Everything Everywhere Daily - Why You Can’t Resign From the British Parliament

The British House of Commons has been called the Best Club in Town due to the fact that there is a 1,000-gallon vat of Scotch whiskey located in the cellar. However, I prefer to think of it as a roach motel. Because technically, once you are elected to Parliament, you can’t leave. It is actually illegal to resign from the House of Commons. Yet, people seemingly do all the time. Learn more about the convoluted way you can quit the House of Commons on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - Hold China Accountable for COVID-19, Texas Lawmaker Says

Rep. Michael McCaul says the United States needs to hold China accountable for COVID-19. The Texas Republican joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how we might do that.

"I think it's becoming more and more clear as the evidence unfolds, when we talk about the origins of COVID-19, that it's more likely it came out of this laboratory," McCaul said of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.


"And the lengths to which the Chinese Communist Party went to cover this up: Detaining doctors, silencing them, destroying lab samples, not allowing the [World Health Organization] to declare it an epidemic, then a global pandemic. They have the blood of 3.5 million people on their hands, and economic chaos and destruction throughout the world."


We also cover these stories:

  • The Biden administration announces Thursday that it is sending 25 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine abroad to nations in need. 
  • The cases of COVID-19 have fallen to the lowest levels since March 2020. 
  • Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signs legislation to discourage Texas communities from defunding their police department.
