Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill, co-Chiefs of Staff to Prime Minister Theresa May have quit their roles in the wake of a general election result which saw the Conservative Party lose their overall majority. Thursday’s election, widely predicted to be a decisive victory for the governing Conservative Party, ended instead in a net loss of 13 seats and the loss of overall control of Parliament, while their rivals the Labour Party achieved a net gain of 30. In an article published on Conservative Home Saturday, Mr Timothy announced that he had quit his role on Friday as news of the loss sunk in, admitting that the result had been a “huge disappointment.” But he argued that the final tally of seats was not so much of a Conservative loss as it was a Labour gain “My immediate reaction, however, is this,” he wrote . “The Conservatives won more than 13.6 million votes, which is an historically high number, and more than Tony Blair won in all three of his election victories.  The … [Read more...] about GONE: Theresa May’s Chiefs Of Staff Quit Following Disastrous Election Result

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A Bowling Green State University student’s death from alleged alcohol-related hazing last week is invigorating a push to increase criminal penalties for hazing in Ohio. Joined by the mother of an Ohio University student who died after hazing in 2018, two Republican state senators said Wednesday they’re reintroducing a proposal to make alcohol- and drug-related hazing a felony if it causes serious harm to someone. They said the measure also would help ensure Ohio college students are educated about the dangers of such behavior. READ MORE: COVID-19 In Pittsburgh: Allegheny Co. Health Dept.

Contributing playwrights include Sarah Ruhl, Theresa Rebeck, Ngozi Anyanwu, Quinn Fontaine, Kit Yan and Lauren Gunderson. They’ll tackle everything from Eleanor Roosevelt to the life of a young Nigerian girl, who can’t go to school when she’s bleeding. “More than half of the people in the world experience periods, yet they’re still taboo to talk about,” said Tony Award-winning producer Tracey Knight. “Not only are these stories funny, heartbreaking and eye opening, but my partners and I are hopeful that they’ll also help to destigmatize menstruation.” The list of actors also includes Geneva Carr, Judy Gold, Julie Halston, Cady Huffman, Bianca Marroquin, Kellie Overbey, Lauren Patten, … [Read more...] about Mandy Moore Among Stars Performing ‘Period Piece’ Monologues Meant to ‘Destigmatize Menstruation’

She spends her time with her nine more opinion on CNN. (CNN) Donald Trump recently said that his supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 were " hugging and kissing " police officers and posed "zero threat." My experience of that day, and every day since, has been significantly different. My son, Michael Fanone , is a 20 year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department, assigned to the First District.

Michael was scheduled to work his regular shift but left for work early that day. I had been listening and watching on television the speeches at Trump's "Save America" rally. More and more, my anxiety grew as I saw the enormous crowd and listened to the negativity and tone of the … [Read more...] about Mother of injured Capitol officer: What my son went through will leave an imprint on my mind forever
