  43. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;SELF-driving vehicles could be zipping along UK roads by 2026, according to the Government.&lt;/p&gt;
  44.  
  45.  
  46.  
  47. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/27672612/self-driving-cars-bill-new-law-uk/&quot;&gt;Automated Vehicles Bill&lt;/a&gt; means motorists will not be held responsible for the action of a vehicle in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driverless-cars/&quot;&gt;self-driving mode&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  52.  
  53.  
  54.  
  55. &lt;p&gt;Insurers, manufacturers and software developers will instead be the ones liable &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/27672612/self-driving-cars-bill-new-law-uk/&quot;&gt;when something goes wrong&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  56.  
  57.  
  58.  
  59. &lt;p&gt;Transport Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mark-harper/&quot;&gt;Mark Harper&lt;/a&gt; said the landmark legislation means self-driving motors can be rolled out in Britain &amp;#8220;as soon as 2026&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  60.  
  61.  
  62.  
  63. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;This new law is a milestone moment for our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driverless-cars/page/2/&quot;&gt;self-driving industry&lt;/a&gt; which has the potential to change the way we travel forever.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  64.  
  65.  
  66.  
  67. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/department-for-transport/&quot;&gt;Department for Transport (DfT)&lt;/a&gt; said the legislation delivers &amp;#8220;the most comprehensive legal framework of its kind worldwide&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  68.  
  69.  
  70.  
  71. &lt;p&gt;But it stressed that self-driving motors must achieve a level of safety at least as high as &amp;#8220;careful and competent human drivers&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  72.  
  73.  
  74.  
  75. &lt;p&gt;The Government have previously said 88 percent of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28030533/bloodied-car-crash-victims-selfies/&quot;&gt;accidents involve human error&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  76.  
  77.  
  78.  
  79. &lt;p&gt;Trials of autonomous vehicle technology are ongoing across the UK, such as by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27786866/wayve-british-driverless-car-firm-investment/&quot;&gt;Wayve in London&lt;/a&gt; and Oxa in Oxford.&lt;/p&gt;
  80.  
  81.  
  82.  
  83. &lt;p&gt;It is hoped the technology will boost productivity across society.&lt;/p&gt;
  84.  
  85.  
  86.  
  87. &lt;p&gt;Mike Hawes, CEO of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said the new law was a &amp;#8220;watershed moment&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107. &lt;p&gt;Men from 47 Commando stormed Tregantle Beach, near Torpoint, in inflatable raiding craft to recreate a D-Day mission carried out by the Allies in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/france/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  113.  
  114.  
  115. &lt;p&gt;Next month, 31 Marines from the unit will land on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11091251/d-day-normandy-mbe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Normandy’s Gold Beach&lt;/a&gt; to commemorate the 80th anniversary of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/d-day/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;D-Day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  116.  
  117.  
  118.  
  119. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, it has been revealed two planes have now been made available for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27999719/soldiers-france-d-day-plane-shortage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Paras to jump from to mark the anniversary&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  120.  
  121.  
  122.  
  123. &lt;p&gt;We &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28013069/raf-find-aircraft-d-day-80th-commemorations/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;told yesterday how only one was spare&lt;/a&gt;, prompting Defence Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/grant-shapps/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Grant Shapps&lt;/a&gt; to intervene.&lt;/p&gt;
  124.  
  125.  
  126.  
  127. &lt;p&gt;Defence Minister &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/26123887/armed-forces-spending-billions-drone-tech/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;James Cartlidge&lt;/a&gt; confirmed two A400s will now be taking part, with 181 people participating in the mass parachute drop.&lt;/p&gt;
  128.  
  129.  
  130.  
  131. &lt;p&gt;He told the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/house-of-commons/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Commons&lt;/a&gt;: “The truth about the position in relation to D-Day, we will have two A400Ms available for June 5.&lt;/p&gt;
  132.  
  133.  
  134.  
  135. &lt;p&gt;“The number of people that will be dropped is 181 and there’s a very good reason for that.&lt;/p&gt;
  136.  
  137.  
  138.  
  139. &lt;p&gt;“It’s 181 because that is the number of paratroopers who at 16 minutes past midnight on D-Day itself landed and took the bridge that we named Pegasus.”&lt;/p&gt;
  140.  
  141.  
  142.  
  143. &lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/army/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Armed Forces&lt;/a&gt; Minister Mark Francois later raised a point of order to tell Mr Cartlidge: “Pegasus Bridge was captured in a glider-borne assault by the Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, not a parachute assault.&lt;/p&gt;
  144.  
  145.  
  146.  
  147. &lt;p&gt;“I know this because for D-Day 70 I was there with the then prime minister, David Cameron, at 12.16am to commemorate the assault.”&lt;/p&gt;

  179. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ELVIS Presley&amp;#8217;s historic Graceland home could be sold off at a foreclosure auction this week if appeals by surviving family members are unsuccessful. &lt;/p&gt;
  180.  
  181.  
  182.  
  183. &lt;p&gt;According to a legal notice filed this month, the property and its surrounding land is due to be auctioned off to the highest bidder at Shelby County Courthouse in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 23. &lt;/p&gt;
  184.  
  185.

  200.  
  201.  
  202.  
  203. &lt;p&gt;Naussany Investments and Private Lending claims Keough&amp;#8217;s mother, Lisa Marie Presley, took out a $3.8 million loan using the property as collateral in 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. &lt;p&gt;It claims Lisa Marie signed a&amp;nbsp;Deed of Trust to secure the loan that year, but it alleged she never paid the debt back before her death at the age of 54 last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  208.  
  209.  
  210.  
  211. &lt;p&gt;Keough, meanwhile, argues the loan is fake, insisting it was not executed by her mother.&lt;/p&gt;
  212.  
  213.  
  214.  
  215. &lt;p&gt;“These documents are fraudulent,” Keough&amp;#8217;s lawsuit, filed May 15 in Shelby County Chancery Court, states.&lt;/p&gt;
  216.  
  217.  
  218.  
  219. &lt;p&gt;She goes onto claim the signatures on the deed are forgeries and goes even further to allege that Naussany Investments is not a real entity.&lt;/p&gt;
  220.  
  221.  
  222.  
  223. &lt;p&gt;In the lawsuit, she claims the notary involved in the deed has denied verifying Lisa Marie&amp;#8217;s signature or even having ever met her.&lt;/p&gt;
  224.  
  225.  
  226.  
  227. &lt;p&gt;A temporary restraining order to halt the sale was granted by the court on Monday and an&amp;nbsp;injunction hearing is set for Wednesday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  228.  
  229.  
  230.

  232.  
  233.  
  234.  
  235. &lt;p&gt;Presley moved into Graceland with his family in 1957 during the height of his career.&lt;/p&gt;
  236.  
  237.  
  238.  
  239. &lt;p&gt;The megastar bought the 13.8-acre estate for $102,500, the same year he recorded fan favorite hits Blue Christmas and All Shook Up.&lt;/p&gt;
  240.  
  241.  
  242.  
  243. &lt;p&gt;His daughter Lisa Marie is understood to have inherited Graceland after Elvis&amp;#8217;s death in 1977.&lt;/p&gt;
  244.  
  245.  
  246.  
  247. &lt;p&gt;By 1982, she had helped convert it into a museum and tourist destination.&lt;/p&gt;
  248.  
  249.  
  250.  
  251. &lt;p&gt;In a survey last year, the property was named the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wreg.com/news/graceland-in-memphis-named-most-popular-museum-in-us-report/&quot;&gt;most popular museum in the United States&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  267. Elvis crafted some of his most famous hits at Graceland, including Blue Christmas and All Shook Up. Here&amp;#039;s everything you need to know. &lt;/p&gt;
  268. &lt;div&gt;
  269. &lt;p&gt;Graceland is located at 3763 Elvis Presley Blvd in Memphis, Tennessee.&lt;/p&gt;
  270. &lt;p&gt;It was constructed in 1939 by Ruth Brown Moore and her husband Thomas D. Moore, which named the property Graceland after Ruth&amp;#8217;s aunt Grace who originally owned the land.&lt;/p&gt;
  271. &lt;p&gt;Elvis purchased the property in 1957 and immediately moved in with his young family — wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa Marie Presley.&lt;/p&gt;
  272. &lt;p&gt;Elvis&amp;#8217; father, Vernon Presley, took over the trust managing Graceland along with the property itself after Elvis&amp;#8217;s death in 1977, per directions in the star&amp;#8217;s will. &lt;/p&gt;
  273. &lt;p&gt;The family decided to turn Graceland into a museum and tribute to the King of Rock &amp;amp; Roll, which opened in 1982. &lt;/p&gt;
  274. &lt;p&gt;Ownership of Graceland transferred to Lisa Marie when she turned 25 in 1993. &lt;/p&gt;
  275. &lt;p&gt;Graceland again changed ownership when Lisa Marie died suddenly in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  276. &lt;p&gt;Elvis&amp;#8217; granddaughter Riley Keough took procession of the estate after her mother&amp;#8217;s death. &lt;/p&gt;
  277. &lt;/div&gt;
  278. &lt;/div&gt;
  279. &lt;/div&gt;
  280.  
  281.  
  282.  
  283. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/23052577/lisa-marie-presleys-cause-of-death-revealed-elvis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lisa Marie was found unresponsive&lt;/a&gt; in her California home on January 12, 2023. She was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead hours later. &lt;/p&gt;
  284.  
  285.  
  286.  
  287. &lt;p&gt;A later autopsy report found the star died from complications due to a small bowel obstruction.&lt;/p&gt;
  288.  
  289.  
  290.  
  291. &lt;p&gt;The report said a small amount of Oxycodone, an opioid, was found in her system, which was attributed to a valid prescription she had received following cosmetic surgery some months previous.  &lt;/p&gt;
  292.  
  293.  
  294.  
  295. &lt;p&gt;She also had therapeutic levels of anti-anxiety drug, Buprenorphine, and traces of Quetiapine, an antipsychotic.&lt;/p&gt;
  296.  
  297.  
  298.  
  299. &lt;p&gt;Her urine toxicology was otherwise negative and no drug paraphernalia or narcotics were found at her home, the coroner report said.&lt;/p&gt;
  300.  
  301.  
  302.  
  303. &lt;p&gt;Lisa Marie was buried at Graceland next to her son, Benjamin Keough, who died at the age of 27 by suicide in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  304.  
  305.  
  306.  
  307. &lt;p&gt;Both are buried in the property&amp;#8217;s Meditation Garden.&lt;/p&gt;
  308.

  340. &lt;p&gt;The Dutch model, 25, wore a white dress and heels for a London photoshoot to promote her collection with Lipsy.&lt;/p&gt;
  341.

  349.  
  350.  
  351.  
  352. &lt;p&gt;The Sun told last month how Jude, 20, had flown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27814740/inside-jude-bellingham-lifestyle-madrid-girlfriend/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Laura over to &lt;span id=&quot;fad39bde-eff0-407f-9393-4f1f732404b1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/span&gt; to enjoy a dinner date&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  353.  
  354.  
  355.  
  356. &lt;p&gt;She has now become a staple of his Madrid lifestyle, hitting the city&amp;#8217;s hotspots while he keeps his low-key persona in check.&lt;/p&gt;
  357.  
  358.  
  359.  
  360. &lt;p&gt;He lives in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24958444/jude-bellingham-madrid-records/&quot;&gt;the exclusive La Finca neighbourhood&lt;/a&gt;, where many of his team-mates reside.&lt;/p&gt;
  361.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. &lt;p&gt;While he loves nothing more than sipping on cans of Fanta, or visiting his local coffee shop where he&amp;#8217;s known simply just as &amp;#8216;Jude&amp;#8217; and not the superstar footballer he is.&lt;/p&gt;
  365.  
  366.  
  367.  
  368. &lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jude-bellingham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jude &lt;/a&gt;moved to Madrid, his family made the very conscious of decision to support their sons in the best way possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  369.  
  370.  
  371.  
  372. &lt;p&gt;Jude&amp;#8217;s younger brother&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jobe-bellingham/&quot;&gt;Jobe&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;moved to Sunderland last &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt;, the same month the Three Lions star completed his dream transfer to the Bernabeu.&lt;/p&gt;
  373.  
  374.  
  375.  
  376. &lt;p&gt;Their mum and dad &amp;#8211; Denise and Mark &amp;#8211; made the decision to uproot from Stourbridge at the cost of their time together.&lt;/p&gt;
  377.  
  378.  
  379.  
  380. &lt;p&gt;Mark, who was until 2022 a sergeant with West Midlands &lt;span id=&quot;9449d94f-bf4c-4a0e-9eb0-099068af9a04&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/span&gt;, moved with Jobe to Wearside.&lt;/p&gt;
  381.  
  382.  
  383.  
  384. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22631392/jude-bellingham-family-mum-dad-real-madrid/&quot;&gt;Devoted mum Denise&lt;/a&gt; made the sacrifice to leave the UK, spending time apart from her husband, to live with Jude in Madrid.&lt;/p&gt;

  419. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;EXPERTS have revealed three questions that drivers should ask before getting car insurance premiums.&lt;/p&gt;
  420.  
  421.  
  422.  
  423. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/insurance/&quot;&gt;Insurance&lt;/a&gt; can be a costly ordeal but these questions could help you save up to £600.&lt;/p&gt;
  424.  
  425.  
  426.  
  427. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033844&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/2024/05/2c74amn-man-driving-car-side-898843670_d78b4a.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033844&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;Only three questions can help motorists save money on insurance premiums[/caption]
  428.  
  429.  
  430.  
  431. &lt;p&gt;The cost of insuring your vehicle has always worried motorists especially with reports of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/27945301/car-insurance-firms-ripping-drivers-off/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;greedy companies ripping drivers off.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  432.  
  433.  
  434.  
  435. &lt;p&gt;Over half of Brits had to fork out up to £100 extra on their premiums last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  436.  
  437.  
  438.  
  439. &lt;p&gt;But there are ways to slash down costs of your insurance.&lt;/p&gt;
  440.  
  441.  
  442.  
  443. &lt;p&gt;Liz Hunter at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;Money&lt;/a&gt; Expert has advised drivers to ask three essential questions before choosing a plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  444.  
  445.  
  446.  
  447. &lt;p&gt;The questions are: &amp;#8220;Do I consider myself a safe and confident driver?&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;Am I comfortable with my data being collected?&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Do I rarely drive at night?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  448.  
  449.  
  450.  
  451. &lt;p&gt;If all three are answered with a &amp;#8220;yes&amp;#8221;, then the expert has recommended opting for a &amp;#8220;black box&amp;#8221; insurance.&lt;/p&gt;
  452.  
  453.  
  454.  
  455. &lt;p&gt;“Black box” policies reward safe motorists for careful &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; habits as they monitor acceleration, speed and harshness of braking, as well as mileage and the times of day drivers go out.&lt;/p&gt;
  456.  
  457.  
  458.  
  459. &lt;p&gt;It is a relatively new type of insurance, mostly used by young motorists, who want to save up and prove they are safe on the roads.&lt;/p&gt;
  460.  
  461.  
  462.  
  463. &lt;p&gt;But it turns out they’re not just for&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/2759814/student-saved-640-on-her-car-insurance-using-a-little-black-box-heres-how-you-can-do-it-too/&quot;&gt; teenagers ripping up their L-plates&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; experts say they’re a money-saving boon for older drivers, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  464.  
  465.  
  466.  
  467. &lt;p&gt;According to the British Insurance Brokers’ Association, black box can shave up to 60 per cent off your current insurance.&lt;/p&gt;
  468.

  488.  
  489.  
  490. &lt;p&gt;With premiums averaging at £995, this could help you save up to £600 in some cases.&lt;/p&gt;
  491.  
  492.  
  493.  
  494. &lt;p&gt;But you should be confident in your driving skills if you choose black box insurance.&lt;/p&gt;
  495.  
  496.  
  497.  
  498. &lt;p&gt;Prices are based on your driving score, and if you are a reckless driver or not careful, punishments could be severe.&lt;/p&gt;
  499.  
  500.  
  501.  
  502. &lt;p&gt;If you speed, brake heavily or drive dangerously, it will lower your score and you get a warning.&lt;/p&gt;
  503.  
  504.  
  505.  
  506. &lt;p&gt;Even doing 25mph in a 20mph zone could land you with extra costs or even a cancelled policy.&lt;/p&gt;
  507.  
  508.  
  509.  
  510. &lt;p&gt;With many policies, more than one warning within a short period of time — 30 or 60 days — can lead to a fine or the policy being cancelled. The latter makes it very expensive to get insurance in &lt;span id=&quot;5c7dda0a-6d98-4e7e-8f0c-86d20a5a1cc8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/8906995/black-box-insurance-hidden-costs/#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  513.  
  514. &lt;p&gt;Liz added: “While black box insurance aims to reward safe driving rather than penalise minor lapses, consistent risky driving could have consequences on both your premium and coverage.&lt;/p&gt;
  515.  
  516.  
  517.  
  518. &lt;p&gt;“Worst-case scenario? If your driving is considered dangerous, your insurer could cancel your policy altogether. This could also make it difficult to gain coverage from another provider.”&lt;/p&gt;

  530. SOCIAL media executive Rachael Warren was stunned to receive a renewal quote 50 per cent more than the previous year’s price. &lt;/p&gt;
  531. &lt;div&gt;
  532. &lt;p&gt;She had paid £300 to insure her Kia Picanto with Hastings Direct in 2023. But last month she received her renewal quote and it was for £454.&lt;/p&gt;
  533. &lt;p&gt;Rachael 34, from Gloucester, said: “The new quote was ridiculous, considering I have eight years’ worth of no-claims.&lt;/p&gt;
  534. &lt;p&gt;“I headed straight to Compare The Market to get a better quote so I could use it as a bartering chip with Hastings.”&lt;/p&gt;
  535. &lt;p&gt;She discovered it would cost £350 to insure her car for another year with Tesco and she could get cashback on top through&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://go.skimresources.com/?id=34784X1028065&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ftopcashback.co.uk%2F&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesun.co.uk%2Fmoney%2F27414100%2Ftips-cut-car-insurance-bill-rising-prices%2F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;TopCashback.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  536. &lt;p&gt;She rang Hastings Direct and threatened to leave unless it could give her a cheaper premium than the one she found. Rachael said: “Hastings backed down and cut my renewal to £334 within minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  537. &lt;p&gt;“I would encourage everyone to haggle with their provider before making a switch.”&lt;/p&gt;
  538. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for HastingsDirect said: “We issue renewal quotes based on information we hold and would encourage customers to check their details and shop around.”&lt;/p&gt;
  539. &lt;/div&gt;

  555. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;UBER is offering its drivers thousands to buy an electric vehicle as the company aims to remove petrol cars from its fleet in London by 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  556.  
  557.  
  558.  
  559. &lt;p&gt;The ride-hailing service is making £5,000 grants available to its drivers in the capital who switch to an EV.&lt;/p&gt;
  560.  
  561.  
  562.  
  563. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033800&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/2024/05/2019-brazil-joins-global-protest-529278895.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033800&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;663&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Uber is now offering grants of £5,000 for its drivers in London to switch to an EV (stock image)[/caption]
  564.  
  565.  
  566.  
  567. &lt;p&gt;The US company announced the measure to help it meet its previous commitment that all &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uber/&quot;&gt;Uber&lt;/a&gt; vehicles in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; will be fully electric by the end of 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  568.  
  569.  
  570.  
  571. &lt;p&gt;Drivers can spend their grant cash as a lump sum on an EV purchase, or on weekly payments for rental or rent-to-buy agreements.&lt;/p&gt;
  572.  
  573.  
  574.  
  575. &lt;p&gt;Uber has also secured discounts of £12,000 to £17,000 on selected EVs for its drivers.&lt;/p&gt;
  576.  
  577.  
  578.  
  579. &lt;p&gt;Around a quarter of miles for Uber journeys in London are in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/electric-cars/&quot;&gt;electric cars&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  580.  
  581.  
  582.  
  583. &lt;p&gt;There are more than 100,000 Uber vehicles in the UK, with around half in London.&lt;/p&gt;
  584.  
  585.  
  586.  
  587. &lt;p&gt;Uber&amp;#8217;s UK general manager, Andrew Brem, said: &amp;#8220;Now is the time to speed up on electrification, not slow down.&lt;/p&gt;
  588.  
  589.  
  590.  
  591. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We cannot reach our collective zero-emission goals without continued action from policymakers and investment across the industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  592.  
  593.  
  594.  
  595. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Uber drivers can be the catalyst for accelerating electrification across the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/transport/&quot;&gt;transport&lt;/a&gt; sector but collaboration will be crucial to combat air &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pollution/&quot;&gt;pollution&lt;/a&gt; and work towards a more sustainable future.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  596.  
  597.  
  598.  
  599. &lt;p&gt;London Mayor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sadiq-khan/&quot;&gt;Sadiq Khan&lt;/a&gt; said: &amp;#8220;I am determined to achieve my mission to make London a net-zero city by 2030, and the electrification of our buses and cars is absolutely key to this.&lt;/p&gt;
  600.  
  601.  
  602.  
  603. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I welcome this initiative, which will give drivers who need it a helping hand to switch their petrol or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/diesel/&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt; vehicle for an electric one.&lt;/p&gt;

  626. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Schemes like this are helping us to build a fairer, greener London for everyone.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  627.  
  628.  
  629.  
  630. &lt;p&gt;The announcement comes after Uber has started testing a new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/24735550/uber-tasks-major-change-copy-taskrabbit/&quot;&gt;Uber Tasks service&lt;/a&gt; in two cities.&lt;/p&gt;

  635.

  639.  
  640.  
  641.  
  642. &lt;p&gt;People have been quick to notice the similarity to TaskRabbit, a freelance labour&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/app/&quot;&gt;app&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that matches handymen with everyday tasks.&lt;/p&gt;

  654. THE ride-hailing app was founded by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in the United States and is now widely used around the world. &lt;/p&gt;
  655. &lt;div&gt;
  656. &lt;p&gt;Travis Kalanick is an American businessman, co-founder and former CEO of Uber &amp;#8211; a position he held from 2010 to 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  657. &lt;p&gt;Uber co-founder Garrett Camp is a Canadian billionaire entrepreneur.&lt;/p&gt;
  658. &lt;p&gt;The pair launched the company as UberCabs &amp;#8211; now just known as Uber &amp;#8211; in March 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
  659. &lt;p&gt;Uber went live for the first time in San Francisco in 2010 before gradually expanding to other US cities including New York City and Chicago.\&lt;/p&gt;
  660. &lt;p&gt;In 2011, Uber began expanding outside the US when it was launched in Paris, France.&lt;/p&gt;
  661. &lt;p&gt;It launched in London in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
  662. &lt;p&gt;Kalanick is now CEO of City Storage Systems, a company focused on redeveloping distressed real estate assets such as parking lots or abandoned strip malls.&lt;/p&gt;
  663. &lt;p&gt;Garrett Camp now serves as chairman of both Uber and StumbleUpon &amp;#8211; both companies he co-founded.&lt;/p&gt;
  664. &lt;/div&gt;
  665. &lt;/div&gt;
  666. &lt;/div&gt;
  667.  
  668.  
  669.  
  670. &lt;p&gt;The move comes as Uber attempts to diversify beyond its original car-hailing roots.&lt;/p&gt;
  671.  
  672.  
  673.  
  674. &lt;p&gt;In the UK, the company recently added the ability to book trains and flights.&lt;/p&gt;
  675.  
  676.  
  677.  
  678. &lt;p&gt;The Uber Tasks trial will take place in Fort Myers, Florida and Edmonton, Alberta.&lt;/p&gt;
  679.  
  680.  
  681.  
  682. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1322323/argentina/&quot;&gt;Argentina&lt;/a&gt; star Jose Luiz Gomez is now without a club and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24832364/lionel-messi-uber-argentina-brazil/&quot;&gt;drives for Uber to earn a living&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  683.  
  684.  
  685.  
  686. &lt;p&gt;But just a few years ago the right-back was playing for Argentina against&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1775471/brazil/&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  687.  
  688.  
  689.  
  690. &lt;p&gt;Before making it as a full-time professional footballer, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; winger &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24215603/arsenal-star-uber-driver-world-cup-caitlin-foord/&quot;&gt;Caitlin Foord worked part-time as an Uber driver&lt;/a&gt; in Wollongong, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  694. &lt;p&gt;A woman has been dubbed &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22189530/worlds-hottest-uber-driver-playboy-bunny/&quot;&gt;the world&amp;#8217;s hottest Uber driver&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; after she gave up being a Playboy bunny and chose to be behind the wheel.&lt;/p&gt;
  695.  
  696.  
  697.  
  698. &lt;p&gt;After splitting with her husband, mum-of-six Nannette Hammond, decided to become an&amp;nbsp;Uber&amp;nbsp;driver and says her customers are always stunned when she picks them up.&lt;/p&gt;

  715. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A CHILD of polyamorous parents has opened up about their experience growing up.&lt;/p&gt;
  716.  
  717.  
  718.  
  719. &lt;p&gt;Their relationship with their mom isn&amp;#8217;t the best because she&amp;#8217;s not understanding about their monogamy.&lt;/p&gt;
  720.  
  721.  
  722.  
  723. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033973&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.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/little-kid-boy-mother-father-893363515.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033973&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;645&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A Redditor opened up about their experience with polyamorous parents (stock photo)[/caption]
  724.  
  725.  
  726.  
  727. &lt;p&gt;Redditor &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Crazyginger1221 (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ivbcrl/comment/g5qxb7t/?utm_source=share&amp;amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;amp;utm_term=1&amp;amp;utm_content=share_button&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Crazyginger1221&lt;/a&gt; shared their family drama in a viral post.&lt;/p&gt;
  728.  
  729.  
  730.  
  731. &lt;p&gt;As a child, they explained that their parents&amp;#8217; dating style didn&amp;#8217;t pose a problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  732.  
  733.  
  734.  
  735. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It wasn&amp;#8217;t a huge deal when I was a kid. Essentially, it was just like hanging out with your parents and their friends,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  736.  
  737.  
  738.  
  739. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Some of my mom&amp;#8217;s SOs [significant others] had kids my age that I got along with really well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  740.  
  741.  
  742.  
  743. &lt;p&gt;As they grew older, however, judgment from their mom put pressure on their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  744.  
  745.  
  746.  
  747. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A little while ago, my mom was flirting with a guy and referred to me as her &amp;#8216;mono kid&amp;#8217; in the same tone I&amp;#8217;ve heard ultra-conservative folk refer to &amp;#8216;gay kids,&amp;#8217; so our relationship is a little strained these days,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  748.  
  749.  
  750.  
  751. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Her other daughter is 12, so I&amp;#8217;m really not certain why that comment was anywhere near necessary.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  752.  
  753.  
  754.  
  755. &lt;p&gt;While they understood their mom&amp;#8217;s dating preference, it was clear to them that their mom didn&amp;#8217;t feel the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
  756.  
  757.  
  758.  
  759. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The mono kid comment was mostly hurtful because the way she said it implied it was some sort of scandal or like it was a bad thing,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  760.

