Boris Johnson faces a battle with his cabinet and MPs as parliament returns on Monday, with the prime minister poised to break manifesto commitments on tax and pensions while plotting a delicate reshuffle. Plans to raise national insurance contributions to increase funding for the NHS and to overhaul social care have been privately criticised by cabinet ministers – and MPs have told the chief whip they could oppose the measures in the Commons. Johnson, along with the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, and the health secretary, Sajid Javid, will announce a three-year funding settlement for the NHS from next April, as well…

A World Cup qualifier between Argentina and Brazil was abandoned amid farcical, confused scenes after four Premier League players apparently violated Brazilian regulations designed to contain a Covid outbreak that has killed more than 580,000 Brazilians. The Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and Tottenham’s Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso were all on the pitch at São Paulo’s Neo Química Arena on Sunday afternoon when federal police and officials from Brazil’s health agency, Anvisa, took to the field to halt play after just seven minutes. The three players and Aston Villa’s Emiliano Buendía, who was in the stands, had reportedly somehow sidestepped…

Chinese authorities have pressured and silenced citizens whose families died after getting vaccinated against COVID-19, according to sources inside China. At least two who received Chinese-made vaccines died after taking the shots—one in just two days—in Chongqing city, Sichuan Province, over the past two months. Authorities have since monitored their close contacts and accused one outspoken family of leaking “state secrets.” Footage from an on-site surveillance camera showed Chinese citizen Cai Hua fainting 10 minutes after taking a vaccine at the community health service center on July 13. She passed away three weeks later, according to her sister, Cai Bangying. The latter told…

A hospital system in Oklahoma responded to a Rolling Stone article that claimed hospital emergency rooms in Oklahoma were turning away gunshot victims due to ivermectin overdose patients, saying that it has not treated patients due to complications from taking the drug. Rolling Stone on Sunday issued an update to its article, which included the statement from a local hospital denying the claims. The report sourced a local KFOR article that itself cited Oklahoma ER doctor Dr. Jason McElyea who claimed that people overdosing on farm-grade ivermectin are causing emergency rooms to be “so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting” inside…

While there is technically no federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the United States, widespread vaccine mandates among public and private institutions have formed a “de facto…nationwide mandate” that is “creating a two-tier society” in which the unvaccinated are systematically ostracized, warns economist and author Jim Rickards. “Whether you had [COVID-19] or not, need [the vaccine] or not, young or not, vulnerable or not, you have to take it, or you’re going to be pushed to the margins of society,” Rickards, author of “The New Great Depression: Winners and Losers in a Post-Pandemic World,” told The Epoch Times. In addition to government institutions…

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has imposed a record 225-million-euro ($266 million) fine on WhatsApp Ireland for infringements of data protection rules on Sept. 2. It follows an inquiry into the messaging app’s transparency around sharing personal data with other Facebook companies. The sanction on the messaging service, which is owned by Facebook, is the largest fine ever imposed by the DPC and the second largest penalty ever levied on an organisation under EU data laws. Ireland’s DPC, which is the lead data privacy regulator for Facebook within the European Union, said the issues related to whether WhatsApp conformed in 2018 with EU data rules about transparency and…

The Australian state government of South Australia is rolling out a new quarantine app that requires users to use geolocation and live face recognition check-ins. Known as “Quarantine SA,” the mobile app tracks users’ location at each random check-in request to make sure they are at an approved address. The app is supported by the state’s health and police departments. Several live face recognition and geolocation check-ins are done on a randomised schedule at various intervals throughout the day to confirm the individual is at an approved address and complying with home quarantine mandates. Users have just 15 minutes to respond to the random check in…

Manchester United have confirmed returning signing Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the No 7 shirt. The Portuguese forward wore the iconic digit during his first spell at Old Trafford, becoming tied to the figure. Striker Edinson Cavani has offered to vacate the shirt number, and will now wear 21 on the back of his shirt, the same as he uses for Uruguay. Cavani was in the No 7 when he came off the bench in the 1-0 win over Wolves at the weekend. Premier League rules stipulate any mid-season change of number requires the club to provide replacements to any fans…

California officials have agreed to pay $800,000 in prevailing-party attorneys’ fees to a popular Christian megachurch in Los Angeles after state and federal courts in California issued permanent injunctions barring government officials there from ever again imposing discriminatory restrictions on houses of worship. In the United States, unsuccessful litigants only rarely have to pay their opponents’ legal fees, even when their cases are weak. Although it’s common in other parts of the Anglosphere such as the United Kingdom and Canada for the unsuccessful party in civil litigation to be required to pay the legal costs of the successful litigant, it’s “very rare” for…

New England Patriots’ decision to cut veteran NFL quarterback Cam Newton had nothing to do with his COVID-19 vaccination status, the team’s head coach said. Bill Belichick told reporters during a press briefing on Wednesday there are “a lot of factors” involved in the release of Newton, who had previously declined to confirm whether he has been vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, saying the issue is too personal to discuss. “No. You guys keep talking about that … the number of players and coaches and staff members that have been infected by COVID in this training camp [around the NFL] who have been…
