MEMBERS of the European Parliament were infuriated when they were told by the European Council all their demands on vaccine certificates had been dismissed. In the latest showcase of Brussels’ institutional disfunction, the EU Council and Parliament clash over the introduction of so-called “digital green certificates” to allow Europeans to travel this summer. Negotiations between the two EU institutions are set to continue but the Council has already dismissed MEPs’ proposals on the plan. Parliament members believe the travel passes should allow people to move around the bloc without further hurdles such as quarantines and should complement affordable COVID tests for those…

A candidate for the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial race, Kandiss Taylor, called for a full, complete forensic audit of the 2020 general election in Fulton County and Chatham county, following the ongoing forensic audit in Maricopa, Arizona. “We, The People, of Georgia demand a forensic audit of Fulton and Chatham County due to the concern over multiple issues. This is the will of the people,” Taylor said in a statement released on Monday. “If the election was fair and legal, a forensic audit will prove that to be the case, but I saw too much evidence myself during the Georgia Senate hearing back in December to…

NICOLA Sturgeon has removed two of her most dedicated and loyal Ministers as she undertakes a reshuffle of her Scottish Cabinet today. Economy Secretary Fiona Hyslop and Rural Affairs Secretary Fergus Ewing who played a big role during the Brexit process will not be included in the Scottish First Minister’s new Government today. Ms Hyslop and Mr Ewing initially joined the cabinet under previous First Minister Alex Salmond in 2007 and have subsequently been MSPs since the start of devolution in 1999. Both former Ministers will remain as SNP MSPs in the Scottish Parliament for the next Holyrood term until 2026.…

British online fashion retailer Boohoo (BOOH.L) has bowed to pressure from lawmakers to link multimillion pound bonuses for its executives to improvements in its supply chain, including workers’ rights. In September, Boohoo accepted the recommendations of an independent review which found major failings in its supply chain in England after newspaper allegations about working conditions and low pay, and set out steps to tackle the issues. Boohoo, which sells clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty products targeted at 16- to 40-year-olds, has also faced investor criticism over a bonus scheme which would pay up to 150 million pounds ($213 million) to its founders…

British house prices rose at the fastest annual rate in nearly 14 years in March when finance minister Rishi Sunak announced the extension of pandemic emergency tax cut and other support for home-buyers, official data showed on Wednesday. House prices jumped by 10.2% from March, the strongest annual increase since August 2007, the Office for National Statistics said. Other surveys have also shown the tax cut and a mortgage guarantee scheme for first-time buyers further stoked a sharp surge in activity in the housing market which began after the first coronavirus pandemic was lifted last year. Many Britons have sought…

A point was ultimately enough for Manchester United to seal second place and their fans returned to Old Trafford: two pleasing headlines for those of a red persuasion on a warm May evening that had 10,000 of the faithful witnessing Edinson Cavani in the flesh for the first time as those discontented with the Glazers’ ownership kept protests low-key. “The buzz, energy, atmosphere was magic really,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjær. “You felt it in the warm-up – and that’s been missing – maybe that was part of the reason why we played the way we did: too much to entertain.” Cavani was…

DOMINIC CUMMINGS is threatening to release a crucial document on Boris Johnson’s decision-making process during the pandemic. In a tweet today, the former adviser to the Prime Minister warned he will release the “crucial” document to the Commons committee ahead of his appearance on Wednesday but also his blog or convert it to cryptocurrency and donate the proceeds to charities. He said: “I’ve got the only copy of a crucial historical document from covid decision-making. “Should I 1/ give it to the Cmte next week / put on blog, b/ auction it as an Ethereum NFT & give the ETH…

A group of 19 Republican senators introduced a resolution on Monday to reaffirm the United States’ support for Israel and its right to defend itself against terrorist attacks, amid ongoing rocket attacks from Hamas that shows few signs of abating. The resolution (pdf), led by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), also condemns the current attacks against Israel by Hamas, an Iran-backed and funded terrorist organization that seized power of Gaza in 2007. The resolution is set to be introduced in Congress this week. In the resolution, the U.S. Senate “opposes the escalating and indiscriminate rocket attacks by Hamas against Israel” and “mourns the loss of innocent life…

Britain’s unemployment rate fell again to 4.8% between January and March, when the country was under a tight lockdown, and hiring rose further in April, according to data that showed employers gearing up for the easing of curbs. Economists polled by Reuters had expected the rate to hold at 4.9%, and the reading added to signs that the labour market will escape the severe hit feared at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, thanks mostly to government jobs subsidies. Some of the fall in the unemployment rate – the third in a row – was due to a rise in…

Thomas Tuchel heightened the stakes before Chelsea’s crucial home game against Leicester, putting aside his disappointment about losing the FA Cup final to Brendan Rodgers’s side and insisting that qualifying for the Champions League has always been his biggest priority. Chelsea are a point above Liverpool in fifth place with two games left and another stumble could see them drop out of the top four. That would leave their hopes of making the Champions League reliant on winning the competition by defeating Manchester City in the final on 29 May and Tuchel is desperate to avoid that scenario, even though he was…