  763. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Obviously, this is one thing that&amp;#8217;s bad. She&amp;#8217;s not a horrible parent and person overall, but disapproving of some of my life choices just because they&amp;#8217;re different from hers is not a great parent move either.&lt;/p&gt;

  786. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, I was not born into a monogamous relationship, so the comment really came out of left field.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  791.  
  792.  
  793.  
  794. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I forgot to mention, while they have never had any authority over me, she refers to her SOs as my &amp;#8216;rampparents&amp;#8217; because they&amp;#8217;re not quite stepparents, which is kind of funny,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  795.  
  796.  
  797.  
  798. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ramp-parents is a play on words because they&amp;#8217;re not married, so they are not my step-parent, so the ramp is instead of step as in stairs,&amp;#8221; they explained. &lt;/p&gt;

  817.  
  818. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ram-parent had never even crossed my mind, but I can never un-think of it, so thanks for that,&amp;#8221; they joked.&lt;/p&gt;
  819.  
  820.  
  821.  
  822. &lt;p&gt;Polyamorous Redditors agreed that their mom&amp;#8217;s comment was uncalled for, but that her name for her significant others was entertaining.&lt;/p&gt;
  823.  
  824.  
  825.  
  826. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m poly with a child as well, and I&amp;#8217;m absolutely going to see if partners are okay with being called &amp;#8216;ramp parents,'&amp;#8221; said one.&lt;/p&gt;
  827.  
  828.  
  829.  
  830. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Sorry to hear your Mom is seemingly disappointed in you for your monogamy. &lt;/p&gt;
  831.  
  832.  
  833.  
  834. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That seems so** backward for someone in such an accepting community as Poly.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  835.  
  836.  
  837.  
  838. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What about your slight incline parents? The rampparents thing is very funny,&amp;#8221; said another.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  856. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MARTIN Lewis has revealed how savvy holidaymakers can snap up easyJet&amp;#8217;s cheapest possible flight rates.&lt;/p&gt;
  857.  
  858.  
  859.  
  860. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money-saving-expert/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Money Saving Expert&lt;/a&gt; has urged sun-seekers to head online early today to snap up the best deals.&lt;/p&gt;
  861.  
  862.

  864. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_26367664&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/passengers-board-easyjet-airplane-londons-879096937_aae042.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-26367664&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;641&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Passengers board an easyJet plane at London’s Gatwick airport[/caption]
  865.  
  866.  
  867.  
  868. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033941&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/2024/05/d739e40f-2dd9-4f5f-86fb-ada2101aab8f.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033941&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;776&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Martin Lewis on the TV show Good Morning Britain&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  869.  
  870.  
  871.  
  872. &lt;p&gt;He told his followers on X that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/easyjet/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;easyJet&lt;/a&gt; is set to launch its March to June 2025 flights today (Tuesday) from around 6am.&lt;/p&gt;
  873.  
  874.  
  875.  
  876. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/martin-lewis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Martin&lt;/a&gt; said: &amp;#8220;Bagging them the moment they launch (browser refreshing type thing) is often (no guarantee) the way to get them at the cheapest possible rate. &lt;/p&gt;
  877.  
  878.  
  879.  
  880. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Flights can rise by £100s even after a couple of hours of launch morning. &lt;/p&gt;
  881.  
  882.  
  883.  
  884. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So if you&amp;#8217;re going to book, try early. &lt;/p&gt;
  885.  
  886.  
  887.  
  888. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;PS Cheapest possible, doesn&amp;#8217;t necessarily mean cheap, do check what a decent rate is before booking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  889.  
  890.  
  891.  
  892. &lt;p&gt;In the replies, Martin acknowledged prices can go up and down due to demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  893.  
  894.  
  895.  
  896. &lt;p&gt;But he added: &amp;#8220;Often lowest demand is at launch &amp;#8211; based on our research &amp;#8211; chance it dropping later is tough to predict. &lt;/p&gt;
  897.  
  898.  
  899.  
  900. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Locking in at launch is more certain.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  924.  
  925.  
  926.  
  927. &lt;p&gt;Tips include using a loophole to boost your hand luggage allowance by using a carrier bag.&lt;/p&gt;
  928.  
  929.  
  930.  
  931. &lt;p&gt;The airline allows flyers to take one shopping bag on board, as well as a piece of hand luggage.&lt;/p&gt;
  932.  
  933.  
  934.  
  935. &lt;p&gt;MSE also recommends taking squishable hand luggage as they are more likely to fit into overhead lockers as they start to fill up.&lt;/p&gt;
  936.  
  937.  
  938.  
  939. &lt;p&gt;Martin&amp;#8217;s team also urge holidaymakers to check in early to get a better seat at no extra cost.&lt;/p&gt;
  940.  
  941.  
  942.  
  943. &lt;p&gt;The site reads: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;ll have to pay if you want a specific seat, but the earlier you check in, the more likely it is that you get allocated a better seat.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  944.  
  945.  
  946.  
  947. &lt;p&gt;In another clever tip, the team suggested flyers can wear some of their luggage if it doesn&amp;#8217;t fit in their bag.&lt;/p&gt;
  948.  
  949.  
  950.  
  951. &lt;p&gt;And Martin&amp;#8217;s MSE also warned travellers not to assume easyJet is always the cheapest and instead always compare airlines.&lt;/p&gt;

  963. &lt;p&gt;See a full list of ways to manipulate the budget airline:&lt;/p&gt;
  964. &lt;ol&gt;
  965. &lt;li&gt;You can pay to bring a second larger bag on board from £5.99&lt;/li&gt;
  966. &lt;li&gt;Increase your hand luggage allowance with a shopping bag&lt;/li&gt;
  967. &lt;li&gt;Pay for a first-row seat and get extra legroom and an additional bag for the price of one&lt;/li&gt;
  968. &lt;li&gt;Pack your on-flight belongings in a squishable holdall&lt;/li&gt;
  969. &lt;li&gt;Book tickets when they&amp;#8217;re released&lt;/li&gt;
  970. &lt;li&gt;Become an EasyJet Plus or Flight Club member to take advantage of free refund trick&lt;/li&gt;
  971. &lt;li&gt;Check in 30 days in advance for a better seat at no extra cost&lt;/li&gt;
  972. &lt;li&gt;Board earlier to ensure you snag space in locker above you&lt;/li&gt;
  973. &lt;li&gt;Pay the right way, using a credit card, for protection&lt;/li&gt;
  974. &lt;li&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t rely on using EasyJet to book extras &amp;#8211; including car hire, hotels, and travel insurance&lt;/li&gt;
  975. &lt;li&gt;Be smart when packing &amp;#8211; you might be able to fit more than you think in your bags&lt;/li&gt;
  976. &lt;li&gt;Pay in advance for checked baggage&lt;/li&gt;
  977. &lt;li&gt;Wear your luggage if necessary&lt;/li&gt;
  978. &lt;li&gt;Pack food, rather than pay sky-high prices for sky-high food&lt;/li&gt;
  979. &lt;li&gt;Always compare EasyJet prices with that of other airlines&lt;/li&gt;
  980. &lt;li&gt;Check to see if you might be owed compensation for delayed flights&lt;/li&gt;
  981. &lt;/ol&gt;
  982. &lt;/div&gt;

  1000. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MICHAEL Gove will today condemn the rise in anti-Semitism incidents as he slams the organisers of pro-Palestine marches.&lt;/p&gt;
  1001.  
  1002.  
  1003.  
  1004. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/michael-gove/&quot;&gt;The Cabinet Minister&lt;/a&gt; delivers a major speech today to blast those leading demonstrations to be more “vigilant” of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25947386/anti-semitic-hate-incidents-record-high/&quot;&gt;anti-Jewish hate&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1005.  
  1006.  
  1007.  
  1008. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033819&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/2024/05/2022-communities-secretary-placed-investigation-889706045.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033819&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;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Michael Gove will today condemn the rise in anti-Semitism incidents as he slams the organisers of pro-Palestine marches[/caption]
  1009.  
  1010.  
  1011.  
  1012. &lt;p&gt;His intervention came after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25914127/women-guilty-terrorism-paragliders-hamas/&quot;&gt;three women were found guilty of terror offences&lt;/a&gt; after displaying images of paragliders &amp;#8211; used by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/israel-hamas-war/&quot;&gt;Hamas&lt;/a&gt; to enter Israel during the October 7 atrocities.&lt;/p&gt;
  1013.  
  1014.  
  1015.  
  1016. &lt;p&gt;Mr Gove will say: “Many of those on these marches are thoughtful, gentle, compassionate people &amp;#8211; driven by a desire for peace and an end to suffering.&lt;/p&gt;
  1017.  
  1018.  
  1019.  
  1020. &lt;p&gt;“But they are side by side with those who are promoting hate. &lt;/p&gt;
  1021.  
  1022.  
  1023.  
  1024. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The organisers of these marches could do everything in their power to stop that. They don’t.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1025.  
  1026.  
  1027.  
  1028. &lt;p&gt;The Communities Secretary will also condemn the rise in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/26540629/john-mann-britain-hostile-environment-jews-antisemitism/&quot;&gt;anti-Semitism incidents &lt;/a&gt;saying it highlights that “all our freedoms are threatened”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1029.  
  1030.  
  1031.  
  1032. &lt;p&gt;He issues the chilling warning saying the safety of Jewish people in our communities is the “canary in the mine”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1033.  
  1034.  
  1035.  
  1036. &lt;p&gt;Mr Gove will deliver a major speech (Tues) ahead of the government’s Counter Extremism Action Plan due in the coming weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  1037.  
  1038.  
  1039.  
  1040. &lt;p&gt;His comments come after university chiefs were invited to Downing Street and told to be vigilant on antisemitism as Gaza protests spread across campuses.&lt;/p&gt;
  1041.  
  1042.  
  1043.  
  1044. &lt;p&gt;The Communities Secretary will say: “So when Jewish people are under threat, all our freedoms are threatened. &lt;/p&gt;
  1045.  
  1046.  
  1047.  
  1048. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The safety of the Jewish community is the canary in the mine.&lt;/p&gt;

  1112. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MANCHESTER City and United fans will be asked to take different roads to Wembley for the FA Cup Final this weekend amid fears of violence.&lt;/p&gt;
  1113.  
  1114.  
  1115.  
  1116. &lt;p&gt;Police hope that keeping &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;United&lt;/a&gt; supporters on the M6, M42 and M40 will prevent clashes with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22459085/man-utd-man-city-fa-cup-final/&quot;&gt;their rivals at service stations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  1125.  
  1126.  
  1127.  
  1128. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot;&gt;City&lt;/a&gt; fans have been asked to stick to the M1 but supporters don&amp;#8217;t have to follow the advice, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13439747/FA-Cup-final-Police-Manchester-City-United.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;MailOnline reports&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1129.  
  1130.  
  1131.  
  1132. &lt;p&gt;Both sides are taking 36,000 fans each and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/23952896/greater-manchester-police-hacked-details-officers-stolen/&quot;&gt;Greater Manchester Police&lt;/a&gt; hope the plans will avoid a repeat of last year&amp;#8217;s FA Cup violence.&lt;/p&gt;
  1133.  
  1134.  
  1135.  
  1136. &lt;p&gt;Newport Pagnell Services on the M1 at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/milton-keynes/&quot;&gt;Milton Keynes&lt;/a&gt; and Oxford Services on the M40 saw mass brawls when fans came head-to-head after City beat United 2-1.&lt;/p&gt;
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139.  
  1140. &lt;p&gt;The latter saw fights erupt in the coach park area and prompted a police investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143.  
  1144. &lt;p&gt;Last year&amp;#8217;s problems were aggravated by train strikes and saw &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22565939/train-strikes-fa-cup-epsom-derby-beyonce-latest/&quot;&gt;160 official coaches laid on&lt;/a&gt; for both sets of fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  1145.  
  1146.  
  1147.  
  1148. &lt;p&gt;United have just 12 coaches travelling down from Manchester this weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  1149.  
  1150.  
  1151.  
  1152. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28021091/fa-cup-final-wags-manchester-united-city/&quot;&gt;Saturday&amp;#8217;s FA Cup Final&lt;/a&gt; could see more than 1,000 officers from The Met, GMP and British Transport Police on duty around Wembley.&lt;/p&gt;
  1153.  
  1154.  
  1155.  
  1156. &lt;p&gt;Kick-off has been brought forward from 5.30pm to 3pm &amp;#8211; a repeat of last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1157.  
  1158.  
  1159.  
  1160. &lt;p&gt;The FA said the time change followed an agreement with “the clubs, local authority, members of the safety advisory group and broadcasters&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1161.  
  1162.  
  1163.  
  1164. &lt;p&gt;Man City are favourites to win.&lt;/p&gt;

  1277. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LIAM MILLAR is being eyed up by Premier League relegated duo Burnley and Sheffield United.&lt;/p&gt;
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281. &lt;p&gt;And the Basel midfielder, 24 has also attracted interest from several Championship clubs.&lt;/p&gt;
  1282.  
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_22089471&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/nices-algerian-forward-billal-brahimi-809732681.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-22089471&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;658&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Liam Millar has Europa Conference League experience with Basel[/caption]
  1286.  
  1287.  
  1288.  
  1289. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_10894324&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/2020/02/NINTCHDBPICT000560141005-e1580858470740.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-10894324&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;657&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Millar learnt his trade alongside Wales full-back Neco Williams at Anfield&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  1290.  
  1291.  
  1292.  
  1293. &lt;p&gt;That includes Preston, where he spent last season on loan and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196668/sunderland/&quot;&gt;Sunderland&lt;/a&gt; as well as a number of European sides.&lt;/p&gt;
  1294.  
  1295.  
  1296.  
  1297. &lt;p&gt;Millar has one year left on his contract with the Swiss Super League side and that has alerted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28030348/vincent-kompany-champions-league-burnley-bayern-munich-brighton/&quot;&gt;Vincent Kompany&amp;#8217;s side&lt;/a&gt; as well as the Blades.&lt;/p&gt;
  1298.  
  1299.  
  1300.  
  1301. &lt;p&gt;But the ex-Liverpool star scored five goals for Ryan Lowe&amp;#8217;s Lilywhites in 35 second-tier matches.&lt;/p&gt;
  1302.  
  1303.  
  1304.  
  1305. &lt;p&gt;The Canadian international was involved in 13 goal contributions across the campaign &amp;#8211; three for Basel and ten for Preston.&lt;/p&gt;
  1306.  
  1307.  
  1308.  
  1309. &lt;p&gt;And that was with Millar playing out of position as a wing-back.&lt;/p&gt;
  1310.  
  1311.  
  1312.  
  1313. &lt;p&gt;Millar joined Liverpool&amp;#8217;s academy at the age of 16 and made one first-team appearance in an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10893761/liverpool-1-shrewsbury-0-fa-cup-chelsea-man-utd-williams-own-goal/&quot;&gt;FA Cup tie against Shrewsbury in 2020&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1314.  
  1315.  
  1316.  
  1317. &lt;p&gt;He had spells at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3988827/liam-millar-steven-gerrard-kilmarnock-rangers-liverpool-drop-valuable-lesson/&quot;&gt;Scottish club Kilmarnock&lt;/a&gt; and Charlton on loan before leaving Anfield for Basel in a £1.3m deal in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  1318.  
  1319.  
  1320.  
  1321. &lt;p&gt;Last September, Millar joined Preston on a season-long loan.&lt;/p&gt;
  1322.  
  1323.  
  1324.  
  1325. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/21097803/casino-welcome-bonus/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1326.  
  1327.  
  1328.  
  1329. &lt;p&gt;And he impressed under &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/11322207/ryan-lowe-rangers-preston-michael-beale/&quot;&gt;Preston boss Lowe&lt;/a&gt;, who wants to keep him on a permanent transfer.&lt;/p&gt;
  1330.  
  1331.  
  1332.  
  1333. &lt;p&gt;But Lowe knows there will be major interest from the trio of clubs coming down from the Premier League.&lt;/p&gt;

  1389. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;SHOPPERS have been left devastated after a family-run homestore has announced it will be pulling down its shutters after 36 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  1390.  
  1391.  
  1392.  
  1393. &lt;p&gt;Loyal customers have moaned &amp;#8220;more bleak &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; after their beloved home store decided to close down its location.&lt;/p&gt;
  1394.  
  1395.  
  1396.  
  1397. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033318&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/2024/05/shutters-more-bleak-news-moan-903294886.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033318&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;Facebook - Dixons Homestore&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Dixons in Workington is closing down after 36 years[/caption]
  1398.  
  1399.  
  1400.  
  1401. &lt;p&gt;Residents of Workington will have to take their business elsewhere after the long-running Dixon store will shut down for good.&lt;/p&gt;
  1402.  
  1403.  
  1404.  
  1405. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homeware/&quot;&gt;homeware&lt;/a&gt; and furniture shop has served customers at Dunmail Park shopping centre since it first opened its doors 36 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  1406.  
  1407.  
  1408.  
  1409. &lt;p&gt;The staff have been informed about the store closure last week with consultations taking place to minimise job losses.&lt;/p&gt;
  1410.  
  1411.  
  1412.  
  1413. &lt;p&gt;Dixon also runs a department store in Whitehaven which will continue operating as usual.&lt;/p&gt;
  1414.  
  1415.  
  1416.  
  1417. &lt;p&gt;Director&amp;nbsp;Marie Dixon&amp;nbsp;said: &amp;#8220;Following a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/review/&quot;&gt;review&lt;/a&gt; of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.whitehavennews.co.uk/news/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and its &lt;span id=&quot;d8f83131-c276-40c7-a99e-82d0a633843e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; strategic direction, we have reluctantly decided to close the Home Store at Dunmail Park after 36 years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1418.  
  1419.  
  1420.  
  1421. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We will now focus all of our attention on our famous department store in Whitehaven, where there is a large furniture department, and will continue to serve the people of the area for many years to come.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1422.  
  1423.  
  1424.  
  1425. &lt;p&gt;In the light of the closure, Dixons will kick off a major sale with discounts up to 70 per cent on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
  1426.  
  1427.  
  1428.  
  1429. &lt;p&gt;Prices are expected to be slashed on all products including quality furniture, mattresses, and decor accessories.&lt;/p&gt;
  1430.  
  1431.  
  1432.  
  1433. &lt;p&gt;The shop posted on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, saying: &amp;#8220;ALL STOCK at our Workington showroom will be priced to clear and EVERYTHING MUST GO as we close the store forever! Don&amp;#8217;t miss it!!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1434.  
  1435.  
  1436.  
  1437. &lt;p&gt;But despite the tempting bargain deals, fans have flocked to the comments to express how sad they were to see the store go.&lt;/p&gt;

  1481. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  1482. RETAILERS have been feeling the squeeze since the pandemic, while shoppers are cutting back on spending due to the soaring cost of living crisis. &lt;/p&gt;
  1483. &lt;div&gt;
  1484. &lt;p&gt;High &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy/&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt; costs and a move to shopping online after the pandemic are also taking a toll, and many high street shops have struggled to keep going.&lt;/p&gt;
  1485. &lt;p&gt;The high street has seen a whole raft of closures over the past year, and more are coming.&lt;/p&gt;
  1486. &lt;p&gt;The number of jobs lost in British&amp;nbsp;retail&amp;nbsp;dropped last year, but 120,000 people still lost their employment, figures have suggested.&lt;/p&gt;
  1487. &lt;p&gt;Figures from the Centre for&amp;nbsp;Retail&amp;nbsp;Research revealed that 10,494 shops closed for the last time during 2023, and 119,405 jobs were lost in the sector.&lt;/p&gt;
  1488. &lt;p&gt;It was fewer shops than had been lost for several years, and a reduction from 151,641 jobs lost in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  1489. &lt;p&gt;The centre&amp;#8217;s director, Professor Joshua Bamfield, said the improvement is &amp;#8220;less bad&amp;#8221; than good.&lt;/p&gt;
  1490. &lt;p&gt;Although there were some big-name losses from the high street, including Wilko, many large companies had already gone bust before 2022, the centre said, such as Topshop owner Arcadia, Jessops and Debenhams.&lt;/p&gt;
  1491. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The cost-of-living crisis, inflation and increases in interest rates have led many consumers to tighten their belts, reducing&amp;nbsp;retail&amp;nbsp;spend,&amp;#8221; Prof Bamfield said.&lt;/p&gt;
  1492. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Retailers themselves have suffered increasing energy and occupancy costs, staff shortages and falling demand that have made rebuilding profits after extensive store&amp;nbsp;closures&amp;nbsp;during the pandemic exceptionally difficult.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1493. &lt;p&gt;Alongside Wilko, which employed around 12,000 people when it collapsed, 2023&amp;#8217;s biggest failures included Paperchase, Cath Kidston, Planet Organic and Tile Giant.&lt;/p&gt;
  1494. &lt;p&gt;The Centre for&amp;nbsp;Retail&amp;nbsp;Research said most stores were closed because companies were trying to reorganise and cut costs rather than the business failing.&lt;/p&gt;
  1495. &lt;p&gt;However, experts have warned there will likely be more failures this year as consumers keep their belts tight and borrowing costs soar for businesses.&lt;/p&gt;
  1496. &lt;p&gt;The Body Shop and Ted Baker are the biggest names to have already collapsed into administration this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1497. &lt;/div&gt;
  1498. &lt;/div&gt;
  1499. &lt;/div&gt;
  1500.  
  1501.  
  1502.  
  1503. &lt;p&gt;Workington and the general area of Cumbria have seen several high street shops close over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
  1504.  
  1505.  
  1506.  
  1507. &lt;p&gt;Last year, Wilko &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23536688/wilko-stores-high-street-administration-rescue-fail-deal-saved/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;closed its doors for the final time&lt;/a&gt; in Workington after the retailer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23894068/wilko-rescue-hopes-fade-closure-fails/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tumbled into administration.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1508.  
  1509.  
  1510.  
  1511. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wilko/&quot;&gt;Wilko&lt;/a&gt; collapsed after being hit hard by inflationary pressures, competition from rivals and supply chain challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
  1512.  
  1513.  
  1514.  
  1515. &lt;p&gt;Last September, the retailer announced all 400 shops would close that same month.&lt;/p&gt;
  1516.  
  1517.  
  1518.  
  1519. &lt;p&gt;Several rivals swooped in to buy out some of Wilko&amp;#8217;s store portfolio though, including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/topic/poundland/&quot;&gt;Poundland&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;which purchased 71 stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  1520.  
  1521.  
  1522.  
  1523. &lt;p&gt;Clintons&amp;nbsp;is also among retailers to have been affected by depressed high street footfall and competition from online rivals.&lt;/p&gt;
  1524.  
  1525.  
  1526.  
  1527. &lt;p&gt;Its store in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24573810/is-clintons-cards-closing-list-of-stores-affected/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Whitehaven, Cumbria, was closed last March&lt;/a&gt; with the firm going into administration earlier that same year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1528.  
  1529.  
  1530.  
  1531. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Which other stores have we lost recently?&lt;/h2&gt;
  1532.  
  1533.  
  1534.  
  1535. &lt;p&gt;We have seen several big losses in the last 12 months including popular discounter&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23418841/wilko-plunges-into-administration/#:~:text=Wilko%20plunges%20into%20administration%20putting,a%20rescue%20buyer%20%7C%20The%20Sun&quot;&gt;Wilko&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and stationary brand&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24414105/paperchase-coming-back-after-closing-shops/&quot;&gt;Paperchase.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1536.  
  1537.  
  1538.  
  1539. &lt;p&gt;More recently,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and beauty chain&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25876063/the-body-shop-plunges-administration-jobs-stores-risk-closing/&quot;&gt;The Body Shop fell into administration&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and announced the closure of many of its 200 stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  1540.  
  1541.  
  1542.  
  1543. &lt;p&gt;Almost 500 staff are set to lose their&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after 75 stores were earmarked for closure.&lt;/p&gt;
  1544.  
  1545.  
  1546.  
  1547. &lt;p&gt;Plus,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26868750/ted-baker-falls-into-administration-stores-jobs-at-risk/&quot;&gt;Ted Baker fell into administration&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in March 2024 too, with 15 stores&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27186292/ted-baker-closing-stores-days-london-liverpool-cambridge/&quot;&gt;having shut&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;by April 19.&lt;/p&gt;
  1548.  
  1549.  
  1550.  
  1551. &lt;p&gt;Other retailers such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/iceland/&quot;&gt;Iceland&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/boots/&quot;&gt;Boots&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/matalan/&quot;&gt;Matalan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;have been slimming down the number of stores they have on the high street.&lt;/p&gt;
  1552.  
  1553.  
  1554.  
  1555. &lt;p&gt;Just this spring&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26776756/last-day-boots-branches-closing/&quot;&gt;Boots is closing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;a total of nine sites, as part of its wider plans to get rid of 300 locations.&lt;/p&gt;
  1556.  
  1557.  
  1558.  
  1559. &lt;p&gt;These closures will see the retailer&amp;#8217;s total shops reduced from 2,200 to 1,900.&lt;/p&gt;
  1560.  
  1561.  
  1562.  
  1563. &lt;p&gt;This has upset a lot of locals in the affected towns, however, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/boots/&quot;&gt;health and beauty chain&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has said where stores are closing there is an alternative shop less than three miles away.&lt;/p&gt;
  1564.  
  1565.  
  1566.  
  1567. &lt;p&gt;Last year&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26578116/argos-store-shuts-romford-gallows-corner/&quot;&gt;Argos started to put in place its plans to reduce the number of standalone stores&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and focus on opening more locations inside&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sainsburys/&quot;&gt;Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;supermarkets.&lt;/p&gt;
  1568.  
  1569.  
  1570.  
  1571. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/22951816/argos-uk-store-closures-which-branches/&quot;&gt;closed 42 UK shops&lt;/a&gt;, including all 34 of its branches in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/21097203/argos-close-stores-ireland-high-streets-struggle/#:~:text=ARGOS%20has%20announced%20it%20will,34%20stores%20across%20the%20country.&amp;amp;text=The%20high%20street%20chain%20will%20withdraw%20from%20Ireland%20completely%20on%20June%2024.&quot;&gt;Republic of Ireland&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;last June.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  1606. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mel-stride/&quot;&gt;Mel Stride&lt;/a&gt; will today acknowledge the changes could pose a “recruitment challenge” for some sectors, with 300,000 fewer foreign workers arriving each year. &lt;/p&gt;

  1614. &lt;p&gt;He is expected to say in a speech: “With the &lt;span id=&quot;fb54cfce-21f7-4ef3-a75a-fdbb1dbc3f9b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; generation of welfare reforms, we are building a new economic model based on British talent.&lt;/p&gt;
  1615.  
  1616.  
  1617.  
  1618. &lt;p&gt;“As part of that, the new visa rules brought in by the Home Secretary will mean around 300,000 people who arrived last year would not be able to. &lt;/p&gt;
  1619.  
  1620.  
  1621.  
  1622. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is a huge opportunity for the thousands of jobseekers within our domestic workforce to move into roles that have previously been filled by overseas workers.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1623.  
  1624.  
  1625.  
  1626. &lt;p&gt; Mr Stride will unveil a new ministerial taskforce — including key figures from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/home-office/&quot;&gt;Home Office&lt;/a&gt;, Treasury, and other departments — to identify and end barriers preventing Brits entering the workforce.&lt;/p&gt;

  1664. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;IT is the year of friendly rivalry at the 2024 National Television Awards – as closely linked stars vie with each other for a gong.&lt;/p&gt;
  1665.  
  1666.  
  1667.  
  1668. &lt;p&gt;The longlist of potential winners is out today, with 15 categories reflecting TV’s biggest trends and moments of the past year.&lt;/p&gt;

  1681.  
  1682.  
  1683.  
  1684. &lt;p&gt;They are effectively competing for the same role in the same episode, with one doctor regenerating into the other on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; One in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  1685.  
  1686.  
  1687.  
  1688. &lt;p&gt;The show, which celebrated its 60th anniversary last year, could also triumph in the Returning Drama category.&lt;/p&gt;
  1689.  
  1690.  
  1691.  
  1692. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, it is a family affair for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dancing-on-ice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dancing On Ice&lt;/a&gt; judge &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oti-mabuse/&quot;&gt;Oti Mabuse&lt;/a&gt;, who is on the list for the returning “Expert” category, along with big sister Motsi from BBC One’s Strictly.&lt;/p&gt;
  1693.  
  1694.  
  1695.  
  1696. &lt;p&gt;The other three Strictly judges — &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/anton-du-beke/&quot;&gt;Anton Du Beke&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/shirley-ballas/&quot;&gt;Shirley Ballas&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/craig-revel-horwood/&quot;&gt;Craig Revel Horwood&lt;/a&gt; — will be competing with Motsi in the same category. &lt;/p&gt;
  1697.  
  1698.  
  1699.  
  1700. &lt;p&gt;Other relatives who will be vying for an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-television-awards/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;NTA &lt;/a&gt;include &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bradley-walsh/&quot;&gt;Bradley Walsh&lt;/a&gt;, up for Best TV Presenter, while son &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/8095843/bradley-walsh-son-barney/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Barney &lt;/a&gt;is in with a chance of winning Best Serial Drama Performance for his role in BBC One’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-casualty/&quot;&gt;Casualty&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1701.  
  1702.  
  1703.  
  1704. &lt;p&gt;Coleen and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wayne-rooney/&quot;&gt;Wayne Rooney&lt;/a&gt; are both in the running in the Authored &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/documentary/&quot;&gt;Documentary&lt;/a&gt; category. &lt;/p&gt;

  1709.  
  1710.  
  1711.  
  1712. &lt;p&gt;There will be more divided loyalties for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/claudia-winkleman/&quot;&gt;Claudia Winkleman&lt;/a&gt;, who is also on the list for TV Presenter. Two of her series, Strictly and The Piano, are up for Talent Show. &lt;/p&gt;
  1713.  
  1714.  
  1715.  
  1716. &lt;p&gt;Luckily, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-traitors/&quot;&gt;The Traitors&lt;/a&gt;, which she also fronts, is in the Reality Competition category.&lt;/p&gt;

  1899. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE best and worst large cities for a holiday in the UK have been revealed, with a &amp;#8220;lively&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;buzzing&amp;#8221; destination coming out on top.  &lt;/p&gt;
  1900.  
  1901.  
  1902.  
  1903. &lt;p&gt;Consumer watchdog Which? surveyed the experiences of 4,000 members to find the best large city for a UK holiday. &lt;/p&gt;
  1904.  
  1905.

