  76. &lt;p&gt;WETHERSPOONS is set to close a city centre pub after 30 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  77.  
  78.  
  79.  
  80. &lt;p&gt;Punters have been left gutted after hearing that the fan favourite boozer in Preston would be going on the market.&lt;/p&gt;

  89.  
  90.  
  91.  
  92. &lt;p&gt;The Grey Friar, which opened in the 1990s, has now been put up for sale, the pub chain has said.&lt;/p&gt;
  93.  
  94.  
  95.  
  96. &lt;p&gt;The popular Spoons boozer was a staple of the local area and will remain open until sold.&lt;/p&gt;
  97.  
  98.  
  99.  
  100. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson said that it will remain trading as a Wetherspoon pub&amp;nbsp;until it is sold and that there will be no redundancies made.&lt;/p&gt;
  101.  
  102.  
  103.  
  104. &lt;p&gt;He added&amp;nbsp;that, when the establishment is sold, staff will be offered&amp;nbsp;jobs at other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pubs/&quot;&gt;pubs&lt;/a&gt; in the chain.&lt;/p&gt;
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108. &lt;p&gt;The Grey Friar was named after Franciscan monks, who founded a nearby friary in the early 13th century. &lt;/p&gt;
  109.  
  110.  
  111.  
  112. &lt;p&gt;This&amp;nbsp;is also the namesake of Friargate, the street on which the boozer&amp;nbsp;stands.&lt;/p&gt;
  113.  
  114.  
  115.  
  116. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully for Wetherspoons fans, there is another branch in the city centre,&amp;nbsp;the Twelve Tellers on Church Street.&lt;/p&gt;
  117.  
  118.  
  119.  
  120. &lt;p&gt;But locals were still devastated by the move with many losing their favourite&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35100135/best-named-pub-list-drunken-duck/&quot;&gt;boozer&lt;/a&gt; in town, commonly known as &amp;#8216;Greyfriars&amp;#8217; to many.&lt;/p&gt;
  121.  
  122.  
  123.  
  124. &lt;p&gt;Many took to social media to weigh in with their opinions after the closure was announced.&lt;/p&gt;
  125.  
  126.  
  127.  
  128. &lt;p&gt;One wrote: &amp;#8220;Happy memories starting our Friday nights in Greyfriars… it will be missed!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  167.  
  168. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It comes as a wave of closures have hit UK pubs recently, figures published by the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34836599/wetherspoons-pint-prices-rise-tim-martin-blames-labour/&quot;&gt;British Beer and Pub Association&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;revealed around six pubs closed every week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  169.  
  170.  
  171.  
  172. &lt;p&gt;The trade body found 289 boozers served last orders for the final time in 2024 across&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  173.  
  174.  
  175.  
  176. &lt;p&gt;The data, released in April, suggested that with the closure of six boozers a week came the loss of 4,500 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  177.  
  178.  
  179.  
  180. &lt;p&gt;With employer National &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/insurance/&quot;&gt;Insurance&lt;/a&gt; contributions being hiked with the minimum wage, more pubs are expected to shut this year too.&lt;/p&gt;
  181.  
  182.  
  183.  
  184. &lt;p&gt;To cope with the increased running costs pubs are forced to increase their prices.&lt;/p&gt;
  185.  
  186.  
  187.  
  188. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33068503/wetherspoons-price-rises-all-uk-pubs-drinks-meal-deals/&quot;&gt;Wetherspoon also exclusively revealed to The Sun&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in January it had increased the price of a host of drinks and meal deals by up to 30p.&lt;/p&gt;
  189.  
  190.  
  191.  
  192. &lt;p&gt;Prices on drinks were hiked by 15p, while meal deals were increased by 30p.&lt;/p&gt;
  193.  
  194.  
  195.  
  196. &lt;p&gt;Wetherspoons said a number of drinks, though, had not gone up in price including all draught lagers like Budweiser, Carling and Coors.&lt;/p&gt;
  197.  
  198.  
  199.  
  200. &lt;p&gt;Boss&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tim-martin/&quot;&gt;Tim Martin&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said the pub chain had &amp;#8220;tried to remain as competitive as possible&amp;#8221; with its pricing.&lt;/p&gt;
  201.  
  202.  
  203.  
  204. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  205. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  206. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;How can I save money at Wetherspoons?&lt;/h3&gt;
  207. &lt;/div&gt;
  208. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  209. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content-img&quot;&gt;
  210. &lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/close-j-d-wetherspoon-pub-878092833_bfd919.jpg?strip=all&amp;&amp;w=620&amp;&amp;h=413&amp;&amp;crop=1&quot; width=&quot;620&quot; height=&quot;413&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
  213. &lt;div&gt;
  214. &lt;p&gt;FREE refills &amp;#8211; Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day.&lt;/p&gt;
  215. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check a map&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  216. &lt;p&gt;So if you&amp;#8217;re planning a pint at a Spoons, it&amp;#8217;s worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you&amp;#8217;re settling in at the cheapest.&lt;/p&gt;
  217. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose your day&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Each night the pub&amp;nbsp;chain runs certain food theme nights.&lt;/p&gt;
  218. &lt;p&gt;For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.&lt;/p&gt;
  219. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pick-up vouchers &amp;#8211;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Students can often pick up voucher books in their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.&lt;/p&gt;
  220. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get appy&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table &amp;#8211; but you don&amp;#8217;t need to be in the pub to use it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  221. &lt;p&gt;Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks.&amp;nbsp;The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.&lt;/p&gt;
  222. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check the date&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Every year, Spoons holds its&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hmrc/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Tax&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  223. &lt;p&gt;It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.&lt;/p&gt;
  224. &lt;p&gt;As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.&lt;/p&gt;
  225. &lt;/div&gt;
  226. &lt;/div&gt;

  526.  
  527.

  538.  
  539.  
  540.  
  541. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis may have to shut some of its factories doors due to the risk of hefty &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/european-union/&quot;&gt;European Union&lt;/a&gt; fines for not complying with CO2 emission targets, the chief of the Franco-Italian automaker for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; said on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  542.  
  543.  
  544.  
  545. &lt;p&gt;The automaker industry has successfully lobbied for more time to comply, as fines will be based on 2025-2027 emissions rather than just in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  546.  
  547.  
  548.  
  549. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis&amp;#8217; Europe chief Jean-Philippe Imparato slammed the targets, saying they were still unreachable for automakers, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autonews.com/stellantis/ane-stellantis-plant-closure-on-emissions-fines-0701/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Automotive News (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Automotive News&lt;/a&gt; reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  550.  
  551.  
  552.  
  553. &lt;p&gt;He then exposed his company to fines of up to 2.5 billion &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/euros/&quot;&gt;euros&lt;/a&gt; within &amp;#8220;two-three years.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  554.  
  555.  
  556.  
  557. &lt;p&gt;Speaking at a conference in the lower house of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parliament/&quot;&gt;parliament&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rome/&quot;&gt;Rome&lt;/a&gt;, he said that without significant changes in the regulatory situation by the end of this year, &amp;#8220;we will have to make tough decisions.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  558.  
  559.  
  560.  
  561. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis would therefore either have to double its electric vehicle sales, which is impossible, or cut the production of petrol and &lt;span id=&quot;bfcac230-6e6a-4aab-aa93-b83e5fea27e9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/span&gt; vehicles, Imparato said.&lt;/p&gt;
  562.  
  563.  
  564.  
  565. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have two solutions: either I push like hell (on electric)&amp;#8230; or I close down ICE (internal combustion engine vehicles). And therefore I close down factories,&amp;#8221; he said, at one point mentioning the Italian van-making plant of Atessa.&lt;/p&gt;
  566.  
  567.  
  568.  
  569. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile discussions &lt;span&gt;over the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;future&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of Maserati remain ongoing as&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/stellantis/&quot;&gt;Stellantis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;prepared to welcome its new CEO.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  570.  
  571.  
  572.  
  573. &lt;p&gt;New CEO Antonio Filosa faces huge financial decisions as a result of President Trump&amp;#8217;s brutal trade tariffs.&lt;/p&gt;

  601. &lt;p&gt;McKinsey was called in April this year to advise on struggling brands Maserati and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alfa-romeo/&quot;&gt;Alfa Romeo&lt;/a&gt;, with both experiencing a dire 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  602.  
  603.  
  604.  
  605. &lt;p&gt;Last year, the number of Maserati units sold plunged from 26,600 to just 11,300.&lt;/p&gt;
  606.  
  607.  
  608.  
  609. &lt;p&gt;Stellanis told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34370446/huge-sports-car-brand-could-be-sold/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Motor1&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;McKinsey has been asked to provide its considerations regarding the recently announced U.S. tariffs for Alfa Romeo and Maserati.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  610.  
  611.  
  612.  
  613. &lt;p&gt;Trump&amp;#8217;s new legislation means tariffs of at least 25 percent on anything imported into the US.&lt;/p&gt;
  614.  
  615.  
  616.  
  617. &lt;p&gt;Maserati has no new model launches scheduled as it&amp;nbsp;waits for a new&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;plan, with the last one having been put on hold by Stellantis in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  618.  
  619.  
  620.  
  621. &lt;p&gt;The plan is expected to be presented soon after Filosa starts his new role.&lt;/p&gt;
  622.  
  623.  
  624.  
  625. &lt;p&gt;But as things stand, it is understood that all options remain on the table for the world-renowned Italian brand.&lt;/p&gt;
  626.  
  627.  
  628.  
  629. &lt;p&gt;It came after the global firm pulled the plug on a £1.3billion investment in Maserati earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  630.  
  631.  
  632.  
  633. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33615127/iconic-sports-car-brand-future-scrapped-models/&quot;&gt;Plans for the hotly anticipated electric&amp;nbsp;MC20 Folgore&amp;nbsp;were also binned&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;due to low demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  634.

  639. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is Stellantis?&lt;/h3&gt;
  640. &lt;/div&gt;
  641. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  644. &lt;div&gt;
  645. &lt;p&gt;Stellantis&amp;nbsp;is the company behind iconic motor brands such as&amp;nbsp;Fiat, Vauxhall and&amp;nbsp;Peugot.&lt;/p&gt;
  646. &lt;p&gt;The conglomerate, which is the second-largest maker of cars in Europe, owns 14 badges, including&amp;nbsp;Chrysler,&amp;nbsp;Citroen, Jeep and Maserati.&lt;/p&gt;
  647. &lt;p&gt;The company itself is the product of a merger between&amp;nbsp;Fiat-Chrysler&amp;nbsp;and France&amp;#8217;s PSA, the maker of&amp;nbsp;Peugeot&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Citroen, in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  648. &lt;p&gt;But the motoring giant has encountered increasingly stuttering financial success.&lt;/p&gt;
  649. &lt;p&gt;And an initial manufacturing break at Stellantis has now been extended as bosses report a collapse in&amp;nbsp;demand for electric cars.&lt;/p&gt;
  650. &lt;/div&gt;

  808.

  828. &lt;li&gt;£1.308 billion (Powerball) on January 13 2016 in the US, for which three winning tickets were sold, remains history’s biggest lottery prize&lt;/li&gt;
  829. &lt;li&gt;£1.267 billion (Mega Million) a winner from South Carolina took their time to come forward to claim their prize in March 2019 not long before the April deadline&lt;/li&gt;
  830. &lt;li&gt;£633.76 million (Powerball draw) from a winner from Wisconsin&lt;/li&gt;
  831. &lt;li&gt;£625.76 million (Powerball)&amp;nbsp; Mavis L. Wanczyk of Chicopee, Massachusetts claimed the jackpot in August 2017&lt;/li&gt;
  832. &lt;li&gt;£575.53 million (Powerball)&amp;nbsp; A lucky pair of winners scooped the jackpot in Iowa and New York in October 2018&lt;/li&gt;

  846.  
  847.  
  848.  
  849.  
  850.  
  851. &lt;p&gt;The biggest&amp;nbsp;jackpot ever to be up for grabs was £66million in January last year, which was won by two lucky ticket holders.&lt;/p&gt;
  852.  
  853.  
  854.  
  855. &lt;p&gt;Another winner, Karl managed to bag £11million aged just 23 in 1996.&lt;/p&gt;
  856.  
  857.

  910.  
  911.  
  912.  
  913. &lt;p&gt;Prices were compared on a range of common products across the major supermarkets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda/&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesco/&quot;&gt;Tesco&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sainsburys/&quot;&gt;Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/morrisons/&quot;&gt;Morrisons&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  914.  
  915.  
  916.  
  917. &lt;p&gt;The list of 79 items included both branded and own-brand items, such as &lt;span id=&quot;44e7b369-2827-4c63-8cb8-1837a15a7974&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Birds&lt;/span&gt; Eye Peas, Hovis bread, milk and butter.&lt;/p&gt;
  918.  
  919.  
  920.  
  921. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/germany/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;German&lt;/a&gt; discounter came out on top, with the 79-product basket costing £131.52 in June.&lt;/p&gt;
  922.  
  923.  
  924.  
  925. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lidl/&quot;&gt;Lidl&lt;/a&gt; was close behind, with the same list of products £131.87 for loyalty scheme customers and £131.89 for those without one.&lt;/p&gt;
  926.  
  927.  
  928.  
  929. &lt;p&gt;Asda came fourth in the standings (£144.82), with Tesco &lt;span id=&quot;3d80e1cf-cbfd-4ad0-b458-36f93745a53f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; at £146.69 for Clubcard customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  930.  
  931.  
  932.  
  933. &lt;p&gt;Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s came sixth, with Nectar Card customers paying £148.29 across the month.&lt;/p&gt;

  937. &lt;p&gt;Tesco customers without a Clubcard would have paid £149.19, then Morrisons loyalty scheme customers (£152.91) and Morrisons non-loyalty scheme customers after &amp;#8211; £153.37.&lt;/p&gt;
  938.  
  939.  
  940.  
  941. &lt;p&gt;The basket of 79 items at Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s (non-Nectar Card), &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ocado/&quot;&gt;Ocado&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/waitrose/&quot;&gt;Waitrose&lt;/a&gt; was £153.78, £165.51 and £178.64, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  942.  
  943.  
  944.  
  945. &lt;p&gt;Over the same month, Asda came out on top for a larger trolley of 196 goods.&lt;/p&gt;
  946.  
  947.  
  948.  
  949. &lt;p&gt;Aldi and Lidl were not included in this comparison as they have a smaller range of products compared to their rivals.&lt;/p&gt;

  974.  
  975.  
  976.  
  977. &lt;p&gt;Waitrose was the most expensive on average, with the bigger shop costing £554.68 &amp;#8211; a difference of £70.08 compared to Asda &amp;#8211; 14% more.&lt;/p&gt;
  978.  
  979.

  981. &lt;p&gt;It was also the most expensive for a smaller basket of items, and 36% more expensive than Aldi.&lt;/p&gt;

  983.  
  984.  
  985. &lt;p&gt;Reena Sewraz, Which? &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; editor, said: &amp;#8220;Aldi has once again bagged the title of the UK’s cheapest supermarket according to our latest price analysis, with Lidl hot on its heels – just 35p behind.&lt;/p&gt;
  986.  
  987.

  990.  
  991.  
  992.  
  993. &lt;p&gt;“The bigger trolley of groceries shows that Asda continues to be one of the cheaper supermarkets &amp;#8211; beating membership prices at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.&lt;/p&gt;
  994.  
  995.  
  996.  
  997. &lt;p&gt;“With food bills still squeezing household budgets, it pays to be savvy as our analysis shows simply choosing one supermarket over another could save you as much as £70 on a large shop.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  998.  
  999.  
  1000.  
  1001. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not the first time Aldi has come out cheapest supermarket for a smaller basket of goods.&lt;/p&gt;
  1002.  
  1003.  
  1004.  
  1005. &lt;p&gt;The German retailer took the crown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35258005/cheapest-supermarket-revealed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;in May&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34767968/uk-cheapest-supermarket-aldi-lidl-asda/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;April&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34268710/uks-cheapest-supermarket-for-essentials/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;March&lt;/a&gt; this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1006.  
  1007.  
  1008.  
  1009. &lt;p&gt;It was also voted the cheapest supermarket &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32624768/aldi-lidl-uks-cheapest-supermarket-which-retail/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;across the whole of 2024&lt;/a&gt;, pipping Lidl to first place. &lt;/p&gt;
  1010.  
  1011.  
  1012.  
  1013. &lt;p&gt;A Waitrose spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;Our customers know that there’s more to great value than just price, and we combine excellent quality, industry-leading animal welfare standards and fantastic customer service.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1026. &lt;div&gt;
  1027. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consumer reporter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/samuel-walker/&quot;&gt;Sam Walker&lt;/a&gt; reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1028. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Odd boxes&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price. &lt;/p&gt;
  1029. &lt;p&gt;Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/17581296/lidl-veg-box-retail/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;its Waste Not scheme&lt;/a&gt; while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.&lt;/p&gt;
  1030. &lt;p&gt;Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s also sells £2 &amp;#8220;Taste Me, Don&amp;#8217;t Waste Me&amp;#8221; fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.&lt;/p&gt;
  1031. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Food waste apps&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.&lt;/p&gt;
  1032. &lt;p&gt;Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.&lt;/p&gt;
  1033. &lt;p&gt;Too Good to Go&amp;#8217;s app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.&lt;/p&gt;
  1034. &lt;p&gt;Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.&lt;/p&gt;
  1035. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yellow sticker bargains&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.&lt;/p&gt;
  1036. &lt;p&gt;But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30106289/times-yellow-sticker-bargains-biggest-supermarkets-prices/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;You can see the best times for each supermarket here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1037. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Super cheap bargains&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they&amp;#8217;ve found on the cheap, including food finds.&lt;/p&gt;
  1038. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;Downshift&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; you will almost always save money going for a supermarket&amp;#8217;s own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.&lt;/p&gt;
  1039. &lt;p&gt;The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as &amp;#8220;downshifting&amp;#8221; and hailed by consumer expert &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/martin-lewis/&quot;&gt;Martin Lewis&lt;/a&gt;, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  1040. &lt;/div&gt;
  1041. &lt;/div&gt;
  1042. &lt;/div&gt;

  1090. &lt;p&gt;As of July 2025, over 230 companies across the UK offer&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35166041/500-firms-underpaid-workers-minimum-wage-refund/&quot;&gt; employees &lt;/a&gt;the chance to work a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18794861/work-four-day-week-full-pay/&quot;&gt;shorter week&lt;/a&gt;, according to research by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32516441/full-list-companies-working-four-day-weeks-pay/&quot;&gt;4 Day Week Foundation.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1091.  
  1092.  
  1093.  
  1094. &lt;p&gt;This is an increase of 35 more firms, compared to previous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32516441/full-list-companies-working-four-day-weeks-pay/&quot;&gt;research &lt;/a&gt;carried out at the end of last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  1095.  
  1096.  
  1097.  
  1098. &lt;p&gt;The organisation recently concluded its latest pilot with a 100% success rate. &lt;/p&gt;
  1099.  
  1100.  
  1101.  
  1102. &lt;p&gt;The six-month trial began last November and 17 companies took part in the study. &lt;/p&gt;
  1103.  
  1104.  
  1105.  
  1106. &lt;p&gt;Alan Brunt, chief executive of Bron Afon Community Housing with 420 staff, who are extending their pilot further, said: “Almost as soon as we started talking about it, our teams got together to set about making it work which was brilliant.&lt;/p&gt;
  1107.  
  1108.  
  1109.  
  1110. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve closely monitored our performance and customer satisfaction. We’re happy with the results so far and will continue to make sure we’re delivering for our customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  1111.  
  1112.  
  1113.  
  1114. &lt;p&gt;“I expect that most organisations will be doing this in the &lt;span id=&quot;5177c5bb-e40b-43c8-ba1f-fa6208bd59e0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; 10 years or so.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1115.  
  1116.  
  1117.  
  1118. &lt;p&gt;The full list of 17 firms who have chosen to carry out a four day work week has not been published yet. &lt;/p&gt;
  1119.  
  1120.  
  1121.  
  1122. &lt;p&gt;Almost two-thirds of workers who took part in the trial registered a reduction in how often they experienced &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/21450716/major-four-day-week-change-stress/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CAcross%20a%20wide%20variety%20of,hospitality%2C%20marketing%2C%20and%20healthcare.&quot;&gt;burnout&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1123.  
  1124.  
  1125.  
  1126. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, two in five found an improvement in their mental &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; and almost half said they felt more satisfied with life.&lt;/p&gt;

  1151.  
  1152.  
  1153.  
  1154. &lt;p&gt;Joe Ryle, campaign director of the 4&amp;nbsp;Day&amp;nbsp;Week&amp;nbsp;Foundation, said the work model should now be implemented &amp;#8220;more widely across the economy&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  1155.  
  1156.  
  1157.  
  1158. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;With greater knowledge, expertise and experience of what it takes to successfully implement a&amp;nbsp;four-day&amp;nbsp;week, we’re really pleased to see such a high success rate.&lt;/p&gt;
  1159.

  2120. &lt;p&gt;Employees can request a change to the number of hours they work, when they start or finish work, the days they work and where they work. &lt;/p&gt;
  2121.  
  2122.  
  2123.  
  2124. &lt;p&gt;If you submit a request, it does not mean it will be accepted by your employer. &lt;/p&gt;
  2125.  
  2126.  
  2127.  
  2128. &lt;p&gt;However, &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/employment/&quot;&gt;employers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;must explain why they deny their workers more flexible hours.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2129.  
  2130.  
  2131.  
  2132. &lt;p&gt;Up until last year employers could deny any request for flexible working without needing to provide an explanation.&lt;/p&gt;
  2133.  
  2134.  
  2135.  
  2136. &lt;p&gt;Plus, millions of workers are now able to request flexible working from the first day of a new job.&lt;/p&gt;
  2137.  
  2138.  
  2139.  
  2140. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  2142. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;HOW CAN I ASK MY BOSS FOR FLEXIBLE WORK&lt;/h3&gt;
  2143. &lt;/div&gt;
  2144. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  2147. &lt;div&gt;
  2148. &lt;p&gt;To make an official request you will need to fill out a statutory application which can be found on the government website and send this to your employer.&lt;/p&gt;
  2149. &lt;p&gt;If your boss is not keen on letting you exercise your flexible working arrangements, here are a few tips on how to ask for the benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
  2150. &lt;p&gt;Although it is no longer a legal requirement, it may be a good idea to explain to your employer how flexible working will affect their business.&lt;/p&gt;
  2151. &lt;p&gt;If you can prove you can complete your required work on time and to the best of your ability whilst working flexibly it&amp;#8217;s much less stressful for the employer.&lt;/p&gt;
  2152. &lt;p&gt;Explain how flexible working will benefit your physical, mental and social health.&lt;/p&gt;
  2153. &lt;p&gt;Give as much notice of your need for flexible working as possible, even if this is from the first day.&lt;/p&gt;
  2154. &lt;p&gt;If your request requires you to work fewer hours, this gives the employer enough time to hire another staff member or find alternative means of covering the work.&lt;/p&gt;
  2155. &lt;p&gt;Employers must deal with requests in a “reasonable manner” Examples include:&lt;/p&gt;
  2156. &lt;ul&gt;
  2157. &lt;li&gt;Assessing the advantages and disadvantages of the application&lt;/li&gt;
  2158. &lt;li&gt;Discussing possible alternatives to the request&lt;/li&gt;
  2159. &lt;li&gt;Offering an appeal process&lt;/li&gt;
  2160. &lt;/ul&gt;
  2161. &lt;p&gt;Reasons why your flexible working request could be rejected:&lt;/p&gt;
  2162. &lt;ul&gt;
  2163. &lt;li&gt;Costing the business too much&lt;/li&gt;
  2164. &lt;li&gt;A negative effect on performance and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  2165. &lt;li&gt;The company being unable to hire more team members&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  2166. &lt;/ul&gt;
  2167. &lt;/div&gt;
  2168. &lt;/div&gt;
  2169. &lt;/div&gt;

  2222. &lt;p&gt;TERRIFYING footage shows the moment a man stalked his wife around their home with a bow and arrow before stabbing her.&lt;/p&gt;
  2223.  
  2224.  
  2225.  
  2226. &lt;p&gt;Keen archer Stephen Carr, 57, picked up the compound bow he had previously used in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/competitions/&quot;&gt;competitions&lt;/a&gt; after telling his wife Lorna &amp;#8220;you are dying tonight&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  2239.  
  2240.  
  2241.  
  2242. &lt;p&gt;He picked up the weapon to shoot metal-tipped arrows at Lorna at their home in Strensall, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/north-yorkshire/&quot;&gt;North Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2243.  
  2244.  
  2245.  
  2246. &lt;p&gt;Carr then stabbed her six times with a kitchen knife while she was on the phone with emergency services.&lt;/p&gt;
  2247.  
  2248.  
  2249.  
  2250. &lt;p&gt;He was jailed for 20 years after unleashing the “terrifying and frenzied” attack using a bow and arrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  2251.  
  2252.  
  2253.  
  2254. &lt;p&gt;Cameras installed at the couple’s to assist in the care of the defendant’s elderly mother recorded parts of the attack on the night of September 8 last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  2255.  
  2256.  
  2257.  
  2258. &lt;p&gt;Now footage released by cops shows Carr stalking his wife around their house with the weapon before he is seen coolly picking up a knife from the kitchen drawers.&lt;/p&gt;
  2259.  
  2260.  
  2261.  
  2262. &lt;p&gt;Jurors previously heard Carr told her “you are dying tonight” before he pointed the bow at her and fired three arrows in her direction after he had downed a litre of vodka.&lt;/p&gt;
  2263.  
  2264.  
  2265.  
  2266. &lt;p&gt;The argument was sparked over the “concerns and stresses of caring for the defendant’s mother” who lived with them at the time, prosecutor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/angus-macdonald/&quot;&gt;Angus MacDonald&lt;/a&gt; told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/leeds/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt; Crown Court on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  2267.  
  2268.  
  2269.  
  2270. &lt;p&gt;But 57-year-old Carr denied intending to kill his wife and claimed he “blacked out”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2271.  
  2272.  
  2273.  
  2274. &lt;p&gt;However, a jury convicted him of attempted murder following a trial at the same court last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  2275.  
  2276.  
  2277.  
  2278. &lt;p&gt;Judge Simon Phillips, sentencing, told the defendant: “During the course of the trial, the jury heard, and to some extent saw, clear evidence that you were intent on killing your wife Lorna.&lt;/p&gt;
  2279.  
  2280.  
  2281.  
  2282. &lt;p&gt;“You anger towards your wife increased that Sunday night. She tried unsuccessfully to calm you down.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2283.  
  2284.  
  2285.  
  2286. &lt;p&gt;The court was told the bow was a “heavy and powerful compound bow” which shot metal arrows at a speed of 270 feet per second, which “could cause serious injuries and even death” if used against a person.&lt;/p&gt;

  2309.  
  2310. &lt;p&gt;Mrs Carr managed to dodge the arrow by closing the door, and the arrowhead lodged itself in it “a split second” after she had been in the doorway, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  2311.  
  2312.  
  2313.  
  2314. &lt;p&gt;Mrs Carr tried to stop the defendant from using the bow again by attempting to cut the strings with a kitchen knife.&lt;/p&gt;
  2315.  
  2316.  
  2317.  
  2318. &lt;p&gt;“You threatened to ‘go mental’ if she did that,” Judge Phillips told the defendant Carr.&lt;/p&gt;
  2319.  
  2320.  
  2321.  
  2322. &lt;p&gt;“You had reloaded your bow and pointed it at her and she says: ‘Do you want murder and blood on your hands?’.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2323.  
  2324.  
  2325.  
  2326. &lt;p&gt;The defendant then pursued Mrs Carr inside the house where she had sought refuge, struck her on the face with the bow, and said “You are dying tonight”, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  2327.  
  2328.  
  2329.  
  2330. &lt;p&gt;Mrs Carr then made a 999 call from the bedroom where the defendant cornered her and shot three arrows.&lt;/p&gt;
  2331.  
  2332.  
  2333.  
  2334. &lt;p&gt;The court heard the arrows missed Mrs Carr, but the defendant went on to stab her six times in the back with a kitchen knife whilst she was on the line with a 999 call operator.&lt;/p&gt;
  2335.

  2343.  
  2344.  
  2345.  
  2346. &lt;p&gt;She was recorded begging for her life and telling the call operator: “He’s got a bow, he’s got a compound bow… Don’t kill me Steve please. Do not kill me you c***. Please! Think of your mum”, a spokesperson for North &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/yorkshire/&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; said.&lt;/p&gt;
  2347.  
  2348.  
  2349.  
  2350. &lt;p&gt;“This was a terrifying, frenzied and sustained attack”, the judge said.&lt;/p&gt;
  2351.  
  2352.  
  2353.  
  2354. &lt;p&gt;After the stabbing, Carr retreated to the garden shed on his property where police arrested him while Mrs Carr received medical care, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  2355.  
  2356.  
  2357.  
  2358. &lt;p&gt;She was taken to hospital for treatment to 10 wounds, including six to her upper back, as well as swelling and bruising to her forehead, shoulders and arms.&lt;/p&gt;
  2359.  
  2360.  
  2361.  
  2362. &lt;p&gt;She was discharged three days later and has since made a full recovery, the court was told.&lt;/p&gt;
  2363.  
  2364.  
  2365.  
  2366. &lt;p&gt;According to police, Carr sent a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/whatsapp/&quot;&gt;WhatsApp&lt;/a&gt; message to his wife after the assault in which he said: “I’m glad I didn’t do what I wanted to do. I did say you were pushing me to far (sic). My bag (sic) sorry.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2367.  
  2368.  
  2369.  
  2370. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;FRENZIED ATTACK&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2371.  
  2372.  
  2373.  
  2374. &lt;p&gt;During the trial, Carr claimed he “blacked out” and does not recall stabbing his wife, adding that he felt she was “controlling him”, a spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said.&lt;/p&gt;
  2375.  
  2376.  
  2377.  
  2378. &lt;p&gt;His defence lawyer, Gulam Ahmed, told the judge Carr had not displayed abusive or violent behaviour towards his wife prior to the attack, adding: “For a short period Mr Carr certainly lost it, and it is without the background of any abuse, without the background of any violence.&lt;/p&gt;
  2379.  
  2380.  
  2381.  
  2382. &lt;p&gt;“This was out of character and a one-off.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2383.  
  2384.  
  2385.  
  2386. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Carr was “heavily intoxicated” throughout the incident which the judge said he took into account as an aggravating factor.&lt;/p&gt;
  2387.  
  2388.  
  2389.  
  2390. &lt;p&gt;Carr received a sentence of 17 years’ imprisonment with an extended licence of three years, bringing his total custodial sentence to 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  2391.  
  2392.  
  2393.  
  2394. &lt;p&gt;Despite the ordeal, Lorna declined to apply for a restraining order and told the court she wished to resume their relationship, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  2395.  
  2396.  
  2397.  
  2398. &lt;p&gt;Lorna wrote a letter to the court describing him as a &amp;#8220;caring, compassionate man&amp;#8221; who helped care for his beloved mum Betty.&lt;/p&gt;
  2399.  
  2400.  
  2401.  
  2402. &lt;p&gt;She said he had &amp;#8220;never been controlling or violent towards her&amp;#8221; until the night of the event, when he was a &amp;#8220;broken man&amp;#8221; and said she has forgiven him for the attack. &lt;/p&gt;
  2403.  
  2404.  
  2405.  
  2406. &lt;p&gt;Lorna added that she trusted he would never hurt her again, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  2430. &lt;p&gt;TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday&amp;#8217;s action confident of smashing the bookies.&lt;/p&gt;
  2431.  
  2432.  
  2433.  
  2434. &lt;p&gt;Back a horse by clicking their odds below.&lt;/p&gt;
  2435.  
  2436.  
  2437.  
  2438. &lt;p&gt;CHALK MOUNTAIN (5.48 Kempton, nap)&lt;/p&gt;
  2439.  
  2440.  
  2441.  
  2442. &lt;p&gt;Stuart Kittow’s five-year-old should be coming here off a win but he was badly hampered when cruising along at Newbury last time. He had to settle for a neck second there and can make amends. This trip is ideal and we know he can win off this mark.&lt;/p&gt;
  2443.  
  2444.

  2447.  
  2448.  
  2449.  
  2450. &lt;p&gt;RABY MERE (3.50 Perth, nb)&lt;/p&gt;
  2451.  
  2452.  
  2453.  
  2454. &lt;p&gt;Has won two of his past three and can score again under champion jockey Sean Bowen. He has improvement to come and relishes this distance.&lt;/p&gt;
  2455.  
  2456.

  2459.  
  2460.  
  2461.  
  2462. &lt;p&gt;STELLA HOGAN (2.32 Yarmouth, treble)&lt;/p&gt;
  2463.  
  2464.  
  2465.  
  2466. &lt;p&gt;Is consistent and was just over a length away at Chelmsford last time. She finished strongly there and looks hard to beat from the same handicap mark.&lt;/p&gt;
  2467.

  2471.  
  2472.  
  2473.  
  2474. &lt;p&gt;MAGIC BOX (5.11 Kempton, Lucky 15)&lt;/p&gt;
  2475.  
  2476.  
  2477.  
  2478. &lt;p&gt;Has gradually improved with every run and looks the type to take a major step forward now handicapping.&lt;/p&gt;

  2554. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column is being kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2555.  
  2556.  
  2557.  
  2558. &lt;p&gt;Read on to see what’s written in the stars for you today. &lt;/p&gt;
  2559.  
  2560.  
  2561.  
  2562. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2648.png&quot; alt=&quot;♈&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; ARIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2563.  
  2564.  
  2565.  
  2566. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 21 to April 20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2567.  
  2568.  
  2569.  
  2570. &lt;p&gt;Your connection skills are at their sharpest, so you are ready to talk and put all your feelings across so well. &lt;/p&gt;
  2571.  
  2572.  
  2573.  
  2574. &lt;p&gt;This can bring a new understanding of financial facts. &lt;/p&gt;
  2575.  
  2576.  
  2577.  
  2578. &lt;p&gt;But it could be love words you have waited almost a year to hear, that spark a celebration.&lt;/p&gt;
  2579.  
  2580.  
  2581.  
  2582. &lt;p&gt;If you are single a match of opposites is passionate – but fun, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  2583.  
  2584.  
  2585.  
  2586. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_22108977&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ac-horoscope-daily-04-thursday.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;an advertisement for mystic meg with maggie innes on thursday&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-22108977&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Your daily horoscope for Thursday&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  2591.  
  2592.  
  2593.  
  2594. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 21 to May 21&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2595.  
  2596.  
  2597.  
  2598. &lt;p&gt;Work and wellness sit at the centre of your day, so a job in the medical world could bring out your talents. &lt;/p&gt;
  2599.  
  2600.  
  2601.  
  2602. &lt;p&gt;If you are single, a friend, who can’t resist matchmaking, can get it right by introducing you to a fellow Taurus. &lt;/p&gt;
  2603.  
  2604.  
  2605.  
  2606. &lt;p&gt;Home or family extension plans that sound like wishful thinking, start to look real when you share them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2607.  
  2608.

  2619.  
  2620.  
  2621.  
  2622. &lt;p&gt;Believing in your ideas gives others true confidence in you. At work and at home, your blend of tenacity and talent gets results. &lt;/p&gt;
  2623.  
  2624.  
  2625.  
  2626. &lt;p&gt;Single? There could be a choice to make between a quirky, independent colleague and a relaxed newcomer, where old friends meet. &lt;/p&gt;
  2627.  
  2628.  
  2629.  
  2630. &lt;p&gt;Your luck location is a shop full of special faces.&lt;/p&gt;

  2640.  
  2641.  
  2642. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 22 to July 22&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2643.  
  2644.  
  2645.  
  2646. &lt;p&gt;A house that makes you feel relaxed the first time you visit could have an unexpected but welcome role to play in your life. &lt;/p&gt;
  2647.  
  2648.  
  2649.  
  2650. &lt;p&gt;If you are single, keeping a list of the qualities you hope to find in a partner, draws that special person closer. &lt;/p&gt;
  2651.  
  2652.  
  2653.  
  2654. &lt;p&gt;Work that involves cameras could prove a smart blend of earning and learning.&lt;/p&gt;

  2672.  
  2673.  
  2674. &lt;p&gt;You can ace the challenge of being decisive, especially about home life. &lt;/p&gt;
  2675.

  3133. &lt;p&gt;GREGGS has warned that scorching weather in the UK is hitting sales — and could see its annual profits fall.&lt;/p&gt;
  3134.  
  3135.  
  3136.  
  3137. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/greggs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The bakery chain&lt;/a&gt; said last month’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/heatwave/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;blistering temperatures&lt;/a&gt; reduced footfall as fewer customers opted to eat out.&lt;/p&gt;
  3138.  
  3139.  
  3140.  
  3141. &lt;p&gt;While demand for cold drinks rose, overall sales slowed.&lt;/p&gt;
  3142.  
  3143.  
  3144.  
  3145. &lt;p&gt;Like-for-like sales grew 2.6 per cent in the first half of the year, but June’s hot spell dented consumer spending habits.&lt;/p&gt;
  3146.  
  3147.  
  3148.  
  3149. &lt;p&gt;Analysts had forecast profits of £198.5million for 2025, but the chain’s outlook has now dampened expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
  3150.  
  3151.  
  3152.  
  3153. &lt;p&gt;It now expects to be “modestly” lower than 2024’s £195.3million.&lt;/p&gt;
  3154.  
  3155.  
  3156.  
  3157. &lt;p&gt;The firm’s shares fell almost 15 per cent to 1,682p following the update — and have dropped around 38 per cent so far this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3158.  
  3159.  
  3160.  
  3161. &lt;p&gt;Despite its challenges, the company reported total sales of £1.03billion, up 6.9 per cent year-on-year for the first 26 weeks of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3162.  
  3163.  
  3164.  
  3165. &lt;p&gt;Greggs expects operating profit in the first half of 2025 to be lower than last year, due partly to the timing of store refurbishments and cost-saving measures.&lt;/p&gt;
  3166.  
  3167.  
  3168.  
  3169. &lt;p&gt;It has opened 87 shops and closed 56 so far this year, bringing its total to 2,649 across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  3170.  
  3171.  
  3172.  
  3173. &lt;p&gt;This includes 2,085 company-managed shops and 564 franchised outlets.&lt;/p&gt;
  3174.  
  3175.  
  3176.  
  3177. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34203873/food-prices-rose-inflation-business/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;food prices in Britain rose&lt;/a&gt; by 3.7 per cent last month, compared with 2.8 per cent in May, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/british-retail-consortium/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;British Retail Consortium&lt;/a&gt;-NIQ Shop Price Index said.&lt;/p&gt;

  3258. &lt;p&gt;But more than half of retailers say the policy could mean fewer discounts for low-income families, or even staff layoffs.&lt;/p&gt;
  3259. &lt;p&gt;The Schoolwear Association said: “It will drive up costs in the long run. We’re calling for a limit of five items plus a tie.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3260. &lt;/div&gt;
  3261. &lt;/div&gt;

  3346.  
  3347.  
  3348.  
  3349. &lt;p&gt;All popular runabouts sent to the great scrapyard in the sky.&lt;/p&gt;
  3350.  
  3351.  
  3352.  
  3353. &lt;p&gt;Manufacturers blamed cost, ever- tightening regulations adding even more cost, and the trend for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32479415/full-list-of-top-selling-hybrid-cars-facing-ban/&quot;&gt;pumped-up crossovers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3354.  
  3355.  
  3356.  
  3357. &lt;p&gt;Now everything is about to go full circle and I’m here for it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3358.  
  3359.  
  3360.  
  3361. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/renault/&quot;&gt;Renault&lt;/a&gt; will unveil an all-new Clio petrol hybrid shortly. &lt;/p&gt;
  3362.  
  3363.  
  3364.  
  3365. &lt;p&gt;To sit alongside the gorgeous battery-powered 5.&lt;/p&gt;
  3366.  
  3367.  
  3368.  
  3369. &lt;p&gt;Then the titchy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32822815/renault-twingo-roads-car-motors/&quot;&gt;Twingo&lt;/a&gt; returns as a £17K EV late next year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3370.  
  3371.  
  3372.  
  3373. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/volkswagen/&quot;&gt;Volkswagen&lt;/a&gt; is to update Polo with a mild hybrid petrol engine – so it’ll be around for much longer. Ditto Seat and Ibiza.&lt;/p&gt;
  3374.  
  3375.  
  3376.  
  3377. &lt;p&gt;Then VW will roll out a family of urban &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/electric-cars/&quot;&gt;EV&lt;/a&gt;s previewed by the ID2 and ID1 concepts. &lt;/p&gt;
  3378.  
  3379.  
  3380.  
  3381. &lt;p&gt;ID2 will be badged ID Polo by the time it hits showrooms next summer priced from £22k – and ID1 will become Up! in 2027, costing about £17k.&lt;/p&gt;
  3382.  
  3383.  
  3384.  
  3385. &lt;p&gt;Vauxhall already flogs Corsa in both power types and we’ll see the next one in a month or two.&lt;/p&gt;

  3409. &lt;p&gt;Fiat has the brilliant 500 and box-fresh &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33218456/fiat-panda-grande-motors-review/&quot;&gt;Grande Panda&lt;/a&gt; and there’s a smaller Panda city car in the pipeline. &lt;/p&gt;
  3410.  
  3411.  
  3412.  
  3413. &lt;p&gt;We recently tested &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/35368508/byd-dolphin-surf-review-test/&quot;&gt;BYD’s £19k Dolphin Surf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3414.  
  3415.  
  3416.  
  3417. &lt;p&gt;Lots of small, simple starter cars for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  3418.  
  3419.  
  3420.  
  3421. &lt;p&gt;Now we come to the red car you see here. Nissan Micra. &lt;/p&gt;
  3422.  
  3423.  
  3424.  
  3425. &lt;p&gt;Another household name rebooted for the electric age.&lt;/p&gt;
  3426.  
  3427.  
  3428.  
  3429. &lt;p&gt;Basically, Micra is a reskinned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/26228129/renault-5-ev-supermini-reinvented-electric/&quot;&gt;Renault 5&lt;/a&gt; – built by Renault at the R5 factory – using the same menu of batteries, e-motors, suspension and electronics.&lt;/p&gt;
  3430.  
  3431.  
  3432.  
  3433. &lt;p&gt;So it drives like an R5. Feels like an R5. Goes as far as an R5. &lt;/p&gt;
  3434.  
  3435.  
  3436.  
  3437. &lt;p&gt;Which is fine by me. Because the R5 is a peach.&lt;/p&gt;
  3438.  
  3439.  
  3440.  
  3441. &lt;p&gt;So your choice is purely down to looks. &lt;/p&gt;
  3442.  
  3443.  
  3444.  
  3445. &lt;p&gt;Whether you prefer the retro codes of the R5 or the cheery puppy-eyed Micra. &lt;/p&gt;
  3446.  
  3447.  
  3448.  
  3449. &lt;p&gt;Those Micra lights “wink” at you when you unlock the car.&lt;/p&gt;
  3450.  
  3451.  
  3452.  
  3453. &lt;p&gt;That thick stripe down the waistline is what Nissan’s London designers call the “ice cream scoop”. &lt;/p&gt;
  3454.  
  3455.  
  3456.  
  3457. &lt;p&gt;Like dragging a spoon across the surface of untouched ice cream.&lt;/p&gt;
  3458.  
  3459.  
  3460.  
  3461. &lt;p&gt;Yeah, whatever. It’s a million miles better than the vanilla Micras of old.&lt;/p&gt;
  3462.  
  3463.  
  3464.  
  3465. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35655740&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/NINTCHDBPICT001006678165.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Man driving a car.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35655740&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;David Shepherd Photographer shep@Davidshepherdphotographer.com&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The Micra drives like an R5, feels like an R5 and goes as far as an R5[/caption]
  3466.  
  3467.  
  3468.  
  3469. &lt;p&gt;Other observations. They’ve printed Mount Fuji in the centre console and boot frame, a nod to the car’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/japan&quot;&gt;Japanese&lt;/a&gt; heritage. &lt;/p&gt;
  3470.  
  3471.  
  3472.  
  3473. &lt;p&gt;But they forgot to replace the French cockerel on the windscreen. Duh.&lt;/p&gt;
  3474.  
  3475.  
  3476.  
  3477. &lt;p&gt;Like the R5, Micra has a twin-screen dash, Google brain, reversing camera and one simple button to switch off all the beeps and bongs the law now demands.&lt;/p&gt;
  3478.  
  3479.  
  3480.  
  3481. &lt;p&gt;Unlike the R5, mid-spec Micras have steering wheel paddles to adjust the levels of braking regen. &lt;/p&gt;
  3482.  
  3483.  
  3484.  
  3485. &lt;p&gt;So it’s actually more fun to drive. &lt;/p&gt;
  3486.  
  3487.  
  3488.  
  3489. &lt;p&gt;The tech wasn’t ready before R5 hit the road. But it will get it soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  3490.  
  3491.  
  3492.  
  3493. &lt;p&gt;Nissan has also done another deal with Renault for a city car based on the upcoming Twingo.&lt;/p&gt;
  3494.  
  3495.  
  3496.  
  3497. &lt;p&gt;Death of the small car? No, mate. &lt;/p&gt;
  3498.  
  3499.  
  3500.  
  3501. &lt;p&gt;There’s lots of good stuff just around the corner.&lt;/p&gt;

  3573. &lt;p&gt;In another shot she wore snake print leggings, crop top, cowboy boots and leather jacket,&lt;/p&gt;
  3574.  
  3575.  
  3576.  
  3577. &lt;p&gt;Looks like a fashion fest.&lt;/p&gt;
  3578.  
  3579.  
  3580.  
  3581. &lt;p&gt;Abbey and Peter have been together for nearly 20 years, and married for 14.&lt;/p&gt;
  3582.  
  3583.  
  3584.  
  3585. &lt;p&gt;Together they share four children: Sophia, Liberty, Johnny, and Jack.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  3586.  
  3587.  
  3588.  
  3589. &lt;p&gt;They host podcast The Therapy Crouch, where they get honest about married life and everything in between with their followers and listeners.&lt;/p&gt;
  3590.  
  3591.  
  3592.  
  3593. &lt;p&gt;In an interview with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ok.co.uk/celebrity-news/abbey-clancy-brands-peter-crouch-34810845&quot;&gt;OK!&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;back in March, Abbey spoke about her husband and their&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3594.  
  3595.  
  3596.  
  3597. &lt;p&gt;Swooning over her life with her hubby, Abbey also&amp;nbsp;insisted she &amp;#8220;doesn&amp;#8217;t need space&amp;#8221; from him.&lt;/p&gt;
  3598.  
  3599.  
  3600.  
  3601. &lt;p&gt;However, on an episode of their podcast, Abbey jokingly mentioned how they both&amp;nbsp;enjoy their own hobbies,&amp;nbsp;and lived &amp;#8220;seperate lives&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3602.  
  3603.  
  3604.  
  3605. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t think there&amp;#8217;s anything wrong with that [having their own hobbies and spending time apart].&lt;/p&gt;
  3606.  
  3607.  
  3608.  
  3609. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Like, not every day, because we need to do stuff together as well.&lt;/p&gt;

  3665.  
  3666. &lt;p&gt;DARTS champ Luke Littler plans to become a sporting icon in the US, documents reveal.&lt;/p&gt;
  3667.  
  3668.  
  3669.  
  3670. &lt;p&gt;The 18-year-old has applied to have his name and nickname The Nuke trademarked in America.&lt;/p&gt;
  3671.  
  3672.  
  3673.  
  3674. &lt;p&gt;He has filed documents with the US Patent and Trademark Office for protection to sell goods such as clothes, sporting goods, luggage, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/books/&quot;&gt;books&lt;/a&gt;, and even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;food and drink&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3675.  
  3676.  
  3677.  
  3678. &lt;p&gt;He is already a millionaire after shooting to fame at 16 as runner-up in the 2024 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pdc-world-darts-championship/&quot;&gt;World Darts Championship.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3679.  
  3680.  
  3681.  
  3682. &lt;p&gt;He then won the title in January.&lt;/p&gt;
  3683.  
  3684.  
  3685.  
  3686. &lt;p&gt;His latest move will prevent bootleggers from using his moniker and cashing in on his fame.&lt;/p&gt;
  3687.  
  3688.  
  3689.  
  3690. &lt;p&gt;One expert told us: “It grants the owner exclusive rights.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3691.  
  3692.  
  3693.  
  3694. &lt;p&gt;The Warrington-born whiz kid already has similar trademark protection in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  3695.  
  3696.  
  3697.  
  3698. &lt;p&gt;Luke has been in the States in recent days.&lt;/p&gt;
  3699.  
  3700.  
  3701.  
  3702. &lt;p&gt;He was among the headline attractions at the iconic Madison Square Garden in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-york/&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; last weekend as the world’s top players went Stateside for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35444458/us-darts-masters-2025-schedule-results-free-live-stream-tv/&quot;&gt;US Darts Masters.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706. &lt;p&gt;However, his campaign ended at the quarter-final stage by his good friend and stablemate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35558411/nathan-aspinall-darts-terrified-influencer-apple-video/&quot;&gt;Nathan Aspinall&lt;/a&gt;, who triumphed 6-4 against the teenager.&lt;/p&gt;

  3754. &lt;p&gt;A MAN who sexually abused and performed a sex act next to horses at stables before he was caught on CCTV has avoided jail.&lt;/p&gt;
  3755.  
  3756.  
  3757.  
  3758. &lt;p&gt;Corey Coleman, 26, accepted he had an &amp;#8220;unhealthy interest&amp;#8221; in horses after footage revealed his various disturbing acts on the animals.&lt;/p&gt;

  3771.  
  3772.  
  3773.  
  3774. &lt;p&gt;Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates&amp;#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; heard how Coleman, from Llanharan, regularly volunteered in helping look after the horses at the Ynyscrug livery yard.&lt;/p&gt;
  3775.  
  3776.  
  3777.  
  3778. &lt;p&gt;But on June 27 last year, he was found lying in a passageway between the stables with &amp;#8220;serious injuries&amp;#8221; to his back.&lt;/p&gt;
  3779.  
  3780.  
  3781.  
  3782. &lt;p&gt;Coleman was hospitalised with spinal fractures and was given a back brace &amp;#8211; but was &amp;#8220;back at the stables&amp;#8221; not long after, RSPCA prosecutor Geraint Richards said.&lt;/p&gt;
  3783.  
  3784.  
  3785.  
  3786. &lt;p&gt;The owner of the stables, Alex Hill, questioned Coleman as to how he got the injury, to which he said one of the horses attempted to mount him.&lt;/p&gt;
  3787.  
  3788.  
  3789.  
  3790. &lt;p&gt;Mr Hill then decided to look at the CCTV, which &amp;#8220;concerned him enough to look deeper into it,&amp;#8221; Mr Richards said.&lt;/p&gt;
  3791.  
  3792.  
  3793.  
  3794. &lt;p&gt;When Mr Hill checked the footage from Coleman&amp;#8217;s stables visits on July 15 and 29, he saw that he had been abusing horses.&lt;/p&gt;
  3795.  
  3796.  
  3797.  
  3798. &lt;p&gt;Coleman was captured &amp;#8220;teasing and arousing&amp;#8221; a horse, with the date he was injured showing a similar disturbing incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  3799.  
  3800.  
  3801.  
  3802. &lt;p&gt;After the yard&amp;#8217;s owner called cops, Coleman was then arrested and made an &amp;#8220;unsolicited&amp;#8221; comment to officers that his actions were &amp;#8220;part of the cleaning,&amp;#8221; the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  3803.  
  3804.  
  3805.  
  3806. &lt;p&gt;RSPCA prosecutor Mr Richards explained how the stables were &amp;#8220;quite busy&amp;#8221; and there were often &amp;#8220;children in the vicinity&amp;#8221; outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  3807.  
  3808.  
  3809.  
  3810. &lt;p&gt;He added that it was likely the abuse had occurred &amp;#8220;for many months&amp;#8221; due to the horses&amp;#8217; behaviour during the incidents that &amp;#8220;showed they had been conditioned to be used to this sort of attention&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  3838. &lt;p&gt;He also said his client already endured an &amp;#8220;element of instant karma&amp;#8221; after his injuries and accepted he had &amp;#8220;an unhealthy interest&amp;#8221; in stallions.&lt;/p&gt;
  3839.

