What I’m not going to do is announce the next Budget in advance – of course we’ll need to deal with the circumstances as they arise – but my fundamental principle is that people should keep more of their own money.”</p><p>In response, a statement issued by the Sunak campaign said: “Liz Truss has doubled down, refusing five times to say she will provide direct support for British families and pensioners this winter.</p><p>“Under her plans Liz will get £1800 of support whilst hard working families will get as little as £60, while facing the same rises in bills.</p><p>“Liz’s plan will not touch the sides for the majority of British families this winter and pensioners will get no help whatsoever.</p><p>“It seems she is divorced from reality, something that even her own supporters including Sajid Javid agree with.</p><p>“At a time of great concern for millions of people, the country needs honesty and leadership about how we tackle the challenges we face.”</p><p>Sunak has said he “<a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rishi-sunak-cost-of-living-hand-out_uk_62f16bcee4b0da5ec0f6ec26">will act” </a>to provide people with direct help to pay their bills if he becomes prime minister.</p><p>That prompted a Truss campaign source to hit back: “The question for Rishi on the economics of his new handout pledges is: how is he going to fund these new promises?</p><p>“Three weeks ago he was saying more borrowing was irresponsible and inflationary. Has he changed his mind? It’s feels like another big U-turn.</p><p>“How can Rishi’s borrowing not be inflationary, but Liz’s tax cuts are? Intellectually it’s as watertight as a sieve.”</p><p></p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">Related...</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/martin-lewis-blasts-zombie-government-as-energy-bills-set-to-hit-ps4200-in-january_uk_62f23721e4b0db71d8cbf369"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f2420d23000020004f91b4.jpg" aria-label="Martin Lewis Blasts 'Zombie Government' As Energy Bills Set To Hit £4,200 In January" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/martin-lewis-blasts-zombie-government-as-energy-bills-set-to-hit-ps4200-in-january_uk_62f23721e4b0db71d8cbf369" aria-label="Martin Lewis Blasts 'Zombie Government' As Energy Bills Set To Hit £4,200 In January">Martin Lewis Blasts 'Zombie Government' As Energy Bills Set To Hit £4,200 In January</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/sunak-triss-johnson-no-emergency-support-package_uk_62f21783e4b0acf9d001556f"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f219172300003d004f9185.jpg" aria-label="Sunak And Truss 'Will Not Sit Down With Boris Johnson' To Agree Emergency Package As Cost Of Living Crisis Worsens" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/sunak-triss-johnson-no-emergency-support-package_uk_62f21783e4b0acf9d001556f" aria-label="Sunak And Truss 'Will Not Sit Down With Boris Johnson' To Agree Emergency Package As Cost Of Living Crisis Worsens">Sunak And Truss 'Will Not Sit Down With Boris Johnson' To Agree Emergency Package As Cost Of Living Crisis Worsens</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rishi-sunak-backers-accuse-liz-truss-of-neglecting-poorest-and-most-vulnerable_uk_62f1fd33e4b0acf9d001226b"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f204e82200005c00020c8f.jpeg?cache=VD2UavHA9f" aria-label="Rishi Sunak Backers Accuse Liz Truss Of Neglecting Poorest And Most Vulnerable" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rishi-sunak-backers-accuse-liz-truss-of-neglecting-poorest-and-most-vulnerable_uk_62f1fd33e4b0acf9d001226b" aria-label="Rishi Sunak Backers Accuse Liz Truss Of Neglecting Poorest And Most Vulnerable">Rishi Sunak Backers Accuse Liz Truss Of Neglecting Poorest And Most Vulnerable</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rish-sunak-liz-truss-divorced-from-reality_uk_62f248cae4b001e175d786fc</link><source_id>62f248cae4b001e175d786fc</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f248cae4b001e175d786fc</guid><dc:creator>Kevin Schofield</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

Our lawns have barely recovered from July’s record-breaking hot spell and now we’re looking at an<a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/when-will-the-heatwave-end_uk_62f0bbd8e4b0c550161b6529"> unusually dry August. </a></p><p>Temperatures are expected to reach 35ºC in some parts of the UK by the end of the week and some areas have already <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/hosepipe-ban-rules-everything-you-need-to-know_uk_62ecc6bde4b0da5ec0f35160">imposed hosepipe bans</a>, with more expected to follow. </p><p>So, if your plants are already looking limp and your grass looks more like straw, what can you do?</p></div><div class="content-list-component text"><h3><strong>How to water your garden during a hosepipe ban </strong></h3><p>During previous hosepipe bans, the use of watering cans and buckets for watering the garden have been permitted – just make sure you double check with your water supplier to see if any additional rules have been put in place.</p><p>Using a watering can instead of a hosepipe or sprinkler tends to cut down the amount of water used. Water directly at the base of the plant to avoid waste. </p><p>You should also think about utilising recycled water, also known as “grey water”, says Tom Leonard aka Daisy Desire, The Drag Queen Gardener (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dragqueen_gardener/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">@dragqueen_gardener)</a>. </p><p>“Reuse water, wether it’s a washing up bowl or bath water this can all be used to water your stunning plants. Decanting the water into a bucket or bowl is a really simple and easy way to it, especially if you don’t have a water can to hand,” Leonard tells HuffPost UK.</p><p>“As long as the water doesn’t contain bleach or a strong chemical cleaning product, you’ll be fine to give the garden a good drink once the water has cooled down. That being said, I speak from experience when I say maybe also consider purchasing a water butt to collect the rain water long term. You don’t have to burst the bank – there is always someone selling a second hand on cheap or I even got my free as someone was putting in their skip!”</p><p>Some water companies also allow you to use hosepipes for pot plants. <a href="https://www.southeastwater.co.uk/about/updates/tubs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">South East Water</a>, for example, says plants in an outdoor pot or within a greenhouse count as exemptions. Again, check with your supplier. </p></div><div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f1118f1f000033008b49b5.jpeg?ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt=" Tom Leonard, aka "the one and only Drag Queen Gardener, Daisy Desire".

It needs to be done when it’s slightly cooler to give the plants the chance to really soak up the water,” he explains.</p><p>“A lot of people also think they need to give plants a lot more water in the heat. This isn’t necessarily true. If anything, you could be damaging your plants further by over watering them.</p><p>“Watering once a day when the temperatures are a bit lower is good enough which takes us to the next point.”</p><h3><strong>Once you’ve watered, use mulch </strong></h3><p>Soil dries out very quickly in high temperatures, so it’s a good idea to lock in the<br />moisture once you’ve watered your plants with some mulch. You can buy mulch from garden centres or make your own, utilising bark. </p><p>“Bark is a brilliant way to both retain moisture in the soil and help suppress the weeds that are also taking valuable resources from our plants. A good three-inch layer on top of the soil should help,” says Leonard. </p><p>“Other organic matters are a great option too, as you’re giving those soil organisms better conditions to thrive in. The soil conditions are often over-looked, but the trick to good gardening is to keep this in a healthy condition to achieve that fabulous harmony in any growing space.”</p></div><div class="content-list-component text"><p>While healthy soil is a must, Bonnett cautions against using fertiliser during a heatwave. </p><p>“A common mistake people make is thinking that plants need fertiliser in hot<br />conditions to make them stronger,” he says.</p><p>“You should actually avoid using fertiliser because when it is applied, it triggers the plant to grow, meaning more nutrients and water is needed. This will be hard to keep up with in hot conditions, the soil will be drying out quicker and your plant won’t really be able to absorb water properly in the heat.”</p><h3><strong>Create shade over plants that can’t move</strong></h3><p>Most of us have heard the tip about moving pots to the shade, but that isn’t much good if you’ve got fixed raised beds, borders or a veg patch that can’t move. But Bonnett says there are always ways to create a bit of shade.</p><p>“You can use anything from a white bedsheet to maybe an old net curtain,” he says. “Just simply pin or hang it above the area of your plants to protect them from the sun.”</p></div><div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f0f8301e00005a0055df2b.jpeg?ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt="" data-caption="" data-credit-link-back="" data-credit="Lourdes Balduque via Getty Images" /></div><div class="content-list-component text"><h3><strong>Don’t worry about your lawn too much</strong></h3><p>It may be impossible to keep grass green if you’re impacted by the hosepipe bans, but there are some steps you can take to limit the damage to your lawn.</p><p>Consider using a watering can with a sprinkler head when giving the lawn a drink as you are able to cover a far greater surface area,” says Leonard. </p><p>“Mow less! Especially if your lawn begins to turn yellow or brown, allow your lawn to have more shade and grass often will grow a lot slower during hot weather, so give it a little time to catch up with itself. </p><p>“Lastly, think about rotating your garden furniture regularly to prevent any possible damage to your lawn.”</p><p>And if all that fails, don’t sweat it.

She remained cancer-free until a recurrence in 2013, but was subsequently diagnosed for the third time in September 2018.</p><p>Over the years, she’s used her platform to speak about the disease and advocate for further cancer research to help others diagnosed.</p><p>To celebrate her legacy, here are just a handful of the things she wanted the world to know about breast cancer. </p></div><div class="content-list-component text"><h3><strong>If you think something is wrong, seek a second opinion </strong></h3><p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.you.co.uk/olivia-newton-john-interview-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">You magazine</a> in 2021, Newton-John recalled her journey towards diagnosis </p><p>“I found a lump in my breast. The mammogram and biopsy didn’t show anything, but I still felt something was wrong,” she said. “My surgeon and I decided to do a further exploratory biopsy and found the cancer. That is why I always say to women, ‘If you have an instinct that something isn’t right, follow it up.’ I am very grateful that I did.”</p><h3><strong>Some people live with cancer for years </strong></h3><p>Thanks to advances in technology, a breast cancer diagnosis isn’t an inevitable, overnight death sentence for everyone. Newton-John spoke repeatedly about living a long and full life. </p><p>“Here I am 18 years later and I am talking about it and I was fearful of talking about it the first five years because a lot of women are until we get to that five-year marker, but all I can really say is, here I am and I am here, so you can be,” she said in 2010, according to <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/olivia-newton-johns-powerful-quotes-about-battling-cancer-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">US Weekly</a>.</p></div><div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f238c12300001b0030b777.png?ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt="Olivia on the set of Grease in 1978 with John Travolta." data-caption="Olivia on the set of Grease in 1978 with John Travolta." data-credit-link-back="" data-credit="PARAMOUNT PICTURES VIA GETTY IMAGES" />Olivia on the set of Grease in 1978 with John Travolta.</div><div class="content-list-component text"><h3><strong>She was a big believer in holistic therapies </strong></h3><p>Alongside surgery, chemo and radiotherapy Newton-John was open (and vocal) about her use of medical cannabis. Her belief in it was so strong, she set up the Olivia Newton-John Foundation to fund research into holistic therapies for cancer.</p><p><a href="https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2022/05/13/cannabis-cannabinoids-and-cancer-the-evidence-so-far/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cancer Research UK</a> says “right now, there isn’t a large enough body of evidence to prove that cannabis (or any of its active compounds or derivatives) can reliably treat any form of cancer” but adds “the medical use of cannabis to treat cancer-related chronic pain is approved in the UK”.</p><p>Speaking about her own personal use of plant-based therapies to the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/26/olivia-newton-john-i-dont-wish-cancer-on-anyone-else-but-for-me-it-has-been-a-gift" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Guardian in 2020</a>, Newton-John said: “I was nervous of it in the beginning. But I could see the benefits once I started using it. It helps with anxiety, it helps with sleep, it helps with pain.</p><p>“I’m not telling anyone to do anything. I just want to do the research and find out which things work.”</p><h3><strong>Hearing about time limits isn’t for everyone </strong></h3><p>Some cancer patients might like to know their life expectancy, but Newton-John ensured she was never given a number by medics. </p><p>“When you’re given a cancer diagnosis or a scary honest diagnosis, you’re suddenly given a possibility of a time limit,” she said during an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJtPgpedcFo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">60 Minutes Australia.</a></p><p>She continued: “If somebody tells you, you have six months to live, very possibly you will because you believe that. So for me, psychologically, it’s better not to have any idea of what they expect, or what the last person that has what you have lived, so I don’t tune in.”</p><h3><strong>Not everyone sees cancer as a ‘battle’ </strong></h3><p>We often hear words like “battle” and “fight” associated with cancer, but Newton-John didn’t find that language helpful. Instead, she said her focus on gratitude and wellness was key to maintaining her mental health.</p><p>“I don’t think of myself as sick with cancer,” she told <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/26/olivia-newton-john-i-dont-wish-cancer-on-anyone-else-but-for-me-it-has-been-a-gift" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Guardian in 2020</a>. “I choose not to see it as a fight either because I don’t like war. I don’t like fighting wherever it is – whether it’s outside or an actual war inside my body. I choose not to see it that way. I want to get my body healthy and back in balance. Part of that is your mental attitude to it.” </p><h3><strong>Everyone has bad days </strong></h3><p>Newton-John spoke a lot about positive thinking, but during her 2017 Today show appearance she acknowledged that’s it’s normal to have bad days. </p><p>Speaking of her second diagnosis, she said: “Having it happen again, I thought to myself, ‘I’ve done it before, I got through this before and I can do it again,’” she said. “Of course, you have fear. That’s only natural. But my positive outlook is a decision. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I have dark moments and negative moments, I’m human. But on a general scale, I tend to see the glass is half full.”</p><h3><strong>Towards the end, death is something you accept </strong></h3><p>In one of her final interviews recorded last year, Newton-John spoke about approaching death without fear. </p><p>“We all know we’re going to die, but I think we spend our lives in denial”, she said on Sarah Grynberg’s <a href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=76202X1526515&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fau%2Fpodcast%2Folivia-newton-john-re-release-in-memory-of-her-life%2Fid1457268944%3Fi%3D1000575443017&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2F3am%2Fcelebrity-news%2Folivia-newton-john-revealed-brave-27691731&amp;xcust=xid:fr1660040291319ddf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-orig-url="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=76202X1526515&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fau%2Fpodcast%2Folivia-newton-john-re-release-in-memory-of-her-life%2Fid1457268944%3Fi%3D1000575443017&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2F3am%2Fcelebrity-news%2Folivia-newton-john-revealed-brave-27691731" data-ml-id="0">A Life of Greatness</a> podcast.</p><p>“It’s extremely personal so it’s hard to put into words. I feel that we are all one thing and I’ve had experiences with spirits and spirit life. I believe there is something that happens.</p><p>“I hope the energies of the people you love will be there. I think all the love will be there.

