BREAKING: Melania Trump humiliates herself on the world stage by chairing a United Nations Security Council meeting despite a total lack of diplomatic experience. We've become the laughingstock of the entire world... After calling the gathering to order with a bang of her gavel, Melania embarked on a string of rambling remarks that were ostensibly about how education is the key to "advancing tolerance and world peace." It was a truly Orwellian moment, coming as it does as her husband embarks on a war of naked aggression against Iran, a war that has already resulted in the bombing of a girls' school that killed at least 165 people. "My heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their heroes, who sacrificed their lives for freedom," said Melania, referring to the American troops who have come home in coffins thanks to her husband's pointless and illegal war. "Their bravery and dedication will always be remembered. I extend my earnest wishes for a swift and smooth recovery to all those who have been injured," she added. "You are in my thoughts and prayers during these challenging times. The U.S. stands with all of the children throughout the world. I hope soon, peace will be yours." This is an unprecedented appearance by an American First Lady and yet another sign that Donald Trump prizes loyalty and proximity to himself over competence. In fact, this is the first time that the spouse of ANY world leader has been allowed to take the president's seat on the Security Council. It sends a clear signal to the world that the United States is now little more than a nepotistic, tinpot dictatorship. The truth is that we've had countless brilliant, qualified, thoughtful First Ladies in the past who could have performed this role at the UN. Melania is not one of them. She wants to play-act as the master diplomat, but history will remember her as a spineless coward who enabled the worst abuses of her fascist pedophile husband. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Melania Trump is a disgrace!

3.4% rise heading our way in Barnsley, kids - not the Reform default rise of 5%, AND there's money being splashed around to improve services. Time to think hard before voting in May, maybe?
🚨All 12 of Reform UK's councils are set to put up council tax, despite promising not to in May election pledge. Rises include: Derbyshire - 4.99% West Northamptonshire - 4.99% North Northamptonshire - 4.99% Lincolnshire - 4.99% Nottinghamshire - 3.99%

Why isn't this headline news on the BBC, Sky and ITV? Shouldn't they be interested in the waste of billions of pounds? Why are they giving this inquiry the tiniest amount of coverage? #BrokenMedia
"Shameful" The Inquiry hears from expert virologist Prof. Deenan Pillay that the Government chose to spend billions on private consultants from Deloitte instead of listening to experts. The labs they set up have since been dismantled. 'We've been left with nothing'.

Thinking of the 97, their loved ones and survivors today. You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Today marks 36 years since the Hillsborough disaster, which claimed the lives of 97 innocent men, women and children. They are always in our hearts and minds.

Barnsley. What a town. I visited for the first yesterday to film a report for tonight’s News at Ten. The centre is full of life, the people we met were warm and welcoming and those moors! In the gaps between the buildings you catch glimpses of stunning countryside. #blownaway

Today is #DinaAliDay. This day in 2017, Dina vanished off the face of the earth Who is she? Every woman who ever tried to flee abuse; everyone who ever wanted freedom. She SO nearly made it; but powerful men conspired against her. Then people just…forgot. But I can’t. 1/8

Dear 🇬🇧, @RishiSunak & @Jeremy_Hunt promised they would dramatically increase med school spots but have funded only 350 extra for next year. So with our current staff haemorrhage, we’ll still be losing docs and won’t break even. Nothing they say is trustworthy. Nothing. #SOSNHS
