Outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May issued a parting shot to opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday, using her final weekly parliamentary question session to suggest he follow her lead and quit his job. May, who will officially hand over to her successor Boris Johnson later on Wednesday, is stepping down after just over three years in the job, having failed to deliver Britain's exit from the European Union.

British PM May's parting shot for Labour's Corbyn: your time is up

British Prime Minister Theresa May told her top team of ministers on Tuesday that parliament would not be asked to vote on a revised <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/we-must-hold-our-nerve-on-brexit-may-to-tell-uk-lawmakers-196941">Brexit deal</a> this week as she needed more time to negotiate with the European Union, her office said.

May is seeking changes to the deal she agreed with the bloc last year, after lawmakers rejected it largely due to concerns over an insurance policy aimed at avoiding the return of border controls on the island of Ireland.

"She said it is clear that these discussions with the EU will need a little more time to conclude and so we will not be bringing forward a meaningful vote this week," a spokeswoman for May's office said in a statement following May's weekly meeting with her cabinet of ministers.

British Prime Minister Theresa May will force a second parliamentary vote on her <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/britains-brexit-vote-how-many-lawmakers-are-backing-pm-may-190324">Brexit deal</a> despite facing defeat, The Sun reported on Monday.

The British parliament is widely expected to vote against May's <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/uk-brexit-vote-set-for-january-15-amid-talk-of-delay-189103">deal on Tuesday</a>, opening up outcomes ranging from a disorderly divorce to reversing Brexit.

Allies claim that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has offered May last-minute help after saying the European Union could grant extra concessions if MPs reject her deal, the report said.

The concessions include persuading Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar to agree to an end date to the so-called Irish backstop, the report added.

The EU has told May that it stood by commitments to find ways to avoid triggering the Irish backstop, an insurance policy to avoid the return of a hard border in Ireland, in their Brexit deal and that this pledge had legal weight.

Earlier this month, May spoke with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to secure concessions from Brussels to help get her Brexit deal through parliament. She has also spoken to Germany's Angela Merkel twice in recent weeks.

May's office said at that time the prime minister was speaking to several European leaders to secure further reassurances ahead of the vote.

UK's Michael Gove won't resign over PM May's Brexit plan: Reports

Britain will respond appropriately if evidence shows Moscow was behind a nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter in England, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Thursday.

Former double agent Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, have been in the hospital since they were found unconscious on Sunday on a bench outside a shopping centre in the quiet cathedral city of Salisbury.

&quot;We will do what is appropriate, we will do what is right if it is proved to be the case that this is state-sponsored,&quot; May told when asked whether Britain could expel the Russian ambassador.

&quot;But let`s give the police the time and space to actually conduct their investigation,&quot; she added, in her first comments on the attack since police said on Wednesday a nerve agent was used.&nbsp;

Government experts have identified the substance, which will help identify the source but have not made the information public.

&quot;Of course, if action needs to be taken, then the government will do that. We`ll do that properly, at the right time, and on the basis of the best evidence,&quot; May said.

Both victims remain unconscious, in a critical but stable condition, while police officer Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who was also harmed by the substance, remains in a serious condition.

&quot;He`s well, he`s sat up. He`s not the Nick that I know but of course, he`s receiving a high level of treatment,&quot; said Kier Pritchard, head of Wiltshire Police, after visiting Bailey in a hospital intensive care unit.

&quot;He`s very anxious, he`s very concerned. He did his very best on that night.&quot;

A total of 21 people had been treated in hospital following the incident, Pritchard said.

In parliament, several lawmakers defied interior minister Amber Rudd`s plea to avoid speculation about who was responsible for the &quot;brazen and reckless act&quot;. Some called for investigations to be re-opened into the deaths of Russian exiles in Britain in recent years.&nbsp;

Rudd urged people to keep a cool head and focus on the Salisbury incident.

&quot;This was attempted murder in the most cruel and public way. We will respond in a robust and appropriate manner once we ascertain who was responsible,&quot; Rudd said.&nbsp;

&quot;We are committed to do all we can to bring the perpetrators to justice, whoever they are and wherever they may be.&quot;&nbsp;

Skripal betrayed dozens of Russian agents to British intelligence before his arrest in 2004. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison in 2006, and in 2010 was given refuge in Britain after being exchanged for Russian spies.

