I suggest that everyone who is an immigrant, or who has a parent or grandparent who is, downs tools for a week. Then we might begin to appreciate the part immigrants play in our lives. On release, they could be made to make their own way home and thus experience some of the trials of those they persecute.

In a long-running legal battle, the health facility continues to seek justice over the ‘drug bust’, in which customs officers conducted a raid of the clinic and seized the legal medical cannabis oil it was prescribing to patients. Since winning a judicial review in February 2021, the private clinic has been pursuing financial damages and the prosecution of those involved, which is still going through the legal process. Shortly after the ruling was delivered, Doctors Express contacted the ODPP about prosecuting a number of individuals found to have acted maliciously, according to the judge’s ruling. However, given the amount of evidence that was presented during the original case, the medical centre’s legal team applied for a judicial review of that decision, which is now going through the courts. “The advice and the instructions are the only contemporaneous materials apparently available that are likely to cast any light on the decision-making that occurred.

The prime minister said the combination of police deployment 'in numbers' and the criminal justice system 'working speedily' deterred the far right from staging rallies in towns and cities across England on Wednesday evening. Speaking to the press after a visit to a mosque and community centre in Solihull, Starmer said the measures and subsequent sentencing of offenders had 'sent a very powerful message', adding: 'But I also think that the work that's being done jointly to reassure our communities is becoming more effective'

Arsenal have reportedly submitted a £17million bid for Fenerbahce defender Ferdi Kadioglu. And despite already sealing the signing of Riccardo Calafiori this summer, Mikel Arteta appears intent on further bolstering his defensive options. But crucially, Kadioglu can also slot in as winger or midfielder, with his versatility long hailed by Fenerbahce fans. But if the words of former Arsenal full-back Lee Dixon on anything to go by, Arteta and co should consider a revised offer. Amid the signing of Calafiori, it appears unlikely Arteta can offer a regular place in the starting XI.

Seven years after leaving the White House, Michelle Obama (60) is opening up about her emotional transition, sharing how she found a sense of happiness and freedom. “We made the decision to stay in Washington, because the girls were in school and their lives were in DC,” Michelle said. Though she still had certain privileges, such as protection from the Secret Service, Michelle says she had to adapt to a new, more ordinary life, which she welcomed. “I had a front door that I could open where people would walk up to visit and ring the doorbell."

Britain's competition watchdog said on Thursday it had started an investigation into whether Amazon 's partnership with AI startup Anthropic raised competition, days after it began a similar probe on Alphabet 's collaboration with the startup. "Amazon's collaboration with Anthropic does not raise any competition concerns or meet the CMA 's own threshold for review," an Amazon spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "Amazon holds no board seat nor decision-making power at Anthropic, and Anthropic is free to work with any other provider (and indeed has multiple partners)," the spokesperson said, echoing comments from an Anthropic spokesperson. "Our strategic partnerships and investor relationships do not diminish our corporate governance independence or our freedom to partner with others," the Anthropic spokesperson said. "Late in July, CMA launched a probe into Google parent Alphabet's partnership with Anthropic, which was co-founded by former OpenAI executives and siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei.

New Zealand's prime minister appears to have taken a swipe at the intelligence of Australians in a joke during question time in parliament. Christopher Luxon said 'in my dealings with Australians it always pays to be incredibly simple'. The comment came in response to questioning from the Labour opposition leader, Chris Hipkins, over the government's use of the Maori language, known as te reo Maori. This week the broadcasters TVNZ revealed that the culture minister, Paul Goldsmith, had instructed officials to remove several te reo expressions from an invitation for Matariki, the annual celebrations of the Māori new year. The invitation was bound for Tony Burke, Australia’s minister for multicultural affairs

What connects a dad living in Lahore in Pakistan, an amateur hockey player from Nova Scotia - and a man named Kevin from Houston, Texas? This, combined with untrue claims the attacker was a Muslim from other sources, has been widely blamed for contributing to riots across the UK - some of which have targeted mosques and Muslim communities. What I found appears to be a commercial operation attempting to aggregate crime news while making money on social media. I did not find any evidence to substantiate claims that Channel3Now’s misinformation could be linked to the Russian state. The false article did not have a named byline, and it is unclear exactly who wrote it.

Such impressive numbers have been common at Donald Trump campaign events. Harris filled a 10,000-capacity arena last weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, her first major rally since becoming the Democratic presumptive nominee. Four days later Trump rallied at the same venue, with a similar-size crowd, and immediately attacked "Crazy Kamala" and her "lots of empty seats." "Now that Harris is speaking to large crowds that rival or exceed Trump's, this rationale for believing Trump is the advantaged candidate disappears," Burden added. But on Wednesday Harris took a page straight from Trump's campaign playbook, by rolling up to her own Detroit rally aboard Air Force Two, the vice-presidential jet.

The council has turned down an application by Sebastian’s in Windsor to make changes to its site that would allow it to expand. The Italian restaurant in Goswell Hill (arch 14a to 16a) sought to change the adjoining unit, classed as a hairdresser, into restaurant usage, so it can amalgamate with Sebastian’s. It is a listed building, so Sebastian’s had to seek listed building consent from the council to make the change. “This expansion of restaurant to adjacent unit will help ease the pressure as well as ensure that the business doesn’t lose prospective customers." "The proposal would fail to demonstrate that the proposal would not harm the historic fabric of the listed building.
