Boris Johnson reckons we will return to office life and working from home won’t last

‘Donald J Trump ain’t going anywhere’ – Trump remains the dominant force at US conservative conference

Video – Fireworks fired at police as hundreds take part in anti-lockdown protest

The Sun and Mail Online have both backtracked on stories ran this weekend that suggested Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was “dancing a jig” on his way to the Cenotaph on Rembrance Sunday.

Although it is unlikely corrections or clarifications will be run by either titles, the Press Gazette reported this morning that both stories have been pulled after The Daily Mirror reported that the photos in fact showed Corbyn walking along and talking to 92-year-old World War Two veteran George Durack who said he was: “walking along with Jeremy and he certainly didn’t dance”.

The Mail Online story was headlined: “Is this really the day to audition for Strictly, Jeremy? Corbyn appears to dance a jig at the Cenotaph as he waits for the Remembrance Day parade.”

The Sun’s headline said: “Jeremy Corbyn dances his way down Downing Street as he attends Remembrance Sunday.”

Today The Sun & Mail chose #remebrancesunday to peddle more smears. No, Corbyn wasn’t jigging towards the cenotaph. pic.twitter.com/vtV6VnY8BQ

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
