More info The former leader of the Conservative Party recently co-authored a report for the Centre for Brexit Policy, which argued that the establishment is holding the country back from unlocking its true potential. Instead of viewing the UK as a declining international force, the report argues Brexit gives Britain the chance to become a dominant global power now it is free from the EU’s shackles.

Fernando Torres posts amazing throwback picture on eve of last ever game for the ex-Liverpool and Chelsea star
FERNANDO TORRES shared a brilliant throwback photo on the eve of his final professional appearance. The striker, 35, will play one last time tomorrow before hanging up his boots for good. From the start to the end, getting the most out of every single moment. @saganofficial17 @Atleti pic.twitter.com/1IdQDCDIeK — Fernando Torres (@Torres) August 22, 2019 His Sagan Tosu side take on Vissel Kobe in their J1 League clash, which is an important game with both sides at serious risk of relegation. In a bizarre twist of fate, Torres will go up against two of his long-term international team-mates with Andres Iniesta and David Villa set to play for Kobe, who also have Thomas Vermaelen and Lukas Podolski in their squad. The trio helped Spain win Euro 2008 - their first major trophy for 44 years - and then the World Cup in 2010. Torres and Iniesta were both part of the Euro 2012 squad, too, with the striker bagging in successive European Championships finals.

Will Theresa May still be prime minister when Donald Trump visits the U.K?
The political chaos of Brexit is threatening to bring down British Prime Minister Theresa May , a matter of days before she is due to host President Donald Trump on his controversial first visit to the U.K. The sudden resignation of Brexit Minister David Davis over May's roadmap for leaving the European Union left the prime minister facing attacks from both inside and outside her Conservative Party. Trump's visit already threatens to embarrass May as Trump is kept away from massive protests, forcing the president to spend most of his time outside London . But with the latest cabinet emergency, it is possible May will not even be prime minister when the unpopular president arrives. The resignation of the Brexit minister threatens to open a chasm in May's Conservative—or Tory—government, with moderates calling for a "soft" Brexit on one side and extremists lobbying for a "hard" Brexit on the other. The split between the two camps has been evident since May replaced David … [Read more...] about Will Theresa May still be prime minister when Donald Trump visits the U.K?
Zu viele Piloten: Hunderte Jobs bei Ryanair in Gefahr
Bei Ryanair könnten laut dem Geschäftsführer Michael O'Leary Hunderte Stellen gestrichen werden. Insgesamt benötigt Europas größte Billigfluggesellschaft bis Sommer nächsten Jahres 1.500 Piloten und Flugbegleiter weniger als geplant. "Wir haben schon jetzt über 500 Piloten und etwa 400 Flugbegleiter zu viel, da seit Januar dieses Jahres niemand mehr gekündigt hat", so Ryanair-Geschäftsführer Michael O'Leary. "Dazu kommt, dass ein No-Deal-Brexit in nur zwölf Wochen immer wahrscheinlicher wird. Wir befürchten, dass uns das schaden wird - vor allem an unseren britischen und einigen unserer irischen Standorte." Die Fluggesellschaft meldete einen Rückgang der Gewinne um 21 Prozent in den Monaten April bis Juni. Der Durchschnittspreis für ein Flugticket war unter anderem wegen Konkurrenzdrucks um sechs Prozent gesunken. Der umstrittene Ryanair-Chef O'Leary machte auch die gestoppte Auslieferung des Boeing-Fliegers 737 Max für den Stellenabbau verantwortlich. … [Read more...] about Zu viele Piloten: Hunderte Jobs bei Ryanair in Gefahr
With the Tories in turmoil, steel helps Boris Johnson show his mettle
Boris Johnson’s move to extend tariffs on imported steel by two years — a probable breach of World Trade Organisation rules — was welcomed by protectionist MPs from both sides of the political aisle. Industry also predictably lauded the decision, saying it will be protected from artificially cheap imports. Much like fishing, steel carries with it a disproportionate amount of political focus compared to its size — in 2020 the £2bn it contributed to the economy was the equivalent of just 0.1pc of total economic output and 1.2pc of manufacturing. But as the industry likes to point out: everything is made of steel. The metal goes into cars, aircraft, new buildings and the machinery that forms almost everything else. Without it, steel insiders say the logic of having a manufacturing industry in the UK would be considerably weaker — a fact that will not be lost on the Prime Minister. The move was pegged as an effort to “protect the steel sector”, Trade Secretary Anne-Marie … [Read more...] about With the Tories in turmoil, steel helps Boris Johnson show his mettle
Mum who bagged £210 Michael Kors bag for just £17 explains how you can do it too
Designer bags don't come cheap - but one mum has revealed how she managed to pick up a £210 investment for just £17, and she says it's not uncommon, either. Mum-of-four Jay Cook couldn't believe her eyes when she spotted a 91% saving on a Michael Kors bag in her local TK Maxx store in Wales earlier this month. While the high street chain is renowned for its designer finds, the discount was far more than the usual 20-40% reduction often found on out-of-season stock. Jay, 36, was shopping in the TK Maxx clearance sale in Carmarthen when she spotted the gorgeous leather bag for just £17, reduced from £210. She noticed it on a trip to find some trainers for her eldest son who starts back at school next week. The delighted mum snapped it up instantly and went on to post her amazing find on the Latest Deals Facebook page, which soon garnered over 100 likes. One designer fan wrote: "Well done! I have a Burberry one like this, it's such a handy bag. I'm a bit jealous that you … [Read more...] about Mum who bagged £210 Michael Kors bag for just £17 explains how you can do it too

Max Verstappen lets his driving do the talking in Canada
Max Verstappen delivered a strong response to his recent critics by completing a practice double for the Canadian Grand Prix . Verstappen’s crash last time out in Monaco marked his fifth big mistake from six rounds, and he arrived in North America threatening to “headbutt someone” following a series of questions about his accident-prone campaign. But the 20-year-old Dutchman topped the time sheets in both sessions in his Red Bull at a sun-drenched Circuit Gilles Villeneuve as he allowed his driving to do the talking. Recommended Defined by unfulfilled promises, Alonso now stands at a crossroads Verstappen finished 0.130 seconds clear of Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen with championship leader Lewis Hamilton half-a-second off the pace.

Prisoners being trained up as football referees to help stop cons re-offending
Prisoners are being trained up as football referees with eleven cons passing the FA’s Level 7 course in the past year, which allows them to take charge in junior amateur leagues, with Level 1 officials in control of Premier League games. A report by inspectors from the Independent Monitoring Board revealed details of the course in a new report. The scheme, which normally costs £135, states that it equips participants with the "skills and knowledge" to referee. The lags must complete five modules, including watching videos of matches, and learn the rules of the beautiful game. The criminals, at HMP Highpoint, a 1,300-capacity jail in Suffolk, also discovered how to “built a rapport” with players and coaches.