  3842. &lt;p&gt; Coleman had been involved in an equine events organisation but had obviously &amp;#8220;destroyed any &lt;span id=&quot;16f4d252-eb60-47ed-86e7-979aaaae1e52&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; career of that nature&amp;#8221; and was now receiving counselling.&lt;/p&gt;
  3843.  
  3844.  
  3845.  
  3846. &lt;p&gt;The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a bay stallion named Bear and a palomino stallion named Benny by sexually abusing them.&lt;/p&gt;
  3847.  
  3848.  
  3849.  
  3850. &lt;p&gt;He also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure the welfare of the same stallions and failing to ensure the welfare of a bay mare named Nala who was exposed to the risk of injury from the stallions.&lt;/p&gt;
  3851.  
  3852.  
  3853.  
  3854. &lt;p&gt;The court heard how there are two &lt;span id=&quot;ce91d580-fed7-4bbc-97e2-28d09ec46b10&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dogs&lt;/span&gt; and two cats at Coleman&amp;#8217;s main place of residency &amp;#8211; his girlfriend of nine years&amp;#8217;s home &amp;#8211; and two dogs at his mum&amp;#8217;s where he stays &amp;#8220;from time to time&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3855.  
  3856.  
  3857.  
  3858. &lt;p&gt;Coleman&amp;#8217;s solicitor Mr Maggs said it was be &amp;#8220;fair to say&amp;#8221; his relationship is now &amp;#8220;on the rocks&amp;#8221; due to the shocking discoveries.&lt;/p&gt;
  3859.  
  3860.  
  3861.  
  3862. &lt;p&gt;Coleman was also disqualified from owning, keeping or transporting horses, or participating in their keeping for half a decade and ordered to pay costs of £474.&lt;/p&gt;

  3988. &lt;p&gt;EMOJIS can improve your relationships as they make you seem more emotionally involved, scientists say.&lt;/p&gt;
  3989.  
  3990.  
  3991.  
  3992. &lt;p&gt;A study found people rated their partners as more attentive if they used the icons in messages.&lt;/p&gt;

  4000. &lt;p&gt;We are most fond of the “crying laughing face” emoji, but researchers claim it does not appear to matter which symbol senders use.&lt;/p&gt;
  4001.  
  4002.  
  4003.  
  4004. &lt;p&gt;Even icons without a face or emotion, such as fire, were found to be linked to higher &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/relationship-advice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;relationship &lt;/a&gt;satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;
  4005.  
  4006.  
  4007.  
  4008. &lt;p&gt;Study author and PhD student Eun Huh, at the University of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/texas/&quot;&gt;Texas&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/austin/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Austin&lt;/a&gt;, said: “The study revealed that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/emojis/&quot;&gt;emojis&lt;/a&gt; signal emotional attentiveness.&lt;/p&gt;
  4009.  
  4010.  
  4011.  
  4012. &lt;p&gt;“Interestingly, it’s not the type of emoji but simply their presence that makes people feel closer to a partner.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4013.  
  4014.  
  4015.  
  4016. &lt;p&gt;The study questioned 260 people, aged between 23 and 67. &lt;/p&gt;
  4017.  
  4018.  
  4019.  
  4020. &lt;p&gt;They were shown 15 text exchanges, then asked to imagine the other sender was their partner and rate their responses.&lt;/p&gt;
  4021.  
  4022.  
  4023.  
  4024. &lt;p&gt;People scored as more engaged and responsive to emotions in chats that contained emojis.&lt;/p&gt;
  4025.  
  4026.  
  4027.  
  4028. &lt;p&gt;Ms Huh said: “Emojis help recipients clarify ambiguous messages.&lt;/p&gt;
  4029.  
  4030.  
  4031.  
  4032. &lt;p&gt;“Given that the human brain can recognise images in just 13 milliseconds, they are a quick yet effective communication tool.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4033.  
  4034.  
  4035.  
  4036. &lt;p&gt;But Ms Huh warned: “It is important to note that emojis do not always have a positive effect.&lt;/p&gt;

  4094. &lt;p&gt;B&amp;amp;M shoppers are rushing to grab a household cleaning essential that&amp;#8217;s now going for just 10p.&lt;/p&gt;
  4095.  
  4096.  
  4097.  
  4098. &lt;p&gt;One savvy shopper spotted four-packs of microfibre cloths on sale for the bargain price.&lt;/p&gt;

  4103.  
  4104.  
  4105.  
  4106. &lt;p&gt;The four-pack of Simply Everyday Microfibre Cloths is going for just 10p in stores and with the &lt;span id=&quot;533a701d-0a67-4da9-b254-f80bb2494cca&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;B&amp;amp;M&lt;/span&gt; app, while the same item costs £1 online. &lt;/p&gt;
  4107.  
  4108.  
  4109.  
  4110. &lt;p&gt;One shopper shared the deal on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16nCrEREwd/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;writing&lt;/a&gt;: “Microfibre cloths 10p. B&amp;amp;M Kempshott Basingstoke.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4111.  
  4112.  
  4113.  
  4114. &lt;p&gt;Another shopper replied in the comments: &amp;#8220;Get the B&amp;amp;M app on your phone &amp;#8211; you don&amp;#8217;t have to sign up with all your details. &lt;/p&gt;
  4115.  
  4116.  
  4117.  
  4118. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Download the app and literally just use the scanning barcode on the products in B&amp;amp;M. &lt;/p&gt;
  4119.  
  4120.  
  4121.  
  4122. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you scan the item, if it comes up &amp;#8216;item not found&amp;#8217; then that item is 10p.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4123.  
  4124.  
  4125.  
  4126. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, a shopper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35534341/bm-shoppers-rushing-get-bedroom-gadget-cables-obsolete/&quot;&gt;spotted a bargain Goodmans alarm clock&lt;/a&gt; with Qi wireless charging.&lt;/p&gt;
  4127.  
  4128.  
  4129.  
  4130. &lt;p&gt;They posted their find with the caption: “Happy with my 10p bargain.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4131.  
  4132.  
  4133.  
  4134. &lt;p&gt;The alarm clock had previously been slashed to £19.&lt;/p&gt;
  4135.  
  4136.  
  4137.  
  4138. &lt;p&gt;B&amp;amp;M advertises the clock as ideal for bedsides, desks or home offices.&lt;/p&gt;
  4139.  
  4140.  
  4141.  
  4142. &lt;p&gt;It supports fast charging for all Qi-compatible devices, &lt;span id=&quot;2352df3c-98a1-42fb-9826-74a6a53b6caf&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;features&lt;/span&gt; an 8-colour dimmable night light, and comes with a USB-C &lt;span id=&quot;ec9c5fb2-a7eb-4ede-b840-2237b811eac0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;power&lt;/span&gt; cable.&lt;/p&gt;

  4167.  
  4168.  
  4169.  
  4170. &lt;p&gt;One savvy shopper spotted the 300ml Laylah Nusuk sprays at Home Bargains for just £2.29 and posted their find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; group. &lt;/p&gt;
  4171.  
  4172.  
  4173.  
  4174. &lt;p&gt;The air fresheners come in four variants: Arwa (blue), Oud Wood (black), Oud Romancia (red) and Haya (white). &lt;/p&gt;
  4175.  
  4176.  
  4177.  
  4178. &lt;p&gt;Fans say the scents are powerful and linger far longer than typical room sprays. &lt;/p&gt;
  4179.  
  4180.  
  4181.  
  4182. &lt;p&gt;“The only air freshener I’ve used where the smell actually stays – love them!” one shopper wrote. &lt;/p&gt;
  4183.  
  4184.  
  4185.  
  4186. &lt;p&gt;Another said: “The white one we got smells amazing and lasts forever.” &lt;/p&gt;
  4187.

  4191.  
  4192.  
  4193.  
  4194. &lt;p&gt;The Laylah sprays are imported from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uae/&quot;&gt;UAE&lt;/a&gt; and have developed a cult following in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  4207. &lt;p&gt;Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.&lt;/p&gt;
  4208. &lt;p&gt;Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.&lt;/p&gt;
  4209. &lt;p&gt;Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.&lt;/p&gt;
  4210. &lt;p&gt;Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.&lt;/p&gt;
  4211. &lt;p&gt;Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.&lt;/p&gt;
  4212. &lt;p&gt;When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vouchercodes.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;vouchercodes.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://myvouchercodes.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;myvouchercodes.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.&lt;/p&gt;
  4213. &lt;p&gt;Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://trolley.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Trolley.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.&lt;/p&gt;
  4214. &lt;p&gt;Bargain hunters can also use B&amp;amp;M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.&lt;/p&gt;
  4215. &lt;p&gt;And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.&lt;/p&gt;
  4216. &lt;/div&gt;
  4217. &lt;/div&gt;
  4218. &lt;/div&gt;
  4220.

  4248. &lt;p&gt;A LEGENDARY Brit band has been forced to cancel a run of shows as its frontman has emergency surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
  4249.  
  4250.  
  4251.  
  4252. &lt;p&gt;The group&amp;#8217;s management company said &amp;#8220;the &lt;span id=&quot;d08ea6df-4727-4aed-aecb-97c8bdd051dd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; and wellbeing of the band obviously has to come first.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4265.  
  4266.  
  4267.  
  4268. &lt;p&gt;Saxon formed in &lt;span id=&quot;47cbc360-2c50-4219-a8f8-27460054fb52&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Barnsley&lt;/span&gt; back in 1975 &amp;#8211; and adopted their current name three years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  4269.  
  4270.  
  4271.  
  4272. &lt;p&gt;Lead vocalist Biff Byford is set to undergo emergency surgery, which requires six weeks of recuperation.&lt;/p&gt;
  4273.  
  4274.  
  4275.  
  4276. &lt;p&gt;As a result of this, a string of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; performances have been cancelled.&lt;/p&gt;
  4277.  
  4278.  
  4279.  
  4280. &lt;p&gt;The affected dates are listed in full further down.&lt;/p&gt;
  4281.  
  4282.  
  4283.  
  4284. &lt;p&gt;The band&amp;#8217;s management said: &amp;#8220;Saxon were so looking forward to performing at all the below &lt;span id=&quot;a488f465-b355-4319-ad6f-39c315473a40&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Summer&lt;/span&gt; festivals and events, but the &lt;span id=&quot;d071aa6d-49e7-4ff0-9a1a-42cc835af80e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; and well-being of the band obviously has to come first.&lt;/p&gt;
  4285.  
  4286.  
  4287.  
  4288. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It goes without saying that all in Saxon are gutted that they will be unable to perform but look forward to hopefully being back on stage in time to play both Trutnoff Open Air Festival in &lt;span id=&quot;902d1dfe-ca17-4dfa-ad9a-1b8185de3ddd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Czech Republic&lt;/span&gt; on August 23 and Neuborn Open Air on August 29.&lt;/p&gt;
  4289.  
  4290.  
  4291.  
  4292. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The band are also very much looking forward to their upcoming tours of both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/spain/&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt; and the UK later this year too.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4293.  
  4294.  
  4295.  
  4296. &lt;p&gt;Continuing, the management relayed that Saxon are &amp;#8220;sorry for any inconvenience&amp;#8221; and ask for &amp;#8220;patience and understanding&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4297.  
  4298.  
  4299.  
  4300. &lt;p&gt;It means Saxon&amp;#8217;s Swedish club shows on July 24, 26 and 27 are cancelled altogether &amp;#8211; with fans advised to seek refunds.&lt;/p&gt;
  4301.  
  4302.  
  4303.  
  4304. &lt;p&gt;However, the band are working with ticket sellers in order to reschedule other affected dates.&lt;/p&gt;

  4406. &lt;p&gt;BLUNDERING BBC Sport confused fans by publishing the score of a match that had not yet happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  4407.  
  4408.  
  4409.  
  4410. &lt;p&gt;The broadcaster’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;X &lt;/a&gt;feed on Tuesday claimed Polish &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/iga-swiatek/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Iga Swiatek&lt;/a&gt; had beaten US ace &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35656182/tennis-iga-swiatek-wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Caty McNally&lt;/a&gt; 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 despite the match being scheduled for today.&lt;/p&gt;
  4411.  
  4412.  
  4413.  
  4414. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35672919&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/iga-swiatek-poland-shakes-hands-1006879913.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Iga Swiatek and Polina Kudermetova shaking hands at the net after a tennis match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35672919&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;646&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Polish Iga Swiatek won 7-5, 6-1 against Russian Polina Kudermetova[/caption]
  4415.  
  4416.  
  4417.  
  4418. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35672920&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2025-caty-mcnally-u-s-1006876593.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Caty McNally of the U.S. at Wimbledon.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35672920&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;682&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;US ace McNally defeated British hopeful Jodie Burrage[/caption]
  4419.  
  4420.  
  4421.  
  4422. &lt;p&gt;Swiatek actually won that day 7-5, 6-1 against Russian Polina Kudermetova. &lt;/p&gt;
  4423.  
  4424.  
  4425.  
  4426. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile McNally had defeated British hopeful &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35563185/jodie-burrage-net-barbora-krejcikova/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jodie Burrage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4427.  
  4428.  
  4429.  
  4430. &lt;p&gt;The incorrect post was only deleted yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  4431.  
  4432.  
  4433.  
  4434. &lt;p&gt;One fan joked: “Maybe the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; knows about the &lt;span id=&quot;18b25e65-3773-486d-b455-346f8dda85b9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; or something.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4435.  
  4436.  
  4437.  
  4438. &lt;p&gt;Another fan jibed: “Proof that tennis is scripted.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4439.  
  4440.  
  4441.  
  4442. &lt;p&gt;It sparked concerns the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; broadcaster is using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/artificial-intelligence/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;AI &lt;/a&gt;to send match results, which it denied.&lt;/p&gt;
  4443.  
  4444.  
  4445.  
  4446. &lt;p&gt;A spokeswoman said: “We do not use AI to publish match results.&lt;/p&gt;
  4447.  
  4448.  
  4449.  
  4450. &lt;p&gt;“The incorrect graphic was the result of a technical error and was removed immediately once identified.”&lt;/p&gt;

  4564. &lt;p&gt;COPS have pulled the body of a teenage boy from a river after he &amp;#8220;entered the water with friends&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4565.  
  4566.  
  4567.  
  4568. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; scrambled to Beccles Quay, off Fen Lane, in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/suffolk/&quot;&gt;Suffolk&lt;/a&gt;, just before 7.30pm today after concerns for the safety of a teenager.&lt;/p&gt;
  4569.  
  4570.  
  4571.  
  4572. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35673605&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ed9bjx-beccles-quay-1007137907.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Boats moored on a calm river.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35673605&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;638&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Police recovered the body of a teenager from Beccles Quay (stock)[/caption]
  4573.  
  4574.  
  4575.  
  4576. &lt;p&gt;The boy had entered the River Waveney with friends but had not resurfaced, said cops.&lt;/p&gt;
  4577.  
  4578.  
  4579.  
  4580. &lt;p&gt;A huge multi-agency search was launched to try and locate the teen involving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/suffolk/&quot;&gt;Suffolk&lt;/a&gt; Police and other emergency services.&lt;/p&gt;
  4581.  
  4582.  
  4583.  
  4584. &lt;p&gt;But the body of a teenage boy was found and recovered from the water.&lt;/p&gt;
  4585.  
  4586.  
  4587.  
  4588. &lt;p&gt;The boy’s next of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kin/&quot;&gt;kin&lt;/a&gt; have been notified, Suffolk Police has said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4589.  
  4590.  
  4591.  
  4592. &lt;p&gt;The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file with be prepared for the coroner in due course.&lt;/p&gt;
  4593.  
  4594.  
  4595.

  4597.  
  4598.  
  4599.  
  4600. &lt;p&gt;A Suffolk Police spokesman said: &amp;#8220;Police can confirm the body of a teenager has been located in the River Waveney in Beccles.&lt;/p&gt;
  4601.  
  4602.  
  4603.  
  4604. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Officers were called to Beccles Quay, off Fen Lane, just before 7.30pm, following concerns for the safety of a teenage boy who had entered the river with friends but had not resurfaced.&lt;/p&gt;

  4612. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Searches were conducted and sadly the body of a teenage boy has now been located and recovered from the water.&lt;/p&gt;
  4613.

  4681.  
  4682.  
  4683.  
  4684. &lt;p&gt;The internal memo, seen by The Sun, warns: “Some of what we will need to consider will require us to challenge our current approaches.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4685.  
  4686.  
  4687.  
  4688. &lt;p&gt;Ambassadors have been ordered to “use the levers of our bilateral relationships more creatively to drive cooperation”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4689.  
  4690.  
  4691.  
  4692. &lt;p&gt;It comes after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35648427/small-boats-crossings-record-year-starmer/#:~:text=BRITAIN's%20small%20boat%20crisis%20has,ahead%20of%20last%20year's%20pace.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;migrant Channel crossings&lt;/a&gt; this year to date surged past the 20,000 marker in record time piling pressure on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; to get a grip.&lt;/p&gt;
  4693.

  4697.  
  4698.  
  4699.  
  4700. &lt;p&gt;Yesterday, amid chaotic scenes in Graveline, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/france/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;, a desperate mother with her child was seen pleading with traffickers to let her aboard a dinghy.&lt;/p&gt;

  4709.  
  4710.  
  4711.  
  4712. &lt;p&gt;More than 18,000 have arrived in dinghies so far this year ­—&amp;nbsp;and opposition MPs said the crossings should now be declared a “national security crisis”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4713.  
  4714.  
  4715.  
  4716. &lt;p&gt;Senior security sources warned The Sun that foreign powers are backing or exploiting smuggling gangs in a bid to destabilise Britain.&lt;/p&gt;

  4804. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tony-pulis/&quot;&gt;Pulis&lt;/a&gt; believes his capture would be a massive statement of intent by Gers’ new American owners.&lt;/p&gt;
  4805.  
  4806.  
  4807.  
  4808. &lt;p&gt;The legendary former Stoke boss said: “If &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jamie-vardy/&quot;&gt;Jamie Vardy&lt;/a&gt; went to Rangers he would be joining a huge rivalry, they have new owners and will want to invest into the team to make things more competitive.&lt;/p&gt;
  4809.  
  4810.  
  4811.  
  4812. &lt;p&gt;“Russell Martin is at a massive, massive &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; club and that comes with expectations. If he does bring big names in, that will go through the roof.&lt;/p&gt;

  4819.  
  4820. &lt;p&gt;“Jamie Vardy will not be short of offers. You don’t know whether he’s waiting for another Premier League club to come in for him, but he’s been a fantastic player.&lt;/p&gt;
  4821.  
  4822.  
  4823.  
  4824. &lt;p&gt;“Taking Leicester to the Premier League title, winning the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fa-cup/&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/a&gt;, he is a fit lad and doesn’t look to have put any weight on. I’m sure he will have something on his mind.&lt;/p&gt;
  4825.  
  4826.  
  4827.  
  4828. &lt;p&gt;“He’ll have a preference and he might be waiting to see what offers he gets, but he will have options all over the world.”&lt;/p&gt;

  4948. &lt;p&gt;BIG Brother legend Charley Uchea has revealed she was rushed to hospital after being “left for dead” following a nasty car smash.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  4965.  
  4966.  
  4967.  
  4968. &lt;p&gt;The TV star, who shot to fame on the eight series of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/big-brother/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; in 2007, also posted a clip showing her in hospital. &lt;/p&gt;
  4969.  
  4970.  
  4971.  
  4972. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me, then leaves me [for] dead on the side of the road.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4973.  
  4974.  
  4975.  
  4976. &lt;p&gt;Iconic housemate Charley looked to be in a lot of pain as she showed off some nasty bruises on her face.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4977.  
  4978.  
  4979.  
  4980. &lt;p&gt;She added: “Bless my nurse brushing my hair out, I can’t really use my arms atm I’m so weak.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4981.  
  4982.  
  4983.  
  4984. &lt;p&gt;Charley series of Big Brother also starred other memorable housemates including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chanelle-hayes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chanelle Hayes&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1683623/big-brothers-brian-belo-is-backed-by-former-contestants-as-he-urges-bosses-to-take-better-care-of-housemates/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brian Belo&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  4985.  
  4986.  
  4987.  
  4988. &lt;p&gt;Feisty Charley quickly became known for her short temper during her time in the house and it seems she’s still as outspoken as ever.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4989.  
  4990.  
  4991.  
  4992. &lt;p&gt;In 2022, Charley was forced to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19409179/big-brother-icon-hits-back-bleaches-skin/&quot;&gt;hit back at claims&lt;/a&gt; she had been bleaching her skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  4993.  
  4994.  
  4995.  
  4996. &lt;p&gt;Shutting down her haters, the Instagram influencer wrote: “Apparently some silly mug is posting me on Twitter and it’s going viral about me bleaching my skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  4997.  
  4998.  
  4999.  
  5000. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Omg I was on holiday before BB so obviously I’ll be darker.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5001.  
  5002.  
  5003.  
  5004. &lt;p&gt;She then shared a picture of herself as a child and wrote: “So this is me, a spoilt brat when I was young with my dad.&lt;/p&gt;

  5061. &lt;p&gt;A SCHEME allowing benefit claimants to swap payments for new cars has been used by hundreds with drink issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  5062.  
  5063.  
  5064.  
  5065. &lt;p&gt;Figures show 770 people with alcohol-related problems lease &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cars/&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/a&gt; from the Motability &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5066.  
  5067.  
  5068.  
  5069. &lt;p&gt;Another 220 have drug misuse issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  5070.  
  5071.  
  5072.  
  5073. &lt;p&gt;Claimants must receive an enhanced rate for significant mobility difficulties in their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt; benefit to qualify for the state-funded scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  5074.  
  5075.  
  5076.  
  5077. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33884094/motability-scheme-corrupted-scammers/&quot;&gt;Motability came under fire&lt;/a&gt; recently as it emerged people online boasted of gaming the system to get new cars “basically free”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5078.  
  5079.  
  5080.  
  5081. &lt;p&gt;John O’Connell, at the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: &amp;#8220;Taxpayers will rightly question how alcohol misuse qualifies someone for a brand new car on the Motability scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
  5082.  
  5083.  
  5084.  
  5085. &lt;p&gt;“With nearly 6,000 people receiving enhanced PIP for alcohol dependency, it’s clear the system is in urgent need of reform.&lt;/p&gt;
  5086.  
  5087.  
  5088.  
  5089. &lt;p&gt;“The government must take a hard look at the criteria and amend it before this situation gets worse.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5090.  
  5091.  
  5092.  
  5093. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33884094/motability-scheme-corrupted-scammers/&quot;&gt;Motability&lt;/a&gt; said: “Anyone with an unspent drink-driving conviction cannot drive our vehicles.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5094.  
  5095.  
  5096.  
  5097. &lt;p&gt;Motability has grown rapidly since Covid and now buys every one in five new cars sold in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  5144. &lt;p&gt;TENNIS power couple Stefanos &lt;strong&gt;Tsitsip&lt;/strong&gt;as and Paula Badosa have broken up, according to reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  5145.  
  5146.  
  5147.  
  5148. &lt;p&gt;It comes just a day after both suffered defeats in the opening round at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5161.  
  5162.  
  5163.  
  5164. &lt;p&gt;Tsitsipas, 26, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28144991/french-open-tennis-stefanos-tsitsipas-paula-badosa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;began dating Badosa&lt;/a&gt;, 27, in May 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  5165.  
  5166.  
  5167.  
  5168. &lt;p&gt;They broke up for a matter of weeks last year before reconciling.&lt;/p&gt;
  5169.  
  5170.  
  5171.  
  5172. &lt;p&gt;But bombshell reports from Spanish magazine &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Hola (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.hola.com/actualidad/20250702841694/paula-badosa-y-tsitsipas-confirmacion-ruptura/?utm_campaign=hola&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=twitter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Hola&lt;/a&gt; say they have now split up again.&lt;/p&gt;
  5173.  
  5174.  
  5175.  
  5176. &lt;p&gt;Tsitsipas and Badosa have also unfollowed each other on Instagram and posts of them together have been deleted.&lt;/p&gt;
  5177.  
  5178.  
  5179.  
  5180. &lt;p&gt;It has been claimed: &amp;#8220;They were going through a rough patch professionally, with injuries, and that affected their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  5181.  
  5182.  
  5183.  
  5184. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re not well, of course. It&amp;#8217;s normal for any couple that breaks up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5185.  
  5186.  
  5187.  
  5188. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They had started the year very well and their dream has been shattered.&lt;/p&gt;
  5189.  
  5190.  
  5191.  
  5192. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They have struggled to make their relationship work. Ghosts from the past have returned, marked by the injuries they have both suffered.&lt;/p&gt;
  5193.  
  5194.  
  5195.  
  5196. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/GM_29-06_WIMBLEDON-BLOG_COMP_a7b657.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35620584&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

  5201.  
  5202.  
  5203.  
  5204. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a healthy breakup and there were no third parties or family influences, as is starting to be said.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5205.  
  5206.  
  5207.  
  5208. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35637994/katie-boulter-paula-badosa-wimbledon-tsitsipas/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Badosa lost to British ace Katie Boutler&lt;/a&gt; in a tight three-set encounter on day one of Wimbledon.&lt;/p&gt;
  5209.  
  5210.  
  5211.  
  5212. &lt;p&gt;As for Tsitsipas, he exited the tournament on day two after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35633045/stefanos-tsitsipas-wimbledon-retires-valentin-royer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pulling out when two sets down&lt;/a&gt; to Valentin Royer due to a back injury &amp;#8211; not a broken heart.&lt;/p&gt;
  5213.  
  5214.  
  5215.  
  5216. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/stefanos-tsitsipas/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Greek ace&lt;/a&gt; admitted the fitness issue had made him &amp;#8220;miserable&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5217.  
  5218.  
  5219.  
  5220. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s probably the most difficult situation that I&amp;#8217;ve ever been faced with, because it&amp;#8217;s an ongoing issue that doesn&amp;#8217;t seem to be disappearing or fading off as much.&lt;/p&gt;
  5221.  
  5222.  
  5223.  
  5224. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Myself, as a person, I have a limit at some point, so I&amp;#8217;ll definitely have to have my final answer on whether I want to do stuff or not in the next couple of months.&lt;/p&gt;
  5225.  
  5226.  
  5227.  
  5228. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is going to be hard, but if I see it going in that trajectory, there is no point at competing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5229.  
  5230.  
  5231.  
  5232. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If I&amp;#8217;m not healthy, and I&amp;#8217;ve talked about health so many times, if health is not there, then your whole tennis life becomes miserable.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5233.

  5297.  
  5298.  
  5299.  
  5300. &lt;p&gt;Over the last week, she has made a play for both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35323162/harry-cooksley-love-island-2025-cast-contestant/&quot;&gt;Harry&lt;/a&gt; AND &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35448400/new-love-island-bombshell-harrison-fancies-toni/&quot;&gt;Harrison&lt;/a&gt;, despite them both being coupled up with Shakira and Toni.&lt;/p&gt;

  5317.  
  5318.  
  5319.  
  5320. &lt;p&gt;During this week&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35634794/first-look-love-islands-sexiest-ever-heart-rate-challenge/&quot;&gt;Heart Rate Challenge&lt;/a&gt;, Helena made her desire for her ex Harry clear when she whispered a raunchy message in his ear.&lt;/p&gt;
  5321.  
  5322.  
  5323.  
  5324. &lt;p&gt;Kneeling on the floor, she suggestively sucked his finger, she said: &amp;#8220;I want to f*** you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5325.  
  5326.  
  5327.  
  5328. &lt;p&gt;Now, Harry has ramped up the sexual tension by making a cheeky comment to Helena while they were sat talking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5329.  
  5330.  
  5331.  
  5332. &lt;p&gt;He asked her: “What are you doing with your barnet tonight?” to which Helena replied: “I don’t know, what should I do?”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5333.  
  5334.  
  5335.  
  5336. &lt;p&gt;Harry quickly responded: “Well keep it out of your face, we’ve got to get busy later.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5337.  
  5338.  
  5339.  
  5340. &lt;p&gt;He went on: “Nah I’m just joking, wear it down.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5341.  
  5342.  
  5343.  
  5344. &lt;p&gt;Emily and Tommy sat next to them awkwardly laughing at the sexual joke.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5345.  
  5346.  
  5347.  
  5348. &lt;p&gt;Harry went on: “A bit more to grab onto,” before taking a sip of his drink.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5349.

  5376. &lt;p&gt;As a result, fans on X have begged for movie night to expose Harry’s comments to Shakira, who he is coupled up with.&lt;/p&gt;

  5404. &lt;ul&gt;
  5405. &lt;li&gt;Tommy and Emily&lt;/li&gt;
  5406. &lt;li&gt;Shakira and Harry&lt;/li&gt;
  5407. &lt;li&gt;Gio and Yasmin&lt;/li&gt;

  5415. &lt;/div&gt;
  5417.  
  5418.  
  5419.  
  5420. &lt;p&gt;Things are also heating up between Helena and Harrison.&lt;/p&gt;
  5421.  
  5422.  
  5423.  
  5424. &lt;p&gt;When Toni was away from the villa, Helena made a play for Harrison on the terrace and ended up snogging him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5425.  
  5426.  
  5427.  
  5428. &lt;p&gt;She also appears not to care that her actions have been upsetting both Toni and Shakira.&lt;/p&gt;
  5429.  
  5430.  
  5431.  
  5432. &lt;p&gt;Fans have now come up with a theory&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35657696/love-island-fan-theory-helena-behaviour/&quot;&gt; about why Helena might be behaving this way.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5433.  
  5434.  
  5435.  
  5436. &lt;p&gt;Some believe she may be feeling &amp;#8220;insecure&amp;#8221; in the villa &amp;#8211; prompting her to act as though she &amp;#8220;doesn&amp;#8217;t care&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5437.  
  5438.  
  5439.  
  5440. &lt;p&gt;Taking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/reddit/&quot;&gt;Reddit&lt;/a&gt; to discuss, one said: &amp;#8220;I think she&amp;#8217;s still quite insecure in herself.&lt;/p&gt;
  5441.  
  5442.  
  5443.  
  5444. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I really don&amp;#8217;t like how she&amp;#8217;s conducted herself the past few days as it&amp;#8217;s now caused two girls to have their feelings really hurt but what she&amp;#8217;s doing isn&amp;#8217;t the actions of a person who has any confidence in herself.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5445.  
  5446.  
  5447.  
  5448. &lt;p&gt;While another added: &amp;#8220;I find myself feeling sad for her that her self esteem is clearly so low that she is absolutely fine and content with being a side chick to other woman.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5490. &lt;p&gt;BRITAIN will be “fat free” within a decade, paving the way for tax cuts worth billions of pounds, Wes Streeting declared yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  5491.  
  5492.  
  5493.  
  5494. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wes-streeting/&quot;&gt;The Health Secretary&lt;/a&gt; told The Sun he is on a mission to slash levies by giving more people access to drugs such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ozempic/&quot;&gt;Ozempic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35653092/greenock-mum-lost-five-stone-mounjaro-dropped-shoe-size/&quot;&gt;Mounjaro&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  5499.  
  5500.  
  5501.  
  5502. &lt;p&gt;Mr Streeting said: “The jabs are a route not just to lower weight, but lower taxes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5503.  
  5504.  
  5505.  
  5506. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/obesity/&quot;&gt;Obesity&lt;/a&gt;-related illnesses cost the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; a whopping £6billion every year.&lt;/p&gt;
  5507.  
  5508.  
  5509.  
  5510. &lt;p&gt;Currently people with a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12235684/weight-loss-calculator-how-much-lose-to-get-healthy-bmi/&quot;&gt;BMI&lt;/a&gt; of 35 or more — or 30 but with a health condition — can be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/35316622/fat-jab-nhs-prescriptions-doubles/&quot;&gt;prescribed jabs on the NHS&lt;/a&gt; through specialist weight-management services.&lt;/p&gt;
  5511.  
  5512.  
  5513.  
  5514. &lt;p&gt;But for those who do not meet the criteria, accessing the injections can set household finances back hundreds of pounds a month.&lt;/p&gt;
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517.  
  5518. &lt;p&gt;The Health Secretary said: “Not everyone in this country has £2,500 a year to spend on weight-loss jabs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5519.  
  5520.  
  5521.  
  5522. &lt;p&gt;“For &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; MPs like myself, this strikes at the heart of the fairness principle of the NHS, which is supposed to be available for everyone based on need, not ability to pay. &lt;/p&gt;
  5523.  
  5524.  
  5525.  
  5526. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We’re looking to seriously scale up &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/35625605/fat-jabs-nhs-high-street-pharmacies-without-seeing-gp/&quot;&gt;access to weight-loss jabs&lt;/a&gt; for everyone who needs them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5527.  
  5528.  
  5529.  
  5530. &lt;p&gt;NHS spending watchdog the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence believes this could lift swathes of people out of the “obese” category and get them &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34884789/fat-jabs-get-britain-working/&quot;&gt;back to work&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5531.  
  5532.  
  5533.  
  5534. &lt;p&gt;It estimates fat jabs could boost the economy by 257,000 working days — worth £35.6million per year.&lt;/p&gt;
  5535.  
  5536.  
  5537.  
  5538. &lt;p&gt;Chief exec Dr Sam Roberts said: “The cost of inaction is simply too high.&lt;/p&gt;
  5539.  
  5540.  
  5541.  
  5542. &lt;p&gt;“Prioritising prevention is a win-win for the health of the nation and the economy.”&lt;/p&gt;

  5566. &lt;p&gt;This proactive approach to tackling obesity-related illnesses forms part of Mr Streeting’s landmark &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/31211262/government-calls-on-nation-help-fix-nhs-share-experiences/&quot;&gt;ten-year health plan&lt;/a&gt;, which will also see the NHS become a neighbourhood health service. &lt;/p&gt;
  5567.  
  5568.  
  5569.  
  5570. &lt;p&gt;Around 250 to 300 local health centres will be built, which will open six days a week and 12 hours a day.&lt;/p&gt;
  5571.  
  5572.  
  5573.  
  5574. &lt;p&gt;They will be staffed by doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, health visitors, weight-loss specialists and even job advisers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5575.  
  5576.  
  5577.  
  5578. &lt;p&gt;Medics will be encouraged to go door-to-door to spot illnesses early.&lt;/p&gt;
  5579.  
  5580.  
  5581.  
  5582. &lt;p&gt;And patients will be offered scans, check-ups, straightforward treatment, and broader life help.&lt;/p&gt;
  5583.  
  5584.  
  5585.  
  5586. &lt;p&gt;AI will be used to answer patient questions in the NHS app, and record data and write letters for doctors.&lt;/p&gt;

  5591.  
  5592.  
  5593.  
  5594. &lt;p&gt;The aim is to ease pressure on hospitals, which have been buckling under demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  5595.  
  5596.  
  5597.  
  5598. &lt;p&gt;As part of the ten-year plan, Mr Streeting has vowed to fix &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/20402173/nhs-paying-agency-nurses-plug-staffing-crisis/&quot;&gt;staff shortages&lt;/a&gt; by hiring more doctors, encouraging medical training and rewriting GP contracts to improve funding.&lt;/p&gt;

  5603.  
  5604.  
  5605.  
  5606. &lt;p&gt;And more cash will be funnelled into working class areas to shrink the health gap between rich and poor.&lt;/p&gt;

  5618. &lt;p&gt;SUN readers have won the argument for keeping pub gardens smoker-friendly, Wes Streeting said yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  5619. &lt;p&gt;We revealed Labour’s plans for an outdoor ban last year. It sparked a public backlash and political U-turn.&lt;/p&gt;
  5620. &lt;p&gt;Wes joked: “I’ve lost the battle. &lt;/p&gt;
  5621. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I’ll have to keep inhaling smoke in the beer garden.” &lt;/p&gt;
  5622. &lt;p&gt;He will push supermarkets and restaurants to sell healthier food and shift discounts on to fruit and veg, insisting: “It’s nudge, not nanny.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5623. &lt;/div&gt;

  5703. &lt;p&gt;Very nice cars.&lt;/p&gt;
  5704.  
  5705.  
  5706.  
  5707. &lt;p&gt;Except I’m going to smoke them in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34386423/kia-ev6-upgrade-motors-review/&quot;&gt;Kia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5708.  
  5709.  
  5710.  
  5711. &lt;p&gt;Then make a cup of tea with it afterwards.&lt;/p&gt;
  5712.  
  5713.  
  5714.  
  5715. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/24784324/new-volkswagen-spotted-for-first-time-on-track/&quot;&gt;Golf R&lt;/a&gt; is a lovely bit of kit. Nailed-on future classic.&lt;/p&gt;
  5716.  
  5717.  
  5718.  
  5719. &lt;p&gt;Sully’s got 333 horses to play with and sticky four-wheel drive to go round significant corners at considerable speeds.&lt;/p&gt;
  5720.  
  5721.  
  5722.

  5727. &lt;p&gt;Eat my rubber.&lt;/p&gt;

  5752.  
  5753.  
  5754.  
  5755. &lt;p&gt;The noise — 510 horses, manual gearbox, red lines at 9,000rpm. No rear wing. Absolute weapon.&lt;/p&gt;
  5756.  
  5757.  
  5758.  
  5759. &lt;p&gt;Just stay away from those concrete barriers, eh, Noshy lad. They look hungry.&lt;/p&gt;
  5760.  
  5761.  
  5762.  
  5763. &lt;p&gt;Right, let’s hit you with some times.&lt;/p&gt;
  5764.  
  5765.  
  5766.  
  5767. &lt;p&gt;The Golf R’s quickest run was 12.5 seconds, reaching 110mph.&lt;/p&gt;
  5768.  
  5769.  
  5770.  
  5771. &lt;p&gt;The 911 edged it with 12.2 seconds and 119mph.&lt;/p&gt;
  5772.  
  5773.  
  5774.  
  5775. &lt;p&gt;Then it was my turn in Kia’s EV6 GT.&lt;/p&gt;
  5776.  
  5777.  
  5778.  
  5779. &lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/electric-cars/&quot;&gt;electric cars&lt;/a&gt; accelerate — even the cheaper ones — they leave your head buried in the back of the headrest.&lt;/p&gt;
  5780.  
  5781.  
  5782.  
  5783. &lt;p&gt;This one, with 641 horses and 770Nm of torques, scrambles your eggs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5784.  
  5785.  
  5786.  
  5787. &lt;p&gt;Needless to say, we blitzed the £158k Porker by more than a second, flashing up 11.165 seconds and 124mph on the iconic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34645613/fastest-ford-worldwide-three-records/&quot;&gt;Santa Pod&lt;/a&gt; gantry.&lt;/p&gt;
  5788.  
  5789.  
  5790.  
  5791. &lt;p&gt;Wallop.&lt;/p&gt;
  5792.  
  5793.  
  5794.  
  5795. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35670940&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kia-drag-race-shoot-santa-1006678156.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Blue Kia EV6 at a racetrack.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35670940&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Ian Roman&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The EV6 GT is faster than before, goes further, and recharges quicker[/caption]
  5796.  
  5797.  
  5798.  
  5799. &lt;p&gt;With more road in front of us, like an unrestricted autobahn, we could have kept on pushing to a very un-Kia-like 161mph.&lt;/p&gt;
  5800.  
  5801.  
  5802.  
  5803. &lt;p&gt;New virtual gearshift technology adds simulated gear changes and fake engine sounds if you want them. &lt;/p&gt;
  5804.  
  5805.  
  5806.  
  5807. &lt;p&gt;Otherwise just pin it to win it. &lt;/p&gt;
  5808.  
  5809.  
  5810.  
  5811. &lt;p&gt;My new friend Nosh, an architect from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;, was clearly impressed.&lt;/p&gt;
  5812.  
  5813.  
  5814.  
  5815. &lt;p&gt;He said: “It’s amazing isn’t it, ridiculously fast. &lt;/p&gt;
  5816.  
  5817.  
  5818.  
  5819. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Eventually, when we have to, I’ll probably get one.&lt;/p&gt;
  5820.  
  5821.  
  5822.  
  5823. &lt;p&gt;“But I’m going to enjoy a manual gearshift and loud engines for as long as I can.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5824.  
  5825.  
  5826.  
  5827. &lt;p&gt;Fair play. He’s owned some tasty motors over the years including a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31144226/new-ferrari-f80-hypercar-laferrari-successor/&quot;&gt;Ferrari&lt;/a&gt; 430 Scuderia and Porsche 930 Turbo “Widowmaker”.&lt;/p&gt;
  5828.  
  5829.  
  5830.  
  5831. &lt;p&gt;Right, back on topic.&lt;/p&gt;
  5832.  
  5833.  
  5834.  
  5835. &lt;p&gt;Not only is the newly-updated EV6 GT faster than before, it goes further, recharges more quickerly — like 18 minutes — and the cabin’s been given some love too.&lt;/p&gt;
  5836.  
  5837.  
  5838.  
  5839. &lt;p&gt;OUT goes the glossy piano black, replaced by less smudgy brushed plastic.&lt;/p&gt;
  5840.  
  5841.  
  5842.  
  5843. &lt;p&gt;IN comes lots of cool neon-green detailing.&lt;/p&gt;
  5844.  
  5845.  
  5846.  
  5847. &lt;p&gt;The twin-screen dash carries all the latest tech. &lt;/p&gt;
  5848.  
  5849.  
  5850.  
  5851. &lt;p&gt;You can use the car’s power supply to boil a kettle or inflate an air bed on festival weekends.&lt;/p&gt;
  5852.  
  5853.  
  5854.  
  5855. &lt;p&gt;Last observation. Price. &lt;/p&gt;
  5856.  
  5857.  
  5858.  
  5859. &lt;p&gt;EV6 GT is actually £2,690 cheaper than before at £59,985. For a better car.&lt;/p&gt;
  5860.  
  5861.  
  5862.  
  5863. &lt;p&gt;Kia is going to take some catching at this rate.&lt;/p&gt;

  5978. &lt;p&gt;JOAO PEDRO is the latest star to join Brazil’s prolific production line to ­Stamford Bridge.&lt;/p&gt;
  5979.  
  5980.  
  5981.  
  5982. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35625282/chelsea-paid-brighton-257m-transfers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chelsea’s new £60million forward&lt;/a&gt; admits the impressive back catalogue of Samba stars who have played for the club was a huge factor in his desire to follow suit.&lt;/p&gt;

  5994. &lt;p&gt;The Blues have had at least one Brazilian player in their squad every year since 2007.&lt;/p&gt;

  5999.  
  6000.  
  6001.  
  6002. &lt;p&gt;So much so that playing for the Blues was a boyhood ambition for the 23-year-old, who has arrived from Brighton on an eight-year deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  6003.  
  6004.  
  6005.

  6011.  
  6012.  
  6013.  
  6014. &lt;p&gt;“It’s a big &lt;span id=&quot;b63a4001-eae7-41be-b286-11c2e60b745d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;football&lt;/span&gt; club — that is why I chose to go to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6015.  
  6016.  
  6017.  
  6018. &lt;p&gt;Pedro’s signing confirms the colourful ­connection between &lt;span id=&quot;af534fd9-b4dd-4586-9052-6c6afb2682cc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/span&gt; and the greatest &lt;span id=&quot;88757114-8131-4395-a4f6-f551ed145fe3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;football&lt;/span&gt; nation on &lt;span id=&quot;a5ef099d-29a8-40a5-a90c-d98a1b76b645&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Earth&lt;/span&gt; remains fully open.&lt;/p&gt;
  6019.

  6022. &lt;p&gt;He joins countryman Andrey &lt;span id=&quot;429d2fa3-73c1-413a-bccb-0ba81a3e91fb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Santos&lt;/span&gt;, 21 — back from a season-long loan spell with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ligue-1/&quot;&gt;Ligue 1&lt;/a&gt; side Strasbourg — in the Chelsea squad.&lt;/p&gt;

  6030. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, 18-year-old Estevao Willian will link up with the Blues from quarter-final opponents &lt;span id=&quot;888f8242-393b-436e-b255-0078f2f946f8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Palmeiras&lt;/span&gt; after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/club-world-cup/&quot;&gt;Club World Cup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6058. &lt;p&gt;“I was talking with Andrey on &lt;span id=&quot;ebce6faa-1cec-4dd9-95ff-cfdd42656c71&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/span&gt;, asking about the guys, about the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  6059.  
  6060.  
  6061.  
  6062. &lt;p&gt;“And he said good things about the team, so it was good to join.&lt;/p&gt;
  6063.  
  6064.  
  6065.  
  6066. &lt;p&gt;“When you join one club and know one of the players, it makes it easier for sure.&lt;/p&gt;
  6067.  
  6068.  
  6069.  
  6070. &lt;p&gt;“I’m close with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-luiz/&quot;&gt;David Luiz&lt;/a&gt;. I spoke with him, not about Chelsea, but about my career. How I can develop it better, and he helped me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6071.  
  6072.  
  6073.  
  6074. &lt;p&gt;Defender Luiz is probably the standout Brazilian in Chelsea’s ­history &lt;span id=&quot;7b67d10e-8ee7-43e5-a510-d553345efa6f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;books&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6079.  
  6080.  
  6081.  
  6082. &lt;p&gt;And his leadership qualities were so formidable that Chelsea signed him twice.&lt;/p&gt;

  6095.  
  6096.  
  6097.  
  6098. &lt;p&gt;It is too soon to know whether &lt;span id=&quot;d584c04c-0a5a-4469-aadc-608fc9c078d8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Pedro&lt;/span&gt; will follow in the big man’s footsteps or get his head down and get on with his game — like quiet man &lt;span id=&quot;15539e1f-3972-4db1-b99f-726ef2ffd1c4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Ramires&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6099.  
  6100.  
  6101.  
  6102. &lt;p&gt;But he is unlikely to go unnoticed.&lt;/p&gt;
  6103.  
  6104.  
  6105.  
  6106. &lt;p&gt;He scored 30 goals in 70 appearances for Brighton — but was also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34549677/brentford-beat-brighton-pedro-red/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sent off in his farewell performance&lt;/a&gt; against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225644/brentford/&quot;&gt;Brentford&lt;/a&gt; in May.&lt;/p&gt;
  6107.  
  6108.  
  6109.  
  6110. &lt;p&gt;The former Fluminese and Watford stiker boasts a reputation for having a big personality.&lt;/p&gt;
  6111.  
  6112.  
  6113.  
  6114. &lt;p&gt;And the Seagulls have included a sell-on clause in the deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  6115.  
  6116.  
  6117.  
  6118. &lt;p&gt;It suggests the South Coast club expect &lt;span id=&quot;52c0ac2d-273c-4fcd-a4cb-d16ef84a8c7c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Pedro&lt;/span&gt; will become world-class at Chelsea, prompting an even bigger club like Real &lt;span id=&quot;f177c166-c185-4e58-a194-aa74badd3c5a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Madrid&lt;/span&gt; to come knocking for him.&lt;/p&gt;
  6119.  
  6120.  
  6121.  
  6122. &lt;p&gt;He will get a quick chance to make an impact. Pedro flew from &lt;span id=&quot;74b2eb58-7fe2-4dab-8224-d1f5389bea5b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/span&gt; to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/united-states/&quot;&gt;United States&lt;/a&gt; — where Chelsea are contesting the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/club-world-cup/&quot;&gt;Club World Cup&lt;/a&gt; — for his medical.&lt;/p&gt;

  6128.  
  6129.  
  6130. &lt;p&gt;He has joined his new team-mates on the global stage and is even eligible to face ­Palmeiras in the quarter-finals in the early hours of Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  6131.

  6134. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea are suffering in the sweltering heat during training in &lt;span id=&quot;a3356136-94d3-46a5-a601-c2fa8d88f004&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Miami&lt;/span&gt; before heading to Philadelphia for the match.&lt;/p&gt;
  6135.  
  6136.  
  6137.  
  6138. &lt;p&gt;Pedro is the second big-name arrival for Chelsea’s &lt;span id=&quot;e2a03ce2-daa9-4865-aa87-b7510e3572e4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;frontline&lt;/span&gt; after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liam-delap/&quot;&gt;Liam Delap&lt;/a&gt; was brought in from Ipswich.&lt;/p&gt;
  6139.

  6155.  
  6156.  
  6157.  
  6158. &lt;p&gt;Explaining his game, Pedro said: “I’m very technical. I love to score. And when I was young I played in midfield as well, so I can give a pass to my team-mates.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6159.  
  6160.  
  6161.  
  6162. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea’s latest Brazilian will get an instant opportunity to &lt;span id=&quot;75831fe6-c74d-4953-a113-64aba4bd72c4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;showcase&lt;/span&gt; his value against familiar opposition.&lt;/p&gt;
  6163.  
  6164.  
  6165.  
  6166. &lt;p&gt;He added: “You have to be more ready because now if you lose the game, it’s done. You are kicked out to the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
  6167.  
  6168.  
  6169.  
  6170. &lt;p&gt;“And it’s also good to play against one team from our country. I know some of the players from ­Palmeiras. And it will be a great game.&lt;/p&gt;
  6171.  
  6172.  
  6173.  
  6174. &lt;p&gt;“Both teams want to go through. Let’s see what happens.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6175.  
  6176.  
  6177.  
  6178. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea’s early-season trip to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196655/west-ham/&quot;&gt;West Ham&lt;/a&gt; is set to be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35664373/chelseas-west-ham-friday-night-sky-sports-request/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;moved to a Friday night&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6179.  
  6180.  
  6181.  
  6182. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;e5c3d395-f646-4cbe-a7cd-a6232f6b570b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt; derby is scheduled for the second weekend of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  6183.  
  6184.  
  6185.  
  6186. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;span id=&quot;eb222836-b441-42e9-a9b7-1e0a46f49dff&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Sky&lt;/span&gt; Sports are understood to have suggested the match fill the 8pm evening slot on August 22.&lt;/p&gt;
  6187.  
  6188.

  6190. &lt;p&gt;The Met &lt;span id=&quot;dab34446-a8e0-4c44-9e50-8fd49744e6bb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/span&gt; and Newham Council must approve the switch — but it is understood there are no significant objections.&lt;/p&gt;
  6191.  
  6192.  
  6193.  
  6194. &lt;p&gt;Opening weekend TV picks were announced last month but Prem chiefs are due to reveal date changes for the rest of August and September by &lt;span id=&quot;4db0ac6c-6c13-42d4-bace-a0a5dc7fe0f8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;

  6255.  
  6256.  
  6257.  
  6258. &lt;p&gt;Toni Laites&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35664171/love-island-toni-laites-and-harrison-solomon-split-tonight/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; split with her partner&lt;/a&gt; Harrison Solomon in explosive scenes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6259.  
  6260.  
  6261.  
  6262. &lt;p&gt;Fans feared the US star could walk from the villa, with one writing: &amp;#8220;I got a feeling in the back of my head that Toni might just walk out….#LoveIsland.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6263.  
  6264.  
  6265.  
  6266. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Toni might walk uno, the way I see her #LoveIslandUK #LoveIsland.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6267.  
  6268.  
  6269.  
  6270. &lt;p&gt;A third shared: &amp;#8220;Toni walk aaaaaaaway ! We don&amp;#8217;t need to hear him out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6271.  
  6272.  
  6273.  
  6274. &lt;p&gt;Having been on a date &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35643872/ryan-bannister-love-island-2025-bombshell/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;with new bombshell Ryan&lt;/a&gt;, she&amp;#8217;d asked Harrison what he&amp;#8217;d been up to all day.&lt;/p&gt;
  6275.  
  6276.  
  6277.  
  6278. &lt;p&gt;The footballer shared: &amp;#8220;I spoke with Helena. We had a little chat. And we had, like, one kiss.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6279.  
  6280.  
  6281.  
  6282. &lt;p&gt;Rolling her eyes, Toni asked why Harrison never kissed fellow Islander Helena in front of her.&lt;/p&gt;
  6283.  
  6284.  
  6285.  
  6286. &lt;p&gt;He replied: &amp;#8220;Because&amp;#8230; that&amp;#8217;s mad, that&amp;#8217;s so awkward.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6287.  
  6288.  
  6289.  
  6290. &lt;p&gt;Toni shot back: &amp;#8220;Because you&amp;#8217;re a p***y. Grow a pair of balls and do it in front of my face.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6291.  
  6292.  
  6293.  
  6294. &lt;p&gt;After branding her love interest &amp;#8220;sneaky and weird&amp;#8221;, she stormed off leaving Harrison sitting alone.&lt;/p&gt;

  6327.

