Click here   Boris Johnson looks set for a rough ride when parliament returns on Wednesday following the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling that his attempt to suspend it was unlawful and void.Intense discussions are ongoing among MPs about how to use the extra time and nothing is settled yet.  US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced a formal impeachment inquiry into US President Donald Trump.The most senior Democrat in Congress said the process was triggered by allegations over Trump pressuring the Ukrainian president to investigate his potential presidential rival Joe Biden in return for military aid.  Ice sheets are melting, glaciers are shrinking and the planet’s oceans are changing in “unprecedented” ways, according to a shocking new report released by the United Nations on Wednesday, the latest confirmation that climate change is already wreaking havoc around the globe.The findings, published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, the leading U.N. body studying human-caused global warming, issue stark warnings for hundreds of millions of people living in low-lying or coastal areas and come amid a renewed call from scientists who say the planet is quickly running out of time to stave off the worst impacts of climate change.  It’s been 38 years since toddler Katrice Lee, from Hartlepool, vanished during a shopping trip with her mother and aunt at a Naafi supermarket near a British military based in Paderborn, Germany.The family were living where Katrice’s father Richard, a soldier, was stationed.  A London bookshop received a surprise gift from Lady Hale on Tuesday following the Supreme Court’s historic verdict that Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend parliament was unlawful.On Tuesday morning, as all eyes were glued to broadcasts of the court’s decision, the London Review Bookshop tweeted that it uses the same brand of scissors as the ones that could be seen in front of Hale.   There are two camps when it comes to napping: those who can (and take great pleasure from it) and those who, despite their best attempts, just can’t.While one study in rodents suggests this difference might be down to genetics, James Wilson, a sleep behavioural expert also known as The Sleep Geek, has another theory.  And so they’re back. MPs are heading to Westminster, where parliament will recommence its interrupted session tomorrow morning. The Supreme Court referred to the doctrines of parliamentary sovereignty and parliamentary accountability to rule that the prorogation was unlawful. So far so unprecedented. As Catherine Barnard put it, it is “hard to think of a more damning judgment for the Prime Minister.” Yet what now?It clearly matters enormously that the Supreme Court has ruled that Boris Johnson acted illegally. Constitutionally, the judgement represented a powerful endorsement of parliamentary power. Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end.Lots of people hear the word redundancy and think it’s the end – yet the way I see it, it’s an opportunity to grow and learn. That’s because between 2008 and 2016, I was made redundant four times in a row. I truly believe that it always leads to something better… as long as you let it. Here’s what I’ve learned from each redundancy. The night I asked for a divorce, I wasn’t thinking about anyone else’s reaction. I wasn’t thinking about the stigma surrounding divorce, or how we’d been married for such a short period of time – less than two years. All I could think about was how I’d changed.Slowly, over time, our priorities had stopped lining up. No one had done anything wrong, but I just wasn’t the same person I’d been when we met nearly a decade before. And as much as I hated myself for hurting him, I’d fallen out of love. I was just… done.  New to this email? You can sign up here.©2019 Oath (UK) | Midcity Place, 71, High Holborn, London WC1V 6EA |
