Johnson, 55, triumphed in the Conservative Party leadership contest against Jeremy Hunt, 52, the current British foreign secretary. It was a race to replace the incumbent Theresa May, who announced in May her resignation as prime minister. May’s repeated failure to pass her controversial Brexit deal through parliament ended her unpopular premiership as she lost her party’s support. Johnson, a prominent supporter of Brexit, promises Britain will leave the European Union, deal or no deal, by Halloween....

Why they did will be hotly debated—here and there—for some time to come. Some attribute the outcome to Johnson’s successful mobilization of Brexiteers in both the Conservative and Labour parties. Frustrated after three years of parliamentary inaction following passage of the June 2016 referendum to pull the U.K. out of the EU, they wanted change. But that doesn’t explain everything. The British elites spent the interregnum between the referendum and the Thursday’s election telling everyone the original result, influenced heavily by disinformation from the pro-Leave side, was a fluke....

“After 45 years of membership, they [the EU] are not willing, unless there’s a fundamental change of approach, to offer this country the same terms as Canada,” the prime minister said. “We will prosper mightily as an independent free-trading nation, controlling our own borders, our fisheries and setting our own laws.” He gave this statement, he said, with “great confidence and high hearts” but warned that Brussels was “refusing to negotiate” and leaves the U....

In a post shared on Reddit, the employee explained that they are overdue for a work review and a pay raise, but their boss refused the pay raise and dismissed them, saying they should be happy they’re paid a six-figure salary. When really, according to the post, the employee earns $90,000, which they say is “not bad, but still not even in the 0.01 percentile that would qualify his statement....

Andreas Flaten reportedly put in his two weeks’ notice to A OK Walker Autoworks in Peachtree City, Georgia, in November 2020. It wasn’t until March 2021 that his former employer paid Flaten the $915 he allegedly owed him, oily pennies and all. Now, the U.S. Department of Labor has gotten involved. On January 5, the department issued a press release announcing a filed complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Miles Walker, owner and operator of the auto shop....

No one would infer that Rondo’s removal is resulting in wins because of addition by subtraction, there are few players who can get 15 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists on the same night and players like that don’t hurt the team. Fact is, that the Celtics have had other players step up and take charge when needed. They are a versatile bunch, having two hall-of-fame athletes in Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, who are surrounded by great role players....

Paranoia meets preparedness and security overkill runs into safety demands where two years ago two siblings set off bombs that shredded more than 260 human bodies. Three people died on Boylston Street near the marathon’s finish line. Others lost limbs, eyes and other body parts.

The Boston Celtics were touted as the weakest first seed ever last season. This season, they are the best team in both conferences so far. They have given us everything in those 16 games. They’ve beaten the reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors. They’ve been in tough late-game situations and came out victorious every single time. They are the number one defense in the league, restricting their opponents to just 94 points per game....

With run-machine Kohli rested after the side claimed an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, India’s much-vaunted batting was dismissed for its seventh lowest ODI total – 92 in 30.5 overs here – after Trent Boult (5/21) dished out a deadly opening spell. It was also the lowest total posted by any side on this venue, the previous lowest of 122 also against India’s name. With the series already out of their grasp after India won the first three games, Boult wreaked havoc with the new ball and in Colin de Grandhomme’s (3/26) company utilised the swinging conditions at the Seddon Park....

His three films following 1992’s “Malcolm X” flopped, and his most recent film, “Girl 6,” got some of the worst reviews of his career. His dream project, a movie about baseball legend Jackie Robinson starring Denzel Washington, was dropped by Turner Pictures over budget disputes; so far, he hasn’t found another studio willing to give him the $35 million budget he wants. He’s ended his seven-year deal with Universal and has no studio he can call home....

Last Friday, Republican U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, who represents Texas’ 23 district that spans one-third the length of the U.S.-Mexico border, brought a Congressional delegation to the border, where they listened to the stories of farmers in the district who said they’ve faced consistent damage to their properties. The meeting comes as Gonzales, along with U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar (D-Texas-28) and U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), continue to rally support for the Bipartisan Border Solutions Act they introduced last month....

The Indian batting crumbled against a lively pace attack as Australia won the first Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) by 122 runs here Thursday to take a 1-0 lead in their bid to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian batting collapsed for the second time in the match. Chasing 292 to win, the visitors lost their top six batsmen for just 64 runs, before being bowled out for 169....

Speaking to Fox Business on Tuesday morning, Judd criticized the Biden administration for its handling of the surge of migrants into the United States. “It’s getting worse than we’ve ever seen it before. We’re continuing to deal with more people than we’ve ever dealt with in the history of the Border Patrol, and this administration is doing nothing to fix it,” Judd told Fox host Maria Bartiromo. He added, “With Vice President Harris going to Guatemala, to Mexico, that’s not going to do anything....

10 Blitz-Tank Amara Amara is probably the most balanced of the four new Vault Hunters. None of her builds are outright as broken as Crit FL4K or Bloodletter Grenade Moze. Although, her Elemental Phasezerker build does come close. But, what she’s known most for, is those rock hard abs and her love of punching people. This is all to say that Melee Amara is viable. Now, these melee builds can heavily depend on her Capstone Blitz ability, or they can also work as tank builds while she uses the Face-Puncher to destroy foes from afar....

10 Best: The Lyuda And here it is! The Lyuda, the undisputed best sniper in the game. Honestly with FL4K Crit builds getting nerfed every patch, there’s not much reason to use this over say The Unforgiven. But, the one that towers above all is the Lyuda. This sniper is absolutely essential for Mayhem 3 players, as the modifiers and health sponge enemies make most other weapons feel like pea shooters....

According to Gearbox Software, it will be debuting the official Borderlands 3 ECHOcast Twitch extension as part of the gameplay reveal experience, and to get started earning any in-game loot, players will have to link their Twitch and SHiFT accounts while using the extension. Linking one’s SHiFT and Twitch accounts isn’t required to make use of the ECHOcast extension as a viewer during Borderlands 3’s gameplay reveal experience, but those who don’t will not be able to participate in the Rare Chest Events, which is how one will be able to get loot....

Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford has revealed a new Shift Code that will offer players 5 Golden Keys.

Though Borderlands 3 was released back in September of 2019, Gearbox has continued to support the game pretty regularly.

The Borderlands 3 Show Me the Eridium event begins tomorrow, October 15, and it will be deployed through a small patch that is set to be available before 3pm PDT. Once a player has applied the new patch, they will find that the Show Me the Eridium event makes several changes to Borderlands 3. Specifically, the event will add Eridium drops to standard enemies, increase the droprate for Eridium in Mayhem Mode, decrease the Eridium cost associated with Moxxi’s slot machines, and discount items that can be purchased with Eridium from Crazy Earl....

Since the release of Borderlands 2, SHiFT codes have played an important role during active gameplay. Every so often, Gearbox will release various SHiFT codes for players to redeem in-game as a way of accessing new loot with increased rarity. Although, the latest SHiFT code that Gearbox released via Twitter gives players something much more substantial.