  1912.  
  1913.  
  1914.  
  1915. &lt;p&gt;The consumer experts analysed 4,000 members about their experiences of visiting UK towns and cities in the last two years. &lt;/p&gt;
  1916.  
  1917.  
  1918.  
  1919. &lt;p&gt;Each of the destinations were ranked based on factors like accommodation, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;food and drink&lt;/a&gt;, cultural sights and tourist attractions, ease of getting around, lack of crowds, and value for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;, with each given an overall score out of 100 per cent. &lt;/p&gt;

  1924.  
  1925.  
  1926.  
  1927. &lt;p&gt;The northern city was given a full five stars in the cultural sights and tourist attractions category, thanks to its impressive range of cultural and historical attractions that stretch far beyond &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-beatles/&quot;&gt;the Beatles&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  1928.  
  1929.  
  1930.  
  1931. &lt;p&gt;It also scored four out of five stars for factors like food and drink, shopping, accommodation, lack of crowds and value for money. &lt;/p&gt;
  1932.  
  1933.  
  1934.  
  1935. &lt;p&gt;Which? respondents described Liverpool as &amp;#8220;lively&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;buzzing&amp;#8221; in their answers. &lt;/p&gt;
  1936.  
  1937.  
  1938.  
  1939. &lt;p&gt;One person said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s got everything you could possibly want. Great for eating places, great for sights and famous places and very friendly people.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1940.  
  1941.  
  1942.  
  1943. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/edinburgh/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Edinburgh&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/york/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;York&lt;/a&gt; tied for second place, with both taking five stars for cultural sights and tourist attractions. &lt;/p&gt;
  1944.  
  1945.  
  1946.  
  1947. &lt;p&gt;While Edinburgh received four stars for food and drink, shopping, ease of getting around, and overall value for money, York was also awarded four stars in categories like shopping, accommodation, ease of getting around, value for money and food and drink. &lt;/p&gt;
  1948.  
  1949.  
  1950.  
  1951. &lt;p&gt;At the opposite end of the table, both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/swansea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Swansea&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/leicester/&quot;&gt;Leicester&lt;/a&gt; were  given an overall score of 58 per cent. &lt;/p&gt;

  1975.  
  1976.  
  1977.  
  1978. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/east-midlands/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;East Midlands city&lt;/a&gt; was awarded two stars for food and drink, accommodation, cultural sights and tourist attractions, shopping and ease of getting around.&lt;/p&gt;
  1979.  
  1980.  
  1981.  
  1982. &lt;p&gt;One survey respondent said: &amp;#8220;There are not a huge number of cultural sights within the city centre, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/museums-and-galleries/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Museum&lt;/a&gt; of Making is worth a visit.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1983.  
  1984.  
  1985.  
  1986. &lt;p&gt;Despite being the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/25105533/unusual-uk-city-best-nightlife-leicester/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;nightlife capital&amp;#8221; of the UK&lt;/a&gt;, Leicester also failed to impress and received just two stars for accommodation and ease of getting around. &lt;/p&gt;
  1987.  
  1988.  
  1989.  
  1990. &lt;p&gt;According to the study from Which?, there were several holidaymakers who faced difficulties using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/public-transport/&quot;&gt;public transport&lt;/a&gt; in Leicester.  &lt;/p&gt;
  1991.  
  1992.

  1994. &lt;p&gt;One person told Which?: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;Driving&lt;/a&gt; into Leicester is not straightforward for anyone new. It all seems overly complicated.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2009.  
  2010.  
  2011.  
  2012. &lt;p&gt;Swansea, which was also awarded an overall score of 58 per cent, received just two stars for food and drink, cultural sights and tourist attractions, shopping, ease of getting around and parking. &lt;/p&gt;
  2013.  
  2014.  
  2015.  
  2016. &lt;p&gt;The Welsh city was praised for its proximity to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/22948025/enchanting-beach-uk-rhossili-bay-wales-dolphins-staycation-gower/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gower Peninsula&lt;/a&gt;, with one visitor saying: &amp;#8220;Swansea is OK as a city, but the main draw is the coast and countryside on its doorstep.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2023.  
  2024. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Liverpool stood out among the UK’s large cities for its fantastic cultural scene and buzzing atmosphere, beating London and the UK’s other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/24255403/visited-uk-four-capitals-24-hours/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;capital cities&lt;/a&gt; to take first place.&lt;/p&gt;

  2039. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  2040. As a travel writer from Birmingham, I feel like it&amp;#039;s my duty to stand up for underrated towns and cities in the UK. &lt;/p&gt;
  2041. &lt;div&gt;
  2042. &lt;p&gt;These destinations are often full of wonderful surprises from award-winning museums to historic landmarks and quirky pubs, they tend to have it all.  &lt;/p&gt;
  2043. &lt;p&gt;I found this to be the case when I visited Hull earlier this year. The city is experiencing something of a renaissance and was even named one of Time Out&amp;#8217;s best places to visit in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  2044. &lt;p&gt;Recently, Hull has enjoyed a taste of showbiz with the Old Town being used a backdrop for blockbusters and hit Netflix TV shows like The Crown and Bodies. It&amp;#8217;s cobbled streets and narrow alleyways are the perfect dupe for Dickensian London, with filming locations getting their own stop on the It Must Be Hullywood walking trail. &lt;/p&gt;
  2045. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re short on time, make sure to head to Hull Minster where you can climb up 170 steps to reach the roof for sweeping views of the city. &lt;/p&gt;
  2046. &lt;p&gt;You can read all about my city break to Hull, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/27789553/uk-underrated-city-break-destination-hull-yorkshire/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  2047. &lt;/div&gt;
  2048. &lt;/div&gt;
  2049. &lt;/div&gt;
  2050.  
  2051.  
  2052.  
  2053. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/27789553/uk-underrated-city-break-destination-hull-yorkshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;often-ridiculed city in the north of England&lt;/a&gt; has the cheapest beers in the country and it&amp;#8217;s been named a top place to visit in 2024. &lt;/p&gt;
  2054.  
  2055.  
  2056.  
  2057. &lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s why the UK’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/24257050/cardiff-wales-best-uk-city/&quot;&gt;unlikely new &amp;#8216;best city&amp;#8217;&lt;/a&gt; is my favourite weekend break – it has the friendliest people in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

  2103.  
  2104.  
  2105.  
  2106. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;Hello everyone, some professional news from me. &lt;/p&gt;
  2107.  
  2108.  
  2109.  
  2110. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am leaving daytimes on @bbc5live to concentrate on the aspect of broadcasting I love most, which is in depth long form interviews, which I will continue to do on @bbc5live on Sunday evenings and the Headliners Podcast.&lt;/p&gt;
  2111.  
  2112.  
  2113.  
  2114. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I also need more time to finish my second book! And have more time to do the things that I never seem to have time to. &lt;/p&gt;
  2115.  
  2116.  
  2117.  
  2118. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you for being such an incredible audience for the last 8 years! My last daytime show will be 27th June. let&amp;#8217;s have a party.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2119.  
  2120.  
  2121.  
  2122. &lt;p&gt;His followers were quick to wish him well, with one writing: &amp;#8220;I’m both gutted and excited to hear this &amp;#8211; I absolutely love your show in the afternoon, but I also think you’re our country’s greatest interviewer and this is only going to make that so much better. Congratulations.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2184. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;DRIVERS have been urged to make seven key checks on their motor ahead of the bank holiday weekend so they avoid up to £7,600 in fines.&lt;/p&gt;
  2185.  
  2186.  
  2187.  
  2188. &lt;p&gt;Darren Miller, a car expert with &lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/BigWantsYourCar.com__;!!F0Stn7g!Cghr6WnxxNcmAtAGtADO3YHrm2ujgD8cka7OxL7VxDLiSg4jDMVDNfxkkBDExm3Tib4hIjPgxXJNesUv-6CMBau9Pt8i$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;BigWantsYourCar.com&lt;/a&gt;, part of the Big Motoring World Group, has revealed the top inspections motorists need to make to ensure a safe and lawful journey.&lt;/p&gt;
  2189.  
  2190.  
  2191.  
  2192. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033517&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/2024/05/young-beautiful-businesswoman-driving-car-903296058.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033517&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;Drivers need to make seven key checks on their vehicle before setting out on the bank holiday getaway (stock image)[/caption]
  2193.  
  2194.  
  2195.  
  2196. &lt;p&gt;It comes as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rac/&quot;&gt;RAC&lt;/a&gt; has warned the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/28023365/drivers-travel-may-bank-holiday-weekend-roads/&quot;&gt;late May bank holiday weekend is set to be the busiest on the roads&lt;/a&gt; since the Covid &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2197.  
  2198.  
  2199.  
  2200. &lt;p&gt;More than 20 million leisure journeys are expected to be made by car as traffic returns close to 2019’s pre-pandemic levels, according to a new study of drivers’ getaway plans from the RAC and INRIX.&lt;/p&gt;
  2201.  
  2202.  
  2203.  
  2204. &lt;p&gt;Analysis suggests the worst day to travel will be May 24 when more than 4 million journeys are planned, as this is not only the start of the long weekend but also the beginning of half term for many UK &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot;&gt;schools&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2205.  
  2206.  
  2207.  
  2208. &lt;p&gt;Traffic volumes look set to remain consistently high throughout the long weekend as 3.7 million trips are expected to take place on May 25, while 3.4 million journeys are anticipated on both Sunday and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bank-holidays/&quot;&gt;bank holiday&lt;/a&gt; Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  2209.  
  2210.  
  2211.  
  2212. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Darren’s top checks are:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2213.  
  2214.  
  2215.  
  2216. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tyres: £2,500&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2217.  
  2218.  
  2219.  
  2220. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Before setting off this busy weekend, check your tyres are in good condition for the road. Insufficient tread depth not only compromises your safety but could also cause you to face fines of up to £2,500 per tyre.&lt;/p&gt;
  2221.  
  2222.  
  2223.  
  2224. &lt;p&gt;“It&amp;#8217;s a small check that prevents significant penalties and safeguards your journey.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2225.  
  2226.  
  2227.  
  2228. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Windscreen Wipers: £2,500&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2229.  
  2230.  
  2231.  
  2232. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Never overlook the condition of your windscreen wipers. With the UK’s unpredictable &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather-2/&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt;, clear visibility is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
  2233.  
  2234.  
  2235.  
  2236. &lt;p&gt;“Operating a vehicle with blunt blades could lead to fines up to £2,500, alongside three penalty points.&lt;/p&gt;
  2237.  
  2238.  
  2239.  
  2240. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A simple blade check can keep you within the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; and ensure a safer drive.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2265.  
  2266.  
  2267. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Faulty lights reduce visibility and can result in a fine of up to £1,000 if escalated to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; or a £100 fixed penalty notice by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  2277.  
  2278.  
  2279. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A clean windscreen is necessary for visibility. Make sure your screenwash is filled to avoid dirt build-up, which could impact your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving/&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; view, leading to a £1,000 fine and three penalty points.&lt;/p&gt;
  2280.  
  2281.  
  2282.  
  2283. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a simple measure that maintains safety and compliance.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2284.  
  2285.  
  2286.  
  2287. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Car Insurance: £300&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2288.  
  2289.  
  2290.  
  2291. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Driving without up-to-date &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/insurance/&quot;&gt;insurance&lt;/a&gt; is a severe offence, particularly abroad. Check your coverage before your trip.&lt;/p&gt;
  2292.  
  2293.  
  2294.  
  2295. &lt;p&gt;“Lacking proper insurance could lead to a fixed penalty of £300 and six penalty points, but if taken to court, the consequences are far more severe. Always ensure you&amp;#8217;re adequately covered.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2296.  
  2297.  
  2298.  
  2299. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sat Nav and Phone Holder: £200&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2300.  
  2301.  
  2302.  
  2303. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In today’s digital age, using your phone safely while driving is crucial. Not having a proper phone holder or built-in sat nav system could cost you up to £200 and add six penalty points to your licence. It&amp;#8217;s a preventable issue that far too many overlook.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2304.  
  2305.  
  2306.  
  2307. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Number Plate: £100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2308.  
  2309.  
  2310.  
  2311. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Keep your number plate clean to avoid a £100 fine. It&amp;#8217;s more than just about keeping your vehicle tidy; it&amp;#8217;s about adhering to legal requirements for vehicle identification.&lt;/p&gt;
  2312.  
  2313.  
  2314.  
  2315. &lt;p&gt;“A quick wipe can save you from unnecessary penalties.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2316.  
  2317.

  2319. &lt;p&gt;This comes as a major theme park owner warns that a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/28019101/popular-seaside-town-to-become-most-expensive/&quot;&gt;popular seaside town could become the &amp;#8220;most expensive car park&amp;#8221; in the UK&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after a new price hike plan.&lt;/p&gt;

  2359.  
  2360.  
  2361.  
  2362. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot;&gt;Buckingham Palace&lt;/a&gt; event comes just before the 11th anniversary of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lee-rigby/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lee&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3629582/lee-rigby-death-killers-michael-adebolago-adebowale-anniversary/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;horrific murder&lt;/a&gt; by two British-born jihadists as he walked back to his barracks in Woolwich, South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2363.  
  2364.  
  2365.  
  2366. &lt;p&gt;The day is especially poignant for Lyn as it was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Charles &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Camilla &lt;/a&gt;who wrote to her and sent her flowers in the aftermath of Lee’s killing on May 22, 2013.&lt;/p&gt;
  2367.  
  2368.  
  2369.  
  2370. &lt;p&gt;Lyn, 58, says it shows the King has not forgotten her son, aged 25, a drummer with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.&lt;/p&gt;
  2371.  
  2372.  
  2373.  
  2374. &lt;p&gt;She added: “I couldn’t wish for a greater honour than this and it means the world to me.&lt;/p&gt;
  2375.  
  2376.  
  2377.  
  2378. &lt;p&gt;“It really proves that our King has never forgotten my son Lee.&lt;/p&gt;
  2379.  
  2380.  
  2381.  
  2382. &lt;p&gt;“That is the greatest gift anyone can give me — to remember Lee. I have nightmares he will one day be forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;
  2383.  
  2384.  
  2385.  
  2386. &lt;p&gt;“Our King has always been a kind and caring man. I’ll never forget the beautiful letter and flowers he and Camilla sent me.&lt;/p&gt;
  2387.  
  2388.  
  2389.  
  2390. &lt;p&gt;“It was so heartfelt and genuine and I’ve kept the letter to this day.&lt;/p&gt;
  2391.  
  2392.  
  2393.  
  2394. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Now, over a decade later, he’s still got Lee and my family in his thoughts. I feel very blessed he cares so much.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2395.  
  2396.  
  2397.  
  2398. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3884685/lee-rigby-killer-michael-adebolajo-murder/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Michael Adebolajo&lt;/a&gt; and Michael Adebowale are serving life for Lee’s murder.&lt;/p&gt;

  2478. &lt;p&gt;The moon and Pluto connect money and work ambitions in a project that’s perfect for you – though you may need to convince people close to you, as you will need more freedom.&lt;/p&gt;

  2525.  
  2526. &lt;p&gt;Even if you feel stuck in a routine, you have the ability to adapt and grow close to home.&lt;/p&gt;

  2858.  
  2859.  
  2860.  
  2861. &lt;p&gt;Take care when you discuss people or promises today, as you may not realise who’s listening.&lt;/p&gt;

  2874.  
  2875.  
  2876.  
  2877. &lt;p&gt;A time of unfairness can pass when you step up for groups, individuals and yourself – with clear words and calm actions.&lt;/p&gt;
  2878.  
  2879.  
  2880.  
  2881. &lt;p&gt;But make sure you keep a note of any agreement or instructions.&lt;/p&gt;

  2902.  
  2903.  
  2904.  
  2905. &lt;p&gt;Honesty about how you live opens up talking and gets potential changes on the table.&lt;/p&gt;
  2906.  
  2907.  
  2908.  
  2909. &lt;p&gt;Take it slow, but do take this forward.&lt;/p&gt;

  2911.  
  2912.  
  2913. &lt;p&gt;Your ­money-based sector is Pluto-ruled, and you’re getting used to the sudden switches between prices and prospects this can mean.&lt;/p&gt;
  2914.  
  2915.  
  2916.  
  2917. &lt;p&gt;But don’t ignore a sudden “B” deal of the day.&lt;/p&gt;

  2934.  
  2935.  
  2936.  
  2937. &lt;p&gt;You have the most natural zodiac ability to grow and learn, and any new path you decide on gets a special boost.&lt;/p&gt;
  2938.  
  2939.  
  2940.  
  2941. &lt;p&gt;Going forward, you accept you don’t need to be perfect to progress.&lt;/p&gt;
  2942.  
  2943.  
  2944.  
  2945. &lt;p&gt;In love terms, too, deciding not to dwell on minor niggles can open your heart to a partner again.&lt;/p&gt;

  2962.  
  2963.  
  2964.  
  2965. &lt;p&gt;This is a day of moon-based intensity for you – about who you want around you, and why.&lt;/p&gt;
  2966.  
  2967.  
  2968.  
  2969. &lt;p&gt;Switch off your tendency to make excuses, and make the choices you know you need.&lt;/p&gt;
  2970.  
  2971.

  2973. &lt;p&gt;A contacts list may shrink, but it will mean much more.&lt;/p&gt;

  2992. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE Fortune Hotel fans have demanded a shake-up after slamming contestants who &amp;#8216;don&amp;#8217;t know how to play&amp;#8217; the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  2993.  
  2994.  
  2995.  
  2996. &lt;p&gt;The new ITV show, which hit our screens last Monday, has certainly left viewers on the edge of their seats.&lt;/p&gt;
  2997.  
  2998.  
  2999.  
  3000. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033306&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/2024/05/3c98a2b7-d74e-4131-a273-e27cacc35252.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033306&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;519&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The Fortune Hotel fans all said the same thing&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  3001.  
  3002.  
  3003.  
  3004. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033338&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/2024/05/Capture_47181b.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033338&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;583&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Viewers think that they are not playing the game&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  3005.  
  3006.  
  3007.  
  3008. &lt;p&gt;The programme, hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27982952/stephen-mangan-life-off-screen-addiction-wife/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Stephen Mangan&lt;/a&gt;, has followed 10 pairs trying to battle it out for £250,000 hidden in ONE of their suitcases.&lt;/p&gt;
  3009.  
  3010.  
  3011.  
  3012. &lt;p&gt;The couples are tasked with a challenge during the day, and then in the evening, they decide if they want to keep or swap their suitcases in the Lady Luck bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  3013.  
  3014.  
  3015.  
  3016. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27931424/the-fortune-hotel-itv-caribbean-beach-silversands-granada-where/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Fortune Hotel &lt;/a&gt;is the ultimate game of deception &amp;#8211; and some viewers aren&amp;#8217;t happy with contestants as they don&amp;#8217;t think they are very good at playing the game. &lt;/p&gt;
  3017.  
  3018.  
  3019.  
  3020. &lt;p&gt;During this evening&amp;#8217;s instalment, Jo-Anne even started crying while she was chatting with Jae and Cherish over what had happened the night before. &lt;/p&gt;
  3021.  
  3022.  
  3023.  
  3024. &lt;p&gt;Many have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their frustrations. &lt;/p&gt;
  3025.  
  3026.  
  3027.  
  3028. &lt;p&gt;One wrote on the platform: &amp;#8220;I don’t understand why they are all taking it so personally! It’s a dog eat dog game.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3029.  
  3030.  
  3031.  
  3032. &lt;p&gt;Another asked: &amp;#8220;What’s with #Cherish and #Jae and the intense dislike of everyone else? Particularly Dan and Claire. They’re ruining their own experience of what should  a fun game.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3033.  
  3034.  
  3035.  
  3036. &lt;p&gt;A third chimed in: What are they crying for. It’s a silly game.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3037.  
  3038.  
  3039.  
  3040. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why are you explaining why you gave someone the card??? It&amp;#8217;s a game!,&amp;#8221; a fourth said.&lt;/p&gt;
  3041.  
  3042.  
  3043.  
  3044. &lt;p&gt;It comes after last week fans raged as they&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27972048/the-fortune-hotel-itv-scripted-staged-scenes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; slammed ITV for ‘scripted and staged’ scenes.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3045.  
  3046.  
  3047.  
  3048. &lt;!-- Start of Brightcove Player --&gt;

  3063. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  3064.  
  3065.  
  3066.  
  3067. &lt;p&gt;Viewers spotted a pattern between certain contestants after it was spotted that they players who won the Early Checkout Card also found themselves on top of the daily tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
  3068.  
  3069.  
  3070.  
  3071. &lt;p&gt;Lesley and Gary won it on Wednesday, followed by Jae and Cherish on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
  3072.  
  3073.  
  3074.  
  3075. &lt;p&gt;One fumed on social media: So YET AGAIN everything that happens, happens to the people with the card and the money. Come on now, it&amp;#8217;s way beyond a coincidence now.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  3076.  
  3077.  
  3078.  
  3079. &lt;p&gt;Another also pointed it out as they wrote:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;I noticed this a few nights ago. This is beginning to seem very scripted &amp;amp; staged. I think to spice the show up in the&amp;nbsp;future&amp;nbsp;they should some nights force all contestants to swap cases regardless. It’s becoming boring.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3080.  
  3081.  
  3082.  
  3083. &lt;p&gt;A third said: &amp;#8220;So the team with the early checkout have won the challenge again?&lt;/p&gt;
  3084.  
  3085.  
  3086.  
  3087. &lt;p&gt;Last week others shared their frustration when one of the instalments ended on a very tense cliffhanger.&lt;/p&gt;
  3088.