  6419.  
  6420.  
  6421.  
  6422. &lt;p&gt;The Swiss &amp;#8211; who infamously lost 7-1 to an Under-15s team as part of their preparations &amp;#8211; fell to a 2-1 defeat against Norway.&lt;/p&gt;
  6423.  
  6424.  
  6425.  
  6426. &lt;p&gt;Lehmann, who plays for Serie A champions &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1362318/juventus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Juventus&lt;/a&gt;, turned up at training camp with a striking difference.&lt;/p&gt;
  6427.  
  6428.  
  6429.  
  6430. &lt;p&gt;The winger, dubbed the &amp;#8220;world&amp;#8217;s sexiest footballer&amp;#8221; arrived in blue denim and designer gear.&lt;/p&gt;
  6431.  
  6432.  
  6433.  
  6434. &lt;p&gt;However, she also added glasses to her look.&lt;/p&gt;
  6435.  
  6436.  
  6437.  
  6438. &lt;p&gt;Reacting on Instagram, one fan said: &amp;#8220;So clean.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6439.  
  6440.  
  6441.  
  6442. &lt;p&gt;A second said: &amp;#8220;Those glasses make you look beyond wonderful.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6443.  
  6444.  
  6445.  
  6446. &lt;p&gt;A third added: &amp;#8220;Diva.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6447.  
  6448.  
  6449.  
  6450. &lt;p&gt;The 26-year-old had originally missed the cut from her nation&amp;#8217;s squad for the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
  6451.  
  6452.  
  6453.  
  6454. &lt;p&gt;However, an ankle injury to FC Koln midfielder Alena Bienz saw manager Pia Sundhage bring in the former Aston Villa star.&lt;/p&gt;
  6455.  
  6456.  
  6457.  
  6458. &lt;p&gt;But Lehmann could struggle for minutes during the competition after struggling to break into the starting XI and instead being deployed as a makeshift defender.&lt;/p&gt;

  6486. &lt;p&gt;Regardless of her initial snub, on the platform she revealed she was delighted to receive a call-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  6487.  
  6488.  
  6489.  
  6490. &lt;p&gt;She wrote: &amp;#8220;I couldn&amp;#8217;t be happier to represent my country at the Euros. I&amp;#8217;m so grateful for the opportunity. Let&amp;#8217;s make Switzerland proud and show how football is growing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6491.  
  6492.  
  6493.  
  6494. &lt;p&gt;Lehmann was named on the bench for her nation&amp;#8217;s opening game against Norway in Basel on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  6495.  
  6496.  
  6497.  
  6498. &lt;p&gt;She &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34741317/alisha-lehmann-douglas-luiz-aston-villa-juventus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;used to date Juventus men&amp;#8217;s team player Douglas Luiz&lt;/a&gt;, having joined him in a stunning double transfer from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196670/aston-villa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Aston Villa&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6502. &lt;p&gt;However, in May it was reported they had broken up.&lt;/p&gt;
  6503.  
  6504.  
  6505.  
  6506. &lt;p&gt;Things had started well for Switzerland in their opening game with Nadine Riesen giving the Swiss a first-half lead.&lt;/p&gt;
  6507.  
  6508.  
  6509.  
  6510. &lt;p&gt;However, a second-half collapse saw Norway win the clash 2-1, with former Ballon d&amp;#8217;Or winner Ada Hegerberg scoring the equaliser before missing a penalty.&lt;/p&gt;
  6511.  
  6512.  
  6513.  
  6514. &lt;p&gt;An own goal from Julia Stierli before that penalty miss was the decisive blow in the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  6515.  
  6516.  
  6517.  
  6518. &lt;p&gt;With Finland also beating Iceland 1-0 in the opener, Switzerland currently sit in third in Group A.&lt;/p&gt;

  6629. &lt;p&gt;A SICK killer strangled a mum to death in a bedsit before hiding her body under the sofa for several days.&lt;/p&gt;
  6630.  
  6631.  
  6632.  
  6633. &lt;p&gt;Monster Wayne Bond, 45, is facing life in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prison/&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/a&gt; for cruel murder of 31-year-old Rebecca Simkin.&lt;/p&gt;
  6634.

  6640.  
  6641. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35671966&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 481px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/beckii-amazing-mum-loving-daughter-1007088848.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=471&quot; alt=&quot;Mugshot of Wayne Bond, convicted of Rebecca Simkin's murder.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35671966&quot; width=&quot;471&quot; height=&quot;588&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Staffordshire Police&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Wayne Bond will be sentenced for murder on Friday[/caption]
  6642.  
  6643.  
  6644.  
  6645. &lt;p&gt;Bond was found guilty of killing the &amp;#8220;amazing&amp;#8221; mum in cold blood today.&lt;/p&gt;
  6646.  
  6647.  
  6648.  
  6649. &lt;p&gt;Stafford Crown Court&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;earlier heard Bond killed Beckii and hid her body under an upturned sofa of his Stafford home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6650.  
  6651.  
  6652.  
  6653. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;He then failed to alert emergency services for several days and did not give evidence during his 10-day trial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6654.  
  6655.  
  6656.  
  6657. &lt;p&gt;But a jury saw through his lies and he was today convicted of Beckii&amp;#8217;s murder.&lt;/p&gt;
  6658.  
  6659.  
  6660.  
  6661. &lt;p&gt;CCTV had shown Bond and Beckii, of Stafford, together on Newport Road, Stafford, at 7.40pm on Tuesday, July 23 last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6662.  
  6663.  
  6664.  
  6665. &lt;p&gt;Beckii could clearly be seen on the footage without any injuries. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; said.&lt;/p&gt;
  6666.  
  6667.  
  6668.  
  6669. &lt;p&gt;Footage then showed them entering Bond’s flat at Eagle House at around 9.15pm. &lt;/p&gt;
  6670.  
  6671.  
  6672.  
  6673. &lt;p&gt;Beckii, who didn’t live at Eagle House, was just visiting but was never seen again.&lt;/p&gt;
  6674.  
  6675.  
  6676.  
  6677. &lt;p&gt;She had been signed in but never signed out and the mum was not captured on any CCTV after that time.&lt;/p&gt;
  6678.  
  6679.  
  6680.  
  6681. &lt;p&gt;Several residents of the flats said they heard a woman screaming late on Thursday, July 25 and in the early hours of Friday July 26.&lt;/p&gt;
  6682.  
  6683.  
  6684.  
  6685. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  6687. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Domestic abuse - how to get help &lt;/h3&gt;
  6688. &lt;/div&gt;
  6689. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  6691. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  6692. DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. &lt;/p&gt;
  6694. &lt;div&gt;
  6695. &lt;p&gt;Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship:&lt;/p&gt;
  6696. &lt;ul&gt;
  6697. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Emotional abuse&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse &amp;#8211; gaslighting &amp;#8211; being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to&lt;/li&gt;
  6698. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Threats and intimidation&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you &lt;/li&gt;
  6699. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Physical abuse&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.&lt;/li&gt;
  6700. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sexual abuse&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.&lt;/li&gt;
  6701. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6702. &lt;p&gt;If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers:&lt;/p&gt;
  6703. &lt;ul&gt;
  6704. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Freephone National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by Refuge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;0808 2000 247&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for free at any time, day or night&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  6705. &lt;li&gt;Men who are being abused can call Respect Men&amp;#8217;s Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mankind.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ManKind&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;0182 3334 244&lt;/li&gt;
  6706. &lt;li&gt;Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring &lt;a href=&quot;https://galop.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Galop&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;0800 999 5428&lt;/li&gt;
  6707. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  6708. &lt;/ul&gt;
  6709. &lt;p&gt;Remember, you are not alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  6710. &lt;p&gt;1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;
  6711. &lt;p&gt;Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse.&lt;/p&gt;
  6712. &lt;/div&gt;
  6713. &lt;/div&gt;
  6714. &lt;/div&gt;
  6716.  
  6717.  
  6718.  
  6719. &lt;p&gt;Bond had returned to his flat at 10am on Monday, July 29 and told a member of staff that a woman who had been staying in his room had died, claiming they had a squabble.&lt;/p&gt;
  6720.  
  6721.  
  6722.  
  6723. &lt;p&gt;But Beckii&amp;#8217;s lifeless body was found wrapped in a blanket underneath the upturned settee. &lt;/p&gt;
  6724.  
  6725.  
  6726.  
  6727. &lt;p&gt;The mum was found with severe injuries to her face and neck.&lt;/p&gt;
  6728.  
  6729.  
  6730.  
  6731. &lt;p&gt;Beckii was pronounced dead by paramedics a short time later.&lt;/p&gt;
  6732.  
  6733.  
  6734.  
  6735. &lt;p&gt;Bond, of Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of murder by cops.&lt;/p&gt;
  6736.  
  6737.  
  6738.  
  6739. &lt;p&gt;In a statement, Beckii&amp;#8217;s mother and step-father, Julie and Michael Riglar, said: “Beckii was an amazing mum and loving daughter. Beckii had her faults but she never deserved to die this way.&lt;/p&gt;
  6740.  
  6741.  
  6742.  
  6743. &lt;p&gt;“We would like to thank Staffordshire Police for their hard work on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt; into Beckii’s murder, with special thanks to the family liaison officers, and investigators conducting the investigation.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6744.  
  6745.  
  6746.  
  6747. &lt;p&gt;Detective Inspector Gina Pope, of Staffordshire Police&amp;#8217;s Major Investigations Department, said: “Our thoughts remain with Beckii’s family and friends. Beckii was tragically subjected to a violent assault which sadly led to her death.&lt;/p&gt;
  6748.  
  6749.  
  6750.  
  6751. &lt;p&gt;“Bond showed absolute cowardice in failing to report Beckii’s death and leaving her in his flat for a number of days and for failing to give evidence during the trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  6752.  
  6753.  
  6754.  
  6755. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’d like to thank Beckii’s family, friends and the staff and residents of Eagle House, where she died, who have supported the investigation.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6756.  
  6757.  
  6758.  
  6759. &lt;p&gt;Bond is due to be sentenced on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6789. &lt;p&gt;A HUGE change to school uniform costs planned by the government could push up prices for families sending their kids back to school.&lt;/p&gt;
  6790.  
  6791.  
  6792.  
  6793. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/department-for-education/&quot;&gt;Department for Education&lt;/a&gt; revealed plans in April next year to cut school uniform costs for families, saving them £73 million a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6794.  
  6795.  
  6796.  
  6797. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35661132&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/children-modern-school-facility-1007024619.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Two schoolgirls holding hands and running down a school hallway.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35661132&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;School uniforms could actually go up in price, despite a government strategy to cut costs[/caption]
  6798.  
  6799.  
  6800.  
  6801. &lt;p&gt;In its Children’s Wellbeing and &lt;span id=&quot;dd815355-b19a-4dc8-a478-1d0b86ca64ee&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Schools&lt;/span&gt; Bill, plans included limiting the number of branded uniform items that schools ask parents to buy to three items, not including ties.&lt;/p&gt;
  6802.  
  6803.  
  6804.  
  6805. &lt;p&gt;The department said its measures would save families £50 per child, based on if they bought all their clothes from specialist uniform shops.&lt;/p&gt;
  6806.  
  6807.  
  6808.  
  6809. &lt;p&gt;Families are spending £442 on average to kit their child out for secondary school, and £343 for primary school, according to the government&amp;#8217;s own estimates.&lt;/p&gt;
  6810.  
  6811.  
  6812.  
  6813. &lt;p&gt;Education secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bridget-phillipson/&quot;&gt;Bridget Phillipson&lt;/a&gt; said at the time that looking smart at school &amp;#8220;shouldn&amp;#8217;t cost the &lt;span id=&quot;2400e5be-ad4b-4642-ba99-41ad346c7933&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8220;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6814.  
  6815.  
  6816.  
  6817. &lt;p&gt;But an industry trade body have warned that the government&amp;#8217;s cost-saving plans could actually push prices up instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  6818.  
  6819.  
  6820.  
  6821. &lt;p&gt;The Schoolwear Association said that 61% of suppliers would be forced into raising prices to cover &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; lost, according to a survey of 150 uniform shops.&lt;/p&gt;
  6822.  
  6823.  
  6824.  
  6825. &lt;p&gt;Some 53% said they would likely need to axe or remove discounts offered to low income families.&lt;/p&gt;
  6826.  
  6827.  
  6828.  
  6829. &lt;p&gt;A huge 86% of uniform retailers said the government&amp;#8217;s plans for a three-item cap would make school clothes more expensive in the long run.&lt;/p&gt;
  6830.  
  6831.  
  6832.  
  6833. &lt;p&gt;Matthew Easter from the Schoolwear Association said: &amp;#8220;These findings should come as a serious warning to the Government. &lt;/p&gt;
  6834.  
  6835.  
  6836.  
  6837. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have repeatedly tried to engage with ministers in a constructive way to warn of the risks of this policy&amp;nbsp;backfiring &amp;#8211; harming the very families it’s meant to help, and putting small community businesses and local &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt; at risk.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6838.  
  6839.  
  6840.  
  6841. &lt;p&gt;The Department for Education was approached for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  6842.  
  6843.  
  6844.  
  6845. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What help is available for school uniform?&lt;/h2&gt;
  6846.  
  6847.  
  6848.  
  6849. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35661195&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/children-school-uniforms-hanging-clothes-1007024492.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Blue and white school uniforms hanging on a clothes rack.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35661195&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;650&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Your local council could offer grants to help you afford the cost of school uniform[/caption]

  6869. &lt;p&gt;Ask friends and search on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; groups to see if any families in your local area are giving away old uniforms for free, or at a heavily reduced price.&lt;/p&gt;

  6947. &lt;p&gt;TWO dumped Love Islanders have been revealed, as villa stars broke down in tears over the shock exit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6948.  
  6949.  
  6950.  
  6951. &lt;p&gt;On Wednesday night’s episode of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt;, Tommy gets a text asking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35657215/two-islanders-dumped-love-island-brutal-vote-left-villa/&quot;&gt;all Islanders to gather round the Firepit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  6964.  
  6965.  
  6966.  
  6967. &lt;p&gt;And a second text tells Ryan and Billykiss, the new bombshells, to stand at the front.&lt;/p&gt;
  6968.

  6984.  
  6985.  
  6986.  
  6987. &lt;p&gt;The boys are told to stand up if they&amp;#8217;d like to recouple with Billykiss.&lt;/p&gt;
  6988.  
  6989.  
  6990.  
  6991. &lt;p&gt;Conor stands up, and says his date went really well with Billykiss and he&amp;#8217;d be doing himself a disservice to not explore their connection.&lt;/p&gt;
  6992.  
  6993.  
  6994.  
  6995. &lt;p&gt;Alima, left uncoupled, then takes Billykiss&amp;#8217; place up at the front.&lt;/p&gt;
  6996.  
  6997.  
  6998.  
  6999. &lt;p&gt;The girls then have to stand up if they&amp;#8217;d like to recouple with new bombshell Ryan, but none of the girls stand up.&lt;/p&gt;
  7000.  
  7001.  
  7002.  
  7003. &lt;p&gt;Due to both being single, Alma and new bombshell Ryan are dumped from the show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7004.  
  7005.  
  7006.  
  7007. &lt;p&gt;Ryan remarks that his time was short but sweet, but it’s Alima’s exit that leaves the girls in tears, as Toni and Yasmin are both seen crying.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7008.  
  7009.  
  7010.  
  7011. &lt;p&gt;Ryan had only just entered the show as a bombshell, alongside Billykiss.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7012.  
  7013.  
  7014.  
  7015. &lt;p&gt;A source said: &amp;#8220;Execs continue to throw twists and turns into the series and no one saw this one coming.&lt;/p&gt;

  7047. &lt;p&gt;It comes after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35653281/love-island-fans-rage-new-bombshells-alima/&quot;&gt;fans were left fuming&lt;/a&gt; that no bombshell had been brought in for OG girl &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35285287/alima-gagigo-love-island-2025-cast-contestant/&quot;&gt;Alima Gagigo&lt;/a&gt;, as they demanded to know why she’s not being considered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7048.  
  7049.  
  7050.  
  7051. &lt;p&gt;Commenting on social media after the latest stars were revealed, one wrote: “can they please bring in someone for alima oh my god.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7068. WHO is coupled up with who after two new bombshells arrived in the ITV2 show villa? &lt;/p&gt;
  7070. &lt;div&gt;
  7071. &lt;ul&gt;
  7072. &lt;li&gt;Tommy and Emily&lt;/li&gt;
  7073. &lt;li&gt;Shakira and Harry&lt;/li&gt;
  7074. &lt;li&gt;Gio and Yasmin&lt;/li&gt;
  7075. &lt;li&gt;Dejon and Meg&lt;/li&gt;
  7076. &lt;li&gt;Ben and Helena&lt;/li&gt;
  7077. &lt;li&gt;Harrison and Toni&lt;/li&gt;
  7078. &lt;li&gt;Conor and Alima&lt;/li&gt;
  7079. &lt;/ul&gt;
  7080. &lt;/div&gt;
  7081. &lt;/div&gt;
  7082. &lt;/div&gt;
  7084.  
  7085.  
  7086.  
  7087. &lt;p&gt;And a third added: “No bombshell for Alima?”&lt;/p&gt;
  7088.  
  7089.  
  7090.  
  7091. &lt;p&gt;Alima was in a romance with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35386884/remell-mullings-love-island-2025-cast-contestant-bombshell/&quot;&gt;Remell Mullins&lt;/a&gt;, but swiftly ended things after learning of his behaviour during a sleepover with Poppy Harrison.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7092.  
  7093.  
  7094.  
  7095. &lt;p&gt;The shock dumping also comes after it was revealed that the show has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35666365/love-island-racks-up-over-1k-ofcom-complaints/&quot;&gt;racked up over 1k Ofcom complaints in just days&lt;/a&gt;, with viewers raising concerns over alleged &lt;span id=&quot;8533de17-15fc-4aab-89b2-427b6194a02d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;bullying&lt;/span&gt; and misogyny by contestants.&lt;/p&gt;
  7096.  
  7097.  
  7098.  
  7099. &lt;p&gt;The 1,138 objections relate to episodes broadcast on 26, 27 and 29 June, and cite the behaviour of islanders Ben Holbrough, Meg Moore and Helena &lt;span id=&quot;877003f1-405b-4118-a5fe-83cf618285c1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Ford&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7100.  
  7101.  
  7102.  
  7103. &lt;p&gt;On June 19, 123 complaints followed a heated game of Look Who&amp;#8217;s Talking.&lt;/p&gt;
  7104.  
  7105.  
  7106.  
  7107. &lt;p&gt;Then, on June 26, 884 were made after an argument between Yasmin and Ben.&lt;/p&gt;
  7108.  
  7109.  
  7110.  
  7111. &lt;p&gt;The dispute began when Ben ended their relationship, saying he needed to “take a step back”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7112.  
  7113.  
  7114.  
  7115. &lt;p&gt;And, on June 27, 131 came in after Helena and Harrison shared a kiss in the hideaway.&lt;/p&gt;
  7116.  
  7117.  
  7118.  
  7119. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ofcom/&quot;&gt;Ofcom&lt;/a&gt;, viewers accuse the show of failing to intervene appropriately.&lt;/p&gt;
  7120.  
  7121.  
  7122.  
  7123. &lt;p&gt;The broadcasting regulator is currently assessing the complaints before deciding whether to launch a formal &lt;span id=&quot;66347803-6c74-43ce-ac4b-27dd7c2700a1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7124.  
  7125.  
  7126.  
  7127. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; has been contacted for comment.Fans previously &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35623098/love-island-fans-ben-kicked-off-misogynistic/&quot;&gt;called for Ben to be kicked off the show&lt;/a&gt; after his &amp;#8220;misogynistic&amp;#8221; behaviour was pointed out by the girls.&lt;/p&gt;

  7166. &lt;p&gt;SUPERMARKET Lidl is rolling with the Oasis vibe by selling a jacket styled on a posh one band frontman Liam Gallagher wore.&lt;/p&gt;
  7167.  
  7168.  
  7169.  
  7170. &lt;p&gt;The chain is offering its Lidl by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lidl/&quot;&gt;Lidl&lt;/a&gt; coat — named after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oasis&quot;&gt;the band&lt;/a&gt;’s 2002 single Little by Little — in its signature colours for £30.&lt;/p&gt;

  7186. &lt;p&gt;Last October &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/liam-gallagher/&quot;&gt;Liam&lt;/a&gt; modelled a £400 red, yellow and blue Berghaus jacket which caused fans to joke that he looked like a Lidl worker. &lt;/p&gt;
  7187.  
  7188.  
  7189.  
  7190. &lt;p&gt;One jibed: “Lidl are asking for their staff back!” with another chiming in “Proper Lidl workers jacket that…”&lt;/p&gt;
  7191.  
  7192.  
  7193.  
  7194. &lt;p&gt;Staying true to the Mancunian band&amp;#8217;s roots, the Lidl jacket was unveiled via a 30ft wonderwall in the Gallagher boys’ hometown outside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;’s Etihad Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  7195.  
  7196.  
  7197.  
  7198. &lt;p&gt;It even honours their hard partying past with a zip that doubles as a bottle opener, two nifty drinks cooling pockets specifically designed for &amp;#8220;tour roadies.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7199.

  7202. &lt;p&gt;The Oasis reunion tour kicks off in Cardiff this Friday, with &lt;span&gt;preparations at the Welsh capital’s&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35625944/liam-gallagher-oasis-update-deleted-tweet/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Principality Stadium&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;well under way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7203.  
  7204.  
  7205.  
  7206. &lt;p&gt;On Monday, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35655211/oasis-reunion-tour-setlist-cardiff/&quot;&gt;the city could hear a soundcheck&lt;/a&gt; where a string of songs were blasted out through the open roof, giving clues of what will be on the setlist.&lt;/p&gt;
  7207.  
  7208.  
  7209.  
  7210. &lt;p&gt;Live versions of their 1995 No1 Some Might Say, 1994’s Cigarettes &amp;amp; Alcohol and Fn’ In The Bushes, from 2000 album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, were all played.&lt;/p&gt;
  7211.  
  7212.  
  7213.  
  7214. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/noel-gallagher/&quot;&gt;Noel&lt;/a&gt; and Liam are not thought to have been there for the soundcheck, with Liam posting on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt; that “nobody rehearses on a Monday”.&lt;/p&gt;

  7312.  
  7313.  
  7314.  
  7315. &lt;p&gt;The trousers, which come in sizes XS to XL, are available in blue or green stripes.&lt;/p&gt;
  7316.  
  7317.  
  7318.  
  7319. &lt;p&gt;They have a drawstring waist for extra comfort and are described as a &amp;#8220;relaxed fit&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  7320.  
  7321.  
  7322.  
  7323. &lt;p&gt;In the online description, the Primark team adds: &amp;#8220;Add a little texture to your wardrobe with these striped seersucker beauties. &lt;/p&gt;
  7324.  
  7325.  
  7326.  
  7327. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Cut in a regular fit with a mid-rise waist, they’re designed with a comfy drawstring fastening and easy wide legs for that laid-back feel.&lt;/p&gt;
  7328.  
  7329.  
  7330.  
  7331. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Pair with the matching waistcoat for an effortless co-ord look or mix it up with a simple tee or tank. A fit that can take you from day to night? Sorted!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7332.  
  7333.  
  7334.  
  7335. &lt;p&gt;Unsurprisingly, shoppers have been racing to their nearest store to get their hands on the flattering trousers.&lt;/p&gt;
  7336.  
  7337.  
  7338.  
  7339. &lt;p&gt;In a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;TikTok post (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@carys.whittaker/video/7519146384423947542&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;TikTok post&lt;/a&gt;, fashion fan Carys hailed them as a &amp;#8220;summer vibe&amp;#8221; that&amp;#8217;s perfect for a &amp;#8220;round belly and bloat-friendly&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  7379. &lt;p&gt;A third cried: &amp;#8220;Stoppp! I have to go to Primark now!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7380.  
  7381.  
  7382.  
  7383. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Need some trousers like that for the school run&amp;#8221;, wrote a fourth.&lt;/p&gt;
  7384.  
  7385.  
  7386.  
  7387. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, a fifth said: &amp;#8220;I picked up the trousers yesterday! Super comfy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7388.

  7395. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere in store, shoppers have found a winning summer dress that&amp;#8217;s floaty and great quality &amp;#8211; and there’s a mini-me version too.&lt;/p&gt;
  7396.  
  7397.  
  7398.  
  7399. &lt;p&gt;Amanda, the self-proclaimed &amp;#8220;confidence queen” and size 14 fashionista, who regularly shares high-street fashion content online, has praised the Primark frock that’s super floaty and cool.&lt;/p&gt;
  7400.  
  7401.  
  7402.  
  7403. &lt;p&gt;She modelled the sleeveless V-neck&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/trapeze-mini-dress-white-991141000002&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Trapeze Mini Dress&lt;/a&gt;, that’s ideal for holidays.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7404.  
  7405.  
  7406.  
  7407. &lt;p&gt;Thrilled with the white trapeze frock, which features an elegant tiered shape, the content creator beamed: “This one might just win me over girls, because there&amp;#8217;s a mini-me.&lt;/p&gt;
  7408.  
  7409.  
  7410.  
  7411. &lt;p&gt;“The quality of this feels absolutely fantastic. It&amp;#8217;s lovely and floaty and oversized.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7412.  
  7413.  
  7414.  
  7415. &lt;p&gt;The mini dress is available not only in white, but green too and is priced at £20.&lt;/p&gt;

  7426. By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor &lt;/p&gt;
  7428. &lt;div&gt;
  7429. &lt;p&gt;AS someone who&amp;#8217;s no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it’s about time that celebrities started catching on too.&lt;/p&gt;
  7430. &lt;p&gt;For as long as I’ve been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those “I have nothing to wear” moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
  7431. &lt;p&gt;And I’m definitely not alone &amp;#8211; on any Friday or Saturday night, you’ll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.&lt;/p&gt;
  7432. &lt;p&gt;But no matter what, Primark always delivers.&lt;/p&gt;
  7433. &lt;p&gt;Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  7434. &lt;p&gt;While Rita’s not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she’s proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.&lt;/p&gt;
  7435. &lt;p&gt;Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham &amp;#8211; if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.&lt;/p&gt;
  7436. &lt;p&gt;With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I’m sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  7437. &lt;/div&gt;
  7438. &lt;/div&gt;

  7479. &lt;p&gt;LOVE Island fans have slammed Helena for her ‘cruel’ move amid tensions between Toni and Harrison, screaming ‘get her out.’ &lt;/p&gt;
  7480.  
  7481.  
  7482.  
  7483. &lt;p&gt;The drama unfolded in the garden when Harrison confessed to Toni that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35664171/love-island-toni-laites-and-harrison-solomon-split-tonight/&quot;&gt;he shared a kiss with Helena on the Terrace.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  7497.  
  7498.  
  7499. &lt;p&gt;He tells her: “I was just talking with Helena, we had a little chat and we had one kiss&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7516.  
  7517.  
  7518.  
  7519. &lt;p&gt;Toni is not best pleased by this revelation and has a few choice words for Harrison before she walks off, leaving Harrison to reflect on his choices.&lt;/p&gt;
  7520.  
  7521.  
  7522.  
  7523. &lt;p&gt;But as Toni and Harrison chatted, Helena and Meg watched on by the fire pit, with the girls appearing to snigger at times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7524.  
  7525.  
  7526.  
  7527. &lt;p&gt;Seeing Helena laughing has enraged fans, as one wrote on X: “Why do these girls always find Toni being upset funny?”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7528.  
  7529.  
  7530.  
  7531. &lt;p&gt;A second penned: “Helena is thriving off hurting another woman, stop laughing.” &lt;/p&gt;
  7532.  
  7533.  
  7534.  
  7535. &lt;p&gt;And a third penned: “Of course Helena is laughing, she absolutely thrives off this.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7536.  
  7537.  
  7538.  
  7539. &lt;p&gt;Another person said that Helena was “acting like a teenager.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7540.  
  7541.  
  7542.  
  7543. &lt;p&gt;Fans previously &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35639215/love-island-harrison-disgusting-liar-toni-helena/&quot;&gt;raged at Harrison&lt;/a&gt; for playing two girls off against each other and lying to Toni.&lt;/p&gt;
  7544.  
  7545.  
  7546.  
  7547. &lt;p&gt;In recent installments, Harrison and Helena had enjoyed some flirty banter, much to the annoyance of US star Toni.&lt;/p&gt;

  7576.

  7578.  
  7579. &lt;p&gt;After the recoupling, Harrison told Helena that he planned his speech for her but changed it last minute for Toni.&lt;/p&gt;

  7606. &lt;/div&gt;
  7608.  
  7609.  
  7610.  
  7611. &lt;p&gt;Harrison told her: &amp;#8220;I felt that finally we were going to couple up, I was so ready for it, I was so ready to &lt;span id=&quot;f86949ed-965a-44ab-8cb7-a2efab7f6798&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/span&gt; in a bed with you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7612.  
  7613.  
  7614.  
  7615. &lt;p&gt;Just moments later, Harrison admitted to Toni that his decision was &amp;#8220;50/50&amp;#8221;, despite him insisting to Helena that he was set to pick her.&lt;/p&gt;
  7616.  
  7617.  
  7618.  
  7619. &lt;p&gt;But it seems to be Helena that has angered fans in the love triangle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7620.  
  7621.  
  7622.  
  7623. &lt;p&gt;On X, people have demanded she’s booted out of the villa, with one person writing: “With the way Helena is behaving, she needs to go.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7624.  
  7625.  
  7626.  
  7627. &lt;p&gt;A second penned: “Helena just get off my screen already,” and a third penned: “Ugh, Helena needs to GO.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7658.  
  7659.  
  7660.  
  7661. &lt;p&gt;Lowe, real name Mihai Leu, was a Romanian &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/boxing/&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/a&gt; world champion who later forged a career as a rally driver. &lt;/p&gt;

  7670.  
  7671.  
  7672.  
  7673. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35672717&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/NINTCHDBPICT001007129296.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Red Ferrari 458 race car driving on city street.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35672717&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;He later became a rally car driver[/caption]
  7674.  
  7675.  
  7676.  
  7677. &lt;p&gt;Bild report Leu died in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/romania/&quot;&gt;Romania&lt;/a&gt; following a battle with cancer. &lt;/p&gt;
  7678.  
  7679.  
  7680.  
  7681. &lt;p&gt;He was unbeaten across 28 professional fights between 1991 and 1997, scoring 10 knockouts.&lt;/p&gt;
  7682.  
  7683.  
  7684.  
  7685. &lt;p&gt;And Leu&amp;#8217;s prowess saw him achieve world champion status.&lt;/p&gt;
  7686.  
  7687.  
  7688.  
  7689. &lt;p&gt;In February 1997, he defeated Santiago Samaniego to become the WBO welterweight world champion.&lt;/p&gt;
  7690.  
  7691.  
  7692.  
  7693. &lt;p&gt;He then successfully defended his crown in September of that year, defeating &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ireland/&quot;&gt;Ireland&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s Michael Carruth.&lt;/p&gt;
  7694.  
  7695.  
  7696.  
  7697. &lt;p&gt;However, he called it quits on his career and retired as one of only three undefeated European world champions at the time, after Jack McAuliffe and Terry Marsh.&lt;/p&gt;
  7698.  
  7699.  
  7700.  
  7701. &lt;p&gt;A hand injury suffered in his last fight forced him to abandon boxing altogether.&lt;/p&gt;
  7702.  
  7703.  
  7704.  
  7705. &lt;p&gt;But refusing to give up on sports entirely, he decided to switch careers to become a rally car driver full-time, having made his debut in 1994.&lt;/p&gt;
  7706.  
  7707.  
  7708.  
  7709. &lt;p&gt;And within three years of starting full-time in 1997, Leu was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/romania/&quot;&gt;Romania&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s rally vice-champion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  7710.  
  7711.  
  7712.  
  7713. &lt;p&gt;In 2003 he became his nation&amp;#8217;s national champion.&lt;/p&gt;
  7714.  
  7715.  
  7716.  
  7717. &lt;p&gt;He eventually gave up pro racing in 2008 but did return as a team manager in 2010.&lt;/p&gt;
  7718.  
  7719.  
  7720.  
  7721. &lt;p&gt;In 2014, he survived a fight with colon cancer following surgery in Bucharest and treatment in Vienna.&lt;/p&gt;
  7722.  
  7723.  
  7724.  
  7725. &lt;p&gt;He is survived by his loving wife, Anna, and son Marco.&lt;/p&gt;
  7726.  
  7727.  
  7728.  
  7729. &lt;p&gt;The President of Romania, Nicusor Dan, paid tribute on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  7730.  
  7731.  
  7732.  
  7733. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;I learned with deep sadness the &lt;span id=&quot;2bbfd546-a05b-4ce7-a9d0-2964e47cc556&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; of Mihai Leu&amp;#8217;s passing.&lt;/p&gt;
  7734.  
  7735.  
  7736.  
  7737. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Romania loses not only an exceptional champion with an impressive record in sports but also an honorable man who inspired through courage, passion, and integrity.&lt;/p&gt;
  7738.  
  7739.  
  7740.  
  7741. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His public presence was always synonymous with uprightness and respect for authentic values.&lt;/p&gt;
  7742.  
  7743.  
  7744.  
  7745. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He will remain in our memory as a true legend and a benchmark for what dignity means in sports and in life.&lt;/p&gt;
  7746.  
  7747.  
  7748.  
  7749. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I extend my sincere condolences to his family and all those close to him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7750.  
  7751.  
  7752.  
  7753. &lt;p&gt;Kickboxing Romania said: &amp;#8220;Rest In Peace, Mihai Leu!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7754.  
  7755.  
  7756.  
  7757. &lt;p&gt;The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania added: &amp;#8220;Romania has lost a tenacious athlete who will forever remain a legend of the ring. &lt;/p&gt;
  7758.  
  7759.  
  7760.  
  7761. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Mihai Leu, our first world champion in professional boxing, has passed away. Thank you for everything you gave to Romanian sports. Rest in peace, champion!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7808.  
  7809. &lt;p&gt;CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves broke down in tears at PMQs — minutes after admitting she was “under so much pressure”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7810.  
  7811.  
  7812.  
  7813. &lt;p&gt;In another meltdown day for Downing Street following the benefits vote fiasco, TV cameras showed her sobbing on the frontbench.&lt;/p&gt;
  7814.  
  7815.  
  7816.  
  7817. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35672270&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7f5cc80f-71dc-46f8-8718-9c1b05d29076.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer during Prime Minister's Questions.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35672270&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;716&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Weeping Ms Reeves wipes eyes during tense PMQs&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Pixel8000&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  7826.  
  7827.  
  7828.  
  7829. &lt;p&gt;Money markets took fright at the extraordinary scenes, forcing&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/keir-starmer/&quot;&gt; Sir Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; later to give Ms Reeves his full backing.&lt;/p&gt;
  7830.  
  7831.  
  7832.  
  7833. &lt;p&gt;No 10 denied the pair had rowed. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Chancellor &lt;/a&gt;was said to be upset about a personal matter.&lt;/p&gt;
  7834.  
  7835.  
  7836.  
  7837. &lt;p&gt;Her tears at PMQs plunged Labour into a fresh crisis — and sparked panic on the money markets.&lt;/p&gt;
  7838.  
  7839.  
  7840.  
  7841. &lt;p&gt;Speculation mounted about Reeves’s future when Starmer publicly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35662397/rachel-reeves-in-tears-in-commons/&quot;&gt;refused to guarantee her job.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7842.  
  7843.  
  7844.  
  7845. &lt;p&gt;She admitted feeling “under so much pressure” minutes before her outburst, dubbed “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35662397/rachel-reeves-in-tears-in-commons/&quot;&gt;waterworksgate&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7846.  
  7847.  
  7848.  
  7849. &lt;p&gt;It followed Tuesday’s&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35623372/keir-starmer-labour-rebels-more-welfare-concessions-hope/&quot;&gt; last-minute climbdown&lt;/a&gt; on cuts to personal independence payments (PIP) to fend off a Labour revolt and pass the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35623372/keir-starmer-labour-rebels-more-welfare-concessions-hope/&quot;&gt;flagship Welfare Bill.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7850.  
  7851.  
  7852.  
  7853. &lt;p&gt;Sources dismissed rumours Ms Reeves and Sir Keir had a bust-up before noon’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pmqs/&quot;&gt;PMQs&lt;/a&gt;, but claimed she’d had terse words with Speaker Sir &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lindsay-hoyle/&quot;&gt;Lindsay Hoyle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7854.  
  7855.  
  7856.  
  7857. &lt;p&gt;Ms Reeves’s spokesman insisted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35662397/rachel-reeves-in-tears-in-commons/&quot;&gt;her crying &lt;/a&gt;was down to personal reasons he “would not be getting into”. And allies denied she was on the brink of quitting.&lt;/p&gt;
  7858.  
  7859.  
  7860.  
  7861. &lt;p&gt;The Chancellor, 46, was comforted by sister Ellie, a Labour minister, but Sir Keir did not speak to her as she was led to her office next to the Commons chamber.&lt;/p&gt;
  7862.  
  7863.  
  7864.  
  7865. &lt;p&gt;No 10 had to delete a clip from Sir Keir’s X because it showed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Ms Reeves&lt;/a&gt; crying next to him, though it insisted the Chancellor was “going nowhere”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7866.  
  7867.  
  7868.  
  7869. &lt;p&gt;The PM and Ms Reeves were said to have spoken last night and were working “business as usual”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7870.  
  7871.  
  7872.  
  7873. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35668928/bond-markets-pound-dollar-rachel-reeves-city/&quot;&gt;Money markets earlier panicked&lt;/a&gt; at the prospect of a change of Chancellor and possible abandonment of her spending rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  7874.  
  7875.  
  7876.  
  7877. &lt;p&gt;UK ten-year borrowing costs surged to 4.6 per cent and the Pound fell by one per cent against the Dollar to less than $1.36.&lt;/p&gt;
  7878.  
  7879.  
  7880.  
  7881. &lt;p&gt;Tuesday’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35623372/keir-starmer-labour-rebels-more-welfare-concessions-hope/&quot;&gt;gutting of the welfare reforms&lt;/a&gt; left Ms Reeves needing to plug a bigger hole in public savings — either by spending cuts, tax rises or borrowing.&lt;/p&gt;

  7905. &lt;p&gt;Tory leader &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kemi-badenoch/&quot;&gt;Kemi Badenoch&lt;/a&gt; pounced at Prime Minister’s Questions — quizzing Sir Keir about whether Ms Reeves would remain in place.&lt;/p&gt;

  7910.  
  7911.  
  7912.  
  7913. &lt;p&gt;“Labour MPs are going on the record saying the Chancellor is toast. The reality is she’s a human shield for his (the PM’s) incompetence. Will she really be in post for the next election?”&lt;/p&gt;
  7914.  
  7915.  
  7916.  
  7917. &lt;p&gt;In response, the PM did not confirm Ms Reeves would remain in post until 2029.&lt;/p&gt;

  7931. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.12:&lt;/strong&gt; Kemi Badenoch twists the knife, asking the PM: “Will the Chancellor even be in post by the next election?”&lt;/p&gt;
  7932. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.13&lt;/strong&gt;: Sir Keir Starmer dodges the question, and Ms Reeves is seen shedding tears in the background.&lt;/p&gt;
  7933. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.45&lt;/strong&gt;: Downing Street insists the Chancellor is “going nowhere”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7934. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13.00:&lt;/strong&gt; A spokesperson says Ms Reeves was dealing with a “personal matter”.&lt;/p&gt;

  7939.

  7941.  
  7942. &lt;p&gt;He would only tell Ms Badenoch: “I have to say I’m always cheered when she asks me questions or responds to a statement because she always makes a complete mess of it and shows just how unserious and irrelevant they are.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7943.  
  7944.  
  7945.  
  7946. &lt;p&gt;Ms Reeves is said to have been given a ticking off by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lindsay-hoyle/&quot;&gt;Speaker&lt;/a&gt; on Tuesday for taking too long to answer questions, to which she snapped back.&lt;/p&gt;
  7947.  
  7948.  
  7949.  
  7950. &lt;p&gt;It is believed he again collared her before PMQs yesterday when she is understood to have welled up and confided to being “under so much pressure”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7951.  
  7952.  
  7953.  
  7954. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lindsay-hoyle/&quot;&gt;Sir Lindsay&lt;/a&gt; did not comment.&lt;/p&gt;

  7969.  
  7970.  
  7971. &lt;p&gt;In her first year in the job, Ms Reeves has faced fierce criticism over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34998328/winter-fuel-u-turn-weeks/&quot;&gt;winter fuel&lt;/a&gt;, welfare cuts, the National Insurance raid, sluggish growth, taxing farmers and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30592296/labour-freebies-scandal-harry-cole/&quot;&gt;taking freebies.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  7975. &lt;p&gt;Health Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wes-streeting/&quot;&gt;Wes Streeting&lt;/a&gt; defended her last night, calling her a “tough cookie”. He told The Sun: “We are not invincible and superhuman as politicians.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7976.  
  7977.  
  7978.  
  7979. &lt;p&gt;But senior Tory &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/robert-jenrick/&quot;&gt;Robert Jenrick&lt;/a&gt; said: “Rachel Reeves’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; Bill is dead, and so is her career.&lt;/p&gt;
  7980.  
  7981.  
  7982.  
  7983. &lt;p&gt;“She’s been humiliated by her backbenchers and been forced into her most embarrassing U-turn yet.&lt;/p&gt;
  7984.  
  7985.  
  7986.  
  7987. &lt;p&gt;“By her own metric she’s crashed the economy, lost the confidence of the markets and now, it seems, the confidence of the Prime Minister too. It’s time for Reeves to go.”&lt;/p&gt;

  8043.  
  8044. &lt;p&gt;TYSON FURY is plotting a dramatic comeback in 2026 &amp;#8211; after Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh teased a trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk.&lt;/p&gt;
  8045.  
  8046.  
  8047.  
  8048. &lt;p&gt;Fury abruptly announced his retirement from &lt;span id=&quot;da788450-6b83-4d2a-831f-5b0eb0851c89&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8211; for the fourth time &amp;#8211; in January just a month after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32444200/punch-stats-tyson-fury-oleksandr-usyk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;losing his rematch to Usyk&lt;/a&gt; in Saudi Arabia.&lt;/p&gt;

  8057.  
  8058.  
  8059.  
  8060. &lt;p&gt;It was only seven months earlier that he also lost his undefeated record and WBC belt in 12 classic rounds against Usyk in Riyadh.&lt;/p&gt;
  8061.  
  8062.  
  8063.  
  8064. &lt;p&gt;Disillusioned with the razor-tight pair of decision losses, the unpredictable Gypsy King took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32776801/tyson-fury-retires-boxing-anthony-joshua-fight/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;de5c3d85-c8d8-495d-9672-ce3681328a13&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/span&gt; to hang up his gloves&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8065.  
  8066.  
  8067.  
  8068. &lt;p&gt;And despite training up to &lt;strong&gt;THREE &lt;/strong&gt;times a day, Fury, 36, has so far appeared uninterested in a comeback even to fight &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/anthony-joshua/&quot;&gt;Anthony Joshua&lt;/a&gt;, 35.&lt;/p&gt;
  8069.  
  8070.  
  8071.  
  8072. &lt;p&gt;That was until arriving in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/turkey/&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt; for the IBA pro &lt;span id=&quot;fef842c0-4e4f-455a-8d50-2059be3ab8e8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/span&gt; tournament &amp;#8211; where he called out Usyk to a trilogy fight.&lt;/p&gt;
  8073.  
  8074.  
  8075.  
  8076. &lt;p&gt;And shortly after Alalshikh &amp;#8211; who delivered the mega-money two-fight series on Saudi soil &amp;#8211; appeared to confirm he had convinced Fury into yet another return.&lt;/p&gt;
  8077.  
  8078.  
  8079.  
  8080. &lt;p&gt;The Saudi &lt;span id=&quot;020036ea-2b01-454f-a70a-41f673a247b9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/span&gt; chief posted: &amp;#8220;The &amp;#8216;Gypsy King&amp;#8217; will be back!!!&lt;/p&gt;
  8081.  
  8082.  
  8083.  
  8084. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026&amp;#8230;We have a rabbit to hunt!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8085.  
  8086.  
  8087.  
  8088. &lt;p&gt;Usyk, 38, returns on July 19 at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wembley/&quot;&gt;Wembley&lt;/a&gt; in a rematch with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/daniel-dubois/&quot;&gt;Daniel Dubois&lt;/a&gt;, 27, following his 2023 stoppage win &amp;#8211; this time for the &lt;span id=&quot;ffcc0abe-8dc3-45d2-bbb4-092d79465b04&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;undisputed&lt;/span&gt; throne.&lt;/p&gt;

  8093.  
  8094.  
  8095.  
  8096. &lt;p&gt;And Fury &amp;#8211; who infamously &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20617947/tyson-fury-oleksandr-usyk-rabbit/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;referred to Usyk as &amp;#8220;the rabbit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; in 2022 &amp;#8211; is eyeing revenge against the Ukrainian in &lt;span id=&quot;c0067c44-b6d2-45af-98a7-87a884b461d1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8097.  
  8098.  
  8099.  
  8100. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;Dubois is very young and ambitious. Usyk is very experienced.&lt;/p&gt;

  8124. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But he&amp;#8217;s coming off two fights with me, which is debatable whether he won them or not, which he didn&amp;#8217;t, but he got the decision which is all that matters.&lt;/p&gt;
  8125.  
  8126.  
  8127.  
  8128. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If I was going to come back, I would come back for Usyk, but I want a fair result in &lt;span id=&quot;025091ed-3b7f-4c52-918d-fcfe96dbba43&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;England&lt;/span&gt;.

  8133.  
  8134.  
  8135.  
  8136. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I watched it literally 250 times and each way, I never see there&amp;#8217;s a way he won. But, they can do what they want.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8137.  
  8138.  
  8139.  
  8140. &lt;p&gt;Fury also revealed he got the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35669418/tyson-fury-out-retirement-wife-paris-anthony-joshua/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;green light from wife Paris&lt;/a&gt; to come out of retirement for the umpteenth time.&lt;/p&gt;

  8189.  
  8190. &lt;p&gt;TWO weeks ago I met Rachel Reeves at a party and she was warm, gentle and touchingly self-deprecating.&lt;/p&gt;
  8191.  
  8192.  
  8193.  
  8194. &lt;p&gt;She spoke about her kids with real motherly love, reminding me that behind the tone deaf political persona, she is a real human and above all, a decent human one.&lt;/p&gt;
  8195.

  8203.  
  8204.  
  8205.  
  8206. &lt;p&gt;The problem, though, is she has shown little to no warmth to the British people, her people.&lt;/p&gt;
  8207.  
  8208.  
  8209.  
  8210. &lt;p&gt;So &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35668928/bond-markets-pound-dollar-rachel-reeves-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;yesterday&amp;#8217;s tears, so incongruous&lt;/a&gt; in the showboating &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/house-of-commons/&quot;&gt;House of Commons&lt;/a&gt;, looked like crocodile ones &amp;#8211; or worse still, tears of self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;
  8211.  
  8212.  
  8213.  
  8214. &lt;p&gt;Across social media people are asking where, then, were her tears when she &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35326439/jack-elsom-reeves-winter-fuel-haunt-labour/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;was trying to withdraw&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/winter-fuel-payment/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;winter fuel payments&lt;/a&gt; from pensioners?&lt;/p&gt;
  8215.  
  8216.  
  8217.  
  8218. &lt;p&gt;Where were her tears for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31492965/famers-farm-tax-rachel-reeves-inheritance/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hard-working British farmers&lt;/a&gt; whose livelihoods she threatens to destroy?&lt;/p&gt;
  8219.  
  8220.  
  8221.  
  8222. &lt;p&gt;And where were her tears for the hundreds of thousands of workers whose &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt; are at risk thanks to insurmountable &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-insurance/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;NI hikes&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
  8223.  
  8224.  
  8225.  
  8226. &lt;p&gt;So many wheres, so few whys.&lt;/p&gt;
  8227.  
  8228.  
  8229.  
  8230. &lt;p&gt;In his treatise, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/politics/&quot;&gt;Politics&lt;/a&gt;, Aristotle insisted women were inferior to men on the basis they were &amp;#8220;more easily moved to tears, at the same time more jealous, more querulous, more apt to scold and to strike.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8231.  
  8232.  
  8233.  
  8234. &lt;p&gt;The Greek philosopher&amp;#8217;s observations began a lazy trope that would go on to be a mainstay of sexist &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/science/&quot;&gt;science&lt;/a&gt; for the next 2,375 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  8235.  
  8236.  
  8237.  
  8238. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, Rachel just confirmed every last one of those last, lingering suspicions.&lt;/p&gt;
  8239.  
  8240.  
  8241.  
  8242. &lt;p&gt;Whilst the gender pay gap shows no sign of abating, whilst women have to work doubly hard to prove their worth in the workplace, women in 2025 simply cannot afford to be emotional.&lt;/p&gt;

  8264.  
  8265.  
  8266. &lt;p&gt;That wobbling top lip, those two, plopping tears &amp;#8211; they have done no favours to the sisterhood.&lt;/p&gt;
  8267.  
  8268.  
  8269.  
  8270. &lt;p&gt;Of course, we don&amp;#8217;t know exactly why she cried &amp;#8211; her spokesman said it was a &amp;#8220;personal matter&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8271.  
  8272.  
  8273.  
  8274. &lt;p&gt;In which case, no one would have blamed her, then, had she sat this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pmqs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;PMQs&lt;/a&gt; out and dealt with whatever else might be going on behind the scenes.&lt;/p&gt;
  8275.  
  8276.  
  8277.  
  8278. &lt;p&gt;And on a human level, we all hope she is ok.&lt;/p&gt;
  8279.  
  8280.  
  8281.  
  8282. &lt;p&gt;This display of raw, unfiltered emotion is more empathy than we&amp;#8217;ve seen from her in the past 12 months &amp;#8211; a 12 months that appear to have aged the poor woman immeasurably. &lt;/p&gt;
  8283.

