'No proof' salt is bad for your health
Health officials simply say there is 'robust evidence' linking high sodium intake to higher blood pressure. But the view among the scientific community is less clear-cut, according to a new review of the studies

Millions of middle-class savers could lose out under radical pensions shake up
George Osborne warned that millions of middle-class savers will lose out under plans for a pensions Isa which will be unveiled in his Budget next month.

Middle-class savers are to lose thousands of pounds of tax relief when saving for a pension but will not have to pay tax when they retire, under radical plans set to be unveiled in the Budget.

The controversial proposal will mean that higher-rate taxpayers will lose valuable tax perks during their working lives. However, they will be able to withdraw their lifetime savings tax-free after retirement.

The proposal has sparked a Government row with the pensions minister warning that it threatens to undermine the system by removing the tax incentives for pensioners to keep money in their pot. It would allow George Osborne, the Chancellor, to save more than £10 billion annually in the coming years – although tax receipts would then fall in decades to come.

Food safety watchdog EFET said Thursday that it is recalling a yogurt sold by German supermarket chain Lidl because it has been found to contain mold.

Commons committee calls for asylum seekers to be housed in Tory shires
Voluntary dispersal scheme unfair with Glasgow, Stoke and Middlesbrough housing majority while boroughs such as Maidenhead take none, MPs say

Destitute asylum seekers should be dispersed to the Tory shires, including the home secretary’s constituency town of Maidenhead, which currently receive none at all, a Commons committee has demanded.

How Donald Trump's penis is helping his quest for the White House

In America, they say everything is bigger. Proving that the national obsession with size knows no limits of taste, last night on live TV, Republican frontrunner Donald 'Yuge' Trump openly bragged he had a big penis.

He actually did that. A man who has his eyes on the White House genuinely insinuated that he's well endowed downstairs. And even more incredibly, lots of people seem to love him for it.

Does anyone truly believe a Tory government will push "refugees" onto Tory seats?  Anyone living in a Labour seat had better watch out.
