STUPID: Sunak plans to end UK’s energy crisis by reintroducing policy that caused it

December 20, 2022 -

But Prime Minister Rishi Sunak seems unaware of it. In fact, he is reportedly planning to reintroduce a policy that supports onshore wind.

Natural remedies to help you get rid of BAD BREATH

September 26, 2023 -

Brush and floss every day (and twice a day if possible) to reduce odorous bacteria in your mouth. Flossing removes bits of food caught between teeth, which can cause bacterial growth (and halitosis) when ignored. Replace your toothbrush every two to three months so the bristles do not weaken over time and clean your teeth less effectively. (Related: Prevent halitosis with good oral hygiene and these natural remedies.)
