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?

These are the best photos from every year of Prince Harry’s life
What a year it's been for Prince Harry. In May, he finally married Meghan Markle, and the world seems more obsessed with him than ever before. Since his big day, we've watched him attend Royal Ascot, speculated over his views on Donald Trump and guessed where the couple will go on their honeymoon. Luckily, Harry is used to life under the microscope. Ever since he was born in 1984, he and his brother William have drawn the interest of the public around the world. We got to know him through his mother's then-unheard of desire to give her sons a full range of experiences outside the royal bubble. As children, the boys were photographed at Disney World and homeless shelters alike, as part of Diana's attempt to expose them to the real world. Even after Diana's death in 1997, Harry was just as curious about exploring the world. After he finished school, he took a gap year in Australia, working as his father had done at a cattle station. He also worked with orphaned children in Lesotho. … [Read more...] about These are the best photos from every year of Prince Harry’s life

Douglas Brinkley: Let us celebrate patriots who put country over party
By U.S. presidential historian and author Douglas Brinkley: With Independence Day upon us, let's celebrate an underappreciated type of American archetype: the hyperpartisan defender of democracy. That is, politicians who put country over party in times of crisis. Charles Thomson was the Secretary of the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1789. Along with John Hancock, his was one of only two names to appear in the original printing of the Declaration of Independence. Thomson wrongly thought that the new country couldn't survive a two-party system, that polarization would reign supreme, and that the new nation would inevitably devolve into two mobs vying for power every four years. Thomson didn't know then that the federal government could produce incorruptible leaders such as Cassidy Hutchinson and Liz Cheney. They're truth-tellers in the Margaret Chase Smith tradition. Former aide Cassidy Hutchinson testifies on Jan. 6 warnings, pardon requests, and Trump trying to grab … [Read more...] about Douglas Brinkley: Let us celebrate patriots who put country over party

Sexy model Keeley Hazell wore stunning low cut top at 2006 British Grand Prix
Keeley Hazell once wore a skimpy top during the British Grand Prix in 2006. At Silverstone, the model was seen wearing a black top that showed off most of her abdomen. It was Fernando Alonso of Renault that came up trumps during the race, earning ten points with Michael Schumacher of Ferrari coming in second. Brit David Coulthard came in 11th spot - while Jenson Button came a lowly 19th. The model came into the spotlight on our pages earlier this year after it emerged that she once shared a picture of her boobs with the England national side, in a bid to wish them good luck ahead of the Euro 2020 final last summer.

Scottish independence: Greens back general election route to indyref2
Published 1 hour ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The Scottish Greens said there would be no alterative to a single issue general election on independence if formal consent for indyref2 is not granted.

It comes after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon last week proposed holding a referendum on 19 October 2023. The UK government said it would examine the first minister's proposals, but stressed that its position that "now is not the time" for another referendum had not changed. It has also said that it is "clear" that the constitution is reserved to Westminster.

Chris Wallace confronts Apple CEO Tim Cook on removing Parler app, “restricting free speech”
Apple CEO Tim Cook does not consider banning Parler from the App Store to be a threat to free speech. In an interview Sunday with host Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday , Cook defended the tech giant's decision to remove the app after the platform was used to publicly plan and execute riots at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6 that endangered the lives of legislators and law enforcement. Five people died in the violence. "We don't consider that free speech and incitement to violence has an intersection," Cook said. After the insurrection, Apple , along with Amazon Web Services and Google Play, made the move to ban Parler, an increasingly popular social media platform among conservatives. The app was number one in the App Store, above Facebook and Twitter , earlier this month. Parler has positioned itself as a free-speech alternative to Twitter , though it has removed some content, such as a January 7 post by pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood reading, "Get the … [Read more...] about Chris Wallace confronts Apple CEO Tim Cook on removing Parler app, “restricting free speech”
