  • Office for Veterans Affairs could see budget cut by 40 per cent

    The Office for Veterans Affairs (OVA) could see its budget cut by 40 per cent under plans being considered by the Treasury. On Wednesday night, the department came under pressure to scrap the plans that could reduce the OVA’s annual budget from £5 million to £3 million after a backlash from MPs and military charities. Boris Johnson was forced to intervene while addressing MPs at the Liaison Committee, insisting that “there's no decision that's been taken about the Office of Veterans Affairs”. The Prime Minister added: "We spend up to £18 million through the NHS on specific mental health services that are targeted at veterans, £10 million to support veterans' mental health charities, we have national insurance rebates, obviously subsided for those higher veterans as well as cut price, free transport for veterans on public transport – something I remember pioneering when I was mayor of London and I'm very proud we've taken that into Government as well." During the Armed Forces Bill select committee on Wednesday morning it was established that the veterans office had only spent £1.6 million out of a £5 million budget for the 2020/21 financial year. It is understood that the cabinet office discussed reducing the budget to £3 million as a result of the figures. A government source: "The position is that budget discussions are ongoing and are internal." Johnny Mercer, veterans minister, told the Armed Forces Bill select committee that the 40 per cent cut was “not the current plan”. Mr Mercer said: “We will make this country the best country in the world to be a veteran. I'm committed to that, the Prime Minister is committed to that and we will continue along that path." However, the suggested cut was described as “worrying” by some. Sir John McColl, chairman of Cobseo, the confederation of service charities, said: “If these cuts come to pass it is incompatible with the Prime Minister's pledge to make the UK the best country in the world to be a veteran. “We rely upon the Office of Veterans Affairs to provide a focus at the heart of government and a 40 per cent reduction in its capability would significantly affect the Government’s ability to provide appropriate support for veterans.” Mr McColl added: “If the suggested reduction in the OVA's budget comes to pass, it would cut the OVA off at the knees." The Help for Heroes charity said: “If this is true, we are very concerned on behalf of those we support. “We campaigned for the OVA in 2019, as we knew more needed to be done to fulfil the nation’s promise to all those who have served.”

  • Queen’s Tenth Great-Grandchild Born on the Bathroom Floor

    Alan Crowhurst/Getty ImagesQueen Elizabeth’s tenth great-grandchild was born Sunday—on the bathroom floor.Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, and her husband, the former England rugby player Mike, had not been planning a home birth but were unable to make it in time to the hospital when the baby, a boy who is 22nd in line to the throne, arrived with a minimum of pomp and circumstance.The unusually informal circumstances of the latest royal birth were disclosed by Mike Tindall on the sports podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.Mike said that after watching rugby matches all weekend: “Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house.”As his co-hosts showered him with congratulations, Tindall said he was feeling “brilliant” after the birth at 6 p.m. Sunday.At the time the podcast was recorded, the couple had not chosen a name, with Tindall saying, “We always struggle with that, we have never picked one before they arrive.” However, a spokesperson for the couple subsequently said Wednesday, “Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall.” The baby’s second name is a tribute to Prince Philip, who is due to turn 100 in June. He will have no title as Princess Anne’s children were not given “HRH” styling at her request to enable them to lead more normal lives.A Buckingham Palace spokesman said, “The queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news and look forward to meeting their 10th great-grandchild when circumstances allow.”Asked if the baby was “bonny,” Tindall said he weighed eight pounds four ounces and arrived “very quickly.”“We didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor,” he said.Asked if he was hands-on at the birth, Tindall revealed that a friend of Zara’s who had been present at the birth of the couple’s previous children was on hand again.“She was there and recognized that we wouldn’t have got to hospital in time, so yeah, it was running to the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get the mat on the floor, towels down, brace, brace, brace.”Tindall added, “Fortunately the midwife who was going to meet us at the hospital wasn’t that far away so she drove up, and got there just as we’d assumed the position. The second midwife arrived just after the head had arrived!”Mike said, “As every man would say, she was a warrior, they always are, we can never judge a woman in terms of what they have to go through in childbirth. She was back up, we went for a walk this morning with him and it’s all good.”Tindall said he cut the cord: “I was literally like, ‘Snip. Snip-snip. I got a boy, I’m out of here.’Tindall added, “The best thing about being at home was, as soon as he’s wrapped up, skin on skin, [we went] straight downstairs, TV room, golf on, and I’m like, ‘This is what you and me are doing.’”He said he also watched a vintage rugby game from 1996 with his newborn son.“The training has begun already, twelve hours in,” his co-host joked.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