  3107. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;SHOPPERS have been gutted to learn that a popular doughnut chain is set to shut down five of its stores.&lt;/p&gt;

  3111. &lt;p&gt;Planet Doughnut has announced its &amp;#8220;tough decision&amp;#8221; to close most of the locations.&lt;/p&gt;
  3112.  
  3113.  
  3114.  
  3115. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032903&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/2024/05/leaving-hole-such-shame-cry-903292139.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032903&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;Trip Advisor&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Five Planet Doughnut branches have closed down now[/caption]
  3116.  
  3117.  
  3118.  
  3119. &lt;p&gt;The bakery, specialising in hand made doughnuts, had eight stores across the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/west-midlands/&quot;&gt;West Midlands&lt;/a&gt; and northwest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; during its peak.&lt;/p&gt;
  3120.  
  3121.  
  3122.  
  3123. &lt;p&gt;And despite pumping out 10,000 doughnuts every day, the chain&amp;#8217;s bosses said that the high street shops have been scraping to stay afloat.&lt;/p&gt;
  3124.  
  3125.  
  3126.  
  3127. &lt;p&gt;In March, the company&amp;#8217;s founder Duncan McGregor broke the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt; of the Lichfield store pulling down its shutters.&lt;/p&gt;
  3128.  
  3129.  
  3130.  
  3131. &lt;p&gt;Now four more branches have also shut down following the franchise partner&amp;#8217;s decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  3132.  
  3133.  
  3134.  
  3135. &lt;p&gt;Managing director Rob Jones said in a statement: “Despite our best efforts and continued support, one of our franchise partners has made the tough decision to close all four of their Planet Doughnut stores.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3136.  
  3137.  
  3138.  
  3139. &lt;p&gt;The four stores include Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, Warrington and Widnes in Cheshire, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/st-helens/&quot;&gt;St Helens&lt;/a&gt; in Merseyside.&lt;/p&gt;
  3140.  
  3141.  
  3142.  
  3143. &lt;p&gt;The remaining three locations in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/shrewsbury/&quot;&gt;Shrewsbury&lt;/a&gt;, Telford and Chester will be revamped into Dipp&amp;#8217;d stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  3144.  
  3145.  
  3146.  
  3147. &lt;p&gt;But to sweet-toothed fans&amp;#8217; delight, they will still be selling the same beloved doughnuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  3148.  
  3149.  
  3150.  
  3151. &lt;p&gt;Mr Jones added: &amp;#8220;Planet Doughnut Bakery will continue to supply all three Dipp&amp;#8217;d stores with our doughnuts.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3152.  
  3153.  
  3154.  
  3155. &lt;p&gt;Last year Planet Doughnut had to close down its location in Nantwich &amp;#8211;  only two years after it first welcomed customers in September 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

  3177.  
  3178. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We sympathise with our franchisees as trading on the high street has been difficult in recent years,&amp;#8221; Mr Jones said.&lt;/p&gt;
  3179.  
  3180.  
  3181.  
  3182. &lt;p&gt;Fans have been devastated to learn of the closure of their favourite doughnut shops.&lt;/p&gt;
  3183.  
  3184.  
  3185.  
  3186. &lt;p&gt;One person said: &amp;#8220;Well that&amp;#8217;s disappointing, it was the only place close by that did dairy free doughnuts!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3187.  
  3188.  
  3189.  
  3190. &lt;p&gt;Another one added: My wife and I love your doughnuts above any other brand. Not having any physical store near us is just sad.&amp;nbsp;Your doughnuts are our comfort food!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3191.  
  3192.  
  3193.  
  3194. &lt;p&gt;A third person wrote: &amp;#8220;Oh this is such a shame. The Newcastle Under Lyme one was never busy but I have visited a lot. &lt;/p&gt;
  3195.  
  3196.  
  3197.  
  3198. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Lovely latte’s and milkshakes. It’s always sad when a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; has to close.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3199.  
  3200.  
  3201.  
  3202. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not all doom and gloom though as the company will continue stockpiling retailers across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  3203.  
  3204.  
  3205.  
  3206. &lt;p&gt;Mr Jones said: “Planet Doughnut Bakery now supplies a long list of stockists from farm shops to garden centres, pub chains, venues and the country&amp;#8217;s largest sporting stadiums. &lt;/p&gt;
  3207.  
  3208.  
  3209.  
  3210. &lt;p&gt;“We continue to supply most major wholesalers, meaning that we can deliver to every corner of the UK.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3221. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  3222. RETAILERS have been hit by soaring inflation and a downturn in spending due to the cost of living crisis. &lt;/p&gt;
  3223. &lt;div&gt;
  3224. &lt;p&gt;High energy costs are a move to shopping online are also taking their toll.&lt;/p&gt;
  3225. &lt;p&gt;While some high street shops have closed due to businesses opening up in different locations such as larger retail parks.&lt;/p&gt;
  3226. &lt;p&gt;Shops may also close due to a number of other reasons, such as rising rents.&lt;/p&gt;
  3227. &lt;p&gt;We explain which retailers are closing in 2024:&lt;/p&gt;
  3228. &lt;ul&gt;
  3229. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Argos &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; The brand announced plans to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/22951816/argos-uk-store-closures-which-branches/&quot;&gt;close 100 standalone UK branches last year&lt;/a&gt; as it looks to move away from the high street and focus on expanding its presence in supermarkets.&lt;/li&gt;
  3230. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B&amp;amp;Q&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The chain has over 300 shops across the UK, with two stores closing this year due to leases not being renewed. It has plans to open more in 2024 too.&lt;/li&gt;
  3231. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boots&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The health and beauty chain announced that it would be closing&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23139647/boots-shut-more-stores-close-latest-list/&quot;&gt;300 stores&lt;/a&gt; last July. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/9178259/boots-uk-store-closures-shops-closing-latest/&quot;&gt;Closures are ongoing&lt;/a&gt; and this will see the retailer&amp;#8217;s estate reduced from 2,200 to 1,900 shops.&lt;/li&gt;
  3232. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clintons &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Clintons mulled plans to close 38 shops in a bid to avoid insolvency late last year. We&amp;#8217;ve listed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24573810/is-clintons-cards-closing-list-of-stores-affected/&quot;&gt;stores affected&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  3233. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Costa Coffee&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The caffeine giant has around 2,000 sites nationwide, so chances are you&amp;#8217;ll have one near you. The chain has shut the doors to dozens of its sites recently. We&amp;#8217;ve revealed which &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24072056/costa-closing-full-list-coffee-shops-shutting-good/&quot;&gt;stores are due to close this year&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  3234. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iceland &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; The supermarket has more than 900 stores but closed nearly two dozen sites in 2023, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/21694156/which-iceland-stores-are-closing-down/&quot;&gt;more selected shops are due to shut&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  3235. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lidl &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; The supermarket, which has 950 stores, is changing up shop locations, which has meant that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23643219/lidl-stores-closing-2023-list/&quot;&gt;some stores have to close&lt;/a&gt;. But the retailer is also looking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26053771/lidl-to-open-12-new-stores-uk-full-list/&quot;&gt;open 12 new supermarkets&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  3236. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;M&amp;amp;S&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; M&amp;amp;S, which runs 405 stores across the country, has been closing a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/5465250/marks-and-spencer-closures-stores-list-jobs/&quot;&gt;string of branches&lt;/a&gt; across the country in a blow for shoppers. It&amp;#8217;s not all bad news, though, because the chain also has big plans to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/5465250/marks-and-spencer-closures-stores-list-jobs/&quot;&gt;open dozens of new shops as well&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  3237. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trespass &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; The firm announced in July last year that it was closing six branches, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25277547/outdoor-clothes-shop-trespass-sutton-coldfield-branch-closing/&quot;&gt;more are on the way&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  3238. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHSmith&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The retail giant, which runs over 1,100 stores, has shuttered eight stores since March 2023, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26188876/whsmith-closing-branches-england-scotland-opening-stores/&quot;&gt;more are coming&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  3239. &lt;/ul&gt;

  3261. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOU don’t have to spend sew much to get crafty with a needle and thread.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3262.  
  3263.  
  3264.  
  3265. &lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/great-british-sewing-bee/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Great British Sewing Bee&lt;/a&gt; returns to BBC One tonight, get in on the action with these simple tips . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  3266.

  3274.  
  3275.  
  3276.  
  3277. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;START SMALL:&lt;/strong&gt; Begin with simple projects such as pillowcases, tote bags or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/17889917/clothes-wardrobe-save-tips-sun-savers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;basic clothing alterations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3278.  
  3279.  
  3280.  
  3281. &lt;p&gt;These will require minimal materials and are great for learning the basics.&lt;/p&gt;
  3282.  
  3283.  
  3284.  
  3285. &lt;p&gt;You do not need every gadget on the market to start with. &lt;/p&gt;
  3286.  
  3287.  
  3288.  
  3289. &lt;p&gt;Focus on a few essential tools — a good pair of fabric scissors, needles and thread.&lt;/p&gt;
  3290.  
  3291.  
  3292.  
  3293. &lt;p&gt;As you become more experienced, you can gradually add more specialised tools to your collection.&lt;/p&gt;
  3294.  
  3295.  
  3296.  
  3297. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIY PROJECTS:&lt;/strong&gt; Before &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27986593/great-british-sewing-bee-returns-bbc-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;buying new material&lt;/a&gt;, check what you already have at home.&lt;/p&gt;
  3298.  
  3299.  
  3300.  
  3301. &lt;p&gt;Old clothes, sheets and other fabrics can be repurposed. &lt;/p&gt;
  3302.  
  3303.  
  3304.  
  3305. &lt;p&gt;This not only saves money but also gives you practice working with different types of fabrics and techniques.&lt;/p&gt;
  3306.  
  3307.  
  3308.  
  3309. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SECONDS ARE BEST:&lt;/strong&gt; If you are just starting out, there is no need to invest in a high-end &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/14710995/crafting-sewing-machine-thread-storage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sewing machine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3310.  
  3311.  
  3312.  
  3313. &lt;p&gt;Borrow one from a friend or look for second-hand machines at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27470432/richest-charity-shops-designer-gear-dont-expect-bargains/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;charity shops&lt;/a&gt;, car boot sales or online marketplaces.&lt;/p&gt;

  3524. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;WHILE it is a largely preventable condition, around 13.6million of us are at risk of type 2 diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;
  3525.  
  3526.  
  3527.  
  3528. &lt;p&gt;Closely linked to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/obesity&quot;&gt;obesity&lt;/a&gt;, it can lead to problems including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/heart-disease/&quot;&gt;heart disease&lt;/a&gt;, stroke, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27447999/british-men-sexual-crisis-porn-erectile-dysfunction/&quot;&gt;erectile dysfunction&lt;/a&gt; and tooth loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  3529.  
  3530.  
  3531.  
  3532. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27196858&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sun-columnist-dr-zoe-707920874.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27196858&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Olivia West&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Dr Zoe Williams helps a reader dealing with intensely itchy skin[/caption]
  3533.  
  3534.  
  3535.  
  3536. &lt;p&gt;But carrying excess body weight isn’t the only risk factor. &lt;/p&gt;
  3537.  
  3538.  
  3539.  
  3540. &lt;p&gt;So is having a family member diagnosed with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/diabetes/&quot;&gt;diabetes&lt;/a&gt; or high blood pressure.&lt;/p&gt;
  3541.  
  3542.  
  3543.  
  3544. &lt;p&gt;People of South Asian, African-Caribbean or Black African descent are up to four times more likely to be diagnosed.&lt;/p&gt;
  3545.  
  3546.  
  3547.  
  3548. &lt;p&gt;Smoking, PCOS, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; conditions and having gestational diabetes (in pregnancy) all raise your chances too. &lt;/p&gt;
  3549.  
  3550.  
  3551.  
  3552. &lt;p&gt;This is type 2 diabetes prevention week, so grab a tape measure to check your risk. &lt;/p&gt;
  3553.  
  3554.  
  3555.  
  3556. &lt;p&gt;A healthy waist size in most men is 37in (94cm) or below, or 35in (90cm) for those of South Asian descent.&lt;/p&gt;
  3557.  
  3558.  
  3559.  
  3560. &lt;p&gt;For women of all ethnicities, a healthy waist size is less than 31.5in (80cm).&lt;/p&gt;
  3561.  
  3562.  
  3563.  
  3564. &lt;p&gt;If you are above these thresholds, then it is worth taking steps towards getting healthier.&lt;/p&gt;
  3565.  
  3566.  
  3567.  
  3568. &lt;p&gt;You can take a look at the free NHS 12-week weight-loss programme or, if you’ve tried that sort of thing before, speak to your GP to see what support is available to you.&lt;/p&gt;

  3592.  
  3593.  
  3594.  
  3595. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: I HAVE suffered with itchy skin for months. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3596.  
  3597.  
  3598.  
  3599. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It started on my scalp and the nape of the neck.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3600.  
  3601.  
  3602.  
  3603. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It then spread down my back, to the sides of my face, shoulders, arms and under my breasts. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3604.  
  3605.  
  3606.  
  3607. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is severe and keeps me awake at night. I am so tired.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3608.  
  3609.  
  3610.  
  3611. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I’ve been given antihistamines and Eurax cream but the itch and rash is worsening. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3612.  
  3613.  
  3614.  
  3615. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have only seen a nurse and been advised to see a pharmacist. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3616.  
  3617.  
  3618.  
  3619. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I’m a 70-year-old woman. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3620.  
  3621.  
  3622.  
  3623. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please can you help me?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3624.  
  3625.  
  3626.  
  3627. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A: &lt;/strong&gt;The widespread nature of your itching, along with the fact that it’s not improving with your prescriptions, suggests that there might be an underlying medical condition.&lt;/p&gt;
  3628.  
  3629.  
  3630.  
  3631. &lt;p&gt;This could be a condition which originates in the skin itself – such as eczema, psoriasis or a fungal ­infection of the skin – or it could be a systemic illness. &lt;/p&gt;
  3632.  
  3633.  
  3634.  
  3635. &lt;p&gt;Allergies, hormonal imbalances or medication side-effects could also be causing or contributing to your symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;
  3636.  
  3637.  
  3638.  
  3639. &lt;p&gt;Which came first – the itch causing the rash, or the rash causing the itch? &lt;/p&gt;
  3640.  
  3641.  
  3642.  
  3643. &lt;p&gt;Either way, it is important to have it properly assessed and likely have some blood tests too.&lt;/p&gt;
  3644.

  3646.  
  3647. &lt;p&gt;GP surgeries are strained at the moment and the truth is that most practices are struggling to provide the great quality of care that they want to. &lt;/p&gt;
  3648.  
  3649.  
  3650.  
  3651. &lt;p&gt;This means that patients need to advocate for ­themselves more than ever before.&lt;/p&gt;
  3652.  
  3653.  
  3654.  
  3655. &lt;p&gt;In your case, the fact that your itching is severe and affecting your quality of life so much makes it important, so I would definitely recommend scheduling an appointment to see your GP.&lt;/p&gt;
  3656.  
  3657.  
  3658.  
  3659. &lt;p&gt;There’s no harm in seeing a pharmacist in the meantime, who may be able to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  3660.  
  3661.  
  3662.  
  3663. &lt;p&gt;Pharmacists train for four years and gain lots of knowledge in treating patients with minor ­illnesses in addition to their expertise in medicines.&lt;/p&gt;
  3664.  
  3665.  
  3666.  
  3667. &lt;p&gt;The pharmacist may be able to identify a fungal infection on the skin and advise appropriate antifungal treatments, or they may suggest mild corticosteroids if they suspect an inflammatory skin condition such as eczema.&lt;/p&gt;
  3668.  
  3669.  
  3670.  
  3671. &lt;p&gt;The good news is that most itchy skin conditions will improve once the cause is known and properly treated.&lt;/p&gt;
  3672.  
  3673.

  3679. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: I HAVE had ankylosing spondylitis for 50 years and it was under control with anti-inflammatory medication.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3680.  
  3681.  
  3682.  
  3683. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then I was told to stop taking it because it was affecting my kidneys.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  3691. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tramadol and co-codamol gave little relief and prednisolone left me ­with insomnia after a few weeks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3692.  
  3693.  
  3694.  
  3695. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am just about to start taking ­adalimumab (Imraldi) and would like to know if my doctor should put antibiotics on my prescription as my immune ­system will be compromised.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3696.  
  3697.  
  3698.  
  3699. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A: &lt;/strong&gt;Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the spine, causing pain, stiffness, and potentially leading to fusion of the vertebrae over time. &lt;/p&gt;
  3700.  
  3701.  
  3702.  
  3703. &lt;p&gt;It’s a shame your kidneys were being affected by the anti-inflammatories as it sounds like they helped a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706.  
  3707. &lt;p&gt;Imraldi is a biologic medication that helps to reduce inflammation by blocking a specific protein. &lt;/p&gt;
  3708.  
  3709.  
  3710.  
  3711. &lt;p&gt;You are right that it can also affect how your immune system works.&lt;/p&gt;
  3712.  
  3713.  
  3714.  
  3715. &lt;p&gt;However prophylactic antibiotics (to ­prevent, rather than treat infection) are not usually required or prescribed with Imraldi.&lt;/p&gt;
  3716.  
  3717.  
  3718.  
  3719. &lt;p&gt;It is important, however, to be vigilant for signs of infection, and if you think you have an infection at any time you should let your medical team know immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
  3720.  
  3721.  
  3722.  
  3723. &lt;p&gt;It is important not to take antibiotics unless necessary. &lt;/p&gt;
  3724.  
  3725.  
  3726.  
  3727. &lt;p&gt;Overuse can cause ­bacteria to change and become resistant to the ­antibiotics meant to kill them, making antibiotics less effective – this is known as antibiotic resistance.&lt;/p&gt;
  3728.  
  3729.  
  3730.  
  3731. &lt;p&gt;This can limit the antibiotics we can use to treat people and results in more serious, sometimes life-threatening infections.&lt;/p&gt;
  3732.  
  3733.  
  3734.  
  3735. &lt;p&gt;When you do need antibiotics, it is also important to complete the prescribed course, even if you start feeling better. &lt;/p&gt;
  3736.  
  3737.  
  3738.  
  3739. &lt;p&gt;This ensures all bacteria are killed and prevents the development of resistant strains.&lt;/p&gt;
  3740.  
  3741.  
  3742.  
  3743. &lt;p&gt;My advice is to have a chat with your ­specialist medical team – the specialist nurse is usually most accessible.&lt;/p&gt;
  3744.  
  3745.  
  3746.  
  3747. &lt;p&gt;Find out the exact advice for yourself concerning any future infections and use of antibiotics.&lt;/p&gt;
  3748.  
  3749.

  3751. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;HOPE FOR ALZHEIMER’S&lt;/h2&gt;
  3752.  
  3753.  
  3754.  
  3755. &lt;p&gt;A COMMON hormone already produced by the body could stop early-stage &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/Alzheimers&quot;&gt;Alzheimer’s&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3756.  
  3757.  
  3758.  
  3759. &lt;p&gt;Leptin is released by fat cells and is involved in appetite regulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  3760.  
  3761.  
  3762.  
  3763. &lt;p&gt;Researchers at the University of Dundee have discovered that a small part of the hormone can reduce the effects of toxic proteins called amyloid and tau, which build up in the brain and lead to memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease.&lt;/p&gt;
  3764.  
  3765.  
  3766.  
  3767. &lt;p&gt;Professor Jenni Harvey said: “We’re working at the level of synapses which are the communication points in the brain because synapses are affected early in the disease process, when Alzheimer’s is still reversible.&lt;/p&gt;
  3768.  
  3769.  
  3770.  
  3771. &lt;p&gt;“We have found that applying leptin can block the ability of amyloid and tau to interfere with synapses and memory loss, and it can prevent the unwanted effects of these cellular changes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3772.  
  3773.  
  3774.  
  3775. &lt;p&gt;The researchers discovered six amino acid fragments out of the 167 within the hormone that slow or stop the disease.&lt;/p&gt;
  3776.  
  3777.  
  3778.  
  3779. &lt;p&gt;This has enabled scientists to design a potential drug template. But it could be a few years before any new leptin-based drugs become available.&lt;/p&gt;
  3780.  
  3781.  
  3782.  
  3783. &lt;p&gt;Prof Harvey said: “Developing drugs is not a quick process, most drugs take around ten years.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3784.  
  3785.  
  3786.  
  3787. &lt;p&gt;There are 900,000 people in the UK with dementia and it is predicted to rise to 1.6million by 2050.&lt;/p&gt;
  3788.

  3792.  
  3793.  
  3794.  
  3795. &lt;p&gt;NIGHTMARES and “daymares” could be an early warning sign of lupus.&lt;/p&gt;
  3796.  
  3797.  
  3798.  
  3799. &lt;p&gt;A study by University of Cambridge and King’s College London looked at people with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/1946204/lupus-symptoms-selena-gomez-condition-treatment-kidney-transplant/&quot;&gt;lupus&lt;/a&gt;, a disease which causes the immune system to attack tissues and organs, as well as other chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorders.&lt;/p&gt;

  3804.  
  3805.  
  3806.  
  3807. &lt;p&gt;Researchers asked almost 700 patients to list the order in which 29 neurological and mental health symptoms, including depression, hallucinations and loss of balance, usually occurred.&lt;/p&gt;
  3808.  
  3809.  
  3810.  
  3811. &lt;p&gt;The survey found three in five patients with lupus and one in three with other rheumatology-related conditions had a spike in vivid, distressing nightmares before having hallucinations. &lt;/p&gt;
  3812.  
  3813.  
  3814.  
  3815. &lt;p&gt;They added that they thought this happened when they were “overwhelmed” and “the more stress my body is under, the more vivid and bad the dreaming would be”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3816.  
  3817.  
  3818.  
  3819. &lt;p&gt;Experts said it had long been suspected that nightmares and hallucinations were linked with the disease, which counts US pop singer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1823526/selena-gomez-age-dating-songs/&quot;&gt;Selena Gomez&lt;/a&gt; among its sufferers.&lt;/p&gt;
  3820.  
  3821.  
  3822.  
  3823. &lt;p&gt;Angie Davidson, of the Lupus Trust, said: “Many patients have talked about having these sort of symptoms without knowing it was part of their disease.&lt;/p&gt;
  3824.  
  3825.  
  3826.  
  3827. &lt;p&gt;“It’s a fantastic breakthrough in recognising another area of lupus.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3853.  
  3854.  
  3855.  
  3856. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could this be caused by the drug?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3857.  
  3858.  
  3859.  
  3860. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A: &lt;/strong&gt;The short answer is yes, it ­certainly could be.&lt;/p&gt;
  3861.  
  3862.  
  3863.  
  3864. &lt;p&gt;Blocking oestrogen can affect any and every organ and ­system of the body because oestrogen plays a role in how all parts of the body function.&lt;/p&gt;
  3865.  
  3866.  
  3867.  
  3868. &lt;p&gt;Oestrogen-blocking drugs, such as Tamoxifen, help to lower the risk of breast cancer coming back in ­people who have a type of breast cancer which is hormone-receptor-positive.&lt;/p&gt;
  3869.  
  3870.  
  3871.  
  3872. &lt;p&gt;They do this by blocking the oestrogen receptors, which stops oestrogen from telling the cancer cells to grow.&lt;/p&gt;
  3873.  
  3874.  
  3875.  
  3876. &lt;p&gt;Tamoxifen can reduce the risk of breast cancer coming back by 40 to 50 per cent in post- menopausal wo- men and by 30 to 50 per cent in pre- menopausal women.&lt;/p&gt;
  3877.  
  3878.  
  3879.  
  3880. &lt;p&gt;It can reduce the risk of a new cancer developing in the other breast by about 50 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  3881.  
  3882.  
  3883.  
  3884. &lt;p&gt;The downside, though, is that it also blocks the oestrogen receptors in other tissue, and this can cause a whole range of negative side-effects, many of which are the same as ­menopause.&lt;/p&gt;
  3885.  
  3886.  
  3887.  
  3888. &lt;p&gt;It can lead to changes in muscles and joints, causing pain and stiffness. &lt;/p&gt;
  3889.  
  3890.  
  3891.  
  3892. &lt;p&gt;Oestrogen also helps keep the skin healthy, so dry and inflamed skin can certainly be a side-effect of taking this medication.&lt;/p&gt;
  3893.  
  3894.  
  3895.  
  3896. &lt;p&gt;Having said that, it’s important not to ignore other potential causes such as psoriasis, which can cause red, flaky skin (and joint pain sometimes) but is very treatable.&lt;/p&gt;
  3897.  
  3898.  
  3899.  
  3900. &lt;p&gt;Your pharmacist can advise you on over-the-counter treatments for ­psoriasis and I recommend making a routine appointment with your GP surgery to discuss your symptoms in more detail.&lt;/p&gt;
  3901.  
  3902.  
  3903.  
  3904. &lt;p&gt;If the symptoms do turn out to be side-effects of medication, that can be very helpful for consideration of the length of treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3926. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;HOLIDAYMAKERS are in for a summer flights boost after Ryanair said its tickets will be cheaper than expected.&lt;/p&gt;
  3927.  
  3928.  
  3929.  
  3930. &lt;p&gt;The budget airline’s boss Michael O’Leary blamed “a recessionary feel around Europe” for holding back how much it was able to hike prices so far this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3931.  
  3932.  
  3933.  
  3934. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032775&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/2024/05/undated-file-photo-ryanair-plane-903107077.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032775&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;578&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Holidaymakers are in for a summer flights boost after Ryanair said its tickets will be cheaper than expected.[/caption]

  3938. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032782&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/2024/05/2023-rome-italy-mr-oleary-844454850.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032782&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;641&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary blamed &amp;#8216;a recessionary feel around Europe&amp;#8217; for holding back how much it was able to hike prices[/caption]
  3939.  
  3940.  
  3941.  
  3942. &lt;p&gt;It is already discounting some &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; midweek tickets to £17 and said it would continue to do so to ensure planes are full. &lt;/p&gt;
  3943.  
  3944.  
  3945.  
  3946. &lt;p&gt;The firm had warned earlier this year that fares could be rise by 10 per cent because of constraints on capacity due to delays in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/boeing/&quot;&gt;Boeing&lt;/a&gt; supplying new aircraft.&lt;/p&gt;
  3947.  
  3948.  
  3949.  
  3950. &lt;p&gt;But the Irish carrier has now changed tack and said that “recent pricing is softer than we expected”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3951.  
  3952.  
  3953.  
  3954. &lt;p&gt;Peak summer fares will now be “flat to modestly ahead of last summer”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3955.  
  3956.  
  3957.  
  3958. &lt;p&gt;Danni Hewson, market analyst at AJ Bell, said the pricing plan shift talk was unsurprising.&lt;/p&gt;
  3959.  
  3960.  
  3961.  
  3962. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Even if people are beginning to feel a little better off as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt; falls, they are remaining cautious, which could have an impact on the number of bums on seats once the summer surge is over.&lt;/p&gt;
  3963.  
  3964.  
  3965.  
  3966. &lt;p&gt;“Ryanair needs to keep planes as full as possible to maintain margins, so keener pricing could be a requirement in those leaner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/winter/&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/a&gt; months.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3967.

  4041. &lt;p&gt;Gold prices also typically rise when interest rates are expected to fall, because investors tend to switch back into it from higher interest- paying assets.&lt;/p&gt;

  4061. &lt;p&gt;VICTORIAN PLUMBING has had enough of name mix-ups and is buying out its arch-rival Victoria Plum in a deal worth £22.5million.&lt;/p&gt;
  4062.  
  4063.  
  4064.  
  4065. &lt;p&gt;The takeover ends 23 years of sparring between the two similarly named bathroom retailers, including a trademark dispute eight years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  4066.  
  4067.  
  4068.  
  4069. &lt;p&gt;Insiders said Victorian Plumbing was spending millions on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/google/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; adverts to ensure it outranked its rival in online search results and the takeover was a means of ending customer confusion.&lt;/p&gt;
  4070.  
  4071.  
  4072.  
  4073. &lt;p&gt;Victoria Plum went through a restructuring in 2021 which irked listed Victorian Plumbing.&lt;/p&gt;
  4074.  
  4075.  
  4076.  
  4077. &lt;p&gt;At the time, Victorian boss Mark Radcliffe said he wanted to remind customers and suppliers they were “totally different companies with no link whatsoever”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4078.  
  4079.  
  4080.  
  4081. &lt;p&gt;Mr Radcliffe set up Victorian Plumbing from his parents’ garage in Manchester in 2000. One year later Victoria Plum launched in Hull.&lt;/p&gt;
  4082.  
  4083.  
  4084.  
  4085. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;We won&amp;#8217;t cash out&lt;/h2&gt;
  4086.  
  4087.  
  4088.  
  4089. &lt;p&gt;PEOPLE still withdraw £209million in cash from ATMs every day, says a Link survey.&lt;/p&gt;
  4090.  
  4091.  
  4092.  
  4093. &lt;p&gt;The figure shows that readies are still used widely — although the amount is £100million less than in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  4094.  
  4095.  
  4096.  
  4097. &lt;p&gt;Many have returned to cash to help them budget during the cost-of-living crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  4098.  
  4099.  
  4100.  
  4101. &lt;p&gt;But around one in six say they never carry it — triple the number in 2019. Nearly half — 48 per cent — expect a cashless society in their lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;

  4109. &lt;p&gt;More than a fifth of all UK-listed firms have warned their profits will be lower than City expectations in the past 12 months, according to an EY-Parthenon report.&lt;/p&gt;
  4110.  
  4111.  
  4112.  
  4113. &lt;p&gt;And 41 per cent of FTSE retailers have issued profit warnings in the past year.&lt;/p&gt;

  4126.  
  4127.  
  4128.  
  4129. &lt;p&gt;Ben Broadbent said yesterday that evidence of easing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/2394425/uk-inflation-rate-causes-rise&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;inflation &lt;/a&gt;suggests “it’s possible the bank rate could be cut some time over the summer”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4130.  
  4131.  
  4132.  
  4133. &lt;p&gt;Figures out tomorrow are expected to show the rate of consumer price increases has fallen to around two per cent, the Bank’s &lt;span id=&quot;cc91a717-e97a-44f3-8633-a73cc968b692&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;target&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  4145. &lt;p&gt;EMPLOYERS are willing to pay staff 14 per cent more for roles requiring AI skills, according to a study by PWC.

