America is going backwards when it comes to several types of cancers — despite President Joe Biden’s claim he has ‘ended cancer as we know it’.
During a confused and muddled speech on access to healthcare Tuesday – during which he claimed there was ‘no difference’ between a broken arm and a mental breakdown – he said if he could do one thing during his presidency it would be ‘cure cancer’.
He said: ‘They looked at me like, “Why cancer?”
As my father approached his 90s, the daily stack in his mailbox grew—a dozen appeals for donations some days. He was impossibly frugal with himself: frayed canvas shoes and a tattered windbreaker for all seasons. He abhorred wastefulness. He would put down the phone when solicitors called. But the entreaties for money that flooded his mailbox, including many from firefighter, law-enforcement, and veterans’ funds, typically wound up on his desk.

One million NHS nurses are set to walk out before Christmas in a decision has sparked a huge divide in Britain.
176 NHS organisations voted for strikes but even nurses themselves can’t decide if the devastating NHS-wide strikes should go ahead this winter.

The loss of plant and animal species around the world could have a devastating effect on public finances, a new study claims.
