Manchester United have been dealt a significant blow with Marcus Rashford deciding he needs surgery on a shoulder injury. The striker, who has endured racist abuse after his missed penalty in England’s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy on Sunday, may not be available for United until the end of October. Rashford, 23, was hampered by the shoulder muscle tear last season and was picked in the European Championship squad despite not being 100% fit. He underwent a scan on Tuesday and a decision was taken that surgery was the only option. However, it is understood the operation will not take place…

Former President Donald Trump on Monday released a letter he received from a former federal prosecutor in Pennsylvania last month, outlining how the attorney was allegedly pressured by former Attorney General William Barr against investigating claims of voter fraud and election irregularities in the state. William M. McSwain, who served as the chief federal law enforcement officer in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania from April 2018 to January 2021, addressed a letter (pdf) to Trump on June 9 outlining his allegations. “U.S. Attorney from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was precluded from investigating election fraud allegations. Outrageous!” the former president said in a statement releasing the…

URSULA VON DER LEYEN has been warned her Commission’s flagship recovery plan lacks the flexibility needed for EU member states to get back on their feet after the pandemic. The warning came from the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who questioned whether the bloc should reimpose the eurozone’s rigid spending and deficit rules. Aligning with southern EU states, already clashing with northern and more frugal countries in the bloc, the US finance chief said: “It’s important to think about whether or not [the rules] create the flexibility that countries in the EU need in order to be able to address cyclical developments. “We have…

JOHN Swinney desperately dodged questions from the BBC’s Nick Robinson after almost £700,000 reportedly went missing from SNP coffers. Following news that police in Scotland have launched a formal investigation into possible criminal activity involving SNP fundraising after an estimated £660,000 has gone missing without a trace, deputy leader of the SNP John Swinney faced a barrage of questioning from Today programme host Nick Robinson. He repeatedly insisted he could not comment on the investigation and said the SNP has always been “transparent” about its finances, despite a multitude of resignations by treasurers and auditors in the SNP over the parties reluctance to be transparent about funding.…

A passenger prevented from boarding a Southwest Airlines flight has filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court seeking a preliminary injunction against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over its mandate requiring travelers to wear face coverings. “This is an authoritarian policy that has no basis in law and has to come to an end,” Washington resident Lucas Wall told The Epoch Times in an interview. Wall is fully vaccinated, but says he refuses to wear a face covering because doing so precipitates a feeling of panic and claustrophobia. “I’ve been stranded at my mother’s in Florida because I…

The racist graffiti daubed on a mural of Marcus Rashford in the wake of his Euro 2020 penalty heartache has been covered with hundreds of positive notes and messages praising the England star. The tribute on the wall of the Coffee House Cafe in his home town of Withington, Manchester, had been defaced, in what is being investigated by police as a possible ‘hate crime’, with derogatory comments about Rashford and included the words ‘sh**e’ and ‘b*****d’. Further graffiti said ‘f**k Sancho’ in reference to Three Lions teammate Jadon Sancho who also missed a penalty during the shoot-out. But residents wasted little time in rushing to cover…

Gareth Southgate has hinted at reluctance to extend his contract beyond the Qatar World Cup, saying he does not want to overstay his welcome after England’s defeat on penalties against Italy in the final of Euro 2020. Southgate is under contract until the World Cup, which begins in November 2022, and Mark Bullingham, the Football Association’s chief executive, has made clear he wants to extend the England manager’s deal until the 2024 European Championship in Germany. The FA’s desire to keep Southgate has been strengthened by England’s run to their first major men’s final in 55 years. On Monday, however, the 50-year-old remained cagey…

LIZ TRUSS has made a huge breakthrough in post-Brexit trade talks with the US, managing to remove a damaging 25 percent tariff. The UK’s Trade Secretary is making strides in US trade talks, having met with Dr Jewel Bronaugh, the Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, yesterday. Ms Truss is aiming to strengthen economic ties with the White House over a five-day visit to the US.

NICOLA STURGEON claimed there are “hard times are ahead no matter what happens” as her independence dream was shattered over its funding. The leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) sent a warning to Prime Minister Boris Johnson for “picking a fight with the democratic wishes of the Scottish people” over a second independence referendum. She claimed another vote “is the will of the country” and reaffirmed that it is a “matter of when not if”. But the First Minister appears to face a huge problem – funding – and she previously admitted that her economic blueprint is now “completely out of…

Boris Johnson will give the go-ahead to the final lifting of restrictions in England on 19 July but tell the public: “The plan to restore our freedoms must come with a warning.” People will be urged to remain vigilant and be told they are “expected” to wear face masks in enclosed public places, despite the legal requirement being dropped. In a marked change of tone reflecting the fact that cases and hospital admissions are still rising, the Prime Minister will say on Monday the long-awaited end of the roadmap is “tantalisingly close” but warn that the “global pandemic is not over yet”.…
