Ashli Babbitt's widower says the Capitol police officer who fatally shot his wife during the January 6 riot should 'suck it up' after the cop's tearful interview where he said he's been receiving death threats.  Aaron Babbitt told of his outrage at Lieutenant Michael Byrd's interview with NBC News on Thursday, hours after he was unmasked as Ashli's killer.  Aaron said: 'I don't even want to hear him talk about how he's getting death threats, and he's scared. I've been getting death threats since January 7th - two, three, five, 10 a day - and all I did on January 6th is becoming a widower,' he told Carlson.  'So you're going to have to suck it up, bud, and take it.'    Asked if he's seen the full interview, Babbitt - who lives in California - said he'd only seen clips, but added that 'my agitation is going through the roof right now' as a result of what he had watched.  He spoke hours after Byrd said his act

can you tell what is wrong with this qr code?

Shoppers have been left bemused after trying to check into a Coles with a rather unfortunately placed QR code.  A video taken at Coles in Croydon, in Melbourne's east, has gone viral on social media site Reddit showing their QR check in code placed on the sliding entrance door of the store. However, shoppers have been left unable to sign in as the automatic doors move the QR code out of view when they approach the door.  The person filming the video walks up to the door and shows the QR code disappearing behind the other side of the door as he approaches, leaving no time to be able to scan the code to check into the venue.    Posted to a Melbourne enthusiasts group, Reddit users have commented on the hilarity of the video, poking fun at the ridiculousness of positioning of the code.  'I think you may have stumbled onto the set of a potential Mr Bean sketch,' said one, with another replying how easily they could see that occurring. 'As a proud boy of Croydon I can say;

Renovation of Boris' flat cost at least £52,000: Party handed over 'bridging loan' to cover cost of works that was 'reimbursed in full' by Tory donor Lord Brownlow, accounts reveal

A Tory donor provided more than £52,000 to cover some of the costs of Boris Johnson's lavish renovations to his Downing Street residence, according to party accounts. The refurbishments to the flat in No 11 sparked sustained scrutiny of Mr Johnson's finances, with the works vastly exceeding the £30,000 annual limit afforded to the Prime Minister. Conservative Party accounts published today said its central office provided a 'bridging loan' of £52,802 to cover the works after being invoiced by the Cabinet Office in June last year. The party was 'reimbursed in full' in October by Lord Brownlow, a former vice-chairman of the party who has made more than £3million in donations over the years.

A Muslim car salesman has won a religious harassment claim after his boss told him he believed 'Allah is the devil'. Temitayo Ajala said his manager was told to say sorry but did a 'loud fart' and 'giggled' during the apology, a tribunal heard. Lyndon Parker had sought to justify his comment by saying it was made as he tried to defend his own religious belief that Allah is not God, the hearing was told. Mr Ajala, who is black, also complained he was given a worse company car than two new white employees at Doves Vauxhall dealership in Southampton, Hampshire. He said he was told he would have to drive a pink Viva and was then offered a Vauxhall Adam, which he refused.

A man who was arrested after microwave food was allegedly injected with syringes filled with his blood at three London supermarkets 'threw one of the needles at a jogger'.   The man clashed with Tom Harrington, 38, after chanting 'run fat boy run' as he ran past him just after 7pm last night in Hammersmith, West London. Speaking to MailOnline today Mr Harrington, a media analyst, said the man produced a metal cylinder filled with about 30-syringes. He took one out and threw it at his feet before nonchalantly walking off.

welsh campaigners say the dragon should have a penis on the flag as on royal mint coins

A public campaign is being mounted to add a penis to the dragon on the Welsh flag - with civil servants tasked with tackling the delicate proposition.   More than 300 people have so far signed an official Welsh Government petition to add a new permanent fixture to the famous red dragon that flies on Welsh public buildings.  Supporters are anticipating similar success after the Royal Mint added a penis to their Welsh dragon on millions of coins five years ago. Coin artists at the Royal Mint based in Llantrisant, near Cardiff, put the added extra value to the dragon on £1 and £20 coins. Now proud supporters want every red dragon on the Welsh flag to get one too - even though it is a mythical creature. More than 300 people have so far signed an official Welsh Government petition that will be discussed by officials in Senedd The public campaign aims to add a penis to the famous red dragon on the Welsh flag - with civil servants tasked with tackling the delicate proposition Under Welsh Sene

Ben Wallace slams Pen Farthing's tearful wildlife campaigner friend as an 'armchair amateur' on GMB as furious row over Kabul animal rescue mission deepens

The Defence Secretary today blasted Pen Farthing's tearful wildlife campaigner friend as an 'armchair amateur' in a furious clash on Good Morning Britain.  Dominic Dyer was on the verge of tears as he told how the former Royal Marine had been turned away from Kabul airport after trying to leave with 69 Afghans and almost 200 dogs.    He criticised the Ministry of Defence's Afghan rescue operation as 'appalling' and said it had been 'badly run.  But Mr Wallace hit back, saying Mr Dyer was talking 'nonsense' and dismissing claims the government had 'blocked' his friend's private rescue flight.  'No one blocked flights,' he said. 'My officials and staff have been inundated with abusive conversations and emails. 'Pen was called forward to be last Friday, we encouraged him to do that. He said he wouldn't without animals and staff.' And he branded Mr Dyer's comments 'an insult to the men and women who have just
