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

Image
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

Image
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

Image
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

Birmingham's Self-Made Crypto-Millionaire Contributes To The Community

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

West Ham Have Condemned A Defender After Video Of Him Striking A Pet Cat Surfaced

Image
Kurt Zouma has been "unconditionally condemned" by West Ham United for kicking and slapping his cat in a video that has gone viral. Zouma, 27, is seen kicking the cat across the floor and smacking it in the face in the footage. He has apologized, and the club has stated that the situation will be handled internally. "I'd like to express my regret for my acts. In a statement, the centre-back stated, "There are no justifications for my behavior, which I profoundly regret." "I also want to express my heartfelt apologies to everyone who was offended by the video. I'd like to reassure everyone that our two cats are doing fine and are in good health. "Our entire family loves and cherishes them, and this was an isolated occurrence that will not happen again." Further footage, which was initially released by The Sun and is said to have been shot by Zouma's brother Yoan, shows the player tossing shoes at the animal and chasing it about the roo

After Demonstrators Surrounded Sir Keir Starmer, The Prime Minister Has No Intention Of Apologizing

Image
No. 10 has no intention of apologizing for Prime Minister's misleading assertion that Sir Keir Starmer failed to pursue Jimmy Savile after protestors targeted the Labour leader near Parliament. Tory MPs have renewed their calls for Boris Johnson to apologize after demonstrators were heard chanting about the sex offender as well as the Covid restrictions. Mr. Johnson did express his displeasure with the harassing. He described Sir Keir's behavior on Monday afternoon as "absolutely terrible" and "totally unacceptable" in a tweet. It is illogical to suggest that what happened on Monday was "Boris's responsibility and not the mob's fault," according to a No 10 source. However, at least six Conservative MPs afterwards linked the event to the PM's erroneous remark and asked that he apologize. Sir Keir was led into a police car on Victoria Embankment just after 17:00 GMT, close to Portcullis House, an office building used by MPs, according to

Long-Term Paracetamol Use Has Been Linked To An Increase In Blood Pressure

Image
According to a study, people with high blood pressure who take paracetamol on prescription may be increasing their risk of heart attacks and strokes. Doctors should consider the dangers and benefits of giving it to patients over a long period of time, according to University of Edinburgh experts. They emphasize that taking the painkiller for headaches and fevers is safe. Other experts believe that more people need to be studied over a longer period of time to corroborate the findings. Despite no evidence of its effectiveness for long-term usage, paracetamol is extensively used around the world as a short-term treatment for aches and pains and is also recommended to manage chronic pain. In Scotland, half a million people - one out of every ten - were given the painkiller. One in every three people in the United Kingdom suffers from high blood pressure. The study followed 110 participants, two-thirds of whom were on blood pressure medication, or hypertension. They were given 1g of parace

In The United States, There Is A Struggle Raging About Whether Or Not Books Should Be Banned In Classrooms

Image
Public school administrators and instructors across the United States are battling with issues relating to the types of books utilized in their classes and available in their libraries. A growing number of parents claim the content is vulgar or otherwise detrimental to their children. The attempt, according to free-speech campaigners, is modern-day censorship aimed at silencing the voices of the underprivileged and impoverished. It's causing a growing political schism that could spill over into forthcoming national elections. Yael Levin-Sheldon, a mother of two who lives in Richmond, Virginia, recently learned of a book brought into the classroom by a local teacher. She took down the title, The Black Friend: On Becoming a Better white Person. Levin claims that the title alone is racist, and that it is not the type of book that should be available to students in public schools. "Now imagine that as 'on becoming a better black person,'" she explained. "Would th

Truckers In Canada Are Protesting, And An Injunction Has Been Granted To Prevent Them From Blasting Their Horns.

Image
Truckers in Ottawa have been told to stop blasting their horns as part of a protest that has clogged the streets. The incessant blare of truck horns has become one of the defining characteristics of the anti-vaccine movement in Canada. However, Judge Hugh McLean has ordered that they remain silent for the next ten days. "Tooting a horn is hardly an expression of any significant idea that I'm aware of," Justice McLean said in a ruling presented to locals on Monday. The loud honking of 400 to 500 trucks had enraged residents and business owners in the area. The Freedom Convoy protest has extended to other cities and was organized in response to federal regulations requiring truckers to be vaccinated before crossing the US border. However, it is now opposed to a variety of laws; for example, in some regions of Canada, you must present proof of vaccination to attend indoor places such as restaurants, gyms, and bars. The majority of the protesters are nonviolent, but there hav
