Conservative shadow chancellor Mel Stride has claimed the UK’s youth unemployment is “the highest in Europe”.

This is not correct. The UK’s youth unemployment rate is higher than the EU average, but some European countries have higher rates

Don’t forget Gaza. Israel continues to starve the Gazans and refuses to let shelter and aid into the besieged strip while it creates mayhem and destruction everywhere in the Middle East. We won’t forget.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Hundreds marched through San Francisco Saturday evening in solidarity with Minneapolis after federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti. It was at least the third shooting involving federal agents in the city in three weeks.

Local elections across East Anglia are being delayed as part of government devolution plans. One argument rarely discussed is cost – running a county-wide election can cost £200,000–£300,000 for councils already under financial strain.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Noem:

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."

Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.

Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.

Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

Labour's ruling committee, which is stuffed full of allies of Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney, has just blocked Andy Burnham from standing to be an MP in Gorton and Denton.
