Manchester United will face Villarreal in the Europa League final after an 8-5 aggregate victory that was closer than it should have been. Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men endured a nervy second half as Roma swept three goals past the impressive David de Gea. Though that will hardly have pleased the manager his thoughts can now turn to the Gdansk showpiece and the dream of adorning an ever-improving two-and a-half-season tenure with his first trophy. Do this and seal second place in the Premier League and United’s trajectory will be pointing firmly skyward. Another bonus of this win in the Italian capital is…

THE HARTLEPOOL by-election has been one of the key votes to watch this election day as the first test of Labour leader Keir Starmer in Red Wall areas in northern England. Who won in Hartlepool? Labour was hoping for a revival of support in northern England after the Red Wall took a devastating blow in the 2019 general election. But Boris Johnson and the Conservatives rammed up campaigning in the days before Hartlepool residents went to the polls in a desperate bid to turn the seat blue. With Keir Starmer’s reputation on the line, who won? Who won in Hartlepool? Hartlepool has…

SIR KEIR STARMER is facing anger from his own MPs following the historic loss of the Hartlepool by-election last night, with party infighting erupting. The party leader’s authority has been hit by a bruising result in the traditional Labour seat that saw a Conservative MP elected for the first time in 50 years. Just hours after the result was announced, critics of Sir Keir are already briefing against him. Blaming the leadership’s lack of socialist policies for failing to win the seat that was won twice under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, Diane Abbott tweeted: “Crushing defeat for Labour in Hartlepool. Not…

How do you kill that which cannot be killed? How do you stop the white-shirted spectre from rising once again as a Champions League semi-final reaches its decisive final moments? Just a thought. But sticking the ball in the net might be a start. On a glorious, occasionally excruciating night at Stamford Bridge Chelsea simply ran right through Real Madrid, with N’Golo Kanté a commanding, decisive presence. Frankly they should have won this game 6-0. Madrid looked gone after 20 minutes, an ageless team grown old, unable to cope with Chelsea’s power and spring. Instead the greatest point of tension was Chelsea’s…

FRANCE’s threat to turn off Jersey’s electricity is a blatant French attempt to intimidate the UK, more in keeping with the approach of Vladimir Putin’s Russia than with a western democracy, a Tory MP has said. And while David Jones welcomed Boris Johnson’s decision to send Royal Navy vessels to the Channel Islands, he also suggested French President Emmanuel Macron may use the crisis to bolster his credentials with one eye on next year’s election. The row exploded after remarks by Annick Girardin in France’s National Assembly. Mrs Girardin said she was “disgusted” that Jersey had issued 41 licences with unilaterally imposed conditions, including the…

NICOLA STURGEON is likely to come out with an overall majority in this week’s Holyrood elections – despite support for an independence referendum waning in Scotland. A new poll from Sky News shows Scots are now less enthusiastic about the prospect of independence, but also show SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon heading for a majority win in this week’s Holyrood Elections. A new poll by Opinium found Nicola Sturgeon is on course to return as Scotland’s First Minister with a slim overall majority for the country’s leading party. The latest poll found that support for a second independence referendum is now equally tied at…

EUROCRATS have accused Britain of being in breach of the Brexit trade deal in a further escalation in the row over fishing rights. The European Commission said the new restrictions on trawlermen introduced by Jersey contravene the terms of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Under the post-Brexit rules, EU vessels are required to secure licences to operate in the waters off the coast of the Channel island. EU officials have thrown their weight behind France’s threat to plunge the isle into darkness by cutting its power supply. A Commission spokeswoman said: “Any addition of new specific conditions to these…

Arizona’s top elections officer Katie Hobbs on Wednesday alleged multiple points of concern regarding the forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election currently underway in Maricopa County. In a letter (pdf) to former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, a Republican who is the state Senate’s liaison for the audit, Hobbs outlined 13 points of concern over how the audit is being run. This included seven points of concern over counting procedures that the state Senate and audit contractor Cyber Ninjas disclosed, as well as six points of concern over what her observers saw at the audit site. Under terms of a lawsuit settlement filed on…

BORIS JOHNSON risks losing the support of older voters in tomorrow’s local elections, after failing to guarantee he will bring forward plans for long-term social care reform in the Queen’s Speech. The Prime Minister pledged an overhaul of social care when he was elected, promising to publish a plan within his first 12 months in No10. During that speech, Mr Johnson said he was “announcing now – on the steps of Downing Street – that we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all with a clear plan we have prepared”. He missed the self-imposed deadline, blaming…