  4303. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;AMIR Khan’s £11.5million wedding venue has finally hosted its first marriage after it was spotted surrounded by rubbish.&lt;/p&gt;
  4304.  
  4305.  
  4306.  
  4307. &lt;p&gt;The lavish &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/dubai/&quot;&gt;Dubai&lt;/a&gt;-style tower is actually in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/bolton/&quot;&gt;Bolton&lt;/a&gt; and is next to a hand car wash.&lt;/p&gt;

  4320.  
  4321.  
  4322.  
  4323. &lt;p&gt;It was first revealed in January and it faced further criticism after the surrounding &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25453030/neighbours-fume-amir-khans-luxury-wedding-venue/&quot;&gt;roads were full of fly-tipped rubbish&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4324.  
  4325.  
  4326.  
  4327. &lt;p&gt;Back in March, weirs were still visible on the metal corrugated roof.&lt;/p&gt;
  4328.  
  4329.  
  4330.  
  4331. &lt;p&gt;It was set to launch that month but the first wedding took place on May 18.&lt;/p&gt;
  4332.  
  4333.  
  4334.  
  4335. &lt;p&gt;Former boxer Amir, 37, wasn’t at his venue, he was in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/5760144/saudi-arabia/&quot;&gt;Saudi Arabia&lt;/a&gt; for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tyson-fury/&quot;&gt;Tyson Fury&lt;/a&gt; vs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oleksandr-usyk/&quot;&gt;Oleksandr Usyk&lt;/a&gt; fight.&lt;/p&gt;
  4336.  
  4337.  
  4338.  
  4339. &lt;p&gt;But he said: “The Balmayna’s doors have finally opened.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4340.  
  4341.  
  4342.  
  4343. &lt;p&gt;Videos show the lavish marble floors and chandeliers inside as formally dressed staff in bow ties served guests.&lt;/p&gt;
  4344.  
  4345.  
  4346.  
  4347. &lt;p&gt;The bride arrived in a horse-drawn carriage and the groom in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rolls-royce/&quot;&gt;Rolls-Royce&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4348.  
  4349.  
  4350.  
  4351. &lt;p&gt;Guests were saved fruit canapés as they arrived as a violist performed to the guests.&lt;/p&gt;
  4352.  
  4353.  
  4354.  
  4355. &lt;p&gt;A Balmayna spokesperson said: “The first love story at the Balmayna.&lt;/p&gt;
  4356.  
  4357.  
  4358.  
  4359. &lt;p&gt;“So elegant, so magical, simply a dream.&lt;/p&gt;

  4420. AMIR Khan shot to fame as an amateur, aged just 17, when he won a silver medal in the lightweight division at the 2004 Olympics, becoming Britain&amp;#039;s youngest boxing Olympic medalist. &lt;/p&gt;
  4421. &lt;div&gt;
  4422. &lt;p&gt;He made his professional debut against David Bailey in July 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
  4423. &lt;p&gt;In 2007, he was named&amp;nbsp;ESPN&amp;nbsp;prospect of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  4424. &lt;p&gt;He later became one of the youngest ever British professional world champions, winning the WBA title at the age of 22.&lt;/p&gt;
  4425. &lt;p&gt;On 6 December 2008, Khan scored a comeback win against&amp;nbsp;Oisin Fagan&amp;nbsp;with a second-round stoppage; Khan won the vacant&amp;nbsp;WBA&amp;nbsp;International lightweight title.&lt;/p&gt;
  4426. &lt;p&gt;It was announced on 8 April 2009 that Khan would move up to the light-welterweight division to fight&amp;nbsp;Andreas Kotelnik&amp;nbsp;for the&amp;nbsp;WBA light-welterweight title&amp;nbsp;on 18 July. Khan won by&amp;nbsp;unanimous decision&amp;nbsp;and became the third-youngest Brit to win a world title, at the age of 22.&lt;/p&gt;
  4427. &lt;p&gt;In early 2016, it was announced that Khan is moving up two&amp;nbsp;weight divisions&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;middleweight, to fight&amp;nbsp;Canelo Álvarez.&lt;/p&gt;
  4428. &lt;p&gt;Khan lost to Álvarez by way of knockout in round six.&lt;/p&gt;
  4429. &lt;p&gt;On 13 May 2022, Khan announced his retirement from boxing with a record of 34 wins from his 40 fights.&lt;/p&gt;
  4430. &lt;p&gt;Khan received a two year ban in April 2023, backdated to April 2022, after a doping test revealed the presence of&amp;nbsp;ostarine&amp;nbsp;following his fight against Kell Brook.&lt;/p&gt;
  4431. &lt;p&gt;The tribunal ruling over the case accepted Khan&amp;#8217;s argument that the violation was not intentional&lt;/p&gt;
  4432. &lt;/div&gt;
  4433. &lt;/div&gt;
  4434. &lt;/div&gt;
  4435.  
  4436.  
  4437.  
  4438. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s said to boast &amp;#8220;state-of-the-art lighting&amp;#8221;, sound systems and palm trees.&lt;/p&gt;
  4439.  
  4440.  
  4441.  
  4442. &lt;p&gt;One local Rakhee said: “It’s next to a dump.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4443.  
  4444.  
  4445.  
  4446. &lt;p&gt;A second &amp;#8211; called Rahila &amp;#8211; said: “The design is about 10 years out of date.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4447.  
  4448.  
  4449.  
  4450. &lt;p&gt;Yet another said: “It’s like a building from Dubai.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4451.  
  4452.  
  4453.  
  4454. &lt;p&gt;A fourth said: “Beautiful design.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4455.  
  4456.  
  4457.  
  4458. &lt;p&gt;The venue&amp;#8217;s website says the site will be able to host&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;a wedding like no other in the UK&amp;#8221; and promises it will exceed expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
  4459.  
  4460.  
  4461.  
  4462. &lt;p&gt;It reads: &amp;#8220;This wedding venue is the brainchild of Amir Khan, the world champion boxer, ensuring a touch of magnificence and excellence in every celebration.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4463.  
  4464.  
  4465.  
  4466. &lt;p&gt;Khan rose to fame after claiming silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics.&lt;/p&gt;
  4467.  
  4468.  
  4469.  
  4470. &lt;p&gt;The now-37-year-old&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17221365/amir-khan-retirement-kell-brook-live-results-reaction/&quot;&gt;lost to Kell Brook in a catchweight&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;bout in Manchester in 2022 but was later banned for two years for testing positive for Ostarine.&lt;/p&gt;

  4558. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A MAKEUP fan has shared two affordable lipstick buys that are the perfect replacement for higher-end products.&lt;/p&gt;
  4559.  
  4560.  
  4561.  
  4562. &lt;p&gt;Though they felt that many makeup dupes leave much to be desired, they were pleased by the near-identical drugstore finds.&lt;/p&gt;
  4563.  
  4564.  
  4565.  
  4566. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033141&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.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/mature-afro-woman-applying-mascara-692767503.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033141&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;A makeup fan shared drugstore dupes for higher-end products, including two YSL lip stains[/caption]
  4567.  
  4568.  
  4569.  
  4570. &lt;p&gt;Redditor &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Cloverbeam (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/muacjdiscussion/comments/wio8v2/comment/ije70w2/?utm_source=share&amp;amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;amp;utm_term=1&amp;amp;utm_content=share_button&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cloverbeam&lt;/a&gt; shared the money-saving products in a viral post.&lt;/p&gt;
  4571.  
  4572.  
  4573.  
  4574. &lt;p&gt;Most &amp;#8220;dupes,&amp;#8221; they explained, often don&amp;#8217;t measure up to the real thing.&lt;/p&gt;
  4575.  
  4576.  
  4577.  
  4578. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think the problem with dupes is that many of them seem based on color alone, or even just a [similarity] in packaging,&amp;#8221; they said. &lt;/p&gt;
  4579.  
  4580.  
  4581.  
  4582. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Few people go to the effort to look for true dupes in [the] formula, wear time, etc.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4583.  
  4584.  
  4585.  
  4586. &lt;p&gt;Products that may appear to be dupes are often completely different cosmetics, they noted. &lt;/p&gt;
  4587.  
  4588.  
  4589.  
  4590. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For example, Mac Face and Body is completely different from Dior Face and Body in finish, coverage, and application, but people just say it&amp;#8217;s the same thing for a &amp;#8216;different skin type,'&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4591.  
  4592.  
  4593.  
  4594. &lt;p&gt;Due to their higher standards for dupes, they explained that they don&amp;#8217;t actively seek out look-alike products.&lt;/p&gt;
  4595.  
  4596.  
  4597.  
  4598. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I usually don&amp;#8217;t really look for dupes, but if I&amp;#8217;m just generally looking for a type of product, I can be perfectly happy with a cheaper option,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4599.  
  4600.  
  4601.  
  4602. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Or, if there&amp;#8217;s a different formula of a shade I know I like, I may want to have both!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4603.  
  4604.  
  4605.  
  4606. &lt;p&gt;While actual dupes came far and between, they revealed a few they stumbled across.&lt;/p&gt;
  4607.  
  4608.

  4626.  
  4627.  
  4628.  
  4629. &lt;p&gt;After trying the $34 Nars Sex Appeal blush, they found that the $5 Essence The Blush in the shade Blooming is an exact dupe in both color and formulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  4630.  
  4631.  
  4632.  
  4633. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I didn&amp;#8217;t know this and owned the Nars first, so I gave the Essence to a friend,&amp;#8221; they said. &lt;/p&gt;
  4634.  
  4635.  
  4636.  
  4637. &lt;p&gt;Two YSL dupes also saved them money, with one even outperforming the more expensive $45 version.&lt;/p&gt;
  4638.  
  4639.  
  4640.  
  4641. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;L&amp;#8217;Oreal Rouge Signature is a formula dupe for YSL Tatouage Couture,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4642.  
  4643.  
  4644.  
  4645. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I prefer the L&amp;#8217;Oreal for [its] range of shades and packaging.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4660. &lt;/div&gt;
  4661. &lt;/div&gt;
  4662.  
  4663.  
  4664.  
  4665. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;L&amp;#8217;Oreal Brilliant Signature is a very close dupe to [the] YSL Water Stain. It&amp;#8217;s just slightly thicker,&amp;#8221; they added.&lt;/p&gt;
  4666.  
  4667.  
  4668.  
  4669. &lt;p&gt;Another makeup fan chimed in to explain why the two L&amp;#8217;Oreal products have a similar formulation to YSL&amp;#8217;s lippies.&lt;/p&gt;
  4670.  
  4671.  
  4672.  
  4673. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;YSL and L&amp;#8217;Oreal are under the same company, so that’s cool to know that these two ranges are really close to their counterparts!&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4674.  
  4675.  
  4676.  
  4677. &lt;p&gt;One budget beauty fan seconded Cloverbeam&amp;#8217;s drugstore recommendations.&lt;/p&gt;
  4678.  
  4679.  
  4680.  
  4681. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Can confirm [the] Essence blush is hella pigmented,&amp;#8221; they said. &lt;/p&gt;
  4682.  
  4683.  
  4684.  
  4685. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;[It has] more pigment than my Mac Baked blush, although the Mac is good if I’m trying to add a more subtle hue.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4686.  
  4687.  
  4688.  
  4689. &lt;p&gt;Someone else agreed that the L&amp;#8217;Oreal  dupes are close to the real deal, but they had an issue with the drugstore version.&lt;/p&gt;
  4690.  
  4691.  
  4692.  
  4693. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes to the Brilliant Signature/Water Stain thing, but I&amp;#8217;m bummed out that something in the L&amp;#8217;Oreal one makes my lips dry out so much more than the water stain,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4694.  
  4695.  
  4696.

  4747. &lt;p&gt;Now, the pair have hit back to insist they are &amp;#8220;really good friends&amp;#8221; and that they are both &amp;#8220;happy and happy for one another&amp;#8221; despite being in &amp;#8220;new relationships&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4748.  
  4749.  
  4750.  
  4751. &lt;p&gt;He went on to further insist that the couple and their new partners all &amp;#8220;get along well&amp;#8221; despite the frostiness on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  4752.  
  4753.  
  4754.  
  4755. &lt;p&gt;Uploading the statement, typed out on a black screen, to his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; page, TV hunk Gaz posted: &amp;#8220;We hate the fact we have to justify ourselves but when there&amp;#8217;s so much speculation on our lives that isn&amp;#8217;t true we have to.&lt;/p&gt;
  4756.  
  4757.  
  4758.  
  4759. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Me and Emma are better than we ever have been, we speak daily and are really good friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  4760.  
  4761.  
  4762.  
  4763. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our marriage broke down a long time before we publicly announced we were separating, and it&amp;#8217;s taken a lot to get where we are now but we are both happy and happy for each other.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4764.  
  4765.  
  4766.  
  4767. &lt;p&gt;Gaz had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24496694/geordie-shore-gaz-beadle-emma-mcvey-split/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;previously told his fans that he and Emma split &amp;#8220;three weeks ago&amp;#8221; &lt;/a&gt;when he revealed the break-up in October last year whilst in response to her moving on &amp;#8220;quickly&amp;#8221; from a fan last week, Emma insisted they had been broken-up for &amp;#8220;ten months.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4768.  
  4769.  
  4770.  
  4771. &lt;p&gt;The ever-sliding timeline places Gaz and Emma&amp;#8217;s split any time between early July and late September of last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  4772.  
  4773.  
  4774.  
  4775. &lt;p&gt;The 36-year-old continued: &amp;#8220;Our main focus through it all has been the kids, and we&amp;#8217;ve done everything to make sure their lives stay settled and happy.&lt;/p&gt;

  4806. &lt;p&gt;Gaz and Emma&amp;#8217;s choice to unite for their joint statement comes as a surprise given she appeared to take a cryptic swipe at him just one day ago.&lt;/p&gt;

  4830. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone.&lt;/p&gt;
  4831.  
  4832.  
  4833.  
  4834. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And then, without you even realising it these pieces come back.&lt;/p&gt;
  4835.  
  4836.  
  4837.  
  4838. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you is staring back in the mirror.&lt;/p&gt;
  4839.  
  4840.  
  4841.  
  4842. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No matter how bad it gets, better days are always waiting, hoping you&amp;#8217;ll make it there to accept the smiles and joy they&amp;#8217;re offering.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4843.  
  4844.

  4846. &lt;p&gt;Emma &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27982757/gaz-beadle-ex-emma-mcvey-public-new-boyfriend/&quot;&gt;went public with her new man&lt;/a&gt; two days ago by sharing a loved-up &lt;span id=&quot;64b8bd67-f589-47c7-a575-d70e0e30a6ac&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;snap&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8211; after The Sun reported how&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27583193/geordie-shore-gaz-beadle-dating-englands-golfer-charley-hull/&quot;&gt; Gaz is dating England’s top woman golfer Charley Hull&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4847.  
  4848.  
  4849.  
  4850. &lt;p&gt;Charley and Gaz were spotted together in April at Dunstanburgh Castle&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/golf/page/122/&quot;&gt;Golf&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Club in Alnwick,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/northumberland/&quot;&gt;Northumberland&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4851.  
  4852.  
  4853.  
  4854. &lt;p&gt;At the time, a source told us: “Gaz has made no secret of his love of golf and seems to have found his perfect match in Charley.&lt;/p&gt;
  4855.  
  4856.  
  4857.  
  4858. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She is at the top of her game and Gaz is enjoying getting on the course with her to pick up new skills.”&lt;/p&gt;

  4884.  
  4885. &lt;p&gt;Fabrizio Romano has said they like what they see with Juventus defender Gelson Bremer and Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise &amp;#8211; but the pair would cost around £60million each.&lt;/p&gt;

  4892.  
  4893. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, Bayern Munich and Ajax are reportedly still keen on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/erik-ten-hag/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Erik ten Hag&lt;/a&gt; as they believe he will be sacked at the end of the season.&lt;/p&gt;

  4916. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MOLLY-Mae Hague today reunited with Tommy Fury as she put split rumours to bed with a loved up snap.&lt;/p&gt;
  4917.  
  4918.  
  4919.  
  4920. &lt;p&gt;The 24-year-old Influencer and her man &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tommy-fury/&quot;&gt;Tommy&lt;/a&gt;, 25, met on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv2/&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;b34784f3-7411-4657-91b4-bf52c0e21351&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/span&gt; show &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  4921.  
  4922.  
  4923.  
  4924. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032606&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/c559d0be-18f0-4c7e-839d-e70adad5929d.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032606&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Molly-Mae Hague appeared to squash split rumours surrounding her and Tommy&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  4925.  
  4926.  
  4927.  
  4928. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032605&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 476px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/TOMMY.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=466&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032605&quot; width=&quot;466&quot; height=&quot;732&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The Influencer posted this snap of her hunky man[/caption]
  4929.  
  4930.  
  4931.  
  4932. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28007920&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 778px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/tommy-fury-reveals-huge-new-886470849_5304e2.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28007920&quot; width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Molly and Tommy have been together five years[/caption]
  4933.  
  4934.  
  4935.  
  4936. &lt;p&gt;The couple &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/23150262/molly-mae-hague-engaged-tommy-fury/&quot;&gt;announced their engagement in July 2023&lt;/a&gt; and have also welcomed a daughter, Bambi, into the family.&lt;/p&gt;
  4937.  
  4938.  
  4939.  
  4940. &lt;p&gt;However, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27979961/molly-mae-hague-engagement-ring-tommy-fury-split/&quot;&gt;they have faced split rumours in recent weeks&lt;/a&gt; after fans spotted Molly on several occasions without her £600,000 engagement ring.&lt;/p&gt;
  4941.  
  4942.  
  4943.  
  4944. &lt;p&gt;But keen to squash those rumours, Molly posted a sweet snap of Tommy to show she was back home after her girls trip to Ibiza.&lt;/p&gt;
  4945.  
  4946.  
  4947.  
  4948. &lt;p&gt;In the photo her hunky man can be see showing off his muscles in a vest, ans she has a heart and a house emoji posted on it.&lt;/p&gt;
  4949.  
  4950.  
  4951.  
  4952. &lt;p&gt;It comes as Molly and Tommy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27919895/molly-mae-tommy-fury-fuel-split-rumours/&quot;&gt;previously fuelled split rumours &lt;/a&gt;when Tommy jetted off to Dubai to support his older brother before jis recent big fight.&lt;/p&gt;
  4953.  
  4954.  
  4955.  
  4956. &lt;p&gt;They reportedly had rowed last year after Tommy&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/24855439/tommy-fury-parties-with-chris-brown-in-dubai/&quot;&gt; was pictured partying with topless women&lt;/a&gt; in Abu Dhabi.&lt;/p&gt;
  4957.  
  4958.  
  4959.  
  4960. &lt;p&gt;Molly later admitted at the time to fans &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/24995180/molly-mae-hague-tears-ring-emotional-video/&quot;&gt;she had been &amp;#8220;going through it&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;during one of her&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youtube/&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;vlogs.&lt;/p&gt;
  4961.  
  4962.  
  4963.  
  4964. &lt;p&gt;She began: &amp;#8220;Guys I don&amp;#8217;t really know what to come on here and tell you right now. I know how bad I look. Trust me, however bad I look, I feel 20 times worse.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4965.

  5048. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;WHEN Jurgen Klopp announced his Liverpool departure plan back in January, Roberto De Zerbi was installed as second favourite to succeed him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5049.  
  5050.  
  5051.  
  5052. &lt;p&gt;When the favourite, Xabi Alonso, announced in late March he would be staying at all-conquering Bayer Leverkusen, De Zerbi’s Brighton were the next visitors to Anfield.&lt;/p&gt;
  5053.  
  5054.  
  5055.  
  5056. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032817&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/2024/05/2024-roberto-de-zerbi-manager-903206984.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032817&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;634&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Robert De Zerbi is building a bad reputation for being a high-maintenance manager[/caption]
  5057.  
  5058.  
  5059.  
  5060. &lt;p&gt;And the match was billed as the Italian’s audition for the&amp;nbsp;job.&lt;/p&gt;
  5061.  
  5062.  
  5063.  
  5064. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/roberto-de-zerbi/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;De Zerbi&lt;/a&gt; was also strongly touted as a successor to Erik ten Hag at Manchester United and Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich.&lt;/p&gt;
  5065.  
  5066.  
  5067.  
  5068. &lt;p&gt;And given that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; nab everybody else from Brighton, he was also seen as a major contender to take over at Stamford Bridge if Mauricio Pochettino departed.&lt;/p&gt;
  5069.  
  5070.  
  5071.  
  5072. &lt;p&gt;This high-octane, nicotine-fuelled, touchline frog-box was Europe’s most-wanted coach.&lt;/p&gt;
  5073.  
  5074.  
  5075.  
  5076. &lt;p&gt;He guided &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3571589/brighton-hove-albion/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brighton&lt;/a&gt; into Europe for the first time, his team was hugely entertaining — combining Kloppish manic intensity with a Pep Guardiola purity — and everybody seemed to want a slice of him.&lt;/p&gt;
  5077.  
  5078.  
  5079.  
  5080. &lt;p&gt;De Zerbi certainly wasn’t shy in recognising as much.&lt;/p&gt;
  5081.  
  5082.  
  5083.  
  5084. &lt;p&gt;Hence his tendency to gob off about his frustrations with frequent public hints that Brighton, the most widely-admired and pound-for-pound best-run club in England, were not run to his liking.&lt;/p&gt;
  5085.  
  5086.  
  5087.  
  5088. &lt;p&gt;Fast forward a few months and the Italian is unemployed, with no job offers on the table and looking increasingly unlikely to get a step up to United, Bayern or Chelsea this summer&amp;nbsp;while Liverpool have &amp;nbsp; plumped for Dutchman &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28028058/liverpool-arne-slot-start-manager-jurgen-klopp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arne Slot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5089.  
  5090.  
  5091.  
  5092. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/20574123/best-football-betting-sites-odds/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKER&lt;/strong&gt;S&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5093.  
  5094.  
  5095.  
  5096. &lt;p&gt;Last week’s decision from De Zerbi, 44, and Seagulls owner Tony Bloom to part ways was a rare example of ‘mutual agreement’ meaning mutual agreement.&lt;/p&gt;
  5097.  
  5098.  
  5099.  
  5100. &lt;p&gt;Brighton have somehow contrived to finish in the bottom half&amp;nbsp;of the Premier League — below their hated rivals &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196666/crystal-palace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

  5120.  
  5121.  
  5122.  
  5123. &lt;p&gt;That might be largely down to a substantial injury crisis but Bloom’s main concern was his manager’s agitations about the club’s recruitment policy.&lt;/p&gt;
  5124.  
  5125.  
  5126.  
  5127. &lt;p&gt;The most remarkably profitable recruitment policy the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; has ever known.&lt;/p&gt;
  5128.  
  5129.  
  5130.  
  5131. &lt;p&gt;When Brighton went off-piste&amp;nbsp;and signed Mahmoud Dahoud on a big-wage free from Borussia Dortmund last June, on De Zerbi’s insistence, the midfielder bombed and was loaned back to the Bundesliga with Stuttgart.&lt;/p&gt;
  5132.  
  5133.  
  5134.  
  5135. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tony-bloom/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bloom&lt;/a&gt; knows what he is doing. His club’s ability to conjure up outstanding young talent for next to nothing, to sell on for a major fee and then replace like-for-like, borders on witchcraft.&lt;/p&gt;
  5136.  
  5137.  
  5138.  
  5139. &lt;p&gt;One of the latest to roll off the production line, Irish centre-forward Mark O’Mahony, looks so similar to Brighton’s first-choice Irish centre-forward Evan Ferguson,&amp;nbsp;you wonder whether Bloom has some futuristic cloning facility in a bunker beneath the Amex.&lt;/p&gt;
  5140.  
  5141.  
  5142.  
  5143. &lt;p&gt;Yet an impatient De Zerbi doesn’t want to work within Brighton’s structure and has&amp;nbsp;earned himself the unwelcome reputation of being a high-maintenance manager.&lt;/p&gt;
  5144.  
  5145.  
  5146.  
  5147. &lt;p&gt;Despite his progressive tactics, he is old-school in his desire for autonomy in an age in which owners demand managers — or ‘head coaches’ — know their place within a club’s ‘model’.&lt;/p&gt;
  5148.  
  5149.  
  5150.  
  5151. &lt;p&gt;A generation ago, when those big-personality alpha-male managers were the norm, De Zerbi would have been in an A-list job already. &lt;/p&gt;
  5152.  
  5153.  
  5154.  
  5155. &lt;p&gt;As it stands, it is unlikely that we will see him starting next&amp;nbsp;season in the Premier League.&lt;/p&gt;
  5156.  
  5157.  
  5158.  
  5159. &lt;p&gt;For example, it’s difficult to imagine &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Jim Ratcliffe&lt;/a&gt; and Sir Dave Brailsford opting for such an abrasive personality to take charge of United should Ten Hag, as expected, get the bullet after&amp;nbsp;Saturday’s FA Cup final.&lt;/p&gt;
  5160.  
  5161.  
  5162.  
  5163. &lt;p&gt;This is a shame for De Zerbi and for the many of us who have enjoyed watching his progress.&lt;/p&gt;
  5164.  
  5165.  
  5166.  
  5167. &lt;p&gt;While Brighton were never a great long-term fit, let’s hope he is back before long.&lt;/p&gt;
  5168.  
  5169.  
  5170.  
  5171. &lt;p&gt;The Italian is innovative, infectious and absolute box-office gold.&lt;/p&gt;
  5172.  
  5173.  
  5174.  
  5175. &lt;p&gt;Somebody needs to have the balls to appoint a manager who will challenge them, rather than one who will keep his trap shut and do as he is told.&lt;/p&gt;
  5176.

