The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) mask mandate for airplanes and other forms of public transportation was struck down on April 18 by a federal judge. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said the CDC rule exceeded the agency’s statutory authority because its implementation violated administrative law. Mizelle, a Trump appointee based in Florida, directed the agency to reverse the policy nationwide in response to a lawsuit filed by the Health Freedom Defense Fund. The CDC violated the Administrative Procedure Act because it didn’t give notice before imposing the mandate in February 2021, Mizelle wrote in a 59-page summary judgment. “At the time…

Manchester United are set to announce Erik ten Hag as their new permanent manager once the terms of his €2m release clause from Ajax are finalised in the coming days. Negotiations over the length of the Dutchman’s deal are continuing as United close in on appointing a successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjær, with Ten Hag expected to commit either to an initial three years plus the option of another 12 months or a four-year contract lasting until 2026. It is understood that Ten Hag has been granted a key demand: to be allowed the final decision on transfers together with…

The civil servant in charge of the Home Office has said he does not have evidence to show the plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda will act as a deterrent. In a letter released at the weekend, Matthew Rycroft, the permanent secretary at the department, said that because the evidence was not available to justify the plan, he could not be sure it would provide value for money to the taxpayer. The release of the letter coincided with Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, using his Easter sermon to say the principle behind the plan “cannot stand the judgment of God”. The home secretary,…

Labour said that a fresh Partygate revelation on Sunday implied that Boris Johnson instigated one of the No 10 parties that he has denied attending. The deputy Labour leader, Angela Rayner, spoke out after the Sunday Times reported that a gathering that took place in Downing Street on Friday 13 November 2020 took on the nature of a leaving party only after Johnson arrived and started pouring drinks. She said: “While the British public was making huge sacrifices, Boris Johnson was breaking the law. “If the latest reports are true, it would mean that not only did the prime minister attend parties, but he…

The number of patients waiting for routine hospital treatment in England has soared to a new record of 6.18million, as ambulance and emergency department waits reach all-time highs. NHS data shows one in nine people in the country are waiting, often in pain, for elective operations such as hip and knee replacements and cataracts surgery. The figures show a record 6.18million were in the queue by February, up from 6.1million in January. But the more than 23,000 patients waiting more than one year and the nearly 300,000 who have been in the queue for over two years are down slightly from…

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who in the 2020 election cycle flooded election offices across the United States with hundreds of millions of dollars in grants, won’t be participating in such grantmaking this year, according to a spokesman. Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, made $419.5 million in donations to nonprofits—“Zuckerbucks” or “Zuckbucks,” as some have called the money—$350 million of which went to the “Safe Elections” Project of the left-wing Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL). The other $69.5 million went to the Center for Election Innovation and Research. The CTCL reportedly distributed grants to upward of 2,500 election offices. Zuckerberg spokesman Ben…

Elon Musk is being sued by former Twitter shareholders who claim he failed to disclose his stake in the company on time, thus preventing them from profiting when the social media platform’s stocks shot up in price. The class-action lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court by plaintiff and stockholder Marc Bain Rasella, who is suing on behalf of all Twitter shareholders who held stock in the company between March 24 and April 1, 2022. Tesla CEO Musk acquired a 9.2 percent passive stake in the company earlier this month, making him the social media giant’s biggest individual shareholder. Shortly after news of the disclosure surfaced, Twitter shares soared, sharply boosting the…

Politicians have described Priti Patel’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda “evil” and “inhumane”, amid fierce criticism from refugee charities, which have said the move is ill-conceived. The government is on Thursday expected to announce multimillion-pound plans for asylum seekers who cross the Channel in small boats to be flown for processing to Rwanda. Ian Blackford, the Scottish National party’s Westminster leader, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “It’s just chilling, absolutely chilling, to think that people who are coming here for a whole host of reasons – vulnerable people – are going to be taken all the way to Africa to…

It was fraught, it was suffocating, it was full-blooded – entirely as billed – and it blew up in the 89th minute with a mass melee between the players of both Atlético Madrid and Manchester City, including plenty of substitutes. The spark had come when the Atlético defender Felipe, already on a booking for having cleaned out Phil Foden in the early going, slid into him by the sideline before seeming to kick him. With Foden down, all hell broke loose, another Atlético defender, Stefan Savic, trying to lift him to his feet and being shooed away by Oleksandr Zinchenko, who…

Furious Rishi Sunak has blamed Boris and Carrie Johnson for his Partygate fine and had to be talked out of quitting as Chancellor last night – relenting only because it would have taken down the Prime Minister as well. Mr Sunak paid a £50 fine and apologised yesterday after police ruled he broke the law by attending a surprise birthday party in June 2020. The event was organised by Mrs Johnson to mark the PM’s 56th birthday and the Chancellor is said to only have been present briefly as he made his way to a meeting in the building.
