How do you kill that which cannot be killed? How do you stop the white-shirted spectre from rising once again as a Champions League semi-final reaches its decisive final moments? Just a thought. But sticking the ball in the net might be a start. On a glorious, occasionally excruciating night at Stamford Bridge Chelsea simply ran right through Real Madrid, with N’Golo Kanté a commanding, decisive presence. Frankly they should have won this game 6-0. Madrid looked gone after 20 minutes, an ageless team grown old, unable to cope with Chelsea’s power and spring. Instead the greatest point of tension was Chelsea’s…

FRANCE’s threat to turn off Jersey’s electricity is a blatant French attempt to intimidate the UK, more in keeping with the approach of Vladimir Putin’s Russia than with a western democracy, a Tory MP has said. And while David Jones welcomed Boris Johnson’s decision to send Royal Navy vessels to the Channel Islands, he also suggested French President Emmanuel Macron may use the crisis to bolster his credentials with one eye on next year’s election. The row exploded after remarks by Annick Girardin in France’s National Assembly. Mrs Girardin said she was “disgusted” that Jersey had issued 41 licences with unilaterally imposed conditions, including the…

NICOLA STURGEON is likely to come out with an overall majority in this week’s Holyrood elections – despite support for an independence referendum waning in Scotland. A new poll from Sky News shows Scots are now less enthusiastic about the prospect of independence, but also show SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon heading for a majority win in this week’s Holyrood Elections. A new poll by Opinium found Nicola Sturgeon is on course to return as Scotland’s First Minister with a slim overall majority for the country’s leading party. The latest poll found that support for a second independence referendum is now equally tied at…

EUROCRATS have accused Britain of being in breach of the Brexit trade deal in a further escalation in the row over fishing rights. The European Commission said the new restrictions on trawlermen introduced by Jersey contravene the terms of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Under the post-Brexit rules, EU vessels are required to secure licences to operate in the waters off the coast of the Channel island. EU officials have thrown their weight behind France’s threat to plunge the isle into darkness by cutting its power supply. A Commission spokeswoman said: “Any addition of new specific conditions to these…

Arizona’s top elections officer Katie Hobbs on Wednesday alleged multiple points of concern regarding the forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election currently underway in Maricopa County. In a letter (pdf) to former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, a Republican who is the state Senate’s liaison for the audit, Hobbs outlined 13 points of concern over how the audit is being run. This included seven points of concern over counting procedures that the state Senate and audit contractor Cyber Ninjas disclosed, as well as six points of concern over what her observers saw at the audit site. Under terms of a lawsuit settlement filed on…

BORIS JOHNSON risks losing the support of older voters in tomorrow’s local elections, after failing to guarantee he will bring forward plans for long-term social care reform in the Queen’s Speech. The Prime Minister pledged an overhaul of social care when he was elected, promising to publish a plan within his first 12 months in No10. During that speech, Mr Johnson said he was “announcing now – on the steps of Downing Street – that we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all with a clear plan we have prepared”. He missed the self-imposed deadline, blaming…

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has admitted Manchester United fans’ disgruntlement with the Glazers is a difficult situation for him and he is concerned it could disrupt his team’s progress. The manager said the behaviour of some fans at Sunday’s protests went too far and that supporters had to conduct themselves in a “civilised manner”. Fan unhappiness at the Glazers over loading debt on to the club was heightened by the joining of the now defunct European Super League. There is also upset at a lack of communication during their 16-year ownership. Solskjær was asked whether one of the Glazers should directly speak with supporters. “It’s…

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a challenge filed by an Arizona resident who had sought to prove claims of election fraud during the Nov. 3 election in her state. The nine justices, without comment, dismissed (pdf) a request by Pinal County resident Staci Burk to find evidence of election fraud. Burk had sought access to ballots to prove that some were invalid or fraudulent. Earlier this year, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling that agreed with a trial court judge in Pinal County that Burk lacked the right to contest the election. The reason given was that she wasn’t a registered voter at…

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday appeared to launch a new communications platform, coming several months after he was suspended from Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms. The platform appears on Trump’s personal website. It includes social-media-like posts from the former president that can be shared to Facebook and Twitter. It’s not clear whether the website will be developed into a full-fledged social media website. Currently, it’s not possible to create user accounts or reply to Trump’s posts, and Trump is the only poster. “Heartwarming to read new polls on big-shot warmonger Liz Cheney of the great State of Wyoming,” reads Trump’s latest post.…

NATIONWIDE customers could secure an attractive current account amid plummeting interest rates across many current options. Nationwide is a popular building society used by millions of people, however, some may not be aware of a deal it is currently offering its customers. It is worth noting interest rates have been shockingly low recently, taking a plunge following the Bank of England’s decision to lower its base rate to 0.1 percent back in March 2020. As the central bank has not moved to increase rates since, this has understandably created issues for those hoping to grow their funds. With more focus…
