Tory chairwoman 'tells Muslim shopper her hijab is "offensive" outside Asda' Barnet Tory chairwoman Fiona Bulmer was asked to stand down after she allegedly made the comments to the Muslim mum - who had asked if she supported Boris Johnson's 'letterbox' niqab comparison
Must be many people out there like me Disillusioned by the hole charade and the prospect of any of that lot becoming our next government. The thought of another five years of whoever gets in, not sorting out the mess, but instead making it even worse seems likely. If this is the best Britain has.......... we should all sign up for the one way Mars Trip.!
There are claims that this story leads back to Matt Hancock.
The massive effort to convince people this picture was 'staged' - and the truth about the 'senior nursing sister at Leeds Hospital' The woman who appeared to post the claim on Facebook has denied that it came from her, saying her account was hacked
. Despite a statement from the hospital confirming the boy had been put in a clinical treatment room with only chairs and no beds, false claims that the photo has been staged started appearing on social media. Hundreds of identical statements were posted to Twitter reading: "Very interesting. A good friend of mine is a senior nursing sister at Leeds Hospital - the boy shown on the floor by the media was in fact put there by his mother who then took photos on her mobile phone and uploaded it to media outlets before he climbed back onto his trolley."
The Guardian reports that Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn are embarking on a frantic final 24 hours of campaigning, with both sides insisting that the general election remains closely fought. Labour strategists have told HuffPost UK that they believe the whole election could hang on the "undecideds", those who supported the party in 2017 but who have told canvassers they still haven't made up their minds. The Matt cartoon in the Daily Telegraph picks up on one of the campaign's underlying themes: It features a voter saying: "I've told every candidate that I'm voting for them. This election is all about honesty and trust." "Britain's future down to the wire" is the front page headline in the Daily Mail, which, like many of the papers, has been poring over the latest polling evidence. "Corbyn closes on Johnson as race tightens" declares the i newspaper, which in common with the Times says the prime minister can't be sure of securing a Commons majority.
The prime minister has given an interview to the Telegraph in which he says the criminal justice system "isn't delivering" and promises tougher sentences for terrorists, sex offenders and violent criminals if the Conservatives are re-elected. He also says it's necessary to "put your arms around kids" before they get dragged into crime, by improving youth services. But Mr Johnson comes in for criticism on the front of the Daily Mirror. It highlights a claim by the father of Jack Merritt, who was killed in the London Bridge attack, that the prime minister saw his son's death not as a tragedy, but as an opportunity to score points in the election. The online Independent says David Merritt's intervention could not have come at a more sensitive time for Mr Johnson.
Hope for the future The Daily Express describes how the shadow health secretary, Jon Ashworth, "took a wrecking ball" to the Labour Party as he was secretly recorded telling a Tory activist that voters couldn't stand Jeremy Corbyn. "Pure Laurel and Hardy as a politician falls flat on his face," is how Quentin Letts in the Times sums up Mr Ashworth's comments. And on the eve of polling day, several papers nail their colours to the mast. The Guardian urges voters to seize what it calls a "fleeting chance to stop the pro-Brexit Tory Party in its tracks". Despite listing a range of misgivings, the paper concludes that a vote for the Labour Party offers the best hope for the future. It also calls on people to back other candidates with the best chance of beating the Conservatives - from the SNP, the Lib Dems, the Greens and Plaid Cymru to pro-European independents. The Sun, which has been relentless in its criticism of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour, declares that Boris Johnson "ticks all the boxes" and has the potential to be a great prime minister.
The Daily Mail, in a full-page editorial, also comes down firmly on the side of the Conservatives, telling its readers, "Don't sleepwalk into catastrophe. You must use your vote - and stop us plunging into the greatest crisis since the war." The Daily Mirror explains in a two-page spread why it thinks only one party can rebuild the country after what it calls "nine years of Tory misrule." "Vote Labour for the sake of your children," it says. The Times believes the country faces a choice between a party that can deliver Brexit and one that will deliver economic mayhem. For that reason, the paper says it's supporting the Conservatives. Pictures of Boris Johnson at the controls of a bulldozer ploughing through a polystyrene brick wall at a JCB factory are manna from heaven for the sketch-writers. As grand entrances go, it was a shameless piece of attention-grabbing, says Henry Deedes in the Mail. The Telegraph's Michael Deacon wonders, though, whether it sent out quite the right message. It created an awful lot of mess, he says, and concluded with Mr Johnson sauntering blithely from the scene, while ordinary workers were left to pick up the pieces.