  5180.  
  5181.  
  5182.  
  5183. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ROCKY RODE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5184.  
  5185.  
  5186.  
  5187. &lt;p&gt;AT last week’s Footballer of the Year dinner, Gareth Southgate claimed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/phil-foden/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Phil Foden&lt;/a&gt;’s stellar campaign &amp;#8220;has made my job a lot easier&amp;#8221; — but the opposite may be true.&lt;/p&gt;
  5188.  
  5189.  
  5190.  
  5191. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this season, before Foden’s leap into world-class status, the England manager questioned the player’s stated desire to start matches in the centre, rather than out wide.&lt;/p&gt;
  5192.  
  5193.  
  5194.  
  5195. &lt;p&gt;Now there will be a clamour for Foden to play more centrally at the Euros — and yet with&amp;nbsp;Real Madrid Galactico &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jude-bellingham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jude Bellingham&lt;/a&gt; as England’s No 10, that is going to be tough.&lt;/p&gt;
  5196.  
  5197.  
  5198.  
  5199. &lt;p&gt;You can hear them now, the age-old cries for Southgate to release handbrakes, throw off shackles and demand that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; play like the 1982 Brazil World Cup side (who didn’t make the semi-finals).&lt;/p&gt;
  5200.  
  5201.  
  5202.  
  5203. &lt;p&gt;Could Southgate possibly employ Declan Rice as a single holding midfielder with Foden and Bellingham in front of him, plus two wingers and Harry Kane up top? It is highly unlikely.&lt;/p&gt;
  5204.  
  5205.  
  5206.  
  5207. &lt;p&gt;And even if he does, everybody will be asking why Jack Grealish and James Maddison aren’t starting as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  5208.  
  5209.  
  5210.  
  5211. &lt;p&gt;Instead, we may end up with Foden being shoved wide-left, just as Paul Scholes was by Sven-Goran Eriksson.&lt;/p&gt;
  5212.  
  5213.  
  5214.  
  5215. &lt;p&gt;That is because there is nowhere else to fit the player who secured &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester City&lt;/a&gt; the title with two early goals against West Ham on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
  5216.  
  5217.  
  5218.  
  5219. &lt;p&gt;The idea of a month debating ‘boring, boring Southgate’ is boring before it has even begun.&lt;/p&gt;
  5220.  
  5221.  
  5222.  
  5223. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032912&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/2024/05/england-coach-gareth-southgate-shouts-889162485_cfd365.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032912&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;AP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Gareth Southgate faces a selection dilemma due to England&amp;#8217;s midfield talent[/caption]
  5224.  
  5225.  
  5226.  
  5227. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OLIVER TWIST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5228.  
  5229.  
  5230.  
  5231. &lt;p&gt;IT was bleakly amusing that Wolves should have &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28007548/wolves-liverpool-nelson-semedo-red-card-var/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nelson Semedo sent off by VAR&lt;/a&gt; at Anfield in the first match since their admirable bid to have the widely-loathed system scrapped in the Premier League.&lt;/p&gt;
  5232.  
  5233.  
  5234.  
  5235. &lt;p&gt;More interesting was Michael Oliver’s decision to ignore his VAR Stuart Attwell and award Arsenal’s late winner against Everton, despite a handball by Gabriel Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;
  5236.  
  5237.  
  5238.  
  5239. &lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/var/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;VAR&lt;/a&gt; is only supposed to be there for ‘clear and obvious’ errors, I made Oliver right.&lt;/p&gt;
  5240.  
  5241.  
  5242.  
  5243. &lt;p&gt;But here is another problem with the system — senior refs such as Oliver are occasionally emboldened enough to overrule a more junior VAR and stick with their original decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  5244.  
  5245.  
  5246.  
  5247. &lt;p&gt;Less-experienced refs literally never ignore a more senior man in Stockley Park. &lt;/p&gt;
  5248.  
  5249.  
  5250.  
  5251. &lt;p&gt;And this inconsistency is yet another of the ‘unintended consequences’ of VAR which &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1226009/wolverhampton-wanderers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wolves&lt;/a&gt; have spoken about.&lt;/p&gt;
  5252.  
  5253.  
  5254.  
  5255. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032920&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 630px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/image_5bb6cc.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=620&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032920&quot; width=&quot;620&quot; height=&quot;348&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Sky Sports &lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Nelson Semedo was sent off for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister[/caption]
  5256.  
  5257.  
  5258.  
  5259. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHAMPS IN WAITING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5260.  
  5261.  
  5262.  
  5263. &lt;p&gt;AS we prepare for the next transfer window, one pertinent question is why so few top-flight clubs sign players from the Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  5264.  
  5265.  
  5266.  
  5267. &lt;p&gt;Take last season’s two leading scorers in &amp;nbsp;the second division — &amp;nbsp;Chuba Akpom moved from Middlesbrough to Ajax and Coventry’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/viktor-gyokeres/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Viktor Gyokeres&lt;/a&gt; went to Sporting Lisbon, where he&amp;nbsp;is now rated at £80million after topping the Portuguese scoring charts with an impressive 29 strikes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5268.  
  5269.  
  5270.  
  5271. &lt;p&gt;Two of the best signings of this year’s January sales bucked this trend, with Aston Villa snapping up Boro’s promising midfielder Morgan Rogers, while Crystal Palace’s swoop for young Blackburn star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27978428/adam-wharton-crystal-palace-london-life-blackburn-england/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Adam Wharton&lt;/a&gt; is proving a masterstroke.&lt;/p&gt;
  5272.  
  5273.  
  5274.  
  5275. &lt;p&gt;Premier League clubs scour the world for talent, yet too often ignore some gems sitting right beneath their noses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5276.  
  5277.  
  5278.  
  5279. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032940&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/2024/05/viktor-gyokeres-sporting-cp-celebrates-902674646.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032940&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;668&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A Prem side would have been wise to sign Viktor Gyokeres[/caption]
  5280.  
  5281.  
  5282.  
  5283. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOOD FOR THOUGHT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5284.  
  5285.  
  5286.  
  5287. &lt;p&gt; THE world of boxing is full of sharks, chancers and Saudi apologists — but it is also home to some diamonds.&lt;/p&gt;
  5288.  
  5289.  
  5290.  
  5291. &lt;p&gt;At 3.30am on Sunday by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28031020/horror-new-footage-tyson-fury-oleksandr-usyk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena&lt;/a&gt;, there was Brit heavyweight Derek Chisora distributing a large bag of free Five Guys hamburgers to hungry,  late-working hacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  5292.  
  5293.  
  5294.

  5296.

  5298.  
  5299. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CUP FOR IT?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5300.  
  5301.  
  5302.  
  5303. &lt;p&gt; FIRST solid prediction for next season: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196669/newcastle-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Newcastle&lt;/a&gt; will lift their first major trophy since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup by winning the Europa Conference League.&lt;/p&gt;
  5304.  
  5305.  
  5306.  
  5307. &lt;p&gt;Then we can all debate whether this actually is a major trophy and talk of their 70-year wait for domestic silverware instead.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  5326. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FED up of all the drizzle and too many dull days among the welcome sunny ones?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5327.  
  5328.  
  5329.  
  5330. &lt;p&gt;If you are looking for an escape where the weather is guaranteed to be glorious, we have done our research and picked out some of the driest destinations in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/europe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5343.  
  5344.  
  5345.  
  5346. &lt;p&gt;MALTA’S capital is one of the driest cities to visit in June with just one day of rain on average throughout the month.&lt;/p&gt;
  5347.  
  5348.  
  5349.  
  5350. &lt;p&gt;Better still, the entire island is littered with brilliant bays overlooking the bluest seas where you can soak up the heat.&lt;/p&gt;

  5356.

  5358. &lt;p&gt;Spend seven nights’ at the 4H Labranda Riviera Premium Resort &amp;amp; Spa sat right on Marfa Bay, a 45-minute drive from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/26405775/malta-valletta-city-break-hottest-temperature-europe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Valletta&lt;/a&gt;, with spectacular views over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/21920949/malta-holiday-travel-republic-beaches-culture/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the islands of Gozo and Comino&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5359.  
  5360.  
  5361.  
  5362. &lt;p&gt;This is the place to go for some rest and recuperation thanks to its award-winning spa which features a saltwater pool, cold therapy room and treatments such as Turkish hammam rituals and therapeutic massages.&lt;/p&gt;
  5363.  
  5364.  
  5365.

  5379.  
  5380.  
  5381.  
  5382. &lt;p&gt;With pretty pebbled shores, the old town’s baroque buildings and beach-side bars serving chilled wine, it is no wonder this region attracts a chic celebrity crowd — especially with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cannes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cannes&lt;/a&gt; just up the road.&lt;/p&gt;

  5417. &lt;p&gt;The standout of this chic hotel is its brilliant location, at the edge of the charming old town, close to the 17th century cathedral and just a stone’s (or pebble’s) throw from the beach.&lt;/p&gt;
  5418.  
  5419.

  5430.  
  5431.  
  5432.  
  5433. &lt;p&gt;It only rains three days in the month of June on average, which means you can take advantage of all those alfresco rooftops, sipping the local tipple, ginjinha — a morello cherry liqueur.&lt;/p&gt;

  5505. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MONTY Don couldn&amp;#8217;t help but leave fans scratching their heads after he popped on a baggy suit for a special TV appearance. &lt;/p&gt;
  5506.  
  5507.  
  5508.  
  5509. &lt;p&gt;The green-fingered star scrubbed up to host BBC2&amp;#8217;s RHS &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/chelsea-flower-show/&quot;&gt;Chelsea Flower Show&lt;/a&gt; round-up programme, but viewers were unsure of his outfit. &lt;/p&gt;
  5510.  
  5511.  
  5512.  
  5513. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032794&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 891px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/75445cae-dec3-413b-9e67-c8481b222888.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=881&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032794&quot; width=&quot;881&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Monty Don has worn a suit for the BBC&amp;#8217;s coverage of RHS Chelsea Flower Show&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5514.  
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032756&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/monty-don-attends-stroke-associations-903188325.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032756&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;But fans couldn&amp;#8217;t help but remark on his suit&amp;#8217;s bad fit[/caption]
  5518.  
  5519.  
  5520.  
  5521. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25516545/monty-don-net-worth/&quot;&gt;Monty,&lt;/a&gt; 68, ditched the scruffy trousers, open-necked shirt and braces he is known to wear on Gardeners&amp;#8217; World for a navy suit and tie. &lt;/p&gt;
  5522.  
  5523.  
  5524.  
  5525. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, however, it looked far too big. &lt;/p&gt;
  5526.  
  5527.  
  5528.  
  5529. &lt;p&gt;Fans were tickled by his getup and they found themselves comparing Monty to a &amp;#8220;bus conductor&amp;#8221;. Some even wondered if it was secondhand. &lt;/p&gt;
  5530.  
  5531.  
  5532.  
  5533. &lt;p&gt;Taking to X, formerly known as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter-2/&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, one fan said: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/monty-don/&quot;&gt;Monty Don&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s turned up dressed as a bus conductor.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5534.  
  5535.  
  5536.  
  5537. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Nice to see Monty Don supporting the local bring and buy sales with his choice of jacket!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5538.  
  5539.  
  5540.  
  5541. &lt;p&gt;A third wrote: &amp;#8220;Oh sweet Monty Don is lovely, but he does not scrub up well. That Chelsea jacket is really bad.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5542.  
  5543.  
  5544.  
  5545. &lt;p&gt;And a fourth even mused: &amp;#8220;Monty Don&amp;#8217;s suit is quite literally all over him like a bad suit.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5546.  
  5547.  
  5548.  
  5549. &lt;p&gt;Monty is well-loved by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gardeners-world/&quot;&gt;Gardeners&amp;#8217; World&lt;/a&gt; fans and famed for his horticultural knowledge and writing. &lt;/p&gt;
  5550.  
  5551.  
  5552.  
  5553. &lt;p&gt;He is also a big fan of dogs, with his pets regularly appearing on the BBC show. &lt;/p&gt;
  5554.  
  5555.  
  5556.  
  5557. &lt;p&gt;But sadly, Monty lost his pet mutt &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24480715/gardeners-world-star-monty-don-dog-dies-nell/&quot;&gt;Nell&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; aka Nellie &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24543429/gardenersworld-fans-sobbing-nell-tribute-after-death/&quot;&gt;to cancer in October last year&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5580. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27758960/monty-don-fans-rush-support-touching-tribute-nell/&quot;&gt;Monty shared a touching tribute to Nell &lt;/a&gt;while pottering around in his own garden. &lt;/p&gt;
  5581.  
  5582.  
  5583.  
  5584. &lt;p&gt;The star, who still has dogs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/23658822/gardeners-world-fans-complaint-monty-don/&quot;&gt;Ned &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22944060/gardeners-world-burning-question-monty-don-dogs/&quot;&gt;Patti&lt;/a&gt;, took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; to share a picture of a pot filled with gorgeous purple tulips.&lt;/p&gt;
  5585.  
  5586.  
  5587.  
  5588. &lt;p&gt;At the bottom of the clay vase was a small, black engraving which was in the shape of a Golden Retriever.&lt;/p&gt;
  5589.  
  5590.  
  5591.  
  5592. &lt;p&gt;Sharing the memorial snap, Monty also ensured fans could spot the name &amp;#8216;Nell&amp;#8217; alongside it. &lt;/p&gt;
  5593.  
  5594.  
  5595.  
  5596. &lt;p&gt;Monty commented on his post: &amp;#8220;The Nell pot (trickier to read, but it&amp;#8217;s there).&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5597.  
  5598.  
  5599.  
  5600. &lt;p&gt;More than 21,000 of his followers liked the post, while hundreds more rushed to send their condolences to Monty. &lt;/p&gt;
  5601.  
  5602.  
  5603.  
  5604. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  5607. &lt;/div&gt;
  5608. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  5609. &lt;div&gt;
  5610. &lt;p&gt;Monty met his&amp;nbsp;wife Sarah&amp;nbsp;while studying at university and they married on July 29, 1983.&lt;/p&gt;
  5611. &lt;p&gt;The pair ran their own couture costume &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jewellery/&quot;&gt;jewellery&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; from the early 80s to 1987.&lt;/p&gt;
  5612. &lt;p&gt;Their pieces were sold in 30 countries worlwide, featured in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/vogue/&quot;&gt;Vogue&lt;/a&gt;, and boasted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity/&quot;&gt;celebrity&lt;/a&gt; fans including the now late &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/princess-diana/&quot;&gt;Princess Diana&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/michael-jackson/&quot;&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5613. &lt;p&gt;The brand &amp;#8211; Monty Don Jewellery &amp;#8211; was stocked in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/harrods/&quot;&gt;Harrods&lt;/a&gt; and Harvey Nichols, and the couple went on to open their own store in London&amp;#8217;s exclusive Knightsbridge.&lt;/p&gt;
  5614. &lt;p&gt;Monty previously told the Independent that Sarah was “75 per cent of the designing brains” while he was the salesman.&lt;/p&gt;
  5615. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, the couple&amp;#8217;s business went under in 1987 following the Wall Street Crash and they faced bankruptcy.&lt;/p&gt;
  5616. &lt;p&gt;However, since then, Sarah has switched her attention to writing and is an author. &lt;/p&gt;
  5617. &lt;p&gt;Monty, meanwhile, has forged his own successful career as a horticultural  expert, writer and TV presenter.&lt;/p&gt;
  5618. &lt;/div&gt;
  5619. &lt;/div&gt;
  5620. &lt;/div&gt;
  5621.  
  5622.  
  5623.  
  5624. &lt;p&gt;One fan wrote: &amp;#8220;What a sweet tribute. Beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl. &lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f49c.png&quot; alt=&quot;💜&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5625.  
  5626.  
  5627.  
  5628. &lt;p&gt;While another added: &amp;#8220;Perfect memorial to a memorable Nell &lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2764.png&quot; alt=&quot;❤&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5700. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;PRO WRESTLING star John &amp;#8216;Bad Bones&amp;#8217; Klinger has died at the age of 40 leaving the sport in mourning.&lt;/p&gt;
  5701.  
  5702.  
  5703.  
  5704. &lt;p&gt;The German made a name for himself wrestling around the world for various independent promotions ranging from the United States to Europe and Japan since 2004.&lt;/p&gt;
  5705.  
  5706.  
  5707.  
  5708. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032895&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/m29jh5-bad-bones-john-klinger-903295193.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032895&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;John &amp;#8216;Bad Bones&amp;#8217; Klinger has suddenly died at the age of 40&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5709.  
  5710.  
  5711.  
  5712. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28033129&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/2024/05/ilja-dragunov-fights-john-bad-903294683.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28033129&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;648&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Bad Bones made a name for himself wrestling around the world&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5713.  
  5714.  
  5715.  
  5716. &lt;p&gt;Klinger underwent three different stints with TNA in 2011, 2014 and 2017 and shared the ring with the likes of Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe.&lt;/p&gt;
  5717.  
  5718.  
  5719.  
  5720. &lt;p&gt;His death was announced on &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Twitter (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://x.com/wXwGermany/status/1792650615165788195&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; by wrestling promotion wXw, which is based in his homeland and revealed he was planning to retire soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  5721.  
  5722.  
  5723.  
  5724. &lt;p&gt;The announcement read: &amp;#8220;We say goodbye to &amp;#8220;Bad Bones&amp;#8221; John Klinger. John Klinger was one of the defining wrestlers at wXw for over a decade. &lt;/p&gt;
  5725.  
  5726.  
  5727.  
  5728. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He won all of the major titles at wXw and won both 16 Carat Gold and Shortcut to the Top. In his almost 450 matches in the wXw ring, he always worked hard and did his best to excite his fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  5729.  
  5730.  
  5731.  
  5732. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;At just 40 years old, John died far too early, shortly before his planned retirement. We wish his family and friends strength in this difficult time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5733.  
  5734.  
  5735.  
  5736. &lt;p&gt;Bad Bones&amp;#8217; last match took place only nine days ago as he beat ex-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/wwe/&quot;&gt;WWE&lt;/a&gt; superstar Flash Morgan Webster at PWT’s Total Blast From The Past event.&lt;/p&gt;
  5737.  
  5738.  
  5739.  
  5740. &lt;p&gt;Webster echoed Klinger&amp;#8217;s retirement plans as the Welsh wrestler revealed he told him he wanted to hang up his boots by September.&lt;/p&gt;
  5741.  
  5742.  
  5743.  
  5744. &lt;p&gt;The ex-NXT UK star tweeted: &amp;#8220;I only wrestled him 9 days ago. &lt;/p&gt;
  5745.  
  5746.  
  5747.  
  5748. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Was talking to him in Poland after the match about how he was gonna retire in September and was happy with what he’d achieved and was happy to step away on his own terms. Life can be so cruel. Rest in peace John.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5749.  
  5750.  
  5751.  
  5752. &lt;p&gt;A number of other wrestlers took to social media to pay tribute to the popular athlete.&lt;/p&gt;
  5753.  
  5754.  
  5755.  
  5756. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  5758. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Who was John Klinger?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5759. &lt;/div&gt;
  5760. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  5761. &lt;div&gt;
  5762. &lt;p&gt;John Klinger, better known as &amp;#8216;Bad Bones&amp;#8217; was born in Bitburg, West Germany in 1984.&lt;/p&gt;
  5763. &lt;p&gt;He debuted on the Independent Circuit in 2004, where he would win titles such as the wXw Unified World Heavyweight Championship and European Heavyweight Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  5764. &lt;p&gt;In 2011, he won TNA tryout programme TNA Gut Check, which would give him his big break in professional wrestling.&lt;/p&gt;
  5765. &lt;p&gt;This would lead to him working in several matches for the company, including a dark match with Christopher Daniels in February 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
  5766. &lt;p&gt;He would also team with Samoa Joe to beat Daniels and Robbie E.&lt;/p&gt;
  5767. &lt;p&gt;Klinger fought for the last time in TNA in a defeat to debutant Josh Barnett in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  5768. &lt;p&gt;He passed away in Bremen, Germany six days after his 40th birthday.&lt;/p&gt;
  5769. &lt;/div&gt;
  5770. &lt;/div&gt;
  5771. &lt;/div&gt;
  5772.  
  5773.  
  5774.  
  5775. &lt;p&gt;WWE leading commentator Corey Graves reminisced on their time wrestling together in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
  5776.  
  5777.  
  5778.  
  5779. &lt;p&gt;Graves posted: &amp;#8220;Man, I just heard the news about John “Bad Bones” Klinger. What a gem of a human. &lt;/p&gt;
  5780.  
  5781.  
  5782.  
  5783. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had so much fun wrestling/traveling with John back in our NWE days in Europe. My condolences to all of his friends and family. Rest well, my friend.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5784.  
  5785.  
  5786.  
  5787. &lt;p&gt;TNA legend Daniels wrote: &amp;#8220;Rest in Peace “Bad Bones” John Klinger. I’m glad we got the chance to share the ring, good sir. My sincere condolences to his family.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5788.  
  5789.  
  5790.  
  5791. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/all-elite-wrestling/&quot;&gt;AEW&lt;/a&gt; superstar Will Ospreay said: &amp;#8220;RIP “Bad Bones” John Klinger Always a pleasure.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5792.  
  5793.  
  5794.

  5810. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;RISHI Sunak will give the National Crime Agency an extra £25million to catch migrant smugglers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5811.  
  5812.  
  5813.  
  5814. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rishi-sunak/&quot;&gt;The PM&lt;/a&gt; will pledge the funding today on a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/27995079/rishi-sunak-flies-vienna-rwanda-scheme-labour-security-risk/&quot;&gt;visit to Vienna&lt;/a&gt; where he will also agree a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24776245/rishi-sunak-secret-pact-eu-migrants-rwanda/&quot;&gt;migration pact &lt;/a&gt;with his Austrian counterpart.&lt;/p&gt;
  5815.  
  5816.  
  5817.  
  5818. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031878&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/2024/05/2024-promised-begin-deporting-asylum-896074350.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031878&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;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Rishi Sunak will give the National Crime Agency an extra £25million to catch migrant smugglers[/caption]
  5819.  
  5820.  
  5821.  
  5822. &lt;p&gt;In a boost for his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/27912050/eu-countries-want-rwanda-migration-plan/#:~:text=A%20DRIVE%20by%20European%20Union,the%20flow%20of%20illegal%20arrivals.&quot;&gt;Rwanda plan&lt;/a&gt;, Mr Sunak and Chancellor Karl Nehammer will stress the importance of using third countries to halt the flow of people.&lt;/p&gt;
  5823.  
  5824.  
  5825.  
  5826. &lt;p&gt;The NCA funding will help to supply operatives with new kit to disrupt &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27432463/vietnamese-small-boat-migrants-cannabis-prostitution/&quot;&gt;crime gangs organising the illegal Channel crossings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5827.  
  5828.  
  5829.  
  5830. &lt;p&gt;It will also boost intelligence gathering to provide leads from multiple data sources.&lt;/p&gt;
  5831.  
  5832.  
  5833.  
  5834. &lt;p&gt;And the cash will blunt &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; claims that ministers are not doing enough to stop the gangs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5835.  
  5836.  
  5837.  
  5838. &lt;p&gt;Last week, Austria joined 14 other EU nations in hailing the potential of third country processing to deter illegal migrants.&lt;/p&gt;
  5839.  
  5840.  
  5841.  
  5842. &lt;p&gt;Mr Sunak said yesterday: “We are leading the charge with partners across the continent to meet the challenges caused by intolerable levels of illegal migration.&lt;/p&gt;
  5843.  
  5844.  
  5845.  
  5846. &lt;p&gt;“Just last week,&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/27912050/eu-countries-want-rwanda-migration-plan/&quot;&gt; 15 EU countries called for new solutions&lt;/a&gt; to address this growing issue. &lt;/p&gt;
  5847.  
  5848.  
  5849.  
  5850. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our disruption of the cruel trade of criminal gangs, together with our Rwanda scheme, are part of a deterrent to stop illegal migration once and for all.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5851.  
  5852.  
  5853.  
  5854. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-cameron&quot;&gt;Foreign Secretary Lord ­Cameron&lt;/a&gt; will hold talks with Albanian officials as part of the Government’s diplomatic blitz.&lt;/p&gt;
  5855.  
  5856.  
  5857.  
  5858. &lt;p&gt;It comes with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-immigration-crisis/&quot;&gt;Channel crossings&lt;/a&gt; today expected to pass the 10,000 mark for the year&lt;/p&gt;

  5889. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GARETH SOUTHGATE has drawn up plans for Kieran Trippier to be his emergency left-back at Euro 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  5890.  
  5891.  
  5892.  
  5893. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; manager is set to name a &amp;#8220;training&amp;#8221; squad of more than 30 players for the tournament. &lt;/p&gt;

  5903.  
  5904.  
  5905. &lt;p&gt;He will reduce that to 26 on June 7 after the&amp;nbsp;friendly with Iceland at Wembley.&lt;/p&gt;
  5906.  
  5907.  
  5908.  
  5909. &lt;p&gt;Left-back is one of Southgate’s problem areas — and Newcastle right-back &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kieran-trippier/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Trippier&lt;/a&gt; may have to cover.&lt;/p&gt;

  6014.  
  6015.  
  6016.  
  6017. &lt;p&gt;After keeping her new man under wraps for half a year, Lydia has now decided to tag the gardener in her posts.&lt;/p&gt;
  6018.  
  6019.  
  6020.  
  6021. &lt;p&gt;The reality star was all smiles as she posed for a picture with Ben while having a bite to eat in Convent Garden, London. &lt;/p&gt;
  6022.  
  6023.  
  6024.

  6030.  
  6031.  
  6032.  
  6033. &lt;p&gt;The TV star captured sweet scenes showing the hunky landscape gardener carrying her four-year-old daughter Loreta on his shoulders during an evening stroll.&lt;/p&gt;
  6034.  
  6035.  
  6036.  
  6037. &lt;p&gt;She confessed: &amp;#8220;There are so many reason why I love you, but this is my number one.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6038.  
  6039.  
  6040.  
  6041. &lt;p&gt;Ben was quick to reply with a trio of red &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2734099/hearts/&quot;&gt;hearts&lt;/a&gt; and the words: &amp;#8220;Love you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6046.

  6076. &lt;p&gt;A source told them: &amp;#8220;Lydia couldn&amp;#8217;t keep her hands off Ben… and she certainly didn&amp;#8217;t seem to mind that her ex was just a few feet away.&lt;/p&gt;
  6077.  
  6078.  
  6079.  
  6080. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They were passionately kissing right in front of where James was performing with The Arg Band, which didn&amp;#8217;t go unnoticed by other guests at the event.&lt;/p&gt;
  6081.  
  6082.  
  6083.  
  6084. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Lydia and James have been close friends for years and are comfortable with the fact they have both moved on in life, although it can still be awkward to see your ex with someone new.&lt;/p&gt;
  6085.  
  6086.  
  6087.  
  6088. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s taken Lydia years to go public with a partner… it was clear from how affectionate they were together that their relationship is serious.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6089.  
  6090.  
  6091.  
  6092. &lt;p&gt;Lydia and Arg dated between 2002 and 2012, then again between 2015 and 2016.&lt;/p&gt;
  6093.  
  6094.  
  6095.

  6168. &lt;p&gt;United fans were left in awe after his wondergoal and stormed the comments&amp;#8217; section where they called for his inclusion in the first team within the next few years.&lt;/p&gt;

  6219. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;JACK CATTERALL finally gets his wish &amp;#8211; a massive grudge rematch against Josh Taylor two years after their hugely controversial first fight.&lt;/p&gt;
  6220.  
  6221.  
  6222.  
  6223. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/josh-taylor/&quot;&gt;Taylor&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-catterall/&quot;&gt;Catterall&lt;/a&gt; fought for the undisputed super-lightweight in February 2022, with the former retaining his titles. &lt;/p&gt;
  6224.  
  6225.  
  6226.  
  6227. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_26972991&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/NINTCHDBPICT000715367372.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-26972991&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;702&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Kenny Ramsay&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Josh Taylor beat Jack Catterall in their first fight but was largely outboxed throughout[/caption]
  6228.  
  6229.  
  6230.  
  6231. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17783058/jack-catterall-robbed-josh-taylor-result/#:~:text=And%20there%20were%20calls%20for,a%20hugely%20controversial%20split%20decision.&amp;amp;text=Taylor%2C%2031%2C%20had%20been%20knocked,t%20put%20it%20into%20words.&quot;&gt;The decision was a hugely controversial one&lt;/a&gt;, however, as pretty much every fan and pundit watching scored the fight for Catterall, who lost out on a split decision. &lt;/p&gt;
  6232.  
  6233.  
  6234.  
  6235. &lt;p&gt;The Englishman even knocked Taylor down halfway through the fight, and both men had a point deducted. &lt;/p&gt;
  6236.  
  6237.  
  6238.  
  6239. &lt;p&gt;Catterall stormed out of the ring after the decision, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17784778/taylor-catterall-scorecards-punch-stats/&quot;&gt;feeling robbed of his dream to win the undisputed titles&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6240.  
  6241.  
  6242.  
  6243. &lt;p&gt;But now he&amp;#8217;ll get his chance for revenge, albeit without the belts on the line, with Taylor having relinquished or lost them since the win over Catterall. &lt;/p&gt;
  6244.  
  6245.  
  6246.  
  6247. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;When is Taylor vs Catterall 2?&lt;/h2&gt;
  6248.  
  6249.  
  6250.  
  6251. &lt;ul&gt;
  6252. &lt;li&gt;Taylor&amp;#8217;s massive rematch with Catterall will take place on &lt;strong&gt;Saturday, May 25&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  6253.  
  6254.

