Sajid Javid has been named the new Home Secretary after former incumbent Amber Rudd resigned following the Windrush scandal and a leaked letter to the Prime Minister that showed she pledged to increase deportations by 10% despite denying she was aware of deportation targets. Javid is the first BAME politician to hold the position. Many think Rudd is just protecting May.

Sainsbury’s and Asda insist they will not close any of their stores following their 13 billion merger that will see them overtake Tesco as the grocery sector’s largest company though they concede that regulators could force them to dispose of some sites. They also claim shoppers will see a significant reduction in prices.

ABBA have announced they are to release their first new material in 35 years ahead of a tour in 2019-2020 that will feature digital versions of themselves called “Abbatars”

Story Headline: Jeremy Corbyn reiterates plan for four new public holidays, including St George’s Day

Story Source: Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-bank-holiday-commitment-st-georges-day-labour-manifesto-a8317091.html

Jeremy Corbyn reiterated his pledge to introduce a new national holiday to mark the patron saints of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

He will tell a union conference on Monday – St George’s Day – that after eight years of “damaging Tory austerity”, Britain’s workers deserve a day off.

In his speech, the Labour leader will also point to the Windrush scandal, claiming that the  “sickening Go Home vans” used in 2013 showed that the government’s “patriotic posturing” was a sham.

Under Labour’s proposals, UK-wide public holidays will be held on St David’s Day (March 1), St Patrick’s Day (March 17), St George’s Day (April 23) and St Andrew’s Day (November 30). With eight public holidays, the UK has the fewest of any G20 or EU country, Mr Corbyn will tell the annual conference of the Communication Workers Union in Bournemouth.

A ‘cannabis-themed’ party at an Oxford University college has been cancelled after students complained it encouraged ‘cultural appropriation’.

In an email to students, organisers reportedly said the party would be a celebration of the ‘internationally recognised day of protest for the legalisation of Marijuana’.

They invited students to ‘dress up as their favourite stoner’ and wrote: ‘420 is not about the consumption of da herb itself, and more about the arts, music, and literature surrounding it; it’s a celebration of a rich culture including everything from hippies to Hip-Hop, from Seth Rogan to the Dude.’

They also warned: ‘If you’re white, don’t try to go as Snoop Dogg or Bob Marley. Blackface isn’t cool.’ Along with the invite, they emphasised that they do not condone the use of drugs.
