Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson today announced his eldest brother Bill has sadly died a day after being admitted to intensive care with coronavirus aged 70. It comes as Britain recorded its highest number of coronavirus deaths for more than four months on Saturday after another 150 victims were announced.  Department of Health statistics show this many deaths haven't been registered since June 10, when 164 lab-confirmed fatalities were added to the toll.

In May the figure was 72 percent. Misinformation about the effects of a vaccine and the original causes behind the coronavirus pandemic have also contributed to the overall uncertainty. 'Operation Warp Speed' which

President Donald Trump boasted that he's leading in early voting and said he was aiming for 12 years in office during his first of two campaign stops Saturday in Muskegon, Michigan - despite polls showing he is trailing Joe Biden.  The president called his Democratic rival Joe Biden a 'criminal' and knocked around the state's Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer - who was almost kidnapped in a recent plot - sending his raucous crowd into chants of 'lock him and her up'.  Trump then went on to mock the idea of replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day and hit out at protesters who have gathered nationwide calling for racial equality, saying that seeing them being 'pushed about' by federal agents was 'beautiful'.  Michigan marked the first stop on his three-day campaign trip across four key swing states and comes just one week after he held his first public event following his four-day stint in hospital for COVID-19.   President Donald Tr
