PRIME MINSTER SUNAK DEFENDS DETAINING CHILDREN CROSSING IN SMALL BOATS Prime Minister flights to Rwanda might not begin by the summer Prime Minister Rishi Sunak defended his government’s plans to detain children arriving in the UK on small boats, as he faced questions from the liaison committee.

Steve Clarke revealed he used the memory of an iconic Kenny Dalglish goal against Spain in 1984 to inspire his Scotland players towards a 2-0 victory over the same opposition at Hampden Park. Dalglish notched the third goal of a 3-1 win which was the last success for the Scots against Spain until Scott McTominay, with two goals, sunk Luis de la Fuente’s men. Scotland’s head coach later explained how he drew upon history. “I spoke about Kenny Dalglish scoring that goal in 1984 and I said to the players: ‘That’s what it means to the country,’” Clarke said. “I told them:…

The risk of dying from heart issues was three and a half times higher among young women in the first three months after a single dose of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine, according to a new study. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) analysed hospitalisations, vaccination records and death registrations in England among 12 to 29 year-olds to assess the impact of the Covid-19 jab and infection. After one dose of a non-mRNA vaccine, which includes the AstraZeneca jab, there was evidence of an increased risk of cardiac death in young women, the ONS said.

The sale of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to the public will be banned and the police will be given enhanced drug-testing powers as part of Rishi Sunak’s attempt to crack down on antisocial behaviour “with urgency”. The levelling up secretary, Michael Gove, said the proposals would stop parks being turned into drug-taking arenas, and would help ministers stamp out antisocial behaviour. The ban comes a month after the independent Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) warned against one and said it would be disproportionate with the level of harm associated with nitrous oxide. It said such control could create “significant…

The Scottish National party is preparing to announce later on Monday which candidate has won the bitterly contested battle to be Scotland’s next first minister. Whoever wins may need to do deals with unionist parties if the power-sharing deal with the Greens collapses, the next first minister has been warned. In a barely concealed challenge to Kate Forbes, the centre-right candidate vying to succeed Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish Greens said: “Progressive politics and climate justice … must be at the heart of any vision for Scotland that we will support.” Forbes, who mounted a combative campaign, has raised substantial doubts about the future…

Antonio Conte’s well-advertised departure from Tottenham was finally confirmed on Sunday night, the club announcing it was by “mutual agreement” after a week of behind-the-scenes turbulence and stony public silence. Conte’s long-time assistant, Cristian Stellini, will be acting head coach for the remainder of the season, with Ryan Mason as his assistant.
