Lanarkshire MP calls on departing Prime Minister to reject future payments

PRESENTER Matt Baker was in tears tonight as he helped to raise over a million pounds for Children in Need. The One Show host saddled up with five young cyclists who have been supported by Children In Need projects in the past.

STRICTLY Come Dancing will air much later this week as the show moves to Blackpool for the first time in two years. The hit programme is going to be on BBC One nearly an hour later than last week. Viewers will need to tune in at 7.45pm to see the remaining eight couples battle for survival on the dance floor.

KATHERINE Ryan says the star she accused of being a predator on a TV show has sexually assaulted people and despite it being an open secret no one has managed to "nail him down." The Canadian comic revealed five months ago how she stood up to the alleged fiend while making the programme, but stopped short of naming and shaming him publicly. Now she has also revealed how the confrontations, originally thought to have taken place off-camera, were actually filmed as part of the show but were cut out before it went on air.

Rishi Sunak took aim at Liz Truss during his first address to the nation as prime minister saying "mistakes were made" while she was in office.

One of Boris Johnson’s closest allies has claimed the former Prime Minister is “clearly” standing to succeed Liz Truss.

Boris Johnson.The actor and comedian seemed to feel there was nothing funny about the prospect of him returning, however slim. Johnson, who reportedly rushed back from a holiday in the Bahamas after being alerted to the political turmoil of the Tory Party following the resignation of Liz Truss, is now said that he will give his best shot at running again.Truss had declared that it was unsustainable for her to remain in the leadership seat after so many of her policies - including the ill-fated mini-budget she'd put together with ex-Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng - had been reversed.One poll suggested that 55 percent of Tory MPs were keen to see the return of Boris Johnson - and a panicked-sounding Stephen Fry took to Twitter to explain how he'd feel if his worst fears were realised."Allow me to add F**K NO! Never ever ever. Hell’s teeth and a bucket of blood," he exclaimed.The passionate actor added in view of his 12.5 million followers: "Seriously, what kind of resistance can we engage in to stop this imponderably catastrophic eventuality?"I love my country: to see it being shafted by this unspeakably squalid moral vacuum … HELL NO." (sic)He even tagged Boris Johnson in his rant, exclaiming: "No @BorisJohnson no no no no no NO! Under absolutely no circumstances.

Brian May, 75, has described his “anger and disgust” at the way the current Conservative government has conducted itself in a rage-fuelled rant on Instagram. In view of his 3.1 million followers, the Queen musician called for a general election and suggested the reinstatement of Boris Johnson, 58, as Prime Minister would be “the last straw”.Yesterday Liz Truss, 47, told the public she would be stepping down as PM and that her replacement would be appointed in the space of just one week. However, many people across the country are now calling for a general election, including the Queen guitarist. “This morning I feel anger and disgust,” May began in a furious rant, as he posted a picture of an article discussing who might be the next Conservative Prime Minister with a big red cross through it. “The appalling, inexcusable ruination of our country.That’s what ALL these ‘candidates’ stand for,” he wrote. “They are all complicit in this mess which has made us the laughing stock of the world.“The people of this country demand THEIR right to choose our next leader,” he continued.“Nothing less than an IMMEDIATE GENERAL ELECTION is acceptable.“Even to consider reinstating the disgraced liar Boris Johnson is the last straw.” The musician insisted: “We CANNOT let this bunch of clowns do this to us any more.“They need to be removed and replaced, never to return.

Politicians who see their job as a 'career' & NOT a 'public duty' to all of us.“They don't know the meaning of the words.SHAMEFUL.” (sic)Shortly after her tweet, it seemed Carol was reflecting the views of the nation, gaining more than 200 likes and others taking to the comments section to share their views on the current state of government.User Gareth Pennington wrote: “The government won't call a GE as they know they will lose.”And another added: “That’s a very good way of putting it, or, they are only interested in getting their trotters in the trough!!”Sharing their anger at the news of Suella’s resignation, Dan Halehurst joined in the conversation, writing: “These ministerial positions have been changing every other week it seems.Tory Musical Chairs.“AND on top of it all they get a handsome payout for their FAILURE to do their job upon their resignation.“I've never known anything like it.”Agreeing with Carol’s statement, another encouraged the star to go into politics herself, writing: “Thank you for sharing your comments on this subject.“You should go into Politics.
