Keir Starmer issues huge inflation warning and plots to undo Brexit | Politics | News

Published by Sam Flores

A doom-and-gloom Sir Keir Starmer said Britain could face yet more economic hardship under Labour and warned there could be an “inflation spike” triggered by the war in Iran. Speaking today (Satruday) the Prime Minister also gushed over forging greater ties with Europe and vowed to take the nation “much closer to the EU” despite the electorate voting for Brexit. Sir Keir made the warning in an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, when he was asked about the economic impact of the US-Israeli war with Iran. He said Britain’s economic situation will not all “return to normal” once the Strait of Hormuz has reopened. Sir Keir also insisted the UK must “take a different course” for its future than returning to the “status quo”, which had been pursued after other economic shocks like the 2008 financial crash and the Covid pandemic, as he sought to signal to voters that he understands their discontent. Tehran has blocked shipping out of the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the war, and has been …

Trump wants to undo Biden child care rule, citing fraud concerns : NPR

The Trump administration has proposed rolling back a Biden-era rule that sought to stabilize child care providers. Nadezhda1906/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Nadezhda1906/Getty Images Winter can be especially challenging for Michelle Wright, owner of Michelle’s Place Child Care Center, with two locations in southwestern Illinois, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. Seasonal illnesses and bad weather often keep kids home. On certain days, Wright finds herself scrambling to figure out if she’ll be able to pay her teachers. “That staff comes ready to work, maybe spent gas [money], maybe took an Uber, a bus to get here, and then six kids are out and I know the numbers are down,” she says. “I have to send that staff home.” That’s because many states, including Illinois, use their own money and federal funds to pay out child care subsidies for low-income families based on attendance. When overall attendance for the month drops below 70%, Wright stands to lose some of the income she was expecting. It’s a unique challenge for child care providers like …

An osteopath urges everyone to do this one daily stretch to undo the damage caused by prolonged sitting—it only takes three minutes

There is no single remedy that will reverse the damage done by prolonged sitting, says associate osteopath Andy McIntyre BOst MSc from The Livewell Clinic in London. “But there are two areas that, for me, take the biggest brunt from sedentary postures,” he tells Fit&Well. The first one is the hips, which he says can be addressed by practicing gentle hinging movements like good mornings and deadlifts. You may like The other pain point tends to be the “mid thoracic” area. This refers to the middle section of the spine, around the T1 to T12 of the vertebrae between the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine). “We all hunch forward when sat at a desk,” McIntyre explains. “We get kyphotic. Our shoulders drop forward. Our mid and upper back rounds.” To compensate, these vertebrae can stiffen, which further restricts the range of motion for everyday tasks. “Our bodies are very clever. To adapt to this [hunched position] joints stiffen up in our mid-back so we require less energy to hold ourselves there all …

A trainer says this is the most underrated full-body move to build strength and undo the damage of sitting

If you’re new to strength training, it can be difficult to figure out which of the dozens of exercises to choose from are worth your time. However, according to trainer Monty Simmons, there’s one move that everyone should prioritize, especially desk workers or anyone who spends hours sitting—it’s called the Romanian deadlift (RDL). Simmons says it addresses one of the key movements and positions we lose when we’re seated for a long time. You may like “When we sit all day, every day, what typically happens is that our pelvis tucks under, and we get stuck in this tucked-under pelvis position, losing the ability to properly hip hinge.” The hip hinge is important because it trains the pelvis and the thigh bone to work together smoothly, which is crucial for everyday movement. Including the RDL in your workouts is a great way to practice this movement pattern. It also helps to undo the damage of sitting. “It retrains your hips to move smoothly,” says Simmons. “If you’re bending down to pick something up, particularly if …
