Seems unsteady on his feet at the Republican Convention.
-
Norm Hewitt, All Blacks hooker, has died aged 55 following a battle with MND. Dancing with the Stars alumni taking a beating - Shannen Doherty, Jacoby Jones and now Norm. Obituaries: BBC, Telegraph and Daily Mail.
-
Apparently the shooter. If so then he’s dead. Confirmed shooter dead and one bystander. Also confirmed Trump “grazed by a bullet”.
-
One person reportedly in custody.
-
Assailant reported dead. Tallies with county prosecutor confirming 1 dead. Edit: One dead, status of shooter unknown.
-
An image for the ages. And one that will certainly seal the election’s fate.
-
Shot at a rally. Walked away but seems to have hit his head/ear, blood visible. Video here. Conscious, talking and walked with assistance of secret service but CNN has confirmed he has been injured.
-
Jack Grealish is a hit for me here.
-
Rees-Mogg out.
-
Sunak remains - as an MP at least.
-
Jeremy Hunt holds on, with a majority of 891.
-
Dewsbury looking likely to go Independent. As is Blackburn. Tight in Birmingham Ladywood. Real issue for Labour in urban areas with significant Muslim populations.
-
Yvette Cooper back in, despite rumours of a Reform gain. Comfortable 7k majority.
-
Wes Streeting in with a narrow 528 majority.
-
Chris Philp holds on in Croydon South. Really a weird mix of results.
-
Incorrect previous reports - Coffey definitely gone but to Labour not Greens
-
Andrea Jenykns out.
-
Mordaunt gone.
-
Jenrick back in at Newark.
-
20 votes!
-
Jonathan Ashworth a worthy contender - perhaps not in the fullest sense as a Cabinet Minister, but still a shocker. A reverse Portillo.
-
Bob Schul, who won Gold in the 5000m run at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, has died aged 86. The only American to have won gold in that discipline.
-
Another surprising by-election result, this time for Greenwich Council. Follows odd results in Powys and North Lincolnshire last week, and Birmingham a fortnight ago.

Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets
Thatcher replied to maryportfuncity's topic in DeathList Forum
Israel has struck southern Lebanon. Rumours of the assassination floating of a high ranking Hezbollah affiliate, notably that it was Subhi al-Tufayli, although sceptical of that for now. Hezbollah has ordered a media blackout. Jerusalem Post confirms somebody was targeted. Other speculated names include Hashim Safi al Din and Naim Qassem. -
The contempt for the Tories is absolutely clear, comes through in the way audience interact with Sunak e.g mockery, laughter and pure exasperation. However, whilst people are prepared to vote Labour to get rid of the Tories after 14 years and all those broken promises, 49% of the public think Starmer will be a bad Prime Minister. So people are absolutely fed up, they’re going to vote Labour, but within a year when nothings has changed (and taxes are likely increased - council tax and fuel duty to be specific), people will fold their arms, look at Labour and say well you’re a pile of shite too. Question being if that does happen, people don’t trust the Tories, let down by Labour, where do they turn?