Hospitalisations?]]></title><description type="html"><![CDATA[<div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f2436b1f00005f008b4ac7.jpeg?ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt="" data-caption=""

current dominant <a href="news/covid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Covid</a> variant may increase <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/booster-jab-update-as-covid-cases-rise_uk_62c29a00e4b0a21d8428e389">the risk of hospitalisation.</a></p><p>The study compares BA.2, an <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/omicron-less-likely-cause-long-covid-delta-vaccine_uk_6274f6f1e4b00fbab62cdb11">Omicron</a> sub-variant – also known as the <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/can-you-get-stealth-ba2-subvariant-after-recent-covid_uk_6244e167e4b0d8266aa747eb">“stealth” variant</a> – with BA.5, the Omicron sub-variant which is responsible for 78.8% of UK <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/covid-19-variants-identified-in-the-uk-latest-updates" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">infections right now.</a></p><p>But just how much weight does this study carry?</p><p>Here’s what we know so far.</p><h2><strong>What does the research say?</strong></h2><p>A <a href="https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.25.22277996v1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">study in Portugal, published on the Medrxiv preprint server, </a>collected 27,702 samples between April 25 and June 10 this year.</p><p>Slightly over half (55.5%) were classed as BA.2, and the rest BA.5, which is currently the dominant strain in many countries <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/covid-19-variants-identified-in-the-uk-latest-updates" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">including the UK.</a></p><p>The scientists behind the study claim a BA.5 infection is 3.3 times more likely to mean someone has to be hospitalised compared to its predecessor. </p><p>They also found there was a higher risk of reinfection with BA.5 compared to the previous dominant strain, BA.2, regardless of vaccination status.</p><p>The researchers also claimed that, while jabs are less effective than they were against BA.2, booster vaccines still offer substantial protection against severe outcomes following BA.5 infection.</p><p>Irina Kislaya from the National Institute of Health in Lisbon worked on the research, and said: “Our results suggest that higher immune evasion of BA.5 might explain the surge in cases seen in countries with high BA.5 prevalence.”</p><p><a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4165630" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Another study from Denmark</a> found a lower rate of difference between the two sub-variants, but still noted that hospitalisation rates from BA.5 were 1.65 times higher than with BA.2.</p><h2><strong>Why do we need to be cautious about this research?</strong></h2><p>The Portugal study has not yet been peer-reviewed, meaning it should not yet be used to guide clinical practice, but was published due to its timely nature.</p><p>Professor Paul Hunter of the University of East Anglia also warned that both the Portugal and Denmark study are at risk of exaggerating hospitalisations because fewer tests are being conducted now, compared to when other strains were dominant.</p><p>With fewer tests being carried out, there may be a skew towards the more severe infections which result in hospitalisations while milder cases slip under the radar.</p><p><a href="https://inews.co.uk/news/health/new-omicron-covid-variant-hospital-previous-strain-1779617" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">According to the i, </a>Prof. Hunter said: “It doesn’t look like we will see a much higher hospitalisation rate than we saw with BA.2 but some increase is still possible.</p><p>“This isn’t to say BA.5 is associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation – but it’s early days yet.”</p><p>He said it would not be possible to know the precise risk until the end of this wave – but it’s likely that the hospitalisation numbers will remain much lower than in the most deadly waves seen earlier in the pandemic.</p><p>Still, UCL’s Professor Christina Pagel said: <span style="font-weight:400">“On the increase in risk from hospitalisation, the most concerning about it is that it shows again that it is not true that each successive variant must be intrinsically milder from now on.”</span></p><h2><strong>What do we already know about BA.5?</strong></h2><div><p>We know that BA.5 grew 35% faster than BA.2, according to the UK Health Security Agency, and there was<a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/booster-jab-update-as-covid-cases-rise_uk_62c29a00e4b0a21d8428e389"> an uptick in hospitalisations</a> when this sub-variant first became dominant.</p><p>However, they may have been caused by the surge in the new variant cases rather than because BA.5 is more likely to cause hospitalisations.</p><div><p>BA.5 spreads very easily and appears to somewhat dodge antibody responses from both those who have natural immunity and have been fully vaccinated.</p></div><div><p>It’s thought this is down to a mutation on its spike proteins, which enables the virus to retrain attacks on human lung cells.</p></div><p>Despite the fresh concerns around the new sub-variants, the UKHSA claimed in June there is <a role="link"

pain</p></li><li><p>Sneezing</p></li><li><p>Pain</p></li></ul></div><h2><strong>What do the experts say?</strong></h2><p>ZOE Health Study experts told HuffPost UK that there is currently not enough data on their app to back up the claim of increased hospitalisations with BA.5.</p><p>However, Dr Denis Kinane, the founding scientist at Cignpost Diagnostics, told HuffPost UK: “<span lang="EN-US">This latest research is very concerning. </span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">“While rising case numbers are always a worry, the biggest concern is increasing hospitalisation. While this is only a single study, it is a stark rem</span><span lang="EN-US">inder that Covid is not over</span>.”</p><p>Dr Kinane also claimed that as <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/england-could-see-rapid-covid-growth-sage_uk_620faf0ee4b08ee35ee18203">universal free testing</a> has been scrapped in the UK, fewer people are likely to be diagnosed, making it hard to track Covid.</p><p style="font-weight:400">He pointed out: “The virus has not disappeared, it has continued to mutate, and though the UK’s vaccination programme allowed us to exert a reasonable amount of control on the virus’ transmission, waning immunity from the vaccine is now causing an uptick in hospitalisations, all of this has been borne out by the Portuguese study of BA.5.”</p><p>The <a href="news/vaccine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">last national booster rollout</a> took place last winter, meaning the majority of the population are roughly six months on from their last vaccine dose making them more susceptible to the virus.</p><p style="font-weight:400">Dr Kinane issued a stark warning about the future of Covid too, telling us that we have “limited visibility on the virus’ prevalence in the population” meaning cases could keep climbing.</p><p style="font-weight:400">“We are also likely to see more mutations and recombinant variants of this virus if sections of the population remain unvaccinated or immune status wanes,” he added.</p><p style="font-weight:400">“It is expected that Covid will adapt, and we need to remain cautious about its evolution.”</p><h2><strong>Where are we with Covid right now?</strong></h2><p>The Office for National Statistics <a href="https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths?areaType=nation&amp;areaName=England" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">has identified</a> more than 22,000 fatalities linked to Covid in England in the last six months. </p><p>At the end of May 2022, 2.98 million adults in England were still unvaccinated, while an extra 1.5 million have only had a single dose. Vaccines help reduce hospitalisation rates, although do not prevent people from catching the virus altogether.</p><p>Dr Kinane also warned that summer festivals and major events are likely to trigger a surge in infections.</p></div><div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f22d9823000034004f91a1.jpeg?ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt="People testing positive for Covid-19 in private households in the UK" data-caption="People testing positive for Covid-19 in private households in the UK" data-credit-link-back="" data-credit="PA Graphics via PA Graphics/Press Association Images" />People testing positive for Covid-19 in private households in the UK</div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">Related...</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/diarrhoea-covid-symptom-expert-viewe_uk_62ecfbc2e4b09fecea4d5ad6"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62ed06e4240000610027af2f.jpeg" aria-label="Can Covid Give You Diarrhoea?

