CARE homes can can impose 'no jab, no job' contracts on new staff, the Justice Secretary has confirmed. Robert Buckland said care homes must have "obvious rationale" to require employees to be vaccinated. He added that the Government would not be adopting a "blanket approach" to care homes imposing "no jabs, no jobs" policies. Speaking to the BBC , he said: "Future contracts and contracts of employment are indeed matters between employers and employees. "I think that where such conditions are imposed there needs to be a very clear rationale for them. "In a care home, a closed environment where there are vulnerable residents, I would argue there does seem to be an obvious rationale. "I think it will depend very much on each setting and the particular context. That is why I don't think it would be right to say there can be a blanket approach here because we need to go back to the fundamental fact that vaccines are not compulsory here in the UK. "There's a very … [Read more...] about Care homes CAN impose ‘no jab, no job’ work contracts on new staff, says Justice Secretary

GORDON Ramsay fans were left shocked at his X-rated lesbian sex joke on Bank Balance last night. In order to win £100,000 all the contestants have to do in the chef's new BBC game show is transfer gold blocks over to a board. Pretty easy right? Well the board is very unstable, making it ten times harder for the guests to successfully do it. Contestants Lindsey and Vicki - who have been together 17 years and own an online pet shop together - decided to take on the challenge so that they could put the money towards expanding their business. After a shaky start, the pair managed to answer a range of questions about topics such as classic pop, money, children's authors and ball sports. But when the topic of birds came up for the two to answer, Gordon couldn't help himself. He asked: "Have you ever eaten a bird?" The audience began to giggle and Vicki answered: "A long time ago!" Gordon began to list out a range of feathery friends that people like to enjoy … [Read more...] about Gordon Ramsay fans shocked at X-rated lesbian sex joke on new BBC Bank Balance show

It was a bright sunny day on the morning of Wednesday 21 September, 2016. Just like any other weekday morning, I woke up my two children, Helena and Daniel, who were seven and four at the time, and got them ready for school. My husband Berat cleared away breakfast, as I put on a beautiful dress for church on one of the last warm days before autumn. When I waved my children goodbye at the school gate, I felt a sense of pride. I had been a stay-at-home mum, and although my kids are everything to me, I was so happy they were now in school and enjoying it. At 36, I finally had the freedom to focus on getting back to college to study for my PGCE and qualify as a teacher . I hopped on my bike and headed to my church in Finsbury Park, north London, to catch the 10am service. I loved cycling – for the past 13 years I used to get around London on my bike, rain or shine. I weaved through the streets and came to some busy traffic lights. I could never have predicted what was about … [Read more...] about ‘I was on my bike when I heard a loud bang and my living nightmare began’

Walking into a busy bar in Benidorm, Gaynor Williams was instantly struck by the­ entertainer belting out Shakin’ Stevens hits. She got a nostalgic tingle from his voice… and the way he rocked This Ole House. As Gaynor found a seat and started humming along, the singer launched into Green Door. She was finally starting to relax after flying to Spain on a “Shirley Valentine” holiday after the end of a 16-year relationship. But when singer Gaynor caught the eye of the man on stage, she was transported back to 1986 – and the aptly-named Memories Bar in Chester. What is your view? Have your say in the comments section Because the Shaky tribute act was her teenage sweetheart, Dean Ryan. And, three decades after she first drove him crazy, the pair discovered they had a love worth waiting for. “I recognised Dean instantly,” says Gaynor, 50. “He had the same great voice and lovely warm smile. “Sure, he was a little greyer and had a few wrinkles but he still had the … [Read more...] about Teen sweethearts reunite 33 years on from split after chance Benidorm meeting
