LONDON — British police are investigating fresh claims of coronavirus lockdown-breaching gatherings in Westminster, in the latest twist in the Partygate scandal. The Metropolitan Police announced Tuesday that it is opening one new investigation — into a December 8, 2020 “gathering in Parliament” — and re-opening another, covering an “event in Matthew Parker Street on 14 December 2020.”The first date is the same as a gathering reportedly attended by senior Conservative MP — and Partygate inquisitor — Bernard Jenkin, according to the Guido Fawkes website.The second date matches with a controversial “jingle and mingle” event at Conservative HQ. That event, at which party aides were pictured dancing and laughing at a time social gatherings were tightly restricted, was the subject of an exposé by the Sunday Mirror.In June, Boris Johnson — who was fined for his own COVID-19 rule breaches and recently condemned by the Commons privileges committee fo...

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 15:38:10 GMT

The European Union executive on Tuesday presented a new law that would require European privacy regulators to share more information upfront in major privacy cases and more often settle such cases out of court — in an effort to speed up how its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is enforced.The European Commission suggested a set of new rules to speed up cross-border cases like the ones against Meta, Google, Amazon and others that the bloc’s privacy regulators have finished in past years as POLITICO previously reported Monday. The draft rules include sharing information earlier on to avoid last-minute haggling between authorities and nudging them to avoid litigation in court. Authorities are also asked to broadly keep investigations confidential to protect the process. “The GDPR is well enforced but we can do better,” Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said today. “We’ve seen many fines, but sometimes it’s complex and long,” he said, referring...

From inside of the single-family home’s garage, the car then accelerated and plowed through a wall, ripping off siding and striking an electric meter on the other side.“As she went forward, went into drive, [it] kind of accelerated forward,” said Chelmsford Fire Captain Danielle Koutsoufis. “I’m just thankful no one was hurt – that’s the most important thing, always.”Due to the damaged meter, authorities cut both gas and electric service to the home as workers surveyed the damage and began to make repairs.Officials said that due to recent construction work done at the home, they believed the house was still structurally sound.Crews were able to safely remove the vehicle before noon.
