the point of no return, according to a financier who has donated more than £3 million to the Conservatives. The issues facing the West, according to John Armitage, necessitate "real, engaged" politicians. Since Mr Johnson became Prime Minister, he has donated more than £500,000 to the Conservatives, but only £12,500 to Labour last year. The government remains "completely focused on delivering for the British people," according to a Conservative official. Mr Johnson reshuffled his cabinet on Tuesday in a bid to reconnect with MPs who are questioning his future in the wake of reports about parties hosted in Downing Street during the Covid-19 lockdowns. Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party, and several of his own MPs have all called for him to step down. Mr Johnson, on the other hand, has stated that he will transform the culture at No 10 and focus on implementing the program that helped him win a landsli

Arrests Of Trucks In Canada As Police Warn Of "Volatile" Protests

After nearly two weeks of anti-vaccine mandate protests spearheaded by truckers, Ottawa police have described the situation as "volatile" and "determined." After protestors blocked the city center with trucks and cars, Ottawa has declared a state of emergency. Thousands of litres of petrol have been seized by police in recent days. According to authorities, up to 25% of the vehicles contain youngsters who may be at risk during operations. The so-called Freedom Convoy began on January 9 in western Canada, with truckers protesting a mandate requiring them to get vaccinated against Covid-19 in order to cross the US-Canada border. The protests have evolved to include dissatisfaction with Covid's limits as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government in general. Despite the fact that the march has been generally peaceful, authorities have raised alarm about far-right extremist language among the demonstrators. Some danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

A $250 Million Settlement Has Been Reached With A US Institution Over A Doctor's Sex Assault

The University of California has agreed to pay over $250 million (£185 million) to over 200 women who claim a college gynaecologist sexually assaulted them. Several women have accused the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) of concealing James Heaps' alleged sexual assault of patients. Between 1983 and 2018, Mr. Heaps worked at the UCLA Student Health Center for 35 years. Hundreds of women claim he mistreated them, some of whom had cancer. Mr Heaps' accusations were not investigated by the institution until 2017. In hundreds of lawsuits, it has been accused of covering up a gynecologist's alleged sexual abuse of victims. In 2019, a judge ordered his medical license to be suspended for the length of the sex abuse case. The institution expressed the hope that the cash settlement would bring "healing and closure" to the women involved. Mr Heaps has pleaded not guilty to 21 felony counts of sexual abuse against seven women. According to a UCLA statement relea

The Instagram Account Of This Thunder Bay, Ont. Musician Was Hacked, And She Now Fears It's Being Used To Deceive Others

Danielle Pollari's most recent Instagram post was a video of her cover of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love. This type of video is common for the Thunder Bay-based entertainer, who uses the social media platform to promote her music and acting career. "Basically, my Instagram is my way of showcasing myself," she explained. "My website isn't even used by me. I have a website, but I primarily use Instagram to communicate with real people in the moment. So it's ideal, and as an independent artist, it's great because I don't have to rely on others to advertise my work." Then a hacker gained access to her account and locked her out. She was terrified of losing touch with the fan base she had built — or, worse, putting them in danger. It began on Jan. 29 when she received a direct message from someone asking for help "becoming verified" on the network. Pollari stated that she was urged to click on a link, but she felt unhappy

To give back to his community, a 20-year-old who made millions trading cryptocurrencies plans to start a food bank. Hanad Hassan put $50 (£37) into a cryptocurrency last year, and it was worth $1 million (£738,000) in three months. He subsequently dropped out of university to concentrate on field trading and became a multi-millionaire. Mr. Hassan now want to put his fortune to good use by assisting others. More than £200,000 has already been spent on causes through a cryptocurrency he created to help charity, and he hopes to utilize more monies earned by his currency to realize his foodbank plans for his hometown of Birmingham. Mr Hassan recognizes that, despite his success, investing in cryptocurrency is not without risk. Cryptocurrencies are vulnerable to hacking, and Bitcoin prices dropped $5,000 (£3,690) in January as a result of comments from the US Federal Reserve. He has only experienced success thus far, reaching 20 with a net worth of about $8 million (£5.9 million). Mr Hassan
