Pay £120 to reduce quarantine to five
days: Travellers arriving in the UK
are told they can buy test and will
be free if they are negative in bid
to boost Britain's airline industry

UK arrivals can spend up to £120 on a private Covid test and slash their quarantine time to just five days under a new Government scheme. From December 15, the 'test to release' plan will allow arrivals from high-risk destinations to get a private coronavirus test after a five-day self-isolation period. If they test negative, they will be free to go about their normal lives more than a week earlier than the current 14-day system allows. Passengers will have to pay for a test from a government-approved private medical firm to avoid putting pressure on NHS resources.

A group of homeless families is suing the city over the de Blasio administration’s plan to install Wi-Fi in family homeless shelters across New York, arguing the plan won’t get students internet fast enough, the Daily News has learned. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Federal Court, calls for a judge to force the city to get Wi-Fi in all family shelters across the city no later than Jan. 4, 2021—the first day of school after winter break.

School books and exam papers could soon show girls dressing up as firefighters and boys watering plants after one of the country's largest education companies launched plans to tackle gender bias. Pearson, which owns the exam board Edexcel and produces resources for schools, today announced guidelines to 'flip' gender stereotypes and 'avoid unconscious bias.' The move, which was developed in close collaboration with The Fawcett Society, will show girls as firefighters, astronauts and mechanics and boys watering plants, baking cakes, playing in a pretend kitchen and performing in a dance competition.(Snip) It comes after research showed that experiences of early gender bias can have
Clueless Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday dismissed the fact that the city incredibly failed to pick up on Hasidic wedding attended by thousands amid COVID-19 this month—scoffing to a reporter, “It’s a big city.” De Blasio spouted the tone-deaf brush-off even after he acknowledged just how dangerous the Nov. 8 Brooklyn wedding was by announcing late Monday that the city would slap the involved synagogue with a $15,000 fine for breaking coronavirus safety regulations. In crowing about the fine, de Blasio told NY1 of the dangerous gathering, “That’s just not acceptable, I mean, we’ve been through so much.
New York City—After a string of subway pushes and attacks, the NYPD is sending dozens of police officers back into New York City's transit system.
According to the NYPD, 120 officers are being moved back to the transit beat after being moved in the summer to help cover protests across the city. The increase comes after three scary subway shovings in the past week alone.
The most frightening attack happened last week when a mother was randomly pushed in front of an oncoming train pulling into the Union Square station and thankfully survived to tell the tale. Just a day earlier,
Passengers will need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to fly with Australia's Qantas, the first major airline to suggest rules that could become common across the industry. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce yesterday said the Australian flag carrier would implement the measure once a coronavirus vaccine was made available to the public. He predicted the rule would become standard practice around the world as governments and airlines consider introducing electronic vaccination passports. Sewage testing on planes, monitoring ankle bracelets and DNA testing are also being considered to keep passengers safe. Joyce said: 'We are looking at changing our terms and conditions
Sen. Rand Paul revealed that Washington prosecutors declined his request for a probe of who funded the protesters that gathered outside the White House and attacked him, his wife and others as they left the event over the summer. In a tweet posted Monday, Paul (R-Ky.) wrote, “The DC U.S. Attorney today confirmed to me that they will not pursue an investigation of who is funding the thugs who attacked my wife and me and sent a DC police officer to the hospital.” The Kentucky senator, along with scores of other GOP lawmakers and other guests, were attacked following the second night of
David Dinkins, who was elected New York City’s first black mayor in 1989 and famously referred to the nation’s largest metropolis as a “gorgeous mosaic,” died Monday night, sources told The Post. The former mayor passed away due to natural causes at his Upper East Side home at around 9:30 p.m. He was 93 years old. A home health aide had discovered Dinkins was not breathing and called 911, sources said. His death comes a little over a month after his wife, Joyce, died at their home. She was 89. Dinkins—who defeated three-term incumbent Ed Koch in the 1989 Democratic
A Joe Biden administration will include Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to various reports. If true, that means goodbye America First global diplomacy; hello social justice. It also means a return to Barack Obama days when America was bowing to foreign heads of states, expressing disgust with the concept of American Exceptionalism and practically begging, practically please, please, pretty please begging other nations not to, say, kidnap our sailors and splash their frightened kidnapped faces on billboards for all the haters of America to see.(Snip) Thomas-Greenfield is a longtime political player who worked for roughly four years
Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis declared in an article in Foreign Affairs on Monday that the “America First” foreign policy had damaged national security, and called on Joe Biden to “eliminate ‘America first'” from U.S. strategy.
Mattis resigned in December 2018, citing policy disagreements with the president, who had just ordered a troop drawdown in Syria. In his resignation letter, Mattis said that the U.S. needed to do more to show “respect” to American allies.(Snip)
In his new article, however, Mattis says the opposite, calling for the “end of America First”: The United States today is undermining the foundations of an international order

Tens of millions of pounds of our cash is being ploughed into China's vast economy every year–on schemes including opera and rice production. In an unprecedented audit, the Mail has uncovered £81million in aid sent to the world's second largest economy. It exposes how the UK taxpayer is boosting China's prosperity despite the British Government being at loggerheads with Xi Jinping's regime over Beijing's approach to Hong Kong, human rights violations against Uighur Muslims and the controversy surrounding telecoms giant Huawei. In the first day of its investigation into public sector expenditure yesterday, the Mail revealed how £5.6billion is wasted.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was called “a d–k” by foul-mouthed maskless hecklers who interrupted him having dinner with his family, according to a viral video. “Oh my God, Murphy, you are such a d–k,” a woman could be heard telling the governor in the video seen more than 1.2 million times since it was posted by Breaking 911 on Sunday night. Another woman heckled the politician as he dined outside with wife Tammy and their four children at the Red Bank eatery. “You’re having fun with your family. In the meantime, you’re having all kind of bulls–t going on?”

Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein has called out 21 Republican senators who he says have expressed 'extreme contempt' for President Trump in private - but have refused to air their grievances in public.Bernstein accused the senators - including the likes of Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, Chuck Grassley and Susan Collins - of a 'craven silence' that has 'enabled Trump's most grievous conduct'.That includes 'undermining and discrediting the US electoral system' Bernstein said, taking aim at Trump's refusal to concede to Joe Biden while claiming 'massive fraud' - a claim that his legal team has failed to substantiate in court.
Barack Obama just revealed a surprising goal Michelle Obama had when she was FLOTUS .In his new book, The Promised Land, the former president explains how he was once going to the beach with their daughter Sasha and Michelle refused to go. He said that she vowed, as first lady, to never be captured on film in a bathing suit. Obama confirmed this in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.He said: She was serious. ‘This is one of my main goals as first lady. I will not be photographed by the paparazzi in a bathing suit.’ And she succeeded. During

You probably already know that Trump’s legal team announced that Sidney Powell is not a team member. The brief statement leaves unanswered the most important question: “Why?” Absent solid information, speculation leads us either to “This is the beginning of the end” or “This is all part of the plan” – and I’m leaning to the latter. (snip) If Powell represents the campaign, the government regulates individual donations. If she’s apart from the campaign, things are less constrained.
Lin Wood also chimed in, assuring people Powell is still in the game:

Is America Doomed to Split Apart?

Is anyone else too old to start living on his knees? See, submission is not in the cards. The question is whether preserving our freedom means dissolving the Union. And though our alleged betters tell us we are not allowed to think about that horrible prospect, it’s the ruling caste itself that raised the question.
When you get a vile clown like Chuck Schumer promising to “change America” if he steals another Georgia election in the coming run-off, it only reaffirms that we don’t want to “change America” – at least not into the Venezuela-lite he and his coterie of neo-Marxist bother-wedders, fake Indians, and buck-tooth morons want.
Joe Biden will nominate former secretary of state John Kerry for climate czar in his presidential cabinet, the Biden-Harris transition team announced on Monday.
If approved by the Senate, Kerry would fill the post of “Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.” The position would be the first post in a presidential national security cabinet to deal with climate change. “America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is,” Kerry wrote in a Twitter post. “I’m proud to partner with the President-elect, our allies, and the young leaders of the climate movement
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown wants residents to call the police on their neighbors over violations of the state’s latest coronavirus shutdown, which includes a six-person limit on in-home gatherings.
The temporary “freeze,” which went into effect Wednesday, restricts indoor at-home and social gatherings to six people from no more than two households, with no exceptions for Thanksgiving dinner get-togethers.
In a Friday virtual interview with KGW-TV, Ms. Brown agreed that Oregonians should contact authorities if they see their neighbors hosting more than six people.
What was Joe Biden thinking for his choice of climate-change ambassador extraordinaire? John Kerry is one of the biggest gasbags in American politics, singlehandedly responsible for massive amounts of terrible emissions.

Former President Barack Obama continues to be the very embodiment of the Democratic leadership and project his own failings and political venom on President Donald Trump and his supporters. He demonstrated as much in a recent “60 Minutes” interview that focussed on his latest memoir, and was laced with bitterness for the Trump phenomenon. He is as adamant as ever to insist Americans reside with him in “Barack’s World,” a sort of alternate universe where Obama’s version of the truth is the only one that really matters. Sure, there might be competing versions of that reality, but can you really trust them when you know the source
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) told MSNBC on Monday she believes a Joe Biden administration should open an investigation into President Trump once he leaves office.
"Do you support possibly investigating Donald Trump, his administration, after he leaves office on January 20th? President-Elect Joe Biden’s chief of staff has said over the weekend the administration would basically allow, and I’m reading here, the attorney general to make a determination. But we know privately, Joe Biden said he kind of wants to move on from this," host Yasmin Vossoughian said.
Trump’s legal team has ditched Sidney Powell, who has played a starring role in Trump’s post-election effort by broadcasting lunatic conspiracy theories. Apparently the fact that Powell has shared none of her alleged evidence with anyone in Trump’s orbit finally made Trump’s attorneys doubt the promised emergence of a Kraken, even though they brought her to spout her poisonous absurdities at the RNC press conference last week.
Powell has been interviewed by a bunch of high-profile right-wing media figures over the last two weeks, all of whom credited her. Do any of them mind that she evidently misled them? If so, it’d be good to hear it.
