SD top in Botkyrka takes time out
Martin Inglot, group leader in Botkyrka and member of the regional council in Stockholm, will resign from his political duties, reports Mitti Botkyrka.
It was this summer that Aftonbladet revealed that the SD leader was registered with his mother in Botkyrka – but lived in Östermalm.
In December, charges were brought against him regarding accounting offences.
At the next municipal council meeting, he will leave all local political assignments.
– We have talked and we think that when the situation is as it is, it makes sense for him to take a time out. It was his own decision, says local party chairman Robert Stenkvist (SD) to the newspaper.

A total of 142 cases and 22 possible cases were found as a result of the spread of infection that began in Sudan, writes WHO. 55 died as a result of the infection.
Staff missed that the patient had died
Staff at Helsingborg’s hospital sent a patient who had died on from the emergency room to a care unit, reports HD/Sydsvenskan.
The staff should not have noticed that the person was dead. The incident that occurred during the Christmas holiday is now reported as an internal deviation.
– This should not happen. We should not send a deceased patient up to a care unit, says emergency department manager Marcus Larsson to the newspaper.
The elderly, seriously ill patient was in the final stages of life, which was clear to the staff. But it is not yet completely clear how long the patient was in the emergency department before the decision to admit him to a care unit was made.

What does an unpaid intern at TV4 expect, maybe not to clean but maybe not to be in the limelight either Or what do you think at AB, should you send out an intern on the “heavy” assignments? But you never answer, so we won’t know

Hey! The review shows that the production company Mastiff described the job as working with the television production itself, but that the reality was different. So it depends on what you promise. For example, if we have a trainee reporter, you will at least get to be a reporter. And as far as I know, they usually enjoy it.
Why does Tove’s investigation feel so strange? Long periods of detention for the girls who are in custody, the police being extremely secretive about the circumstances and a what feels like an unusual investigation? Can you boil down the circumstances so that you keep up with where you are now in the process?

Isn’t it the case that if it had been Russia that was behind the Nordstream attack, it would have been trumpeted out!?
But maybe it’s not Russia and then you have to SILENCE it!
That’s how the media works!!
Ugh
Hey Uff! At the moment there is nothing new to report about who is behind the sabotage. On Christmas Eve, we published an article on the hunt for perpetrators, citing European intelligence sources who are unsure of the Russian trail. You can read the article here.
But the fact that we would, as you claim, “shut down” something is therefore not true.
Hey! Do you have any new info on how Jeremy Renner is doing?