class="content-list-component text"><p>A crossbench Lord took down the current government’s <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rtwanda-deportation-flight-six-on-board_uk_62a88d98e4b0cf43c84ed063">highly-controversial</a><a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rwanda-policy-prompts-new-twitter-slur-priti-patel_uk_62a9aaa8e4b06169ca929bb6">attitude towards asylum seekers</a> on Monday in a scathing speech.</p><p>Sir John Kerr, a former UK ambassador to the US with a distinguished career in the civil service, was responding to the ongoing debate around the <a href="news/conservatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Conservatives</a>’ <a href="news/rwanda" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rwanda</a> plan.</p><p>This policy, spearheaded by home secretary<a href="news/priti-patel" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Priti Patel</a>, was unveiled in April – but not one asylum seeker who supposedly arrived in the UK by “illegal” means has been sent to the east African country as yet.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rwanda-plan-slammed-as-a-failure-after-13000-cross-channel-since-announcement_uk_62f10fc8e4b09d09a2c5b6d1">also revealed that 13,016 people</a> have made the perilous journey across the English Channel since April 14. <a href="news/boris-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Boris Johnson</a> previously pitched the idea as a deterrent against <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rwanda-asylum-policy-mps-say-there-is-no-evidence-plan-works_uk_62d50639e4b0ed8ba490f841">“vile people smugglers”.</a></p><p>Despite the lack of success with the scheme, the contenders to be the next prime minister,<a href="news/liz-truss" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Liz Truss </a>and <a href="news/rishi-sunak" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rishi Sunak,</a> have both promised to continue it.</p><p>Truss even said she wants to “extend” the deportation scheme to more countries.</p><p>While it does not look like the divisive policy is going to go away anytime soon, Kerr did deliver a scathing blow to anyone who still wants to champion the scheme in just three points while speaking in the House of Lords.</p></div><div class="content-list-component text"><h2><strong>1. Refugee numbers have decreased</strong></h2><p>Kerr pointed out that there used to be a much larger number of refugees coming to the UK.</p><p>He said: “Overall refugee numbers are currently running at about half of where they were about 20 years ago.</p><p>“We are not the preferred destination in Europe.” </p><p>He acknowledged that the number of small boat crossings is up, but this is partly due to people being forced to take the more dangerous routes.</p><p>According to the<a href="https://separatedchild.org/our-work/refugee-facts/?gclid=CjwKCAjwi8iXBhBeEiwAKbUofav4qxkHCb8fsa7YfqNK-NkVd1iyRSTrxLTd-RkeUctC15S3XuUCzRoCVR4QAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> charity Separated Child,</a> the UK ranks 14th out of all European country when it comes to asylum applications in proportion to its population.</p><p>The organisation also claimed the number of global refugees has increased since 2012, but within Europe it fell to 676,300 in 2019 (having reached 1.3 million in 2016).</p><h2><strong>2. UK asylum schemes are not functioning</strong></h2><p>Kerr explained: ″Our schemes in practice no longer exist.”</p><p>With official resettlement routes shut, asylum seekers are left with little choice but to travel via the most dangerous route possible to flee war and seek safety.</p><p>For instance, the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=afghan+refugee+scheme+huffpost+uk&amp;oq=afghan+refugee+scheme+huffpost+uk&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2j69i65j69i61l2.3763j0j4&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Afghan scheme is not up and running</a>, and the Ukrainian refugee scheme only last six months at the moment, meaning <a href="https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/ukrainian-refugee-homelessness-rise-england-1744521" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">many may find themselves homeless.</a></p><p>The Syrian scheme and the Dubs scheme – which enabled 480 unaccompanied refugee children to come to the UK from Europe – have both ended.</p><p>The Dublin III has also come to a close. This was a regulation which meant the UK could provide a legal route for reuniting separated<a href="https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9031/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> asylum-seeking family</a> members in the UK – to came to an end when Brexit happened.</p><p>Kerr also pointed out that Iranians are the largest nationality to come over to the UK in the last 18 months by the channel – and only one out of those 3,188 was able to come through the official route.</p><p>The UK currently has the highest rejection rate for asylum seekers in Europe, according to<a href="https://swvg-refugees.org.uk/about-asylum/asylum-facts/uk-compare-countries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> SWVG refugees.</a></p><h2><strong>3. Most are genuine asylum seekers</strong></h2><p>Kerr also took on Patel’s claims about the refugees trying to come to the UK directly.</p><p>The home secretary has previously said <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/nov/02/priti-patel-urged-to-justify-claim-most-boat-migrants-not-real-refugees">70% of channel crossers</a> are “economic migrants not genuine asylum seekers”, but Kerr said: “That is plainly not true.”</p><p>He pointed out that her own department data shows that of the<a href="https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN01403/SN01403.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> top 10 nationalities</a> arriving in small boats are “virtually all asylum seekers” with 61% granted asylum at the initial stage, and 59% upon appeal.</p><p>So, he concludes that over 70% of the Channel crossers are genuine asylum seekers come from war-torn areas, including Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria.</p><h2><strong>Why the UK needs to help asylum seekers, not punish them</strong></h2><p>Kerr also raised an important point about why the UK should be more welcoming towards asylum seekers, and possibly even offer “a humanitarian visa”.</p><p>He added: “Unless we provide a safe route, we are complicit with the people smugglers.”</p><p> “Our compassion is well-controlled, because it doesn’t stop us planning to criminalise those who survive the peril of the seas and those at Dover who try to help them.”</p><p>This is a reference to Patel’s repeated attempts to make any arrivals to the UK via the English Channel “illegal” in the Nationality and Borders Bill.</p><p>In a damning conclusion, Kerr also claimed that if the UK did end up sending <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/clause-9-nationality-borders-bill-priti-patel-asylum-refugees_uk_61b32fa6e4b04ae319fdb761">asylum seekers to Rwanda</a>, it would be driven by “sheer political prejudice”.</p><p>He said to pursue such a policy would not be following the facts, because the facts “do not support a case for cruelty.”</p><p>Meanwhile, the UK is planning to break with the <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/asylum-immigration-priti-patel-unhcr_uk_60981c41e4b0f73e530edec8">international Refugee Convention to</a> push its legislation

in the UK seem like a lifetime away. But the reality is that in a few month’s time, the mercury will drop – and with energy prices rocketing to unaffordable levels, it’s likely we’ll see a rise in ‘warm banks’.</p><p>For those lucky enough to not yet be familiar with the term, ‘warm banks’ are public places where people can go to keep warm in the winter, when they can’t afford to keep their heating on at home.</p><p>It’s a devastating reality that warm banks are needed in one of the world’s wealthiest countries. But this is now the case, as energy analysts predict we’ll face a 65% increase in bills come October, with a possible further 8% rise in January. All while<a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/bp-profit-announcement-cost-of-living-crisis-energy_uk_62e8e3e4e4b09d14dc46228c"> energy companies record huge profits.</a></p><p>Here’s what you need to know about the rise in warm banks – and where to find them – come winter. </p><h2>Where did ‘warm banks’ come from?</h2><p>In July this year, Money Saving Expert’s Martin Lewis tweeted about a potential need for ‘warm banks’ off the back of the energy price hike and soaring inflation. This would see public buildings such as libraries, community centres and churches open their doors to those who can’t afford to keep their heating on at home. </p><p>“Can’t believe I’m writing this, but I wonder if this winter we’ll need ’warm banks,” he said, describing them as “the equivalent of food banks, where people who can’t afford heating are invited to spend their days at no cost”. </p></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Can&#39;t believe I&#39;m writing this, but I wonder if this winter well need &#39;warm banks&#39; the equivalent of &#39;food banks&#39; where people who can&#39;t afford heating are invited to spend their days at no cost with heating (eg libraries, public buildings)?</p>&mdash; Martin Lewis (@MartinSLewis) <a href="https://twitter.com/MartinSLewis/status/1546524744241004545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 11, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><div class="content-list-component text"><p>The idea isn’t a new one. In 2021, a community support group in Bungay, a town in Suffolk, set up a ‘Warm Rooms Project’ which provided heated spaces for residents of the town and its neighbouring villages to go and keep warm. </p><p>Now more councils across the UK are considering the possibility of opening warm banks this winter. Although poverty campaigners and charities warned this isn’t a sustainable solution to the problem – and ultimately the buck stops with the government to intervene.</p><p>The charity chair of Canterbury Food Bank, Martin Ward, <a href="https://www.kentonline.co.uk/canterbury/news/winter-warm-banks-could-help-people-struggling-with-energy-271181/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told Kent Online</a> that if warm banks become necessary we will have reached “the most desperate of times”.</p><p>“We welcome it, but as a stop-gap, because a permanent solution can only be found by government,” he said.</p><h2>Why are they needed?</h2><p>The UK is facing an unprecedented rise in living costs – our food is more expensive, our fuel is more expensive and our energy bills are about to see another massive hike come October. It’s thought these bills alone could rise to £3,300 a year for a typical home, and for many households in the UK this is simply unaffordable. </p><p>As a result it’s likely that lots of people will turn their heating off because they can’t afford to heat their homes. But in the coldest months, which can sometimes see temperatures dip well below 0°C, people still need to stay warm – especially the elderly and those more vulnerable to the cold. Public buildings would be open and heated anyway, so the idea is that people can head to these locations during the day to stay warm. </p><h2>There are limitations</h2><p>Obviously the idea of ‘warm banks’ isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, as it would exclude many people who are housebound or have limited accessibility, as well as those living in rural areas.</p><p>It also ignores the fact people would need to leave their homes in the first place to go out into the cold to get to these spaces – and that these spaces wouldn’t be open at night, when temperatures drop even more and heat is especially needed. </p></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is sickenjng.

According to CBS News, it had concluded by late afternoon, and agents removed several boxes.</p><p>The raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach is thought to be connected to an investigation into his handling of official papers during his time in the White House.</p><p>In a statement released on Tuesday, Trump claimed: “These are dark times for our nation. Nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the United States before.”</p><p>CBS News also reported that the former president was based in the Trump Tower in New York at the time of the FBI’s alleged raid.</p><p>Other sources told the news outlet that the Biden administration had no advance knowledge about the raid. The White House has said it is limiting its interactions with top justice department officials so that it stays apart from the incident.</p><p><a href="news/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Joe Biden</a>, who beat <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/joe-biden-wins-us-presidential-election_uk_5fa1e298c5b63dc9a5c1b5fc">Trump in the 2020 election</a>, pledged in his campaign that he would stay out of justice departmental affairs. </p><h2><strong>Why did the FBI reportedly investigate?</strong></h2><p>Justice department spokeswoman Dena Iverson refused to comment on Trump’s claims, and did not say if the Attorney General Merrick Garland personally authorised it.</p><p>However, many believe the raid – which is yet to be confirmed by the FBI either – was related to Trump’s handling of official papers. Sources allege that agents were looking to see if the former president had additional presidential records or any classified documents on the state.</p><p>Federal law (Presidential Records Act) states US presidents have to transfer all of their documents – including letters and emails – to the National Archives. There are also statutes that mean it is a crime to remove any such material and leave it in an unauthorised location – such as Mar-A-Lago.</p><p>This isn’t the first time Trump’s handling of official documentation has been called into question.</p><p>Back in February, the National Archives announced it had retrieved 15 boxes of documents from Mar-a-Lago, including items “marked as classified national security information”. Trump was supposed to have handed these over when his presidency ended.</p><p>The National Archives asked the justice department to look into Trump at the time, with officials claiming he had illegally ripped up papers which then had to be taped back together.</p><p>A source told CBS that the raid was connected to the presidential records.</p><p>Such a raid has to be signed off by a judge, and law enforcement agencies have to prove they have probable evidence of illegality before it is approved.</p><p>The raid also comes after journalist Maggie Haberman <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/donald-0trump-toilet-documents-maggie-haberman_n_62f13682e4b0c550161c3772">claimed in her book, Confidence Man,</a> that White House staff would find wads of paper clogging up toilets in the residence. They supposedly believed Trump was putting it down there, but he denies it.</p><p>It’s worth noting that the current FBI director Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump in 2017. He was a high-ranking official in the Republican-led Justice department.</p></div><div class="content-list-component text"><h2><strong>What implications does this have for Trump’s future?</strong></h2><p>The search warrant does not suggest criminal charges are looming, or even expected. </p><p>But Trump was widely expected to try for a third presidential run, and the supposed raid comes just as the Republicans are gearing up for the next election.</p><p>This is also three months away from a poll which will decide the makeup of the next Congress.</p><h2><strong>How has Trump – and his supporters – responded?</strong></h2><p>Trump claimed the raid marked “dark times for our nation”.</p><p>He also declared any accusations that he had not acting appropriately with official records as “fake news” and that he had turned over presidential records in an “ordinary and routine process”.</p><p>Trump alleged that he has co-operated with all the appropriate government branches too, meaning the “unannounced raid” was neither “necessary or appropriate”.</p><p>He believes the raid was “political”, dubbing it “prosecutorial misconduct” and “the weaponisation of the justice system” to stop him from getting back into the White House.</p><p>His son, Eric Trump, shared his take on the raid in an interview with Fox News on Monday.</p><p>He said documents may have been moved out of the White House during “six hours” on Inauguration Day, as Biden prepared to move in.</p><p>“My father always kept press clippings. He had boxes, when he moved out of the White House,” Trump’s son said.</p><p>The former president has received back-up from other Republicans too.</p><p>Florida senator Marco Rubio tweeted: “Using government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from 3rd world Marxist dictatorships.”</p><p>Florida governor Ron DeSantis (considered a potential Republican candidate for the presidency) tweeted that it was “an escalation in the weaponisation” of US government agencies.</p><p>The House minority leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted that the Justice Department “has reached an intolerable state of weaponised politicisation”. He claimed that if Republicans win control of the US House, they will investigate the branch.</p><p>Trump’s fanbase have gathered outside the raided property as well, waving flags and expressing their fury.</p></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is the scene near Mar-A-Lago where some Trump supporters have gathered <a href="https://twitter.com/nbc6?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nbc6</a><a href="https://twitter.com/NBCNewsNow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NBCNewsNow</a><a href="https://t.co/n9jsnKKO1J">pic.twitter.com/n9jsnKKO1J</a></p>&mdash; Cristian Benavides (@cbenavidesTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/cbenavidesTV/status/1556802919919505408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 9, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><div class="content-list-component text"><h2><strong>Is this Trump’s only problem right now?</strong></h2><p>In short – no.</p><p>The former president is also being investigated by a US House of Representatives select committee over his response to the<a href="news/capitol-riot" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> US Capitol riot</a> on January 6 last year.

