CAIRO - Islamic State said the London Bridge attack on Friday was carried out by one of its fighters, the group’s Amaq news agency reported on Saturday. The group did not provide any evidence. It added that the attack was made in response to Islamic State calls to target countries that have been part of a coalition fighting the jihadist group.

British police on Friday shot dead a man wearing a fake suicide vest who stabbed two people to death in London and wounded three more before being wrestled to the ground by bystanders, in what the authorities called a terrorist attack.

Personally I think it’s a good opportunity for other nations to take advantage of them and buy up their foreign assets for pennies on the dollar. They’ll have nobody covering their backs.

Boris Johnson promises to give state aid to UK companies to stop them collapsing after BrexitThe prime minister announced that he would remove EU rules preventing the government from awarding contracts to UK-based businesses. I thought brexit was going to be great for British business... It's almost like they've been lying to us hhhmmm 🤔 He does not have the power to do so and, as such, is effectively declaring that he is going to implement a No Deal Brexit as the EU will not accept such an amendment to the Withdrawal Agreement.