  8288. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  8289. &lt;p&gt;While she pledged to be an &amp;#8216;Iron Chancellor&amp;#8217;, this display is more Cryin’ Chancellor&lt;/p&gt;
  8290. &lt;/div&gt;
  8291. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  8292. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  8294.  
  8295.  
  8296.  
  8297. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rachel&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s unrelenting stint in Number 11 has left her looking shell-shocked, and knackered. Again, her appearance is something people on X are commenting on in a way that they probably wouldn&amp;#8217;t, a man. Yep, it really is quite s*** being a woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  8298.  
  8299.  
  8300.  
  8301. &lt;p&gt;If she is struggling with something, a family matter perhaps, away from toxic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/westminster/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Westminster&lt;/a&gt;, then watching her desperately trying to hold back the tears is heartbreaking. We have all been there, and never has she been more human, less autopilot politician.&lt;/p&gt;
  8302.  
  8303.  
  8304.  
  8305. &lt;p&gt;Few would be brave enough to swap places with her.&lt;/p&gt;
  8306.  
  8307.  
  8308.  
  8309. &lt;p&gt;Whatever your politics, the video doing the rounds, of her crying, is a tough watch. But while she pledged to be an &amp;#8216;Iron Chancellor&amp;#8217;, this display is more Cryin’ Chancellor.&lt;/p&gt;
  8310.  
  8311.  
  8312.  
  8313. &lt;p&gt;If I were her, I&amp;#8217;d want to cry too. But I wouldn&amp;#8217;t. Because I would save it for the Commons&amp;#8217; loos afterwards &amp;#8211; anywhere but on the hallowed green benches.&lt;/p&gt;
  8314.  
  8315.  
  8316.  
  8317. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, in an unjust world, one that judges us women so harshly, her tears seem like a sign of political weakness. Such a showing instils no-one with confidence and, sure enough, the pound tumbled yesterday, bond markets similarly in turmoil.&lt;/p&gt;
  8318.  
  8319.  
  8320.  
  8321. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;d be a monster to say I don&amp;#8217;t have sympathy for the poor woman. Of course I do. And, in a way, it&amp;#8217;s finally made her touchingly fallible.&lt;/p&gt;
  8322.  
  8323.  
  8324.  
  8325. &lt;p&gt;But, as a woman, I wish she could have just, well, kept a lid on it. Sure, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/margaret-thatcher/&quot;&gt;Margaret Thatcher&lt;/a&gt;, a woman harder than drywall nails, shed a tear as she left &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/downing-street/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;No10&lt;/a&gt; for the last time. And another former PM, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/theresa-may/&quot;&gt;Theresa May&lt;/a&gt;, did likewise upon announcing her resignation.&lt;/p&gt;
  8326.  
  8327.  
  8328.  
  8329. &lt;p&gt;But both were on the way out: Rachel remains in prime position as the most powerful woman in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  8330.  
  8331.  
  8332.  
  8333. &lt;p&gt;This display undermines all that.&lt;/p&gt;
  8334.  
  8335.  
  8336.  
  8337. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;It&amp;#8217;s ok to show emotion at work&lt;/h2&gt;
  8338.  
  8339.  
  8340.  
  8341. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Says Caroline Iggulden, Associate Editor, The Sun&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8342.  
  8343.  
  8344.  
  8345. &lt;p&gt;IT was pretty predictable from the minute chancellor Rachel Reeves&amp;#8217; eyes moistened that having a cry in the House of Commons would prompt a national outcry.&lt;/p&gt;
  8346.  
  8347.  
  8348.  
  8349. &lt;p&gt;Markets tumbled, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pound-sterling/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the pound&lt;/a&gt; plunged, the cost of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35505491/tax-money-rachel-reeves-economy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;borrowing shot up&lt;/a&gt; and Westminster watchers pronounced the Chancellor&amp;#8217;s goose well and truly cooked.&lt;/p&gt;

  8358.  
  8359.  
  8360.  
  8361. &lt;p&gt;But I was left thinking, is it really such an awful thing to show genuine human emotion at work?&lt;/p&gt;
  8362.  
  8363.  
  8364.  
  8365. &lt;p&gt;Up until now, Reeves has very much been presented to the electorate as a hardened economist, sharp suits and lots of very deliberate shots of her looking serious behind boardroom tables.&lt;/p&gt;
  8366.  
  8367.  
  8368.  
  8369. &lt;p&gt;Now she will probably be forever more known as the Tiny Tears Chancellor. But ironically, for me, only at the moment of her almost certain professional demise did I actually warm to the woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  8370.  
  8371.  
  8372.  
  8373. &lt;p&gt;I have no doubt Reeves will be feeling utterly mortified tonight that she cracked in the Commons.&lt;/p&gt;
  8374.  
  8375.  
  8376.  
  8377. &lt;p&gt;But let’s face it, we have all experienced that moment where you can feel your lip quivering and feel yourself starting to go, despite fighting it with every fibre of your being not to.&lt;/p&gt;
  8378.  
  8379.  
  8380.  
  8381. &lt;p&gt;Of course I know it isn’t a great look &amp;#8211; the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the most senior woman in the land bursting into tears during PMQs.&lt;/p&gt;
  8382.  
  8383.  
  8384.  
  8385. &lt;p&gt;It isn’t helpful for the sisterhood, or the stability of the country. But I can’t lie, my heart went out to her and I don’t believe I am alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  8386.  
  8387.  
  8388.  
  8389. &lt;p&gt;We have all been there, when you feel tired, stressed, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sleep/&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/a&gt; deprived and undermined by colleagues or your boss. And at the absolute worst moment you lose composure and just want the floor to swallow you up.&lt;/p&gt;
  8390.  
  8391.  
  8392.  
  8393. &lt;p&gt;As I watched the front bench scene unfold I couldn’t help but feel moved and very sorry for Rachel Reeves.&lt;/p&gt;
  8394.  
  8395.  
  8396.  
  8397. &lt;p&gt;She had suffered the humiliation of being thrown under the bus by a boss determined to save his own skin live &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TV&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8398.

  8403. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  8404. &lt;p&gt;Sir Keir Starmer is the PM — the buck stops with him and yesterday we watched him publicly lay all the blame at Reeves’ door by refusing to back her&lt;/p&gt;
  8405. &lt;/div&gt;

  8409.  
  8410.  
  8411.  
  8412. &lt;p&gt;Politicians are often accused of being robotic, insincere, unfeeling, and detached from the real world. But here writ large was an unvarnished moment of genuine despair and for me it was heartbreakingly human.&lt;/p&gt;
  8413.  
  8414.  
  8415.  
  8416. &lt;p&gt;Westminster is a notoriously tough and bruising world where a thick skin is a prerequisite for the job.&lt;/p&gt;
  8417.  
  8418.  
  8419.  
  8420. &lt;p&gt;But this can also lead to unfeeling policies made by people who never really have to cope with real world hardship or the day-to-day juggle of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bills/&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/a&gt; and logistics of family life.&lt;/p&gt;
  8421.

  8424. &lt;p&gt;I will never forget the story of the single mother who posted a letter through &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dominic-cummings/&quot;&gt;Dominic Cummings&lt;/a&gt; door during &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lockdown/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;lockdown &lt;/a&gt;pleading with the government to understand how punishing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/coronavirus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Covid&lt;/a&gt;-rules were on single parents. The rules around forming support bubbles were quickly introduced.&lt;/p&gt;
  8425.  
  8426.  
  8427.  
  8428. &lt;p&gt;Or I think of the parent of a special needs child despairing at the idea of rumoured plans by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Labour &lt;/a&gt;to scrap &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35176991/keir-starmer-cuts-sen-support-kids/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;EHCP &lt;/a&gt;plans.&lt;/p&gt;
  8429.  
  8430.  
  8431.  
  8432. &lt;p&gt;Make no mistake, almost straight out of the gate, Rachel Reeves has been the author of her downfall in so many ways.&lt;/p&gt;
  8433.  
  8434.  
  8435.  
  8436. &lt;p&gt;From the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35333034/rachel-reeves-apology-winter-fuel-payment-misery/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;winter fuel fiasco&lt;/a&gt; just weeks into the job to this latest humiliating capitulation on welfare.&lt;/p&gt;
  8437.  
  8438.  
  8439.  
  8440. &lt;p&gt;But Sir &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; is the PM, the buck stops with him and yesterday we watched him publicly lay all the blame at Reeves&amp;#8217; door by refusing to back her yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  8441.  
  8442.  
  8443.  
  8444. &lt;p&gt;Even Leader of the Opposition &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kemi-badenoch/&quot;&gt;Kemi Badenoch&lt;/a&gt; expressed pity for the beleaguered Chancellor.&lt;/p&gt;
  8445.  
  8446.  
  8447.  
  8448. &lt;p&gt;Who knows what slanging matches, dirty tricks and recriminations had been flying around behind closed doors that had led to that point. Not to mention family or personal stress which could lie behind Rachel’s breakdown.&lt;/p&gt;
  8449.  
  8450.  
  8451.  
  8452. &lt;p&gt;And the the market jitters triggered by the episode are also just as likely caused by the city’s nervousness and lack of confidence in a Prime Minister and government which seems to be unravelling before our very eyes.&lt;/p&gt;
  8453.  
  8454.  
  8455.  
  8456. &lt;p&gt;It is all just a crying shame.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  8490.  
  8491.  
  8492.  
  8493. &lt;p&gt;But what to snack on when watching? Seven million pizzas are expected to fly off the shelves during the tournament so if you are planning to tuck into a slice or two while watching, which low-cost dough is the worthy champion?&lt;/p&gt;
  8494.  
  8495.  
  8496.  
  8497. &lt;p&gt;To find out, we asked Italian celebrity chef – and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/womens-football/&quot;&gt;Lioness&lt;/a&gt; supporter – &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35263871/tested-aldo-zilli-cod-food-fish-money/&quot;&gt;Aldo Zilli&lt;/a&gt; to try a selection of pepperoni pizzas all costing less than a fiver.&lt;/p&gt;

  8510.  
  8511.  
  8512.  
  8513. &lt;p&gt;LOOKS more like a pancake. It is so thin, like it has been run over or perhaps like someone has sat on it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8514.  
  8515.  
  8516.  
  8517. &lt;p&gt;That is not my only issue with this skinny slice.&lt;/p&gt;
  8518.  
  8519.  
  8520.  
  8521. &lt;p&gt;The cheese is another negative, it has a very strange texture – it looks gooey and sticky. Not very appetising.&lt;/p&gt;
  8522.  
  8523.  
  8524.  
  8525. &lt;p&gt;The whole thing appears clammy and a bit sweaty. The ingredients state that it is a proper mozzarella, but it must not be a good example of the cheese as something isn’t right.&lt;/p&gt;
  8526.  
  8527.  
  8528.  
  8529. &lt;p&gt;It’s not all bad though. The pepperoni is impressive with a &lt;span id=&quot;e961cb0b-5fd6-4732-8d07-754f4a268aa0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; sheen and good smoked pork flavour with a decent amount of it too.&lt;/p&gt;
  8530.  
  8531.  
  8532.  
  8533. &lt;p&gt;Overall a nice meaty topping but a terrible base and cheese.&lt;/p&gt;

  8570.  
  8571.  
  8572.  
  8573. &lt;p&gt;SOMETHING about the dough is odd. It’s not overly thick but very dense and bready.&lt;/p&gt;
  8574.  
  8575.  
  8576.  
  8577. &lt;p&gt;I can actually peel back layers within the base, so it’s more like a piece of white sliced even though it’s meant to be stone baked.&lt;/p&gt;
  8578.  
  8579.  
  8580.  
  8581. &lt;p&gt;There is none of the nice puffy, charred textures you expect from a proper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35660265/morrisons-pizza-meal-deal/&quot;&gt;Italian style slice.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8582.  
  8583.  
  8584.  
  8585. &lt;p&gt;The tomato puree is fine and the mozzarella is OK for the price but it is burned around the edges because it is spread unevenly and the whole thing looks greasy.&lt;/p&gt;
  8586.  
  8587.  
  8588.  
  8589. &lt;p&gt;They’ve been mean with the pepperoni so it’s not great for sharing as you won’t get a fair share of toppings. Will soak up a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/beer/&quot;&gt;beer&lt;/a&gt; or two taste-wise, it’s not the best.&lt;/p&gt;

  8606.  
  8607.  
  8608.  
  8609. &lt;p&gt;IMPRESSIVE. It is hard to get that proper stonebaked taste in a dough cooked at home, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda/&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/a&gt; have given it a decent go.&lt;/p&gt;
  8610.  
  8611.  
  8612.  
  8613. &lt;p&gt;It looks about as authentic as you’ll get for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda/&quot;&gt;supermarket&lt;/a&gt; attempt and it tastes close too.&lt;/p&gt;
  8614.  
  8615.  
  8616.  
  8617. &lt;p&gt;There’s enough topping to be satisfying and everything is good quality.&lt;/p&gt;
  8618.  
  8619.  
  8620.  
  8621. &lt;p&gt;Nice bubbling from a decent mozzarella cheese that has been placed with care so it doesn’t spill over the edges.&lt;/p&gt;
  8622.  
  8623.  
  8624.  
  8625. &lt;p&gt;It looks and smells like a proper stonebaked pizza with charred patches and unlevelling in the crusts and has an enticing aroma.&lt;/p&gt;
  8626.  
  8627.  
  8628.  
  8629. &lt;p&gt;It is slightly soft and a bit dry but you don’t notice too much as the pepperoni is nice and oily. Great value.&lt;/p&gt;

  8649. &lt;p&gt;IF you want a pizza to share with friends, you will definitely need more than one of these.&lt;/p&gt;

  8652.  
  8653. &lt;p&gt;It’s so bare and mean. Where on Earth are the toppings? It looks like someone has forgotten to put them on the dough.&lt;/p&gt;
  8654.  
  8655.  
  8656.  
  8657. &lt;p&gt;In total there are nine pieces of pepperoni, which is stingy, and the tomato puree doesn’t taste very nice. It is bitter when it should provide a lovely juicy sweetness.&lt;/p&gt;
  8658.  
  8659.  
  8660.  
  8661. &lt;p&gt;The cheese is OK and the dough is average but, overall, this isn’t a great example of something that should be so simple and easy to do well.&lt;/p&gt;
  8662.  
  8663.  
  8664.

  8687.  
  8688.  
  8689. &lt;p&gt;A bit thicker in patches than some of the others but I don’t mind that as it has the right taste and feel when you eat it with the toppings, and it won’t leave you feeling stuffed.&lt;/p&gt;
  8690.  
  8691.

  8701. &lt;p&gt;The layer of tomato puree also should be sweeter. The base is good and so is the price, sadly the toppings are letting this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dominos-pizza/&quot;&gt;pizza&lt;/a&gt; down.&lt;/p&gt;

  8718.  
  8719.  
  8720.  
  8721. &lt;p&gt;A BIT hit and miss. There are generous amounts of meat and cheese topping but the pepperoni has burned around the edges.&lt;/p&gt;
  8722.  
  8723.  
  8724.  
  8725. &lt;p&gt;The dough isn’t unpleasant but texturally it’s more like a flatbread with toppings. So, really what you are eating, is like a giant cheese on toast.&lt;/p&gt;
  8726.  
  8727.  
  8728.  
  8729. &lt;p&gt;It’s large so there will be lots to share around which is good when watching footie but, appearance-wise, it doesn’t make my mouth water.&lt;/p&gt;
  8730.  
  8731.  
  8732.  
  8733. &lt;p&gt;Great price though and you do get plenty.&lt;/p&gt;
  8734.  
  8735.  
  8736.  
  8737. &lt;p&gt;It tastes OK so it will do the job of scoffing in front of the telly especially if you need to buy a few.&lt;/p&gt;
  8738.  
  8739.  
  8740.  
  8741. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RATING&lt;/strong&gt;: 3/5&lt;/p&gt;

  8754.  
  8755.  
  8756.  
  8757. &lt;p&gt;INTERESTING pizza with a mix of &lt;span id=&quot;94e7fcd0-b160-4e64-bc67-056abc830ae3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;mini&lt;/span&gt; and normal sized pepperoni slices on top. It appears generous, plus gives it a more meaty flavour which I approve of.&lt;/p&gt;
  8758.  
  8759.  
  8760.  
  8761. &lt;p&gt;Overall this is an excellent pizza for the price. It might not be as cheap as some but it was the largest stonebaked style and you get a lot more slices and so much pork which I think makes it good value.&lt;/p&gt;
  8762.  
  8763.  
  8764.  
  8765. &lt;p&gt;It has well made dough which is thin, crispy and done in the Italian style so it is nice, soft and fluffy with airy pockets. Not easy to achieve with a supermarket slice. They’ve also used very good cheese.&lt;/p&gt;
  8766.  
  8767.  
  8768.  
  8769. &lt;p&gt;A quality &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dominos-pizza/&quot;&gt;pizza&lt;/a&gt; made with Italian style ingredients. I’d happily eat this.&lt;/p&gt;
  8770.  
  8771.  
  8772.  
  8773. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RATING&lt;/strong&gt;: 4/5&lt;/p&gt;

  8786.  
  8787.  
  8788.  
  8789. &lt;p&gt;EVEN though I’m Italian, I don’t mind a proper deep pan base. A deep pan will always fill you up and if you want a more substantial slice this will certainly do the job.&lt;/p&gt;
  8790.  
  8791.  
  8792.  
  8793. &lt;p&gt;It tastes far better than it looks, even though I was surprised how good it is once cooked from &lt;span id=&quot;6e123bba-d42a-4911-a15d-640ec18a028d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;frozen&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8794.  
  8795.  
  8796.  
  8797. &lt;p&gt;They’ve used good mozzarella, amazing at this price, and been very generous as there’s two types of pepperoni.&lt;/p&gt;
  8798.  
  8799.  
  8800.  
  8801. &lt;p&gt;This is perfect for watching footie with mates – great to tear and share and delivers exactly what you want with some drinks, soft or boozy.&lt;/p&gt;
  8802.  
  8803.  
  8804.  
  8805. &lt;p&gt;Pillowy and tasty with oozy cheese and lots of pork. It’s a bargain too. A winner. This is the one I’d be heating up before I &lt;span id=&quot;128e6020-5732-4597-b1cf-ab1c89f2524a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;cheer&lt;/span&gt; on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/womens-football/&quot;&gt;Lionesses.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8872.  
  8873.  
  8874.  
  8875. &lt;p&gt;Socialist darling &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/angela-rayner/&quot;&gt;Angela Rayner&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; credited with forcing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; to duck the vital challenge of slashing Britain’s soaring &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; bill &amp;#8211; insists Labour is now “in a better place.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8876.  
  8877.  
  8878.  
  8879. &lt;p&gt;Hardly.&lt;/p&gt;
  8880.  
  8881.  
  8882.  
  8883. &lt;p&gt;In a warning of the new reality facing voters, the cover of Lefty bible the New Statesman screams: “Just Raise Tax!”&lt;/p&gt;
  8884.  
  8885.  
  8886.  
  8887. &lt;p&gt;And one Labour MP, hailing a 16 per cent increase in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/universal-credit/&quot;&gt;Universal Credit&lt;/a&gt; handouts, tweeted: “That’ll put &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; in people’s pockets.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8888.  
  8889.  
  8890.  
  8891. &lt;p&gt;Yes, but only by taxing people who worked hard to earn it so you can hand it over to those who don’t!&lt;/p&gt;
  8892.  
  8893.  
  8894.  
  8895. &lt;p&gt;Such is the new soft Left fantasy which suddenly holds such a grip on a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35654126/keir-starmer-rebels-welfare-bill-jack-elsom/&quot;&gt;weakened Prime Minister.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8896.  
  8897.  
  8898.  
  8899. &lt;p&gt;Inevitably, their overwhelming new demand is for a punishing wealth tax to soak the rich.&lt;/p&gt;
  8900.  
  8901.  
  8902.  
  8903. &lt;p&gt;The fact it never works &amp;#8211; nine of 12 countries which tried to impose one later scrapped it &amp;#8211; simply doesn’t compute with their rotten, class-obsessed, wishful thinking.&lt;/p&gt;
  8904.  
  8905.  
  8906.  
  8907. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/millionaires/&quot;&gt;Millionaires&lt;/a&gt; are already leaving Britain in droves believing Labour hates them for making money.&lt;/p&gt;
  8908.  
  8909.  
  8910.  
  8911. &lt;p&gt;Sky high taxes always kills growth which only a few months ago Starmer and his Chancellor insisted was their number one priority.&lt;/p&gt;

  8936.  
  8937.

  8950.  
  8951. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AFTER Labour’s abject&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35654126/keir-starmer-rebels-welfare-bill-jack-elsom/&quot;&gt; failure to curb welfare spending&lt;/a&gt;, what hope of them successfully delivering a massive overhaul of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8952.  
  8953.  
  8954.  
  8955. &lt;p&gt;The good &lt;span id=&quot;d56bcfa1-cf70-4b50-bf7b-c66966339189&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; is that &lt;span id=&quot;b943ec0c-18a6-486c-9cbc-1a6b4b8acb9e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Health&lt;/span&gt; Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wes-streeting/&quot;&gt;Wes Streeting&lt;/a&gt; is up for the fight.&lt;/p&gt;
  8956.  
  8957.  
  8958.  
  8959. &lt;p&gt;Fat jabs have given him a real chance of ending the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/obesity/&quot;&gt;obesity&lt;/a&gt; crisis &amp;#8211; and saving billions.&lt;/p&gt;
  8960.  
  8961.  
  8962.  
  8963. &lt;p&gt;Streeting’s main mission must be to ensure every penny of tax-payers money goes into patient care.&lt;/p&gt;
  8964.  
  8965.  
  8966.  
  8967. &lt;p&gt;That means &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/downing-street/&quot;&gt;Downing Street&lt;/a&gt; backing him in facing down ludicrous pay demands from the Marxist medics threatening &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strikes/&quot;&gt;strikes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8968.  
  8969.  
  8970.  
  8971. &lt;p&gt;But he also needs to resist easy Nanny State solutions to health issues which threaten to take over people’s lives or remove freedom and choice.&lt;/p&gt;
  8972.  
  8973.  
  8974.  
  8975. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instead, Wes should make fixing falling productivity in our bloated heath service his top priority.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9001.  
  9002. &lt;p&gt;WHEN Reform shocked the political establishment by sweeping to victory in a whole bunch of county council elections in May, it looked like change was on the way.&lt;/p&gt;
  9003.  
  9004.  
  9005.  
  9006. &lt;p&gt;Welcome change, frankly.&lt;/p&gt;
  9007.  
  9008.

  9011.  
  9012.  
  9013.  
  9014. &lt;p&gt;For too long our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/councils/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;councils &lt;/a&gt;have been squandering money. And virtue-signalling their support for a whole bunch of ­questionable causes.&lt;/p&gt;
  9015.  
  9016.  
  9017.  
  9018. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nigel-farage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nigel Farage&lt;/a&gt; and the new council ­leaders promised it was all going to be different. And in Kent and Durham and Lincolnshire and Warwickshire, Reform set out its plans.&lt;/p&gt;
  9019.  
  9020.  
  9021.  
  9022. &lt;p&gt;What it hadn’t banked on, though, was the opposition from within county hall.&lt;/p&gt;
  9023.  
  9024.  
  9025.  
  9026. &lt;p&gt;From the pampered, overpaid council officials, who seem prepared to do whatever they can to thwart its ambitions.&lt;/p&gt;
  9027.  
  9028.  
  9029.  
  9030. &lt;p&gt;And so when the young leader of ­Warwickshire County Council told the chief executive of the council to remove the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pride/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Pride &lt;/a&gt;flag from the top of the building, this is what Monica Fogarty replied: “I am afraid I will not be taking the action that you are requesting.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9031.  
  9032.  
  9033.  
  9034. &lt;p&gt;Incredible, isn’t it? The job of the chief executive is to ensure that the wishes of the leading group — and thus the ratepayers — are respected.&lt;/p&gt;
  9035.  
  9036.  
  9037.  
  9038. &lt;p&gt;Not to refuse point-blank a simple and very sensible order. Fogarty earns £200,000 a year. She is a puffed-up, ­arrogant and brain-dead insult to the people of Warwickshire. A smug, smirking hypocrite who should be sacked right now.&lt;/p&gt;
  9039.  
  9040.  
  9041.  
  9042. &lt;p&gt;A hypocrite because while she will claim to be beholden to democracy, she refuses to take action on anything with which she disagrees ­politically. &lt;/p&gt;
  9043.  
  9044.  
  9045.  
  9046. &lt;p&gt;She is a disgrace to local government.&lt;/p&gt;
  9047.  
  9048.  
  9049.  
  9050. &lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35305460/reform-uk-zia-yusuf-rejoin-party-quits-chairman/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Reform’s Zia Yusuf &lt;/a&gt;put it: “These people are drunk on their own power, and for decades have been totally unaccountable.&lt;/p&gt;

  9078. &lt;p&gt;“Until now — Reform elected officials are fighting back. Unlike the two old ­parties, Reform will fight for you.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9079.  
  9080.  
  9081.  
  9082. &lt;p&gt;Fogarty is part of the “kinder, gentler” Left — the people who despise democracy when it doesn’t go their way.&lt;/p&gt;
  9083.  
  9084.  
  9085.  
  9086. &lt;p&gt;And she is typical of so many of our public servants. All of them sucking like billy-o on the public tit.&lt;/p&gt;
  9087.  
  9088.  
  9089.  
  9090. &lt;p&gt;All of them are determined to enforce THEIR politics on the rest of us.&lt;/p&gt;
  9091.  
  9092.  
  9093.  
  9094. &lt;p&gt;Such as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; trusts up and down the country which are still refusing to abide by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35623246/starmer-orders-trans-toilets-new-rules-hospitals-universities/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the Supreme Court’s decision &lt;/a&gt;last year that for legal purposes there is a biological difference between men and women.&lt;/p&gt;
  9095.  
  9096.  
  9097.  
  9098. &lt;p&gt;For legal purposes and indeed all other purposes, I should add.&lt;/p&gt;
  9099.  
  9100.  
  9101.  
  9102. &lt;p&gt;But female nurses are still being forced to share their private spaces with blokes in skirts. It is outrageous that this brazen contempt for the law has not been punished.&lt;/p&gt;
  9103.  
  9104.  
  9105.  
  9106. &lt;p&gt;And then there are our civil servants. They’re probably quite happy right now, helping the Labour government destroy what little is left of our ­economy and bankrupting the country.&lt;/p&gt;

  9111.  
  9112.  
  9113.  
  9114. &lt;p&gt;Because they couldn’t wait to get rid of the Tories. They hindered them at every juncture. And conducted foul personal campaigns against the most radical and commendable ministers, such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/priti-patel/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Priti Patel.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9115.  
  9116.  
  9117.  
  9118. &lt;p&gt;The lesson is that we need a thorough overhaul of public sector working practices — and a judicious bit of weeding.&lt;/p&gt;
  9119.  
  9120.  
  9121.  
  9122. &lt;p&gt;Get rid of the superannuated numbskulls if they will not do the bidding of the freely elected MPs and councillors.&lt;/p&gt;

  9141. &lt;div&gt;
  9142. &lt;p&gt;CONGRATULATIONS to our record-breaking government.&lt;/p&gt;
  9143. &lt;p&gt;In the first six months of this year, 20,000 economic migrants have come here in small boats from France.&lt;/p&gt;
  9144. &lt;p&gt;Nobody has managed that number before. What a remarkable triumph.&lt;/p&gt;
  9145. &lt;p&gt;So hammering the gangs was about as much use as me hammering my John Thomas with a monkey wrench.&lt;/p&gt;
  9146. &lt;p&gt;And the French still stand idly by watching the migrants clamber into their boats.&lt;/p&gt;
  9147. &lt;p&gt;Just as on almost every other possible policy, Labour has failed abysmally.&lt;/p&gt;
  9148. &lt;p&gt;Still, with all the millionaires leaving the country, the population probably hasn’t increased that much&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

  9165.  
  9166.  
  9167.  
  9168. &lt;p&gt;Here’s my selection of likely candidates.&lt;/p&gt;
  9169.  
  9170.  
  9171.  
  9172. &lt;p&gt;Miriam Margolyes – the smug fat actress who is always screeching about &lt;span id=&quot;60459f0b-ee3e-43c5-ba0b-5cdbcb8e2b84&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Palestine&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9173.  
  9174.  
  9175.  
  9176. &lt;p&gt;Bob Vylan – the talented and tuneful &lt;span id=&quot;cc14d524-371d-4414-a67d-a428a0305cec&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;rappers&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9180. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/clare-balding/&quot;&gt;Clare Balding&lt;/a&gt; – well, she’s every- where else, so why not on our &lt;span id=&quot;fe41b856-d9a8-41f7-8ca7-06899020332c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
  9181.  
  9182.  
  9183.  
  9184. &lt;p&gt;Kehinde Andrews – the radical black lecturer at a former poly who is forever saying how awful white folks are.&lt;/p&gt;
  9185.  
  9186.  
  9187.  
  9188. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/warwick-davis/&quot;&gt;Warwick Davis&lt;/a&gt; – no dwarves are represented on any bank note at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;
  9189.

  9191.  
  9192. &lt;p&gt;And I like ol’ Warwick. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tenable/&quot;&gt;Tenable&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

  9204. &lt;p&gt;WHEN the BBC suits tell you that stopping the live feed of the odious Bob Vylan rappers was “not as simple as flicking a switch”, don’t believe them.&lt;/p&gt;
  9205. &lt;p&gt;It is EXACTLY as simple as flicking a switch. In that all they had to do was flick a switch.&lt;/p&gt;
  9206. &lt;p&gt;They had 400 people overseeing the coverage. Cameras on all the various stages. And rafts of presenters.&lt;/p&gt;
  9207. &lt;p&gt;It would have been the easiest thing in the world just to junk Bob Vylan and cut to the presenters talking the usual inanities to each other.&lt;/p&gt;

  9217.  
  9218.  
  9219. &lt;p&gt;IT is sometimes said that we live in a two-tier society. Some people get away with stuff, others do not. To tell you the truth, I don’t like the phrase.&lt;/p&gt;
  9220.  
  9221.  
  9222.  
  9223. &lt;p&gt;I sometimes think people only use it because “tier” rhymes with “Keir”, so they can say “Two-Tier Keir!”&lt;/p&gt;

  9228.  
  9229.  
  9230.  
  9231. &lt;p&gt;But is it true? Of course it is. Let me give you a minor example.&lt;/p&gt;
  9232.  
  9233.  
  9234.  
  9235. &lt;p&gt;An artist called Victoria Culf was seemingly banned from her own show in Watford, because a council employee said she had gender critical views (and then apparently lied that the &lt;span id=&quot;0d142800-786a-4b95-81ac-0dfabd8e5ca3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;police&lt;/span&gt; were investigating her).&lt;/p&gt;
  9236.  
  9237.  
  9238.  
  9239. &lt;p&gt;So because Ms Culf thinks that transitioning is dangerous for children, she doesn’t get to attend her own exhibition.&lt;/p&gt;
  9240.  
  9241.  
  9242.  
  9243. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the BBC and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glastonbury/&quot;&gt;Glastonbury&lt;/a&gt; are perfectly happy to put on stage left-wing acts who call for Jews to be killed.&lt;/p&gt;
  9244.  
  9245.  
  9246.  
  9247. &lt;p&gt;Or in the case of Kneecap, MPs to be killed. Two tier.&lt;/p&gt;
  9248.  
  9249.  
  9250.  
  9251. &lt;p&gt;Here’s another one. The BBC was delighted to run a fawning &lt;span id=&quot;7bbb96bf-c8aa-4180-933f-021704e4890c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/span&gt; about a woman who went to &lt;span id=&quot;dbe5b30a-f566-43af-80e9-351f49208bc0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/span&gt; for organising a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/just-stop-oil/&quot;&gt;Just Stop Oil&lt;/a&gt; protest. But it would not dream of taking the same approach to Lucy Connolly, banged up for saying nasty things about refugees. Two tier.&lt;/p&gt;
  9252.  
  9253.

  9255. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  9259. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9262. &lt;div&gt;
  9263. &lt;p&gt;I SEE Charli XCX is throwing her toys out of the pram. She’s been heavily criticised for a really bad performance at Glastonbury.&lt;/p&gt;
  9264. &lt;p&gt;She’s hit back saying it’s only the Boomers who think that.&lt;/p&gt;
  9265. &lt;p&gt;Nah, Charli.&lt;/p&gt;
  9266. &lt;p&gt;The problem is you are a talent-free zone.&lt;/p&gt;
  9267. &lt;p&gt;And that was the worst headline ­performance ever seen at the festival.&lt;/p&gt;
  9268. &lt;p&gt;But do continue being a spoiled brat, if you want.&lt;/p&gt;
  9269. &lt;/div&gt;
  9270. &lt;/div&gt;

  9280. &lt;p&gt;SO, who is going to pay for everything? Sir Keir Starmer’s pathetic climbdown to the rebels means the UK is heading for ­bankruptcy quicker than ever. &lt;/p&gt;
  9281.  
  9282.  
  9283.  
  9284. &lt;p&gt;We simply cannot afford our rapidly increasing &lt;span id=&quot;0a41d523-9778-48f6-a645-49d25f57f825&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;6cb22217-ad46-4d57-9d6e-9077e873dfbe&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/span&gt;.

  9288. &lt;p&gt;Shoving more taxes on the rich will LOSE more money than it brings in. Because rich people are already deserting the country like fleas ­hopping off a dead dog.&lt;/p&gt;

  9292. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kemi-badenoch/&quot;&gt;Kemi Badenoch&lt;/a&gt; is right. What was once a safety net has become a trap.&lt;/p&gt;

  9308. &lt;p&gt;OUR environmentally obsessed King has decided to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/35637977/king-charles-royal-train-axed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;scrap the Royal Train.&lt;/a&gt; And switch to a helicopter instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  9309. &lt;p&gt;I think this is a stupid decision. But as Chazza says, he’s done it to save money.&lt;/p&gt;
  9310. &lt;p&gt;That’s the problem with saving the environment – it costs money.&lt;/p&gt;
  9311. &lt;p&gt;So here’s a suggestion.&lt;/p&gt;
  9312. &lt;p&gt;Maybe scrap the Royal Train, sure. But why not get on an ordinary train?&lt;/p&gt;
  9313. &lt;p&gt;You can go first class if you like.&lt;/p&gt;
  9314. &lt;/div&gt;

  9371. &lt;p&gt;The Sun revealed in May he had been suspended and banned from resigning while a probe ran its course.&lt;/p&gt;
  9372.  
  9373.  
  9374.  
  9375. &lt;p&gt;The married dad of three had vowed to stamp out “intolerable behaviour” in the Navy, regardless of rank.&lt;/p&gt;
  9376.  
  9377.  
  9378.  
  9379. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ministry-of-defence/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;MoD&lt;/a&gt; said: “Following a full investigation, Admiral Sir Ben Key’s behaviour has been found to have fallen far short of values and standards expected. This has resulted in termination of service and his commission.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9380.  
  9381.  
  9382.  
  9383. &lt;p&gt;Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/army/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Armed Forces&lt;/a&gt;, said: “We investigate all allegations of inappropriate behaviour and will take robust action against anyone found to have fallen short.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9384.  
  9385.  
  9386.  
  9387. &lt;p&gt;Sir Ben could now be stripped of his knighthood and CBE. &lt;/p&gt;

  9392.  
  9393.  
  9394.  
  9395. &lt;p&gt;He did not face court martial as the affair was not a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;criminal&lt;/a&gt; offence.&lt;/p&gt;
  9396.  
  9397.  
  9398.  
  9399. &lt;p&gt;He was accused of breaking Navy rules which ban sexual relationships between commanders and lower ranks. &lt;/p&gt;
  9400.  
  9401.  
  9402.  
  9403. &lt;p&gt;The Armed Forces are also barred from actions which risk or wreck comrades’ marriages.&lt;/p&gt;

  9431. &lt;p&gt;Sir Ben, who had a stellar 41-year Navy career, said: “I deeply regret my conduct in spring last year, which fell well below the standard I set for myself and that which I set for the Royal Navy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9432.  
  9433.  
  9434.

  9452. &lt;p&gt;A NAVY commander swerved jail after head-butting a Marine Sergeant Major at a nuclear base.&lt;/p&gt;
  9453. &lt;p&gt;Lt Cdr Gary Fletcher, 34, behaved like a “taproom bruiser” when brawling with Hamish Robb after a boxing event at HMNB Clyde, known as Faslane.&lt;/p&gt;
  9454. &lt;p&gt;The military court at Catterick, North Yorks, heard the pair thrashed around on the floor as RSM Robb tried to restrain the “agitated” senior officer.&lt;/p&gt;
  9455. &lt;p&gt;Fletcher had been boozing to cope with a break-up, it was said.&lt;/p&gt;
  9456. &lt;p&gt;He admitted battery and behaviour likely to discredit His Majesty’s forces.&lt;/p&gt;
  9457. &lt;p&gt;He was sentenced to two years loss of seniority, his salary docked, and promotion banned.&lt;/p&gt;

  9532. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/home-office/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Home Office&lt;/a&gt; officials confirmed to The Sun it was a “misuse” of asylum accommodation — whose&amp;nbsp;owners&amp;nbsp;have been paid millions to house migrants.&lt;/p&gt;
  9533.  
  9534.  
  9535.  
  9536. &lt;p&gt;An &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt; was last night under way to assess if the pop-up kitchen at the Cedar &lt;span id=&quot;6695168b-cbdf-40c0-a834-8f9d614afdc9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/span&gt; Hotel in Wakefield, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/west-yorkshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;West Yorks&lt;/a&gt;, was illegal under the terms of a contract signed between the Government and bosses of EC4 Hotel Ltd, the firm behind the accommodation.&lt;/p&gt;
  9537.  
  9538.  
  9539.  
  9540. &lt;p&gt;The probe will establish if EC4 broke the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; by sub-letting the kitchen in recent months to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fast-food/&quot;&gt;fast food&lt;/a&gt; businesses Big Boi Burgers and Absurd Stacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  9541.  
  9542.  
  9543.  
  9544. &lt;p&gt;Wakefield Council, which gave the businesses a licence to operate, also launched an investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  9545.  
  9546.  
  9547.  
  9548. &lt;p&gt;EC4, which has three other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hotels/&quot;&gt;hotels&lt;/a&gt;, is run by Monaco-based Nadja Kovic Nassar, 66, and had a turnover of nearly £18million in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  9549.  
  9550.  
  9551.  
  9552. &lt;p&gt;The Home Office spends £5million a day on contracts with Clearsprings, Mears Group and Serco to provide asylum accommodation.&lt;/p&gt;
  9553.  
  9554.  
  9555.  
  9556. &lt;p&gt;Minister for Border Security and Asylum, Dame &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/angela-eagle/&quot;&gt;Angela Eagle&lt;/a&gt;, admitted last month that the controls the Government has over the contracts and their subcontractors were “quite weak”.&lt;/p&gt;

  9560. &lt;p&gt;The Cedar Court hotel is part of the deal with Mears Group — which is set to receive &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35353608/reeves-100-m-migrant-drone-crackdown/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;£2.5billion of taxpayers’&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; over ten years, from 2019 to 2029.&lt;/p&gt;
  9561.  
  9562.  
  9563.  
  9564. &lt;p&gt;The row broke out after two men filmed themselves walking into the Cedar Court kitchen to show it was being used to cook meals for fast food customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9565.  
  9566.  
  9567.  
  9568. &lt;p&gt;Footage showed a sign on the door of the premises, which is closed to the public, which stated: “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uber-eats/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Uber Eats&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/deliveroo/&quot;&gt;Deliveroo&lt;/a&gt; Collection Point”.&lt;/p&gt;

  9592. &lt;p&gt;Security officials swiftly moved the two men&amp;nbsp;off the premises and called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; to the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  9593.  
  9594.  
  9595.  
  9596. &lt;p&gt;In 2023 the Home Office announced plans to increase the number of asylum seeker spaces at Cedar Court from 148 to 306. Last night the hotel was on lockdown with security guarding the entrance — telling visitors it was private property.&lt;/p&gt;
  9597.  
  9598.  
  9599.  
  9600. &lt;p&gt;A number of migrants were seen in the grounds seeking shade beneath a gazebo at the rear. A small five-a-side &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; goal was set up on the grass nearby.&lt;/p&gt;
  9601.  
  9602.  
  9603.  
  9604. &lt;p&gt;One staff member arriving for work refused to comment but said the hotel was closed and had been for five years to accommodate the migrants.&lt;/p&gt;
  9605.  
  9606.  
  9607.  
  9608. &lt;p&gt;A distraught neighbour said: “There are comings and goings at all times of the day. Most of them staying here are working. They go to the bus stop and get picked up from the lay-by early in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  9609.  
  9610.  
  9611.  
  9612. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve no idea what they’re doing but they are working. They’re all on bikes, coming and going.&lt;/p&gt;
  9613.  
  9614.  
  9615.  
  9616. &lt;p&gt;“I can’t tell you how distressing it is. They hang around in large groups and I’m scared to go out.&lt;/p&gt;
  9617.  
  9618.  
  9619.  
  9620. &lt;p&gt;“I was shocked to see the Deliveroo sign at the back but not surprised.&lt;/p&gt;

  9625.  
  9626.  
  9627.  
  9628. &lt;p&gt;“The Government is putting these people in small rural residential areas without a care for the people who&amp;nbsp;actually&amp;nbsp;live here.&lt;/p&gt;
  9629.  
  9630.  
  9631.  
  9632. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve spoken to the police repeatedly but they’re just not interested.&amp;nbsp;We’re scared to speak up because we fear reprisals.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9633.  
  9634.  
  9635.  
  9636. &lt;p&gt;In May a report said three firms who turned their hotels into migrant hubs — Clearsprings, Mears and Serco — had made combined profits of £383million since 2019 after the expected costs of housing asylum seekers tripled.&lt;/p&gt;
  9637.  
  9638.  
  9639.  
  9640. &lt;p&gt;Appearing before a parliamentary committee, Clearsprings and Mears said they would pay&amp;nbsp;some&amp;nbsp;money back. &lt;/p&gt;
  9641.  
  9642.  
  9643.  
  9644. &lt;p&gt;Serco said it had not made enough profit to do so.&lt;/p&gt;

  9661. &lt;p&gt;When the taxpayer-funded contracts were signed in 2019, the vast majority of migrants were housed in accommodation within communities. &lt;/p&gt;
  9662.  
  9663.  
  9664.  
  9665. &lt;p&gt;Around a third are now housed in hotels, which come at a far greater expense to the public finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  9666.  
  9667.  
  9668.  
  9669. &lt;p&gt;The Home Office last night confirmed that the takeaway kitchen operating in the Cedar Court Hotel was “immediately” closed.&lt;/p&gt;
  9670.  
  9671.  
  9672.  
  9673. &lt;p&gt;A Home Office spokesman told The Sun: “This activity is wholly unacceptable.&lt;/p&gt;
  9674.  
  9675.  
  9676.  
  9677. &lt;p&gt;“Immediate action has been taken to ensure the service is no longer operating at the site and we are in close contact with the provider.&lt;/p&gt;

  9683.  
  9684.  
  9685. &lt;p&gt;“They have said residents at the hotel were not involved. &lt;/p&gt;
  9686.  
  9687.  
  9688.  
  9689. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We take all allegations of misuse of asylum accommodation and the safety of residents extremely seriously. We will now be investigating.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9690.  
  9691.  
  9692.  
  9693. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week the government called in bosses of Deliveroo, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uber/&quot;&gt;Uber&lt;/a&gt; Eats and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/just-eat/&quot;&gt;Just Eat&lt;/a&gt; to demand urgent action to prevent immigration- offending on their platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
  9694.  
  9695.  
  9696.  
  9697. &lt;p&gt;The move&amp;nbsp;came after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35621515/illegal-channel-migrant-just-eat-rent-account/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun revealed how asylum seekers&lt;/a&gt; were suspected of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35637997/illegal-migrants-delivery-riders-arrested-cops/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;earning from Just Eat and ­Deliveroo takeaway drops&lt;/a&gt; while claiming taxpayer handouts.&lt;/p&gt;
  9698.  
  9699.  
  9700.  
  9701. &lt;p&gt;The delivery firms agreed to increase the use of facial verification checks and fraud detection &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/technology/&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/a&gt; to help ensure only registered account holders can work&amp;nbsp;using their online&amp;nbsp;platforms.&lt;/p&gt;

  9719.  
  9720.

  9722. &lt;p&gt;More than 20 cops in stab vests scrambled from unmarked cars to pounce on migrants returning from&amp;nbsp;work&amp;nbsp;shifts.&lt;/p&gt;
  9723.  
  9724.  
  9725.  
  9726. &lt;p&gt;Officers confronted at least ten men, two seen with ­delivery- branded food bags on bikes.&amp;nbsp;The Sun approached Cedar Court Hotels, Mears Group and Wakefield Council for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  9727.  
  9728.  
  9729.  
  9730. &lt;p&gt;Last night fast food firms Big Boi Burgers and Absurd Stacks had been shut down.&lt;/p&gt;
  9731.  
  9732.  
  9733.  
  9734. &lt;p&gt;A Deliveroo spokesman told The Sun: “Virtual brands like Absurd Stacks are fully registered food businesses, offering a delivery-only restaurant service.&lt;/p&gt;
  9735.  
  9736.  
  9737.  
  9738. &lt;p&gt;“After being made aware of the potential relationship between the hotel group running the virtual brand and the Home Office, we suspended them from our platform while we investigate further.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9739.  
  9740.  
  9741.  
  9742. &lt;p&gt;An Uber Eats spokesman said: “We have suspended this ­restaurant’s access to our platform and are fully investigating.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9782.  
  9783. &lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: MY wife betrayed me by having an affair and now she is taking me to the cleaners. I don’t recognise the woman she’s become.&lt;/p&gt;
  9784.  
  9785.  
  9786.  
  9787. &lt;p&gt;She has turned so cruel and cold. Now I’m set to lose everything — my home, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; and my kids — while she lives the life of Riley. I don’t know where to turn.&lt;/p&gt;
  9788.  
  9789.  
  9790.  
  9791. &lt;p&gt;I’m 42 and she’s 40. We’ve been married for 15 years and have three children, aged between eight and 12.&lt;/p&gt;
  9792.  
  9793.  
  9794.  
  9795. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, I discovered she’d been seeing a man she met online.&lt;/p&gt;
  9796.  
  9797.  
  9798.  
  9799. &lt;p&gt;They were sneaking around, having sex, while I was at work or looking after our children.&lt;/p&gt;
  9800.  
  9801.  
  9802.  
  9803. &lt;p&gt;I was devastated, but told her I’d forgive her. I didn’t want to break my family apart.&lt;/p&gt;
  9804.  
  9805.  
  9806.  
  9807. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/js.php/dear_deidre_problem_feb&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  9808.  
  9809.  
  9810.  
  9811. &lt;p&gt;But she wasn’t having it, and asked me to leave &lt;span id=&quot;9b24f12b-274d-4cb4-8760-9db22866a956&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;our house&lt;/span&gt;. “The kids need their mum,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  9812.  
  9813.  
  9814.  
  9815. &lt;p&gt;I’ve had to carry on paying half the mortgage, as well as rent for my own flat — and for all the loans we had taken out together. I’m left with barely enough money to buy food for myself each month.&lt;/p&gt;
  9816.  
  9817.  
  9818.  
  9819. &lt;p&gt;To add insult to injury, a few weeks after I was forced out, she moved her boyfriend in.&lt;/p&gt;
  9820.  
  9821.  
  9822.  
  9823. &lt;p&gt;I don’t know what to do. I can’t stop paying, as I need to support my kids. She says she’ll stop me seeing them if I don’t pay my share. And if I get into debt it will ruin my credit rating too.&lt;/p&gt;
  9824.  
  9825.  
  9826.  
  9827. &lt;p&gt;Although I have spoken to a solicitor, I can’t afford legal fees, and going to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; will take a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  9828.  
  9829.  
  9830.  
  9831. &lt;p&gt;I feel totally destroyed. All I ever did was love her and my kids. How can she get away with this?&lt;/p&gt;

  9868.  
  9869. &lt;p&gt;She has treated you appallingly but you are doing well to keep your relationship with your children a priority. In the long term, they will thank you for that.&lt;/p&gt;

  9909.  
  9910.  
  9911.  
  9912. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE:&lt;/strong&gt; I FEAR my best friend is heading for an early grave due to his unhealthy lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;
  9913.  
  9914.  
  9915.  
  9916. &lt;p&gt;Worryingly, however many times I tell him he needs to change, he says he’s fine. What can I do?&lt;/p&gt;
  9917.  
  9918.  
  9919.  
  9920. &lt;p&gt;My friend and I are both approaching 60. We met 30 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  9921.  
  9922.  
  9923.  
  9924. &lt;p&gt;He was a fit, handsome guy then. But now he’s overweight, drinks too much and doesn’t get enough &lt;span id=&quot;522041c5-094a-4f3c-b226-ce08f462a1b6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9925.  
  9926.  
  9927.  
  9928. &lt;p&gt;He still smokes and he lives on microwave meals and takeaways.&lt;/p&gt;
  9929.  
  9930.  
  9931.  
  9932. &lt;p&gt;His &lt;span id=&quot;e9553d5d-3b7b-4be0-8d69-170166a7c781&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;beer&lt;/span&gt; gut is so big, it’s hard to hug him. I worry that he’s a heart attack waiting to happen.&lt;/p&gt;
  9933.  
  9934.  
  9935.  
  9936. &lt;p&gt;When I talk to him about it he gets annoyed and says I shouldn’t try to change him.&lt;/p&gt;
  9937.  
  9938.  
  9939.  
  9940. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes, I wonder if he’s a bit lonely and depressed. He’s been single since his divorce.&lt;/p&gt;
  9941.  
  9942.  
  9943.  
  9944. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Your best friend is an adult and, sadly, you can’t make him change his ways.&lt;/p&gt;
  9945.  
  9946.  
  9947.  
  9948. &lt;p&gt;All you can do is show him you’re worried about him, and truly care.&lt;/p&gt;
  9949.  
  9950.  
  9951.  
  9952. &lt;p&gt;It sounds like he’s in denial. Rather than nagging him, take practical measures to support him. Invite him round for healthy food and offer to help him give up &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/smoking/&quot;&gt;smoking&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9953.  
  9954.  
  9955.  
  9956. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps ask him to join you at the gym or a walking club so you get fit together.&lt;/p&gt;
  9957.  
  9958.  
  9959.  
  9960. &lt;p&gt;If you think he may be depressed, encourage him to see his doctor. My support pack, Help For Your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/depression/&quot;&gt;Depression&lt;/a&gt;, might also be useful.&lt;/p&gt;
  9961.  
  9962.  
  9963.  
  9964. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  9965. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  9966. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;SEX WITH HUBBY IS PAINFUL AND DULL&lt;/h3&gt;
  9967. &lt;/div&gt;
  9968. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9971. &lt;div&gt;
  9972. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: &lt;/strong&gt;SEX with my husband now feels like just another unpleasant chore, along with the housework or my tax return. So, I’ve told him I won’t be doing it any more.&lt;/p&gt;
  9973. &lt;p&gt;I feel guilty but I don’t see why I should have to endure something I don’t enjoy, just to make him happy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9974. &lt;p&gt;We’re in our late forties and have been married for 20 years. We used to have a healthy sex life, but since perimenopause kicked in for me, it’s been downright painful.&lt;/p&gt;
  9975. &lt;p&gt;My husband still wants to have sex at least once a week and says it’s important for us to be intimate. But I just don’t feel any emotional connection.&lt;/p&gt;
  9976. &lt;p&gt;Sex is purely a physical act, for his pleasure – an obligation. But this issue is starting to affect our marriage. What should I do?&lt;/p&gt;
  9977. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Sex shouldn’t be painful and it shouldn’t feel like a chore.&lt;/p&gt;
  9978. &lt;p&gt;You need to work together to find a compromise, which may also help to bring you closer.&lt;/p&gt;
  9979. &lt;p&gt;See your GP about menopause treatments, which should make sex more comfortable, and increase your libido.&lt;/p&gt;
  9980. &lt;p&gt;Work together to find out what feels good. But the onus shouldn’t be on you to solve this. He needs to respect your feelings too.&lt;/p&gt;
  9981. &lt;p&gt;Take intercourse off the table while you focus on affection – kissing, cuddling and massaging each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  9982. &lt;p&gt;Think about having couples counselling.&lt;/p&gt;
  9983. &lt;p&gt;My support packs, Reviving A Woman’s Sex Drive, and Menopause Problems, should help.&lt;/p&gt;
  9984. &lt;/div&gt;
  9985. &lt;/div&gt;
  9986. &lt;/div&gt;
  9988.  
  9989.  
  9990.  
  9991. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;HIS MOODINESS UNDERMINES ME&lt;/h2&gt;
  9992.  
  9993.  
  9994.  
  9995. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE:&lt;/strong&gt; WHENEVER I try to be intimate with my boyfriend, he pushes me away.&lt;/p&gt;
  9996.  
  9997.  
  9998.  
  9999. &lt;p&gt;But the &lt;span id=&quot;d534e1fc-73ea-4594-8fdd-dbe782e8caf8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; minute, he’s all over me, telling me how much he loves me and talking about plans for the &lt;span id=&quot;571091e2-b3b9-4dcf-8cfe-cef3f8e42331&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;. I’m so confused and barely know whether I’m coming or going.&lt;/p&gt;
  10000.  
  10001.  
  10002.  
  10003. &lt;p&gt;We’ve been seeing each other for two years and are both in our early thirties.&lt;/p&gt;
  10004.  
  10005.  
  10006.  
  10007. &lt;p&gt;At the start, he was the perfect boyfriend – always complimenting me and wanting to &lt;span id=&quot;9176f160-356b-4730-ab5f-d91302b7142e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;take me out&lt;/span&gt; and show me off.&lt;/p&gt;
  10008.  
  10009.  
  10010.  
  10011. &lt;p&gt;The sex was amazing, it really felt like he couldn’t get enough of me.&lt;/p&gt;
  10012.  
  10013.  
  10014.  
  10015. &lt;p&gt;Things started going awry when I moved in with him. He started causing arguments about nothing.&lt;/p&gt;
  10016.  
  10017.  
  10018.  
  10019. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes, he’ll tell me he wasn’t sure about us, and perhaps I should move out.&lt;/p&gt;
  10020.  
  10021.  
  10022.  
  10023. &lt;p&gt;The next day, he’ll be full of apologies.&lt;/p&gt;
  10024.  
  10025.  
  10026.  
  10027. &lt;p&gt;He also seems to have gone off sex, except when he wants it. If I come on to him, he rejects me.&lt;/p&gt;
  10028.  
  10029.  
  10030.  
  10031. &lt;p&gt;I’m left feeling like I’m walking on eggshells all the time. Whatever I do or say seems to be wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  10032.  
  10033.  
  10034.  
  10035. &lt;p&gt;I feel so insecure and can’t understand what he wants from me. But I don’t want to leave him and start all over again. I really thought he was the one.&lt;/p&gt;
  10036.  
  10037.  
  10038.  
  10039. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; He may not intend to hurt you, but his behaviour is emotionally abusive.&lt;/p&gt;
  10040.  
  10041.  
  10042.  
  10043. &lt;p&gt;He’s made you feel you can no longer be yourself or express what you want. You’re dancing to his tune, according to his moods.&lt;/p&gt;
  10044.  
  10045.  
  10046.  
  10047. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps he doesn’t know what he wants. But if that’s the case, you both need to talk to improve the relationship, or mutually decide to split.&lt;/p&gt;
  10048.  
  10049.  
  10050.  
  10051. &lt;p&gt;Read my support pack, Looking After Your Relationship, and ask him to be honest with you. If nothing changes, it might be best to walk away.&lt;/p&gt;
  10052.  
  10053.  
  10054.  
  10055. &lt;p&gt;Starting again won’t be easy but you deserve better than to let a man control and diminish you.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10073. <content:encoded>&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-tnl-wp-lead-asset-lead-asset&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  10074.  
  10075.  
  10076.  
  10077.  
  10078.  
  10079.  
  10080.  
  10081.  
  10082.  
  10083. &lt;p&gt;SPLASHING out on new furniture can cost an arm and a leg.&lt;/p&gt;
  10084.  
  10085.  
  10086.  
  10087. &lt;p&gt;But with a little elbow grease you can give an old piece a new lease of life for a lot less.&lt;/p&gt;
  10088.  
  10089.  
  10090.  
  10091. &lt;p&gt;Here’s what to try . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  10092.  
  10093.  
  10094.  
  10095. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PAPER OVER: &lt;/strong&gt;You can give your furniture a new and unique character with wallpaper.&lt;/p&gt;
  10096.  
  10097.  
  10098.  
  10099. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dunelm/&quot;&gt;Dunelm&lt;/a&gt; has a wide range of styles from £12 a roll.&lt;/p&gt;
  10100.  
  10101.  
  10102.  
  10103. &lt;p&gt;You can order a free swatch of the designs online, each A4 sized.&lt;/p&gt;
  10104.  
  10105.  
  10106.  
  10107. &lt;p&gt;Or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wilko/&quot;&gt;Wilko&lt;/a&gt; has rolls for around £9.50 a roll, again with lots of different patterns to choose from.&lt;/p&gt;
  10108.  
  10109.  
  10110.  
  10111. &lt;p&gt;You can use the paper to bring an old set of drawers to life. Remove and paper the drawers individually, then paint the rest of the frame in a complementary colour.&lt;/p&gt;
  10112.  
  10113.  
  10114.  
  10115. &lt;p&gt;Finish with some new drawer knobs. Wilko has packs from around £5.&lt;/p&gt;
  10116.  
  10117.  
  10118.  
  10119. &lt;p&gt;You could also try a similar method with an old cabinet or sideboard.&lt;/p&gt;
  10120.  
  10121.  
  10122.  
  10123. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STEP TO IT:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have an old wooden step ladder, it is perfect for transforming into shelves or a hanger at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  10124.  
  10125.  
  10126.  
  10127. &lt;p&gt;Just sand down to get rid of any existing varnish or paint.&lt;/p&gt;
  10128.  
  10129.  
  10130.  
  10131. &lt;!-- Start of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  10132. &lt;div style=&quot;display: block; position: relative; min-width: 0px; max-width: 640px;&quot;&gt;

  10145. &lt;/div&gt;
  10146. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  10148.  
  10149.  
  10150.  
  10151. &lt;p&gt;Or use a stripper for heavier duty &lt;span id=&quot;5f857423-9c64-4242-8819-b8454936365d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/span&gt;, and you can then remove with a metal scraper.&lt;/p&gt;
  10152.  
  10153.  
  10154.  
  10155. &lt;p&gt;Add a wood conditioner, then apply a light stain. Finish with liming wax for a wonderfully light and rustic look.&lt;/p&gt;
  10156.  
  10157.  
  10158.  
  10159. &lt;p&gt;When finished you can add to a bathroom or outdoor area decorated with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/plants/&quot;&gt;plants&lt;/a&gt; or ornaments. You could use a similar method for a dining table, or try a wooden mirror if you want to start with a smaller project.&lt;/p&gt;
  10160.  
  10161.  
  10162.  
  10163. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BRIGHT IDEA: &lt;/strong&gt;Lampshades can make a big difference to the character of a room.&lt;/p&gt;
  10164.  
  10165.  
  10166.  
  10167. &lt;p&gt;If you have one in need of a refresh, you can easily paint it if it is plastic.&lt;/p&gt;
  10168.  
  10169.  
  10170.  
  10171. &lt;p&gt;For a modern look, spray the inside with a copper paint. If you have spare bits of fabric you can also stick on the outside of the shade.&lt;/p&gt;
  10172.  
  10173.  
  10174.  
  10175. &lt;p&gt;Adding pom poms, for example, around the edge of the lamp will give it more interest and is easy to do.&lt;/p&gt;
  10176.  
  10177.  
  10178.  
  10179. &lt;ul&gt;
  10180. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All prices on page correct at time of going to press. Deals and offers subject to availability&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  10181. &lt;/ul&gt;
  10182.

