PM’s plan ‘worse than being in EU’

describe his shock at discovering the scale of the danger posed by paedophiles on the internet.

The scale of the offending has prompted demands for internet giants to take more action. ONE in four student nurses are dropping out of their degrees before graduation, figures show.

Data obtained by nursing journal Nursing Standard and the Health Foundation indicates that of 16,544 UK nursing students who began threeyear degrees due to finish in 2017, 4,027 left their courses early or suspended their studies.

The health service is struggling to cope with a massive shortage of nurses – it’s estimated there are 40,000 vacant posts in England alone. A MAN who has been waiting for a heart transplant for almost a decade has made a desperate plea to potential donors.

Gareth Evans, 45, from Stockport, has been waiting for a new heart for more than nine years.

He needed his first heart transplant when he was just 17 due to cardiomyopathy – a disease of the heart muscle.

The organ has lasted for 28 years – even though he was told the life expectancy of his transplanted heart was between five and 10 years.

But he was put on the general waiting list on February 23 2009, and is currently the longest-waiting heart patient on Britain’s transplant list.

Mr Evans, who has two sons, William, 13, and Callum, FORMER Brexit secretary David Davis has branded Theresa May’s Chequers Brexit blueprint which triggered his Cabinet resignation as “actually almost worse than being in”.

Mr Davis said he would vote against the Prime Minister’s Chequers plan in any Commons showdown as International Trade Secretary Liam Fox took a swipe at Chancellor Philip Hammond’s no deal warnings.

Mr Davis also warned that Mrs May’s statement that she would not be “pushed into accepting compromises on the Chequers proposals that are not in our national interest” risked becoming an “an incredible open sesame to all”.

He told BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show: “No, I’d vote against it, it would be rather odd for me to resign over something and then vote for it when it came back.

“In my view, the Chequers proposal – it’s not a deal, we shouldn’t call it the Chequers deal, it’s the Chequers proposal – is actually almost worse than being in.”

Mr Davis added: “We will be under the rule of the EU with respect to all of our manufactured goods and agri-foods, that’s 10, has become profoundly ill during his wait and has spent the last three months in Wythenshawe Hospital.

At one stage he was removed from the transplant list and was forced to tell his wife to expect the worst. He described the moment as “the lowest point in my life”.

But he was put back on the list after adjustments to his medication meant he became a really serious concession, what about take back control, it doesn’t work?

“That actually leaves us in a position where they dictate our future rules without us having a say at all, so it’s a worse deal.”

Asked if Theresa May could stay on as Prime Minister if she could not get the Chequers plan through the Commons, he said: “Oh yes.”

Mr Davis cited Tory MP Nick Boles’ concerns over Chequers, adding: “We’ve got to turn round with other alternatives.”

He also hinted at earlier tensions within the Government’s Brexit negotiating team, stating: “I was always the Brexit Secretary, well enough to cope with the surgery again.

During Organ Donation Week, NHS Blood and Transplant is encouraging people to talk to their families about their wishes surrounding organ donation.

It said that last year, around 3,000 transplants were missed because families said no to donating their relative’s organs. the question is whether I controlled events, that’s another matter.”

On Chequers, he said: “I was quite clear in my mind that she (Mrs May) saw this as an opportunity to be grasped. My disappointment about Chequers is it actually denies us a large part of that opportunity.”

On his successor Dominic Raab, he added: “He will do the best he can on the Chequers deal, but unfortunately the Chequers deal is not one which is going to be good enough for the UK.”

Mr Davis said he would “certainly not” support the People’s Vote, adding: “The point about referenda is that they are once in a generation.”

Referring to the Treasury, Dr Fox said: “Can you think back in all your time in politics where the Treasury have made predictions that were correct 15 years out, I can’t, they didn’t predict the financial crisis that happened. So this idea that we can predict what our borrowing would be 15 years in advance is just a bit hard to swallow.”

He added: “To say what a GDP figure would be 15 years ahead is not a predictive power that I’ve known the Treasury to have in my time in politics.”