The attack has been likened in Britain to the assassination of ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, a critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who died in London in 2006 after drinking green tea laced with radioactive polonium-210.

A British public inquiry said Litvinenko`s murder had probably been approved by Putin and carried out by two Russians, Dmitry Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoy. Lugovoy is an ex-KGB bodyguard who later became a member of parliament.

Both denied responsibility and Russia has refused to extradite them.

Rudd denied that Britain`s response after Litvinenko`s murder had been too soft, effectively sending a message that such crimes could be carried out with impunity.&nbsp;

&quot;We are absolutely robust about any crime committed on these streets in the UK. There is nothing soft about the UK`s response to any sort of state activity in this country,&quot; she told BBC radio.

In Russia, some media took an almost jocular tone.

&quot;Do not choose England as your next country of residence, whether you are a professional traitor to your homeland, or you just hate your country in your free time,&quot; said Kirill Kleimenov, news anchor on Russia`s state-run Channel One, as he introduced an item about the story on the evening news bulletin.

&quot;Something`s not right there, maybe it`s the climate, but in the past few years, there have been a lot of strange occurrences there with a terrible outcome. People hang themselves, fall out of windows, are poisoned, or crash in helicopters in simply industrial quantities.&quot;

We will do what is appropriate, we will do what is right if it is proved to be the case that this is state-sponsored," May told

Grenfell Tower fire made london families homeless are to be rehouse in new affordable apartments by the government. The apartments are right next to luxury private homes in one of the most exclusive---luxurious --- andf expensive parts of london.

The apartments would be allotted to those families who lost thier loved ones in the Grenfell Tower fire which left atleast 79 people dead and missing.&nbsp;

Sixty-eight apartments in the upscale Kensington Row development have been acquired by the UK government and will be alloted to the victims of Grenfell Tower fire. Kensington Row&nbsp;is less than two miles from Grenfell Tower.

&quot;Our priority is to get everyone who has lost their home permanently rehoused locally as soon as possible, so that they can begin to rebuild their lives,&quot; UK government Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said after announcing the plan.

Apartments cost up to $4 million

The 68 apartments of Kensington Row is on Warwick Road, off Kensington High Street cost government upto $4 million. The apartments of &nbsp;Kensington Row are the most deireable ones in London. 
It&#39;s close to the exclusive rooftop bar, Kensington Roof Gardens, which houses a celebrity hangout restaurant and nightclub.&nbsp;

The properties of &nbsp;Kensington Row is designed for high lifestyle pleasure and is developed for &nbsp;private sale or rent, and come equipped with luxury facilities including a gym, private cinema and spa, with current price tags ranging from $2 million to $4 million.

The Grenfell residnts will be moving into two blocks at 357 Kensington High Street had a mixed reaction to the news about their prospective new neighbors. some residents were happy and some were not satisfied. A 24-year-old student, who would only give his first name as Saif, told CNN that he has been living in a one bedroom flat there for three years.

&quot;Actually for me, it&#39;s good and it&#39;s bad. It&#39;s good (that) the government ... give them houses, because they don&#39;t have houses, but it&#39;s unfair, you know?&quot;

&quot;I am paying here like &pound;3,000 ($3,800) ... and they give it them for free without paying any service charge.&quot;

&quot;I was thinking to buy one here after a few years. But I want to see. They say they are going to move at the end of July. So I want to see what will happen. I might move to another place,&quot; Saif said.

Another resident, who identified himself as A.J., has been living at the development for two months. &quot;Honestly, I didn&#39;t care at first, but if I was to live here (longer term), it would affect me. It&#39;s not just about the money. 
&nbsp;&quot;If they were to screen the people that were living there, for example if families want to come here, it wouldn&#39;t really affect me.&quot;

&quot;The cheapest one here is &pound;575 ($730) a week. So it&#39;s not like living in Queensway for example, where they&#39;re surrounded by benefit houses or affordable homes. People pay a certain amount here just to be secluded.&quot;

Grenfell Tower fire victims to get new luxurious apartments

UK Elections 2017 has been a tight race between the Conservatives and Labour party candidates. While PM Theresa May was sure of making it to the finished line with a majority, Jeremy Corbyn has managed to pull a masterstroke.&nbsp;

