Harry Styles reveals his sexuality doesn’t have a label

Apr 30 2022

Pop superstar Harry Styles has stated that sexuality does not have a label, arguing that society should be heading towards a more accepting landscape with less labels.

Styles is no stranger to taking the stage in dresses, rainbow attire and waving Pride flags and, being the international star that he is, was under the microscope by fans with regards to his sexuality. In reaction to this, Styles has since reflected on such ‘labelling’ and called it outdated.

The ‘As It Was’ singer noted that he has been open with his friends on this issue, highlighting that sexuality is each individuals own personal experience. He also revealed that he has been working through issues related to dating, sexual identity and other intimate relationships – highlighting that he often “felt ashamed at the idea of people even knowing that [he] was having sex.”

The singer-songwriter is set to release his latest album Harry’s House on May 20th.

“The PN is becoming populist like Labour”, says former PN MP Edwin Vassallo

Apr 30 2022

In a recent Facebook post, former Nationalist Party MP Edwin Vassallo stated that the Nationalist Party is going to become populist like the Labour Party. These comments are a reaction to PN leader Bernard Grech’s sentiments on a recent airing of XTRA, where he addressed certain hot topics like abortion and euthanasia in Malta.

Vassallo, who had been a Nationalist Party MP since 1996 and also served as a Parliamentary Secretary, failed to get elected to Parliament in the last general election.

In his Facebook post, he said the day will come when the people must vote on abortion and the party’s decisions will be taken on how much votes they can garner, rather than if it is just or not. He went on to state that if the PN chooses to go down this road, it will become like the Labour Party and not care about the common good but about how many votes it can rake in.

Grech had shared a clip on Facebook to highlight that the PN statute is one “in favour of life”, going on to sustain that it is arrogant for any party to impose on the citizens what it thinks is good. “I want to change the way politics are conducted. I want politicians to listen and not dictate, I want politics from the people to the people, and not politics which imposes,” the PN leader stated.

“In the coming months, we want those who have been against us to join us”, says Chris Fearne

Apr 30 2022

“For the third year in a row, the Labour Party won the general election. This is a victory for the Labour Party, but we must ensure that the victory is for Malta and Gozo, because we campaigned with a call for unity.” These were the words of Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne during the Labour Party’s general conference on Friday.

During his speech, Fearne stated that during the recent election, the people chose unity and that is why the government must attempt to overcome the challenge of bringing deflectors of the Labour Party closer to it in the coming months and years.

He went on to state that for the Labour Party to have become relevant and remain relevant, it must continue to look towards the future and reinvent itself to be different than what it is today.

Fearne’s closing statements reiterated Labour Party Deputy Leader Daniel Jose Micallef’s, in that the first 10 years of the Labour Party in government are just the beginning and that the government has big projects to work on in the coming years.

During the meeting, Abela also stated that the government has a duty to address social injustices and inequalities and instead of falling in the face of intimidation, it brought courage to many despite international circumstances.

During Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne’s discourse, it was stated that the country must unite to face realities brought upon by the crisis in Ukraine. Referring to the recent general election, Fearne stated that everything must be done to bring the percentage of non-voters closer to the Labour Party.
