@PippaCrerar @kiranstacey Notable that the lowly PPS's resign to show their dissatisfaction with Starmer but his equally dissatisfied Cabinet colleagues do not resign. Disloyal treacherous cunts.

🚨Our latest podcast: How a dramatic day unfolded for Keir Starmer's leadership. @kiranstacey & I discuss: The PM's big speech - fighting for his political survival - and how it went down with Labour MPs How Starmer was determined to fight on - but some Labour figures predict he will *not* run in a leadership contest How Angela Rayner is no longer hell bent on top job but could be part of team - and is ready to endorse Andy Burnham as her own stock falls What Wes Streeting is *really* up to - and whether he is about to go over the top How the cabinet is stepping in to warn the PM over his predicament Our reflections on whether Britain is ungovernable - and any how successor to Starmer will find themselves in the same position theguardian.com/politics/audio…

@DrTedros @WHO @UN Would it not be more appropriate to dock at a mainland European port rather than an island?

To the people of Tenerife, My name is Tedros, and I serve as the Director-General of the @WHO, the @UN agency responsible for global public health. It is not common for me to write directly to the people of a single community, but today I feel it is not only appropriate, it is necessary. I want to speak to you directly, not through press releases or technical briefings, but as one human being to another, because you deserve that. I know you are worried. I know that when you hear the word “outbreak” and watch a ship sail toward your shores, memories surface that none of us have fully put to rest. The pain of 2020 is still real, and I do not dismiss it for a single moment. But I need you to hear me clearly: this is not another COVID-19. the current public health risk from #hantavirus remains low. My colleagues and I have said this unequivocally, and I will say it again to you now. The virus aboard the MV Hondius is the Andes strain of hantavirus. It is serious. Three people have lost their lives, and our hearts go out to their families. The risk to you, living your daily life in Tenerife, is low. This is the WHO’s assessment, and we do not make it lightly. Right now, there are no symptomatic passengers on board. A WHO expert is on that ship. Medical supplies are in place. Spain’s authorities have prepared a careful, step-by-step plan: passengers will be ferried ashore at the industrial port of Granadilla, far from residential areas, in sealed, guarded vehicles, through a completely cordoned-off corridor, and repatriated directly to their home countries. You will not encounter them. Your families will not encounter them. I also want to say something else, something that goes beyond the science. I personally thanked Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon for #Spain’s decision to receive this ship. I called it an act of solidarity and moral duty. Because that is what it is. I want you to know that the WHO’s request to Spain was not made arbitrarily. It was made in full accordance with the International Health Regulations, the legally binding framework that defines the rights and obligations of countries and the WHO when responding to public health events of international concern. Under those rules, the nearest port with sufficient medical capacity must be identified to ensure the safety and dignity of those on board. Tenerife met that standard. Spain honoured it. Nearly 150 people from 23 countries have been at sea for weeks, some of them grieving, all of them frightened, all of them longing for home. Tenerife has been chosen because it has the medical capacity, the infrastructure, and the humanity to help them reach safety. And because I believe that so deeply, I will be there myself. I intend to travel to Tenerife to observe this operation firsthand, to stand alongside the health workers, port staff, and officials who are making it happen, and to personally pay my respects to an island that has responded to a difficult situation with grace, solidarity, and compassion. Your humanity deserves to be witnessed, not just acknowledged from a distance. As I have said many times: viruses do not care about politics, and they do not respect borders. The best immunity any of us has is solidarity. Tenerife is demonstrating that solidarity today. The ship’s captain, Jan Dobrogowski, crew and the company operating the vessel have shown exemplary collaboration at this challenging time. On behalf of the World Health Organization, and on behalf of those passengers and their families around the world, I thank the people of Tenerife and everyone else involved. Please take care of yourselves and of each other. Trust in the preparations that have been made. And know that the WHO stands with you, and with every person on that ship, every step of the way. With respect, care, and gratitude, Tedros

@BelfastLive Unforeseen circumstances?

TOWIE star Jake Hall dies aged 35 after 'glass-door accident' at Majorca villa belfastlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-…

@MLAsAndTheLike To be fair, much as I loathe the fat cunt, the series is very impressive.

'When I was filming 'Peelers' over two years ...' is something Radio Ulster listeners are going to be hearing a LOT in the future

@patriottakes But...but he's black.

