Insurance firm denies service to UK figure over ‘political views’

 

'God help us all'

 

Swiss insurance firm Swiss Re denied a business loan to politician Richard Tice over his political views, a report said Monday.

 

Tice applied for the loan last year, but a recently disclosed financial document shows the company denied Tice for being a “reputational risk” citing his leadership of the Right-leaning party Reform UK.

 

“I’m a man who’s made money, brought in investment and created jobs in this country. If that’s how they think of people who are successful businessmen then God help us all,” said Tice, who blamed “wokeness” for Swiss Re’s decision.

United Airlines lifts nationwide ground stop after computer glitch

 

United Airlines issued a nationwide ground stop for less than an hour today due to a computer issue.

 

“We are experiencing a systemwide technology issue and are holding all aircraft at their departure airports,” the airline said in a statement about 12:45 p.m. “Flights that are already airborne are continuing to their destination as planned.”

 

Shortly after 1 p.m., United said: "We have identified a fix for the technology issue, and flights have resumed. We’re working with impacted customers to help them reach their destinations as soon as possible."

 

This is the second ground stop this year due to a computer malfunction. Southwest Airlines had a ground stop April 18 that delayed nearly 2,000 flights nationwide.
