Even though the UK statistics watchdog calculated that the promise of an extra £350m a week for the NHS post-Brexit was “misleading,” Boris Johnson has decided to make the claim again. The article, which appeared in the Daily Telegraph, could be seen as many, as another attempt by Boris to become the leader of his party, and PM of Britain. It could lead other people to simply see him trying to mislead the nation...again. During the referendum campaign a battle...

Donald Trump has been quick to react to the terrorist attack in London today, with his social media account abuzz with tweets on "loser terrorists" who need to be "dealt with in a much tougher manner".

The novelty gifts come in three editions - the electoral college edition, the Syria edition and the sources...