  6338.  
  6339.  
  6340.  
  6341. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I need to put on a good performance, and essentially, I need to get the win. If he comes to fight like he says he is, absolutely fantastic.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6342.  
  6343.  
  6344.  
  6345. &lt;p&gt;Catterall has said: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not going in there for a Taylor that, in my opinion, is on the slide.&lt;/p&gt;
  6346.  
  6347.  
  6348.  
  6349. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m going in there preparing for the best version of him. But do I think his best days are done? I do.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6377. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot; id=&quot;who-is-jd-vance-s-wife&quot;&gt;Who is J. D. Vance&amp;#8217;s wife, Usha Chilukuri?&lt;/h2&gt;
  6378.  
  6379.  
  6380.  
  6381. &lt;p&gt;Usha Chilukuri is a litigator for the San Francisco and Washington DC-based law firm, Munger, Tolles, &amp;amp; Olson.&lt;/p&gt;
  6382.  
  6383.

  6385. &lt;p&gt;She married J.D. Vance in 2014. Previously, the two were former law school classmates at Yale.&lt;/p&gt;
  6386.  
  6387.  
  6388.  
  6389. &lt;p&gt;She told &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv5pGTG_Kjc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Megyn Kelly in a 2017 interview&lt;/a&gt; that she had been attracted to J.D. because of his positive attitude: “He felt very different.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6390.  
  6391.  
  6392.  
  6393. &lt;p&gt;Usha was the managing editor of the Yale Journal of Law &amp;amp; Technology and the Executive Development Editor of the Yale Law Journal during her time in school.&lt;/p&gt;
  6394.  
  6395.  
  6396.  
  6397. &lt;p&gt;She is licensed to practice law in&amp;nbsp;California, Ohio, and the&amp;nbsp;District of Columbia.&lt;/p&gt;
  6398.

  6406.  
  6407.  
  6408.  
  6409. &lt;p&gt;On February 12, 2024, J.D. celebrated Vivek&amp;#8217;s fourth birthday by reading Dr. Seuss&amp;#8217;&amp;nbsp;Oh, The Places You’ll Go!&lt;/p&gt;
  6410.  
  6411.  
  6412.  
  6413. &lt;p&gt;Before reciting part of the 1990 Dr. Seuss classic, he addressed his son, saying, &amp;#8220;And I’m sorry that they could I can’t be with you for your birthday dinner&lt;/p&gt;
  6414.  
  6415.  
  6416.  
  6417. &lt;p&gt;“But I want you to know that Daddy loves you very much. And I’m going to read this into the record because maybe you can watch it at home.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  6418.  
  6419.  
  6420.  
  6421. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032722&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.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/j-d-vance-usha-vance-663345822.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032722&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Facebook/Usha Vance&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Usha Chilukuri and J.D.

  6425. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot; id=&quot;what-is-jd-vance-s-memoir-about&quot;&gt;What is J. D. Vance&amp;#8217;s memoir about?&lt;/h2&gt;
  6426.  
  6427.  
  6428.  
  6429. &lt;p&gt;In 2016, Harper Press published J.D.&amp;#8217;s book, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  6430.  
  6431.  
  6432.  
  6433. &lt;p&gt;The memoir describes his upbringing and family background while growing up in&amp;nbsp;Middletown, Ohio, and explores themes like poverty.&lt;/p&gt;
  6434.  
  6435.  
  6436.  
  6437. &lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpercollins.com/products/hillbilly-elegy-j-d-vance?variant=32207704391714&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;memoir&amp;#8217;s description&lt;/a&gt;, the book is &amp;#8221; a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
  6438.  
  6439.  
  6440.  
  6441. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;J.D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6442.  
  6443.  
  6444.  
  6445. &lt;p&gt;The Wall Street Journal labeled it &amp;#8220;a riveting book&amp;#8221; and The New York Times said it was an &amp;#8220;essential reading.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  6446.  
  6447.  
  6448.  
  6449. &lt;p&gt;In 2020, the bestseller was turned into a movie starring Amy Adams, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/14763007/number-of-oscars-glenn-close-has-won/&quot;&gt;Glenn Close&lt;/a&gt;, and Gabriel Basso, and directed by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13371798/hillbilly-elegy-director-poverty-porn-netflix-disgrace/&quot;&gt;Ron Howard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6462. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LAWRENCE OKOLIE is gunning for a world title shot once again as he takes on Lukasz Rozanksi THIS WEEK.&lt;/p&gt;
  6463.  
  6464.

  6466. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;The Sauce&amp;#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22329056/lawrence-okolie-vs-chris-billam-smith-live-results-uk-start-time-live-stream-tv-channel/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;lost the WBO cruiserweight belt to former stablemate Chris Billam-Smith&lt;/a&gt; last summer and has been recuperating since. &lt;/p&gt;
  6467.  
  6468.  
  6469.  
  6470. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27705740&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/2024/05/RexShutterstockRozanskivOkoliePressConfer14437137ejpg-JS894525015.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE Mandatory Credit: Photo by Foto Olimpik/NurPhoto/REX/Shutterstock (14437137e) Lawrence Okolie is speaking during a press conference before the Rozanski vs. Okolie WBC World title fight in Warsaw, Poland, on April 15, 2024.

  6471.  
  6472.  
  6473.  
  6474. &lt;p&gt;But now he&amp;#8217;s back at a different weight class, the WBC&amp;#8217;s newly-created Bridgerweight, to try and win gold once again. &lt;/p&gt;
  6475.  
  6476.  
  6477.  
  6478. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lawrence-okolie/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Okolie&lt;/a&gt; takes on Rozanski, who beat Alen Babic to win the 224lb title last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  6479.  
  6480.  
  6481.  
  6482. &lt;p&gt;Victory would make him a two-weight world champion with the added foresight that he could yet challenge as a heavyweight one day. &lt;/p&gt;
  6483.  
  6484.  
  6485.  
  6486. &lt;p&gt;But first he needs to get past Rozanski, who will be bang up for it in front of his home fans. &lt;/p&gt;
  6487.  
  6488.  
  6489.  
  6490. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;When is Okolie vs Rozanski?&lt;/h2&gt;
  6491.  
  6492.  
  6493.

  6504. &lt;/ul&gt;

  6510.  
  6511.

  6528. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m excited to go to Poland and test myself yet again on away ground,&amp;#8221; said Okolie.&lt;/p&gt;
  6529.  
  6530.  
  6531.  
  6532. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Rozanski is a good champion, with an explosive style, but I&amp;#8217;m coming to do some serious damage. He has never seen power like mine.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6533.  
  6534.  
  6535.  
  6536. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m defending my world title in my own backyard, in my city, fighting against a former world champion,&amp;#8221; said Rozanski.&lt;/p&gt;
  6537.  
  6538.  
  6539.  
  6540. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a fantastic fight, for moments like these, I&amp;#8217;ve trained hard all my life.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  6569. &lt;p&gt;Westminster coroner’s &lt;span id=&quot;a07c2c15-bdee-49ec-be0f-a56d7462851a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;court&lt;/span&gt; said: “An inquest will not be required for Mr Wright.&lt;/p&gt;
  6570.  
  6571.  
  6572.  
  6573. &lt;p&gt;“The coroner has now discontinued this case.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6574.  
  6575.  
  6576.  
  6577. &lt;p&gt;Coroners investigate sudden, violent or ­unnatural deaths such as an accident or suicide.&lt;/p&gt;
  6578.  
  6579.  
  6580.  
  6581. &lt;p&gt;They can also decide to hold an inquest into a natural death in circumstances such as neglect.&lt;/p&gt;
  6582.  
  6583.  
  6584.  
  6585. &lt;p&gt;The Met had said the death at a flat in the Marylebone area of central London “was unexpected, but is not being treated as suspicious”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6586.  
  6587.  
  6588.  
  6589. &lt;p&gt;Wright first joined &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-radio-1/&quot;&gt;BBC Radio 1&lt;/a&gt; in 1980 to host a Saturday evening show and held various positions including an afternoon show and a breakfast show at the station.&lt;/p&gt;
  6590.  
  6591.  
  6592.  
  6593. &lt;p&gt;He had a stint at commercial radio before returning to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-radio-2/&quot;&gt;BBC Radio 2&lt;/a&gt; in 1996 to host &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/steve-wright/&quot;&gt;Steve Wright&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s Saturday Show and Sunday Love Songs and three years later presented &lt;span id=&quot;d7701a3d-634f-45a7-9c12-8fa37d5f4c06&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Steve Wright&lt;/span&gt; In The Afternoon every weekday on &lt;span id=&quot;2fe8ab61-ef88-44e3-8b26-a516e430db02&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Radio 2&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6594.  
  6595.  
  6596.  
  6597. &lt;p&gt;Wright stepped down in September 2022, replaced by Scott Mills in a schedule shake-up, but the star continued to present Sunday Love Songs on BBC Radio 2.&lt;/p&gt;
  6598.  
  6599.  
  6600.  
  6601. &lt;p&gt;Michael Ball has since been announced as the host of a Sunday love songs show, which has been retitled Love Songs With Michael Ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  6602.  
  6603.  
  6604.  
  6605. &lt;p&gt;Wright was made an MBE in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to radio.&lt;/p&gt;

  6637. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A TERRIFIED father says his family had to call upon their deceased grandparents for help against some dark spirits haunting their baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  6638.  
  6639.  
  6640.  
  6641. &lt;p&gt;Robin Uata said he and his family were suspicious of paranormal activity for over a year before his deceased grandma stepped in from the other side to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  6642.  
  6643.  
  6644.  
  6645. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032627&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 745px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/eb3db4c8-107c-4cc2-aaf3-45adc1f7419f.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=735&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032627&quot; width=&quot;735&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;A father recalled how his baby daughter was haunted by supernatural forces until family members stepped up to help&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Caters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  6646.  
  6647.  
  6648.  
  6649. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032628&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 729px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/89085197-7d72-43b4-b0be-d7b5c4438076.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=719&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032628&quot; width=&quot;719&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Baby Fehi seemed to have some other worldly visitors coming to visit her&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Caters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  6650.  
  6651.  
  6652.  
  6653. &lt;p&gt;Uata and his wife kept finding the door to their 1-year-old daughter Fehi’s room open in the mornings.&lt;/p&gt;
  6654.  
  6655.  
  6656.  
  6657. &lt;p&gt;Though they later determined that the door was being opened by &amp;#8220;spirits,&amp;#8221; they initially blamed each other for not closing the door properly.&lt;/p&gt;
  6658.  
  6659.  
  6660.  
  6661. &lt;p&gt;To settle their arguments, the Orem, Utah, couple decided to see who the culprit was through their baby camera.&lt;/p&gt;
  6662.  
  6663.  
  6664.  
  6665. &lt;p&gt;Shockingly, the video appears to show the door opening completely by itself, or by what they say was a spirit, which left them worried.&lt;/p&gt;
  6666.  
  6667.  
  6668.  
  6669. &lt;p&gt;They then started noticing strange occurrences around the house, and Uata says that one of their cameras caught something circling their car.&lt;/p&gt;
  6670.  
  6671.  
  6672.  
  6673. &lt;p&gt;A worried Uata then decided to call his mother, who is &amp;#8220;spiritually gifted,&amp;#8221; to help with the paranormal incidents.&lt;/p&gt;
  6674.  
  6675.  
  6676.  
  6677. &lt;p&gt;He even called upon the help of his grandparents, who passed away, to watch over them from the other side.&lt;/p&gt;
  6678.  
  6679.  
  6680.  
  6681. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully, Uata believes that it’s all been taken care of.&lt;/p&gt;
  6682.  
  6683.  
  6684.  
  6685. &lt;p&gt;“This happened when Fehi was a little over one year old back in 2021,&amp;#8221; he said. &lt;/p&gt;
  6686.  
  6687.  
  6688.  
  6689. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It started shortly after my wife and I found out we were pregnant with our second child.&lt;/p&gt;

  6878. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GARETH   SOUTHGATE hopes to lead a huge party in Trafalgar Square to mark England   winning  Euro 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  6879.  
  6880.  
  6881.  
  6882. &lt;p&gt;Yet before the FA can start thinking about any open-top bus tour of central London, their manager has to survey the wreckage of a car crash season for many of his stars.&lt;/p&gt;

  6891.  
  6892.  
  6893.  
  6894. &lt;p&gt;And only then, can he think about plotting a route to the final on July 14 in Berlin.&lt;/p&gt;
  6895.  
  6896.  
  6897.  
  6898. &lt;p&gt;A mixture of injuries and players struggling with form has ensured that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gareth-southgate/&quot;&gt;Southgate&lt;/a&gt; is juggling a number of serious issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  6899.

  6901.  
  6902. &lt;p&gt;He will today name a training squad of at least 30 players before reducing it to 26 for the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
  6903.  
  6904.  
  6905.  
  6906. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; face Bosnia and Herzegovina at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196669/newcastle-united/&quot;&gt;Newcastle&lt;/a&gt; on June 3 with their second warm-up game against Iceland at Wembley four days later.&lt;/p&gt;
  6907.  
  6908.  
  6909.  
  6910. &lt;p&gt;Southgate will submit his final squad to Uefa later that evening, with England’s first match of the Euros against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on June 16.&lt;/p&gt;
  6911.  
  6912.  
  6913.  
  6914. &lt;p&gt;While England, arguably, have more world-class talent than the&amp;nbsp; Golden Generation, it is nonsense to suggest the squad is stronger in terms of depth. In fact, there are a few potentially-damaging weaknesses.&lt;/p&gt;
  6915.  
  6916.  
  6917.  
  6918. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;HARRY PAIN&lt;/h2&gt;
  6919.  
  6920.  
  6921.  
  6922. &lt;p&gt;The most &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27981244/harry-kane-injury-england-euros-bayern-munich-tuchel/&quot;&gt;recent medical report to arrive on Southgate’s desk concerns captain Harry Kane&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6934. &lt;p&gt;If there is no &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/harry-kane/&quot;&gt;Kane&lt;/a&gt;, 30, in Germany, there will certainly be no party in London.&lt;/p&gt;
  6935.  
  6936.  
  6937.  
  6938. &lt;p&gt;Although his back injury is not thought to be too serious, it is hardly ideal timing that Kane missed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1249869/bayern-munich/&quot;&gt;Bayern Munich&lt;/a&gt;’s final two games of the season with an issue which, according to manager Thomas Tuchel, has left the forward in pain each time he has attempted to move.&lt;/p&gt;

  6958.  
  6959.  
  6960.  
  6961. &lt;p&gt;However, Southgate is unlikely to select both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ollie-watkins/&quot;&gt;Ollie Watkins&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ivan-toney/&quot;&gt;Ivan Toney&lt;/a&gt; in his final 26.&lt;/p&gt;
  6962.  
  6963.  
  6964.  
  6965. &lt;p&gt;Toney scored from the penalty spot in England’s 2-2 draw with Belgium in March and was a bright spark in that game.&lt;/p&gt;
  6966.  
  6967.  
  6968.  
  6969. &lt;p&gt;But following his return from a betting ban, the Brentford forward struggled. He failed to score in any of his final 12 club matches of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  6970.  
  6971.  
  6972.  
  6973. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Watkins, 28, goes into the summer on the back of a red-hot, 27-goal season with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196670/aston-villa/&quot;&gt;Aston Villa&lt;/a&gt; so at least he is one player who is brimming with confidence.&lt;/p&gt;
  6974.  
  6975.  
  6976.  
  6977. &lt;p&gt;Southgate will now hope a few of his other players can also rediscover their best form.&lt;/p&gt;
  6978.  
  6979.  
  6980.  
  6981. &lt;p&gt;Toney fits the Kane role more closely than Watkins, but the 28-year-old Villa man is in hot form. A tough call.&lt;/p&gt;
  6982.  
  6983.  
  6984.  
  6985. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;STICKS AND STONES&lt;/h2&gt;
  6986.  
  6987.  
  6988.  
  6989. &lt;p&gt;England&amp;#8217;s major concern is in central defence. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-stones/&quot;&gt;John Stones&lt;/a&gt;, 29, is England’s key player at the back but he has had a rotten season in terms of playing time.&lt;/p&gt;
  6990.  
  6991.  
  6992.  
  6993. &lt;p&gt;He has suffered a few injury issues and when he has been fit, the centre-back has often found himself on the&amp;nbsp; bench. In &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot;&gt;Manchester City&lt;/a&gt;’s latest title success, Stones started just 12 games.&lt;/p&gt;
  6994.  
  6995.  
  6996.  
  6997. &lt;p&gt;Defensive partner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/harry-maguire/&quot;&gt;Harry Maguire&lt;/a&gt;, 31,&amp;nbsp; has also suffered another tough season and has only started 18 top-flight games for Manchester United.&lt;/p&gt;
  6998.  
  6999.  
  7000.  
  7001. &lt;p&gt;Marc Guehi, 23, and Ezri Konsa, 26, could feature&amp;nbsp;but lack Three Lions experience. &lt;/p&gt;
  7002.  
  7003.  
  7004.  
  7005. &lt;p&gt;This is why Bayern’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/eric-dier/&quot;&gt;Eric Dier&lt;/a&gt;, 30, surely gets a recall in Southgate’s long list.&lt;/p&gt;
  7006.  
  7007.  
  7008.  
  7009. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032114&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/2024/05/ivan-toney-ollie-watkins-england-889577047.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032114&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;Southgate is unlikely to pick both Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins[/caption]
  7010.  
  7011.  
  7012.  
  7013. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032130&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 728px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/eric-dier-bayern-munich-controls-902671322.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=718&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032130&quot; width=&quot;718&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Eric Dier&amp;#8217;s experience should earn him the nod for Euro 2024[/caption]
  7014.  
  7015.  
  7016.  
  7017. &lt;p&gt;At left-back, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-shaw/&quot;&gt;Luke Shaw&lt;/a&gt;, 28, looks likely to miss out on the Euros due to a thigh injury, while there are also concerns about the form and fitness of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ben-chilwell/&quot;&gt;Ben Chilwell&lt;/a&gt;, 27, who was not involved for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
  7018.  
  7019.  
  7020.  
  7021. &lt;p&gt;As a result, right-back&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kieran-trippier/&quot;&gt; Kieran Trippier&lt;/a&gt;, 33, looks certain to start on the left. Even at right-back, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kyle-walker/&quot;&gt;Kyle Walker&lt;/a&gt;, 33, has not been playing well for City.&lt;/p&gt;
  7022.  
  7023.  
  7024.  
  7025. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;MIDDLE MANAGEMENT&lt;/h2&gt;
  7026.  
  7027.  
  7028.  
  7029. &lt;p&gt;Another key issue is who plays next to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/declan-rice/&quot;&gt;Declan Rice&lt;/a&gt;, 25, in the double pivot of Southgate’s&amp;nbsp; preferred 4-2-3-1 system.&lt;/p&gt;
  7030.  
  7031.  
  7032.  
  7033. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kalvin-phillips/&quot;&gt;Kalvin Phillips&lt;/a&gt; must have become the first England player ever to play his way out of a squad simply by, er, playing.&lt;/p&gt;
  7034.  
  7035.  
  7036.  
  7037. &lt;p&gt;Phillips, 28, remained in the squad when he was being ignored at City&amp;nbsp; but he was so bad on loan at West Ham that Southgate has been given an easy decision — axe him.&lt;/p&gt;
  7038.  
  7039.  
  7040.  
  7041. &lt;p&gt;Ajax’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jordan-henderson/&quot;&gt;Jordan Henderson&lt;/a&gt;, 33, is set to remain a squad player but is unlikely to start so Southgate is likely to continue his experiment with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/trent-alexander-arnold/&quot;&gt;Trent Alexander-Arnold&lt;/a&gt; in midfield.&lt;/p&gt;
  7042.  
  7043.  
  7044.  
  7045. &lt;p&gt;But frustratingly the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; right-back, 25, has only played in three of the last eight England games due to injury.&lt;/p&gt;
  7046.  
  7047.  
  7048.  
  7049. &lt;p&gt;Southgate’s other options are to play&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jude-bellingham/page/29/&quot;&gt;Jude Bellingham&lt;/a&gt;, Conor Gallagher or Kobbie Mainoo in a deeper role next to Rice.&lt;/p&gt;
  7050.  
  7051.  
  7052.  
  7053. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;WING AND A PRAYER&lt;/h2&gt;
  7054.  
  7055.  
  7056.  
  7057. &lt;p&gt;Out wide, and again, some of England’s players have suffered average seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  7058.  
  7059.  
  7060.  
  7061. &lt;p&gt;Yes, the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/phil-foden/&quot;&gt;Phil Foden&lt;/a&gt; and 22-year-old &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bukayo-saka/&quot;&gt;Bukayo Saka&lt;/a&gt; have been incredible but City’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-grealish/&quot;&gt;Jack Grealish&lt;/a&gt;, 28, and 27-year-old Spurs man &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/james-maddison/&quot;&gt;James Maddison&lt;/a&gt; have hardly stood out.&lt;/p&gt;
  7062.  
  7063.  
  7064.  
  7065. &lt;p&gt;On form alone, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marcus-rashford/&quot;&gt;Marcus Rashford&lt;/a&gt;, 26, should not be picked after a disastrous campaign. But he played well for England in the autumn so is likely to be selected and he does have major tournament experience.&lt;/p&gt;
  7066.  
  7067.  
  7068.  
  7069. &lt;p&gt;Jarrod Bowen, 27, and 25-year-old Eberechi Eze are competing for one, maybe two, spots.&lt;/p&gt;
  7070.  
  7071.  
  7072.  
  7073. &lt;p&gt;This is because the Premier League’s Young Player of the Season &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cole-palmer/&quot;&gt;Cole Palmer&lt;/a&gt;, 22, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/anthony-gordon/&quot;&gt;Anthony Gordon&lt;/a&gt;, 23, have both been outstanding for Chelsea and Newcastle respectively and look certain to get the nod.&lt;/p&gt;
  7074.  
  7075.  
  7076.  
  7077. &lt;p&gt;Much will depend on whether Southgate decides to play Foden, 23, centrally, where he has starred for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot;&gt;Pep Guardiola&lt;/a&gt;’s champions, or from the right.&lt;/p&gt;
  7078.  
  7079.  
  7080.  
  7081. &lt;p&gt;Decisions, decisions, Gareth.&lt;/p&gt;
  7082.

  7105. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOUNG Brits could face a major setback as Labour&amp;#8217;s new skills plan threatens to slash apprenticeships in half, a new report warns.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7106.  
  7107.  
  7108.  
  7109. &lt;p&gt;Damning research shows &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Keir Starmer&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; proposal to reform the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/26775290/rishi-sunak-boost-apprenticeships-small-firms-prioritises-big-business/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;apprenticeship levy&lt;/a&gt; to fund other types of training could inadvertently lead to a loss of 170,000 apprentice opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
  7110.  
  7111.  
  7112.  
  7113. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031981&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/2024/05/2h8b38k-engineer-guiding-trainee-laboratory-749539732.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031981&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;Young Brits could face a major setback as Labour&amp;#8217;s new skills plan threatens to slash apprenticeships in half, a new report warns[/caption]
  7114.  
  7115.  
  7116.  
  7117. &lt;p&gt;Regions like the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13524216/south-east-of-england-southampton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;South East&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/north-east/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;North East&lt;/a&gt; could be hit the hardest, with the latter potentially seeing fewer than 10,000 opportunities for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23144381/apprentices/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;apprentices&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7118.  
  7119.  
  7120.  
  7121. &lt;p&gt;But the situation looks even grimmer young Brits under 19, who might find only 39,000 apprenticeship positions available &amp;#8211; in stark contrast to the number of university places.&lt;/p&gt;
  7122.  
  7123.  
  7124.  
  7125. &lt;p&gt;Education Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gillian-keegan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gillian Keegan&lt;/a&gt; blasted Labour&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;ill-thought-through&amp;#8221; policy, saying: &amp;#8220;We have rebuilt our apprenticeship system from the ground up since 2010, delivering over 5.8 million starts and expanding apprenticeships to nearly 70 per cent of all occupations in the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  7126.  
  7127.  
  7128.  
  7129. &lt;p&gt;“This report by Onward exposes how Labour&amp;#8217;s ill-thought-through policy would slash the number of apprenticeships in half &amp;#8211; damaging opportunities for people across England.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7130.  
  7131.  
  7132.  
  7133. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; plans to transform the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/25940469/mps-demand-higher-pay-for-apprentices/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;apprenticeship levy&lt;/a&gt; into a &amp;#8220;growth and skills levy&amp;#8221;, allowing firms to use up to 50 per cent of their contributions on non-apprenticeship training, such as digital and customer service skills.&lt;/p&gt;
  7134.  
  7135.  
  7136.  
  7137. &lt;p&gt;But the think tank argues firms would likely use the full flexibility to fund other types of training for existing staff.&lt;/p&gt;
  7138.  
  7139.  
  7140.  
  7141. &lt;p&gt;Policy Fellow at Onward Jess Lister added: &amp;#8220;Apprenticeships are effective and popular as a route to training and employment, particularly for young people. &lt;/p&gt;
  7142.  
  7143.  
  7144.  
  7145. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Given that there is already insufficient supply to meet demand, pursuing a policy to reduce, rather than increase, the number of apprenticeships available is a high-risk strategy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7146.  
  7147.  
  7148.  
  7149. &lt;p&gt;The Onward report argues that rather than overhauling the existing apprenticeship levy, a tweak to encourage more businesses to participate would be more beneficial.&lt;/p&gt;
  7150.  
  7151.  
  7152.  
  7153. &lt;p&gt;It suggests lowering the threshold for contributions, fully funding apprenticeships for the 16-18 age group separately, and expanding the flexibility of apprentices to work across multiple businesses.&lt;/p&gt;

  7177.  
  7178.  
  7179.  
  7180. &lt;p&gt;“Apprenticeships are key to providing opportunity for young people and skills for our country, which is why they&amp;#8217;re crucial to delivering Labour’s mission of national renewal.&lt;/p&gt;
  7181.  
  7182.  
  7183.  
  7184. &lt;p&gt;“Labour has set out clear plans for reforming the levy into a Growth and Skills Levy so employers have the flexibility they need to train-up their workforces and create new opportunities for young people, giving our economy and communities the boost we need.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7202. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE families of the blood scandal victims told yesterday how their loved ones had been robbed of life — and those responsible should be punished.&lt;/p&gt;
  7203.  
  7204.  
  7205.  
  7206. &lt;p&gt;One, tiny &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28015885/nhs-infected-blood-scandal-victims-families-plea-report/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Colin Smith&lt;/a&gt;, had been infected with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hiv-aids/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;HIV &lt;/a&gt;and hepatitis C during a medical procedure when he was just ten months old.&lt;/p&gt;

  7220.  
  7221.  
  7222. &lt;p&gt;He developed Aids and tragically died in 1990 aged seven, weighing just 13lbs.&lt;/p&gt;
  7223.  
  7224.  
  7225.  
  7226. &lt;p&gt;His father, also called Colin, and mum Janet told how they tried in vain to get help for their critically ill son. &lt;/p&gt;
  7227.  
  7228.  
  7229.  
  7230. &lt;p&gt;They said his doctor told them the boy had a “vivid imagination” when he complained of chest pains.&lt;/p&gt;
  7231.  
  7232.  
  7233.  
  7234. &lt;p&gt;Janet said: “They had us down as overprotective parents but we knew our son, we knew he was suffering. He had AIDS but they kept it from us. &lt;/p&gt;
  7235.  
  7236.  
  7237.  
  7238. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We had ‘AIDS dead’ written on the side of the house, we had crosses scraped into the front door and we were getting phone calls saying he should be ‘locked in a room’.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7239.  
  7240.  
  7241.  
  7242. &lt;p&gt;The couple, from Newport, South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;, have a suitcase full of their son’s toys and drawings. &lt;/p&gt;
  7243.  
  7244.  
  7245.  
  7246. &lt;p&gt;Janet pulls out a blue blanket and holds it close to her face, telling &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky/&quot;&gt;Sky&lt;/a&gt; News: “It still smells of him. This is the blanket he was wrapped in when he died.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7247.  
  7248.  
  7249.  
  7250. &lt;p&gt;Demands are now growing for criminal prosecutions following decades of cover-ups after 30,000 were infected with contaminated blood — killing more than 3,000.&lt;/p&gt;
  7251.  
  7252.  
  7253.  
  7254. &lt;p&gt;The public inquiry by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28016608/nhs-infected-blood-scandal-inquiry-chilling-cover-up/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Brian Langstaff&lt;/a&gt; found that people “put their faith in doctors and in the Government . . . and their trust was betrayed”. &lt;/p&gt;
  7255.  
  7256.  
  7257.  
  7258. &lt;p&gt;Experts knew from at least 1973 that using blood from paid donors increased the risk of disease transmission.&lt;/p&gt;

  7282.

