Readers respond to an editorial and other articles on the fallout of the Peter Mandelson scandal What a great editorial ( The Guardian view on Starmer’s trust crisis: it is unlikely to be managed away, 13 February ). Your statement that the prime minister has “learned nothing and forgotten nothing” sums up much of his and our present situation. He was put where he is now by apparatchiks who failed to suggest that without any vision he would be at the mercy of people who would tug him to and fro – which they have. This weakness – which was shared by Boris Johnson, and why Dominic Cummings called Johnson “ the Trolley ” – means few people have any reason to trust him. That Starmer’s judgment is flawed is demonstrated by the number of U-turns that he has been forced to make. I heard somebody on Radio 4 saying that Starmer “emanates blandness”. On the benches behind him are many stronger people. He needs to be ditched before the country is totally shrouded in gloom. Juliet Solomon Frome, Somerset Continue reading...

It’s not surprising that rural practices such as Coniston in the Lake District find it hard to recruit GPs, writes Dr John Holden Regarding your report ( Lake District village struggles to find GP – despite ad pledging ‘we’ll never run out of beer’, 11 February ), Coniston’s situation is not a question of marketing flair but of structural pressure in rural general practice. Findings from a recent survey of our member doctors working in rural and remote areas underline the scale of the challenge. One in four doctors told us that working in a single-handed practice has negatively affected their wellbeing or contributed to burnout. Continue reading...

No Arrests In Nancy Guthrie Case After Major Operation Near Her Home Authored by Jacki Thrapp via The Epoch Times, No arrests have been made in the Nancy Guthrie case after a night of heavy police activity two miles from the missing 84-year-old’s home. Nancy Guthrie, who is the mother of “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on Jan. 31 after she had dinner with her family. As the search for Guthrie entered its third week , a large police presence responded to a road near the missing woman’s home in the Tucson, Arizona area on the night of Feb. 13, which included a series of sheriff’s and FBI vehicles as well as SWAT and forensics teams. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the police activity was related to the case, but did not release details about what happened inside the blocked-off scene. “Law enforcement activity is underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd & N First Ave related to the Guthrie case,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared in an X post . “Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI, no additional information is currently available.” The Epoch Times contacted the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI for more information, but had received no response at the time of publishing. Around the same time that police activity was taking place in Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood late Friday night, a separate incident was happening at a Culver’s restaurant, also two miles away from her home. The FBI and the sheriff’s department tagged and towed a Range Rover SUV from a Culver’s restaurant parking lot, which confirmed the activity was part of the Nancy Guthrie case. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31 when a relative drove her back home from a family dinner at 9:48 p.m. The 84-year-old’s doorbell camera was disconnected in the early morning hours of Feb. 1. The FBI accessed footage from her Nest camera and released video of a suspect, without a time stamp, on Feb. 12. FBI Phoenix described the...

Pentagon tracked sanctioned Veronica III from Caribbean Sea after it left Venezuela on day Maduro was captured US military forces boarded another sanctioned tanker in the Indian Ocean after tracking the vessel from the Caribbean Sea in an effort to target illicit oil connected to Venezuela , the Pentagon said on Sunday. Venezuela had faced US sanctions on its oil for several years, relying on a shadow fleet of falsely flagged tankers to smuggle crude into global supply chains. President Donald Trump ordered a quarantine of sanctioned tankers in December to pressure then president Nicolás Maduro before Maduro was apprehended in January during an American military operation.

Omnibus theatre, London Inspired by the 1998 shooting of Tyisha Miller, the lost hopes and memories of a young Black woman – played beautifully by Jada Evelyn Ramsey – are explored through words, dance and beatboxing Before George Floyd, after Rodney King, and in between countless others, there was Tyisha Miller. She was 19 when she was shot dead by police officers while she lay unconscious in her car in California, in 1998, joining the long, appalling, litany of Black victims of police violence. Here she is named Myeisha Mills, still dead after an officer shoots 12 bullets into her body, but simultaneously alive or rising from the dreamscape of the title to tell us about herself with a painfully exuberant, sweet guilelessness.
