An intelligence community whistleblower has stunned Washington with possible evidence that President Donald Trump perverted U.S. foreign policy for his own personal gain.But there’s another whistleblower ― one with possible evidence that Trump tried to corrupt an Internal Revenue Service audit of his personal tax returns ― who has received relatively little attention.  The era of establishment politics in France has ostensibly ended. Former French President Jacques Chirac, heir to the country’s Fifth Republic, has died, AFP and BBC News reported. He was 86.Chirac spent his professional life as a member of the Fifth Republic, the postwar government that Charles de Gaulle enacted in 1958. He held positions with every single presidency in France from 1958 until he himself became president in 1995, following François Mitterrand.  Boris Johnson’s “close friend” Jennifer Arcuri suddenly changed the registered UK address of her company as MPs questioned whether it should have been awarded a £100,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the government.The address for Hacker House was changed from what appeared to be a nondescript block of flats in Macclesfield to a prime property on London’s Fleet Street as MPs probed allegations of a conflict of interest in the Commons on Wednesday.

Delicate wash cycles in washing machines have been found to release more plastic microfibres than other cycles.New research led by Newcastle University has shown that it’s the volume of water used during that wash cycle – rather than the spinning action of the washing machine – which is the key factor in the release of plastic microfibres from clothes.  The first time I was told “to go home” and “back to where I came from,” I was seven: old enough to know they were referring to my Pakistani ethnicity, but too young to know why it was being said.It was the first time I realised that my skin colour was a target and felt the burden of what it was like to be seen as a brown person first and a human second. I was meeting with a white woman who I’ve known for about six months – a lovely girl with whom I had a nascent friendship and several interests in common, but with whom ultimately I was little more than acquaintances.It all came to an abrupt end when then she said this: “You’re so strong. Really, you are.” We both remember the Great Tomato Soup Incident of 2012 as a touchstone.My husband, Rob, had thoughtfully asked if I wanted anything from the grocery store.  New to this email?