  10338.  
  10339. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GARETH BALE&lt;/strong&gt; has tabled a £40million bid to buy his beloved hometown club Cardiff City, according to reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  10340.  
  10341.  
  10342.  
  10343. &lt;p&gt;A consortium led by Bale has been in the market to buy a football team, having already been linked with a failed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35427395/gareth-bale-shock-takeover-plymouth-modric/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;move to takeover at Plymouth Argyle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10348.  
  10349.  
  10350.  
  10351. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Current &lt;span id=&quot;9d525221-7787-4bae-8d33-ea27902f77a6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cardiff&lt;/span&gt; owner Vincent Tan, who resides in Malaysia, is open to selling the Welsh club &amp;#8211; who were relegated from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/championship/&quot;&gt;Championship&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-one/&quot;&gt;League One&lt;/a&gt; in May.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10352.  
  10353.  
  10354.  
  10355. &lt;p&gt;Talks are taking place behind the scenes between &lt;span id=&quot;ef0fcc3e-42c3-4dae-ba5d-17fc47924f27&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cardiff&lt;/span&gt; and a US-based private equity group, reports &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/gareth-bale-consortium-makes-40m-bid-to-buy-cardiff-city-gc32g9x9n?srsltid=AfmBOoq7oQYx992FOzYtzIyKL384GRFamBRt6tk4OEnsuTMBkEYLixqk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Times.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10356.  
  10357.  
  10358.  
  10359. &lt;p&gt;And now an official&lt;span&gt; bid, worth less than &lt;strong&gt;HALF &lt;/strong&gt;of the £86million paid by Real Madrid to Tottenham for Bale in 2013, has been submitted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10360.  
  10361.  
  10362.  
  10363. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196709/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt; legend&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;spoke publicly for the first time about his plans&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;to take over the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-one/&quot;&gt;League One&lt;/a&gt; club at the European premiere of F1: The Movie in &lt;span id=&quot;364902fd-f320-46f1-a4bc-aafd37a5a8ce&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt; at the end of June.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10364.  
  10365.  
  10366.  
  10367. &lt;p&gt;Bale, 35, said: &amp;#8220;We are interested in getting &lt;span id=&quot;e1b8effe-dccc-4643-bf67-7df5b2a016a1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cardiff&lt;/span&gt;. It&amp;#8217;s my home club, it&amp;#8217;s where I grew up and my uncle used to play for them. &lt;/p&gt;
  10368.  
  10369.  
  10370.  
  10371. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To be involved with an ownership group would be a dream come true.&amp;nbsp;I would love to be able to be a part of growing &lt;span id=&quot;2d145ad8-19e5-4e16-9212-7eda2082197e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cardiff&lt;/span&gt; and taking it to the Premier League where it belongs.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10372.  
  10373.  
  10374.  
  10375. &lt;p&gt;Bale was born in the Welsh capital in 1989 and his uncle Chris Pike was a prolific &lt;span id=&quot;551f5970-895b-44e9-98e2-12b537b5fb94&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;striker&lt;/span&gt; at The Bluebirds between his nephew&amp;#8217;s birth-year and 1993.&lt;/p&gt;
  10376.  
  10377.  
  10378.  
  10379. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cardiff/&quot;&gt;Cardiff&lt;/a&gt; have reportedly already rejected an undisclosed first bid made by the Bale-led consortium. &lt;/p&gt;
  10380.  
  10381.  
  10382.  
  10383. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35672138&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cardiff-city-owner-vincent-tan-1005462318.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Vincent Tan, owner of Cardiff City F.C., at a soccer match.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35672138&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;679&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Current owner Vincent Tan has admitted he would be open to selling If the price is right[/caption]

  10388.  
  10389.  
  10390.  
  10391. &lt;p&gt;Divisive owner Tan, who became the majority owner in 2010, has invested £200m on his way to Cardiff descending to the third tier for the first time in more than 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  10392.  
  10393.  
  10394.  
  10395. &lt;p&gt;That means the new £40m offer is likely to be fiercely rejected, even if it indicates a level of intent by Bale&amp;#8217;s team.&lt;/p&gt;

  10452. &lt;p&gt;Bale opened his bar &amp;#8216;Elevens&amp;#8217; in&amp;nbsp;Cardiff&amp;nbsp;in 2017, before building on that success by combining his&amp;nbsp;next&amp;nbsp;pub venture with his love of&amp;nbsp;golf&amp;nbsp;to open Par 59 five years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  10453.  
  10454.

  10456. &lt;p&gt;He has since opened a second Par 59 venue in&amp;nbsp;Bristol, while he has also made a &amp;#8220;significant investment&amp;#8221; in Penderyn Distillery.&lt;/p&gt;

  10528.  
  10529.  
  10530.  
  10531. &lt;p&gt;The bruising encounter, played out in the House of Commons chamber for hour after hour on Tuesday, left &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; in no doubt.&lt;/p&gt;
  10532.  
  10533.  
  10534.  
  10535. &lt;p&gt;He’d lost the argument, he’d lost his authority and he’s now lost the goodwill.&lt;/p&gt;
  10536.  
  10537.  
  10538.  
  10539. &lt;p&gt;It was all supposed to be so very ­different. The landslide victory, the happy faces, the cheering on election night.&lt;/p&gt;
  10540.

  10544.  
  10545.  
  10546.  
  10547. &lt;p&gt;Now it’s all scowls, backstabbing, deals made in the back of taxis and a sense that it’s all gone horribly wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  10548.  
  10549.

  10551. &lt;p&gt;Labour is about to commemorate one year in government tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;

  10553.  
  10554.  
  10555. &lt;p&gt;But there isn’t anyone in the mood for a party.&lt;/p&gt;

  10558.  
  10559. &lt;p&gt;Remember when they said everything was fully costed. Remember when they said they were ready for government.&lt;/p&gt;
  10560.  
  10561.  
  10562.

  10596.

  10598.  
  10599. &lt;p&gt;Starmer has been waking up each morning this week with a feeling of dread as it slowly dawns on him that things haven’t been going very well.&lt;/p&gt;
  10600.

  10611. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  10613.  
  10614.  
  10615.  
  10616. &lt;p&gt;In fact, as the first anniversary of his Government looms large, it seems for all the world that the biggest job in Britain is simply too big for him.&lt;/p&gt;
  10617.  
  10618.  
  10619.  
  10620. &lt;p&gt;This week the respected polling guru Sir John Curtice summed it up when he said Starmer has had “the worst start for any newly elected prime minister, Labour or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/conservative-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Conservative&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/p&gt;
  10621.  
  10622.  
  10623.  
  10624. &lt;p&gt;He added that one of the reasons Starmer’s approval ratings are so bad — minus 54 points — is that voters simply still don’t know what he stands for.&lt;/p&gt;
  10625.  
  10626.  
  10627.  
  10628. &lt;p&gt;After a year in government &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tony-blair/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tony Blair’s&lt;/a&gt; approval rating was +34 and even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-cameron/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;David Cameron&lt;/a&gt; was only -3.&lt;/p&gt;
  10629.  
  10630.  
  10631.  
  10632. &lt;p&gt;“It’s not as if this was a Government that was elected with any enthusiasm in July last year,” Sir John told me this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  10633.  
  10634.  
  10635.  
  10636. &lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wes-streeting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wes Streeting&lt;/a&gt; was wheeled out to defend the Prime Minister’s record a few days ago he was at pains to point out that the PM was a decent man who “has the ­courage and humility” to admit he was not perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
  10637.  
  10638.  
  10639.  
  10640. &lt;p&gt;He stopped short of admitting to Labour ­mistakes.&lt;/p&gt;
  10641.  
  10642.  
  10643.  
  10644. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35671919&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/secretary-state-health-social-care-1006416103.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Portrait of Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35671919&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Shutterstock Editorial&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Defending his struggling leader, Wes Streeting pointed out that the PM was a decent man who &amp;#8216;has the ­courage and humility&amp;#8217; to admit that he was not perfect[/caption]
  10645.  
  10646.  
  10647.  
  10648. &lt;p&gt;Starmer himself gave a series of ­personal interviews at the weekend in which he appeared to try to paint ­himself as a man who had regrets about some of the things that have gone wrong in the past 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;
  10649.  
  10650.  
  10651.  
  10652. &lt;p&gt;But even that backfired as he confessed to making mistakes because he was ­distracted.&lt;/p&gt;
  10653.  
  10654.  
  10655.  
  10656. &lt;p&gt;He didn’t realise the left-wing backbenchers in his own party were plotting a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35652276/welfare-benefit-changes-bill-vote/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;rebellion on the Welfare Bill&lt;/a&gt; because he was too busy being an international statesman at the G7 and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nato/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nato&lt;/a&gt; summits.&lt;/p&gt;
  10657.  
  10658.  
  10659.  
  10660. &lt;p&gt;He didn’t realise how his ­“strangers in their own land” speech would be interpreted as a significant policy shift on immigration — especially as it appeared to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34920712/immigration-starmer-crackdown-politics-refugees-labour/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;echo the words of Labour bogeyman Enoch Powell.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10661.  
  10662.  
  10663.  
  10664. &lt;p&gt;He was, apparently, distracted by the firebomb attack on his private home.&lt;/p&gt;
  10665.  
  10666.  
  10667.  
  10668. &lt;p&gt;In truth, though, the trouble for the PM didn’t just start in May.&lt;/p&gt;
  10669.  
  10670.  
  10671.  
  10672. &lt;p&gt;His behaviour in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/house-of-commons/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;House of Commons&lt;/a&gt;, when he deigns to turn up, is viewed as condescending and rude.&lt;/p&gt;
  10673.  
  10674.  
  10675.  
  10676. &lt;p&gt;Especially to women MPs.&lt;/p&gt;
  10677.  
  10678.  
  10679.  
  10680. &lt;p&gt;His repeated claims that he is “fixing the foundations” of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-economy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;economy&lt;/a&gt; and ­creating thousands of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt; are being exposed as downright lies by ever-increasing statistics which confirm ­precisely the opposite is true.&lt;/p&gt;
  10681.  
  10682.  
  10683.  
  10684. &lt;p&gt;The rot set in early in Starmer’s reign when it became clear that his claim he would deliver a government of service was blown apart by revelations that both he and his wife — and several other key Labour figures — had been the recipients of clothes, glasses, holidays and countless other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30724317/keir-starmer-clothes-labour-donor/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;gifts from millionaire donor Lord Alli and others.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10685.  
  10686.  
  10687.  
  10688. &lt;p&gt;In trying to portray himself as a human being who cares about ordinary working people, Starmer has attempted to show he’s just the son of a toolmaker who got lucky.&lt;/p&gt;
  10689.  
  10690.  
  10691.  
  10692. &lt;p&gt;He likes football, he loves his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  10693.  
  10694.  
  10695.  
  10696. &lt;p&gt;Who can forget his insistence that he would always stop working at 6pm on a Friday night so that he could cook for his children?&lt;/p&gt;
  10697.  
  10698.  
  10699.  
  10700. &lt;p&gt;But the truth seems to be very different.&lt;/p&gt;
  10701.

  10719.

  10722.  
  10723.  
  10724.  
  10725. &lt;p&gt;And we’ve witnessed the crestfallen Starmer in the Commons last week vowing to listen to his critics.&lt;/p&gt;

  10738.  
  10739.  
  10740.  
  10741. &lt;p&gt;The one who doesn’t know what a woman is until he’s told by the Supreme Court?&lt;/p&gt;

  10837. &lt;p&gt;A MISSING person has been found dead in a woodland with a man and woman arrested on suspicion of their murder.&lt;/p&gt;
  10838.  
  10839.  
  10840.  
  10841. &lt;p&gt;Cops rushed to a wooded area between Truro and St Austell in  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cornwall/&quot;&gt;Cornwall&lt;/a&gt;, after reports of concern for the welfare of a man at around 6pm yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;

  10850.  
  10851.  
  10852.  
  10853. &lt;p&gt;A woman in her 30s from Newquay, has today been arrested on suspicion of murder.&lt;/p&gt;
  10854.  
  10855.  
  10856.  
  10857. &lt;p&gt;A 39-year-old man from Sticker was also arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody at this time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10858.  
  10859.  
  10860.  
  10861. &lt;p&gt;The same man was earlier arrested on Monday on suspicion of fraud as part of enquiries into the missing man.&lt;/p&gt;
  10862.  
  10863.  
  10864.  
  10865. &lt;p&gt;Cops had swooped on a property in Sticker, near St Austell before making the initial arrest.&lt;/p&gt;
  10866.  
  10867.  
  10868.  
  10869. &lt;p&gt;The force have now said: &amp;#8220;Further information came to light during a search which resulted in the man also being arrested on suspicion of murder.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10870.  
  10871.  
  10872.  
  10873. &lt;p&gt;Formal identification of the body has yet to take place but the family of a man has been informed, said cops.&lt;/p&gt;
  10874.  
  10875.  
  10876.  
  10877. &lt;p&gt;Police are understood to be keeping an open mind, but it is believed the two incidents are linked.&lt;/p&gt;
  10878.  
  10879.  
  10880.  
  10881. &lt;p&gt;DI Neil Blanchard, from the Major &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;Crime&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;Investigation&lt;/a&gt; Team, said: “We appreciate that these events may appear concerning to the public, but we would like to ask people not to speculate while we work to ascertain exactly what has happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  10882.  
  10883.  
  10884.  
  10885. &lt;p&gt;“Scene guards will remain in place both in the wooded area and in the St Austell area.&lt;/p&gt;
  10886.  
  10887.  
  10888.  
  10889. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We believe the incidents could be linked but there is nothing to indicate a wider threat to the public.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10890.  
  10891.  
  10892.  
  10893. &lt;p&gt;If you have any information or footage that could help with enquiries, Devon and Cornwall Police can be contacted online or by calling 101 quoting reference number 50250167097.&lt;/p&gt;

  10918. &lt;p&gt;BITTER neighbours locked in a &amp;#8220;ridiculous&amp;#8221; seven-year row over a tiny gap between their homes have been slammed by a judge.&lt;/p&gt;
  10919.  
  10920.  
  10921.  
  10922. &lt;p&gt;Christel Naish and her doctor neighbour Jyotibala Patel have been fighting a court war over an inches-wide strip between their houses that is too narrow for someone to comfortably walk down.&lt;/p&gt;

  10939.  
  10940.  
  10941.  
  10942. &lt;p&gt;Last year, after a trial at Mayors and City County Court, Ms Naish was left with more than £200,000 in lawers&amp;#8217; bills for the case when the judge ruled in Dr Patel&amp;#8217;s favour.&lt;/p&gt;
  10943.  
  10944.  
  10945.  
  10946. &lt;p&gt;But Ms Naish fought on &amp;#8211; in what High Court judge Sir Anthony Mann branded a &amp;#8220;ridiculous&amp;#8221; dispute &amp;#8211; only to have her case thrown out this week at the High Court.&lt;/p&gt;

  10950. &lt;p&gt;Rejecting her appeal, Sir Anthony said the disputed strip of land between the houses is &amp;#8220;dead space, and one would have thought it was not worth arguing about.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10951.  
  10952.  
  10953.  
  10954. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Ms Naish first moved in as a teenager with her parents and, although she moved out, frequently returned as she worked from there in the family&amp;#8217;s tarmac business.&lt;/p&gt;
  10955.  
  10956.  
  10957.  
  10958. &lt;p&gt;She eventually moved back permanently after the death of her father in 2001, with Dr Patel and husband Vasos Vassili buying the house next door for £450,000 in 2013.&lt;/p&gt;
  10959.  
  10960.  
  10961.  
  10962. &lt;p&gt;The couple&amp;#8217;s barrister, Paul Wilmshurst, told the judge that the dispute began due to Ms Naish repeatedly complaining that a tap and pipe outside their house trespassed on her land.&lt;/p&gt;
  10963.  
  10964.  
  10965.  
  10966. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Due to her &amp;#8220;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34813691/neighbour-fence-picnic-row-oxford/&quot;&gt;terrorising&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8221; them with her &amp;#8220;petty and vindictive&amp;#8221; complaints, they felt forced to sue due to the &amp;#8220;blight&amp;#8221; on the property&amp;#8217;s value caused by the unresolved row, he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10967.  
  10968.  
  10969.  
  10970. &lt;p&gt;At the county court, they claimed the tiny gap between the houses, created when the previous owners of their home built an extension on a previously much wider gap in 1983, was theirs.&lt;/p&gt;
  10971.  
  10972.  
  10973.  
  10974. &lt;p&gt;They insisted that the boundary between the two properties was the flank wall of Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s house and not the edge of her guttering hanging above, as she claimed.&lt;/p&gt;

  10996.  
  10997.  
  10998. &lt;p&gt;After hearing the trial, Judge Hellman found for Dr Patel and Mr Vassili, ruling that Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s flank wall was the boundary and meaning they own the gap between the houses.&lt;/p&gt;
  10999.  
  11000.  
  11001.  
  11002. &lt;p&gt;However, he found against them on Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s counterclaim, under which she sought damages for damp ingress into her conservatory caused by them having installed decking above the level of her damp proof course.&lt;/p&gt;
  11003.  
  11004.  
  11005.  
  11006. &lt;p&gt;The judge found that, although the damp problem was already in existence, the installation of the decking screed was a 20% contribution to it, and awarded Ms Naish £1,226 damages.&lt;/p&gt;
  11007.  
  11008.  
  11009.  
  11010. &lt;p&gt;However, because he had found against her on who owns the gap between the houses, he ordered that she pay 65% of her neighbours&amp;#8217; lawyers&amp;#8217; bills &amp;#8211; amounting to about £100,000 of an approximate £150,000 bill &amp;#8211; on top of a similar six-figure sum she ran up herself.&lt;/p&gt;
  11011.  
  11012.  
  11013.  
  11014. &lt;p&gt;Concluding his judgment, he said: &amp;#8220;Now that the parties have the benefit of a judgment on the various issues that have been troubling them, I hope that tensions will subside and that they will be able to live together as good neighbours.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11015.  
  11016.  
  11017.  
  11018. &lt;p&gt;However, Ms Naish continued to fight and took her case to the High Court in May, which Sir Anthony blasted as bringing &amp;#8220;litigation into disrepute&amp;#8221; since Ms Naish no longer has any problems with the tap and pipe, meaning the row is over &amp;#8220;dead space.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11019.  
  11020.  
  11021.  
  11022. &lt;p&gt;The court heard the legal costs of the appeal process itself would add more than £30,000 to the total cost of the case.&lt;/p&gt;
  11023.  
  11024.  
  11025.  
  11026. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hundreds of thousands of pounds about a tap and a pipe that doesn&amp;#8217;t matter,&amp;#8221; Sir Anthony told Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s lawyers during the appeal hearing.&lt;/p&gt;
  11027.  
  11028.  
  11029.  
  11030. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You don&amp;#8217;t care about the pipe and the tap, so why does it matter, for goodness&amp;#8217; sake, where the boundary lies?&lt;/p&gt;
  11031.  
  11032.  
  11033.  
  11034. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It seems to me to be a ridiculous piece of litigation &amp;#8211; on both sides, no doubt.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11035.  
  11036.  
  11037.  
  11038. &lt;p&gt;Appealing, Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s lawyers argued that Judge Hellman had considered the issue of where the boundary lies in the wrong way, without taking notice of the fact that both houses were already built when crucial conveyancing documents were drawn up.&lt;/p&gt;

  11059.  
  11060.  
  11061.  
  11062. &lt;p&gt;The judge should have looked at the houses and decided that a reasonable buyer would expect the boundary to lie a few inches past Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s wall so that her overhanging guttering was over the land.&lt;/p&gt;
  11063.  
  11064.  
  11065.  
  11066. &lt;p&gt;Giving judgment, Sir Anthony said he disagreed with Judge Hellman&amp;#8217;s reasoning, but had come to the same decision &amp;#8211; that the boundary ran along the line of Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s house and so the land belongs to her neighbours.&lt;/p&gt;
  11067.  
  11068.  
  11069.  
  11070. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think that a purchaser standing with the plan in his/her hand and looking at the position on the ground is unlikely to look much beyond the obvious flank wall of the house. That would be an obvious boundary feature which fitted with the plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  11071.  
  11072.  
  11073.  
  11074. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I do not think the parties would cast their eyes upwards and see the guttering and re-shape their view of the boundary to the plane of the exterior face of the guttering. That does not seem particularly plausible.&lt;/p&gt;
  11075.  
  11076.  
  11077.  
  11078. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nor do I think that the purchaser would be aware that foundations protruded beyond the flank wall &amp;#8211; if indeed they do, there was no actual evidence of that, only a bit of speculation on the probabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
  11079.  
  11080.  
  11081.  
  11082. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So the natural view of the boundary at this point would be the flank wall. It is the obvious topographical feature which bears on the question.&lt;/p&gt;
  11083.  
  11084.  
  11085.  
  11086. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In my view, the judge reached the right conclusion on the position of the boundary, albeit my reasoning differs from his.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11087.  
  11088.  
  11089.  
  11090. &lt;p&gt;The judge rejected Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s appeal and also dismissed her challenge to the decision on the damp issue, under which she was claiming extra damages.&lt;/p&gt;
  11091.  
  11092.  
  11093.  
  11094. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The judge&amp;#8217;s conclusion was that 20% of the damp problem was attributable to the claimants&amp;#8217; decking and he was entitled to reach that view,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11095.  
  11096.  
  11097.  
  11098. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is particularly undesirable that this already unfortunate litigation should be cluttered up by such unworthy points taken on this appeal.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11099.  
  11100.  
  11101.  
  11102. &lt;p&gt;Ms Naish&amp;#8217;s appeal against the amount of her neighbours&amp;#8217; costs she must pay will be decided at a later date.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  11127. &lt;p&gt;The 46-year-old last week made a U-turn on the upcoming live dates with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kerry-katona/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kerry&lt;/a&gt;, 44 &amp;#8211; after initially &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35189066/katie-price-quit-tour-kerry-katona/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;quitting the shows due to other commitments&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  11143.  
  11144.  
  11145. &lt;p&gt;But, after The Sun told how &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35553596/katie-price-tour-kerry-katona-crisis-talks/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;they’d managed to make it work and former glamour model Katie was back on board&lt;/a&gt;, she’s suffered another blow. &lt;/p&gt;
  11146.  
  11147.  
  11148.  
  11149. &lt;p&gt;She took to Instagram to share the full dates for An Evening with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-price/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Katie Price&lt;/a&gt; and Kerry Katona. &lt;/p&gt;
  11150.  
  11151.  
  11152.  
  11153. &lt;p&gt;But eagle-eyed fans immediately spotted some mistakes in the details provided.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11154.  
  11155.  
  11156.  
  11157. &lt;p&gt;One wrote: “Dates are wrong. On the left column it says Wednesday 10th October but 10th October is a Friday so assume it’s supposed to be September.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11158.  
  11159.  
  11160.  
  11161. &lt;p&gt;They added: “Also two 20th October dates at two different venues, just an fyi.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11162.  
  11163.  
  11164.  
  11165. &lt;p&gt;The apparent misprints quickly caused confusion, with one follower asking: “Is Lincoln September or October?”&lt;/p&gt;
  11166.  
  11167.  
  11168.  
  11169. &lt;p&gt;And someone else said: “You’ve got 20th October listed twice, bound to cause confusion.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11170.  
  11171.  
  11172.  
  11173. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;During the tour,&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33543411/katie-price-kerry-katona-new-job-bosses-lawyers-standby/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Katie and Kerry plan to&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8220;share stories of their friendship,&lt;span&gt; marriage &lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt; divorce&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span&gt; bankruptcy&lt;/span&gt;, ‘I’m A Celebrity’, the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11174.  
  11175.  
  11176.  
  11177. &lt;p&gt;It’s the latest social media mum-of-five Katie has suffered recently, after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35602695/mortifying-moment-katie-price-forced-delete-birthday-tribute-princess/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;she mixed up the date of eldest daughter Princess Andre’s 18th birthday&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  11178.  
  11179.  
  11180.  
  11181. &lt;p&gt;Katie initially shared a post on Instagram marking Princess’ milestone two days early, before swiftly deleting it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  11237.  
  11238. &lt;p&gt;THE Range is bringing back a Cadbury favourite that vanished in 2002.&lt;/p&gt;
  11239.  
  11240.  
  11241.  
  11242. &lt;p&gt;A savvy shopper spotted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cadbury/&quot;&gt;Cadbury&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Dream bars on the shelves at the discount store.&lt;/p&gt;
  11243.  
  11244.  
  11245.  
  11246. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35671483&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 760px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/c6706d67-e6cb-4d7a-bd58-78feeabb38cf.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=750&quot; alt=&quot;Three Cadbury Dream Creamy White chocolate bars.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35671483&quot; width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Cadbury Dream bars have made a return&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  11247.  
  11248.  
  11249.  
  11250. &lt;p&gt;Dream bars, made from white chocolate and cocoa butter, were launched in the UK in 2001, but discontinued just a year later.&lt;/p&gt;
  11251.  
  11252.  
  11253.  
  11254. &lt;p&gt;A shopper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/638374683250948/posts/2217975628624171/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;shared&lt;/a&gt; their discovery on the Facebook group Food Finds UK, posting a photo of the sweets for sale at a discount store. &lt;/p&gt;
  11255.  
  11256.  
  11257.  
  11258. &lt;p&gt;One commenter tagged a friend, saying: &amp;#8220;You used to love Dream chocolate when we were younger.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11259.  
  11260.  
  11261.  
  11262. &lt;p&gt;The iconic Dream white chocolate bars &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/11537511/cadbury-dream-bm-stores-buy-online/&quot;&gt;made a comeback in 2020&lt;/a&gt;, appearing in select UK stores including B&amp;amp;M.&lt;/p&gt;
  11263.  
  11264.  
  11265.  
  11266. &lt;p&gt;Before the B&amp;amp;M relaunch, UK shoppers could only buy Dream online from GB Gifts, who imported the bars from Australia for £5.99. &lt;/p&gt;
  11267.  
  11268.  
  11269.  
  11270. &lt;p&gt;Chocolate fans have also spotted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35660374/retro-snacks-drinks-return/&quot;&gt;other classic treats returning&lt;/a&gt; to shelves this month. &lt;/p&gt;
  11271.  
  11272.  
  11273.  
  11274. &lt;p&gt;The Wham Bar is back &amp;#8211; but as an ice lolly &amp;#8211; now available at Iceland stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  11275.  
  11276.  
  11277.  
  11278. &lt;p&gt;First launched in the 1980s by Scottish confectioners McCowan’s, Wham Bars once sold 30 million bars a year. &lt;/p&gt;
  11279.  
  11280.  
  11281.  
  11282. &lt;p&gt;After McCowan’s went into administration in 2011, Tangerine Confectionery took over the brand. &lt;/p&gt;
  11283.  
  11284.  
  11285.  
  11286. &lt;p&gt;One shopper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/newfoodsuk/posts/pfbid0v7RLzuCwrNyUwXJipGD96sEYjK2NEiUQSqPM1UhLGX3FMZ4yvQ9aijSRU5nyiHJml?rdid=cBNQXX8Bpq8Y2oP6#&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;posted&lt;/a&gt; on the NewfoodsUK Facebook group: “Wham Ice Cream Lollies are back at Iceland Foods.”&lt;/p&gt;

  11338. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  11339. We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don&amp;#039;t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. &lt;/p&gt;
  11341. &lt;div&gt;
  11342. &lt;p&gt;Consumer reporter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/samuel-walker/&quot;&gt;Sam Walker&lt;/a&gt; reveals how to cut costs&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  11343. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go own brand &amp;#8211; &lt;/strong&gt;if you&amp;#8217;re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you&amp;#8217;ll save by going for the supermarket&amp;#8217;s own brand bars.&lt;/p&gt;
  11344. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shop around&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; if you&amp;#8217;ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it&amp;#8217;s cheaper elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;
  11345. &lt;p&gt;Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you&amp;#8217;re getting the best deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  11346. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look out for yellow stickers&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they&amp;#8217;ve been reduced.&lt;/p&gt;
  11347. &lt;p&gt;They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.&lt;/p&gt;
  11348. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy bigger bars&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  11349. &lt;p&gt;So if you&amp;#8217;ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.&lt;/p&gt;
  11350. &lt;/div&gt;
  11351. &lt;/div&gt;
  11352. &lt;/div&gt;

  11398.  
  11399. &lt;p&gt;HEATHROW may sue the National Grid after a probe found a fault causing the huge substation fire was identified seven years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  11400.  
  11401.  
  11402.  
  11403. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/33958265/every-flight-cancelled-from-heathrow/&quot;&gt;The blaze&lt;/a&gt; in March halted flights for 24 hours — &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33958094/cancellations-delays-heathrow-airport-fire-closed/&quot;&gt;affecting 270,000 passengers&lt;/a&gt; and costing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/heathrow/&quot;&gt;the airport&lt;/a&gt; millions.&lt;/p&gt;
  11404.  
  11405.  
  11406.  
  11407. &lt;p&gt;A probe by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34705886/uk-energy-operator-power-plant-outages-spain-portugal-blackouts/&quot;&gt;National Energy System Operator&lt;/a&gt; found faulty fire safety equipment and moisture in electrical parts flagged in 2018 were not addressed, and maintenance was delayed again in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  11408.  
  11409.  
  11410.  
  11411. &lt;p&gt;The North Hyde substation fire was caused by “catastrophic failure” in a transformer, triggered by moisture entering electrical components.&lt;/p&gt;
  11412.  
  11413.  
  11414.  
  11415. &lt;p&gt;Heathrow’s network was not designed to recover quickly. &lt;/p&gt;
  11416.  
  11417.  
  11418.  
  11419. &lt;p&gt;The airport said it was making improvements. &lt;/p&gt;
  11420.  
  11421.  
  11422.  
  11423. &lt;p&gt;Energy watchdog Ofgem has now launched a probe into the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-grid-plc/&quot;&gt;National Grid&lt;/a&gt;, which could result in fines. &lt;/p&gt;
  11424.  
  11425.  
  11426.  
  11427. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35158509/heathrow-boss-slept-shutdown-phone-silent/&quot;&gt;Heathrow&lt;/a&gt; said: “A combination of outdated regulation, inadequate safety mechanisms and National Grid’s failure to maintain infrastructure led to this catastrophic power outage.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11428.  
  11429.  
  11430.  
  11431. &lt;p&gt;National Grid said it had “taken action”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11432.  
  11433.  
  11434.  
  11435. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ed-miliband/&quot;&gt;Energy Secretary Ed Miliband&lt;/a&gt; called the findings “concerning” and promised action to prevent similar incidents.&lt;/p&gt;
  11436.  
  11437.  
  11438.  
  11439. &lt;p&gt;Heathrow, Europe’s busiest airport, handled over 83.9million passengers in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

  11513.  
  11514.  
  11515. &lt;p&gt;A drama chronicling what happened to Nazanin is being made by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the Beeb&lt;/a&gt; starring Shakespeare in Love star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28114822/handmaids-tale-joseph-fiennes-explorer-uncle-diagnosis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Joseph Fiennes&lt;/a&gt; playing her husband Richard. &lt;/p&gt;

  11518.  
  11519. &lt;p&gt;He tirelessly campaigned for her release so she could be reunited with him and their daughter, who was just two at the time she was incarcerated.&lt;/p&gt;
  11520.  
  11521.  
  11522.  
  11523. &lt;p&gt;The four-parter is based on forthcoming book A Yard Of Sky, written by the couple, and Nazanin will be played in the drama by Narges Rashidi.&lt;/p&gt;

  11529.  
  11530.  
  11531. &lt;p&gt;It will feature Nazanin and Richard talking at length about what happened to their family, based in Winchester, and how they’ve tried to rebuild their lives since.&lt;/p&gt;

  11536.  
  11537.  
  11538.  
  11539. &lt;p&gt;This kind of drama-and-doc pairing has also been embraced by ITV who’ve been doing the same with shows like Mr Bates Vs The Post Office, Unforgotten and Des.&lt;/p&gt;

  11722. &lt;p&gt;The show is based around teenage genius Riri Williams, played by Dominique Thorne, who has created her own version of the Iron Man suit made famous by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/20491607/robert-downey-jr-bald-shaved-unrecognizable/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Robert Downey Jr&lt;/a&gt; in the movies.&lt;/p&gt;

  11768.  
  11769.  
  11770.  
  11771. &lt;p&gt;The 53-year-old penned to his 761,000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; followers: “I’m so sorry but unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of my control, I will no longer be appearing at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/yorkshire/&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt; Dales Food &amp;amp; Drink Festival.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11772.  
  11773.  
  11774.  
  11775. &lt;p&gt;He continued: “Please contact the organisers if you have any questions.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11776.  
  11777.  
  11778.  
  11779. &lt;p&gt;The comments section were flooded with messages of disappointment, from fans hopeful to see James at the event &amp;#8211; but his comments have now been switched off.&lt;/p&gt;
  11780.  
  11781.  
  11782.  
  11783. &lt;p&gt;The event takes place between July 18 and 20 at Aireville Park in Skipton, and TV favourite James was due to be one of the main draws of the festival.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11784.  
  11785.  
  11786.  
  11787. &lt;p&gt;The popular event didn’t take place last year, after first launching in 2016, and so eager fans are looking forward to attending, with music performances from the likes of The Feeling and Go West.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11788.  
  11789.  
  11790.  
  11791. &lt;p&gt;Jon Arrowsmith, managing director of The Yorkshire Dales Food &amp;amp; Drink Festival, has since shared a statement with the Yorkshire Post, upon the news that James will not attend.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11792.  
  11793.  
  11794.  
  11795. &lt;p&gt;He said: “We’re absolutely gutted that James has decided not to join us this year, we know how popular he is and understandably his fans will be disappointed by his decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  11796.  
  11797.  
  11798.  
  11799. &lt;p&gt;“Running festivals is not for the faint-hearted and it certainly has its ups and downs. We’ve worked hard to rebuild the festival after it collapsed and we knew it would come with its challenges – maybe not as many as we’re facing – but we’re working through them.&lt;/p&gt;
  11800.  
  11801.  
  11802.  
  11803. &lt;p&gt;“Please bear with us as we finalise our line-up and hire a replacement chef. But let me reassure everyone, we remain as committed as ever in our promise to deliver a festival Yorkshire will be proud of and one everyone will enjoy.”&lt;/p&gt;

  11828.  
  11829.  
  11830.  
  11831. &lt;p&gt;Before his popular &lt;span id=&quot;a0c4a0e2-feec-4281-8a82-87d21a752c08&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/span&gt; series, James presented &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/saturday-kitchen/&quot;&gt;Saturday Kitchen&lt;/a&gt;, Home Comforts, James Martin&amp;#8217;s Great British Adventure, Islands to Highlands and James Martin’s French Adventure.&lt;/p&gt;
  11832.  
  11833.  
  11834.  
  11835. &lt;p&gt;He has also published over 20 best-selling cook &lt;span id=&quot;3330e089-3f48-4ca7-965d-b0bf531d61e9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;books&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11836.  
  11837.  
  11838.  
  11839. &lt;p&gt;James has been through a tough time of late as he faced brutal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27343735/james-martin-cancer-surgery-stitches/&quot;&gt;health battles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11840.  
  11841.  
  11842.  
  11843. &lt;p&gt;He was first &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24664698/james-martin-taking-break-from-work-cancer-update/#:~:text=Referencing%20his%20cancer%20diagnosis%2C%20James,have%20to%20have%20regular%20treatments.%22&quot;&gt;diagnosed with cancer&lt;/a&gt; six years ago &amp;#8211; but kept it secret from fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  11844.  
  11845.  
  11846.  
  11847. &lt;p&gt;James underwent surgery but it returned on &amp;#8220;several occasions&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11848.  
  11849.  
  11850.  
  11851. &lt;p&gt;In November 2023, James revealed he was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24664698/james-martin-taking-break-from-work-cancer-update/#:~:text=Referencing%20his%20cancer%20diagnosis%2C%20James,have%20to%20have%20regular%20treatments.%22&quot;&gt;taking a break from work &lt;/a&gt;after he was diagnosed with facial cancer in 2018.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11852.  
  11853.  
  11854.  
  11855. &lt;p&gt;At the time, he explained: &amp;#8220;I was then diagnosed with cancer on my face, and I had to have surgery, which I couldn’t do until two days before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; when we had finished filming.&lt;/p&gt;
  11856.  
  11857.  
  11858.

  11878. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;OVER the years Rishi Persad has managed to forge a very successful career as a sports presenter.&lt;/p&gt;
  11879.  
  11880.  
  11881.  
  11882. &lt;p&gt;Thanks to this, he has been able to cover some of the biggest sporting events in the world &amp;#8211; which includes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26581708/we-live-by-cheltenham-racecourse-watch-horses/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cheltenham Festival&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11887.  
  11888.  
  11889.  
  11890. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot; id=&quot;who-is-rishi-persad&quot;&gt;Who is Rishi Persad?&lt;/h2&gt;
  11891.  
  11892.  
  11893.  
  11894. &lt;p&gt;Rishi Persad was born on May 25, 1974 and was raised on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/cricket/9368439/brian-lara-hospital-chest-pain/&quot;&gt;Caribbean island Trinidad&lt;/a&gt; as a keen &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/horse-racing/&quot;&gt;horse racing&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/cricket/&quot;&gt;cricket fan.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11895.  
  11896.  
  11897.  
  11898. &lt;p&gt;His parents are of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/india/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Indian&lt;/a&gt; descent, with his mother being a bank manager, while his father earned his living as a lawyer.&lt;/p&gt;
  11899.  
  11900.  
  11901.  
  11902. &lt;p&gt;The family bred horses as a side hobby which is how Persad grew his passion for racing.&lt;/p&gt;
  11903.  
  11904.  
  11905.  
  11906. &lt;p&gt;By the age of 12 he moved to Britain, and attended boarding school.&lt;/p&gt;
  11907.  
  11908.  
  11909.  
  11910. &lt;p&gt;After this he went onto secure a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; degree from King&amp;#8217;s College London.&lt;/p&gt;
  11911.  
  11912.  
  11913.  
  11914. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35671630&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/NINTCHDBPICT000913991822.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Rishi Persad and Annabel Croft presenting for BBC Sport at Wimbledon.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35671630&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;663&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Rishi Persad and Annabel Croft presenting for BBC Sport at Wimbledon&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  11915.  
  11916.  
  11917.  
  11918. &lt;p&gt;However, Persad realised he had a gift for broadcasting, and switched to presenting.&lt;/p&gt;
  11919.  
  11920.  
  11921.  
  11922. &lt;p&gt;His career began in 2002 when he joined At the Races &amp;#8211; a show dedicated to horse racing now known as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky/&quot;&gt;Sky&lt;/a&gt; Sports Racing.&lt;/p&gt;
  11923.  
  11924.  
  11925.  
  11926. &lt;p&gt;This was followed by a transition to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-4/&quot;&gt;Channel 4&lt;/a&gt; in 2003 where he made his debut on a winning coverage panel for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cheltenham-festival/&quot;&gt;Cheltenham Festival.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11927.  
  11928.  
  11929.  
  11930. &lt;p&gt;And since then, he has travelled across the globe covering a range of sports for the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky-sports/&quot;&gt;Sky Sports&lt;/a&gt;, ESPN, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11931.

  11934. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot; id=&quot;what-events-has-he-presented-at&quot;&gt;What events has Rishi Persad presented?&lt;/h2&gt;
  11935.  
  11936.  
  11937.  
  11938. &lt;p&gt;After Rishi&amp;#8217;s successful opening act on At The Races, the broadcasting legend was recruited by the BBC.&lt;/p&gt;
  11939.

  12064. &lt;p&gt;ANTHONY JOSHUA ‘squared up’ to the teenage boxer who’s tipped to be his successor as they came face to face for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;
  12065.

  12081.  
  12082.  
  12083.  
  12084. &lt;p&gt;Awestruck Atang, who calls Joshua his idol, was taken aback when the two-time heavyweight world champion threw air punches within seconds of meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
  12085.  
  12086.  
  12087.  
  12088. &lt;p&gt;AJ broke the ice with the gag as he gave the young fighter his seal of approval.&lt;/p&gt;
  12089.  
  12090.  
  12091.  
  12092. &lt;p&gt;The former world champion told Atang: “The world is yours.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12093.  
  12094.  
  12095.  
  12096. &lt;p&gt;But the heavyweight isn’t ready to bow out quite yet, despite his knock-out by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/daniel-dubois/&quot;&gt;Daniel Dubois&lt;/a&gt; in September.&lt;/p&gt;
  12097.  
  12098.  
  12099.  
  12100. &lt;p&gt;Speaking at the unveiling of Matchroom &lt;span id=&quot;98956d81-8c09-4282-8840-2da9a67f6c23&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Boxing&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8216;s rebranding, AJ said: &amp;#8220;For the first time in about 12 to 13 years as a professional, not even including the amateur stuff, I took a year out to get my body right.&lt;/p&gt;
  12101.  
  12102.  
  12103.  
  12104. &lt;p&gt;“I&amp;#8217;m at a different stage in my career where I can look at time a bit differently.&lt;/p&gt;
  12105.  
  12106.  
  12107.  
  12108. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve not got all these years in front of me like the main man here [Atang], so I’ve got to make really executive decisions about what I do &lt;span id=&quot;4a9461cb-2aa9-413d-85f7-36573309e5df&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12109.  
  12110.  
  12111.  
  12112. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So the minute I come back, you know I&amp;#8217;ll come back with a bang rather than just keep rolling.&lt;/p&gt;
  12113.  
  12114.

  12117.  
  12118.  
  12119.  
  12120. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I just thought, let me take some time out so when I do come back I come back fully active and ready to go and take the division by storm again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12121.  
  12122.  
  12123.  
  12124. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Atang is preparing for his pro debut on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-catterall/&quot;&gt;Jack Catterall&lt;/a&gt; vs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/harlem-eubank/&quot;&gt;Harlem Eubank&lt;/a&gt; card in &lt;span id=&quot;6ad97dff-c9cf-4b19-81b7-c27b5944590c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/span&gt; this Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;

  12206. &lt;p&gt;EMMA RADUCANU faces the toughest test in tennis right now as she booked a third-round clash with Aryna Sabalenka.&lt;/p&gt;
  12207.  
  12208.  
  12209.  
  12210. &lt;p&gt;A 6-3 6-3 victory over Marketa Vondrousova, a former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; champion, was one of her best wins over four years of competing in SW19.&lt;/p&gt;

  12227.  
  12228.  
  12229.  
  12230. &lt;p&gt;And it means she will now face the world No1 and three-time Grand Slam champion from Belarus in the last 32 on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
  12231.  
  12232.  
  12233.  
  12234. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/emma-raducanu/&quot;&gt;Raducanu&lt;/a&gt;, 22, has won only three times in 15 meetings with top-10 players.&lt;/p&gt;
  12235.  
  12236.  
  12237.  
  12238. &lt;p&gt;And she has never taken a set off someone ranked in the top-three spots on the WTA world rankings.&lt;/p&gt;
  12239.  
  12240.  
  12241.  
  12242. &lt;p&gt;However, British fans can dream and pray for an upset because of the manner in which Raducanu managed to progress.&lt;/p&gt;
  12243.  
  12244.  
  12245.  
  12246. &lt;p&gt;At times, she bullied Vondrousova into retreat and hit several backhand winners.&lt;/p&gt;
  12247.  
  12248.  
  12249.  
  12250. &lt;p&gt;The Czech ace – who lost to Raducanu in the second round in 2021 – is nowhere near the same player that was lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish two years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  12251.  
  12252.  
  12253.  
  12254. &lt;p&gt;If she can maintain that high level then who knows, she might give Sabalenka a decent, competitive contest.&lt;/p&gt;
  12255.  
  12256.  
  12257.  
  12258. &lt;p&gt;Someone even shouted out “that’s the old Emma Raducanu” and there were glimpses of the standard that she set when she won the US Open four years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  12259.  
  12260.  
  12261.  
  12262. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/32855412/best-online-casinos-uk/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEST ONLINE CASINOS &amp;#8211; TOP SITES IN THE UK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12263.  
  12264.  
  12265.  
  12266. &lt;p&gt;Raducanu barely looked up at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/thomas-tuchel/&quot;&gt;Thomas Tuchel&lt;/a&gt; who was sitting in the Royal Box throughout her victory.&lt;/p&gt;
  12267.  
  12268.  
  12269.  
  12270. &lt;p&gt;She was supported in her box by coach Mark Petchey and a group of friends who have known her since she was a teenager growing up in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kent/&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt; and learning her trade in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tennis/&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12296.  
  12297.

  12363.  
  12364.  
  12365.