investigated by a Georgia prosecutor over whether he tried to interfere with the swing state’s results from the 2020 election.</p><p>These issues all stem from Trump’s claim that he won the election,

between the two leadership candidates”, which meant any talks would be a waste of time.</p><p>Downing Street <a

would not intervene in the cost of living crisis before he leaves office next month.</p><p>It means no new government support measures can be thrashed out until after September 6, when his successor

what is very important is that Rishi’s made it clear that we’re looking at energy bills likely to be higher than what we were expecting when he set out his plans when he was chancellor in May.</p><p>“What he said is that that, therefore, will require more help being delivered, and he’s going to set that out in detail once we know exactly what the new energy price cap will be in October, but he’s set out that it’s going to be along the lines of the framework that he already has used – a mix of rebates on bills and direct support to those people who are the poorest and most vulnerable.”</p><p>Sunak <a href="&quot;There is a fundamental difference of opinion between the two leadership candidates&quot;." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">last night vowed</a> to provide extra support for the vulnerable if he becomes prime minister.</p><p>But Truss has faced criticism for saying she would focus on reducing taxes rather than providing “handouts” for the poor.</p><p>Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab, another Sunak backer, said that approach would be an <a

Tories, Says Dominic Raab]]></title><description type="html"><![CDATA[<div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f211ca1f0000e6028b4a98.jpeg?ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt="Dominic Raab has hit out at fellow cabinet member Liz Truss." data-caption="Dominic Raab has hit out at fellow cabinet member Liz Truss." data-credit-link-back="" data-credit="Stefan Rousseau - PA Images via Getty Images" />Dominic Raab has hit out at fellow cabinet member Liz Truss.</div><div class="content-list-component text"><p>Liz Truss’s plans to prioritise tax cuts over “handouts” to the poorest households would be “an electoral suicide note” for the Conservatives, according to Dominic Raab.</p><p>The justice secretary said the Tories would be “cast into the impotent oblivion of opposition” under her approach.</p><p>His comments mark a clear escalation in the civil war raging within the Conservative Party as Truss and Rishi Sunak battle it out to succeed Boris Johnson.</p><p>Asked how she would tackle the cost of living crisis, Truss told the Financial Times: “The way I would do things is in a Conservative way of lowering the tax burden, not giving out handouts.”</p><p>By contrast, Sunak has said <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rishi-sunak-cost-of-living-hand-out_uk_62f16bcee4b0da5ec0f6ec26">he would apply the same formula</a> he used when he was chancellor and announced direct help through things like rebates on energy bills and cuts to council tax.</p><p>Writing in The Times, Raab - who is backing Sunak’s leadership bid - said: “If we go to the country in September with an emergency budget that fails to measure up to the task, voters will not forgive us as they see their living standards eroded and the financial security they cherish disappear before their eyes.</p><p>“Such a failure will read unmistakenly to the public like an electoral suicide note and see our great party cast into the impotent oblivion of opposition.”</p><p><a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rishi-sunak-backers-accuse-liz-truss-of-neglecting-poorest-and-most-vulnerable_uk_62f1fd33e4b0acf9d001226b">Mark Harper</a>, another Sunak supporter, told Sky News that he agreed with Raab’s comments.</p><p>He said Truss’s proposals would give a £1,800 tax cut to the <a role="link" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/politics/" data-vars-item-name="prime minister" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-unit-name="62f1fd33e4b0acf9d001226b" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body"

data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-position-in-subunit="2">prime minister</a>, but only £59 to someone working full time on the national living wage, and “nothing at all” for pensioners.</p><p>Harper said: “I think… if she were elected and she weren’t to help the poorest and most vulnerable people in society, which is what she said – she said she’s not going to give them direct support – then I think that would be enormously damaging to our prospects.”</p><p>But Paul Scully MP, who is supporting Truss, hit back: “I don’t think the language of ‘electoral suicide’ is helpful in any way. It’s important we remain positive on what each team are doing.”</p><p>Responding to Sunak’s plans to tackle the cost of living last night, a Truss campaign source said: ”“The question for Rishi on the economics of his new handout pledges is: how is he going to fund these new promises?</p><p>“Three weeks ago he was saying more borrowing was irresponsible and inflationary. Has he changed his mind? It’s feels like another big U-turn. How can Rishi’s borrowing not be inflationary, but Liz’s tax cuts are?</p><p>“Intellectually it’s as watertight as a sieve.”</p><p></p><p></p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries

it faces.</p><p>She said: “I’m not making any comments about other candidates in the race but the fact is there are too many people in the establishment of this country who want to talk our country

that left her vehicle “engulfed in flames” a representative has confirmed.</p><p>Heche, 53, was taken to hospital following the incident on Friday morning in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles and remains in a critical condition.</p><p>She is the former partner of US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres – the pair began dating in 1997 before separating in 2000 – and is known for films including Donnie Brasco, Cedar Rapids and the 1998 Psycho remake.</p><p>“Previous reports stating that Anne Heche was stable were inaccurate,” a spokesperson told the PA news agency.</p><p>“Shortly after the accident, Anne became unconscious, slipping into a coma and is in critical condition.</p><p>“She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention.”</p><p>Pictures and video footage obtained by US media outlet TMZ following the incident showed Ms Heche driving a blue Mini Cooper, which was later pictured severely damaged at the scene.</p><p>The vehicle struck a two-storey home and “erupted in heavy fire” according to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).</p><p>“59 firefighters took 65 minutes to access, confine and fully extinguish the stubborn flames within the heavily damaged structure,” an LAFD report stated.</p><p>“One female adult (was) found within the vehicle, who has been taken to an area hospital by LAFD Paramedics in critical condition.”</p><p>The LAFD also confirmed to the PA news agency that the vehicle had driven 30ft into the residence but that the home’s occupant had escaped without injury.</p><p>The building was left “uninhabitable”, spokesman Brian Humphrey added.</p></div>]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/anne-heche-in-a-coma-after-la-car-crash-representative-confirms_uk_62f20b9ce4b0133dd5b23f49</link><source_id>62f20b9ce4b0133dd5b23f49</source_id><guid

href="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/ashton-kutcher" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ashton Kutcher</a> has revealed he was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder nearly two years ago that left him unable to see or hear for an extended period of time.</p><p>“Like, two years ago, I had a weird, super-rare form of vasculitis that knocked out my vision, knocked out my hearing and knocked out all my equilibrium,” the actor said on a new episode of National Geographic’s Running Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge, according to an excerpt obtained by <a href="https://www.accessonline.com/articles/ashton-kutcher-reveals-autoimmune-disorder-left-him-unable-to-see-hear-or-walk-lucky-to-be-alive-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Access Hollywood</a>.</p><p>“It took me like a year to build it all back up. You don’t really appreciate it until it’s gone, until you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to see again; I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to hear again; I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to walk again.’”</p><p>“Lucky to be alive,” he added.</p><p>Vasculitis is the name of a group of rare autoimmune diseases that cause inflammation of blood vessels, <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vasculitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20363435#:~:text=Vasculitis%20involves%20inflammation%20of%20the,most%20of%20them%20are%20rare." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according to the Mayo Clinic</a>. It can lead to thickening of the walls of blood vessels, restricted blood flow and damaged organs and tissues. The condition might affect just one organ or several, and it can be short-term or long-lasting.</p><p>When affecting the eyes and ears, symptoms can include abrupt hearing loss, double vision or temporary and permanent blindness in one or both eyes, the Mayo Clinic reports.</p><p>The exact cause of vasculitis isn’t fully known, but some types have been linked to genetics while others occur when the immune system attacks blood vessels by mistake after being triggered by other diseases or infections.</p><p>“The minute you start seeing your obstacles as things that are made for you to give you what you need, then life starts to get fun,” Ashton said of facing adversity. “You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them.”</p><p><em>Watch below...</em></p></div><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Sxdti2eB-Ow?rel=0" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen scrolling="no" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;"></iframe></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">READ MORE:</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ashton-kutcher-take-a-shower-chants-espn-video_uk_613db33ee4b0640100a5c294"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/613db3c2410000eef5838f8a.png?cache=bgFAO1P5Cm" aria-label="Ashton Kutcher Gets A Shower Of ‘Take A Shower’ Chants During Live US TV Appearance" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ashton-kutcher-take-a-shower-chants-espn-video_uk_613db33ee4b0640100a5c294" aria-label="Ashton Kutcher Gets A Shower Of ‘Take A Shower’ Chants During Live US TV Appearance">Ashton Kutcher Gets A Shower Of ‘Take A Shower’ Chants During Live US TV Appearance</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/mila-kunis-ashton-kutcher-space-virgin_uk_60f2a73ce4b022142cf892be"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/60f1d56e4100000e6581b7cd.jpeg?cache=Ok7ItgOgqG" aria-label="Mila Kunis Shut Down Husband Ashton Kutcher’s Attempt To Fly To Space" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/mila-kunis-ashton-kutcher-space-virgin_uk_60f2a73ce4b022142cf892be" aria-label="Mila Kunis Shut Down Husband Ashton Kutcher’s Attempt To Fly To Space">Mila Kunis Shut Down Husband Ashton Kutcher’s Attempt To Fly To Space</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ashton-kutcher-vasculitis-disease_uk_62f20a18e4b001e175d6eb87</link><source_id>62f20a18e4b001e175d6eb87</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f20a18e4b001e175d6eb87</guid><dc:creator>Josie Harvey</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

It was such a loss for me not to be able to see them like everyone else.”</p><p>Peter, of course, successfully adapted <span role="heading" aria-level="1">J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved trilogy over three films ― The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King ― paving the way for large-scale fantasy genre productions over the next two decades.</span></p><p>The franchise boasted a nearly $3 billion worldwide box office gross and garnered immense critical acclaim for Peter, who ultimately won Academy Awards in the Best Picture and Best Director categories for the final film.</p><p>But as an avid fan of the source material, he reiterated that he could never fully appreciate his work.</p><p>“I actually did seriously consider going to some hypnotherapy guy to hypnotise me to make me forget about the films and the work I had done over the last six or seven years so I could sit and enjoy them,” he said.</p><p>The New Zealand director said he even contacted famous British illusionist Derren Brown to help him on his own unexpected journey but ultimately didn’t “follow through with it.”</p><p> The director went on to helm three more films in the Tolkein-verse, including The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as well as its sequels, The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies.</p><p>But when Amazon began<a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/first-look-at-lord-of-the-rings-prequel-series_n_62099736e4b0328e0028361b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> developing its own Lord of the Rings series,</a> titled The Rings of Power, which arrives on the streaming service next month, Peter claimed he was ghosted by the production. </p><p>“They asked me if I wanted to be involved ― [writer and producer Fran Walsh] and I ― and I said, ‘That’s an impossible question to answer without seeing a script,’” he told <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/peter-jackson-amazon-lord-of-the-rings-tv-series-1235193692/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Hollywood Reporter</a>. “So they said, ‘As soon as we get the first couple scripts, we’ll send them to you.’ And the scripts never showed up. That’s the last thing I heard, which is fine. No complaints at all.”</p><p>The one silver lining, however, is that Peter will get watch the series, which is set thousands of years before the events of Tolkien’s trilogy, with fresh eyes. </p><p>“I’ll be watching it,” he added. “I’m not the sort of guy who wishes ill will. Filmmaking is hard enough. If somebody makes a good film or TV show, it’s something to celebrate. The one thing I am looking forward to is actually seeing it as a perfectly neutral viewer.”</p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">MORE ENTERTAINMENT:</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jacob-elordi-netflix-smoking_uk_62f2070ce4b0acf9d0012d4b"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f14eef2300006e0030b6a7.jpeg?cache=KHuyiL44je" aria-label="Jacob Elordi Says He Went 'To War' With Netflix Over Kissing Booth Smoking" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jacob-elordi-netflix-smoking_uk_62f2070ce4b0acf9d0012d4b" aria-label="Jacob Elordi Says He Went 'To War' With Netflix Over Kissing Booth Smoking">Jacob Elordi Says He Went 'To War' With Netflix Over Kissing Booth Smoking</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/john-travolta-pays-tribute-to-olivia-newton-john_uk_62f16e96e4b09fecea50744b"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f16ee51f000031008b4a30.jpeg?cache=ifYIhFVvlL" aria-label="John Travolta Shares Beautiful Tribute To Grease Co-Star Olivia Newton-John Following Her Death" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/john-travolta-pays-tribute-to-olivia-newton-john_uk_62f16e96e4b09fecea50744b" aria-label="John Travolta Shares Beautiful Tribute To Grease Co-Star Olivia Newton-John Following Her Death">John Travolta Shares Beautiful Tribute To Grease Co-Star Olivia Newton-John Following Her Death</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/strictly-come-dancing-2022-line-up-contestants-celebrities_uk_62ecfeece4b0da5ec0f3dc6a"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62ed0d7d2400001f00c3253e.jpg?cache=HeeXdzc9lY" aria-label="Here Are All The Celebs Who Have Been Announced For This Year's Strictly Come Dancing So Far" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/strictly-come-dancing-2022-line-up-contestants-celebrities_uk_62ecfeece4b0da5ec0f3dc6a" aria-label="Here Are All The Celebs Who Have Been Announced For This Year's Strictly Come Dancing So Far">Here Are All The Celebs Who Have Been Announced For This Year's Strictly Come Dancing So Far</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/peter-jackson-wanted-hypnotherapy-forget-lord-of-the-rings_uk_62f20858e4b0133dd5b23807</link><source_id>62f20858e4b0133dd5b23807</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f20858e4b0133dd5b23807</guid><dc:creator>Cole Delbyck</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

