[Former Health Minister wants to participate in the British reality show]
Recently, former British Health Minister Matt Hancock was exposed to participate in the British reality show.
Previously, the former Health Secretary took office in 2018 and joined hands with Boris to fight the new crown epidemic. He has always been an outstanding figure in the party.
But in June last year, Hancock resigned because he cheated on his then assistant Gina Coladangelo and revealed intimate photos. After resigning, he also held certain positions in the Conservative Party.
But now, I have made a decision to participate in the British reality show "I am a celebrity... Take me out of here!" (I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!)
The content of this show is about 12 celebrities living together in the forest for three weeks. The first season began broadcasting in August 2002. The program was originally produced and broadcasted by independent TV stations, and has since been produced and broadcasted in the United States, Germany, France, Hungary, Swedish , Netherlands , Denmark, Romanian , Australia, and India.
and Matt Hancock will be one of the 12 celebrities currently exploring the Australian jungle. As soon as the
message came out, it attracted condemnation from many parties.
A spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said:
MPs should work hard for voters in a challenging and challenging time of the country. Now it is unlikely to see Hancock take any action.
Conservative Party Chief Whip Simon Hart directly announced:
has temporarily canceled Hancock's status as a Conservative Party MP!
In this way, although Hancock can continue to serve as a member of West Suffolk, he can only participate in parliamentary discussions as an independent member.
He will continue to retain his Conservative Party membership, but in the future, he will not be able to participate in future MP elections as a Conservative candidate.
Public relations expert Mark Borkowski speculates that Hancock can get a reward of about 350,000 pounds when participating in this program. This is a considerable fee. He either desires popularity or wants to make money.
In response to this, sources pointed out: After the scandal was exposed, Hancock had actually given up the idea of holding an important position, so it was not surprising that this choice was made. Rather than doing this, it’s better to use your popularity to record a reality show.
However, the Taxpayers Alliance believes that since Hancock cannot do things for voters, he should not pay the salary he pays for the taxpayer's money. This kind of evasion of responsibility is shameful.
【Sunak stays in the Prime Minister’s Office】
Yesterday, Rishi Sunak began his first full week as Prime Minister.
The couple, who are worth 730 million pounds, walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion Nova, with their pet dog Nova.
and take a photo with volunteers from the Royal Legion at the gate of 10 Downing Street.
It is reported that the dog came to Sunak's home in July last year, at 8 weeks old.
Although, as the Prime Minister, he will be staying at No. 10 Downing Street, it is reported that Sunak will still allocate time between this official residence and his western London residence, because his own home is closer to the private school where his daughters have an annual tuition fee of 22,000 pounds .
It is worth mentioning that Sunak's billionaire wife Murthy has often appeared in affordable brands in recent times, rather than the previous rich outfit.
In the photos taken by the media, she is wearing a 50 pound HM top and 42 White Company faux fur slippers.
You know, the Murthy family has huge wealth:
- tech company Infosys The combined equity value of 1.7 billion pounds
- and joint venture in India, creating 900 million pounds worth
- holds equity of
- , which operates in India Jamie's Italian restaurant and burger chain Wendy's equity of
- , and is Digme Fitness Director
- House owned Investment company Catamaran Ventures
- Murthy runs a fashion brand Akshata Designs
This couple is definitely the richest person in British history who can live in No. 10 Downing Street.
[Increase taxes and fill the deficit]
Today, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak convened a cabinet meeting: aimed at preparing for Britain's years of high tax and austerity policies to fill the government's 50 billion pounds deficit.
It is reported that the budget will cut public spending in the near future and balance accounts. Sunak and the cabinet members made a careful assessment.
Media speculated that public sector staff may face a 2% salary increase cap next year, well below the expected inflation rate of 9.5%. This will mean actual salary cuts for teachers, soldiers, police and nurses. You know, this year, a 5% pay raise has triggered a threat of a general public sector strike because the rate of pay raise is lower than inflation. If the limit is 2% next year, a new round of strike is expected.
At the same time, given the previous Conservative Party’s commitment, VAT, national insurance and income tax hikes are all considered impossible, and adding fuel tax in the cost of living crisis may be considered too risky and is unlikely to be possible.
In response to this, a source from the Ministry of Finance pointed out:
This will be difficult. The truth is that if we are going to maintain public services, everyone will have to pay more taxes. The epidemic has caused the UK's fiscal deficit to grow, and we cannot fill the black hole just by cutting spending. However, Sunak and Hunt remain committed to protecting vulnerable groups in society during difficult times in the future. At previous meetings, we concluded that tax revenue should be increased in an all-round way.
[A new wave of COVID-19 is coming in January]
University College London predicts: The epidemic reaches a small peak at the end of October and then declines. The next peak of COVID-19 will not arrive until after Christmas, and will have more infections than before.
Within a week ending October 17, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that
About 1 in every 30 people in the UK were infected with the new crown. Among them, the infection rates of Welsh , Scottish and Northern Ireland are declining - about 1 in every 35 people are infected.
In this regard, expert Friston said:
Generally speaking, people gather during Christmas, and most of them gather indoors with family and friends. When they meet people they have not seen for a long time, the probability of natural contact and infection will be higher. Two sub-variants of
Omicron - BQ.1 and XBB - are currently believed to be responsible for the recent surge in COVID-19 cases - have recently spread rapidly in France, Germany and Singapore. From
to January, the number of infections is expected to reach 5% of the total population. However, due to large-scale vaccination, the harm of the virus is much lower.
[England faces the largest avian influenza threat ever]
England faces the largest avian influenza threat ever, so a policy was introduced:
Starting next week, all poultry and captive birds must stay indoors, reduce contact with wild birds and spread the virus.
UK Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss said:
Starting from midnight on November 7, everyone must strictly abide by the regulations. We give the owners a week of preparation. Now that the risk of wild birds infectious influenza is raised to very high across the country, we are facing the most severe situation ever.
Therefore, artificially raised poultry, birds must be separated from wild birds, which is one of the best defense measures.
At the same time, non-essential personnel are not allowed to enter the farm to ensure that staff are disinfected regularly.
UK Health and Safety Authority said:
At present, the risk of avian influenza poses very low to public health. Cooked poultry and poultry products such as eggs can be used safely.
