Speaking to Sky, Nandy castigated Patel and Johnson’s approach to liaising with France, and also called for policies to tackle the wider issues connected to illicit Channel crossings, such as a lack of safe routes to claim asylum in the UK. Patel had separately spoken on Sunday to Kajsa Ollongren, the Dutch interior minister, UK officials say.

While UK officials have held talks in France, Patel, the home secretary, was removed from plans after intense French anger at what they felt was provocative UK action in tweeting the letter. “It’s just simply unconscionable and any responsible government on either side of the Channel would set aside those differences and work together to deal with what is a collective shared problem that will only be solved together.”įrance invited representatives from Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the European Commission to the meeting in Calais after 27 people hoping to claim asylum in the UK died last week. “France blames Britain, Britain blames France – the truth is that both governments are engaging in a blame game while children drown off their coastline,” the shadow foreign secretary told Sky’s Trevor Phillips on Sunday programme. The diplomatic spat between the countries, which saw France disinvite Priti Patel from a meeting of EU ministers in Calais on Sunday, after Boris Johnson tweeted a letter on the issue to Emmanuel Macron before the French president had received it, was “simply unconscionable”, Lisa Nandy said. RIP Leonard Nimoy: Our favorite Mr.The UK and France are “engaging in a blame game” over people making perilous Channel crossings in small boats, Labour has said, rather than sitting down together to try to work out a way to prevent more deaths. We don’t know his health, his life or his grieving process – he was visibly moved when speaking about Nimoy when we met, and during his remarks, and to pretend that we know what we’d do in his situation is kind of ridiculous. My humble opinion – 83-year-olds don’t travel that easily, and he apparently flew out of PBIA first thing Sunday morning to get home, although he missed the funeral.


Shatner’s been active on Twitter over the past few days answering questions about Nimoy and publicly deflecting criticism from the New York Daily News and others who opine that he should have either skipped the ball, which he was under contract to attend for months, or taken a red eye from Miami immediately to try to make the early morning flight in L.A. I got a chance to meet Shatner that evening and talk a little about why he felt it so important to be there, and then heard his moving statement about his friend when accepting an award from the Red Cross later that evening. I’ll be talking about the ongoing story surrounding “Star Trek” star William Shatner and his choice to attend the International Red Cross Ball at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday, missing the Sunday morning funeral of his longtime friend and co-star Leonard Nimoy back in Los Angeles. Below, watch a vintage meltdown from his 'Inside Edition' days that has just resurfaced (via Gawker ), in which he freaks out over bad writing on the teleprompter and unleashed an. Just found out that in a few hours I’ll be taping an interview with “Inside Edition,” which plays locally on WPEC Channel 12 at 7:30 p.m. It should come as no surprise that Bill OReilly has always been a screamer, but its always nice to have video proof.