His character smokes in the novel, so the actor wanted the same to be true in his portrayal ― to no avail. </p><p>“I remember saying, ’He smokes in the book. I need to smoke. He needs to have cigarettes.

It was difficult to not have that cigarette holder.” </p><p>“I was so excited to have that green plume of smoke in there, but it was not possible,” Emma added. “I don’t want to promote smoking, but I’m also not trying to promote skinning puppies.” </p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">READ MORE:</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/colin-farrell-the-penguin-batman-smoke_uk_6218b751e4b0afc668bec3c8"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/6218b96c250000a1652b2c47.jpg?cache=Wrvk6USyov" aria-label="Colin Farrell 'Fought Valiantly' To Keep One Of The Penguin's Trademarks In The Batman, To No Avail" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/colin-farrell-the-penguin-batman-smoke_uk_6218b751e4b0afc668bec3c8" aria-label="Colin Farrell 'Fought Valiantly' To Keep One Of The Penguin's Trademarks In The Batman, To No Avail">Colin Farrell 'Fought Valiantly' To Keep One Of The Penguin's Trademarks In The Batman, To No Avail</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/movie-actor-transformations-colin-farrell-the-batman_uk_5f86c093c5b6c4bb5471673a"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/5f87f3981f00005fa10c1ee2.jpeg?cache=44UJ9IaHCt" aria-label="21 Incredible Movie Transformations That Left These Hollywood Stars Unrecognisable" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/movie-actor-transformations-colin-farrell-the-batman_uk_5f86c093c5b6c4bb5471673a" aria-label="21 Incredible Movie Transformations That Left These Hollywood Stars Unrecognisable">21 Incredible Movie Transformations That Left These Hollywood Stars Unrecognisable</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cruella-film-emma-stone-disney_uk_60b5ee09e4b0f2a82eedda70"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/60b5eede240000840b0953c1.jpg?cache=uxBTkP18bM" aria-label="Emma Stone Explains Why One Of Cruella's Trademarks Is Missing From New Disney Film" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cruella-film-emma-stone-disney_uk_60b5ee09e4b0f2a82eedda70" aria-label="Emma Stone Explains Why One Of Cruella's Trademarks Is Missing From New Disney Film">Emma Stone Explains Why One Of Cruella's Trademarks Is Missing From New Disney Film</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jacob-elordi-netflix-smoking_uk_62f2070ce4b0acf9d0012d4b</link><source_id>62f2070ce4b0acf9d0012d4b</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f2070ce4b0acf9d0012d4b</guid><dc:creator>Carly Ledbetter</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

But when you start getting dressed, you notice vast swaths of previously covered-up skin that stand out in blinding contrast to your more tanned bits. </span><span style="font-weight:400">Perhaps, right as you’re strapping on a lovely new pair of sandals, you see a line where your socks end. Or maybe your face has pale sections left that sunglasses and ball caps once shielded. And, oh, how those spaghetti straps show off your white shoulders and tanned forearms, with a short-sleeve top separating them.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">What can you do – fast – to fix the situation, and how can you avoid it in the future? Our experts are here to help. And, as it turns out, they’ve felt your pain. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">“I live in Australia, so there are lots of very harsh tan lines on people here,” says</span><span style="font-weight:400">Michelle Wong</span><span style="font-weight:400">, the cosmetic chemist</span><span style="font-weight:400"> behind the popular blog <a href="https://www.instagram.com/labmuffinbeautyscience/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lab Muffin</a>. “When I was in school, I always had a sock tan. And I’ve also had some really strong tan lines in summer where I’ve forgotten to reapply sunscreen.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">“I’ve experienced farmer’s tans personally, and I’ve seen prominent tan lines on models that I’ve had to correct during photo shoots,” says celebrity makeup artist</span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jamiebeaute/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight:400">Jamie Dorman</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">. “It’s a problem that can be hard to fix in post-production and can be even more glaring in photos.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Even if you’ve managed to escape a farmer’s tan personally, tan lines can still happen to those you love. “I tell my husband  to wear his SPF and reapply, but after a day of sun exposure in the backyard or on the boat, he has a noticeable tan line on his lower neck and arms,” says</span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/joietavernise/"><span style="font-weight:400">Joie Tavernise</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">, aesthetician and brand founder of</span><a href="https://jtavclinicalskincare.com/"><span style="font-weight:400">JTAV Clinical Skincare</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">. “It makes me cringe.”</span></p></div><div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62e7f1022700003500ba0400.jpeg?cache=4O1jsG7ArG&ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt="These tans lines aren't necessarily the best accessory for that strappy wedding guest dress." data-caption="These tans lines aren't necessarily the best accessory for that strappy wedding guest dress." data-credit-link-back="" data-credit="Joel Carillet via Getty Images" />These tans lines aren't necessarily the best accessory for that strappy wedding guest dress.</div><div class="content-list-component text"><h3><strong>Emergency fix No. 1: foundation (the best option)</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400">For Dorman, foundation is the most effective and the quickest solution. But before you even get started with foundation, you’ll want to exfoliate. “I recommend beginning by exfoliating the body part you’re going to put makeup on, even the parts that won’t need makeup, to create an even-textured surface and make blending easier,” Dorman says. “You might find that a chemical exfoliant is gentler than a scrub, and lotion is a good choice for dry skin.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Which foundation to use? “I recommend colour-matching foundation to the colour of your tan with body makeup,”</span><span style="font-weight:400"> Dorman says. “It has a natural appearance, and it sets in place for all-day wear. I also recommend a </span>body coverage mitt<span style="font-weight:400"> to make application even and to keep makeup from getting under your nails.”</span></p><h3><strong>Emergency fix No. 2: Self-tanner (this one’s a bit tougher to get right)</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400">If you want something more lasting, consider self-tanner, although it does have its critics. “I once tried to even out a farmer’s tan with sunless tanner,” Dorman says. “It ended up looking ridiculous, because the shade of the sunless tanner was different from the shade of my tan.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">If you want to give it a try, your first decision is: All over, or just on the pale spots? “You can try using it all over to try to make the contrast less obvious, but a more effective method is to just apply fake tan to the light areas,” Wong said. “If you don’t go to a professional spray tanner, you can try it yourself with a mitt or a makeup brush, if you’re up for the challenge. But be aware that this can be a bit tricky if the colour doesn’t match your natural tan or if the lines are quite complex. Make sure you exfoliate the area first with a gentle scrub so you get an even finish. Keep the skin dry until it has a chance to absorb the tanner.”</span></p><h3><strong>Prevention for next time</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400">“Prevention is better than trying to fix it afterward, since tans can take a long time to fade,” Wong says. “Remember to reapply sunscreen regularly when you’re in the sun. You can set an alarm to help remind you, and sun-protective clothing is a good option, too.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Tavernise shares ideas for products you’ll be more likely to reapply: “In my bag, I always have a powder sunscreen. It’s like a high-performance SPF and absorbs oil on the face without feeling heavy, and it’s great for touch-ups during the day. In my car, I keep a mineral sunscreen mist and spray for reapplication on my décolletage, arms and hands. I love sunscreen sticks and buy them for my dad, who is out all day in the sun, to keep in his pocket.”</span></p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">Related...</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/hypoallergenic-sun-creams-sensitive-enough-for-you-and-your-kids_uk_62cc211be4b04516846563e8"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62d15cb8220000a94d4f9506.jpg?cache=DjkbgbB3fn" aria-label="14 Hypoallergenic Sun Creams Sensitive Enough For You And Your Kids" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/hypoallergenic-sun-creams-sensitive-enough-for-you-and-your-kids_uk_62cc211be4b04516846563e8" aria-label="14 Hypoallergenic Sun Creams Sensitive Enough For You And Your Kids">14 Hypoallergenic Sun Creams Sensitive Enough For You And Your Kids</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/how-to-water-garden-during-hosepipe-ban_uk_62f0dfc7e4b0ecfe3f722f45"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f0f5e32300003d00d47e37.jpeg" aria-label="Here's How To Care For Your Garden During The Heatwave And Hosepipe Ban" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/how-to-water-garden-during-hosepipe-ban_uk_62f0dfc7e4b0ecfe3f722f45" aria-label="Here's How To Care For Your Garden During The Heatwave And Hosepipe Ban">Here's How To Care For Your Garden During The Heatwave And Hosepipe Ban</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/when-will-the-heatwave-end_uk_62f0bbd8e4b0c550161b6529"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f0d5d22300005a00fd54a6.jpeg?cache=tcCczcP1py" aria-label="When Is This Latest UK Heatwave Going To End?" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/when-will-the-heatwave-end_uk_62f0bbd8e4b0c550161b6529" aria-label="When Is This Latest UK Heatwave Going To End?">When Is This Latest UK Heatwave Going To End?</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/how-to-hide-the-worst-tan-lines_uk_62f123a3e4b0ecfe3f72a358</link><source_id>62f123a3e4b0ecfe3f72a358</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f123a3e4b0ecfe3f72a358</guid><dc:creator>Julie Kendrick</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

