Dylan Cope died after an A&E nurse practitioner mistook his abdominal pain for flu, having ignored his GP’s referral for suspected appendicitis. His family thought she was a doctor. A coroner found he would have survived had a senior doctor examined him. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

HUGE story from @Telegraph tonight. UEFA paid off an alleged mistress of Gianni Infantino while he was its general secretary. The woman received a six-figure sum after the alleged relationship with Mr Infantino while he was a top official at European football’s governing body. She is alleged to have been promoted by Mr Infantino during their relationship. After she left, the football body is said to have paid for her to do an MBA at a business school.
