Why you could be uninsured if you drive to workIt's a particular issue for people who use comparison websites, where the cheapest prices are naturally flagged up, yet tend to only offer cover for what's known as SDP – social, domestic and pleasure purposes."This is a growing problem," explains Paul Reddy, a motoring lawyer at Slater and Gordon in Manchester. "You can either be insured just for social, domestic and pleasure purposes or covered for commuting and business as well. So, if you’re using your car for business, or going to and from work, you may find that you’re not insured. And should the police have cause to stop you – for any reason – and discover you're not insured for your daily commute, you could receive six penalty points and a fine of up to £5,000."

Terrifyingly, according to the World Health Organisation definition the UK no longer has a NHSThe NHS Reinstatement Bill may be the final hope we have of getting our NHS back The NHS has actually been abolished.Now you may think that this is untrue. After all, you still go and see your GP or may be admitted to hospital and receive care free at the point of delivery. However, the Health & Social Care Act 2012 has abolished the NHS in legislative terms. It has achieved this through several mechanisms.It has axed the government's responsibility for the NHS. It has devolved responsibility to Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). The CCGs have no legal obligation to provide you with anything beyond emergency care - this may not be the case at present but it means that there is no legal guarantee that they will continue to do so.The NHS Reinstatement Bill... will have its second hearing in Parliament on Friday 11th March 11th. It has extensive cross-party support from 72 MPs including Green, Liberal Democrat and the SNP.This legislation would 'renationalise' the NHS and restore it to its original remit.

NHS Reinstatement Bill: Tory MPs filibuster debate by talking about deporting foreigners for hoursConservative MPs discussing a short bill to deport foreign criminals – which had already been debated before – used up available parliamentary time by talking for four and a half hours.The Foreign National Offenders (Exclusion from the UK) Bill has only two clauses and would “make provision to exclude from the UK foreign nationals found guilty of a criminal offence committed in the UK.”That Bill has already been introduced to the House in a previous session and withdrawn after it met opposition.
