On the street corners of Minneapolis on Saturday night, people were gathering in groups of five or 10. Bracing the freezing cold, they stood in silent vigil holding candles to remember another one of their own who had been shot dead by Donald Trump’s federal agents.

He was observing ICE in south Minneapolis on Saturday morning when he was shot dead by federal agents. Stephen Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff who many see as the architect of this terror being unleased on Minneapolis, described the incident as an “assassin trying to murder federal agents”.

Glad of the win. Almost more glad to have the game out of the way. “There was a lot of stuff going on all week that wasn't in our control, they were talking about 'how are they going to play', 'who are they going to pick', or 'what's going to happen here'. They're good hurlers, they know what they are at, so just let them in and let them at it. Just happy to have it out of the way, if I'm being honest,” remarked the Cork manager.

New Green leader Zack Polanski risks undermining wider public support for environmental causes by linking them to his extreme social and economic positions, a leading Tory warned today. Mr Polanski, who brands himself an 'eco-populist, last week demanded that the UK scrap its nuclear trident deterrent if Donald Trump's annexes Greenland. He has also suggested the Greens could link up with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and his new hard Left outfit, Your Party. On the few occasions he does talk about the environment, however, he binds it to radical left-wing economics and causes. Voters will assume protecting nature and reducing pollution mean accepting economic self-harm and extreme societal change - he is effectively Jeremy Corbyn in disguise.

Matthew Morrison enjoyed a mini-Glee reunion with his former castmates Kevin McHale and Jonathan Groff backstage at the Circle in the Square Theatre in Midtown Manhattan last Tuesday. The Actors Award winners were there supporting the Tony-winning triple threat as he stars as Beyond the Sea crooner Bobby Darin through March 29 in the Broadway musical, Just in Time. Some consider Glee 'cursed' as three of the cast members - Cory Monteith, Mark Salling and Naya Rivera - all died young. 'I mean, Glee has the most incredible cast of insanely talented people, so it makes sense that we would all be here.' Morrison is next scheduled to bring his 27-date Matthew Morrison Presents tour to City Winery in Nashville, TN this Friday.
