This morning

Joe Scarborough, who hosts the MSNBC show Morning Joe, has hit back at former president Donald Trump for taunting him and questioning whether the show would be cancelled. Trump issued a statement on Monday morning, reading:"Will Morning Joe be canceled? He and Mika's ratings are very low—they are having an extremely hard time finding an audience to listen to the Fake News they spurn. Losing them would be very sad—hope it doesn't happen!" In response, the MSNBC host mocked Trump's choice of words. "I never heard him talk about spurn, using that as a word," Scarborough said on his show on Monday. "I don't use the word, it's new vocabulary!" Then, turning to civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton, who was being interviewed on the show, he said: "Secondly, he can't quit us!" In his Monday statement, Trump also took a shot at Joy Reid, who hosts The ReidOut on the same channel as Scarborough, featuring interviews with politicians and newsmakers.

Boris Johnson is facing a week that will be critical for his premiership. He has been questioned by Sue Gray over "partygate" allegations , Whitehall sources have told The Telegraph , as new signs of a Tory grassroots backlash emerged. The Prime Minister is understood to have shared what he knows with Ms Gray, the civil servant overseeing the inquiry, ahead of publication of the report as early as this week. Downing Street is already planning its response to the findings, with the promise to overhaul a "drinking culture" in Number 10. A survey found that around four in 10 grassroots Tory supporters want Mr Johnson to resign now and the number of Conservative MPs publicly calling on him to stand down has reached six. Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor and likely future leadership contender, is one of a dozen Cabinet ministers yet to pledge support in TV or radio interviews since Mr Johnson's apology. Amid the backdrop of discontent and uncertainty, Mr Johnson is plotting … [Read more...] about Monday morning UK news briefing: PM questioned over ‘partygate’

Phillip Schofield and Ruth Langsford insisted there was ‘no saving’ Rochelle Humes after she collapsed laughing over her own cheeky innuendo. The Saturdays star – who is filling in for Holly Willoughby on the This Morning sofa for the next couple of weeks – was discussing Phil Vickery’s upcoming cooking segment when she accidentally made a rather rude comment about his soup and toastie dish. While her co-host insisted he doesn’t like dunking biscuits – but bread and soup is fine – Rochelle replied: ‘I will definitely dunk all Phil Vickery has to offer – oh my God!’ She instantly cracked up as Phil and the rest of the studio burst out laughing over the slip-up, and the 59-year-old star admitted while he’s no stranger to this kind of situation, there was nothing he could do this time. ‘Normally I try to help, I don’t think there’s anything I can say.

Phillip Schofield was left in stitches as a poor viewer couldn’t stop retching because of her custard phobia. Life coach duo the Speakmans – who frequently appear on the show to help viewers with their problems – were on hand during Monday’s episode of This Morning as they spoke to Michelle from Manchester about her unusual fear, and the woman couldn’t even say the word without dry heaving down the phone. ‘I can’t even say it. It’s vile. It makes me skin crawl, it makes me retch, the thought of it, the look of it, the colour of it, the smell of it,’ she said, admitting she simply calls it ‘the yellow stuff you put on apple pies’.

The Liverpool hospital attacker used "many aliases" to purchase ingredients including ball bearings for his bomb, counter terrorism police have said. Emad al-Swealmeen got a taxi to Liverpool Women’s Hospital on Sunday, with the vehicle blowing up as it arrived outside the main reception at 10.59am. Police investigating the incident suggested on Friday that the detonation of the bomb was "completely unintentional" and could have been caused by the taxi coming to a stop . "Had it detonated in different circumstances, we believe it would have caused significant injury or death," said Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson, the head of Counter-Terrorism Police North West. He confirmed police had spoken to Swealmeen’s brother, who has provided “an insight into his early years and an understanding of Swealmeen's life and his recent state of mind”.
