Chris Fearne Will Not Seek PL Deputy Leader Re-Election

Jul 25 2024

Chris Fearne announced he will not seek re-election as Labour deputy leader in September. This follows a magistrate’s ruling that he and others face trial for fraud in the Vitals hospitals case.

Fearne, who resigned as deputy prime minister two months ago, remained Labour’s deputy leader for parliamentary affairs.

No new deputy prime minister has been appointed due to party rules stating the deputy leader assumes this role when Labour is in government.

Fearne decided not to seek re-election to allow a new deputy leader to become deputy prime minister, emphasizing national interest and respect for the courts.

He is confident in proving his innocence, citing a recently uncovered malicious frame-up costing over €6 million by some of the accused in the Vitals case.

Fearne stressed the importance of Malta’s interests and his integrity, both in and out of court. Labour Party elections for deputy leaders and other positions will be held on September 13-14, with nominations open from August 23-25.

If no candidate achieves a 50% majority, a second round will be conducted.

Major Deadpool And Wolverine Hype Ahead Of Global Release

Jul 24 2024

Ahead of the much-anticipated global release of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine,’ the film has generated major hype worldwide.

One area where the film has made a significant impact is gaming, with the release of themed Deadpool and Wolverine Xbox controllers going viral. These playful controllers are shaped to resemble Deadpool’s and Wolverine’s behinds. Unfortunately, they will only be available to one lucky winner, who will also receive a Deadpool-inspired Xbox Series X Console.

Another clever marketing tactic is the Deadpool & Wolverine Official Popcorn Bucket, inviting fans to reach into Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine’s mouth. This bucket, inspired by the viral Dune 2 popcorn bucket, has yet to be confirmed for availability in theaters.

The film has also made a surprising appearance in the world of Formula One. Alpine, the team in which Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has a stake, will race at the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend with a Deadpool and Wolverine-inspired livery. The car has swapped its traditional blue and pink colors for a striking red and black design with yellow accents.

‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ will be releasing globally on the 26th of July.
