Stories of the week 10 December

This week Brexit kept on ramping up to full frenzy.

The Government lost three crucial votes and was found in contempt of Parliament. They duly published the Brexit legal advice.

In the face of this extraordinary shambles, there is talk of the EU agreeing to extend Article 50 to give the UK more time to sort it out.

The Press were spectacularly divided on the Brexit way forward and what was going to happen next. One thing that did unite them was that Prime Minister May must go.

Sir David Attenborough issued a dire warning on climate change, stating the end of civilisation is in sight unless World Leaders act right now.

To support Sir David’s point and in what was described as ‘brutal news’, carbon emissions jumped to an all-time high in 2018.

Last week, NASA’s incredible Mars InSight probe touched down on the planet. This week amazing history was made when InSight sent back the sound of Mars for humanity to hear. Scientists were amazed to hear Martian wind.

Stories of the week 14 October

Brexit

This week’s Brexit was all about movement and lack of movement.

The M26 may well become the ‘road to nowhere’ in the event of a no-deal Brexit. At least that’s what the government plans as they undertook secretive studies in night closures this week.

On the other hand, Nicola Sturgeon believes that Scotland is firmly on the move with talk of the SNP backing a second referendum on top of another Independence vote.

Much like a truck on the M26, Arlene Foster and the DUP are going nowhere over the Northern Irish border issue. They threatened to bring down the government if they didn’t like the final deal. Now there’s talk of May either dumping the DUP to get her deal through or paying them millions more to ensure their support.

This week was grim for the Conservatives on the domestic front.

Despite May promising the end of austerity, Universal Credit has been found to be a catastrophic mistake. Warnings of riots when the system is rolled out similar to the Poll Tax were made by politicians from all sides. To make matters worse, Esther McVey admitted people would be worse off under the new system. To complete the bleak picture it was also revealed that McVey had made charities sign gagging orders to stop them talking about the failure.

The Army has launched an investigation after videos and photos emerged of far right figurehead, Tommy Robinson, posing with British soldiers in uniform.

A UN report this week had a massive impact around the world. We have 12 short years to halve global emissions or face a bleak future. Time is running out and we have to move fast or face potentially life-ending consequences.

Damaging his ‘green credentials’, Michael Gove did not attend the Climate Change Summit day after the UN report.

More bad news for the Government after they were accused of changing the long-held British approach to the death penalty in order to appease Donald Trump.

Saudi Arabia have been accused of the torturing and killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi as the world considers sanctions.

There was a bumper crop of stories in our Technology section this week.