@JLS1776 @SkyNews Who hurt you Jason?

@Timetogo105 @SkyNews I dont care. Their exports will slow and it will hurt their economy. Good.

@JLS1776 @SkyNews It will not be the EU paying the tarrifs you fucking moron.

@SkyNews Good, Fuck the EU.

@owenjonesjourno Ed is an arrogant smug dwarf.

It is obviously ridiculous that a) a deeply factional longstanding Labour politician b) who is married to the Foreign Secretary presents a flagship news show holding politicians to account. Anybody reasonable knows this!

@Acyn On the downside Lynsey there'll be no convenient bedrooms near the ballroom where you can go to suck off a paid escorts dick.

A reporter points out to Lindsey Graham that WHCD is a private event for a private organization that’s not held by the WH and had twice as many guests as the proposed ballroom would hold. Graham: WE’RE GOING TO BUILD THIS FACILITY! THE NEED IS REAL.

@Acyn Was "don't jerk him off or blow him" on the list they gave you?

Rep. Boebert on King Charles Boebert: We were given a list of do’s and don’ts for the King by the Speaker. We were told no touching… it really sounds like a list of don’ts for the royal family. It sounds like everything his family has already done.

@Breaking911 Four kicks and four stamps to the head. Any one of which could have potentially proved fatal. That cop needs to be charged convicted and imprisoned.

WILD TAKEDOWN: British Police arrest a terrorist who stabbed two Jews in the Golders Green neighborhood of London. One victim is in serious condition.

@BethRigby Grow up Beth and report on policies not pantomime.

Gloves off at #PMQs as Badenoch goes in on Starmer "This government is like a bad episode of Game of Thrones. His own people have turned against him and all the while, the Prime Minister is holed up in his castle, wetting himself about a visit from the King in the north" And this "I think the whole country is sick of this man's tone deaf, pompous, moralising. Last week, we all saw him punch the Speaker's Chair. This is not a man who is in control. Since the last King's Speech, it's been one disaster after another: Cronyism, jobs for friends of convicted paedophiles; peerages for other friends of convicted paedophiles; Broken promises on taxes; U-turn after U-turn after U-turn...How much longer do we all have to put up with his shambles

@VeraMBergen @MollyJongFast I very much doubt he could have faced this enemy if he had bone spurs.

Quite the photo

@jasonrope Actually I think all that chlorine turned the cat shit in her brain to mush a long time ago.

What’s more plausible? 1. Half of all trans women in the U.K. are in prison or; 2. Half of Sharron’s skull is stuffed full of cat shit?

@skydavidblevins @Stone_SkyNews @jamesmatthewsky @MichaelBlairTV @eleanor_deeley It's not about you David. You're just an enabler.

A moment in time. Shortly after this picture was taken, my colleagues and I were sheltering on the floor after hearing gunfire; President Trump and the First Lady were being whisked off stage. @Stone_SkyNews @jamesmatthewsky @MichaelBlairTV @eleanor_deeley

@implausibleblog My interest in Reid is sagging faster than her boobs.

Susanna Reid, "I'm going to ask you about hypno-boobing" Zack Polanski, "I'm sure the audience will be delighted that you're asking me a question about something that happened 13 years ago including an interview a week after The Sun article, when I've apologised many many times since" "Your audience will notice that I'm talking about taxing multimillionaires and billionaires" "Taking wealth away from powerful people and putting it back into our communities" "And GMB ten days before local elections" "Rather than asking about our policies around food banks, or spending money on our public services, or making sure people are supported in this country" Ed Balls, "I thought you'd like to answer these questions" Zack Polanski, "You're really struggling here, ten days before local elections, on the day I'm announcing I want to bring buses into public control to make sure reducing bus fares in cities and rural communities" "It's interesting you don't want to ask me about any of these things, you want to do shock jock tactics, and by the way, this is why people hate the media"

It's only money son. It's not love and it's not respect.

@mark_slapinski Seriously? Yes.

Serious question Do people ACTUALLY THINK Donald Trump would fake an assassination just so he could justify building a ballroom And to distract away from the Epstein files?

@LBC What is the world coming to. Are there no professional hitmen with pride in their work? Must we rely on teachers, students and misfits?
