After Mayor Bill de Blasio’s announcement of a vaccine mandate for city workers, police union heads say they will take legal actions to oppose the mandate and protect the rights of their employees. On Wednesday, de Blasio said any city worker who is not vaccinated with at least the first dose of the vaccine by 5 p.m. on Oct. 29 will be put on unpaid leave, prompting police unions to fight back. Police Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch said in a statement Thursday that his organization will go to court to protect his employees’ right to make their own medical decisions.…

Boris Johnson is prepared to water down UK demands for European judges’ role in post-Brexit Northern Ireland to be scrapped, in order to seal a deal with the EU. The Prime Minister has made the arbitration role of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) the new battlefront in the row with Brussels over the Northern Ireland Protocol. He and Brexit Minister Lord Frost have argued that one side’s internal court should not be able to rule on disputed in which it is involved, despite signing up to the plan last year. However, Mr Johnson is prepared to agree to a plan that would see a…

Several suburban Chicago sheriffs announced they will not send deputies to Chicago to deal with possible staffing shortages over vaccine mandates. Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain, a Democrat, told The Chicago Tribune that he doesn’t “feel like the onus is on us to go in there in an emergency situation that was created by poor government and a lack of support the officers receive.” A statewide law enforcement coalition sent a notice, known as the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS), to its members, encompassing a number of different statewide law enforcement agencies, said ILEAS Executive Director James Page in an interview…

The Belgian Manchester City fan, Guido De Pauw, who was attacked after the club’s 5-1 win over Club Brugge on Tuesday, remains in a coma but is now stable.

Minister are being urged to pause their education funding reforms after it emerged they have resulted in less money for the most deprived schools and more for the better off, according to a parliamentary report. The redistribution follows the introduction of the government’s national funding formula in 2018-19 to make the funding of England’s schools more fair and transparent. According to the Commons public accounts committee (PAC), however, the changes – which are not yet complete – have resulted in a 1.2% drop in real terms per-pupil funding in the most deprived fifth of schools and a 2.9% increase for…

Royal doctors sent the monarch to be seen by specialists in London on Wednesday afternoon after she was forced to cancel a royal tour. Buckingham Palace said she was in “good spirits” following preliminary investigations during her visit to hospital.

President Joe Biden’s federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates are unconstitutional and the mandates and other actions by his administration are triggering strong challenges, legal and otherwise, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said. Biden last month imposed a vaccine mandate on federal workers and contractors, with limited exceptions, and his administration plans to force private businesses to compel vaccination or require weekly COVID-19 testing. Many Republicans oppose the mandates, including Biggs, who noted on NTD’s “Capitol Report” this week that a flurry of lawsuits have been filed challenging them or are being prepared when the private business rule is ultimately released to the public. He also highlighted how some businesses appear to be impacted by…

Another act of escapology, more questions of Manchester United’s identity. A Cristiano Ronaldo winner on Wednesday night to complete a 3-2 comeback against Atalanta in the classic style to the sound of fans exalting their manager. These are the things the Theatre of Dreams was made of. But there comes a time when a plot twist becomes so habitual as to become pulp fiction, particularly when preceded by the turgid sludge served by United in the first half. Are late winners against Atalanta and Villarreal, fun as they might be, anything but an imitation of the grander deeds of the 1990s and 2000s,…

Over 12,000 active-duty Air Force personnel are poised not meet an upcoming deadline to be fully vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19, according to newly released data from the military branch. In a new update on compliance with the Air Force’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, officials said 3.8 percent of the force remains unvaccinated as of Oct. 18.

Fully vaccinated means an airman must get the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna jab, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson…
