Labour Justice Secretary is planning on announcing extra funding will be put into more legal aid for illegal immigrants to fight to be rewarded leave to stay in UK. Apparently this is to speed up and reduce time they are put up in hotels.

Former Prime Minister Lord David Cameron has backed moves to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill adults.

In an article in The Times, Lord Cameron said that while he had opposed moves to legalise assisted dying in the past, he believed the current proposal was "not about ending life, it is about shortening death, external".

Previously his main concern had been that "vulnerable people could be pressured into hastening their own deaths", but he said he believed the current proposal contained "sufficient safeguards" to prevent this.

New measures for domestic abuse victims- only launched in a few places but a good move in the right direction. The immediate issue of Domestic Abuse protection notices to give time to apply for a DAPO will really help, as will family being able to apply on the victims behalf.

This new private group has been set up by myself and Peter Andrews on Facebook for the sole purpose for all Scooploop members to share information in the event of any further disruptions to the SL service. As we all found out very recently when SL went down, none of us knew for certain what was going on? Should the same thing happen again, members can be reassured that they can remain in contact with their friends. And should SL close indefinitely later down the line? We could use this group to suggest an alternative chat forum to join, so that we can all meet up again, and carry on as per usual.🤣 Everyone, and we mean everyone regardless of our personal likes, or dislikes are very welcome to join this group and have their say without any hard feelings, or grudges whatsoever. Best regards, Albert & Peter.

PS: Please be assured none of your personal information is obtained by the admin when joining this group.The only requirement (so we can initially identify who you are) is that when you join the group, please let us know your Scooploop user name. Thanks! Hopefully Scooploop will be still around for many, many more years to come. But should the worst happen, this new group will be a good place for everyone to meet up. If you would like to join the group? Please use the following link...

"According to the most recent ONS statistics, from 2018, liver disease is consistently among the top three causes of death each year among women aged 39-45.

“Women's drinking pretty much doubled in a really short period of time… about 10 years,” Prof Fiona Measham, a leading expert in drink and drug culture from the University of Liverpool, tells me.

Her research suggests that in the 1990s and 2000s, the alcohol industry zeroed in on female drinkers, targeting them with products such as alcopops and shots - and using feminism, female empowerment and liberation as a marketing tool.

She thinks these practices established a drinking culture in a whole generation of young women that would leave a lasting legacy.

“What we're seeing now is that young people, their consumption is falling fastest, but it's still holding quite steady for people in their 30s, 40s and 50s,” she says.

The same aggressive approach persists today within the alcohol industry, believes Prof Carol Emslie, from Glasgow Caledonian University. Only now it is pushing things like prosecco, “gin o’clock” and “wine time” as a way for women to relax and practise self-care after a hard day."

Back in his 2011 trial, Simon Beech – now 36 years old – said that he had been a member of both the neo-fascist British National Party (BNP) and the English Defence League (EDL).

Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and former defence minister, as well as Hamas's military commander.

A statement said a pre-trial chamber had rejected Israel’s challenges to the court’s jurisdiction and issued warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.

A warrant was also issued for Mohammed Deif, although the Israeli military has said he was killed in an air strike in Gaza in July.

The judges found “reasonable grounds” that the three men bore "criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war between Israel and Hamas. Both Israel and Hamas have rejected the allegations.

The son of a farmer who took his own life has spoken about the financial pressures currently facing people working in agriculture.

Cattle farmer John Charlesworth, 78, who was known as Philip, was found dead last week at Broad Close Farm, near Barnsley, which has been run by the family since 1957.

Jonathan Charlesworth, 46, said the Silkstone farm's annual profit was only £15,000 and that income had mainly come from diversifying its operations by opening a campsite and activity centre.

"Farms are asset rich, but there isn't any cash in the system. What little bit we make, we live off," he said.

"It was his life and seeing that passed to the next generation, that was the aim," Mr Charlesworth said of his father.

Mr Charlesworth said his father had also been full-time carer for his wife, who has advanced dementia, which had added to his financial worries.

The most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics showed 36 farmers across the UK took their own lives in 2021.

In the government's recent Budget, it was announced that a 20% inheritance tax would apply to agricultural assets worth more than £1m from April 2026.

Previously, agricultural property tax relief allowed family farms, including land, buildings, and housing, to pass between generations tax-free.

Paying tribute to his father, Mr Charlesworth said: "In any other job you would have compassionate leave, but on a farm you're just working twice as hard."

The government said it was unable to comment on this specific case, but offered its condolences to Mr Charlesworth's family and friends.

Biden authorises Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike Russia - reportspublished at 18:45
18:45Breaking

US President Joe Biden has given the green light for Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by the US to strike Russia, according to US media reports.

There is no formal confirmation by the White House or the Pentagon of the move which would be a major change of US policy.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has been urging for months for these restrictions on long-range missiles to be lifted, allowing Ukraine to target locations inside Russia.
