Boris to be PM

Boris Johnson has been voted leader of the Conservative party, so he is set to replace Theresa May as PM.

He was congratulated in his win by none other than Donald Trump, proving all buffoons flock together.

He has promised Brexit by October and is willing to have no deal.

I for one hope Brexit never comes and I’m not looking forward to years under Boris.

Andy Murray’s gold post box hit by car

The gold post box that commemorates Andy Murray's Olympic medal win has been knocked down by a car.

A silver Mercedes knocked into the post box after narrowly missing a group of teenagers.

The post box, in Dunblane, was painted after the Olympic tennis champion's singles win over Roger Federer in 2012.

Thankfully it was not an intentional hit and hopefully the post box will be restored to its former glory soon.

Hopefully this is not an omen for Andy Murray’s future performances.

Hong Kong armed mob violence

The Hong Kong protesters were set upon by a masked armed mob wearing white t-shirts.

The masked men stormed Yuen Long train station.

Footage posted on social media showed dozens of men attacking people with wooden rods and metal sticks inside the station.

Forty-five people were injured, with one person in a critical condition.

The protesters were travelling back from a rally where they had already been attacked with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Many criticised how slow the police were to respond to the attacks on protesters.

Video footage also surfaced of pro-Beijing lawmaker Junius Ho, shaking hands with men in white and giving them the thumbs-up signal.

He said he did not know the men and was just responding to their greeting.

The men in the white t-shirts were suspected of being in organised crime syndicates.

This is a sinister turn in the pro-democracy protests.

Zara to switch to sustainable clothes

Zara - and other brands like Pull & Bear and Bershka - have promised to only sell sustainable clothes by 2025.

The company that owns these shops says all cotton, linen and polyester they sell will be organic, sustainable or recycled.

From next year, containers will appear in Zara stores to collect your old clothes so they can be reused or recycled into new items.

This is great news in the fight against the fast fashion industry, which sees the UK send 235 million items of clothing to landfill each year, according to the most recent figures.

Zara will also eliminate its use of plastic bags.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in psychiatric hospital

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is being held in psychiatric hospital

Her transfer follows her hunger strike last month in protest at her "unfair imprisonment".

In January, Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, from London, went on a three-day hunger strike in protest against being denied specialist medical care. 

Mr Ratcliffe said he had felt "euphoric" when he first heard his wife had been moved to a hospital, thinking it could be a prelude to getting treatment or even her release.

However, after her father was refused access to visit her in hospital or even allowed a phone call, the family has grown increasingly concerned.

Nazanin is still being held in Iran and now more than ever the campaign is in full swing to free her.

Ebola in Goma

There has been an Ebola outbreak in Goma, reported by the BBC’s World Service.

Some people don’t believe that the outbreak was not a political move and are not washing their hands.

The outbreak does not at present seem to be that severe.

Sudan livestream massacre

There has been a live-streamed massacre In Sudan.

They are just fighting for democracy and they are being killed.

Murray preparing for singles return

After losing the mixed doubles Murray is already raring to go and return to singles tennis.

Murray lost his mixed doubles match yesterday and fell out of Wimbledon.

But he is already training to get back to singles tennis, like the champion he is.

He is doing weight training to strengthen the muscles in his hip.

I can’t wait for him to return to the fray.

Billionaire activist enters Democratic presidential race

Billionaire Tom Steyer has announced his intention to join the Democrat presidential race.

Tom Steyer is an environmentalist and advocate to get Donald Trump impeached.

He had previously said that he would not run for office, but he has clearly changed his mind.

Forbes lists Mr Steyer's net worth at $1.6bn (£1.2bn).

Despite being a financier he blames a lot of America’s problems on corporations.

But with his worth it is hard to see what new energy he will add to America.

After all he is one of the very wealthy interests he is warning Americans against.

America is destined it seems to be ruled by the wealthy, Obama is a long way away.

Trump criticises US ambassador

Downing Street has reaffirmed its "full support" for the UK's ambassador to the US after Donald Trump said he will no longer work with him.

Leaked e-mails revealed that Sir Kim Darroch had called the administration inept.

Donald Trump’s declaration that he would no longer work with him was in answer to these leaked e-mails.

Number 10 called the leak "unfortunate" and said the UK and US still shared a "special and enduring" relationship.

This is yet further evidence that the special relationship isn’t so special.

Trump also criticised Theresa May’s handling of Brexit, saying it was a “mess”.

The US win again

The USA comfortably won against the Netherlands in the final of the women’s World Cup.

So it’s all over.

No more football for me until the men’s Euros next year.

Nile Wilson’s Mental Health struggle

Nile Wilson has been suffering from depression and anxiety after injuring his neck.

Nile used his vlog to announce his struggles.

The Olympic gymnast has been keeping a vlog of his gymnastics training and family life.

Nile had used his vlog to inspire so-called Wilsonators to pursue gymnastics and achieve their goals.

So it is a shock that such a positive young man has been suffering from depression.

He is going back to blogging and can be inspiration to mental health sufferers.

Bomb squad called over glitter

Straight Pride are no fun.

They called in the bomb squad and FBI after receiving envelops filled with that terrifying substance, glitter.

Three members of Super Happy Fun America called the authorities over envelopes filled with a "granular substance".

The letters prompted a response from the FBI, three fire departments and the bomb squad.

Not only is this a massive waste of resources in a world where real terrorism exists, it gives the impression that straight people are no fun.

This group, based in Boston, should have it’s name changed to grouchy miserable America.

They should have no right to call themselves straight pride.

Glitter bombing is a peaceful protest against those who oppose the LGBT community and it’s fun too.

These guys need to lighten up.

The lionesses roared out

The lionesses are out of the World Cup after a sterling performance against the USA.

The US got the first goal and put the England team on the back foot.

But Ellen White kept England in the game with an equaliser.

Unfortunately the US scored again to bring them to a 2-1 lead.

Ellen White went and scored again, much to my excitement only to have the goal disallowed on VAR because it was off side.

There was a chance right near the end with an England penalty, but it was saved.

So the lionesses are going home.

They’ve made me a better feminist and I’m sad to see them go.

BBC tackles equal pay with star salaries

The top 12 earners were all male last year, but Claudia Winkleman is now eighth, Zoe Ball is ninth and Vanessa Feltz is joint 10th.

Match of the Day's Gary Lineker is still at the top of the list, on an unchanged £1.75m per year.

Despite her placing in eighth Claudia Winkleman still earned just over half Graham Norton’s salary, who came in third and there are all men above her.

Graham Norton earns £610,000 to Winkleman’s £370,000.

But it must be said these staggering sums do not tackle issues of equal pay amongst more average earners at the BBC.

This story still speaks of monetary misogyny at the BBC.

Hong Kong protesters breach government building

After a long siege the protesters in Hong Kong have breached a government building.

The police did not move against them despite threats.

The protesters are mostly peaceful.

The extradition bill they are protesting against has been indefinitely suspended.
