Viewers of Good Morning Britain praised Susanna Reid for holding Dominic Raab to account after reports Boris Johnson was briefed about allegations about Chris Pincher. Deputy Prime Minister Mr Raab appeared on Tuesday’s show where Susanna and Ed Balls quizzed him on whether Mr Johnson knew about the allegations of inappropriate behaviour. Mr Raab appeared uncomfortable during the questioning and pushed back when Susanna said Mr Pincher had been ‘found guilty’ after an investigation into the claims. He told Susanna that ‘no formal disciplinary action was taken’ against Mr Pincher, despite the investigation having upheld the complaint. After a back and forth over whether it was acceptable to say he was ‘found guilty’, Susanna asked him: ‘Was he guilty of inappropriate behaviour or not?’ Mr Raab responded: ‘He was found… the claim was found to be substantiated but we didn’t-‘, as Susanna interjected: ‘So he was found guilty of inappropriate behaviour?’ ‘No, … [Read more...] about Susanna Reid praised for ‘absolutely skewering’ Dominic Raab in car crash GMB interview

Witnesses recall fatal attack on Outlaws leader outside his gang pad
Multiple witnesses have described the bloodied and brutal attack of senior Outlaws gang figure Peter Lui, who died after being assaulted and robbed of his patch by two rival gang members. A trial at the High Court at Napier began on Monday, where Hemi Rapata Meihana Cahill, 30, pleaded not guilty to charges of being party to Lui’s murder and assaulting him with a car – a Holden Calais. He pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated robbery relating to the theft of the long-time Outlaws member’s motorcycle club patch. A courier driver told the court he was following behind Lui’s motorbike and the maroon coloured Holden the day of the attack outside the gang pad on Mersey St on March 29 last year. As he followed behind, he saw the passenger appear to reach into the back of the car, while the driver appeared to be looking for something while sticking his head outside the window. “By that time I thought they were after that fella on the bike,” he said.

PRAGER: A Response To 2 Secular Conservatives I Adore | The Daily Wire
In the latest edition of “The Rubin Report” podcast, two people I adore, Dave Rubin and Heather Mac Donald, dialogue about some of the great issues facing America. Interestingly, though both are secular, Dave opened the interview asking Heather about God and religion. She began by saying that she is not conservative because of religion but because of her commitment to empirical truth. It is empirical truth that leads her to affirm, for example, “the necessity of the two-parent family” and “most traditional values.” Heather is right that one cannot be committed to empirical truth and be a leftist (though one can be a conservative or a liberal). Left-wing assertions that men give birth; that America was founded in 1619 (when the first enslaved black was brought to the American colonies); that people can be lifted from poverty on a mass scale without capitalism; that there are no innate differences between men and women; that America is a racist nation; that women are paid less than … [Read more...] about PRAGER: A Response To 2 Secular Conservatives I Adore | The Daily Wire

Boris Johnson was facing the biggest leadership crisis of his premiership on Tuesday after Rishi Sunak quit as chancellor and Sajid Javid resigned as health secretary. The Prime Minister was battling to remain in No 10 as his handling of the row over scandal-hit former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher became the latest issue to raise questions over his judgment.

Mr Sunak said ‘the public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously’, adding: ‘I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.’ Nadhim Zahawi was promoted to be the new Chancellor , with universities minister Michelle Donelan taking his place as Education Secretary.
