crisis in modern times. as covid spread, the nhs came under enormous pressure. in a televised address, borisjohnson announced extraordinary restrictions to daily life. from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction you must stay at home. the prime minister himself became seriously ill with covid. he was admitted to intensive care and spent three days in hospital. a key ally throughout this time was dominic cummings, his unconventional style aggravated many. sorry i m late. and within a year of the election victory, he d resigned after a bitter power struggle clashing with tory mps and the prime minister s wife. he soon went on the attack, becoming mrjohnson s fiercest and most damaging critic. he doesn t have a plan, he doesn t know how to be prime minister and we ve only got him in there because we had to solve a certain problem, not because we thought that he was the right person to be running the country. there were electoral losses too. th
Targets in the past day. This blast in gaza was shot today by cameras in southern israel. Palestinian Authorities Say homes were hit without warning. These pictures are from rafah, where locals pulled victims from the rubble of a house that was hit overnight. And these images are from khan younis, also in southern gaza.

To the government, enough is enough. And locally, labour is delivering in power. Up and down this country, ordinary people are fed up with the chaos, mismanagement and decline the tories have presided over. Despite this, though, were getting on with the job locally. This result isntjust a rejection of the tories. Voters in our city region arent easily kidded. Its a Ringing Endorsement of what were doing locally too. Steve rotherham, there are.