  12383.  
  12384.  
  12385.  
  12386. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I could easily get distracted. So, I had to focus on the tennis ball.”&lt;/p&gt;

  12457.  
  12458.  
  12459.  
  12460. &lt;p&gt;He has been acquitted of racketeering conspiracy, which carried a life sentence, and two counts of sex trafficking, the most serious crimes.&lt;/p&gt;
  12461.  
  12462.  
  12463.  
  12464. &lt;p&gt;Combs was arrested in September 2024 and has been behind bars ever since after multiple requests for bail were denied. &lt;/p&gt;
  12465.  
  12466.  
  12467.  
  12468. &lt;p&gt;While the star and his family celebrate, his accusers will not after a grueling seven-week trial including harrowing testimony from over 30 witnesses, including his former girlfriends and employees.&lt;/p&gt;
  12469.  
  12470.  
  12471.  
  12472. &lt;p&gt;A judge will decide whether or not he will be granted bail late on Wednesday, July 2. &lt;/p&gt;
  12473.  
  12474.  
  12475.  
  12476. &lt;p&gt;However, prosecutors look set to argue that detention is mandatory following a conviction of this kind.&lt;/p&gt;
  12477.  
  12478.  
  12479.  
  12480. &lt;p&gt;Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani, president of Los Angeles-based West Coast Trial Lawyers, who has been following the case since the beginning spoke to The U.S. Sun about the outcome. &lt;/p&gt;
  12481.  
  12482.  
  12483.  
  12484. &lt;p&gt;He said, &amp;#8220;Today&amp;#8217;s verdict is nothing less than a complete and total failure by the prosecution in what will go down as the most expensive prostitution trial in American history. &lt;/p&gt;
  12485.  
  12486.  
  12487.  
  12488. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Even though the Mann Act carries a potential 10-year maximum sentence, Diddy is going to get time served or close to it. His sentencing guideline range may be as low as 15-21 months. &lt;/p&gt;

  12539. &lt;p&gt;The U.S. Sun obtained a letter from the prosecution sent to Judge Arun Subramanian following the verdict on Wednesday. &lt;/p&gt;
  12540.  
  12541.  
  12542.  
  12543. &lt;p&gt;They say the guideline sentence for him is just 51 to 63 months [five and a half years maximum], and he has already been behind bars for nine months. &lt;/p&gt;
  12544.  
  12545.  
  12546.  
  12547. &lt;p&gt;It reads, &amp;#8220;The Government notes, however, that the Guidelines applicable at sentencing may be higher than this preliminary calculation. &lt;/p&gt;

  12568.  
  12569.  
  12570.  
  12571. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Government has not had adequate time to carefully&lt;br&gt;consider all potentially applicable Guidelines provisions.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12572.  
  12573.  
  12574.  
  12575. &lt;p&gt;He believes that the sex trafficking charges appeared weak because of the &amp;#8220;evidence of consent&amp;#8221; the jury was told throughout the trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  12576.  
  12577.  
  12578.  
  12579. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The prosecution’s only real chance of a victory was racketeering and to prove a non-sex related predicate act like kidnapping, arson, extortion, or bribery,&amp;#8221; Rahmani continued.  &lt;/p&gt;
  12580.  
  12581.  
  12582.  
  12583. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The fact that the jury even rejected that argument shows the many flaws in the prosecution&amp;#8217;s case.&lt;/p&gt;
  12584.  
  12585.  
  12586.  
  12587. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They failed to lean on and flip key members of Diddy&amp;#8217;s inner circle like KK and D-ROC.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12588.  
  12589.  
  12590.  
  12591. &lt;p&gt;The prosecution also didn&amp;#8217;t call any of the alleged sexual assault victims who have filed civil lawsuits against Combs, who did not have a romantic or professional relationship with him. &lt;/p&gt;
  12592.  
  12593.  
  12594.  
  12595. &lt;p&gt;Many celebrities who showed the alleged victims support throughout the trial have expressed their disappointment at the outcome of the trial. &lt;/p&gt;
  12596.  
  12597.  
  12598.  
  12599. &lt;p&gt;Rosie O&amp;#8217;Donnell shared on Instagram on Wednesday, &amp;#8220;I&lt;span&gt; guess a jury just never wants to believe that a woman stays because of power and coercion &amp;#8211; wow &amp;#8211; they just think women stay because what? money &amp;#8211; fame &amp;#8211; “they love the abuse” &amp;#8211; what a fucking joke &amp;#8211; this decision got me angry&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;#cassie.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12600.  
  12601.  
  12602.  
  12603. &lt;p&gt;New Mexico-based criminal defense attorney John W. Day also told The U.S. Sun he felt the verdict was a &amp;#8220;major loss for the prosecutors.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12604.  
  12605.  
  12606.  
  12607. &lt;p&gt;He said, &amp;#8220;They presented a tsunami of evidence against Diddy over many weeks, and the jurors did not buy their story.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12608.  
  12609.  
  12610.  
  12611. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The government was trying to convince the jury that RICO — which was designed to go after the Mafia and mob organized crime families — should be applied to baby oil and Diddy&amp;#8217;s high-flying lifestyle in the music business, and the jury just was not convinced.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12612.  
  12613.  
  12614.  
  12615. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The prosecutors believed that Cassie Ventura and Jane — the girlfriend who testified under an alias — would tell a story of victimization that the jury would feel empathy for, but they most likely just saw these witnesses as willing participants in the glamorous world of Diddy. &lt;/p&gt;
  12616.  
  12617.  
  12618.  
  12619. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In retrospect, the prosecutors aimed too high with the RICO charges.&lt;/p&gt;
  12620.  
  12621.  
  12622.  
  12623. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s likely to get some time in federal prison — maybe more than three or five years, but not the full 20 years he&amp;#8217;s facing after convictions on the two counts.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
  12624.  
  12625.  
  12626.  
  12627. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;At the end of the day, the prosecutors need a black box, like we have in airplanes to tell us what went wrong after a crash, to find out what failed with their case.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12628.  
  12629.  
  12630.  
  12631. &lt;p&gt;Combs&amp;#8217; legal team has written a letter, obtained by The U.S. Sun, to Judge&amp;nbsp;Subramanian&amp;nbsp;outlining the reasons why they say he should be released from custody. &lt;/p&gt;
  12632.  
  12633.  
  12634.  
  12635. &lt;p&gt;They argue he is not a flight risk and has been a model inmate and shown up to all court hearings, adding that &amp;#8220;reasonable conditions would ensure&amp;#8221; he would not have the ability to arrange to meet with escorts in the future. &lt;/p&gt;
  12636.  
  12637.  
  12638.  
  12639. &lt;p&gt;His defense also says the jury &amp;#8220;unambiguously rejected the government&amp;#8217;s allegations that Mr. Combs ran a years-long criminal enterprise or engaged in sex trafficking &amp;#8211; the core of the government&amp;#8217;s case.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12672.  
  12673. &lt;p&gt;TOM Cruise is developing a sequel to another of his 80s blockbuster hits, after the success of Top Gun Maverick. &lt;/p&gt;
  12674.  
  12675.  
  12676.  
  12677. &lt;p&gt;With all the adrenaline, spectacular stunts, humour and heart of the first blockbuster, Top Gun Maverick also had an all-action storyline of bombs and baddies to beat &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/james-bond/&quot;&gt;Bond&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12694.  
  12695.  
  12696.  
  12697. &lt;p&gt;And it was a great success, which is likely why the Hollywood star has now decided to develop another sequel to one of his 80s blockbuster films.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12698.  
  12699.  
  12700.  
  12701. &lt;p&gt;Jerry Bruckheimer, co-producer to the F1 movie, has confirmed that a sequel to Days of Thunder is in the pipeline, which will of course star Tom. &lt;/p&gt;
  12702.  
  12703.  
  12704.  
  12705. &lt;p&gt;Days of Thunder is a 1990 American sports action drama film which is still beloved by NASCAR fans today. &lt;/p&gt;
  12706.  
  12707.  
  12708.  
  12709. &lt;p&gt;There has been a lot of hope for a sequel, as well as speculation, after Tom, 62, uploaded a throwback photo on X to mark the 35th anniversary of working with late director Tony Scott.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12710.  
  12711.  
  12712.  
  12713. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about Days of Thunder 2 in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jerry said: “Well, there&amp;#8217;s always new technologies. There&amp;#8217;s always new ways to do things and to see things, and Tom is such a great individual &amp;#8211; comes up with phenomenal ideas.&lt;/p&gt;
  12714.  
  12715.  
  12716.  
  12717. &lt;p&gt;“So we&amp;#8217;ll have something really exciting for an audience once we pull it together.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12718.  
  12719.  
  12720.  
  12721. &lt;p&gt;Former NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon has also addressed a Days of Thunder 2 being made.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12722.  
  12723.  
  12724.  
  12725. &lt;p&gt;The chairman of Hendrick Motorsports said: “Let&amp;#8217;s do Days of Thunder 2, I am all for that. Tom Cruise has told me it&amp;#8217;s gonna happen, so let&amp;#8217;s make it happen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  12809. &lt;p&gt;A TANK top is a staple item in many wardrobes &amp;#8211; particularly during summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  12810.  
  12811.  
  12812.  
  12813. &lt;p&gt;And one fashion lover claims to have found the perfect one that “snatches in your fat”, and it currently just £7.31.&lt;/p&gt;

  12830.  
  12831.  
  12832.  
  12833. &lt;p&gt;In the clip, the shopper paired the soft-looking top with a pair of black satin shorts, but you could also wear it with jeans or a skirt.&lt;/p&gt;
  12834.  
  12835.  
  12836.  
  12837. &lt;p&gt;She shared: “I finally found a tank top that snatches your back fat, your boob fat, holds your boobs in place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12838.  
  12839.  
  12840.  
  12841. &lt;p&gt;“You don&amp;#8217;t need to wear it with a bra or breast padding, totally optional.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12842.  
  12843.  
  12844.  
  12845. &lt;p&gt;“Comes in four different colours, I just could not wait until they dropped the white&lt;/p&gt;
  12846.  
  12847.  
  12848.  
  12849. &lt;p&gt;“But I got it in red as well and I wore it on holiday multiple times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12850.  
  12851.  
  12852.  
  12853. &lt;p&gt;“I am obsessed, I can&amp;#8217;t wait for them to drop the white. Please drop it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12854.  
  12855.  
  12856.  
  12857. &lt;p&gt;Her video has racked up over 2,000 likes, and people seemed keen to &lt;span id=&quot;8df0b3bf-fa88-4f81-9525-5a9a4e1367e2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;snap&lt;/span&gt; the tank top up.&lt;/p&gt;
  12858.  
  12859.  
  12860.  
  12861. &lt;p&gt;One person wrote: “They are so fitted and snatched.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12862.  
  12863.  
  12864.  
  12865. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “You look so good,&amp;#8221; and a third commented: “I have this , it’s so good!”&lt;/p&gt;

  12893. &lt;p&gt;We previously shared how &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kylie-jenner/&quot;&gt;Kylie Jenner&lt;/a&gt;, Anya Taylor-Joy, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jennifer-lopez/&quot;&gt;Jennifer Lopez&lt;/a&gt; have&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/29793904/kylie-jenner-jennifer-lopez-anya-taylor-joy-style/&quot;&gt; all been spotted in the same wardrobe must-have.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12894.  
  12895.  
  12896.  
  12897. &lt;p&gt;The three donned a white tank top, which won&amp;#8217;t break the bank.&lt;/p&gt;

  12914.  
  12915.  
  12916.  
  12917. &lt;p&gt;The basic white tank also comes in gray for another neutral option, making it a closet essential.&lt;/p&gt;
  12918.  
  12919.  
  12920.  
  12921. &lt;p&gt;According to the brand, the cropped tank top is made of 100% cotton with a ribbed texture.&lt;/p&gt;
  12922.  
  12923.  
  12924.  
  12925. &lt;p&gt;Les Girls also recommends choosing your normal size due to a curve-hugging fit.&lt;/p&gt;
  12926.

  12930.  
  12931.  
  12932.  
  12933. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, J-Lo also rocked the simply chic style in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvQivhjtFjd&quot;&gt;viral reel&lt;/a&gt; as she sipped Delola, her line of ready-to-drink cocktails.&lt;/p&gt;
  12934.  
  12935.  
  12936.  
  12937. &lt;p&gt;Fans complimented her style in the comments section, with one saying: &amp;#8220;Yo this look on you, Jennifer, is by far the most fire look that I&amp;#8217;ve seen in my life.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12938.  
  12939.  
  12940.  
  12941. &lt;p&gt;Anya Taylor-Joy wore the Les Girls style in an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Jrs1dRKVb&quot;&gt;Instagram photo&lt;/a&gt; taken in Yosemite, making it a versatile choice, from lounging at home to going out in nature.&lt;/p&gt;

  12954. &lt;div&gt;
  12955. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fabulous&amp;#8217;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/clemmie-fieldsend/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend&lt;/a&gt; shares the biggest trends from the high street. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12956. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The East/West Bag &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12957. &lt;p&gt;Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s&amp;#8217; shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. &lt;/p&gt;
  12958. &lt;p&gt;In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. &lt;/p&gt;
  12959. &lt;p&gt;They’ve been on runway models&amp;#8217; arms at nearly ever designer show &amp;#8211; think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta &amp;#8211; and are hitting the high street now, too. &lt;/p&gt;
  12960. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powder pink &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12961. &lt;p&gt;Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of &lt;em&gt;Barbie &lt;/em&gt;in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. &lt;/p&gt;
  12962. &lt;p&gt;Pantone may say that it&amp;#8217;s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise!&amp;nbsp;From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12963. &lt;p&gt;If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12964. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The shell jacket &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12965. &lt;p&gt;The &amp;#8217;80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. &lt;/p&gt;
  12966. &lt;p&gt;We all know we&amp;#8217;re likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.&lt;/p&gt;
  12967. &lt;p&gt;Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12968. &lt;p&gt;Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!&lt;/p&gt;
  12969. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The turn-up jeans &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12970. &lt;p&gt;While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different. &lt;/p&gt;
  12971. &lt;p&gt;This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12972. &lt;p&gt;For this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good &amp;#8211; but only as it&amp;#8217;s just one single fold.&lt;/p&gt;
  12973. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peep-toe shoe &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12974. &lt;p&gt;Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12975. &lt;p&gt;After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. &lt;/p&gt;
  12976. &lt;p&gt;From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.&lt;/p&gt;
  12977. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sheer blouses &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12978. &lt;p&gt;See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life &amp;#8211; until now.&lt;/p&gt;
  12979. &lt;p&gt;Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S &amp;#8217;25 catwalks and M&amp;amp;S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. &lt;/p&gt;
  12980. &lt;p&gt;Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12981. &lt;/div&gt;
  12982. &lt;/div&gt;

  13041. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast with best mate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pete-wicks/&quot;&gt;Pete Wicks&lt;/a&gt;, Sam shared an update on his love life.&lt;/p&gt;
  13042.  
  13043.  
  13044.  
  13045. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m going to work on myself, no &lt;span id=&quot;819882ff-7f1e-428c-a1af-22922fe76d77&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt;. I&amp;#8217;m not ready. I realised that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13046.  
  13047.  
  13048.  
  13049. &lt;p&gt;The Sun exclusively revealed&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35577363/sam-thompson-samie-elishi-split/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Sam and Samie decided to go their separate ways&lt;/a&gt; weeks after first being spotted together on a cosy date.&lt;/p&gt;
  13050.  
  13051.  
  13052.  
  13053. &lt;p&gt;A source close to the former couple said: &amp;#8220;It was a mutual thing and there is no bad blood between them.&lt;/p&gt;
  13054.  
  13055.  
  13056.  
  13057. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They both just have really busy schedules, particularly&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;Sam&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who has been non-stop recently, and it was really hard to make it work. They&amp;#8217;re still good mates.&lt;/p&gt;
  13058.  
  13059.  
  13060.  
  13061. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a shame but sometimes things just don&amp;#8217;t work out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13062.  
  13063.  
  13064.  
  13065. &lt;p&gt;Sam and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/samie-elishi/&quot;&gt;Samie&lt;/a&gt; confirmed they were dating in early May when they were &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34792160/sam-thompson-samie-elishi-confirm-dating-rumours-kiss/&quot;&gt;spotted sharing a steamy kiss on a night out.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13066.  
  13067.  
  13068.  
  13069. &lt;p&gt;Sam was pictured snogging Samie and holding her face as they smooched outside&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34786858/olivia-attwood-stuns-red-sequin-mini-dress-celebrates-birthday/&quot;&gt;Olivia Attwood’s 34th birthday bash.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13070.  
  13071.  
  13072.  
  13073. &lt;p&gt;They were also snapped walking arm in arm afterwards and he tenderly placed a hand on her waist.&lt;/p&gt;
  13074.  
  13075.  
  13076.  
  13077. &lt;p&gt;While the pair didn&amp;#8217;t share their relationship on social media, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34935680/sam-thompson-breaks-silence-awesome-girlfriend-samie-elishi/&quot;&gt;Sam did praise Samie&lt;/a&gt; on his podcast.&lt;/p&gt;

  13101. &lt;p&gt;Grilled by his best mate Pete, he was relatively tight-lipped but said: &amp;#8220;What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. &lt;/p&gt;
  13102.  
  13103.  
  13104.  
  13105. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Really, really lovely.

  13106.  
  13107.  
  13108.  
  13109. &lt;p&gt;Sam&amp;#8217;s romance with Samie followed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32562811/sam-thompson-zara-mcdermott-split-after-five-years-together/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;his split from long-term girlfriend &lt;span id=&quot;91d70937-77b1-4724-905e-a6893ba50d05&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Zara&lt;/span&gt; McDermott.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13110.  
  13111.  
  13112.  
  13113. &lt;p&gt;The pair had been together for five years before breaking up at the start of this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  13114.  
  13115.  
  13116.  
  13117. &lt;p&gt;A source close to the couple told &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14241121/sam-thompson-zara-mcdermott-split.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;MailOnline&lt;/a&gt; at the time: &amp;#8220;Sam and Zara have ended their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  13118.  
  13119.  
  13120.  
  13121. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  13122.  
  13123.  
  13124.  
  13125. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  13126.  
  13127.  
  13128.  
  13129. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it&amp;#8217;s just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13130.  
  13131.  
  13132.  
  13133. &lt;p&gt;Zara has since &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35650787/louis-tomlinson-zara-mcdermott-instagram-official-glastonbury/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;moved on to a new relationship&lt;/a&gt; with former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/one-direction/&quot;&gt;One Direction&lt;/a&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/louis-tomlinson/&quot;&gt;Louis Tomlinson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13161. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A LITTLE-KNOWN pizza chain is quietly expanding &amp;#8211; with four new locations set to open across the UK.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  13174.  
  13175.  
  13176.  
  13177. &lt;p&gt;Already well-established in King’s Cross, London, the company is now expanding to major cities including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/birmingham/&quot;&gt;Birmingham&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bristol/&quot;&gt;Bristol&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13178.  
  13179.  
  13180.  
  13181. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;f3deb927-fb10-4e3b-8843-24bfe8bb0e7f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Birmingham&lt;/span&gt; branch will open in the busy Grand Central &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/transport/&quot;&gt;transport&lt;/a&gt; hub at New Street station.&lt;/p&gt;
  13182.  
  13183.  
  13184.  
  13185. &lt;p&gt;Manchester’s new pizzeria will span two floors in Deansgate, featuring a Masterclass kitchen like the one in Canary Wharf. &lt;/p&gt;
  13186.  
  13187.  
  13188.  
  13189. &lt;p&gt;Pizza Pilgrims reported record revenue of £34.4m for the year ending June 2024 &amp;#8211; a 20 percent increase on the previous year’s £28.7 million. &lt;/p&gt;
  13190.  
  13191.  
  13192.  
  13193. &lt;p&gt;Before special costs, the company made a profit of £2.9 million &amp;#8211; up 21 percent from £2.4 million the year before. &lt;/p&gt;
  13194.  
  13195.  
  13196.  
  13197. &lt;p&gt;But Pizza Pilgrims posted a small loss of £100,000 after exceptional costs, mainly due to the closure of its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oxford/&quot;&gt;Oxford&lt;/a&gt; site in January 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  13198.  
  13199.  
  13200.  
  13201. &lt;p&gt;The chain said the Oxford pizzeria was closed as part of &amp;#8220;a strategic decision to strengthen the overall portfolio&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13202.  
  13203.  
  13204.  
  13205. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dominos-pizza/&quot;&gt;Domino&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; fans have compared the two pizza chains before, with some ranking Pizza Pilgrims higher.&lt;/p&gt;
  13206.  
  13207.  
  13208.  
  13209. &lt;p&gt;One wrote on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;These [Pizza Pilgrims] create their pizzas using only the best ingredients.&lt;/p&gt;

  13237. &lt;p&gt;Pizza Pilgrims began in 2012 in a small pizza van in Soho, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;, after the brothers completed a 30-stop &amp;#8220;pizza pilgrimage&amp;#8221; across &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/Italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13238.  
  13239.  
  13240.  
  13241. &lt;p&gt;The founders aimed to offer simple, authentic pizzas without overcomplicating the menu. &lt;/p&gt;
  13242.  
  13243.  
  13244.  
  13245. &lt;p&gt;The brand specialises in Neapolitan-style pizza cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven. &lt;/p&gt;

  13565. &lt;p&gt;A MUM on Universal Credits has asked strangers online for help “safety-proofing” her whole flat for her and her daughter.&lt;/p&gt;
  13566.  
  13567.  
  13568.  
  13569. &lt;p&gt;Rhiannon put up a video asking users to watch her entire video as it would help net her cash through &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/17575062/how-join-tiktok-creator-fund/&quot;&gt;TikTok’s Creator Fund.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  13578.  
  13579.  
  13580.  
  13581. &lt;p&gt;In July 2020, the social media giant launched the Creator Fund to allow its users to earn &lt;span id=&quot;1a177934-4f03-492e-a349-c5ae80c9bd56&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt; by raking in views.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13582.  
  13583.  
  13584.  
  13585. &lt;p&gt;Generally speaking, &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.hootsuite.com/tiktok-creator-fund&quot;&gt;according to HootSuite&lt;/a&gt;, TikTok Creator Fund &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot;&gt;influencers&lt;/a&gt; going viral with a million views a month may be able to add a mere $40 (£30) to their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-banking/&quot;&gt;bank account&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13586.  
  13587.  
  13588.  
  13589. &lt;p&gt;However, Rhiannon was not put off and made her plea in a video on her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@rhiannonlouisexo/video/7502810678026063126&quot;&gt;@rhiannonlouisexo &lt;/a&gt;account.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13590.  
  13591.  
  13592.  
  13593. &lt;p&gt;She shared: “Please stay for this whole minute video, as I&amp;#8217;m trying to make money through the Creator Fund to basically safety-proof my whole flat.&lt;/p&gt;
  13594.  
  13595.  
  13596.  
  13597. &lt;p&gt;“Because I have a three-year-old, and she&amp;#8217;s a climber and she&amp;#8217;s very accident-prone, and I&amp;#8217;m gonna show you the things that I need to buy for my flat.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13598.  
  13599.  
  13600.  
  13601. &lt;p&gt;The first item on her wish list was a baby gate, because although she already has one on her daughter’s room, she needs one for the kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  13602.  
  13603.  
  13604.  
  13605. &lt;p&gt;Rhiannon explained that at the moment they have to take it off and put it back on, which is tricky given the doors are different sizes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13606.  
  13607.  
  13608.  
  13609. &lt;p&gt;The second item she wants is a door lock for her bedroom, and she added that there are lots of items in there she doesn’t want her daughter getting hold of.&lt;/p&gt;
  13610.  
  13611.  
  13612.  
  13613. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;e82d0f97-865f-42cb-acfc-d7105af35c6a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Next&lt;/span&gt; up were knob covers, and Rhiannon said: “These are sort of just as a safety precaution, because I&amp;#8217;m like an overthinker, like majorly.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13614.  
  13615.  
  13616.  
  13617. &lt;p&gt;The next safety item she wants is window locks. &lt;/p&gt;

  13652.  
  13653. &lt;p&gt;Her video has racked up 17,000 views, but not everyone was too supportive in the comments.&lt;/p&gt;

  13656.  
  13657. &lt;p&gt;One said: “In other words, please someone buy it for me. You are hilarious.”&lt;/p&gt;

  13659.  
  13660.  
  13661. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “got enough money for makeup by the looks of it, which aint cheap, begging for money.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13662.  
  13663.  
  13664.  
  13665. &lt;p&gt;However, one commented: “well done you for doing your best. it&amp;#8217;s not easy.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13666.  
  13667.  
  13668.  
  13669. &lt;p&gt;Rhiannon responded: “I’m not asking for anyone’s money. I’m asking for people to watch the video in order to make money. Bore off.”&lt;/p&gt;

  13678.  
  13679.  
  13680.  
  13681. &lt;p&gt;Although the revenue may seem lucrative, there are several requirements &lt;span id=&quot;60f69607-3b67-401e-9dcf-d0ba72370dfc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/span&gt; users need to be able to provide to successfully apply, such as being a legal resident of the US, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/germany/&quot;&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/france/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sainsburys/&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13682.

  13684.  
  13685. &lt;p&gt;You also need to be at least 18 years of age, boast 10k authentic &amp;#8211; not purchased &amp;#8211; followers, and the videos have received at least 100k authentic views in the 30 days prior to applying, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/tiktok-creator-fund-explained-how-to-join-75090/&quot;&gt;Backstage reported&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13686.

  13689. &lt;p&gt;According to Chris Kubbernus, CEO of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.kubbco.com/&quot;&gt;Kubbco&lt;/a&gt;, a creative social media agency, hitting the required 10k-strong fanbase will most likely take 50–100 pieces of content, unless you already have a significant audience from another platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  13690.  
  13691.  
  13692.  
  13693. &lt;p&gt;Several factors come into play when determining what kind of money creators receive, such as the number of views, view authenticity, other ways of engagement, including likes, comments and shares, as well as the creator’s location.&lt;/p&gt;

  13704. &lt;div&gt;
  13705. &lt;p&gt;While it is not a grant or ad revenue program, the Creator Fund provides payment to qualified TikTokers based on a &amp;#8220;variety of factors&amp;#8221; across their content.&lt;/p&gt;

  13736. &lt;p&gt;LORRAINE Stanley looked incredible as she showed off her impressive five stone weight loss during a dog walk.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13737.  
  13738.  
  13739.  
  13740. &lt;p&gt;The 49-year-old actress &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35496468/eastenders-lorraine-stanley-looks-slimmer-than-ever-weight-loss/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;recently overhauled her body&lt;/a&gt; and has been refreshingly honest about how she shed the pounds &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/34924858/lorraine-stanley-gastric-sleeve-weight-loss-5-stone/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;confessing to having a gastric sleeve operation&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

The actress, who is preparing for her wedding to long-term partner Mark Perez this summer, looked in great shape as she took her four-legged friend Betty Boo for a stroll. Lorraine played Karen Taylor in EastEnders from 2017 to 2024, but looked a far cry from her scruffy on screen character. She recently revealed how she had overhauled her diet and started doing daily workouts.

  13753.  
  13754.  
  13755.  
  13756. &lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/eastenders/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;EastEnders&lt;/a&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lorraine-stanley/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lorraine&lt;/a&gt; flaunted the results of her hard work while making the most of the heatwave as she took her pooch for a stroll. &lt;/p&gt;
  13757.  
  13758.  
  13759.  
  13760. &lt;p&gt;Lorraine looked stylish in a blue dress that was nipped in at the waist and fell to just above the knee.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13761.  
  13762.  
  13763.  
  13764. &lt;p&gt;She covered up in a pair of huge sunglasses and teamed her outfit with some casual flip flops.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13765.  
  13766.  
  13767.  
  13768. &lt;p&gt;It was revealed in July 2023 that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/23247815/eastenders-lorraine-stanley-axed-soap/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lorraine was being written out of EastEnders&lt;/a&gt; after playing iconic character Karen Taylor for seven years. &lt;/p&gt;
  13769.  
  13770.  
  13771.  
  13772. &lt;p&gt;She later &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24278774/eastenders-lorraine-stanley-karen-taylor-breaks-silence-axed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;opened up about her sudden exit from the soap&lt;/a&gt;, confessing to experiencing a “mix of emotions” after receiving the news. &lt;/p&gt;
  13773.  
  13774.  
  13775.  
  13776. &lt;p&gt;Lorraine told The Sun: “I was sad, it was a mix of emotions, it&amp;#8217;s sad but it&amp;#8217;s exciting as now I can go and do what I want.&lt;/p&gt;
  13777.  
  13778.  
  13779.  
  13780. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You can get a bit relaxed there and a bit comfortable. So I want to be out of my comfort zone.&lt;/p&gt;
  13781.  
  13782.  
  13783.  
  13784. &lt;p&gt;“I just want people to remember her as the best mum on the square, a heart of gold, she&amp;#8217;d give you her last fiver and would do anything for her kids &amp;#8211; a bit like myself.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13785.  
  13786.  
  13787.  
  13788. &lt;p&gt;But it wasn’t long before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27310126/eastenders-lorraine-stanley-first-role-axed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lorraine landed a huge new role, in gritty British film Departures&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13789.  
  13790.  
  13791.  
  13792. &lt;p&gt;She starred alongside fellow soap legends &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hollyoaks/&quot;&gt;Hollyoaks&lt;/a&gt; hunk &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24968509/hollyoaks-david-tag-celebs-go-dating-damage-career/&quot;&gt;David Tag&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/coronation-street/&quot;&gt;Coronation Street&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32621154/coronation-street-celebrity-hunted-kimbely-hart-simpson-bikini/&quot;&gt;Kimberly Hart-Simpson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13816. &lt;p&gt;Last week &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35565804/eastenders-lorraine-stanley-hits-back-troll-grandma/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lorraine was forced to hit back after a cruel troll branded her a &amp;#8220;grandma&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; following her incredible weight loss. &lt;/p&gt;
  13817.  
  13818.  
  13819.  
  13820. &lt;p&gt;In a new TikTok video, she danced with daughter Nancy and even included &amp;#8216;#motherdaughter&amp;#8217; on her post. &lt;/p&gt;
  13821.  
  13822.  
  13823.  
  13824. &lt;p&gt;That didn’t stop one person from making a savage assumption, when they wrote: “Is that your granddaughter?” &lt;/p&gt;
  13825.  
  13826.  
  13827.  
  13828. &lt;p&gt;But actress Lorraine was quick to hit back: “Daughter. #motherdaughter is a bit of a clue.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13861. &lt;p&gt;TOMORROW marks 30 years since Foo Fighters dropped their debut album, and they’ve just released their first single since 2023 to celebrate.&lt;/p&gt;
  13862.  
  13863.  
  13864.  
  13865. &lt;p&gt;They surprised fans yesterday by releasing Today’s Song, which is full of optimism about change in the &lt;span id=&quot;9e4483c5-c7eb-427e-a49b-507eb13002e4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; and personal ­evolution for the band.&lt;/p&gt;

  13874.  
  13875.  
  13876.  
  13877. &lt;p&gt;But it is the first we’ve heard from married frontman &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dave-grohl/&quot;&gt;Dave Grohl&lt;/a&gt; since he shocked fans last ­September by revealing he had fathered a daughter with another woman.&lt;/p&gt;
  13878.  
  13879.  
  13880.  
  13881. &lt;p&gt;It seems he has patched things up with his actress wife of 22 years, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/30386280/dave-grohl-called-wife-jordyn-love-child/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jordyn Blum&lt;/a&gt;, after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35662062/dave-grohl-celebrities-wimbledon-rain-thomas-tuchel-hodgson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;they were pictured together&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  13882.  
  13883.  
  13884.  
  13885. &lt;p&gt;At the same time as the song dropped, Dave released a ­letter talking about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/foo-fighters/&quot;&gt;Foo Fighters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13886.  
  13887.  
  13888.  
  13889. &lt;p&gt;After writing about how the band formed during &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/thanksgiving/&quot;&gt;Thanksgiving&lt;/a&gt; in 1994, he explained: “Over the years, we’ve had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak. Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat.&lt;/p&gt;
  13890.  
  13891.  
  13892.  
  13893. &lt;p&gt;“We have mended broken bones and broken &lt;span id=&quot;b524d14b-a19a-4b57-b521-2545a145194b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hearts&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13894.  
  13895.  
  13896.  
  13897. &lt;p&gt;“But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what.&lt;/p&gt;
  13898.  
  13899.  
  13900.  
  13901. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Anthemic vocals&lt;/h2&gt;

  13903.  
  13904.  
  13905. &lt;p&gt;“Because in life, you just can’t go it alone.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13906.  
  13907.  
  13908.  
  13909. &lt;p&gt;The track opens with Dave singing: “I woke today screaming for change, I knew that I must.&lt;/p&gt;
  13910.  
  13911.  
  13912.  
  13913. &lt;p&gt;“So, here lies a shadow, &lt;span id=&quot;3c881d87-a588-45bf-80ee-9ce731a1f7ba&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;ashes&lt;/span&gt; to ashes, dust into dust.&lt;/p&gt;
  13914.  
  13915.

  13978.  
  13979.  
  13980.  
  13981. &lt;p&gt;BEFORE &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cardiff/&quot;&gt;Cardiff&lt;/a&gt; is overrun with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oasis/&quot;&gt;Oasis&lt;/a&gt; fans, thrash metallers will today descend on Blackweir Fields for the first of Slayer&amp;#8217;s three huge shows in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  13982.  
  13983.  
  13984.  
  13985. &lt;p&gt;And guitarist Kerry King, who will also perform at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ozzy-osbourne/&quot;&gt;Ozzy Osbourne&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s Back To The Beginning show in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/birmingham/&quot;&gt;Birmingham&lt;/a&gt; on Saturday, before Slayer play Finsbury Park the following night, tells me the band will be hitting the bottle once the shows end.&lt;/p&gt;
  13986.  
  13987.  
  13988.  
  13989. &lt;p&gt;“I turned 60 last year, but I still have a good time,” Kerry says, in an exclusive chat.&lt;/p&gt;
  13990.  
  13991.  
  13992.  
  13993. &lt;p&gt;“I still don’t drink before I play because I feel like I owe the fans the best they can see. There’s no fun until after the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  13994.  
  13995.  
  13996.  
  13997. &lt;p&gt;“There’s still vodka on the rider, there’s still tequila, there’s still Jagermeister and there’s still &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/beer/&quot;&gt;beer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13998.  
  13999.  
  14000.  
  14001. &lt;p&gt;“But it’s not anybody’s mission to drink it all that night like maybe it used to be.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14002.  
  14003.  
  14004.  
  14005. &lt;p&gt;Kerry is looking forward to the band’s shows as he says there is something special about British fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  14006.  
  14007.  
  14008.  
  14009. &lt;p&gt;He explains: “I’m not saying it doesn’t happen in America, but the UK crowd – it’s going to be a frenzy, like, controlled chaos.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14010.  
  14011.  
  14012.  
  14013. &lt;p&gt;Kerry has been sworn to secrecy by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sharon-osbourne/&quot;&gt;Sharon Osbourne&lt;/a&gt; about what &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/black-sabbath/&quot;&gt;Black Sabbath&lt;/a&gt; song Slayer will ­perform on Saturday, but he says he would have moved heaven and &lt;span id=&quot;49bc37b7-5620-4888-a17b-327260de6558&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt; to make Ozzy’s final show.&lt;/p&gt;
  14014.  
  14015.  
  14016.  
  14017. &lt;p&gt;“To be part of that line-up with some of the greatest bands ever in hard rock and metal, it’s surreal,” Kerry says.&lt;/p&gt;
  14018.  
  14019.  
  14020.  
  14021. &lt;p&gt;“I’m excited to see what Metallica does, what &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/28461670/pantera-uk-tour-dates-2025-download-festival/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Pantera &lt;/a&gt;does, what Lzzy Hale does.&lt;/p&gt;
  14022.  
  14023.  
  14024.  
  14025. &lt;p&gt;“I’m looking forward to Alice In Chains and I know K.K. Downing is doing something.&lt;/p&gt;
  14026.  
  14027.  
  14028.  
  14029. &lt;p&gt;“I’ll be fully engaged as a fan right up until it’s time for me to warm up and go on the stage.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14030.  
  14031.  
  14032.  
  14033. &lt;p&gt;Since their debut in 1981, Slayer have become one of the most influential thrash metal groups on the planet.&lt;/p&gt;
  14034.  
  14035.  
  14036.  
  14037. &lt;p&gt;But their decision to push boundaries with their lyrics and album art – which has covered everything from serial killers, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/religion/&quot;&gt;religion&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/terrorism/&quot;&gt;terrorism&lt;/a&gt; to fascism – has seen some of their albums banned in certain countries.&lt;/p&gt;
  14038.  
  14039.  
  14040.  
  14041. &lt;p&gt;While Slayer have confirmed they won’t be releasing new material, Kerry has been hard at work on the follow-up to his first solo record, From Hell I Rise, which came out last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  14042.  
  14043.  
  14044.  
  14045. &lt;p&gt;And he admits the changing nature of the world, and how easily people are offended now, does affect the way he writes.&lt;/p&gt;
  14046.  
  14047.  
  14048.  
  14049. &lt;p&gt;Kerry explains: “All I can speak of is in ­America, because that’s where I live and what I know, and it seems like every day the government tries to take away things. What was OK to say five years ago, now it’s not. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/freedom-of-speech/&quot;&gt;Freedom of speech&lt;/a&gt; has changed over the past few years.&lt;/p&gt;
  14050.  
  14051.  
  14052.  
  14053. &lt;p&gt;“When I write my new album, I’m not sure what I’m going to try to address because I’m not sure what they’re going to try to take me to jail for.”&lt;/p&gt;

  14078.  
  14079.  
  14080.  
  14081. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, she said: “People do really love to joke about the fact that I’m always on holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
  14082.  
  14083.  
  14084.  
  14085. &lt;p&gt;“I’m not always on holiday – I just make everything I do feel like a holiday.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14086.

  14106.  
  14107.

  14110.  
  14111.  
  14112.  
  14113. &lt;p&gt;On how it came about, Grace Chatto said: “We met Lloyiso in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/south-africa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Johannesburg &lt;/a&gt;a few years ago. I met his friends, The Imports, who invited me to their house to write some songs.&lt;/p&gt;
  14114.  
  14115.  
  14116.  
  14117. &lt;p&gt;“I was supposed to fly home but I decided to stay, impulsively. Lloyiso walked in and just sang, at the top of his lungs. It was so moving – I’ve never ever heard anything like it in my life.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14118.

  14130.  
  14131.  
  14132.  
  14133. &lt;p&gt;Just hours before, he had been partying at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glastonbury/&quot;&gt;Glastonbury&lt;/a&gt; and checking out sets from singer/songwriter Beth Gibbons and The Maccabees.&lt;/p&gt;

  14157. &lt;p&gt;In an exclusive chat backstage following her set at American Express Presents BST Hyde Park, Willow told me her fellow Yank was whisking her off on a romantic holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
  14158.  
  14159.  
  14160.  
  14161. &lt;p&gt;“We’re actually going to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/paris/&quot;&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt; tomorrow,” Willow said. &lt;/p&gt;
  14162.  
  14163.  
  14164.  
  14165. &lt;p&gt;“He’s really excited to show me around. I have three days off – so three days of bliss – because I don’t have much time over the &lt;span id=&quot;061386c8-d3a1-4b52-be0f-3850a0a6344e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; three months, so we’ve locked it in.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14166.  
  14167.  
  14168.  
  14169. &lt;p&gt;The pair were VIP guests at country star Zach Bryan&amp;#8217;s BST after-show party and were spotted hanging out at the nearby Golden Lion pub on ­Sunday with their pals.&lt;/p&gt;

  14172.  
  14173. &lt;p&gt;Opening up about how she prepared before going on stage, Willow let me in on her secret, explaining: “I love regular Lays potato chips because if you eat those right before you go on, the &lt;span id=&quot;ef9ba244-93c1-4ce9-af41-57e69318ad0c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;oil&lt;/span&gt; coats your throat and it helps your voice.&lt;/p&gt;
  14174.  
  14175.  
  14176.  
  14177. &lt;p&gt;“I have that with hummus.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14178.  
  14179.

  14181. &lt;p&gt;I’ll give that a try next time I’m doing drunken karaoke.&lt;/p&gt;

  14194.  
  14195.  
  14196.  
  14197. &lt;p&gt;SHE has just released a single called Heat and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rita-ora/&quot;&gt;Rita Ora&lt;/a&gt; was dressed for just that as the UK basked in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/heatwave/&quot;&gt;heatwave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14198.  
  14199.  
  14200.  
  14201. &lt;p&gt;The Brit singer wore tiny &lt;span id=&quot;f3071953-289f-4d40-864a-1248df58de53&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; and red shorts, along with white heels and pink shades, as she posed for Music Numero magazine.&lt;/p&gt;
  14202.  
  14203.  
  14204.  
  14205. &lt;p&gt;And on the cover, perched on a motorbike, right, Rita looked stunning in black hotpants and a matching hooded crop top.&lt;/p&gt;
  14206.  
  14207.  
  14208.  
  14209. &lt;p&gt;The trendy shoot comes ahead of her fourth album, the follow-up to 2023’s You &amp;amp; I, which it is hoped will be out this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  14210.  
  14211.  
  14212.  
  14213. &lt;p&gt;Of the record, she said: “The album is brave and in your face. It’s ignorant without being arrogant.&lt;/p&gt;
  14214.  
  14215.  
  14216.  
  14217. &lt;p&gt;“There is a world of ignorance where you are confident but happy and really proud of what you’re doing, but without coming across as arrogant and rude.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14218.  
  14219.  
  14220.  
  14221. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;PETE HITS THE ROOF IN LOFTY GIG&lt;/h2&gt;
  14222.  
  14223.  
  14224.

  14226.  
  14227.  
  14228.  
  14229. &lt;p&gt;PETE DOHERTY embraced the hottest day of the year on Tuesday by performing a live gig in central &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/virgin-radio/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Virgin Radio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14230.  
  14231.  
  14232.  
  14233. &lt;p&gt;He played a belting set for its Live At The Top Of &lt;span id=&quot;e96cb7c0-2ab3-4ce9-98fa-b01ed3be70a6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;The Tower&lt;/span&gt; segment, on the 14th floor roof terrace of The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;News&lt;/a&gt; Building – where Virgin and The Sun are based.&lt;/p&gt;
  14234.  
  14235.  
  14236.  
  14237. &lt;p&gt;And my team got a surprise at &lt;span id=&quot;d01b6c32-65a7-4727-9e24-000253370e7a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the office&lt;/span&gt; canteen a few hours before his set, where they found the star topless and getting some grub with one of his kids. &lt;/p&gt;
  14238.  
  14239.  
  14240.  
  14241. &lt;p&gt;It came just 48 hours after Pete and his band The Libertines performed on Glasto’s Pyramid Stage, so the intimate rooftop gig was a very special moment for fans who managed to nab tickets. &lt;/p&gt;
  14242.  
  14243.  
  14244.  
  14245. &lt;p&gt; Stay tuned to Virgin for your chance to get into future gigs.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  14283.  
  14284.  
  14285.  
  14286. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Where is the hotel?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14287.  
  14288.  
  14289.  
  14290. &lt;p&gt;The Manor House is tucked into East Cheshire&amp;#8217;s tranquil countryside in Alsager, a quiet market town.&lt;/p&gt;
  14291.  
  14292.  
  14293.  
  14294. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s about an hour&amp;#8217;s drive from Manchester and Birmingham. Crewe railway station, the nearest train station, is a 17-minute drive away.&lt;/p&gt;
  14295.  
  14296.  
  14297.  
  14298. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What is the hotel like?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14299.  
  14300.  
  14301.  
  14302. &lt;p&gt;The hotel is charming countryside property in the heart of east Cheshire with a fantastic indoor and outdoor spa, set in a stunning country garden.&lt;/p&gt;
  14303.  
  14304.  
  14305.  
  14306. &lt;p&gt;It features an award-winning spa, cosy bar, and a restaurant serving excellent and healthy food.&lt;/p&gt;
  14307.  
  14308.  
  14309.  
  14310. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What are the rooms like?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14311.  
  14312.  
  14313.  
  14314. &lt;p&gt;There are 50 rooms in total &amp;#8211; I stayed in a Manor House King, which was very spacious with a large bathroom, a desk, an espresso machine, plus robes and slippers.&lt;/p&gt;
  14315.  
  14316.  
  14317.  
  14318. &lt;p&gt;Each room has a similar spacious and elegant feel, with traditional furnishing and bright interiors.&lt;/p&gt;
  14319.  
  14320.  
  14321.  
  14322. &lt;p&gt;Luxurious bed options include the Manor House King, the Manor House Twin and the Four Poster.&lt;/p&gt;
  14323.  
  14324.  
  14325.  
  14326. &lt;p&gt;Rooms start from £97.01 per night. Spa days start from £120pp, with overnight spa breaks starting from £255 per room. For more information, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.manorhousealsager.com&quot;&gt;click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14327.  
  14328.  
  14329.  
  14330. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What is there to eat or drink there?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14331.  
  14332.  
  14333.  
  14334. &lt;p&gt;No need to head out for a meal &amp;#8211; The Manor house has something for everyone at its AA Rosette restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;
  14335.  
  14336.  
  14337.  
  14338. &lt;p&gt;At dinner, I had English beef filet, which they suggested pairing with La Barbe Merlot &amp;#8211; it was a match made in heaven.&lt;/p&gt;

  14371.  
  14372.  
  14373.  
  14374. &lt;p&gt;My partner had roast pork, which looked beautiful and full of flavour.&lt;/p&gt;
  14375.  
  14376.  
  14377.  
  14378. &lt;p&gt; The hotel serves breakfast and dinner in its Stables restaurant with a small, high-quality menu. &lt;/p&gt;
  14379.  
  14380.  
  14381.  
  14382. &lt;p&gt;Fry-ups are generous while other options include Scotch pancakes, avocado and salmon and French toast.&lt;/p&gt;
  14383.  
  14384.  
  14385.  
  14386. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What else is there to do at the hotel?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14387.  
  14388.  
  14389.  
  14390. &lt;p&gt;The spa as the main attraction here, with its outdoor relaxation rooms, steam room and an amazing metal plunge bath &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35578686/swim-up-bar-first-uk-ibiza-dj/&quot;&gt;as well as the UK&amp;#8217;s first swim up bar.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14391.  
  14392.  
  14393.  
  14394. &lt;p&gt;I loved popping in and out of the herbal saunas, salt steam chamber and into the tin plunge bath, ending in the Greenhouse relaxation lounge to read my book. &lt;/p&gt;
  14395.  
  14396.  
  14397.  
  14398. &lt;p&gt;Top-notch therapists are also ready to carry out treatments.&lt;/p&gt;
  14399.  
  14400.  
  14401.  
  14402. &lt;p&gt;And if you&amp;#8217;re up for adventure, there&amp;#8217;s plenty to discover in the surrounding neighbourhoods of Staffordshire and Cheshire. There&amp;#8217;s also easy access to the Peak District National Park, just a 30 minute drive away from The Manor House.&lt;/p&gt;
  14403.  
  14404.  
  14405.  
  14406. &lt;p&gt;Immerse yourself in some pottery with Emma Bridgewater or Burleigh pottery, or treat yourself to some classic retail therapy at the nearby Trentham shopping village.&lt;/p&gt;
  14407.  
  14408.  
  14409.  
  14410. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Is the hotel family friendly?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14411.  
  14412.  
  14413.  
  14414. &lt;p&gt;Yes, the hotel offers select rooms for families, with specific rooms available to accommodate those with children ages 12 and under.&lt;/p&gt;
  14415.  
  14416.  
  14417.  
  14418. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Is there access for guests with disabilities?&lt;/h2&gt;
  14419.  
  14420.  
  14421.  
  14422. &lt;p&gt;Yes, the Manor House are committed to providing inclusive services.&lt;/p&gt;

  14457. &lt;p&gt;TAI WOFFINDEN has admitted he got to see “what it looked like if I was dead” after coming out of a coma.&lt;/p&gt;
  14458.  
  14459.  
  14460.  
  14461. &lt;p&gt;The five-time world champion has opened up further on his ordeal in the immediate aftermath of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35311706/speedway-tai-woffinden-crash-coma/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;horror crash in Poland on March 30&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14474.  
  14475.  
  14476.  
  14477. &lt;p&gt;Woffy, 34, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34476481/tai-woffinden-walks-coma-injuries-speedway-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;broke over &lt;strong&gt;FIFTEEN&lt;/strong&gt; bones&lt;/a&gt; and was placed in an induced coma after three major operations to save his life.&lt;/p&gt;
  14478.  
  14479.  
  14480.  
  14481. &lt;p&gt;The crash happened when Woffinden collided with a team-mate and hit a fence behind a protective barrier.&lt;/p&gt;
  14482.  
  14483.  
  14484.  
  14485. &lt;p&gt;It left him with a double break in his right leg, a broken back, broken shoulder, multiple broken ribs, a punctured lung, fractured arm and extensive blood loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  14486.  
  14487.  
  14488.  
  14489. &lt;p&gt;The Great Britain hero and wife Faye revealed more details on his recovery and he simply “does not know” if he’ll ever return to the track.&lt;/p&gt;
  14490.  
  14491.  
  14492.  
  14493. &lt;p&gt;Woffinden, who is the country&amp;#8217;s most-decorated rider after winning Grand Prix world titles in 2013, 2015 and 2018, has also spoken for the first time to The Sun about the acceleration of his DJ career which he is focused on while out of action.&lt;/p&gt;
  14494.  
  14495.  
  14496.  
  14497. &lt;p&gt;The Scunthorpe-born racer is teaming up with a massive dance superstar Oliver Heldens, who was the DJ for Man City’s title celebrations and is helping &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-grealish/&quot;&gt;Jack Grealish&lt;/a&gt; learn the trade.&lt;/p&gt;
  14498.  
  14499.  
  14500.  
  14501. &lt;p&gt;The track released this week, The Orange Room, derives from the iconic movie Clockwork Orange.&lt;/p&gt;
  14502.  
  14503.  
  14504.  
  14505. &lt;p&gt;On his &lt;span id=&quot;9c47acbe-fcd8-41a4-ac0d-686971222340&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;, he said: “Honestly I don’t know what the plan is moving forward or if I’m going ride again.&lt;/p&gt;
  14506.  
  14507.  
  14508.  
  14509. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14510.  
  14511.  
  14512.  
  14513. &lt;p&gt;“We are currently selling up in the UK. We don’t know where we are going to live &lt;span id=&quot;226fd40f-2847-48f1-bdb8-a3c0ee612f89&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year, we don’t know if we are going to be in &lt;span id=&quot;098e25be-5542-4107-b90e-f049101e9292&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/span&gt; or if I’m going to ride again.&lt;/p&gt;
  14514.  
  14515.  
  14516.  
  14517. &lt;p&gt;“I feel like I’d like to sit on my bike at some point and maybe do a few laps but I just don’t know.&lt;/p&gt;

  14544.  
  14545. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve got a goal in my head to be back as fast as I can but that’s just something I need to chase, to focus on and give me that drive. The reality is I don&amp;#8217;t know what’s &lt;span id=&quot;2f30a660-763d-4d6f-ae9d-e28150976801&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; for me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14546.  
  14547.  
  14548.  
  14549. &lt;p&gt;Woffinden was due to get further MRI scan tests back at the start of the week which will clarify whether he needs another operation on the humerus in his arm.&lt;/p&gt;
  14550.  
  14551.  
  14552.  
  14553. &lt;p&gt;He also revealed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34165820/tai-woffinden-health-update-speedway-crash-coma/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;horrifying details&lt;/a&gt; of how he came out of a coma and having to deal with hallucinations.&lt;/p&gt;

  14570. &lt;p&gt;He added: “When I woke up I was angry and scared because of the strong &lt;span id=&quot;fdb23c8d-f401-4c0b-91c8-144803e13656&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8230; I was hallucinating like crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
  14571.  
  14572.  
  14573.  
  14574. &lt;p&gt;“I was moving around. I wanted to walk, stand-up, I wanted to get comfortable.&lt;/p&gt;
  14575.  
  14576.  
  14577.  
  14578. &lt;p&gt;“There was one time they put mittens on my hands and tied my hands and legs so I couldn’t kick, move or roll around because I was moving so much for the amount of injuries I had.&lt;/p&gt;
  14579.  
  14580.  
  14581.  
  14582. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They said to Faye if he doesn’t calm down, we’ll put him back in a coma. Thankfully I stopped.&lt;/p&gt;
  14583.  
  14584.  
  14585.  
  14586. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_undefined&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/image_5ec792.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=781&quot; alt=&quot;Man using a walker in a hospital hallway, assisted by a woman.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;He is ahead of schedule in his rehab&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  14587.  
  14588.  
  14589.  
  14590. &lt;p&gt;“They noticed when Faye was by my side, I was really relaxed, I’d calm down and she’d talk to me and I’d listen.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14591.  
  14592.  
  14593.  
  14594. &lt;p&gt;There was also the terrifying feeling of reading back on the tributes while he was fighting for his life.&lt;/p&gt;
  14595.  
  14596.  
  14597.  
  14598. &lt;p&gt;He continued: “We’ve had so much support from the people we are close to but also fans. To hear stadiums like Wroclaw, Torun and others all cheering my name.&lt;/p&gt;
  14599.  
  14600.  
  14601.  
  14602. &lt;p&gt;“I went back on my socials and was looking back on all the stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
  14603.  
  14604.  
  14605.  
  14606. &lt;p&gt;“I got to see what it looked like if I was dead. It was really weird, a really strange feeling.&lt;/p&gt;
  14607.  
  14608.  
  14609.  
  14610. &lt;p&gt;“When I was in a coma no one really knew what was going on. All the messages, it was wild. Rehab has been full &lt;span id=&quot;ea396377-e8f9-4cb7-a4e9-57787a0f565b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;gas&lt;/span&gt; and here we are now.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14611.  
  14612.  
  14613.  
  14614. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_undefined&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 10px&quot;&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/tai-woffinden-983844832_c5ae3f.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=892&quot; alt=&quot;Speedway rider crash.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The speedway icon suffered multiple fractures after a horror crash&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  14615.  
  14616.  
  14617.  
  14618. &lt;p&gt;While his recuperation is remarkably rapid, Woffinden has turned his full attention to his music career which has been building steadily in his spare time over the past few years.&lt;/p&gt;
  14619.  
  14620.  
  14621.  
  14622. &lt;p&gt;But it’s certainly set to take a massive leap in success.&lt;/p&gt;
  14623.  
  14624.  
  14625.  
  14626. &lt;p&gt;He added: “Using a speedway analogy to describe where I am in &lt;span id=&quot;81ca7a4f-894d-42e4-9781-e6b09c3d34c0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dance music&lt;/span&gt;, I’m probably in the National Development League. But now I’ve teamed up with Tomasz Gollob.&lt;/p&gt;
  14627.  
  14628.  
  14629.  
  14630. &lt;p&gt;“On Friday we release a big collaboration with an artist called Oliver Heldens.&lt;/p&gt;
  14631.  
  14632.  
  14633.  
  14634. &lt;p&gt;“He&amp;#8217;s a Dutch DJ, kind of house, trance, techno DJ, who’s a household name in &lt;span id=&quot;7e74f582-f6a3-4fc3-9a95-b7e28ec0ab68&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dance music&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14635.  
  14636.  
  14637.  
  14638. &lt;p&gt;“When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Man City&lt;/a&gt; won their last Premier League title, he was the DJ on their bus taking them around &lt;span id=&quot;06720476-0e94-4bff-b5a1-a9db13b0403a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14643.  
  14644.  
  14645.  
  14646. &lt;p&gt;“He’s been teaching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-grealish/&quot;&gt;Jack Grealish&lt;/a&gt; how to DJ and stuff. He’s a pretty big deal. So we basically made a track.&lt;/p&gt;
  14647.  
  14648.  
  14649.  
  14650. &lt;p&gt;“The Orange Theme is out on Friday. It’s actually a derivative of a symphonic track from the 1600s.&lt;/p&gt;
  14651.  
  14652.  
  14653.  
  14654. &lt;p&gt;“It&amp;#8217;s actually been covered a few times. So most famously it &lt;span id=&quot;531c2bd3-d4e6-4ed2-bec8-eeb3c88df2d4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;features&lt;/span&gt; in the &lt;span id=&quot;c61f7166-5cd8-4b18-9135-9cb1ec8a3bc6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;film&lt;/span&gt; A Clockwork Orange, it’s part of the theme tune.&lt;/p&gt;
  14655.  
  14656.  
  14657.