Jeremy Bernard Corbyn, 68, the grand old man of British politics had a different game plan from the beginning. His policies and the Labour party&#39;s manifesto stood its ground on local and domestic issues that made a connect with the British citizens. Corbyn was able to shave off Theresa May&#39;s lead in the popularity polls in the last two weeks. His focus on education, security, income tax and importantly his stance on Brexit clearly touched a chord while May and her party did not have a solid post-Brexit roadmap for UK citizens.&nbsp;

Corbyn has served as Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition since 12 September 2015. He was born in Chippenham and is the youngest of the four sons in the family.&nbsp;

Always a crusader, while still in&nbsp;school, he became active in The Wrekin constituency Young Socialists, his local Labour Party, and the League Against Cruel Sports.&nbsp; 
He joined the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in 1966 whilst at school and later became one of its three vice-chairs.

&nbsp;

Brexit:

Corbyn has consistently spoken for Britain to remain as an EU member but after the referendum result, Corbyn over the last two weeks of campaigning has maintained that the &ldquo;result must be respected&rdquo; and a &quot;close new relationship with the EU&quot; should be targeted. He said that one of his first acts as Britain&#39;s prime minister would be to call German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron to chalk out a plan for Brexit. He also promised to guarantee the rights of EU citizens based in the UK while&nbsp;rejecting the idea of &#39;no deal&#39; in EU negotiations.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

Education:

What also added&nbsp;to his popularity&nbsp;is his commitment to education and providing for the youth by announcing the scrapping of tuition fees for universities. He also announced&nbsp;the scrapping of upfront costs for colleges and further education courses while reintroducing maintenance grants for students. He also wooed&nbsp;new mothers by plugging the gap in childcare after maternity leave helping them to come back to work with the aid of National Education Service.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

Terrorism:

In the wake of London Bridge terror attacks, both May and Corbyn differ on opinions. Corbyn chose to not support counter-terrorism legislation as a parliamentarian. He promised to reverse the cutting of around 20,000 police officers since 2010. He also vowed his support for Trident, that is&nbsp;UK&rsquo;s Vanguard fleet of submarines carrying nuclear missiles. Corbyn has however been a strong opponent of&nbsp;nuclear weapons.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

Income Tax:

Motivated to ensure that the national debt is reduced, Corbyn in his party&rsquo;s manifesto looked&nbsp;to raise tax revenues from the top earners in the country. For those earning above &pound;80,000 ($103,544), income tax rate would increase 45 per cent for earnings above the amount and then to 50 pence in each pound for people with an income of more than &pound;123,000.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

Trump:

Before Trump had withdrawn from the Paris climate accord and talks were still on, Corbyn spoke about calling US President Donald Trump and urging him to not withdraw from the accord. He continuously criticised May&rsquo;s approach in dealing with Trump calling it &quot;dereliction of duty&quot; when she failed to sign a joint statement with other EU leaders condemning the US administration.&nbsp;

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

Iraq War:

Corbyn identifies himself as an anti-war activist. In October 2001, Corbyn was elected to the steering committee of the Stop the War Coalition, which was formed to oppose the Afghanistan War. He also opposed the Iraq War in 2003 and spoke at anti-war rallies in Britain and overseas. He helped organise the February anti-Iraq War protest which was claimed to be the largest such protest in British political history. In 2006, Corbyn was one of 12 Labour MPs to support Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party&#39;s call for a parliamentary inquiry into the Iraq War.&nbsp;

He continuously criticised May’s approach in dealing with Trump calling it "dereliction of duty" when she failed to sign a joint statement with other EU leaders condemning the US administration. Iraq War: Corbyn identifies himself as an anti-war activist. In October 2001, Corbyn was elected to the steering committee of the Stop the War Coalition, which was formed to oppose the Afghanistan War. He also opposed the Iraq War in 2003 and spoke at anti-war rallies in Britain and overseas. He helped organise the February anti-Iraq War protest which was claimed to be the largest such protest in British political history. In 2006, Corbyn was one of 12 Labour MPs to support Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party's call for a parliamentary inquiry into the Iraq War. (WION)