What has been a staple in many Eastern diets is now becoming a health trend around the world ― even your neighbourhood cafes are expanding their menus to include turmeric-boosted <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/turmeric-skin-care_l_61b18b36e4b089ee1c2f5053" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">golden milk lattes</a> and gingery immunity booster shots. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">But what if you feel bloated after ingesting spicy foods and drinks, or lie sleepless with heartburns and ulcers at night? Learning which spices are most beneficial to consume, and at what times of the day, may help alleviate discomfort and offer more long-term advantages. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">“Something that works for most people may not work for you,” said registered dietician nutritionist </span><a href="https://yaqutullahrdn.com/"><span style="font-weight:400">YaQutullah Ibraheem Muhammad</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">. “Dieticians look at the client’s current circumstances and health challenges – what they want to normalise, their health goals, etc. ― and then find the best solutions for them.” She advises people not to take blind recommendations before analysing their own conditions.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Before starting any new diet, consult with an experienced professional, especially if you are taking prescription medications. Certain drugs counteract when taken too close together with spices, and individualised plans will indicate your spice tolerance and needs. But here are a few general guidelines to consider.</span></p><h3><strong>The Best Time Of Day To Absorb Nutrients From Spices</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400">“Earlier in the day is better, as your body has more time to absorb the nutrients from spices,” said registered dietician </span><a href="https://lalsupriyas.wixsite.com/website"><span style="font-weight:400">Supriya Lal</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">. As the day goes on, some people find it harder to tolerate spices and may get heartburn. And if you have hernia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), you will be more prone to having issues with spices any time of the day. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Sometimes the most beneficial way to eat a spice can be specific to each type of spice. Herbal teas that contain </span><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/breastfeeding/fenugreek-breastfeeding"><span style="font-weight:400">fenugreek seeds</span></a>, for example,<span style="font-weight:400"> can help lactating mothers make milk when consumed before bedtime. Zesty </span><a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/ginger-benefits"><span style="font-weight:400">ginger</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> is often consumed after meals for digestive support and to ward off nausea. Earthy and sweet </span><a href="https://health.clevelandclinic.org/benefits-of-cinnamon/"><span style="font-weight:400">cinnamon</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> may help reduce blood sugar levels and add flavour to a morning cup of tea or bowl of oatmeal. A pinch of </span><a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/kalonji-nigella-seeds"><span style="font-weight:400">kalonji</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> (Nigella seeds) taken with water, a smoothie or oatmeal can help lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar and prevent inflammation.</span></p><p><a href="https://yogaandayurvedaliving.com/"><span style="font-weight:400">Diana Bellofatto</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">, an Ayurveda consultant, recommends preparing your body for spices by activating your digestive enzymes. You can do this simply by drinking <a href="https://health.clevelandclinic.org/7-reasons-to-start-your-day-with-lemon-water-infographic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">warm water with lemon</a> in the morning.  </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Bellofatto and other Ayurvedic experts base their strategy on findings from the </span><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ayurveda-diet-eating_l_5fea85dfc5b6acb5345a5e97?ilvh"><span style="font-weight:400">traditional Hindu system of medicine</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">, which says every individual has a different constitution that can be broadly categorised into three types of energies or </span><span style="font-weight:400">doshas</span><span style="font-weight:400">, namely </span><span style="font-weight:400">vata, kapha</span><span style="font-weight:400"> and </span><span style="font-weight:400">pitta</span><em><span style="font-weight:400"> (y</span></em><span style="font-weight:400">ou can take a </span><a href="https://artoflivingretreatcenter.org/ayurveda/which-ayurveda-type-are-you-quiz/"><span style="font-weight:400">basic dosha quiz</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> to find out your predominant energy), and each group should stick to their own recommended spice blends. Typically, it’s believed that spices should be taken first thing in the morning for reproductive issues, with meals for digestion and after meals for mindfulness. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Muhammad advised another framework. “Instead of the time of the day, you may want to look at what you are cooking,” she said. Muhammad pointed out that civilisations have been cooking certain combinations of produce and proteins with spices, not just to add more flavour, but because they creatively add nutrients that can have health benefits. For example, cinnamon in lamb or chicken reduces the need for excess salt to help manage hypertension; or if you need to deal with inflammation, cayenne, turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties. </span></p><h3><span style="background-color:initial;font-size:21.996px"><strong>What’s Better, Whole Spices Or Dried Powders?</strong></span></h3><p>“Whole food forms of spices always have the best digestive properties, as they are more potent, so your first choice should be to consume fresh, whole spices, either raw, or cooked with meals,” Lal said. You are also likely to use spices more often (such as fresh ginger and turmeric root) when purchased raw, since they are perishable. Also, powdered spices tend to lose their potency after a few months, so check the expiration date and throw away any spices that have been on the shelf for longer than six months. </p></div><div><img src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62e92f0e2600003e00984be9.jpeg?ops=scalefit_630_noupscale" alt="Powdered spices lose their potency after a few months, so always be sure to check the date on your containers." data-caption="Powdered spices lose their potency after a few months, so always be sure to check the date on your containers." data-credit-link-back="" data-credit="Pawel Toczynski via Getty Images" />Powdered spices lose their potency after a few months, so always be sure to check the date on your containers.</div><div class="content-list-component text"><p><span style="font-weight:400">Mixing spices with other ingredients can make them even more powerful. For example,</span><span style="font-weight:400">by consuming black pepper with turmeric, the absorption of</span><a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/turmeric-and-black-pepper"><span style="font-weight:400">curcumin, an antioxidant, increases by 2,000%.</span></a> Likewise, cardamom and tulsi (holy basil) are an Ayurvedic remedy used to <a href="https://www.lybrate.com/topic/10-ayurvedic-remedies-to-treat-acidity/12e338c3a3688865f5837bf164b447b2">reduce the acidity</a> in caffeinated drinks.<span style="font-weight:400"></span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Your schedule may not allow you the time to home cook nutritious, spice-enhanced meals every day, in which case, it is fine to purchase organic pre-made spice mixes. Bellofatto recommends eating 1/2 teaspoon of the classic Ayurvedic blend (cumin, coriander, fennel, ginger and cardamom) before or after meals to maintain overall health, vitality and balance in the digestive tract. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Muhammad warns against “nutrient-dense, superfood, spice supplements” powders and pills as they are not FDA-approved, and often contain fillers as well as traces of gluten. Gelatin cased herbal capsules may not be appropriate for Halal diets. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">“Health bars and immune boosters are great, but sometimes they have too many ingredients and your body cannot process everything at once,” Bellofatto said. Herbal teas, elixir shots and spicy green smoothies are more accessible today ― if you’re on the go and need an extra dose, sprinkle your own spice mix on your drink or meal. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">For an average healthy individual, spices can be easily incorporated in the daily diet. But if you have certain health goals in mind, speak to a registered nutritionist and find out the right solution for you. </span></p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">Related...</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/best-breakfast-foods-for-every-age-range_uk_62ed3653e4b0c5501619e196"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62e2d110210000a6b35f10c2.jpeg" aria-label="The Best Breakfast Foods To Eat At Each Age Of Your Life" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/best-breakfast-foods-for-every-age-range_uk_62ed3653e4b0c5501619e196" aria-label="The Best Breakfast Foods To Eat At Each Age Of Your Life">The Best Breakfast Foods To Eat At Each Age Of Your Life</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/eating-with-your-mouth-open-makes-food-taste-better_uk_62de73e4e4b0a6852c39fd83"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62de79dc25000061c23310a9.jpg" aria-label="Forget Table Manners, This Is Why You Should Eat With Your Mouth Open" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/eating-with-your-mouth-open-makes-food-taste-better_uk_62de73e4e4b0a6852c39fd83" aria-label="Forget Table Manners, This Is Why You Should Eat With Your Mouth Open">Forget Table Manners, This Is Why You Should Eat With Your Mouth Open</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/marmite-could-help-quell-anxiety-vitamin-b6_uk_62d66e0de4b0116f21bfec45"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62d675682100009aa35f04eb.jpeg" aria-label="Love It Or Hate It, Marmite Could Actually Help With Your Anxiety" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/marmite-could-help-quell-anxiety-vitamin-b6_uk_62d66e0de4b0116f21bfec45" aria-label="Love It Or Hate It, Marmite Could Actually Help With Your Anxiety">Love It Or Hate It, Marmite Could Actually Help With Your Anxiety</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/why-spices-upset-your-stomach_uk_62f12f03e4b00f4cf23c701e</link><source_id>62f12f03e4b00f4cf23c701e</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f12f03e4b00f4cf23c701e</guid><dc:creator>Sucheta Rawal</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

