KEIR STARMER has been brutally mocked after attacking Boris Johnson for “nipping out of meetings to look at wallpaper” during the Covid pandemic, but then pictured himself browsing through the wallpaper in John Lewis. The Prime Minister has come under furious attack from the Labour Party leader as he faces a probe into the controversial refurbishment of his Downing Street flat. Earlier this morning, Sir Keir said: “I think it says something about this Prime Minister that in the middle of a pandemic he was nipping out of meetings to look at wallpaper. Wallpaper, by the way, that was about…

NICOLA Sturgeon’s Government has been accused of an “appalling waste of money” after the revelation that it used chauffeur-driven cars to ferry documents around Scotland on more than 200 occasions last year at a cost of almost £1million – and has spent almost £4.7million doing so since 2017. And the actual figure is likely to be even higher, given the total does not include journeys for the First Minister herself or other senior figures. Government cars are intended for transporting officials and ministers around Scotland. However, a Freedom of Information request showed they had been used on at least 209 occasions purely for the…

At least 44 people have been killed after a horrifying crush at a religious festival in Israel. Children are reported to be among the dead and there are about 150 injured. Eli Beer, director of an Israeli volunteer ambulance service, Hatzalah, told Army Radio on Friday: ““Unfortunately, we found small children trampled there, and we performed CPR on children. We were able to save some of them.” Six helicopters were used to transport the injured from the scene of the disaster. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the tragedy as a “heavy disaster”. Tens of thousands of people had gathered at…

Ole Gunnar Solskjær put a quartet of recent semi-final stumbles behind him as Manchester United routed Roma to all but book a place in next month’s Europa League final. “We don’t feel the job is done but this was a good job done,” said Solskjær after a sometimes surreal first leg at Old Trafford, where United trailed 2-1 at the interval but ended up winning 6-2 after an apparently stern half-time homily from their manager. “I told them I wasn’t happy with the first half. We’d forgotten we have to [sometimes] run back. For five or 10 minutes before half-time we didn’t…

The Electoral Commission has launched an inquiry that has the potential to imperil Boris Johnson’s premiership as the “cash for curtains” row increasingly engulfed the prime minister. With sweeping powers to call witnesses and refer matters to the police, the watchdog said its probe was necessary because it already believed there were “reasonable grounds” to suspect that payments for expensive renovations to Johnson’s Downing Street flat could constitute several offences. Though Johnson has insisted he has done nothing wrong, he was goaded into a fury at prime minister’s questions as Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, interrogated him by asking pointed questions that Johnson mostly…

A lawyer for Rudy Giuliani said federal investigators executed a search warrant at the home of the former New York City mayor and attorney to former President Donald Trump and seized electronic devices. Giuliani’s attorney Robert Costello told Fox News that seven FBI agents arrived at his Manhattan apartment at 6 a.m. on April 28 and remained there for about two hours. They seized laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices, Costello said. “This is totally unnecessary,” Costello told Fox News, adding that the raid was carried out to “make him look like he’s some sort of criminal.” The New York Times was the first to…

Well, that de-escalated quickly. On a night of thrilling, see-sawing fortunes something strange happened at the Parc des Princes. For 30 first-half minutes Paris Saint-Germain threatened to swagger their way through an oddly fearful and muddled Manchester City team. At which point PSG simply collapsed like an over-inflated macaron in the face of a brilliantly assertive second half showing from a rejigged City – led by an alpha-dog performance from Kevin De Bruyne in central, right, left midfield, and pretty much every other position on the pitch. This 2-1 away win was a triumph also for Pep Guardiola, who did that thing here…

An Arizona judge on April 28 rejected an attempt by the Arizona Democratic Party to immediately halt an audit of the 2020 election in the state’s largest county. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin said Democrats didn’t provide “substantive evidence of any breaches or threatened breaches of voter privacy.” The lawsuit, filed just before the audit started last week, may ultimately succeed, the judge added. But it fell short of the “strong likelihood” of succeeding standard required for a temporary restraining order. Martin also expressed doubt that the balance of hardship in the case or public policy favors the plaintiffs—two factors that are…

NICOLA Sturgeon’s independence dream has been dealt a hammer blow by a new poll indicating barely four in ten voters now back a Scotland breakaway. The poll of 1,001 adults found 42 percent backed independence, 49 percent were opposed, and eight percent were undecided. Once the undecideds were removed from the equation, the 54-46 split was strikingly similar to the result seven years ago. Back in December 2019, 38 percent of those polled by YouGov for the Times backed independence with the lead for Yes as high as 13 percent in an Ipsos MORI/STV poll in October 2020. Other findings…

s the rain fell on a wild night in Madrid’s northern suburbs, as the shapes and angles whirred past in front of him, Thomas Tuchel could be seen crouched on his touchline, overcoat gleaming wet, arms describing abstract shapes in the air. How Tuchel enjoyed the opening hour of this game. But then this was a Champions League semi-final first leg so tight, so condensed with miniature drama, it seems possible even young people (demographic: 17-23) might have enjoyed watching it. Although perhaps not as much as Tuchel, who showed once again how good he is at managing these one-off occasions, the…