  • Meghan McCain Cries ‘Identity Politics’ Over Calls for Asian American Host to Replace Her on ‘The View’

    The View/ABCA conversation on The View about Asian American representation in Joe Biden’s cabinet turned personal on Wednesday when Meghan McCain used the opportunity to express her fears that “identity politics” could leave her without a job.Each of the show’s panel members seemed to agree that it was entirely appropriate for Democratic Senators Tammy Duckworth and Mazie Hirono to demand the Biden administration diversity its high-level staff, with Sunny Hostin saying she “didn’t see anything wrong with it” and Sara Haines calling it “the right thing to do.”But when it was McCain’s turn to speak, she said she “truly believes” that only the “most qualified” people should be running departments “like national security and infrastructure, things that literally are the meat and potatoes that make the country great.”“I believe what makes America exceptional is the fact that we’re a meritocracy, that you can be anything,” she continued, making an argument that completely discounted the existence of systemic racism. “That you can come from anywhere and go and have success in any capacity. And I think the question Democrats have to reconcile with right now is whether or not race and gender are more important than qualification.”Chuck Schumer Schools Meghan McCain: Your Father Would Have Given Biden a ‘Chance’If there is someone who is “more qualified who happens to be a white straight person who has more experience” in their field than a “minority with less experience,” McCain wondered, should that matter? After a digression about Asian American students supposedly being discriminated against by Harvard and a warning about a “slippery slope,” she inevitably made the discussion about herself.“Just to put a cap on this, The View is 25 years old next year. We’ve only had one Asian American host co-host this show,” McCain said, referring to Lisa Ling, who spent three years on the show from 1999-2002. “So does that mean that one of us should be leaving because there’s not enough representation? Is identity politics more important than the qualifications for the job? And I think that's a question going forward that the progressive left is going to have to reconcile.”After a break, Hostin fired back directly at her co-host, noting that while we would “all love for this country to be a meritocracy,” the reality is that it has never been one. “It’s not about gender and race being more important than qualifications,” Hostin said. “It’s about the fact that they are many qualified women and minority candidates that never get the opportunity because of the advancement of generally white male mediocrity, because of things like legacy.”The irony, of course, is that Meghan McCain’s “identity” as the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain—something that she never fails to bring up on the show—has played a defining role in her media career. But she seemed to be implying that while she got her gig purely based on “merit,” the same could not be said for any Asian American co-host that could conceivably replace her.As CNN’s Abby Phillip tweeted in response, “There have been more View co-hosts who are children of famous people than view co-hosts who are Asian. Does she really think that’s because there aren't enough Asian people with the right qualifications?”And if McCain’s defensive complaints on Wednesday sounded oddly specific, it’s because there have been multiple calls for The View to specifically replace her with an Asian American co-host over the past several days after John Oliver exposed the hypocrisy of her posting #StopAsianHate after defending Donald Trump’s use of racist terms like “China virus” almost exactly a year earlier.McCain ultimately issued an apology the day after that Last Week Tonight segment aired, tweeting, “I condemn the reprehensible violence and vitriol that has been targeted towards the Asian American community. There is no doubt Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric fueled many of these attacks and I apologize for any past comments that aided that agenda.”Now, she’s evidently worried that won’t be enough to save her job.John Oliver Exposes Meghan McCain’s ‘Stop Asian Hate’ HypocrisyRead more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