Most acquaintances fell out of your life, while a true relationship took work. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">But today, Rosen said, social media allows us to “accrue these large caches of quote-unquote friends.” We communicate through what Rosen refers to as “non-directed self-disclosure,” as individuals post thoughts and pictures, but not aimed at any specific person. “It’s less contextual,” he said. “And it sits there persistently.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">This voluntarily allows anyone connected to you to reach into your history, said Rosen, which is very different from actual stalking, which he defined as “observing someone’s behaviours or communication without them knowing, in a nefarious way.” Real stalking doesn’t involve permission, but with social media, Rosen asked, “how can you be violating somebody’s privacy while you’re looking at something they shared publicly and you’re connected as friends?”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">People social media stalk for various reasons, said Ebony Butler, a psychologist and the creator of </span><a href="https://www.mytherapycards.com/?r_done=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight:400">My Therapy Cards</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">. “People stalk to check up on people who they may not otherwise check up on in real life,” she said. They are searching for a feeling of nostalgia, or maybe “for comparison, comparing your life with somebody else’s life and what they’re doing versus what I’m doing.”</span></p></div><blockquote class="content-list-component pull-quote">
              It’s important to remember there’s probably a good reason some people you knew are no longer in your life.
            </blockquote><div class="content-list-component text"><p><span style="font-weight:400">But if you find yourself getting frustrated and upset, Paula Durlofsky, a psychologist and the author of “</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Logged-Stressed-Out-Social-Affecting/dp/1538126672?tag=huffuk-21&amp;ascsubtag=62f12c6de4b0c550161c2d7d,-1,-1,rss,0,0,hp-fil-am=0,0:0,0,0,0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight:400">Logged In and Stressed Out: How Social Media is Affecting Your Mental Health and What You Can Do About It</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">,” said you should ask yourself, “Why am I looking at somebody’s profile that I haven’t seen for a while or from a relationship that went bad? Why now?” </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">You will realise that your behaviour is filling some need that isn’t being filled in your real life, some unresolved conflict or emotion, she said. The work that needs to be done isn’t between you and the person you are stalking, but within yourself.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Social media stalking can be beneficial, said Britt Frank, a psychotherapist and the author of “</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Science-Stuck-Britt-Frank/dp/1472293908?tag=huffuk-21&amp;ascsubtag=62f12c6de4b0c550161c2d7d,-1,-1,rss,0,0,hp-fil-am=0,0:0,0,0,0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight:400">The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">,” because it allows you to explore people’s pages and recognise what you have in common. If you have social anxiety, that information can allow you to feel more comfortable when you interact with people in person.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Social media stalking can also help people socially and professionally because of what Michael Stefanone, a professor of communications at the University of Buffalo and an author featured in “The Social Media Debate,” calls “network awareness.” The better you are connected to people through social media, the more you will know where your social capital lies and be able to tap into its resources.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Social media stalking becomes a problem when you find yourself “down the rabbit hole and clicking things,” Frank said, with an “increased need for more and more and continued use despite negative consequences.” She recommends taking inventory of how much time you are spending doing it, and asking yourself, “Are the four hours you spent stalking your ex-ex-ex’s new girlfriend hours that you could be using for other things that would better your life?”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Take note of how you feel after digging around, advised Butler. “Do you feel like, ‘OK, all of my informational needs have now been satisfied and now I am ready to move on with my life?’ It’s a negative if you’re so obsessed with someone else’s life that it comes at the expense of curating and crafting and building your own.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Asking questions can lead to learning important information about yourself, said Frank. “What people are you looking at? What do they all have in common?” Envy can teach you about your interests and wants, she said. “If you’re constantly looking at ex-classmates of yours who live in the country, great. Let’s examine if there’s a part of you that maybe wants to live in the country.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">It’s important to remember there’s probably a good reason some people you knew are no longer in your life, said Durlofsky. Recognise that you are yearning for connection, and “the work is to maintain the drive to connect with a healthier individual” than the one you’re no longer close to but checking out on social media.</span></p><h3><strong>It triggers an anxiety that you really don’t need to feel</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400">If not for social media stalking, social media traffic would plummet, said Rosen. “Here we have these massive profit-based corporations whose entire business model is based on getting you to share as much as you can so they better know how to sell you to advertisers.” They monitor who and what you are looking at. “We’re essentially tools,” said Rosen.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">And social media companies don’t care about the damage they are doing to people’s mental health. “If your motive is only profit, the social outcomes of your designs and decisions don’t matter,” said Rosen. “People tend to post and share the more positive and fun things about their life. … And it’s not like you have your page right next to it, looking at your own great stuff that you did.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Observing someone in real life would portray a more honest view of them,</span><span style="font-weight:400"> because you would see the other person falling on their face, messing up at work, twiddling their fingers.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">One of the main aspects of social media stalking is the shame attached to it. “People are easily embarrassed,” said Butler. They think that if they’re caught, others will judge them, especially “if we’re already judging and criticising ourselves.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">But Butler says liking a status is not that major, even though “our anxiety is always going to blow things up.” In reality, a like often only means you want to support someone: “I may not even like what you have on, but I like you as a person.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">The solution to pushing back against social media stalking anxiety is to “release ourselves from our own judgments and criticism of what we think liking a post means,” said Butler. “It was just a like, whether they noticed it or not. In the grand scheme of your life, how much does it really matter?”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">A like appears on someone’s notifications nearly instantly. You have the option to quickly unlike it, and it </span><a href="https://www.followchain.org/accidentally-like-then-unlike/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight:400">will disappear just as fast</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">. The chance of you actually getting caught is minuscule. The person you were social media stalking would need to have been using social media at that exact moment. An issue could arise if they have push notifications on, in which case they would receive a message informing them of your like. But really, who the heck allows push notifications for social media anymore? The apps would harass you all day. There are </span><a href="https://www.followchain.org/accidentally-like-then-unlike/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight:400">more extreme ways to hide after a slip</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">, such as blocking people and disabling your account, but unliking the picture probably did the job just fine.</span></p><h3><strong>If you’re worried you were caught and your mind is spiralling...</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400">If you accidentally like a status and feel the need to talk to the other person about it, Butler said to speak directly to the person and use “I” statements. She gave the example of telling them, “I have a lot of anxiety and my anxiety leads me to want to know every single thing there is to know about a person. So when that anxiety is high, I tend to look at people’s pages, even from years back, to satisfy that anxiety.”</span></p></div><blockquote class="content-list-component pull-quote">
              Worst case scenario, they know that you creeped on them. ... They’ve done it, too.<span class="attribution">Britt Frank</span></blockquote><div class="content-list-component text"><p><span style="font-weight:400">You can use it as an opportunity to grow closer with the person by just admitting that you are interested in seeing what they are up to and learning more about them. “Having that openness about it can decrease the amount of shame and guilt that comes with being caught,” said Butler.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">If you find social media is causing you stress, “stepping away from screens is an act of self-care. It’s an act of self-love,” said Durlofsky. When you feel the urge to use, she said to “take a moment and write down why and what are you feeling and what could possibly be triggering that feeling.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">At the same time, take inventory of activities other than social media that bring you joy, Durlofsky said, so “you have another destination to go to that is not social media, like reading a book or working out or writing, drawing, playing with your child, your cat. Meditating and breathing.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Butler recommends using breathing exercises if your mind is spiralling. “When you slow your breath down, you slow your thoughts down.” You should also fact-check your thoughts: Ask yourself what the likelihood is anyone saw your like. Does you liking a person’s photo really mean anything?</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">“Worst-case scenario,” said Frank, “they know that you creeped on them. Guess what, we’ve all done it. Guaranteed. They’ve done it, too.” Remember, “you can’t control other people’s perceptions. So if you accidentally like something and they know about it, if they’re not in your life, it actually doesn’t matter.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">If you really find yourself stuck, Frank recommends you find a good therapist to process it with.</span></p><h3><strong>Remember that calling it ‘stalking’ is silly, anyway</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight:400">Stalking is such a negative word. There are tons of alternative terms, some still not great but better than stalking. There’s snooping. Peeking. Butler remembers it being referred to as lurking “back in the Twitter days.” Frank, a self-proclaimed “word nerd,” prefers the term “social media viewing” because “it’s a neutral thing.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">One way to push back against the shame of social media stalking is to outwardly admit you do it, said Butler. Hit that like button on pictures and statuses widely. Spread that support to friends and acquaintances. To family members and co-workers, past and present.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">The last time I accidentally hit a like, it was on my ex-girlfriend’s post. We’d dated 20 years ago and are still close friends. The reason I freaked was because that friendship means so much to me. I had forgotten her birthday and thought it was coming soon, so I scrolled through her Instagram timeline, looking for clues to when it fell. My finger slipped, and I hearted a picture from years back. In panic, I unliked it instantly, knowing the chances of her seeing it were small. But I felt that flush of shame, so I immediately told my wife, then I told my ex-girlfriend what happened the next time I saw her in person.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Neither judged me. Neither cared. They just chuckled at me.</span></p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">Related...</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/drew-barrymore-rain-video-joy-social-media_uk_62d67d98e4b0f6913034202c"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62d6b46625000056ab33099b.jpg" aria-label="We Could All Do With Being A Bit More Drew Barrymore In The Rain" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/drew-barrymore-rain-video-joy-social-media_uk_62d67d98e4b0f6913034202c" aria-label="We Could All Do With Being A Bit More Drew Barrymore In The Rain">We Could All Do With Being A Bit More Drew Barrymore In The Rain</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/should-we-be-analysing-female-celebrities-faces_uk_62c44686e4b014f50a372f0f"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62d164b72500000d97476464.jpg?cache=OB8mLD3675" aria-label="Why Do We Love Policing Famous Woman For Plastic Surgery?" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/should-we-be-analysing-female-celebrities-faces_uk_62c44686e4b014f50a372f0f" aria-label="Why Do We Love Policing Famous Woman For Plastic Surgery?">Why Do We Love Policing Famous Woman For Plastic Surgery?</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/how-to-spot-toxic-social-media-accounts_uk_62c82c2ee4b0aa392d3e0a09"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62c71fde2500004a8532facc.jpeg" aria-label="Toxic Social Media Accounts Don't Deserve Your Follow. 8 Ways To Spot Them" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/how-to-spot-toxic-social-media-accounts_uk_62c82c2ee4b0aa392d3e0a09" aria-label="Toxic Social Media Accounts Don't Deserve Your Follow. 8 Ways To Spot Them">Toxic Social Media Accounts Don't Deserve Your Follow. 8 Ways To Spot Them</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/what-to-do-when-youre-caught-social-media-stalking-someone_uk_62f12c6de4b0c550161c2d7d</link><source_id>62f12c6de4b0c550161c2d7d</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f12c6de4b0c550161c2d7d</guid><dc:creator>Jay Deitcher</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/07/26/trump-justice-investigation-january-6/">reported</a> last month that prosecutors had asked witnesses before grand juries detailed questions about meetings Trump held after his November, 2020 election loss and what instructions he gave his attorneys regarding the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/27/us/politics/fake-electors-explained-trump-jan-6.html?name=styln-capitol-mob&amp;region=TOP_BANNER&amp;block=storyline_menu_recirc&amp;action=click&amp;pgtype=Article&amp;variant=show&amp;is_new=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fake electors plan</a>.</p><p>The Department of Justice has also issued subpoenas to senior White House officials in recent weeks, including <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pat-cipollone-subpoena-jan-6-investigation_n_62e9f262e4b0c55016152077">former White House counsel Pat Cipollone</a> and <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/marc-short-justice-department-capitol-riot_n_62df5f7ee4b081f3a902f2c8">two top aides</a> to former vice president Mike Pence.</p><p>The Justice Department investigations are separate from the ongoing investigation by the House select committee looking into the Capitol attack.

Valley, as part of the campaign to be leader of the Conservative Party and the next prime minister.</strong></div><div class="content-list-component text"><p><a href="news/Rishi-Sunak" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rishi Sunak</a> has said he will help families to get through an “extremely tough” winter with cost-of-living support, in contrast to rival <a href="news/Liz-Truss" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Liz Truss</a> resisting any “handouts”.</p><p>The former chancellor said his plan, if he becomes prime minister, involves keeping any one-off borrowing to an “absolute minimum” by pressing Whitehall departments to make savings.</p><div><p>His team said the approach would aim to replicate previous measures used to fund support for Ukraine.</p><p>This resulted in departments and devolved administrations being asked to find underspends from their capital budgets, which involves money spent on investment and things used to create future growth.</p><p>Sunak sought to keep the focus on cost of living amid renewed concerns over energy bills increasing further in the coming months and at a time when Truss has been forced on the defensive on the issue.</p><p>Last week, the Bank of England announced projections that could see inflation rise above 13% in October, while another projection found that the energy price cap could rise to £3,358 annually from October, and could hit £3,615 from January.</p><p>Foreign secretary Truss suggested at the weekend that there would be no support for hard-pressed families if she won the race for No 10, and that her priority was reducing the tax burden.</p><p>But her allies have insisted she is committed to helping families struggling with soaring bills.</p><p>Earlier, the <a href="news/Liberal-Democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Liberal Democrats</a> said October’s energy bill price cap increase should be <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/lib-dems-call-for-ps36bn-energy-bills-bail-out_uk_62f15781e4b00f4cf23cae2b">cancelled</a> by the next prime minister to help households save hundreds of pounds.</p><p>Party leader <a href="news/Ed-Davey" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ed Davey</a> said the government should cover the shortfall to energy suppliers to ensure they can supply customers at the current rates.</p><p>The party estimated the cost of the policy would be £36 billion and suggested the windfall tax on oil and gas company profits should be expanded to help cover it.</p><p>The two Tory leadership hopefuls will continue campaigning on Tuesday before a hustings session with party members in Darlington, a so-called “red wall” area turned blue under Boris Johnson’s leadership in 2019.</p><p>Sunak has labelled Truss’s plan for tax cuts in an emergency budget as a “big bung” for large businesses and the better off, adding it would do little to help those most in need over the coming winter.</p><p>On his own plans, Sunak said: “This winter is going to be extremely tough for families up and down the country, and there is no doubt in my mind that more support will be needed.</p><p>“In spring I set out a series of measures to provide help, with the most support targeted at the most vulnerable. But bills are going up by more than anyone expected and the next government will need to act.</p><p>“As chancellor I put in place a framework to support hard-working families and pensioners to bring bills down. People need proven methods that will deliver for them quickly. So I will use the framework I created to provide further support and give millions of people the peace of mind they desperately need ahead of the winter.</p><p>“I’m very clear about what is required to help people, and as soon as we know how much bills will go up by, I will act.</p><p>“And it’s important for people to know how this extra support will be paid for. In order to keep any one-off borrowing to an absolute minimum I will first seek efficiency savings across Whitehall to provide direct support for families to help with the unprecedented situation we face.”</p><p>A Truss campaign source said: “The question for Rishi on the economics of his new handout pledges is: how is he going to fund these new promises?</p><p>“Three weeks ago he was saying more borrowing was irresponsible and inflationary. Has he changed his mind? It’s feels like another big U-turn.</p><p>“How can Rishi’s borrowing not be inflationary, but Liz’s tax cuts are? Intellectually it’s as watertight as a sieve.”</p><p>It comes as Scotland’s first minister <a href="news/Nicola-Sturgeon" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nicola Sturgeon</a> called for an urgent meeting between the heads of the devolved administrations to address the cost-of-living crisis.</p><p>Meanwhile, Tony Danker, director general of the Confederation of British Industry, warned the government that it must have “all hands to the pump” as former prime minister <a href="news/Gordon-Brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gordon Brown</a> also called for swift intervention to address rising energy costs.</p><p>But Downing Street said <a href="news/Boris-Johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">﻿Johnson</a> had no plans to introduce major new fiscal measures before the end of his premiership.</p></div></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">Related...</h3><ul class="related-entries__list"><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/lib-dems-call-for-ps36bn-energy-bills-bail-out_uk_62f15781e4b00f4cf23cae2b"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f160ce23000034004f90ee.jpeg" aria-label="Lib Dems Call For £36bn Intervention To Pay For Soaring Energy Bills" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/lib-dems-call-for-ps36bn-energy-bills-bail-out_uk_62f15781e4b00f4cf23cae2b" aria-label="Lib Dems Call For £36bn Intervention To Pay For Soaring Energy Bills">Lib Dems Call For £36bn Intervention To Pay For Soaring Energy Bills</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/uk-government-in-limbo-as-no10-says-boris-johnson-wont-make-any-fiscal-interventions_uk_62f0f2c3e4b0da5ec0f63706"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f0f35a2300005b00fd54b7.jpeg?cache=LQ2PS41qIo" aria-label="UK Government In Limbo As No.10 Says Boris Johnson Won't Make Any Fiscal Interventions" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/uk-government-in-limbo-as-no10-says-boris-johnson-wont-make-any-fiscal-interventions_uk_62f0f2c3e4b0da5ec0f63706" aria-label="UK Government In Limbo As No.10 Says Boris Johnson Won't Make Any Fiscal Interventions">UK Government In Limbo As No.10 Says Boris Johnson Won't Make Any Fiscal Interventions</a></li><li class="related-entries__list__item yr-related-entry"><a class="related-entries__image" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/gordon-brown-seeing-poverty-cost-of-living-crisis-government_uk_62f0c7bae4b09fecea4f68a2"><img class="related-entries__image__src" src="https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/62f0cd732300001900fd549a.png" aria-label="Gordon Brown Says He's 'Seeing Poverty I Did Not Expect To See Again' Amid Cost Of Living Crisis" /></a><a class="related-entries__title entry__link--omit yr-card-headline" href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/gordon-brown-seeing-poverty-cost-of-living-crisis-government_uk_62f0c7bae4b09fecea4f68a2" aria-label="Gordon Brown Says He's 'Seeing Poverty I Did Not Expect To See Again' Amid Cost Of Living Crisis">Gordon Brown Says He's 'Seeing Poverty I Did Not Expect To See Again' Amid Cost Of Living Crisis</a></li></ul></div><!-- end relEntries -->]]></description><link>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rishi-sunak-cost-of-living-hand-out_uk_62f16bcee4b0da5ec0f6ec26</link><source_id>62f16bcee4b0da5ec0f6ec26</source_id><guid isPermaLink="false">62f16bcee4b0da5ec0f6ec26</guid><dc:creator>Graeme Demianyk</dc:creator><source><![CDATA[uk]]></source><dc:publisher>HuffPost -

