'Worst moment of whole epidemic': Britain says new virus strain up to 70 per cent more transmissible

A mutated coronavirus strain up to 70 per cent more transmissible than earlier versions is spreading rapidly across Britain.

 
President Donald Trump, right, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are at odds over the alleged Russia hack.

Trump downplays Russia hack, clashes with Pompeo

What virus? It's All about Me

 

Washington: Donald Trump is at odds with one of his closest allies, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, over who was responsible for the massive cyber-attack on the US government.

While Mr Pompeo fell into line with the consensus that Russia orchestrated the hack, Mr Trump suggested without evidence that China may have been the culprit, and that it may have also helped rig the election in favour of Joe Biden.

The Coalition's 'right to rule' mentality

The Government is well and truly broken, says Peter Henning. 

 

Accusing its own citizens of being “an enemy of the state” and creating millions of enemies in its own region and around the world on a range of issues suggests that representatives of the Morrison Government bear comparison with the ministers of George III in 1774, who dismissed Edmund Burke with a shrug and a joke. 

The bellowing of the Home Affairs minister, akin to Trump’s bellicose attacks on all those he doesn’t like, stands in stark contrast to the inability of his department to do anything constructive during any real threat to Australia.

Australians like Adam Bandt and the Chinese-Australians gratuitously attacked by Eric Abetz aren’t “enemies of the state” and nor are those people who this Government likes to lock up for years on end. 

But any solutions to the “state of mindlessness” which dominates the crazy Versailles Canberra bubble can only occur through alternative channels, such as state governments filling the void.

There seems nothing else on offer. 

This is TRUMPISM