  14694. &lt;p&gt;THE heroic Maclean brothers hosted two celebrity dinner guests this week &amp;#8211; as they continue to row across the Pacific Ocean.&lt;/p&gt;
  14695.  
  14696.  
  14697.  
  14698. &lt;p&gt;Ewan, 33, Jamie, 32, and Lachlan, 28, have passed Day 80 of their &lt;span id=&quot;54ac3866-09bc-4457-8442-82c139d51334&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;record&lt;/span&gt; breaking voyage from Peru to their final destination in Australia.&lt;/p&gt;

  14711.  
  14712.  
  14713.  
  14714. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35670851&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/MixCollage-02-Jul-2025-05-06-PM-8270.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Man with gray beard and yellow sunglasses laughing in a video call.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35670851&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Greg Hemphill had a host of questions for the rowers.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  14715.  
  14716.  
  14717.  
  14718. &lt;p&gt;But Lorraine Kelly and Still Game’s Greg Hemphill both joined the lads as virtual dinner &lt;span id=&quot;4ad74bd2-3923-40d2-9454-7ed37ab718c4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dates&lt;/span&gt; to help boost their morale.&lt;/p&gt;
  14719.  
  14720.  
  14721.  
  14722. &lt;p&gt;ITV host Lorraine tucked into a freeze dried ruby chicken curry with the lads who were over 10,000miles away from her &lt;span id=&quot;0a159be8-dcca-4b6d-bfc5-fea07664891e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt; base.&lt;/p&gt;
  14723.  
  14724.  
  14725.  
  14726. &lt;p&gt;Initially she described their food as looking “disgusting” but was soon won over saying it tasted “really nice”.&lt;/p&gt;
  14727.  
  14728.  
  14729.  
  14730. &lt;p&gt;While Greg, 55, who played Craiglang’s Victor McDade, wanted to know what the Macleans have to &lt;span id=&quot;d0a935fc-2d94-4bf0-9698-af1e89587fc0&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;drink&lt;/span&gt;, asking: “Have you had any &lt;span id=&quot;da5e5c65-0120-46af-8443-2b987b017a1e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;alcohol&lt;/span&gt; on board?”&lt;/p&gt;
  14731.  
  14732.  
  14733.  
  14734. &lt;p&gt;Jamie replied: “We&amp;#8217;ve got a couple of cans of &lt;span id=&quot;3b407e33-3ee3-4b87-a2bb-6b611a3e00ee&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;beer&lt;/span&gt;. We had one of them already. But I think there would be cause for a mutiny if the chocolate runs out.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14735.  
  14736.  
  14737.  
  14738. &lt;p&gt;Greg then confessed that he would like to join them for a leg of their trip.&lt;/p&gt;
  14739.  
  14740.  
  14741.  
  14742. &lt;p&gt;He told them: “I’m an old man of the sea. I have my day skipper &lt;span id=&quot;96b3d032-8491-4040-b6c7-5c4f18d8370f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;licence&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14743.  
  14744.  
  14745.  
  14746. &lt;p&gt;“I think I must have been an old sailor in the past and would have joined the &lt;span id=&quot;51416ce1-6198-438a-bfe2-a11faae8e6a6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;navy&lt;/span&gt; for sure.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14747.  
  14748.  
  14749.  
  14750. &lt;p&gt;“But what you are doing is above and beyond all that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14751.  
  14752.  
  14753.  
  14754. &lt;p&gt;The siblings are aiming to become the fastest to row the 9,000 mile route completely unsupported.&lt;/p&gt;

  14776.  
  14777.  
  14778. &lt;p&gt;They’ve already managed to row over 6,000 miles but have been hit by storms along the way and been followed by a man-eating hammerhead shark.&lt;/p&gt;
  14779.  
  14780.  
  14781.  
  14782. &lt;p&gt;Despite that, the Maclean’s told Lorraine, 65, that they still have to take a dip in the ocean.&lt;/p&gt;
  14783.  
  14784.  
  14785.  
  14786. &lt;p&gt;Lachlan says: “It’s not a leisure swim, but we have to clean the bottom of the boat.&lt;/p&gt;
  14787.  
  14788.  
  14789.  
  14790. &lt;p&gt;“It&amp;#8217;s amazing how quickly you get kind of barnacles and little muscles on the bottom of the &lt;span id=&quot;28232143-1fb0-492c-811b-24fd09b406b1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hull&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14791.  
  14792.  
  14793.  
  14794. &lt;p&gt;“So we have to jump in and kind of scrape down, because they really slow the boat down.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14795.  
  14796.  
  14797.  
  14798. &lt;p&gt;And as they near the Australian &lt;span id=&quot;fc26b0b9-b220-4afc-96db-52684655aadc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;coast&lt;/span&gt; they reveal the sharks will get bigger as they enter waters patrolled by great whites.&lt;/p&gt;
  14799.  
  14800.  
  14801.  
  14802. &lt;p&gt;Ewan says: “We&amp;#8217;ve seen a bunch of sharks already. I think they&amp;#8217;re mostly reef sharks which aren’t that big although we actually saw a hammerhead the other day.&lt;/p&gt;
  14803.  
  14804.  
  14805.  
  14806. &lt;p&gt;I think once we get closer to &lt;span id=&quot;f6b38a98-e110-42d0-8fd8-07619b5b0e09&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/span&gt; we will have to be really careful as we will still need to get in the &lt;span id=&quot;cd70c1ac-3506-4eed-aa00-da41e5d5934d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;water&lt;/span&gt; every five days to clean the hull.&lt;/p&gt;
  14807.  
  14808.  
  14809.  
  14810. &lt;p&gt;“So I think once we get beyond New Zealand on that final stretch to Australia there will be great whites in those waters.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14811.  
  14812.  
  14813.  
  14814. &lt;p&gt;But keen fisherman Greg also wanted to know what kind of fish the lads had been catching to eat.&lt;/p&gt;
  14815.  
  14816.  
  14817.  
  14818. &lt;p&gt;Jamie explained: “For the first half of the journey there were &lt;span id=&quot;77746f79-13ee-4960-9070-cbabb924b2aa&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;flying&lt;/span&gt; fish everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
  14819.  
  14820.  
  14821.  
  14822. &lt;p&gt;“They&amp;#8217;re like pigeons of the sea. They&amp;#8217;re pests. Some of them are quite big, about the size of a mackerel.&lt;/p&gt;
  14823.  
  14824.  
  14825.  
  14826. &lt;p&gt;“They travel at some speed and the perfect height to take out a rower&amp;#8217;s head then just fly on.&lt;/p&gt;
  14827.  
  14828.  
  14829.  
  14830. &lt;p&gt;“But the little ones end up just throwing themselves on deck. You wake up in the morning, and it looks like there&amp;#8217;s been some sort of massacre and they’ve already started to smell.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14831.  
  14832.  
  14833.  
  14834. &lt;p&gt;However Lorraine wanted to know if the brothers themselves had started to smell as they’re cooped up today night and day on the 30ft vessel called the Rose Emily.&lt;/p&gt;
  14835.  
  14836.  
  14837.  
  14838. &lt;p&gt;She asked: “Are you all really smelly and horrible? Or can you wash?”&lt;/p&gt;
  14839.  
  14840.  
  14841.  
  14842. &lt;p&gt;Ewan replied: “Well, I think to each other we smell okay, but the reality would be to anyone on the outside, it&amp;#8217;s probably pretty dreadful.&lt;/p&gt;
  14843.  
  14844.  
  14845.  
  14846. &lt;p&gt;“But we do have to be quite strict. Mainly from a salt perspective as the sea spray corrodes your skin and can quite quickly cause salt sores and blisters.&lt;/p&gt;
  14847.  
  14848.  
  14849.  
  14850. &lt;p&gt;“So on that basis you either have to rinse it off with fresh water baby wipe before going to bed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14851.  
  14852.  
  14853.  
  14854. &lt;p&gt;We revealed last month how Mark Wahlberg, 54, had also had a &lt;span id=&quot;16ba77f1-f9ea-4af1-8f00-75d62ff66bbf&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;video&lt;/span&gt; call with the Scots brothers saying he wanted to make a movie about their &amp;#8220;badass&amp;#8221; record bid.&lt;/p&gt;
  14855.  
  14856.  
  14857.  
  14858. &lt;p&gt;And Greg wanted to know how they had got in touch with the Hollywood A-lister.&lt;/p&gt;
  14859.  
  14860.  
  14861.  
  14862. &lt;p&gt;Lachlan says: “It was very surreal as we didn&amp;#8217;t have any kind of link to him. He reached via one of his people. Apparently he was just taken by the story.&lt;/p&gt;
  14863.  
  14864.  
  14865.  
  14866. &lt;p&gt;“But we&amp;#8217;ve actually spoken to him twice now. He seems quite interested in what&amp;#8217;s going on. He’s Just a lovely guy.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14867.  
  14868.  
  14869.

  14920. &lt;p&gt;JAGUAR sales have plummeted 97.5 per cent after the car manufacturer faced fierce backlash over its woke pink &amp;#8220;rebrand&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14921.  
  14922.  
  14923.  
  14924. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The iconic British motor giant sparked outrage in November when it launched a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31843769/jaguar-new-car-advert-re-brand-logo/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;glossy ad campaign with bright colours and catwalk &lt;span&gt;models&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  14937.  
  14938.  
  14939.  
  14940. &lt;p&gt;Soon after, it unveiled the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32085644/jaguar-boss-defends-woke-tesla-pink-ev/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;bizarre Type 00 concept car&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; a large, pink grand tourer &amp;#8211; as well as a much-maligned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31819231/jaguar-new-logo-re-branding-electric-only/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;new logo and badge&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14941.  
  14942.  
  14943.  
  14944. &lt;p&gt;The likes of &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nigel-farage/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Nigel Farage&lt;/a&gt; and even &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/elon-musk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Elon Musk&lt;/a&gt; led the critics, with the Reform leader describing it as &amp;#8220;woke&amp;#8221; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31820400/jaguar-kills-iconic-big-cat-logo-woke-rebrand/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;warned the automaker risked &amp;#8220;going bust&amp;#8221; due to its new design choice&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14945.  
  14946.  
  14947.  
  14948. &lt;p&gt;Now it has been revealed that Jaguar sales in Europe have plunged 97.5 per cent following the botched rebrand.&lt;/p&gt;
  14949.  
  14950.  
  14951.  
  14952. &lt;p&gt;The luxury British automaker registered just 49 vehicles in Europe in April, compared with 1,961 vehicles in the same month last year, according to data from the&amp;nbsp;European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association.&lt;/p&gt;
  14953.  
  14954.  
  14955.  
  14956. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Jaguar sales between January and April plummeted 75.1 per cent, with just 2,665 cars sold across the continent.&lt;/p&gt;
  14957.  
  14958.  
  14959.  
  14960. &lt;p&gt;Globally, Jaguar sold just 26,862 vehicles for the 2024/25 financial year &amp;#8211; an 85 per cent drop compared to 2018.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14961.  
  14962.  
  14963.  
  14964. &lt;p&gt;However, Jaguar has insisted the rebrand has &amp;#8220;nothing to do&amp;#8221; with its mammoth fall in sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  14965.  
  14966.  
  14967.  
  14968. &lt;p&gt;When the 30-second ad&amp;nbsp;was first unveiled, flashing up a number of slogans, including &amp;#8220;live vivid&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;delete ordinary&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;copy nothing&amp;#8221;, fans on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; were not happy.&lt;/p&gt;
  14969.  
  14970.  
  14971.  
  14972. &lt;p&gt;And the controversial ad excluded any images of its sleek sports cars as it touted its transition to a fully electric, ultra-luxury company.&lt;/p&gt;
  14973.  
  14974.  
  14975.  
  14976. &lt;p&gt;The scrapping of the well-known big cat badge in favour of a geometric &amp;#8216;J&amp;#8217; design also drew fierce criticism.&lt;/p&gt;

  14998.  
  14999.  
  15000. &lt;p&gt;At the time of release, one&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/topic/facebook/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;user commented: &amp;#8220;If I wasn&amp;#8217;t sure before, now I&amp;#8217;m convinced Jaguar have completely lost the plot. This &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10760207/woke-meaning-definition/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;woke&lt;/a&gt; nonsense won&amp;#8217;t gain anything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15001.  
  15002.  
  15003.  
  15004. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;As someone who worked for this iconic brand up until production cessation in June it really does sadden me to see the direction the company has decided to take.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15005.  
  15006.  
  15007.  
  15008. &lt;p&gt;Elon Musk also turned the knife on X, simply asking Jaguar “‘Do you sell cars?”&lt;/p&gt;
  15009.  
  15010.  
  15011.  
  15012. &lt;p&gt;But the sales slump may not be as catastrophic as it first appears.&lt;/p&gt;
  15013.  
  15014.  
  15015.  
  15016. &lt;p&gt;As part of Jaguar&amp;#8217;s refresh, the car firm intentionally stopped&amp;nbsp;producing cars at the end of 2024, a move which stretched into 2025.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15017.  
  15018.  
  15019.  
  15020. &lt;p&gt;The manufacturer is currently seeking to bring in a new range of entirely electric vehicles, which were due for release this year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15021.  
  15022.  
  15023.  
  15024. &lt;p&gt;Defending the news, Jaguar said it was &amp;#8220;pointless&amp;#8221; to compare figures for 2024 and 2025 as it was seeking to move to its all-electric model and insisted the company&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;rebranding was &amp;#8220;not related to a sales decline&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15025.  
  15026.  
  15027.  
  15028. &lt;p&gt;A spokeswoman said:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;Jaguar&amp;#8217;s transformation towards a new portfolio of pure-electric vehicles was announced as part of the Reimagine strategy in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  15029.  
  15030.  
  15031.  
  15032. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;JLR always envisaged a period when the current range would &amp;#8216;no longer be on sale&amp;#8217; before the introduction of the new Jaguar collection.&lt;/p&gt;
  15033.  
  15034.  
  15035.  
  15036. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Production of XE, XF, F-TYPE, I-PACE and E-PACE all came to an end in 2024 as part of that transition.&lt;/p&gt;
  15037.  
  15038.  
  15039.  
  15040. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This strategic &amp;#8216;sunset&amp;#8217; of the product range is going to plan and will allow Jaguar to transform and reposition the brand for the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  15041.  
  15042.  
  15043.  
  15044. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Comparing Jaguar sales to 2024 is pointless as we are no longer producing vehicles in 2025 with low levels of retail inventory available.&lt;/p&gt;
  15045.  
  15046.  
  15047.  
  15048. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Jaguar&amp;#8217;s rebranding is not related to a sales decline.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15049.  
  15050.  
  15051.  
  15052. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;CH-CH-CHANGES&lt;/h2&gt;
  15053.  
  15054.  
  15055.  
  15056. &lt;p&gt;Jaguar’s wild transition has long been on the cards.&lt;/p&gt;
  15057.  
  15058.  
  15059.  
  15060. &lt;p&gt;Last year, executives made the call to discontinue their flagship petrol motors, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/28550759/iconic-jaguar-end-of-production-shift-ev/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;including the XE, XF and F-Type&lt;/a&gt;, as well as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31213914/jaguar-end-production-two-petrol-models-electric/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;E-Pace and I-Pace EVs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15061.  
  15062.  
  15063.  
  15064. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, only the F-Pace will continue into 2026 &amp;#8211; although it’s been pulled from the UK market along with the rest of the aforementioned models.&lt;/p&gt;
  15065.  
  15066.  
  15067.  
  15068. &lt;p&gt;Jag then plans to fully relaunch next year as an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31985583/best-new-cars-launching-2025/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;all-electric brand&lt;/a&gt;, selling high-end, zero-emissions cars badged with its redesigned logo.&lt;/p&gt;
  15069.  
  15070.  
  15071.  
  15072. &lt;p&gt;To that end, the company has invested heavily in new designs, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/32066933/jaguar-pink-ev-slammed-tesla-woke-rebrand/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;concept cars&lt;/a&gt; and other ads to go with the reveal.&lt;/p&gt;
  15073.  
  15074.  
  15075.  
  15076. &lt;p&gt;Defending the campaign last year, JLR&amp;#8217;s Managing Director Rawdon Glover said to the Financial Times: “If we play in the same way that everybody else does, we&amp;#8217;ll just get drowned out.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15077.

  15131. &lt;p&gt;The small but stylish home offers floor to ceiling windows, meaning you could feel at one with nature&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23409790/how-to-make-the-most-of-hybrid-working/&quot;&gt; working from home&lt;/a&gt; with natural lighting.&lt;/p&gt;
  15132.  
  15133.  
  15134.  
  15135. &lt;p&gt;There is only a ￡197.66 delivery fee, and your home could arrive &lt;span id=&quot;44f6910e-d977-43ef-8843-b8953c1d8481&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; week.&lt;/p&gt;

  15139. &lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008568628106.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;listing&lt;/a&gt;: “ CDPH &lt;span id=&quot;7551fac1-5384-4f1b-9ff1-2b0fdfa1d206&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;apple&lt;/span&gt; cabin is a modular dwelling constructed off-site and delivered to the location as a complete unit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15140.  
  15141.  
  15142.  
  15143. &lt;p&gt;“The compact design, inspired by apple crates, &lt;span id=&quot;81aa6253-8c16-4a34-9ffe-e260a2c762c7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;features&lt;/span&gt; a rustic aesthetic and can accommodate several people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  15148.  
  15149.  
  15150.  
  15151. &lt;p&gt;Forget having to apply for a mortgage and battle a dreading house chain, the home could be yours with a click of a button.&lt;/p&gt;
  15152.  
  15153.  
  15154.  
  15155. &lt;p&gt;Pictures show the home with curved edges and a wooden slatted design for the interior.&lt;/p&gt;
  15156.  
  15157.  
  15158.  
  15159. &lt;p&gt;The bathroom is contained privately inside, with the kitchen built into the living space.&lt;/p&gt;
  15160.  
  15161.  
  15162.  
  15163. &lt;p&gt;While it isn&amp;#8217;t huge, it could provide the perfect excuse to live more simply, and keep belongings and expenses low.&lt;/p&gt;
  15164.  
  15165.  
  15166.  
  15167. &lt;p&gt;It also said the colour can be &amp;#8220;customised&amp;#8221;, meaning you could tweak it if you weren&amp;#8217;t a fan of the white exterior on the listing.&lt;/p&gt;

  15191. &lt;p&gt;Given the national average house price in the UK was reported at £264,500 in 2024, it could be an affordable alternative.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15192.  
  15193.  
  15194.  
  15195. &lt;p&gt;Of course, you could use the home to earn some extra cash, if you rent it out, or it could be an extra bedroom for friends and family.&lt;/p&gt;
  15196.  
  15197.  
  15198.  
  15199. &lt;p&gt;Alternatively it could be used as an office or gym in your garden.&lt;/p&gt;

  15206.  
  15207. &lt;p&gt;Tiny &lt;span id=&quot;e61c3876-fcc9-4241-9d47-7ba416c765af&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt; in the UK have boomed in popularity in recent years and typically range from 100 to 400 square feet in size.&lt;/p&gt;
  15208.  
  15209.  
  15210.  
  15211. &lt;p&gt;Prices vary, but a basic tiny home can cost between £5,000 and £80,000, depending on size, materials, and whether it&amp;#8217;s custom-built.&lt;/p&gt;
  15212.  
  15213.  
  15214.  
  15215. &lt;p&gt;If a tiny home is on wheels, it may be classified as a caravan under UK &lt;span id=&quot;5e5b9cad-3753-4a7c-9038-f54fa61ea96f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;law&lt;/span&gt;, meaning it might not require traditional planning permission.&lt;/p&gt;
  15216.  
  15217.  
  15218.  
  15219. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  15225. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Are tiny homes legal in the UK?&lt;/h3&gt;
  15226. &lt;/div&gt;
  15227. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  15229. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  15230. TINY houses can be in the UK regardless of whether they are on a trailer base or not. The legality of tiny houses is all to do with where it is and what you use it for. &lt;/p&gt;
  15232. &lt;div&gt;
  15233. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Planning Geek (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.planninggeek.co.uk/projects/granny-annexe/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Planning Geek&lt;/a&gt;, constructing a granny annexe in your garden usually means you&amp;#8217;ll need planning permission, especially if it has a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  15234. &lt;p&gt;This is because it&amp;#8217;s seen as a separate living space rather than just an extension of your main home.&lt;/p&gt;
  15235. &lt;p&gt;However, if you&amp;#8217;re thinking about converting an existing outbuilding, like a garage, into a granny annexe or a tiny home, you might not need planning permission.&lt;/p&gt;
  15236. &lt;p&gt;That said, it&amp;#8217;s important to make sure the space doesn&amp;#8217;t end up being a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;fully self-contained unit (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://n-somerset.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2020-02/Residential%20annexes%20-%20detailed%20advice%20for%20planning%20professionals.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;fully self-contained unit&lt;/a&gt; – for instance, if the converted area doesn&amp;#8217;t include cooking facilities, it might not be classified as a separate dwelling.&lt;/p&gt;
  15237. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s also worth noting that, while certain small outbuildings can be constructed under permitted development rights, the &lt;a aria-label=&quot;NAPC (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://napc.uk/news/planning-permission-for-your-annexe/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NAPC&lt;/a&gt; points out that this usually applies to structures like sheds or garages, rather than self-contained annexes.&lt;/p&gt;
  15238. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thetinyhousing.co/blog/understanding-the-uk-laws-of-a-tiny-house-y24y6&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Tiny Housing&lt;/a&gt;, a tiny home on wheels must not exceed 2.55 meters in width to be road-legal in the UK. Also, with a standard car licence, the length cannot be more than seven meters.&lt;/p&gt;
  15239. &lt;p&gt;While tiny homes offer an alternative living solution, they must comply with local planning and building regulations.&lt;/p&gt;
  15240. &lt;p&gt;Always check with your local council to ensure compliance with all regulations.&lt;/p&gt;
  15241. &lt;/div&gt;
  15242. &lt;/div&gt;

  15427. &lt;p&gt;KATIE BOULTER crashed out to lucky loser Solana Sierra &amp;#8211; and could not even blame misfortune on it.&lt;/p&gt;
  15428.  
  15429.  
  15430.  
  15431. &lt;p&gt;The British No2 had a shocker for the majority of her 1hr 53mins out on a half-empty &lt;span id=&quot;8c943cac-b02a-49c2-b73d-5820d136c5c5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/span&gt; No1, save for an impressive first-set fightback.&lt;/p&gt;

  15440.  
  15441.  
  15442.  
  15443. &lt;p&gt;That revival had seen &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-boulter/&quot;&gt;Boulter&lt;/a&gt; go from 5-2 down to win 7-6, thanks to a tie-break.&lt;/p&gt;
  15444.  
  15445.  
  15446.  
  15447. &lt;p&gt;And from then the supporters who had turned up were half-expecting a comfortable victory for the Leicester-born &lt;span id=&quot;0add9d24-571d-401d-a7d9-e125d8a8c787&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt; resident.&lt;/p&gt;
  15448.  
  15449.  
  15450.  
  15451. &lt;p&gt;But it did not turn out that way as an inspired Sierra capitalised on Boulter’s catalogue of errors to come through 6-7 6-2 6-1.&lt;/p&gt;
  15452.  
  15453.  
  15454.  
  15455. &lt;p&gt;The Argentine, 21, had lost in qualifying and was only in the SW19 main draw after being selected to replace an injured player.&lt;/p&gt;
  15456.  
  15457.  
  15458.  
  15459. &lt;p&gt;She certainly made the most of it and was much the better and more consistent of the two players, setting up a third-round tie with Spaniard Cristina Bucsa.&lt;/p&gt;
  15460.  
  15461.  
  15462.  
  15463. &lt;p&gt;As for Boulter, she will look back ruefully on a complacent display which saw her lay down 14 double faults and 36 unforced errors.&lt;/p&gt;
  15464.  
  15465.  
  15466.  
  15467. &lt;p&gt;It was chalk and cheese compared to her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35637994/katie-boulter-paula-badosa-wimbledon-tsitsipas/&quot;&gt;impressive victory&lt;/a&gt; in the first round over No9 seed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paula-badosa/&quot;&gt;Paula Badosa&lt;/a&gt;, which showed what she is capable of on her day.&lt;/p&gt;
  15468.  
  15469.  
  15470.  
  15471. &lt;p&gt;But the world No43 was nowhere near at that level against a much-lower ranked opponent in this second round, and paid for it dearly.&lt;/p&gt;
  15472.  
  15473.  
  15474.

  15476.  
  15477.  
  15478.  
  15479. &lt;p&gt;Sierra revealed after her victory that she has had to move the house in which she is staying during the championships several times already because she did not expect to be here this long.&lt;/p&gt;
  15480.  
  15481.  
  15482.  
  15483. &lt;p&gt;And now she and her mother, who is staying with her, will have to switch residences again given she is into round three.&lt;/p&gt;

  15507. &lt;p&gt;The Argentine explained: “I lost in the third round of qualies so we already changed three times the apartment and now we are going to change again!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15508.  
  15509.  
  15510.

  15563. &lt;p&gt;THIS is the astonishing moment a pair of orcas were spotted kissing &amp;#8211; with tongues &amp;#8211; for the first time ever in the wild.&lt;/p&gt;
  15564.  
  15565.  
  15566.  
  15567. &lt;p&gt;The killer smooch was caught on camera by scientists during a snorkelling trip in northern &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/norway/&quot;&gt;Norway&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  15580.  
  15581.  
  15582.  
  15583. &lt;p&gt;The interaction between the two orcas &amp;#8211; also known as killer whales &amp;#8211; took place in the dramatic Kvænangen fjords, about 68 miles northeast of Tromsø.&lt;/p&gt;
  15584.  
  15585.  
  15586.  
  15587. &lt;p&gt;In the nearly two-minute-long video, the orcas are seen engaging in three separate “kissing” episodes, lasting 10, 26 and 18 seconds each. &lt;/p&gt;
  15588.  
  15589.  
  15590.  
  15591. &lt;p&gt;One orca extends its tongue while the other appears to gently mouth or nibble it.&lt;/p&gt;
  15592.  
  15593.  
  15594.  
  15595. &lt;p&gt;After the final “kiss”, the highly intelligent mammals part ways and swim off in opposite directions.&lt;/p&gt;
  15596.  
  15597.  
  15598.  
  15599. &lt;p&gt;In a paper published in the journal Oceans, researchers describe the two adult orcas as engaging in “repeated episodes of gentle, face-to-face oral contact”.&lt;/p&gt;
  15600.  
  15601.  
  15602.  
  15603. &lt;p&gt;The snorkellers floated quietly and horizontally in the water &amp;#8211; careful not to disturb the orcas &amp;#8211; and filmed the interaction on a GoPro.&lt;/p&gt;
  15604.  
  15605.  
  15606.  
  15607. &lt;p&gt;Scientists call this tactile interaction “tongue-nibbling”.&lt;/p&gt;
  15608.  
  15609.  
  15610.  
  15611. &lt;p&gt;Study author Dr Javier Almunia told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-filmed-making-out-in-the-wild-for-first-time&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Live Science&lt;/a&gt; that &amp;#8220;tongue-nibbling is exceptionally rare&amp;#8221;, explaining that, until now, this behaviour had only been seen in orcas in human care.&lt;/p&gt;
  15612.  
  15613.  
  15614.  
  15615. &lt;p&gt;While tongue-nibbling has not been recorded in other species, similar mouth-to-mouth contact has been spotted in belugas, according to Dr Almunia.&lt;/p&gt;
  15616.  
  15617.  
  15618.  
  15619. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;This behaviour appears to serve affiliative purposes and may play a role in reinforcing social bonds or resolving conflicts, akin to grooming or reconciliation behaviours in other highly social species.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

  15642.  
  15643. &lt;p&gt;Mouth-to-mouth contact in orcas was previously recorded in 2013 at Loro Parque, a zoo on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/tenerife/&quot;&gt;Tenerife&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15644.  
  15645.  
  15646.  
  15647. &lt;p&gt;During that observation, “one individual protruded its tongue while the other made gentle nibbling movements,” the study authors, Dr Almunia and colleagues, explain. &lt;/p&gt;
  15648.  
  15649.  
  15650.  
  15651. &lt;p&gt;The zoo-keepers reported that tongue-nibbling behaviour had been noted in four individual orcas at the park.&lt;/p&gt;
  15652.  
  15653.  
  15654.  
  15655. &lt;p&gt;Mouth-to-mouth contact was first documented in captive orcas in a 1978 study by Paul Spong and Ingrid Visser, who suggested it plays a role in maintaining social cohesion.&lt;/p&gt;
  15656.  
  15657.  
  15658.  
  15659. &lt;p&gt;It comes as two pals on a fishing trip spotted what appeared to be a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35521040/killer-whales-spotted-sighting-english-channel/&quot;&gt;pod of killer whales&lt;/a&gt; in the Channel.&lt;/p&gt;
  15660.  
  15661.  
  15662.  
  15663. &lt;p&gt;David Hilton, 64, and Paul Bradshaw, 61, were angling off the South Coast when they saw several large creatures breaching the surface.&lt;/p&gt;
  15664.  
  15665.  
  15666.  
  15667. &lt;p&gt;They appeared to be hunting dolphins in busy international shipping lanes, just five miles south of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/plymouth/&quot;&gt;Plymouth&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/devon/&quot;&gt;Devon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15668.  
  15669.  
  15670.  
  15671. &lt;p&gt;Orcas are found in oceans all over the world, but they are most commonly seen in the Pacific Northwest (the US and Canada), Norway, &lt;span id=&quot;9dab9adb-d373-44de-9e8a-c3684c62cc27&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Iceland&lt;/span&gt; and the Antarctic water.&lt;/p&gt;
  15672.  
  15673.  
  15674.  
  15675. &lt;p&gt;Sightings in the Channel are rare.&lt;/p&gt;
  15676.  
  15677.  
  15678.  
  15679. &lt;p&gt;The Channel is not a typical habitat for orcas as it is shallow and heavily trafficked.&lt;/p&gt;
  15680.

  15694. OFTEN called killer whales, orcas are actually the largest species of dolphin. These highly intelligent mammals are known for their advanced communication and complex social lives. &lt;/p&gt;
  15696. &lt;div&gt;
  15697. &lt;p&gt;Orcas are known to “kiss” by gently touching or nuzzling each other with their mouths.&lt;/p&gt;
  15698. &lt;p&gt;Researchers studying orcas both in the wild and in captivity believe this behaviour helps them relieve stress, resolve conflicts and strengthen long-term social bonds.&lt;/p&gt;
  15699. &lt;p&gt;When orcas “kiss” or nuzzle, it’s usually an affectionate, social gesture rather than a romantic one.&lt;/p&gt;
  15700. &lt;p&gt;Mothers and calves are often seen engaging in this behaviour, along with other members of a pod &amp;#8211; their tight-knit family groups.&lt;/p&gt;
  15701. &lt;/div&gt;

  15773.  
  15774.  
  15775.  
  15776. &lt;p&gt;The footballer shared: &amp;#8220;I spoke with Helena. We had a little chat. And we had, like, one kiss.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15777.  
  15778.  
  15779.  
  15780. &lt;p&gt;Rolling her eyes, Toni asked why Harrison never kissed Helena in front of her.&lt;/p&gt;
  15781.  
  15782.  
  15783.  
  15784. &lt;p&gt;He replied: &amp;#8220;Because&amp;#8230; that&amp;#8217;s mad, that&amp;#8217;s so awkward.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15785.  
  15786.  
  15787.  
  15788. &lt;p&gt;Toni shot back: &amp;#8220;Because you&amp;#8217;re a p***y. Grow a pair of balls and do it in front of my face.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15789.  
  15790.  
  15791.  
  15792. &lt;p&gt;After branding her love interest &amp;#8220;sneaky and weird&amp;#8221;, she stormed off leaving Harrison sitting alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  15793.  
  15794.  
  15795.  
  15796. &lt;p&gt;When Harrison arrived as a bombshell, he &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35471474/love-island-malisha-breaks-silence-dumping-harrison-toni/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;went on dates with both Toni and Malisha.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  16036. &lt;p&gt;Mum Nicole, who posts under &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@nicoletravelandlife/video/7520652860149878038&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;@nicoletravelandlife&lt;/a&gt;, raved about the Wild Rose Holiday Park in &lt;span id=&quot;e6d73a97-4712-4d84-9fae-3e740bf6fc95&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cumbria&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16037.  
  16038.  
  16039.  
  16040. &lt;p&gt;She claimed the location felt like she was “abroad” and she couldn’t “get over” how “nice it was.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16041.  
  16042.  
  16043.  
  16044. &lt;p&gt;The family stayed in &lt;span id=&quot;a1a94a57-9c00-4910-96fe-50baeb3fd120&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the holiday&lt;/span&gt; park’s “standard caravan”, and Nicole claimed it was “absolutely beautiful.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16045.  
  16046.  
  16047.  
  16048. &lt;p&gt;A highlight for her was the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/24419364/cheap-luxury-lodge-hot-tub-stays-deals/&quot;&gt;private hot tub &lt;/a&gt;outside, which had “incredible views.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16049.  
  16050.  
  16051.  
  16052. &lt;p&gt;Inside, she said the caravan was “spotless”, had plenty of storage and came with absolutely everything you could need &amp;#8211; and you “literally just needed to bring your clothes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16053.  
  16054.  
  16055.  
  16056. &lt;p&gt;She said in her clip, which has racked up over 17,500 likes: “[They] even give you a little box of bin bags, washing up tablets, everything like that. So you literally do not need to bring a thing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16057.  
  16058.  
  16059.  
  16060. &lt;p&gt;The holiday park is also&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35300175/dog-friendly-cottage-norfolk-staycation-travel/&quot;&gt; “dog friendly”,&lt;/a&gt; which she called a “huge bonus”, and the mum said they took advantage of the “adults only swim” session, which was from 6pm to 7pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  16061.  
  16062.  
  16063.  
  16064. &lt;p&gt;Nicole also raved about the onsite restaurant, Coast and Country.&lt;/p&gt;
  16065.  
  16066.  
  16067.  
  16068. &lt;p&gt;She continued: “They have children&amp;#8217;s entertainment, and children also eat free.&lt;/p&gt;
  16069.  
  16070.  
  16071.  
  16072. &lt;p&gt;“So we got a family of four meal: two adults, two children. It cost £41, which I think&amp;#8217;s an absolute bargain.&lt;/p&gt;

  16117.

  16129.  
  16130.  
  16131.  
  16132. &lt;p&gt;However, one wrote: “Love to see my kids face when he sees that &lt;span id=&quot;dcd8e4fb-10c6-4800-8bbc-f013fe7aaeb1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pool&lt;/span&gt; and I have to explain to him there’s no way machine no rapids no cyclone.&lt;/p&gt;

  16152. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16153. IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you&amp;#039;ve come to the right place... &lt;/p&gt;
  16155. &lt;div&gt;
  16156. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BATTLING BOREDOM:&lt;/strong&gt; Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there’s nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: “Don’t feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun.&lt;/p&gt;
  16157. &lt;p&gt;“Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time.&lt;/p&gt;
  16158. &lt;p&gt;“Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, ‘What do you think you could do?’ and maybe have a list of ‘I’m bored’ activity ideas on the fridge.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16159. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SCREEN OVERLOAD: &lt;/strong&gt;It’s tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don’t let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen.&lt;/p&gt;
  16160. &lt;p&gt;Liat says: “It’s unfair to expect older kids to power down but it’s important to set some ground rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  16161. &lt;p&gt;“Set family tech rules together. If you’re often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren’t allowed any screen time until they’ve done set chores, some exercise, or a board game.&lt;/p&gt;
  16162. &lt;p&gt;“Are there times when you’d like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit.&lt;/p&gt;
  16163. &lt;p&gt;“Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16164. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: &lt;/strong&gt;You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime.&lt;/p&gt;
  16165. &lt;p&gt;Liat says: “If you’re juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it’s normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace.&lt;/p&gt;
  16166. &lt;p&gt;“If you can’t afford or don’t want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids’ workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  16167. &lt;p&gt;“Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn’t make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16168. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SCHEDULING CONFLICT: &lt;/strong&gt;Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children.&lt;/p&gt;
  16169. &lt;p&gt;Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of Helperbees.co.uk says: “Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken.&lt;/p&gt;
  16170. &lt;p&gt;“Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;
  16171. &lt;p&gt;“We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood.&lt;/p&gt;
  16172. &lt;p&gt;“Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16173. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXCESS ENERGY: &lt;/strong&gt;Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier.&lt;/p&gt;
  16174. &lt;p&gt;Dr Bugembe says: “Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather.&lt;/p&gt;
  16175. &lt;p&gt;“Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they’re wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun.&lt;/p&gt;
  16176. &lt;p&gt;“Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They’ll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16177. &lt;/div&gt;
  16178. &lt;/div&gt;

  16205.  
  16206. &lt;p&gt;WHEN a dog misbehaves, the immediate reaction of most owners is to just blame the animal. &lt;/p&gt;
  16207.  
  16208.  
  16209.  
  16210. &lt;p&gt;However, Diane Hart, dog rehabilitator partnering with &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.pettifortrust.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Pettifor Trust&lt;/a&gt;, has revealed that owners themselves could be the root of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  16211.  
  16212.  
  16213.  
  16214. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35670115&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 608px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/Instagram-Diane-Hart.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=598&quot; alt=&quot;Woman hugging a black and white dog surrounded by other dogs.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35670115&quot; width=&quot;598&quot; height=&quot;756&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram @border_collie_rescue_and_rehab&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Diane Hart is a dog expert who helps to rehome and rehabilitate border collies[/caption]
  16215.  
  16216.  
  16217.  
  16218. &lt;p&gt;And smothering your pet with love while talking to them in a baby voice are signs you could be at fault. &lt;/p&gt;
  16219.  
  16220.  
  16221.  
  16222. &lt;p&gt;Diane emphasises that owners often unintentionally cause harm by treating their dogs like human children.&lt;/p&gt;
  16223.  
  16224.  
  16225.  
  16226. &lt;p&gt;Dogs, she explains, need to understand their place at the bottom of the &amp;#8220;pack&amp;#8221; to feel comfortable and secure. &lt;/p&gt;
  16227.  
  16228.  
  16229.  
  16230. &lt;p&gt;When a dog is at the top of the hierarchy, they may begin to assert dominance, even over children.&lt;/p&gt;
  16231.  
  16232.  
  16233.  
  16234. &lt;p&gt;This is especially true if the parents are strong &amp;#8220;alphas&amp;#8221; and the child is not, leading to the dog potentially going after anyone who touches the child.&lt;/p&gt;
  16235.  
  16236.  
  16237.  
  16238. &lt;p&gt;Offering up her simple fix, Diane advises: &amp;#8220;Don’t treat your dog like a child, you have to respect the dog for what it is.&lt;/p&gt;
  16239.  
  16240.  
  16241.  
  16242. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The dog, in order to be comfortable, has to be at the bottom of the pack. If you put them at the top of the pack, they will start bossing the kids around.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16243.  
  16244.  
  16245.  
  16246. &lt;p&gt;On training and leadership, she adds: &amp;#8220;Owners need to learn to be a pack leader, by being consistent. Once the owner shows they can take control of their dog, the dog will listen.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  16247.  
  16248.  
  16249.  
  16250. &lt;p&gt;Dogs are also deeply sensitive to their human companions, with their behaviour often mirroring the owner&amp;#8217;s temperament. &lt;/p&gt;
  16251.  
  16252.  
  16253.  
  16254. &lt;p&gt;Diane says that many dogs arriving in her care demonstrate issues directly linked to their previous home environments. &lt;/p&gt;

  16281.  
  16282. &lt;p&gt;Many dogs display anxiety, reactivity, or withdrawal due to picking up on their owner’s mood or stress. &lt;/p&gt;
  16283.  
  16284.  
  16285.  
  16286. &lt;p&gt;Border Collies, in particular, are highly sensitive to their surroundings and human energy. &lt;/p&gt;
  16287.  
  16288.  
  16289.  
  16290. &lt;p&gt;Originally bred for rural life, they can be noise sensitive and do not thrive in overly loud or chaotic environments, such as homes with constant shouting or screaming children. &lt;/p&gt;

  16297.  
  16298. &lt;p&gt;Their needs for extensive exercise arevery important, and a lack of this &amp;#8211; coupled with frequent owner absence &amp;#8211; can lead to severe separation anxiety and hyperactiveness.&lt;/p&gt;
  16299.  
  16300.  
  16301.  
  16302. &lt;p&gt;Common behavioural issues often stem from a lack of consistent love and control within the household. &lt;/p&gt;
  16303.  
  16304.  
  16305.  
  16306. &lt;p&gt;This can manifest as anxiety, nipping, pacing, and lunging at people.&lt;/p&gt;

  16325. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE annual Amazon Prime Day event is returning next week.&lt;/p&gt;
  16326.  
  16327.  
  16328.  
  16329. &lt;p&gt;The dates for Amazon&amp;#8217;s popular members-only sale have been confirmed &amp;#8211; but there&amp;#8217;s been a shock turn of events.&lt;/p&gt;

  16345.  
  16346.  
  16347. &lt;p&gt;The retail&amp;nbsp;giant has promised&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.uk/primeday?linkCode=sl2&amp;amp;tag=when-is-amazon-prime-day-money-14860748-21&amp;amp;discounts-widget=%2522%257B%255C%2522state%255C%2522%253A%257B%255C%2522refinementFilters%255C%2522%253A%257B%257D%257D%252C%255C%2522version%255C%2522%253A1%257D%2522&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Prime members&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the UK will be able to shop &amp;#8220;some of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/15188425/best-amazon-prime-day-uk-deals/&quot;&gt;Amazon&amp;#8217;s best deals&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the&amp;nbsp;summer&amp;#8221; with &amp;#8220;deep discounts on some of the biggest brands, viral hits, and bestselling favourites.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16348.  
  16349.  
  16350.  
  16351. &lt;p&gt;Typically, Prime Day sales have run for two days, but for July 2025, we will have an unexpected&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;four&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;days of deals to snap up.&lt;/p&gt;
  16352.  
  16353.  
  16354.  
  16355. &lt;p&gt;Amazon&amp;nbsp;constantly runs great price drops on everything from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/35423988/amazon-shoppers-la-roche-posay-sun-screen-mist-slashed/&quot;&gt;La Roche-Posay SPF&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/home-and-garden/35422967/amazon-shoppers-honeywell-turboforce-fan-reduced-heatwave/&quot;&gt;desk fans&lt;/a&gt;, but&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amazon-prime-day/&quot;&gt;Amazon Prime&amp;nbsp;Day&lt;/a&gt; is a chance to save even more on summer essentials.&lt;/p&gt;
  16356.  
  16357.  
  16358.  
  16359. &lt;p&gt;Last year&amp;#8217;s Prime Day was the biggest ever recorded, with bargain hunters snapping up more than 200 million items from independent sellers during the 48-hour sale.&lt;/p&gt;
  16360.  
  16361.  
  16362.  
  16363. &lt;p&gt;Amazon&amp;nbsp;also revealed that throughout 2024, Prime members in the UK saved nearly £200 on average on delivery costs alone &amp;#8211; more than double the annual membership fee.&lt;/p&gt;

  16402.  
  16403.  
  16404.  
  16405. &lt;p&gt;The timing couldn&amp;#8217;t be better for savvy shoppers looking to score significant savings on big-ticket items, must-have gadgets, and everyday essentials without having to wait for the&amp;nbsp;autumn&amp;nbsp;sales to arrive.&lt;/p&gt;

  16418.  
  16419.  
  16420.  
  16421. &lt;p&gt;Amazon has confirmed that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3xMoHaW&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Prime Day&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;will return next week.&lt;/p&gt;
  16422.  
  16423.  
  16424.  
  16425. &lt;p&gt;The summer shopping extravaganza officially kicks off on&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;July 8, 2025&lt;/strong&gt;, offering&amp;nbsp;Prime members&amp;nbsp;major discounts across top brands.&lt;/p&gt;
  16426.  
  16427.  
  16428.  
  16429. &lt;p&gt;Prime members&amp;nbsp;can look forward to exclusive limited-time deals on&amp;nbsp;tech&amp;nbsp;gadgets, appliances,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/hair-and-beauty/&quot;&gt;beauty&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;must-haves, and&amp;nbsp;fashion&amp;nbsp;steals.&lt;/p&gt;
  16430.  
  16431.  
  16432.  
  16433. &lt;p&gt;The July timing follows Amazon&amp;#8217;s established pattern, with last year&amp;#8217;s summer Prime Day taking place on 16-17 July 2024, when members enjoyed thousands of discounts across all categories.&lt;/p&gt;
  16434.  
  16435.  
  16436.  
  16437. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re looking to maximise your savings throughout the year, it&amp;#8217;s worth noting that Amazon typically hosts a second major sale event in October.&lt;/p&gt;
  16438.  
  16439.  
  16440.  
  16441. &lt;p&gt;While not yet confirmed for 2025, last year&amp;#8217;s Big Deal Days kicked off&amp;nbsp;the holiday&amp;nbsp;shopping season on October 8-9.&lt;/p&gt;
  16442.  
  16443.  
  16444.  
  16445. &lt;p&gt;But hey, we&amp;#8217;ve got the July one before then!&lt;/p&gt;
  16446.  
  16447.  
  16448.  
  16449. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  16450. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  16451. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;How do I get access to Amazon Prime Day deals?&lt;/h3&gt;

  16457. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16458. If you don&amp;#039;t want to miss out on the deals, you&amp;#039;ll need to become a Prime member. &lt;/p&gt;
  16460. &lt;div&gt;
  16461. &lt;p&gt;The massive summer sale is exclusively for Amazon Prime members, meaning you&amp;#8217;ll need to sign up if you want access to the jaw-dropping discounts when the event kicks off.&lt;/p&gt;
  16462. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3Lce05a&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Prime membership&lt;/a&gt; is easy to sort and comes with loads of perks, including next-day delivery and access to Prime Video and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/24148349/amazon-3-months-free-music-unlimited/&quot;&gt;Amazon Music&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16463. &lt;p&gt;The subscription will set you back £8.99 a month, or you can save by opting for the annual membership at £95.&lt;/p&gt;
  16464. &lt;p&gt;But here&amp;#8217;s the money-saving hack shoppers need to know &amp;#8211; if you&amp;#8217;re new to Prime, you can &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3Lce05a&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;sign up for a 30-day free trial&lt;/a&gt;, giving you free access to the sale when it launches.&lt;/p&gt;
  16465. &lt;p&gt;Just remember you&amp;#8217;ll need to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/16071082/how-to-cancel-amazon-prime/&quot;&gt;cancel your membership&lt;/a&gt; before the 30-day trial ends to avoid being charged the ongoing £8.99 monthly fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  16466. &lt;p&gt;With Prime Day 2025 promising &amp;#8220;some of Amazon&amp;#8217;s best deals of the summer&amp;#8221; across top brands and bestsellers, it&amp;#8217;s the perfect opportunity to grab those big-ticket items you&amp;#8217;ve had your eye on.&lt;/p&gt;
  16467. &lt;ul&gt;
  16468. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a aria-label=&quot;Join Amazon Prime and get access to the Big Deals Day event. (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3Lce05a&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join Amazon Prime&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  16469. &lt;/ul&gt;
  16470. &lt;/div&gt;
  16471. &lt;/div&gt;
  16472. &lt;/div&gt;

  16478.  
  16479.  
  16480.  
  16481. &lt;p&gt;The Prime Day event will take place from July 8 to July 11, 2025, giving bargain hunters double the usual time to&amp;nbsp;snap up&amp;nbsp;unmissable offers.&lt;/p&gt;
  16482.  
  16483.  
  16484.  
  16485. &lt;p&gt;According to Amazon, there will be deals across all categories, with discounts on top brands like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dyson/&quot;&gt;Dyson&lt;/a&gt; and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/home-and-garden/35595066/ninja-summer-sale-buy-frostvault-cooler/&quot;&gt;Ninja&lt;/a&gt;, and that&amp;#8217;s not all.&lt;/p&gt;

  16502.  
  16503.