The show is perhaps famous for two things – the galloping Out of the Blue theme tune by Hubert Bath, and the distinctive intonation of the presenters reading out the scores. </p><p>Charlotte Green took over reading the update after James Alexander Gordon, who institutionalised the practice, stepped down after 40 years in 2013. Gordon, who died a year later, once told the BBC his signature style, which transformed simple scorelines into a must-listen for many, came from his training as a musician.</p><p>He said: “I think music had a lot to do with the way I read them. I looked at these names and thought, unkindly, five minutes of that could be very boring for the listener. I thought it would be nice to make it a little different, with a bit of excitement.”</p><p>BBC bosses say the decision has been driven by the need to “condense” Sports Report because of the 5.30pm Premier League kick-offs.</p></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">With the row over the classified football results on 5 Live, let&#39;s remember the amazing James Alexander Gordon, who died 8 years ago <a href="https://t.co/vscSQP0Fo2">https://t.co/vscSQP0Fo2</a><a href="https://t.co/EZbKeI7Cdf">pic.twitter.com/EZbKeI7Cdf</a></p>&mdash; Tim Gatt (@TimGatt) <a href="https://twitter.com/TimGatt/status/1556586730844741632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 8, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><div class="content-list-component text"><h2>What has been the reaction?</h2><p>Football fans took to social media as people slowly started to realise what had happened two days earlier.

Glasser, detailed an exchange Trump had with his then-chief of staff John Kelly years before the January 6, 2021 insurrection, in an except <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/15/inside-the-war-between-trump-and-his-generals" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">published</a> by The New Yorker on Monday.</p><p>“You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?” Trump reportedly asked Kelly, referring to German generals in World War II.</p><p>To which Kelly later responded: “You do know that they tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off?”</p><p>Still, Trump — in an attempt to rewrite history — insisted those generals “were totally loyal” to Hitler. </p><p>Baker and Glasser also revealed a draft resignation letter Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, wrote following him standing alongside Trump when the former president decided to stage a photo-op at Lafayette Square holding a bible after police had fired tear gas to disperse Black Lives Matter protesters. In the end, Milley decided to stay on and never sent the letter.</p><p>“It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country. I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politicize the United States military,” Milley wrote. “I thought that I could change that. I’ve come to the realisation that I cannot, and I need to step aside and let someone else try to do that.”</p><p>Milley also accused Trump of damaging the country on the international stage.</p><p>“It is my deeply held belief that you’re ruining the international order, and causing significant damage to our country overseas, that was fought for so hard by the Greatest Generation that they instituted in 1945,” Milley added. “Between 1914 and 1945, 150 million people were slaughtered in the conduct of war.

Europe’s largest atomic plant.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">It has been under Russian control since March this year although Ukrainian technicians continue to operate inside the structure.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">The region is now being targeted by the Ukrainian forces for a counter-offensive, meaning it has been put at the frontline of the war and could come under attack.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">The UN has therefore amplified its safety concerns around the plant in recent days, especially as Russia and Ukraine traded blows over the weekend.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Here’s why this latest batch of fighting has specialists  even more concerned than before.</p><h2 data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief"><strong>What is the UN worried about?</strong></h2><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">UN secretary general Antonio Guterres explained on Monday that he thought “any attack (on) a nuclear plant is a suicidal thing”, and expressed fears there could be a repeat of the horrific 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">This nuclear accident contaminated the environment and local people for decades afterwards.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Guterres was also speaking from Japan, having attended the <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nuclear-bombs-putin-hiroshima-nagasaki_uk_62288565e4b004e4e3886eb8">Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony on Saturday</a> to honour the 77th anniversary of the world’s first atomic bombing. </p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Guterres has called for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to access the nuclear plant so that it can be stabilised and secured amid the growing violence, and wants the area to be demilitarised to prevent further disaster.</p><h2 data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief"><strong>Who is to blame for the growing violence?</strong></h2><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Kyiv and Moscow have been blaming one another for the increased shelling in the region over the recent days.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Ukraine has claimed Russian shelling hit three radiation sensors and hurt a worker on Saturday. It also alleged that the Moscow forces have made the entire site into a military base, making it harder for them to target Russian troops and equipment.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">On the other hand, Russia’s defence ministry alleges that Ukraine damaged the site through a multiple rocket launcher, hitting buildings, power lines, a water pipeline and a storage facility.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">The Russian embassy in Washington even tweeted: “Only thanks to the effective and timely actions of the Russian military in covering the nuclear power facility, its critical infrastructure was not affected.”</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Russia also accused Ukraine of putting ”the whole of Europe on the brink of nuclear catastrophe” by bombing Zaporizhzhia.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">According to Reuters, it is not currently possible to determine which side was responsible for the attack on the power station at the moment.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">But, the IAEA chief, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said that this tension “underlines the very real risk of a nuclear disaster”.</p></div><div class="content-list-component

data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Petro Kotin, head of Ukraine’s state nuclear power company Energoatom, called for peacekeepers to be deployed at the site too.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">He said: “The presence of peacekeepers in this zone and the transfer of control of it to them, and then also control of the station to the Ukrainian side would resolve this problem.”</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Kotin said if the shells hit two or more spent containers of radioactive fuel, it would be “impossible to assess the scale of this catastrophe”.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Ukraine’s ambassador to the IAEA, Yevkenii Tsymbaliuk, also called for international inspectors and said Russia was trying to cause electricity blackouts through its shelling.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of “nuclear terror” and called for more international sanctions against Moscow, this time with a focus on its nuclear sector.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">“There is no such nation in the world that could feel safe when a terrorist state fires at a nuclear plant,” the president said.</p><h2 data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief"><strong>And Russia wants an intervention, too</strong></h2><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">However, earlier reports suggested the complex was working normally.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">The Russian forces installed in the area claimed Ukrainian forces were hitting the site with a multiple rocket launcher, damaging buildings and a storage area.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal thing', warns UN chief">Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman, said the shelling was “extremely dangerous”, and<strong data-stringify-type="bold"></strong>called on the countries which he claimed “have absolute influence on the Ukrainian leadership” to rule out the continuation of such shelling.</p><p data-short-title="Ukraine war: Strikes on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a 'suicidal

During the last heatwave, sales of electric fans increased by 1,630% in a week, according to the online marketplace OnBuy. But while a fan might help cool you down, they’re not cheap to use.</p><p><a role="link" href="https://www.uswitch.com/gas-electricity/guides/which-appliances-use-the-most-energy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-vars-item-name="Uswitch" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-unit-name="62d5386be4b092a3f6be593a" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.uswitch.com/gas-electricity/guides/which-appliances-use-the-most-energy/" data-vars-target-content-type="url" data-vars-type="web_external_link" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-position-in-subunit="1">Uswitch</a> estimates that running a 120w pedestal fan can cost around 3.4p per hour, which would mean leaving the fan on between 10pm and 8am can add 33p to your energy bills a day. Do that for the rest of the week and it could add up to £2.35 – 65p more than your summer bills for the same period in 2021.</p><p>Dr Steve Buckley, head of data science at Loop, <a role="link" href="https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/cost-keeping-cool-heatwave-adds-24211711" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-vars-item-name="told Wales Online" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-unit-name="62d5386be4b092a3f6be593a" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/cost-keeping-cool-heatwave-adds-24211711" data-vars-target-content-type="url" data-vars-type="web_external_link" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-position-in-subunit="2">told Wales Online</a>: “At first glance, these costs may not seem that high on an hourly basis, but they can really add up if you’ve got a few devices running or you forget to switch them off.

London emerged as the best region for access to dental care, with close to a quarter of practices were accepting new adult patients for the NHS.</p><p>Among the practices not taking new adult patients in England, most do not even have waiting lists set up. Around 23% said they had an open waiting list while 16% said the wait time was a year or longer, or could not predict how long it would take.</p><p>Around 90% of NHS practices were not taking new adult patients in Northern Ireland. This number rose to 93% in Wales and dropped to 82% in Scotland.</p><p>The survey also found 79% of NHS practices were not accepting new child patients. </p></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"

care? </strong></h2><p>Many people cannot afford private treatment, so end up <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/dentists-appointment-uk-lockdown_uk_5eac3311c5b6995f14000f72">performing “DIY dentistry”</a>.</p><p>The BBC reported some people have been pulling out their own teeth without anaesthesia, making their own dentures or driving hundreds of miles to look for treatment.</p><p>The chair of the BDA’s general dental practice committee, Shawn Charlwood, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-62253893" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said</a>: “NHS dentistry is at a tipping point, with millions unable to get the care they need and more dentists leaving with every day that passes.”</p><p>BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle claimed: “It’s fair to say the difficulties patients are facing are unprecedented.”</p></div><div class="content-list-component text"><h2><strong>Why has this happened?</strong></h2><p>Charlwood said UK dentistry was struggling due to “years of chronic neglect” through austerity, and extra pressures from the pandemic.</p><p>Dentistry was also only free for the first three years of the NHS, so until 1951, because it was unaffordable, and a subsided service has been in place since.</p><p>Many of the UK’s NHS dentists are actually not employed by the health service directly, but are independent businesses who take on NHS contracts. </p><p>These contracts, in place since 2006 for England and Wales, are being blamed by the BDA for leaving dentists feeling unrewarded for their work.</p><p>If the dentists don’t fulfil their obligations within these contracts, the money they have been paid is taken back.</p><p>BDA board member Paul Woodhouse also told BBC Breakfast that the government was offering only 50% of the funding the UK needed to care for every patient.</p><h2><strong>How has the government responded?</strong></h2><p>The BDA has called for direct intervention from ministers, saying “nothing we’ve heard from government to date gives us any confidence this service has a future”.</p><p>It warns that the NHS dentistry will die without reform, and “our patients will pay the price”.</p><p>A spokesperson from the health and social care department said: “Improving patient access to NHS dental care is a government priority and the new reforms to the dental contract announced last month are an important step.”</p><p>They claimed this would allow “the best performing practices” to see more patients, and make better use of professionals’ expertise.</p><p>“The NHS commits around £3bn to dentistry each year and have made an extra £50m to help bust the Covid backlogs, building on the unprecedented £1.7bn support we provided during the pandemic.”</p><p>NHS England also says it has recently made changes to the contract and would “support practices to improve access, including giving high-performing practices the opportunity to increase their activity and treat more patients”.</p></div><!-- start relEntries --><div class="related-entries related-entries--thumbs related-entries--recirc yr-related-entries"><h3 class="related-entries__head">Related...</h3><ul