Away from the election, the Times reports that one of Britain's wealthiest men is under police investigation over allegations of rape and sexual assault. It says the businessman, whose identity is protected by court orders, agreed financial settlements last year with two former female employees. But these agreements didn't stop the women from making a criminal complaint - which one of them has now done. And finally, the Telegraph publishes a list of topical words, names and phrases which have caused most problems for radio and television newsreaders in 2019. Thankfully, the paper accompanies the article with a pronunciation guide, so here goes with just some of them: The French protest movement, Gilet Jaunes (zhEE-lay zhOHn), Greta Thunberg (graY-tah tOOn-bairk) and Flygskam (flEEg-skam) - a Swedish term translated as "flight shame", used in efforts to cut carbon emissions.
Boris Johnson hides in fridge to avoid questions as aide swears at GMB reporter Boris Johnson was ambushed by reporter Jonathan Swain in Leeds before the aide mouthed "oh for f***'s sake" - leading to loud shock from hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on the ITV show
Boris Johnson hid in a fridge after a Good Morning Britain reporter ambushed him to ask him to appear on the show. In a clip of the incident, one of the PM's aides can be seen mouthing 'oh for f***'s sake' as the reporter approaches the group while Mr Johnson joined an early morning milk round in Yorkshire.
The ITV show's hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid exclaimed loudly in shock as they watched live from the studio. Piers tweeted following the incident: "Cowardice is never a good look." During the exchange, reporter Johnathan Swain asks the PM if he will come on the programme and "deliver on your promise to talk to Piers and Susanna".
UK Honda workers split over Brexit as factory closure hangs over election
More than one in 10 cars made in the UK was built at Honda’s Swindon plant, one of several opened by Japanese carmakers in Britain in the 1980s. Cars from its Civic range are exported to more than 70 countries worldwide. But one Monday morning in May, its 3,500 employees were told the factory would close in 2021, in a devastating blow for the town. The announcement of 950 more job losses in October at a second Honda site next door – Honda Logistics, which supplies it with parts, compounded the disappointment. Other suppliers across the south-west will also suffer. One worker in his 40s told Yahoo Finance UK: “I might lose my house. I’ve got a mortgage which I’m thinking ‘how am I going to pay.’ Everyone’s very sad, stressed in fact. It will not just impact people there, but on the outside, families and stuff.”
If you can't work it out then you're not eligible to vote.......... if indeed he did have Lamb curry and elected, he will recycle it all over the British Voters and serve them right.
Political coverage and commentary takes up most of the front pages. The BBC, along with other broadcasters, is not allowed to report details of campaigning while the polls are open. Away from the election, The Times considers what it calls the extraordinary transition of the Myanmar leader and Nobel Peace Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, following her appearance at the International Court of Justice defending her country's treatment of the Rohingya Muslims. It says she's gone from dissident voice, political prisoner and opposition politician to the genocide-denying champion of an almost friendless government. It suggests that the Nobel Peace Prize awards committee should think carefully about whether she still deserves the honour.
The Daily Telegraph says that, often lauded for her principled stance against the military, Miss Suu Kyi has been criticised for now defending their actions. For the Financial Times, her journey from the Nobel Peace Prize podium in Oslo to the UN court in The Hague is a symbol of her alienation from global admirers who once saw her as a human rights icon. There's sharp criticism of a new law passed in India yesterday that will fast-track citizenship claims for immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan - but not if they are Muslim. The Financial Times warns that the law threatens the history of Indian secularism. It is, the paper says, a milestone in the campaign by the prime minister, Narendra Modi, to reshape India into an overtly Hindu nation.
Finally, there are many affectionate tributes to the botanist and television presenter, David Bellamy, who has died at the age of 86. The Sun says he was larger than life and inspired millions with his love of nature. The Daily Mail describes him as the jolly green giant of the small screen. It says children adored him because he belonged to their world - a world of creepy crawlies, mud baths and the great outdoors.