  16506.  
  16507.  
  16508.  
  16509. &lt;p&gt;Amazon Prime Day and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/black-friday/&quot;&gt;Black Friday&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are two of the biggest shopping events of the year – but which offers the best&amp;nbsp;bang for your buck?&lt;/p&gt;
  16510.  
  16511.  
  16512.  
  16513. &lt;p&gt;Prime Day was originally launched in 2015 to celebrate Amazon&amp;#8217;s 20th birthday, but has since evolved into an annual mega sale that rivals&amp;nbsp;Black Friday&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cyber-monday/&quot;&gt;Cyber Monday&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for serious bargain hunters.&lt;/p&gt;
  16514.  
  16515.  
  16516.  
  16517. &lt;p&gt;But in terms of length, scale, and discount quality,&amp;nbsp;Black Friday&amp;nbsp;is still the reigning deals period&amp;nbsp;of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16518.  
  16519.  
  16520.  
  16521. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll find terrific price drops during both sales, and it&amp;#8217;s not impossible that some Prime Day offers may well match those you find during Black Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
  16522.  
  16523.  
  16524.  
  16525. &lt;p&gt;One major difference is that Prime Day deals are exclusive to Prime members, while Black Friday sales are open to everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  16526.  
  16527.  
  16528.  
  16529. &lt;p&gt;This means you&amp;#8217;ll need a £8.99 monthly subscription (or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.uk/primeday?linkCode=sl2&amp;amp;tag=when-is-amazon-prime-day-money-14860748-21&amp;amp;discounts-widget=%2522%257B%255C%2522state%255C%2522%253A%257B%255C%2522refinementFilters%255C%2522%253A%257B%257D%257D%252C%255C%2522version%255C%2522%253A1%257D%2522&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;a free trial&lt;/a&gt;) to access the discounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  16530.  
  16531.  
  16532.  
  16533. &lt;p&gt;The other key difference is timing.&lt;/p&gt;
  16534.  
  16535.  
  16536.  
  16537. &lt;p&gt;Prime Day takes place in July &amp;#8211; perfect for summer purchases and early&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;shopping, while Black Friday kicks off the festive shopping season in late November.&lt;/p&gt;
  16538.  
  16539.  
  16540.  
  16541. &lt;p&gt;A great way to check if the deals are as good as they appear is by using price tracking sites like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;camelcamelcamel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16542.  
  16543.  
  16544.  
  16545. &lt;p&gt;Other price comparison sites, such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.idealo.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Idealo&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;are also helpful and let you compare and track across multiple retailers.&lt;/p&gt;
  16546.  
  16547.  
  16548.  
  16549. &lt;p&gt;Our Sun Shopping experts recommend keeping an eye on both sales for the best deals.&lt;/p&gt;
  16550.  
  16551.  
  16552.  
  16553. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What were the best Prime Day deals in 2024?&lt;/h2&gt;
  16554.  
  16555.  
  16556.  
  16557. &lt;p&gt;Amazon&amp;#8217;s enormous&amp;nbsp;Prime Day event 2024&amp;nbsp;saw millions of impressive price cuts, but some deals stood head and shoulders above the rest.&lt;/p&gt;
  16558.  
  16559.  
  16560.  
  16561. &lt;p&gt;Tech gadgets were the big winners during the summer sale, with shoppers going wild for discounted Apple products such as&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3NfFk55&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;AirPods Pro&lt;/a&gt;, which were discounted to £179 &amp;#8211; a massive saving of £70 on the usual £249 price tag.&lt;/p&gt;
  16562.  
  16563.  
  16564.  
  16565. &lt;p&gt;Amazon&amp;#8217;s own devices were also predictably among the hottest sellers, with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4f0uA7j&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Echo Dot smart speaker&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;plummeting to just £21.99 &amp;#8211; less than half its normal price.&lt;/p&gt;
  16566.  
  16567.  
  16568.  
  16569. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4eB7uDU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Fire TV Sticks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;were another winner, with the 4K version dropping to a bargain £34.99, making it the perfect time to upgrade without splashing out on a new set.&lt;/p&gt;
  16570.  
  16571.  
  16572.  
  16573. &lt;p&gt;In the kitchen department, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4eqjVSN&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ninja air fryers&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;were the must-have item of Prime Day 2024, with several&amp;nbsp;models&amp;nbsp;selling out completely after discounts of up to £80.&lt;/p&gt;
  16574.  
  16575.  
  16576.  
  16577. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/29737215/best-vacuum-cleaner-uk/&quot;&gt;Vacuum cleaners&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3zGuOAW&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Shark&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Dyson&amp;nbsp;also proved as popular as ever, with the cordless models seeing some of the biggest price drops of the event.&lt;/p&gt;

  16741.  
  16742.  
  16743.  
  16744. &lt;p&gt;And the world No733 certainly made a name for himself with a performance against reigning champion &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/carlos-alcaraz/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Carlos Alcaraz&lt;/a&gt; that was even better than the 6-1 6-4 6-4 scoreline suggested.&lt;/p&gt;
  16745.  
  16746.  
  16747.  
  16748. &lt;p&gt;Even the first set was much closer than it might seem, as the San Diego-based student showed again how much he had learned on the college circuit in the USA.&lt;/p&gt;
  16749.  
  16750.  
  16751.  
  16752. &lt;p&gt;Alcaraz was not at his best, just as in his first-round victory a&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35636856/wimbledon-carlos-alcaraz-fabio-fognini-scare/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;gainst Fabio Fognini&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16753.  
  16754.  
  16755.  
  16756. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35642774/oliver-tarvet-alcaraz-tennis-wimbledon-expenses/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;qualifier Tarvet&lt;/a&gt;, 21, made life so difficult for the Spaniard right for so long, with his combination of speed, athleticism, skill and sheer guts.&lt;/p&gt;
  16757.  
  16758.  
  16759.  
  16760. &lt;p&gt;It was not until the second set that the first chants of “Let’s go, Ollie, let’s go” and “Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Oi, Oi, Oi” broke out on Centre Court.&lt;/p&gt;
  16761.  
  16762.  
  16763.  
  16764. &lt;p&gt;A player that most of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35636485/wimbledon-suspended-medical-emergency-carlos-alcaraz/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;home fans&lt;/a&gt; would never have heard of until this week earned the love and respect of the British crowd&lt;/p&gt;
  16765.  
  16766.  
  16767.  
  16768. &lt;p&gt;And the way he played suggested these will not be his only days in the sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  16769.  
  16770.  
  16771.  
  16772. &lt;p&gt;From the beginning &amp;#8211; and for most of the match &amp;#8211; Tarvet put Alcaraz under pressure.&lt;/p&gt;

  16789.  
  16790.  
  16791.

  16816. &lt;p&gt;When the Spaniard produced the latter in the second game of the second set, Tarvet stared in disbelief.&lt;/p&gt;
  16817.  
  16818.  
  16819.  
  16820. &lt;p&gt;But the Brit refocused and at last broke his opponent’s serve.&lt;/p&gt;
  16821.  
  16822.  
  16823.  
  16824. &lt;p&gt;The shock seemed to wake Alcaraz up and he hit back immediately. The pair traded games and some superb rallies, with Tarvet chasing down every ball and finding some winners of his own.&lt;/p&gt;
  16825.  
  16826.  
  16827.  
  16828. &lt;p&gt;Until the No2 seed made his move, winning the ninth game and then serving it out with an ace.&lt;/p&gt;
  16829.  
  16830.  
  16831.  
  16832. &lt;p&gt;Still Tarvet would not lie down and he had the crowd on their feet again when he broke back to level the third set at 3-3.&lt;/p&gt;

  16841.  
  16842.  
  16843.  
  16844. &lt;p&gt;Alcaraz was having none of it, though, once more regaining the advantage. &lt;/p&gt;
  16845.  
  16846.  
  16847.  
  16848. &lt;p&gt;“No, no!” yelled Tarvet in the eighth game when he buried a makeable&amp;nbsp;shot in the net.&lt;/p&gt;
  16849.  
  16850.  
  16851.  
  16852. &lt;p&gt;The Brit kept Alcaraz honest, forcing the reigning champion to serve it out.&lt;/p&gt;
  16853.  
  16854.  
  16855.  
  16856. &lt;p&gt;The match will have felt longer than two hours and 16 minutes to the Spaniard.&lt;/p&gt;
  16857.  
  16858.  
  16859.

  16918. &lt;p&gt;Speaking at the latest mega-money IBA show in &lt;span id=&quot;0ec06dbb-4a66-48a7-86e2-293792f69d56&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/span&gt;, Fury revealed: “Although AJ has been a rival of mine for ten years, he has been a fantastic advocate for British &lt;span id=&quot;19b80637-73b5-4e25-875a-ca86ddfa9271&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/span&gt; and has played the game well.&lt;/p&gt;
  16919.  
  16920.  
  16921.  
  16922. &lt;p&gt;“I wouldn’t say I hold all the &lt;span id=&quot;62fb6bf1-4023-4dc7-9150-7d2cf893f3fe&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;power&lt;/span&gt; over him but if he’s only sitting there and waiting for me to come, he could be waiting a long time.&lt;/p&gt;
  16923.  
  16924.  
  16925.  
  16926. &lt;p&gt;“He might be f***ing 60 by the time I decide I want him &amp;#8211; or it might be &lt;span id=&quot;0a86e1ae-fc26-4fb1-a10a-f81977ea7a7c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; week.&lt;/p&gt;
  16927.  
  16928.  
  16929.  
  16930. &lt;p&gt;“I am looking forward to contemplating the idea of returning.&lt;/p&gt;
  16931.  
  16932.  
  16933.  
  16934. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am taking it all onboard and I will make a decision in the forthcoming few months.”&lt;/p&gt;

  16942. &lt;p&gt;One thing that could still stand in the way of the biggest all-English fight in British &lt;span id=&quot;6585c210-7de6-44c9-a231-46b9096436c2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;3a3cc5bc-f0fb-4c8c-a7d5-0c2221327e83&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;history&lt;/span&gt; is Fury’s desire for a hometown crack at Usyk, after two desert defeats.&lt;/p&gt;
  16943.  
  16944.  
  16945.  
  16946. &lt;p&gt;He explained: “The all-British fight with Joshua will be big and if we both go to our grave &amp;#8211; without having fought each other &amp;#8211; it would be a travesty for British &lt;span id=&quot;f592d3e8-be67-43f5-aef4-0f531b4586b6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17027. Fabulous delves into how Paris and Tyson first met, plus when they tied the knot... &lt;/p&gt;
  17029. &lt;div&gt;
  17030. &lt;p&gt;Tyson was raised in an Irish Traveller family in Wythenshawe, Manchester, while Paris was raised in a traditional traveller family in Doncaster, South Yorks.&lt;/p&gt;
  17031. &lt;p&gt;The pair first met when she was 15-years-old at a mutual friend&amp;#8217;s wedding. &lt;/p&gt;
  17032. &lt;p&gt;They met again by chance at Paris&amp;#8217; 16th birthday and wed two years later in a traditional wedding in 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
  17033. &lt;p&gt;The lovebirds tied the knot at St. Peter-in-Chains Catholic Church in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, and invited 300 guests to the special day.&lt;/p&gt;
  17034. &lt;/div&gt;
  17035. &lt;/div&gt;
  17036. &lt;/div&gt;
  17038.  
  17039.  
  17040.  
  17041. &lt;p&gt;Fury&amp;#8217;s childhood sweetheart &lt;span id=&quot;c92080f2-13c0-4a0e-9a3c-c8b1df113391&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Paris&lt;/span&gt; lost their baby in the build-up to the first Usyk loss in May 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  17042.  
  17043.  
  17044.  
  17045. &lt;p&gt;Incredibly the mother of seven hid the devastating &lt;span id=&quot;6587e186-3518-4072-9923-25030b4bb701&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; from her man so he could focus on the fight.&lt;/p&gt;
  17046.  
  17047.  
  17048.  
  17049. &lt;p&gt;And Fury confirmed that heartbreaking scenario made this latest &amp;#8211; albeit predictably brief hiatus &amp;#8211; an easy one to enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;
  17050.  
  17051.  
  17052.  
  17053. &lt;p&gt;“Yes it made retirement a lot easier,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  17054.  
  17055.  
  17056.  
  17057. &lt;p&gt;“The hardest thing for me around that first Usyk fight was that I could not be there, for the person who has been there the most for me in my life, when she needed me the most.&lt;/p&gt;
  17058.  
  17059.  
  17060.  
  17061. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That was the toughest thing.”&lt;/p&gt;

  17136.  
  17137.  
  17138.  
  17139. &lt;p&gt;Katie opted for an up do with her raven locks, and wore bold beige sunglasses for the outing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17140.  
  17141.  
  17142.  
  17143. &lt;p&gt;She slung a bag over her shoulder as she was pictured walking onto the sandy beach in her sliders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  17148.  
  17149.  
  17150.  
  17151. &lt;p&gt;It comes just a day after Katie shared a first look &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35641830/katie-price-bikini-botched-brazilian-bum-lift-result-dubai/&quot;&gt;at the results of her botched Brazilian bum lift. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17152.  
  17153.  
  17154.  
  17155. &lt;p&gt;She was seen standing on a boat, while allowing the sea breeze to brush her &lt;span id=&quot;0328cece-6b4a-4bf9-a445-d13779089e86&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt; back and &lt;span id=&quot;462c19e7-4fb2-4975-8ff8-5f246156ce7f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;showcase&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/34595281/katie-price-facelift-tight-dog-wales-pantomime-surgery/&quot;&gt;her new £10K facelift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17156.  
  17157.  
  17158.  
  17159. &lt;p&gt;Yet after a few images showed her face-on towards the front of the boat, the surgery-loving star twirled to one side to give a glimpse of her filler-filled booty.&lt;/p&gt;
  17160.  
  17161.  
  17162.  
  17163. &lt;p&gt;She then turned around fully to showcase her derriere fully.&lt;/p&gt;
  17164.  
  17165.  
  17166.  
  17167. &lt;p&gt;Katie has admitted that her botched lift left her in agony, and the &lt;span id=&quot;ee6b45f4-dc86-4ebe-bc5c-39bc8c94c652&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Page 3&lt;/span&gt; icon even swore off having surgery in the UK for good.&lt;/p&gt;

  17195. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The bum,&amp;#8221; she replied, adding, &amp;#8220;I tried that BBL abroad where they take your own fat and put it in your bum.&lt;/p&gt;
  17196.  
  17197.  
  17198.  
  17199. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was so painful. And it just did not look right on me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17200.  
  17201.

  17204.  
  17205.  
  17206.  
  17207. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;I would never have surgery in &lt;span id=&quot;6bec74a2-6f0a-45c4-9668-e8e1788ff3a7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;England&lt;/span&gt; again. Ever, ever. I’d always have it abroad.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  17262. &lt;p&gt;BRYAN Kohberger has pleaded guilty to the murders of four University of Idaho students on Wednesday, bringing an abrupt end to the years-long mystery behind the slashing deaths.&lt;/p&gt;
  17263.  
  17264.  
  17265.

  17283.  
  17284.  
  17285.  
  17286. &lt;p&gt;Dressed in khakis and a shirt and tie, Kohberger entered the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho, to admit to murdering Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, on November 13, 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  17287.  
  17288.  
  17289.  
  17290. &lt;p&gt;When quizzed about the crime, the stone-faced killer spoke in public for the first time and solemnly answered the judge&amp;#8217;s questions with yes or no.&lt;/p&gt;
  17291.  
  17292.  
  17293.  
  17294. &lt;p&gt;At one point, the judge point-blank asked, &amp;#8220;Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?&amp;#8221; and Kohberger responded, &amp;#8220;Yes&amp;#8221; without showing any emotion.&lt;/p&gt;
  17295.  
  17296.  
  17297.  
  17298. &lt;p&gt;He admitted to devising a sick plot that ended with him bursting into a Moscow home at 4 am while wearing a mask and brutally stabbing the students to death with a military grade knife.&lt;/p&gt;
  17299.  
  17300.  
  17301.  
  17302. &lt;p&gt;The stunning U-turn came after Kohberger maintained his innocence for months, despite cops saying they uncovered DNA evidence, cellphone records, and other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35639803/bryan-kohberger-plea-deal-guilty-idaho-students-murder/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;clues tying him to the scene&lt;/a&gt; when he was arrested six weeks after the killings.&lt;/p&gt;
  17303.  
  17304.  
  17305.  
  17306. &lt;p&gt;Kohberger&amp;#8217;s lawyers were preparing to present alternate theories on what happened that bloody night when the trial began in August, and even the judge admitted he had no idea the proceedings would come to a halt.&lt;/p&gt;
  17307.  
  17308.  
  17309.  
  17310. &lt;p&gt;In Wednesday&amp;#8217;s hearing, Judge Steven&amp;nbsp;Hippler apologized to the families for the rushed meeting, and said he wasn&amp;#8217;t made aware of the plea change until Monday afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;
  17311.  
  17312.  
  17313.  
  17314. &lt;p&gt;The judge started the hearing by rebuking the public for calling his office and attempting to influence the court&amp;#8217;s decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  17315.  
  17316.  
  17317.  
  17318. &lt;p&gt;He defended prosecutors and said that it was up to their office to decide what charges they wished to pursue.&lt;/p&gt;
  17319.  
  17320.  
  17321.  
  17322. &lt;p&gt;Families of victims wiped their tears as they listened to his responses, while Steve Goncalves, Kaylee&amp;#8217;s dad, refused to enter the building as an act of protest against the deal.&lt;/p&gt;

  17350. &lt;p&gt;Kohberger&amp;#8217;s plea means that he will dodge what was expected to be a lengthy, high-profile trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  17351.  
  17352.  
  17353.  
  17354. &lt;p&gt;Outraged family members of the victims have blasted the move, as they hoped Kohberger would be forced to explain himself in front of a jury.&lt;/p&gt;
  17355.  
  17356.  
  17357.  
  17358. &lt;p&gt;Legal experts now speculate that he could keep his motives under wraps as part of the deal..&lt;/p&gt;
  17359.  
  17360.  
  17361.  
  17362. &lt;p&gt;Aubrie Goncalves, Kaylee&amp;#8217;s 18-year-old sister, described the last-minute move as &amp;#8220;shocking and cruel&amp;#8221; and said her family is &amp;#8220;beyond furious&amp;#8221; at how the deal was handled.&lt;/p&gt;
  17363.  
  17364.  
  17365.  
  17366. &lt;p&gt;Under Idaho law, prosecutors must consult with the family of victims before they can come to an agreement with a defendant. However, the Goncalves family claims they were just sent an email with the details.&lt;/p&gt;
  17367.  
  17368.  
  17369.  
  17370. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What the families of Ethan, Kaylee, Maddie, and Xana have endured over the past 2 year and a half is beyond comprehension,&amp;#8221; Aubrie wrote in a statement on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;

  17383.  
  17384.  
  17385.  
  17386. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The introduction of this plea deal, just weeks before the scheduled trial, is both shocking and cruel,&amp;#8221; Aubrie wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  17387.  
  17388.  
  17389.  
  17390. &lt;p&gt;The heartbroken sister said that she is &amp;#8220;not asking for vengeance&amp;#8221; but wanted &amp;#8220;accountability&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;dignity for our loved ones.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17391.  
  17392.  
  17393.  
  17394. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And we are asking—pleading—for a justice system that truly lives up to its name,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  17395.  
  17396.  
  17397.  
  17398. &lt;p&gt;Other families had different reactions to the news and said that they hope to finally move on once proceedings are over.&lt;/p&gt;
  17399.  
  17400.  
  17401.  
  17402. &lt;p&gt;Ben Mogen, Madison&amp;#8217;s dad, said that he was relieved to hear of the deal and hopes that other families can put the tragedy behind them.&lt;/p&gt;
  17403.  
  17404.  
  17405.  
  17406. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you get that quick death sentence, you don&amp;#8217;t have to spend decades thinking about how terrible you made the world,&amp;#8221; he told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cbsnews.com/news/idaho-murder-victims-families-divided-bryan-kohberger-plea-deal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CBS News&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17409.  
  17410. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We get to just think about the rest of lives and have to try and figure out how to do it without Maddie and the rest of the kids.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  17422. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  17423. On November 13, 2022, a brutal home invasion claimed the lives of four University of Idaho students. &lt;/p&gt;
  17425. &lt;div&gt;
  17426. &lt;p&gt;Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in a Moscow, Idaho, off-campus home.&lt;/p&gt;
  17427. &lt;p&gt;A six-week manhunt ensued as cops searched for a suspect. &lt;/p&gt;
  17428. &lt;p&gt;On December 30, 2022, Bryan Kohberger, 30, was arrested at his parents&amp;#8217; home in Pennsylvania &amp;#8211; 2,500 miles away from the crime scene.&lt;/p&gt;
  17429. &lt;p&gt;He was taken into custody and charged with four counts of first-degree murder.&lt;/p&gt;
  17430. &lt;p&gt;Kohberger, a former criminal justice student at Washington State University, was linked to the crime scene through phone records, his car&amp;#8217;s location, and DNA evidence found at the home where the murders took place.&lt;/p&gt;
  17431. &lt;p&gt;The house was demolished in December 2023 despite backlash from the victims&amp;#8217; families. &lt;/p&gt;
  17432. &lt;p&gt;Kohberger was held at Latah County Jail where he awaited trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  17433. &lt;p&gt;On September 9, 2024, an Idaho judge ruled to move the upcoming murder trial out of Moscow after Kohberger&amp;#8217;s lawyer argued that the town was prejudiced against him.&lt;/p&gt;
  17434. &lt;p&gt;The trial was expected to start in August 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  17435. &lt;p&gt;But on June 30, 2025, Kohberger struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the charges, according to court filings.&lt;/p&gt;
  17436. &lt;p&gt;The move was blasted by the victims&amp;#8217; families, who wanted Kohberger to face justice through a trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  17437. &lt;/div&gt;
  17438. &lt;/div&gt;
  17439. &lt;/div&gt;
  17441.  
  17442.  
  17443.  
  17444. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;HAUNTING CRIME&lt;/h2&gt;
  17445.  
  17446.  
  17447.  
  17448. &lt;p&gt;Kohberger was working towards a Ph.D. in criminology at nearby Washington State University when he attacked the young students.&lt;/p&gt;
  17449.  
  17450.  
  17451.  
  17452. &lt;p&gt;According to his phone records, which NBC&amp;#8217;s Dateline obtained, he obsessively looked up female students on Instagram, including sorority girls who were friends with some of the victims.&lt;/p&gt;
  17453.  
  17454.  
  17455.  
  17456. &lt;p&gt;Former classmates say that Kohberger struggled in school and was even disciplined for how he treated people in his cohort.&lt;/p&gt;
  17457.  
  17458.  
  17459.  
  17460. &lt;p&gt;In a response to the trial chaos, Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson penned a letter sharing his hopes that the families could now be at peace.&lt;/p&gt;
  17461.  
  17462.  
  17463.  
  17464. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We cannot fathom the toll that this case has taken on your family,&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;he said in the note seen by &lt;span&gt;the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article309739495.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;Idaho Statesman&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17465.  
  17466.  
  17467.  
  17468. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This resolution is our sincere attempt to seek justice for your family.&lt;/p&gt;
  17469.  
  17470.  
  17471.  
  17472. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This agreement ensures that the defendant will be convicted, will spend the rest of his life in prison, and will not be able to put you and other families through the uncertainty of decades of post-conviction appeals.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17473.  
  17474.  
  17475.  
  17476. &lt;p&gt;Kohberger pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. He will be sentenced on July 23.&lt;/p&gt;
  17477.  
  17478.  
  17479.  
  17480. &lt;p&gt;During his sentencing, victims will be able to read impact statements as he sits in the room.&lt;/p&gt;
  17481.

  17632.  
  17633. &lt;p&gt;SUMMER is here, and if you don&amp;#8217;t fancy shaving, waxing, or last-minute salon appointments, you’ll understand the appeal of a permanent hair removal device.&lt;/p&gt;
  17634.  
  17635.  
  17636.  
  17637. &lt;p&gt;Judging by how fast Keskine&amp;#8217;s device keeps selling out, it seems a lot of customers agree. For a limited time, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;shoppers&lt;/a&gt; can save 20% off.&lt;/p&gt;

  17651. &lt;/div&gt;
  17652.  
  17653.  
  17654.  
  17655. &lt;p&gt;Boasting an impressive 4.9 score online, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://go.linkby.com/GOEMZUWU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Keskine IPL Hair Removal Device (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Keskine IPL Hair Removal Device&lt;/a&gt; is an at-home gadget promising smoother, hair-free skin in a matter of weeks. &lt;/p&gt;
  17656.  
  17657.  
  17658.  
  17659. &lt;p&gt;Right now, the &lt;a aria-label=&quot;hair removal device (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://go.linkby.com/GOEMZUWU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;hair removal device&lt;/a&gt; has £100 off in the brand&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/shopping-summer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; sale, and it&amp;#8217;s down from £299 to £199.&lt;/p&gt;
  17660.  
  17661.  
  17662.  
  17663. &lt;p&gt;Sun readers can get an exclusive 20% off using the code &lt;strong&gt;THESUN20&lt;/strong&gt; at the checkout, which takes the total down to £159.20.&lt;/p&gt;
  17664.  
  17665.  
  17666.  
  17667. &lt;p&gt;The code is valid until July 31 at midnight. If you’ve been thinking about investing in a long-term hair removal solution, this might be the moment.&lt;/p&gt;
  17668.  
  17669.  
  17670.  
  17671. &lt;p&gt;Unlike razors or wax strips that offer a quick (and sometimes painful) fix, Keskine’s IPL device is designed for lasting results.&lt;/p&gt;
  17672.  
  17673.  
  17674.  
  17675. &lt;p&gt;It uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to target hair at the root, gradually reducing regrowth. &lt;/p&gt;
  17676.  
  17677.  
  17678.  
  17679. &lt;p&gt;The brand claims that shoppers will be able to see up to 98% hair reduction within just four weeks, with optimal results typically achieved by a majority in six to 12 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  17680.  
  17681.  
  17682.  
  17683. &lt;p&gt;The device can be used on various areas, from legs and underarms to the bikini line and even the face.&lt;/p&gt;
  17684.  
  17685.  
  17686.  
  17687. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;ll also save you plenty on costly and long appointments, as sessions with an IPL device are surprisingly quick, with a full body treatment taking just 24 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  17688.  
  17689.  
  17690.  
  17691. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35662607&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/keskine_3.webp?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Person holding a Keskine hair removal device.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35662607&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;keskine&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Optimal results typically take 6 to 12 weeks[/caption]

  17701. &lt;/div&gt;
  17702.  
  17703.  
  17704.  
  17705. &lt;p&gt;Although it&amp;#8217;s less painful than a wax session, one of the biggest complaints people have about at-home hair removal devices is the discomfort. &lt;/p&gt;
  17706.  
  17707.  
  17708.  
  17709. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://go.linkby.com/GOEMZUWU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Keskine (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Keskine&lt;/a&gt; gets around this with clever ice-cooling technology, which soothes the skin as you go. &lt;/p&gt;
  17710.  
  17711.  
  17712.  
  17713. &lt;p&gt;One happy shopper wrote in a five-star rating online: &amp;#8220;This is the best hair removal method I’ve tried. &lt;/p&gt;
  17714.  
  17715.  
  17716.  
  17717. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s so much easier and less painful than waxing or shaving. I’ve noticed a big difference after just a few uses.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17718.  
  17719.  
  17720.  
  17721. &lt;p&gt;A second comment read: &amp;#8220;I’ve been using this for about two months, and I’m amazed. My hair is so much lighter and slower to grow back. The results speak for themselves!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17722.  
  17723.  
  17724.  
  17725. &lt;p&gt;While a third buyer said: &amp;#8220;I love that I can use this from the comfort of my home instead of booking salon appointments. The convenience alone makes it worth it. &lt;/p&gt;
  17726.  
  17727.  
  17728.  
  17729. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Plus, my skin has never felt this soft!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17730.  
  17731.  
  17732.  
  17733. &lt;p&gt;For full peace of mind, &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Keskine (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://go.linkby.com/GOEMZUWU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow sponsored noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Keskine&lt;/a&gt; also offers a generous 90-day hair-free money-back guarantee when you buy through their official site. &lt;/p&gt;
  17734.  
  17735.  
  17736.  
  17737. &lt;p&gt;If you don’t see results or you’re not satisfied, you can return it for a refund.&lt;/p&gt;
  17738.  
  17739.  
  17740.  
  17741. &lt;p&gt;Remember to use the code &lt;strong&gt;THESUN20 &lt;/strong&gt;for an extra 20% off, taking your total down to £159.20.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17801.  
  17802.  
  17803.  
  17804. &lt;p&gt;The escort is known in the criminal underworld as the “Queen of Goodnight Cinderella”, according to Rio’s Special Police Station for Tourist Support.&lt;/p&gt;
  17805.  
  17806.  
  17807.  
  17808. &lt;p&gt;The nickname is local slang for Rohypnol, GHB, or any date-rape drug that renders victims vulnerable to assault or robbery.&lt;/p&gt;
  17809.  
  17810.  
  17811.  
  17812. &lt;p&gt;The 23-year-old is suspected of drugging, robbing and beating a Frenchman in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
  17813.  
  17814.  
  17815.  
  17816. &lt;p&gt;But this isn&amp;#8217;t the first time, with Sitas reportedly having dozens of entries for this kind of scam on her criminal record.&lt;/p&gt;
  17817.  
  17818.  
  17819.  
  17820. &lt;p&gt;Cops say she would target exclusively foreign tourists.&lt;/p&gt;
  17821.  
  17822.  
  17823.  
  17824. &lt;p&gt;The escort is estimated to have stolen over £13,000 worth of goods.&lt;/p&gt;
  17825.  
  17826.  
  17827.  
  17828. &lt;p&gt;Sitas was allegedly accompanied by two women when she approached her victim in the Lapa neighbourhood.&lt;/p&gt;
  17829.  
  17830.  
  17831.  
  17832. &lt;p&gt;The Frenchman said they talked and drank before going to Copacabana, where they continued to drink, before heading back to the city centre.&lt;/p&gt;
  17833.  
  17834.  
  17835.  
  17836. &lt;p&gt;He went on to explain that at some point during the night, he lost consciousness. &lt;/p&gt;
  17837.  
  17838.  
  17839.  
  17840. &lt;p&gt;But when he woke up, he was in A&amp;amp;E with multiple injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

  17955. &lt;p&gt;THE FINANCIAL markets were spooked by Rachel Reeves’ tearful scenes in the House of Commons today.&lt;/p&gt;
  17956.  
  17957.  
  17958.  
  17959. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Chancellor’s future&lt;/a&gt; was called into question which saw the bond markets rocked and the value of the pound tumble.&lt;/p&gt;

  17972.  
  17973.  
  17974.  
  17975. &lt;p&gt;The turmoil in the City kicked off as&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot;&gt; Sir Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; refused to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35662397/rachel-reeves-in-tears-in-commons/&quot;&gt;give her job security&lt;/a&gt; despite previous guarantees.&lt;/p&gt;
  17976.  
  17977.  
  17978.  
  17979. &lt;p&gt;In extraordinary scenes in the Commons, under-fire Reeves was seen wiping away tears as the PM spoke.&lt;/p&gt;
  17980.  
  17981.  
  17982.  
  17983. &lt;p&gt;The pound slid 1.14% to £1.358 against the US dollar following a new three-year high on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  17984.  
  17985.  
  17986.  
  17987. &lt;p&gt;Sterling also fell by 0.8% to 1.155 against the euro, striking its lowest level since April.&lt;/p&gt;
  17988.  
  17989.  
  17990.  
  17991. &lt;p&gt;The yield on 10-year gilts rose by 0.17 percentage points to 4.63% and 30-year gilt rose by 0.22 percentage points to 5.45%.&lt;/p&gt;
  17992.  
  17993.  
  17994.  
  17995. &lt;p&gt;These were the sharpest increases since &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/donald-trump/&quot;&gt;Donald Trump’s tariff plans&lt;/a&gt; shook up financial markets back in April.&lt;/p&gt;
  17996.  
  17997.  
  17998.  
  17999. &lt;p&gt;The rise in yields means it is more expensive for the government to pay off its debts.&lt;/p&gt;
  18000.  
  18001.  
  18002.  
  18003. &lt;p&gt;City traders are concerned that anyone who replaces her could mean the government’s strict fiscal rules could be thrown into doubt.&lt;/p&gt;
  18004.  
  18005.  
  18006.  
  18007. &lt;p&gt;But Whitehall insiders last night said those rules are iron-clad.&lt;/p&gt;
  18008.  
  18009.  
  18010.  
  18011. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35652135/universal-credit-disability-personal-independence-payments/&quot;&gt;U-turn on welfare cuts&lt;/a&gt; over the past week have led the government staring at a £4.8 billion hole raising the prospect of tax rises or spending cuts at the Budget.&lt;/p&gt;

  18035. &lt;p&gt;Susannah Streeter, from Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “The UK government has staked its reputation on providing stability for investors, so the scenes in parliament today, which appeared to show the Chancellor in distress, upset markets.&lt;/p&gt;
  18036.  
  18037.  
  18038.  
  18039. &lt;p&gt;“The pound fell sharply against the dollar and the euro, and government borrowing costs jumped.&lt;/p&gt;
  18040.  
  18041.  
  18042.  
  18043. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The worry is that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Chancellor&lt;/a&gt; risks falling off her fiscal tightrope, which she has so carefully being tip toeing along, following the revolt by backbench MPs.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18044.  
  18045.  
  18046.  
  18047. &lt;p&gt;“Investors are worrying that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Treasury&lt;/a&gt; may encounter more opposition to its plans to trim spending, in an effort to abide by its fiscal rules and keep bond markets onside.&lt;/p&gt;
  18048.  
  18049.  
  18050.  
  18051. &lt;p&gt;“This isn’t a mega strop out, but it’s a warning sign lobbed into Westminster.&lt;/p&gt;
  18052.  
  18053.  
  18054.  
  18055. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The pound remains around 12 per cent higher against the dollar since the start of the year, putting today’s falls into context.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18056.  
  18057.  
  18058.  
  18059. &lt;p&gt;Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, added “A government in retreat, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Chancellor&lt;/a&gt; in tears, and a gaping hole in the nation’s finances. It’s not been a good day for Labour in the House of Commons.&lt;/p&gt;
  18060.  
  18061.  
  18062.  
  18063. &lt;p&gt;“The Prime Minister gave&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt; less than convincing backing to his Chancellor&lt;/a&gt;, which will fuel speculation about whether Reeves will make it to the next fiscal event, let alone the end of the parliament.&lt;/p&gt;
  18064.  
  18065.  
  18066.  
  18067. &lt;p&gt;She added:  &amp;#8220;The reaction of the gilt market shows what a tightrope the government is walking with the public finances. &lt;/p&gt;
  18068.  
  18069.  
  18070.  
  18071. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Any suggestion of extra borrowing will be met with rising gilt interest costs, as we saw after&amp;nbsp;Truss&amp;nbsp;and Kwarteng&amp;#8217;s mini-Budget, and that will simply serve to add to the national debt.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18072.

  18084. &lt;div&gt;
  18085. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disability benefits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18086. &lt;p&gt;Any proposed changes to Personal Independence Payments now won&amp;#8217;t kick in until after a review has taken place.&lt;/p&gt;
  18087. &lt;p&gt;The PIP benefits &amp;#8211; the main disability welfare payment for those with a disability &amp;#8211; is subject to a review by Welfare Minister Sir Stephen Timms.&lt;/p&gt;
  18088. &lt;p&gt;The benefit payments are in place to help those affected with daily tasks such as mobility.&lt;/p&gt;
  18089. &lt;p&gt;Payments currently start at £1,500 but rise to £9,600 which are paid out even if someone is still working.&lt;/p&gt;
  18090. &lt;p&gt;The daily living rate comes in at £73.90 for the lower rate and £110.40 for the higher rate.&lt;/p&gt;
  18091. &lt;p&gt;Figures show that the mobility rate is worth £29.20 and rises to £77.05 for the higher rate.&lt;/p&gt;
  18092. &lt;p&gt;Ministers have revealed that 1,000 people per day are claiming PIP &amp;#8211; which is the equivalent of the size of Leicester every year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18093. &lt;p&gt;Following a major rebellion, those who are now claiming PIP be able to claim the same amount of money.&lt;/p&gt;
  18094. &lt;p&gt;But for new claimants from November 2026, there will be a set of stricter measures set out as the government aims to reduce spending on the benefits and get people back to work.&lt;/p&gt;
  18095. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Review by Sir Stephen Timms to delay PIP changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18096. &lt;p&gt;Welfare Minister Stephen Timms has told MPs that any changes to PIP eligibility will come in after his review has been published.&lt;/p&gt;
  18097. &lt;p&gt;The major concession came just 90 minutes before MPs were due to vote.&amp;nbsp; The Timms review is due to report in autumn 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
  18098. &lt;p&gt;His four-point eligibility criteria has been dropped entirely from the legislation.&lt;/p&gt;
  18099. &lt;p&gt;Now, disability groups will work with Timms on his review.&lt;/p&gt;
  18100. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Universal Credit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18101. &lt;p&gt;More than three million recipients of Universal Credit don’t have to find work due to their poor health.&lt;/p&gt;
  18102. &lt;p&gt;A single person who is aged 25 or over can receive the basic level of UC which comes in at £400.14 every month.&lt;/p&gt;
  18103. &lt;p&gt;But that can rise by a further £422.37 due to the incapacity top-up due to a disability or long-term condition &amp;#8211; more than doubling the original payment.&lt;/p&gt;
  18104. &lt;p&gt;The new plans mean that anyone up to the age of 22 will not be able to claim.&lt;/p&gt;
  18105. &lt;p&gt;Existing claimants will get £97 per week until the end of the decade.&amp;nbsp; But new claimants will only receive £50 a week in the next financial year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18106. &lt;p&gt;Ministers had tried to freeze the payment for the next four years but a commitment has been made for it to go up with inflation.&lt;/p&gt;
  18107. &lt;p&gt;Employment support package&lt;/p&gt;
  18108. &lt;p&gt;Welfare Secretary Liz Kendall will spend an extra £300 million on employment support she insists is the biggest disability employment support package for a generation.&lt;/p&gt;
  18109. &lt;p&gt;The cash will be spent on trying to get those claiming sickness benefits back into work. A total of £1 billion will be spent in 2028/29.&lt;/p&gt;
  18110. &lt;/div&gt;
  18111. &lt;/div&gt;
  18112. &lt;/div&gt;
  18114.  
  18115.  
  18116.  
  18117. &lt;p&gt;In recent days Ms Reeves has&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35656959/welfare-spending-tax-rises-rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt; taken flak from her own colleagues &lt;/a&gt;over the government&amp;#8217;s botched handling of their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; package.&lt;/p&gt;
  18118.  
  18119.  
  18120.  
  18121. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35652276/welfare-benefit-changes-bill-vote/&quot;&gt;The biggest rebellion of Labour&amp;#8217;s term in office&lt;/a&gt; so far last night saw 49 MPs oppose their heavily-gutted welfare reforms.&lt;/p&gt;
  18122.  
  18123.  
  18124.  
  18125. &lt;p&gt;MPs have told The Sun Ms Reeves appeared &amp;#8220;in tears&amp;#8221; ahead of taking her place in PMQs at noon.&lt;/p&gt;
  18126.  
  18127.  
  18128.  
  18129. &lt;p&gt;Putting the boot in during the exchanges, Tory leader Ms Badenoch said: &amp;#8220;This man has forgotten that his welfare bill was there to plug a blackhole created by the Chancellor. &lt;/p&gt;
  18130.  
  18131.  
  18132.  
  18133. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Instead they’re creating new ones. She looks absolutely miserable. Labour MPs are going on the record saying the chancellor is toast.&lt;/p&gt;
  18134.  
  18135.  
  18136.  
  18137. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The reality is she’s a human shield for his incompetence. Will she really be in post for the next election?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  18201.  
  18202.  
  18203.  
  18204. &lt;p&gt;And not only did she flog the freebie, but she managed to sell it for £10 &amp;#8211; yes, you heard that correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
  18205.  
  18206.  
  18207.  
  18208. &lt;p&gt;Eager to share more on her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/side-hustle/&quot;&gt;side hustle&lt;/a&gt; with others, Kirsty took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; to show off the gin bottle she recently sold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18209.  
  18210.  
  18211.  
  18212. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;content creator&lt;/a&gt; held up the empty Whitley Neill Quince Gin bottle and said: “I have just sold a piece of actual rubbish on eBay.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18213.  
  18214.  
  18215.  
  18216. &lt;p&gt;Stunned by the sale, she beamed: “This sale has blown my mind &amp;#8211; it is this gin bottle which I found on the floor by a bottle bank.&lt;/p&gt;
  18217.  
  18218.  
  18219.  
  18220. &lt;p&gt;“When this was new and full of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alcohol/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;gin&lt;/a&gt;, this was sold for between £20 and £25.&lt;/p&gt;
  18221.  
  18222.  
  18223.  
  18224. &lt;p&gt;“When I saw it I thought, people like these coloured glasses for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/16351200/upcycling-old-furniture-easy-money-spinner/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;upcycling&lt;/a&gt; projects and things like that, so I knew someone on eBay would buy it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18225.  
  18226.  
  18227.  
  18228. &lt;p&gt;Kirsty explained that she &amp;#8220;aimed quite high” with her listing, as she added: “I listed this at £9.99 and somebody did pay that full price I was asking, which is crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
  18229.  
  18230.  
  18231.  
  18232. &lt;p&gt;“A tenner for something that was literally going to go in the bin.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18233.  
  18234.  
  18235.  
  18236. &lt;p&gt;As a result of her sale, Kirsty advised other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34239762/charity-shop-jackpot-designer-shoes-people-rage-reseller/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;resellers&lt;/a&gt;: “Do look out for glasses which are coloured, or they&amp;#8217;re more unique or unusual because people do like to collect them, or like I said, they like to use them for their upcycling projects.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18237.  
  18238.  
  18239.  
  18240. &lt;p&gt;Detailing how she would be sending out the bottle, she confirmed: “I&amp;#8217;ll be wrapping this in a lot of bubble wrap, popping it in a sturdy box and then padding out the box some more.&lt;/p&gt;

  18312. NEW to eBay? It&amp;#039;s head of secondhand, Emma Grant, reveals how to optimise your listings: &lt;/p&gt;
  18314. &lt;div&gt;
  18315. &lt;ol type=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
  18316. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use key words&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; eBay automatically filters listing titles for key words, so it&amp;#8217;s crucial to use the terminology people search for &amp;#8211; especially brand and product names.  &lt;/li&gt;
  18317. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose the right category for your product&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; It might sound obvious but it’s important to always choose the most specific category to sell in. &lt;/li&gt;
  18318. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pictures are important&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Most users will not bid on items they cannot see. For best results, take photos in natural light against a neutral background and be honest about any scratches or damage to the item.  &lt;/li&gt;
  18319. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be as detailed as possible&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Be honest about the condition of the product and be sure to note any wear and tear.&lt;/li&gt;
  18320. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look at past sold items&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211;  eBay has a function that allows you to search for the item you want to sell and then filter the results by sold items. Here, you can view the price the item has sold for and get insight into how others have listed it.  &lt;/li&gt;
  18321. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Selling Sundays&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Get the timing right. The busiest time for buyers is Sunday evenings, so schedule your listings to end around that time. Opt for seven-day auctions to ensure the max number of bids. The longer your item is listed, the more chance of people seeing it, so unless it&amp;#8217;s time-sensitive, pick seven days.  December is the busiest month on eBay.&lt;/li&gt;
  18322. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be realistic with pricing&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Try searching for similar items on eBay, to make sure you’re going for the right price and always ask yourself &amp;#8220;would I pay this price for this item?&amp;#8221;&lt;/li&gt;
  18323. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Donate to charity&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; When listing your item, consider donating a percentage of the sale to a cause of your choice – from 10% to 100% &amp;#8211; you can donate the funds raised from your item straight from the platform. &lt;/li&gt;
  18324. &lt;/ol&gt;
  18325. &lt;/div&gt;
  18326. &lt;/div&gt;
  18327. &lt;/div&gt;
  18329.  
  18330.  
  18331.  
  18332. &lt;p&gt;Whilst someone else simply wrote: “Genius!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18333.  
  18334.  
  18335.  
  18336. &lt;p&gt;At the same time, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35147059/vinted-writing-descriptions-chatgpt-sell-quick/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Vinted&lt;/a&gt; seller claimed: &amp;#8220;Honestly you will be surprised, I sold a £1 coin for £6 on Vinted.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18337.  
  18338.  
  18339.

  18368. &lt;p&gt;THERE&amp;#8217;S a beach in Cornwall that has been called &amp;#8220;as good as Australia&amp;#8221; with soft white sand banks and bright blue seas.&lt;/p&gt;

  18385.  
  18386.  
  18387.  
  18388. &lt;p&gt;Someone else added: &amp;#8220;When the sun comes out, you could be on any beach in the world. This beach is stunning. Pure&amp;nbsp;white, soft sand.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  18389.  
  18390.  
  18391.  
  18392. &lt;p&gt;Another reason as to why Porthcurno has been compared to Australian and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/caribbean/&quot;&gt;Caribbean&lt;/a&gt; beaches is its warmth.&lt;/p&gt;
  18393.  
  18394.  
  18395.  
  18396. &lt;p&gt;In fact, it&amp;#8217;s the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://helios.iframe.thesun.co.uk/travel/20074735/uk-beach-warm-autumn-norfolk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;beach is the second warmest in the UK&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;outside the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; months.&lt;/p&gt;
  18397.  
  18398.  
  18399.  
  18400. &lt;p&gt;The Porthcurno Beach boasts an average temperature of&amp;nbsp;13.1C&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/autumn/&quot;&gt;autumn&lt;/a&gt;, which is still warm enough to enjoy, but worth taking an extra layer just to be on the safe side.&lt;/p&gt;
  18401.  
  18402.  
  18403.  
  18404. &lt;p&gt;The town is also home to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34337008/cornwall-village-greece-theatre/&quot;&gt;Minack Theatre&lt;/a&gt;, an open-air performance space that overlooks the ocean. &lt;/p&gt;
  18405.  
  18406.  
  18407.  
  18408. &lt;p&gt;And just a 10-minutes walk away from the beach, is &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.treenfarmcampsite.com/index.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Treen Farm Campsite&lt;/a&gt;, and nearly all the pitches have sea views too. &lt;/p&gt;
  18409.  
  18410.  
  18411.  
  18412. &lt;p&gt;All pitches are supplied with picnic benches so during the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; you can eat dinner alfresco.&lt;/p&gt;
  18413.  
  18414.  
  18415.  
  18416. &lt;p&gt;There are token-operated hot showers on site, toilets, washing up and laundry facilities too.&lt;/p&gt;
  18417.  
  18418.  
  18419.  
  18420. &lt;p&gt;On-site is a small shop for supplies like milk, eggs, bread rolls, local meats, wines and beers &amp;#8211; as well as BBQs. &lt;/p&gt;

  18453.  
  18454.

  18457.  
  18458.  
  18459.  
  18460. &lt;p&gt;Anyone wanting to camp at Treen Farm Campsite cannot book as it operates on a first come, first served basis. &lt;/p&gt;
  18461.  
  18462.  
  18463.

  18465.  
  18466.  
  18467.  
  18468. &lt;p&gt;To pitch a medium tent (3-4 man) cost £7 per night during peak season.&lt;/p&gt;
  18469.  
  18470.  
  18471.  
  18472. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s an additional fee of £11 for adults during peak season, and £6 for children.&lt;/p&gt;

  18485.  
  18486.  
  18487.  
  18488. &lt;p&gt;Another famous beach for white sands that is just around the corner is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/28766193/pedn-vounder-cornwall-beach-uk-sand/&quot;&gt;Pedn Vounder Beach&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18489.  
  18490.  
  18491.  
  18492. &lt;p&gt;The beach is tucked away near Land&amp;#8217;s End and used to be a hidden gem, now it&amp;#8217;s very well-known and popular in the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  18493.  
  18494.  
  18495.  
  18496. &lt;p&gt;Last year, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/28766193/pedn-vounder-cornwall-beach-uk-sand/&quot;&gt;Pedn Vounder Beach was named one of the best in the world&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  18500. &lt;p&gt;Ranking it 25th in the world, Big 7 wrote: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cornwall/&quot;&gt;Cornwall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has long been a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;getaway destination for local families, but its gorgeous coastline has caught the eye of international travellers.&lt;/p&gt;
  18501.  
  18502.  
  18503.  
  18504. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Combining crystal clear blue water and white sand, it’s proof that you don’t need to hotfoot to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/caribbean/&quot;&gt;Caribbean&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for a tropical island-inspired getaway.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18578.  
  18579.  
  18580.  
  18581. &lt;p&gt;But the 12th seed took an absolute age to return and it infuriated &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; commentator John Lloyd.&lt;/p&gt;
  18582.  
  18583.  
  18584.  
  18585. &lt;p&gt;He accused Tiafoe of trying to kill &amp;#8220;the momentum of the game&amp;#8221; during the stoppage that lasted just over seven minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  18586.  
  18587.  
  18588.  
  18589. &lt;p&gt;Lloyd said: &amp;#8220;We have seen this before with players. &lt;/p&gt;

  18591.  
  18592.  
  18593. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They come off at 2-1 down, go and have a bathroom break, change of shirt break, they come back and play completely differently.&lt;/p&gt;

  18601. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But this, to me, I don&amp;#8217;t agree with this at all. I think this is wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

  18622.

  18733.  
  18734.  
  18735.  
  18736. &lt;p&gt;Then, on June 26, 884 were made after an argument between Yasmin and Ben.&lt;/p&gt;
  18737.  
  18738.  
  18739.  
  18740. &lt;p&gt;The dispute began when Ben ended their relationship, saying he needed to “take a step back”.&lt;/p&gt;
  18741.  
  18742.  
  18743.  
  18744. &lt;p&gt;And, on June 27, 131 came in after Helena and Harrison shared a kiss in the hideaway.&lt;/p&gt;
  18745.  
  18746.  
  18747.  
  18748. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ofcom/&quot;&gt;Ofcom&lt;/a&gt;, viewers accuse the show of failing to intervene appropriately.&lt;/p&gt;
  18749.  
  18750.  
  18751.  
  18752. &lt;p&gt;The broadcasting regulator is currently assessing the complaints before deciding whether to launch a formal &lt;span id=&quot;d189ebbb-046a-415f-ad3c-750d5cfda2f3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18761.  
  18762.  
  18763.  
  18764. &lt;p&gt;The islanders were given the infamous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35618433/love-island-shakira-tears-harry-snog-marry-pie/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;snog, marry or pie&lt;/a&gt; task on tonight&amp;#8217;s episode of the long-running &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv2/&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/a&gt; show. &lt;/p&gt;

  18812. &lt;p&gt;After doing the deed, &lt;span id=&quot;75b23a23-6e21-4ea5-995f-93a1506b2f05&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Shakira&lt;/span&gt; remarked: &amp;#8220;He still think he&amp;#8217;s in with a chance.

  18816. &lt;p&gt;Whilst Megan Moore said: &amp;#8220;The way he&amp;#8217;s been speaking to girls, I just don&amp;#8217;t like it. I don&amp;#8217;t think it&amp;#8217;s very respectful&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18844. &lt;p&gt;Later on Aftersun &amp;#8211; hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/maya-jama/&quot;&gt;Maya Jama&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/olivia-buckland/&quot;&gt;Olivia&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alex-bowen/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alex Bowen&lt;/a&gt; admitted they felt uncomfortable by the way he spoke to women.&lt;/p&gt;
  18845.  
  18846.  
  18847.  
  18848. &lt;p&gt;Many viewers took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter-2/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;X &amp;#8211; formerly known as Twitter&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; as they begged producers to send Ben packing. &lt;/p&gt;
  18849.  
  18850.  
  18851.  
  18852. &lt;p&gt;They claimed that all of the girls have started to pick up on his &amp;#8216;misogynistic&amp;#8217; behaviour. &lt;/p&gt;
  18853.  
  18854.  
  18855.  
  18856. &lt;p&gt;One fan noted: &amp;#8220;See the way they’re calling out Ben’s misogyny and he’s still there is crazy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18857.  
  18858.  
  18859.  
  18860. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Meg is now clocking Ben’s misogyny,&amp;#8221; stated a second user.&lt;/p&gt;
  18861.  
  18862.  
  18863.  
  18864. &lt;p&gt;While a third commented: &amp;#8220;Alima is such an it girl. Love the way she clocked Ben in his misogyny.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18865.  
  18866.  
  18867.  
  18868. &lt;p&gt;Someone else wrote: &amp;#8220;Ben need to look in the mirror and ask himself why most of the girls think you’re a n******.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18869.  
  18870.  
  18871.  
  18872. &lt;p&gt;As a fifth fumed: &amp;#8220;I actually need Ben out of my villa tomorrow. His mere presence p***** me off.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18890.  
  18891.  
  18892.  
  18893. &lt;p&gt;And a seventh added: &amp;#8220;Mmmmmmmmm producers get Ben out NOWWWWWWWWW.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18894.  
  18895.  
  18896.  
  18897. &lt;p&gt;Ben has previously gotten on both the wrong side of fans and the girls in the villa with some of his savage comments. &lt;/p&gt;
  18898.  
  18899.  
  18900.  
  18901. &lt;p&gt;In an argument with Yaz, he remarked: &amp;#8220;No one rated you when you were in here let&amp;#8217;s say.
