The solar eclipse, and the alleged financial irregularities of the Labour politician and deputy leader Angela Raynor are two topics attracting attention.

@BriefcaseMike
Our media's obsession with an eclipse in America is weird. But I suppose you could view America being plunged into darkness as a rehearsal for a possible second Trump Presidency, metaphorically speaking. #bbcpm
@Occupy
BREAKING: President Biden in a newly released video trolls Donald Trump by mocking the time that he stared directly into an eclipse. In it, the president is seen standing on the same balcony where Trump stood during the eclipse in 2017, except Biden is actually wearing proper eye protection.
"An eclipse is worth marveling at” he says “But don't be silly, folks – play it safe and wear protective eyewear,"
@DavidHeadViews
Why can't Americans watch the total eclipse of the sun quietly?
