Providing an update Thursday on the wildfire burning near and in Jasper, Alta., Premier Danielle Smith appeared visibly shaken, as she provided remarks on the "out of control" fire engulfing the town.

“We have all seen on the news and social media the horrific pictures and videos coming out of Jasper. Homes and businesses have been lost to a wildfire that people are calling a ‘wall of flames.’ There is no denying that this is the worst nightmare for any community… Jasper we will continue to stand by you,” Smith said.

“Wind gust(s) moved that fire five kilometers in, probably less than 30 minutes with a wall of fire that was about 100m high. I think people need to picture what those wildfire folks were experiencing at that time. Any firefighter will tell you there's little to nothing you can do when you have a wall of flames coming in like that. Kudos to those folks that were the heroes that stood their ground in order to fight that fire,” said Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services Mike Ellis.

Now, months after the head of the army said Britain should train up a "citizen army" ready to fight a war, Rishi Sunak is proposing 12 months of mandatory national service.

Labour has criticised the pledge as "desperate" and "only needed because the Tories hollowed out the armed forces".

Ireland's deputy prime minister said people are crossing the border from Northern Ireland as they are afraid of being sent to Rwanda.

The Irish government is preparing emergency legislation that will allow people to be sent back to the UK.

But Rishi Sunak said he was “not interested” in any sort of returns deal if the European Union did not allow the UK to send back asylum seekers who had arrived from France.

Labour extends lead over Tories in exclusive poll for Sky News | Vote 2024
Labour extends lead over Tories in exclusive poll for Sky News | Vote 2024 paccione .co.uk 2 Views • 7 months ago

The Labour Party has extended its lead over the Conservatives, according to the first exclusive YouGov poll of the campaign for Sky News.

One week into the race for Number 10, Labour is 27 points ahead of the Tories.

The Great Britain poll - conducted on Monday and Tuesday this week - puts Labour on 47%, the Tories on 20%, Reform on 12%, the Liberal Democrats on 9% and Greens on 7%.

The poll suggests the Conservatives have failed to get a bounce from Rishi Sunak's surprise election announcement and are still struggling to win back its coalition of 2019 voters.