  7284.

  7288.  
  7289. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m hoping that’s right. I’m hoping there’s a few people out there who are sweating now because it’s coming to a climax. &lt;/p&gt;

  7316.  
  7317. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All that was taken away, and that won’t be forgiven even after this. We went to so many funerals that we stopped going.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7318.  
  7319.  
  7320.  
  7321. &lt;p&gt;Des Collins, of Collins Solicitors, representing nearly 1,500 families, said the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; Trust which employed haemophilia expert Professor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/arthur/&quot;&gt;Arthur&lt;/a&gt; Bloom &amp;#8211; heavily criticised in the report &amp;#8211; should refer itself to the CPS. &lt;/p&gt;
  7322.  
  7323.  
  7324.  
  7325. &lt;p&gt;Prof Bloom, who died in 1992, ran the Cardiff Haemophilia Centre and continued treating patients including Colin Smith with infected blood products despite knowing the huge risks of HIV and Hepatitis C.&lt;/p&gt;
  7326.  
  7327.  
  7328.  
  7329. &lt;p&gt;Mr Collins said: “It is entirely possible the CPS may consider it now has sufficient grounds to begin its own investigation. There is certainly an appetite for this level of accountability within the infected blood community.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7349. &lt;p&gt;Mark Ward, 55,&amp;nbsp;born with severe haemophilia and&amp;nbsp;infected with HIV and hepatitis C after receiving contaminated blood, wants those responsible to face justice.&lt;/p&gt;
  7350.  
  7351.  
  7352.  
  7353. &lt;p&gt;Sir Brian’s report highlighted how the scandal could and should have been prevented.&lt;/p&gt;
  7354.  
  7355.  
  7356.  
  7357. &lt;p&gt;The treatments were mostly given to replace blood-clotting proteins in patients with haemophilia, who were at risk of serious bleeding from minor injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  7358.  
  7359.  
  7360.  
  7361. &lt;p&gt;Britain could not produce enough blood products so continued to import from America until the mid-1980s — years after they had been linked to Aids.&lt;/p&gt;
  7362.  
  7363.  
  7364.  
  7365. &lt;p&gt;Convicts were paid to donate but their blood had high rates of hepatitis C and HIV, with just a fraction of a millilitre enough to infect. Gung-ho UK doctors did not tell patients of the risks, lied to them, or even injected them without telling them. &lt;/p&gt;
  7366.  
  7367.  
  7368.  
  7369. &lt;p&gt;The report said: “There was a lack of urgency when it came to patient safety. The risks of HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections were downplayed or ignored.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7370.

  7375. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;THE NINE KEY FINDINGS&lt;/h3&gt;
  7376. &lt;/div&gt;
  7377. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  7378. &lt;div&gt;
  7379. &lt;p&gt;1. HEALTH EXPERTS KNEW RISKS: Dangers of making blood treatments from large groups of people and paid donors, such as prisoners and drug users, who are at higher risk of viruses, were known very early on.&lt;/p&gt;
  7380. &lt;p&gt;2. SCANDAL COVERED UP: Politicians, civil servants and doctors slow to act on warnings and even lied or hid the truth about the risks. &lt;/p&gt;
  7381. &lt;p&gt;3. DISASTER AVOIDABLE: If warnings were heeded then infections, illnesses and deaths could have been avoided. Doctors should have used fewer treatments and the NHS could have used only UK-made products.&lt;/p&gt;
  7382. &lt;p&gt;4. CHILDREN EXPERIMENTED ON: Kids — particularly boys at Treloar’s boarding school, Hants — were involved in experimental studies of clotting treatments. &lt;/p&gt;
  7383. &lt;p&gt;They were often given them without parental consent or full risk explanation. Many later became ill and died.&lt;/p&gt;
  7384. &lt;p&gt;5. MINISTERS’ LACK OF HONESTY: Successive governments told the public that patients were given the best treatment available at the time. This was not true. &lt;/p&gt;
  7385. &lt;p&gt;6.  IMPACT COULD BE LARGER: Report said the true scale of infection and disease is still not known. Estimates suggest the real number affected could be around 40,000 or higher.&lt;/p&gt;
  7386. &lt;p&gt;7. DELAYS MADE SUFFERING WORSE: Victims and families endured “compounded” suffering because it has taken so long to see action. Compensation delays mean many have struggled or died without ever getting a payout.&lt;/p&gt;
  7387. &lt;p&gt;8. DEFENSIVE CULTURE DELAYED ACTION: Doctors were allowed to continue using the treatments because ministers were too afraid to challenge them or withdraw the products.&lt;/p&gt;
  7388. &lt;p&gt;9. UK BEHIND THE CURVE: Britain continued using risky blood products longer than other major countries. &lt;/p&gt;
  7389. &lt;p&gt;Some 23 nations began screening for hepatitis C before the UK, which continued to use prisoners’ blood for longer than the US, where it was shipped from.&lt;/p&gt;
  7390. &lt;/div&gt;
  7391. &lt;/div&gt;
  7392. &lt;/div&gt;
  7393.  
  7394.  
  7395.  
  7396. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;Pervasive and chilling&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  7397.  
  7398.  
  7399.  
  7400. &lt;p&gt;Medics later chose not to reveal the truth due to “the cost and effort . . .&amp;nbsp;and embarrassment”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7401.  
  7402.  
  7403.  
  7404. &lt;p&gt;Clive Smith, a criminal barrister and campaigner for The Haemophilia Society, said: “There are doctors out there who should have been prosecuted for manslaughter. &lt;/p&gt;
  7405.  
  7406.  
  7407.  
  7408. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Doctors who were testing their patients for HIV without consent, not telling them about their infections, who then went on to sadly infect their partners and they then went on to die.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7409.  
  7410.  
  7411.  
  7412. &lt;p&gt;Jason Evans, of the Factor 8 campaign group, said “a lot of the villains” in the scandal have died. &lt;/p&gt;
  7413.  
  7414.  
  7415.  
  7416. &lt;p&gt;He added: “The Government did not launch a public inquiry when it should have happened, probably in the 90s.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7417.  
  7418.  
  7419.  
  7420. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  7421. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  7422. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Huge &amp;#039;sense of relief&amp;#039; that victims finally heard&lt;/h3&gt;
  7423. &lt;/div&gt;
  7424. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  7425. &lt;div&gt;
  7426. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/julia-atherleythe-sun-co-uk/&quot;&gt;Julia Atherley,&lt;/a&gt; Home Affairs Correspondent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7427. &lt;p&gt;THE survivors and families of victims of the contaminated blood scandal have fought for decades for justice.&lt;/p&gt;
  7428. &lt;p&gt;When Sir Brian Langstaff took to the stage at the Inquiry this afternoon the atmosphere was charged with a sense of relief that they had finally been listened to.&lt;/p&gt;
  7429. &lt;p&gt;Filling Westminster Central Hall, the audience applauded the Inquiry Chair before he urged them to stop and said: “You are actually applauding the wrong people. &lt;/p&gt;
  7430. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The words come from you, and your stories.&lt;/p&gt;
  7431. &lt;p&gt;“I want you please in a moment to give me an applause, a longer one if you will, to those who are really responsible for those that in this report. &lt;/p&gt;
  7432. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Look to the right, look to your left look in front.&lt;/p&gt;
  7433. &lt;p&gt;“Those of you who can, turn and look behind you. Those are the people who have written this report.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7434. &lt;p&gt;Flooding out of the hall after the landmark report was published, campaigners hugged each other and clung to pictures of their loved ones who died after being treated with infected blood.&lt;/p&gt;
  7435. &lt;p&gt;After years of calling for a public inquiry into how the victims were treated they finally had their answers.&lt;/p&gt;
  7436. &lt;p&gt;They spoke of feeling vindicated after the report concluded that the NHS and the Government conducted a “chilling” cover-up for decades thousands suffered.&lt;/p&gt;
  7437. &lt;/div&gt;
  7438. &lt;/div&gt;
  7439. &lt;/div&gt;
  7440.  
  7441.  
  7442.  
  7443. &lt;p&gt;The inquiry found that successive governments feared opening the floodgates for compensation.&lt;/p&gt;
  7444.  
  7445.  
  7446.  
  7447. &lt;p&gt;Documents which should have been “accessible and recoverable” were also deliberately destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;
  7448.  
  7449.  
  7450.  
  7451. &lt;p&gt;It called the cover-up “subtle, pervasive and chilling” and added: “There has been a hiding of much of the truth.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7452.  
  7453.  
  7454.  
  7455. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; mayor Andy Burnham said there was “potential for corporate manslaughter charges against Whitehall departments”.&lt;/p&gt;

  7485. &lt;p&gt;1987: Government launches the Macfarlane Trust to make payments to people with haemophilia who had been infected with HIV from NHS-supplied blood products. The charity initially received £10million for payouts and a further £19million grant was made after two years.&lt;/p&gt;
  7486. &lt;p&gt;1988: Around 1,000 haemophiliacs who had been infected with HIV by transfusions or blood products sued the Government, but cases were settled out of court.&lt;/p&gt;

  7517.  
  7518.  
  7519.  
  7520. &lt;p&gt;Her mother, Daphne, became infected from a blood transfusion during a kidney transplant in 1973.&lt;/p&gt;
  7521.  
  7522.  
  7523.  
  7524. &lt;p&gt;Janice, now 45, says she is lucky because others died without ever knowing they were infected.&lt;/p&gt;
  7525.  
  7526.  
  7527.  
  7528. &lt;p&gt;But the wedding dress maker said the treatment she received destroyed her womb and plunged her into early &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/menopause/&quot;&gt;menopause&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  7532. &lt;p&gt;Janice, of Houghton Regis, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/bedfordshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Beds&lt;/a&gt;, said: “I was worried the inquiry would be a let down as we’ve been let down so much — but it’s a really good report. &lt;/p&gt;
  7533.  
  7534.  
  7535.  
  7536. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The main thing is it proves the Government was covering it up and lying about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7537.  
  7538.  
  7539.  
  7540. &lt;p&gt;“We felt silly like our voices weren’t heard for so long but now people will finally believe us. It won’t repair my lack of trust in the system because this has showed me the people I’m meant to trust are liars.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7557.  
  7558.  
  7559.  
  7560. &lt;p&gt;Gene, 20 at the time and now 58, was refused medication and given just six to 18 months to live.&lt;/p&gt;
  7561.  
  7562.  
  7563.  
  7564. &lt;p&gt;He said of the horrific revelation: “Life just stopped. I was lucky in a sense, being young and carefree, but I went off the rails and was living like they were my last moments.&lt;/p&gt;
  7565.  
  7566.  
  7567.  
  7568. &lt;p&gt;“When I look at old pictures of myself, I think that man died because my whole life was destroyed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7569.  
  7570.  
  7571.  
  7572. &lt;p&gt;Thanks to lifesaving treatment Gene, from Manchester, survived and was able to give evidence to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/27986155/infected-blood-inquiry-report-publishes-shocking-findings/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Infected Blood Inquiry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  7577.  
  7578.  
  7579.  
  7580. &lt;p&gt;He added: “There’s a long way to go yet for justice but it feels like finally someone has asked the right questions and dug into the truth.”&lt;/p&gt;

  7636. &lt;p&gt;GARY Webster is one of just 30 ­surviving boys out of 122 who were given infected blood products at a boarding school.&lt;/p&gt;
  7637.

  7640. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031925&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/gary-webster-52-eastleigh-hampshire-659835297.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031925&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Gary Webster was infected with Hepatitis B, C and HIV&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  7641.  
  7642.  
  7643.  
  7644. &lt;p&gt;He wept as he told the inquiry how he felt guilty for being spared when many of his childhood pals had died.&lt;/p&gt;
  7645.  
  7646.  
  7647.  
  7648. &lt;p&gt;The report into the scandal found that kids at specialist school, ­Treloar’s College, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hampshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hants&lt;/a&gt;, were “regarded as objects of research”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7649.  
  7650.  
  7651.  
  7652. &lt;p&gt;It also ruled that staff at the school’s on-site &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs-crisis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;NHS &lt;/a&gt;clinic were “well aware” of the risks involved.&lt;/p&gt;
  7653.  
  7654.  
  7655.  
  7656. &lt;p&gt;Gary, 59, of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/southampton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Southampton&lt;/a&gt;, who was infected with Hepatitis B, C and HIV, said: “We were exploited as children.&lt;/p&gt;
  7657.  
  7658.  
  7659.  
  7660. &lt;p&gt;“We didn’t know it at the time but we were guinea pigs. We looked up to the doctors treating us but we were used as lab rats and so many died.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7661.  
  7662.  
  7663.  
  7664. &lt;p&gt;Pupils with haemophilia often missed chunks of school. They were sent to Treloar’s as it had its own NHS treatment centre and gave them the chance of a normal life.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7681. <content:encoded>&lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Nail the guilty&lt;/h2&gt;
  7682.  
  7683.  
  7684.  
  7685. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AS sombre, moving and genuine as they were, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer’s ­apologies for the infected blood catastrophe won’t nearly suffice.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7686.  
  7687.  
  7688.  
  7689. &lt;p&gt;Thousands who had blind faith in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs-crisis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; in the ’70s and ’80s were killed by it. &lt;/p&gt;
  7690.  
  7691.  
  7692.  
  7693. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030916&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/2024/05/1970s-80s-inquiry-set-examine-903101516_13082c.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030916&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;639&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Doctors lied, even injected contaminated blood without consent, knowing it was risky[/caption]
  7694.  
  7695.  
  7696.  
  7697. &lt;p&gt;Thousands more lives were wrecked.&lt;/p&gt;
  7698.  
  7699.  
  7700.  
  7701. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/27986155/infected-blood-inquiry-report-publishes-shocking-findings/#:~:text=The%20damning%20report%20found%20politicians,in%20the%201970s%20and%201980s.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Doctors lied&lt;/a&gt;, even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28015885/nhs-infected-blood-scandal-victims-families-plea-report/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;injected contaminated blood&lt;/a&gt; without consent, knowing it was risky. &lt;/p&gt;
  7702.  
  7703.  
  7704.  
  7705. &lt;p&gt;They &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28027210/criminal-charges-next-step-victims-nhs-blood-scandal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;covered up the deadly consequences&lt;/a&gt; because the truth was too dangerous and costly to admit.&lt;/p&gt;
  7706.  
  7707.  
  7708.  
  7709. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/conservative-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Governments&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/margaret-thatcher/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Margaret Thatcher’s&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tony-blair/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tony Blair’s&lt;/a&gt; shamefully did the same. &lt;/p&gt;
  7710.  
  7711.  
  7712.  
  7713. &lt;p&gt;Incriminating documents were destroyed. &lt;/p&gt;
  7714.  
  7715.  
  7716.  
  7717. &lt;p&gt;But these were not just institutional failures. &lt;/p&gt;
  7718.  
  7719.  
  7720.  
  7721. &lt;p&gt;Specific people made these calls. Many are still alive.&lt;/p&gt;
  7722.  
  7723.  
  7724.  
  7725. &lt;p&gt;The vast compensation &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rishi-sunak/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the PM&lt;/a&gt; has pledged to pay is of course welcome. &lt;/p&gt;
  7726.  
  7727.  
  7728.  
  7729. &lt;p&gt;But justice for all &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/28027403/rishi-makes-historic-government-apology-infected-blood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;those victims&lt;/a&gt; requires the guilty to be punished for their lethal negligence and callous deceit.&lt;/p&gt;
  7730.  
  7731.  
  7732.  
  7733. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That — and not vague promises that the State will learn lessons — is by far the best deterrent to avoid a repeat of such a monstrous and appalling scandal.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7734.  
  7735.  
  7736.  
  7737. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Court’s shame&lt;/h2&gt;
  7738.  
  7739.  
  7740.  
  7741. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28025762/gazas-bin-laden-yahya-sinwar-netanyahu-arrest-war-crimes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ICC’s ludicrous proposed “arrest warrant”&lt;/a&gt; for Israel’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6462575/benjamin-netanyahu-israel-prime-minister/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Prime Minister&lt;/a&gt; is a gift to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6907235/what-is-anti-semitism-meaning/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;anti-Semites&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14928222/what-is-hamas/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;terrorism supporters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7742.  
  7743.  
  7744.  
  7745. &lt;p&gt;From the crank MPs of the Left to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/islam/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Islamist thugs&lt;/a&gt; whose racism pollutes our streets and the idiot students who consider &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24682527/hamas-terrorists-gang-raped-israeli/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;slaughter and gang-rape&lt;/a&gt; heroic if carried out by the “oppressed”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7746.  
  7747.  
  7748.  
  7749. &lt;p&gt;It is an abomination to draw some equivalence between &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24333364/hamas-attack-israel-why/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hamas&lt;/a&gt;, a banned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/terrorism/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;genocidal terror group&lt;/a&gt;, and the elected government of a liberal democracy.&lt;/p&gt;
  7750.  
  7751.  
  7752.  
  7753. &lt;p&gt;The force of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/israel-hamas-war/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Israel’s retaliation in Gaza&lt;/a&gt; is not above criticism. &lt;/p&gt;
  7754.  
  7755.  
  7756.  
  7757. &lt;p&gt;But how SHOULD it eradicate the threat to it from hate-filled savages hiding behind civilians?&lt;/p&gt;
  7758.  
  7759.  
  7760.  
  7761. &lt;p&gt;Unlike &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/israel/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt;, Britain is an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21751197/putin-arrest-warrant-international-criminal-court-ukraine/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ICC&lt;/a&gt; member.&lt;/p&gt;
  7762.  
  7763.  
  7764.  
  7765. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We should object to these warrants being sought in our name.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7766.  
  7767.  
  7768.  
  7769. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Agenda swap&lt;/h2&gt;
  7770.  
  7771.  
  7772.  
  7773. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOR an example of the incoherence of our “Government in waiting”, consider &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Labour’s&lt;/a&gt; latest pirouette on gender.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7774.  
  7775.  
  7776.  
  7777. &lt;p&gt;Ever since the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27243337/rod-liddle-cass-report-children-transitioning/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cass Report&lt;/a&gt; upended the “trans women are women” fantasists, its MPs have lined up to admit they were fools to jump on that bandwagon.&lt;/p&gt;
  7778.  
  7779.  
  7780.  
  7781. &lt;p&gt;Which reassured floating voters who wanted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27221277/hillary-cass-gender-transition-landmark-report/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;women-only spaces&lt;/a&gt; secured for real women and knew letting confused people change gender solely via self-identification was insanely reckless.&lt;/p&gt;
  7782.  
  7783.  
  7784.  
  7785. &lt;p&gt;But Labour now wants them to do so with a simple sign-off from a single GP, bypassing panels of doctors and lawyers.&lt;/p&gt;
  7786.  
  7787.  
  7788.  
  7789. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp-doctors-surgeries/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;GPs&lt;/a&gt; don’t want confrontation — that’s why sick notes are doled out like sweets. &lt;/p&gt;
  7790.  
  7791.  
  7792.  
  7793. &lt;p&gt;But Labour would ask them to tick a box and change a patient’s gender.&lt;/p&gt;
  7794.  
  7795.  
  7796.  
  7797. &lt;p&gt;That’s self-ID in all but name.&lt;/p&gt;
  7798.  
  7799.  
  7800.  
  7801. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Keir Starmer’s&lt;/a&gt; super-woke position now? Or is he sticking by last week’s?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7812. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;GEORGIA Harrison has taken another cryptic swipe at Anton Danyluk as she revealed &amp;#8220;something better is coming&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7813.  
  7814.  
  7815.  
  7816. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; pair split earlier this year after meeting on spin-off show &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island-all-stars/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;All Stars&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  7825.  
  7826.  
  7827.  
  7828. &lt;p&gt;Georgia, 29, shared an inspiring quote about letting go of worry, and said: &amp;#8220;Go with the flow of your life today beautiful soul and dance with the uncertain unfolding of the universe.&lt;/p&gt;
  7829.  
  7830.  
  7831.  
  7832. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We never know exactly what&amp;#8217;s coming next and that is the fun of it, that is partly why we come here. So anticipate new blessings and accept the things that are no longer yours.&lt;/p&gt;
  7833.  
  7834.  
  7835.  
  7836. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nature and the universe make no mistakes and energy is never destroyed. &lt;/p&gt;
  7837.  
  7838.  
  7839.  
  7840. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is only ever transmuted and replaced. If something wasn&amp;#8217;t meant for you it just means something better is coming, be patient and trust the universe.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7841.  
  7842.  
  7843.  
  7844. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Georgia and Anton&amp;#8217;s explosive reunion earlier this month at the Baftas.&lt;/p&gt;
  7845.  
  7846.  
  7847.  
  7848. &lt;p&gt;Anton told The Sun that Georgia told him to &amp;#8220;f**k off&amp;#8221; when he tried to approach her &amp;#8211; after arriving at the Baftas with a date.&lt;/p&gt;
  7849.  
  7850.  
  7851.  
  7852. &lt;p&gt;Speaking exclusively to The Sun this week, Georgia said she wanted to forget about Anton.&lt;/p&gt;
  7853.  
  7854.  
  7855.  
  7856. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;I’m just happy in the moment, I’ve gone back to my campaigning which means a lot to me.&lt;/p&gt;

  7879. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve been in Parliament and it was such a long day – from 8am to 6pm. I got back from Ibiza a few days before that, so I’ve been a busy girl.&lt;/p&gt;

  8784. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MO SALAH has dropped a huge hint that he could stay at Liverpool beyond the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  8785.  
  8786.  
  8787.  
  8788. &lt;p&gt;The club legend has been linked with a move following manager &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jurgen-klopp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jurgen Klopp&lt;/a&gt; out the Anfield exit door.&lt;/p&gt;
  8789.  
  8790.  
  8791.  
  8792. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032309&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/2024/05/epa11353546-mohamed-salah-liverpool-action-902918861.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032309&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;EPA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Mo Salah has dropped a huge hint on his future[/caption]
  8793.  
  8794.  
  8795.  
  8796. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032308&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/2024/05/2024-liverpool-manager-juergen-klopp-902940834.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032308&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;707&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Reuters&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Salah also wished Klopp a farewell[/caption]
  8797.  
  8798.  
  8799.  
  8800. &lt;p&gt;Salah&amp;#8217;s contact at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; expires in June 2025 and there has been mega-money interest from Saudi Arabia.&lt;/p&gt;
  8801.  
  8802.  
  8803.  
  8804. &lt;p&gt;He was the subject of a whopping &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23798094/liverpool-salah-transfer-world-record-offer-al-ittihad/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;£170million bid&lt;/a&gt; from Al-Ittihad last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  8805.  
  8806.  
  8807.  
  8808. &lt;p&gt;And clubs based in the Middle East are set to come back in for him this summer, with speculation suggesting they are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23752568/liverpool-mo-salah-bid-saudi-transfer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;open to paying a world-record £200m&lt;/a&gt; for the star.&lt;/p&gt;
  8809.  
  8810.  
  8811.  
  8812. &lt;p&gt;After the season came to a close on Sunday, Salah posted a picture on social media of him on the Anfield pitch with his two daughters Makka, 10, and Kayan, 4.&lt;/p&gt;
  8813.  
  8814.  
  8815.  
  8816. &lt;p&gt;He then tweeted a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28023552/darwin-nunez-liverpool-jurgen-klopp-transfer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;farewell to Klopp&lt;/a&gt; despite the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27577900/jurgen-klopp-mohamed-salah-row-liverpool-west-ham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;touchline row&lt;/a&gt; between the two at West Ham on April 27, which read: &amp;#8220;It was great sharing all those trophies and experiences with you over the past seven years. &lt;/p&gt;
  8817.  
  8818.  
  8819.  
  8820. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I wish you the best of luck for the future and hope we meet again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8821.  
  8822.  
  8823.  
  8824. &lt;p&gt;Salah then followed it up with another post that appeared to hint at him staying at Liverpool for next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  8825.  
  8826.  
  8827.  
  8828. &lt;p&gt;He wrote: &amp;#8220;We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season. Our fans deserve it and we will fight like hell.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8829.  
  8830.  
  8831.  
  8832. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/20574123/best-football-betting-sites-odds/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKER&lt;/strong&gt;S&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8833.  
  8834.  
  8835.  
  8836. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28011187/jurgen-klopp-arne-slot-liverpool-manager-song-anfield/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arne Slot&lt;/a&gt;, who was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28028058/liverpool-arne-slot-start-manager-jurgen-klopp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;confirmed as the club&amp;#8217;s new boss&lt;/a&gt; today, will surely be hoping Liverpool keep their star man this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  8837.  
  8838.  
  8839.  
  8840. &lt;p&gt;The Dutchman has reportedly penned a three-year contract.&lt;/p&gt;

  8861.  
  8862.  
  8863. &lt;p&gt;And Slot&amp;#8217;s official announcement came after Klopp tried to start a chant for his successor during his farewell speech after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28007548/wolves-liverpool-nelson-semedo-red-card-var/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Liverpool beat Wolves 2-0&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8864.  
  8865.  
  8866.  
  8867. &lt;p&gt;On his arrival, Klopp said: &amp;#8220;You welcome the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27514606/arne-slot-football-coach-manager-who/&quot;&gt;new manager&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;like you welcomed me. You go all in from the first day. You keep believing. You push the team. I’m one of you now. I love you to bits.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8868.  
  8869.  
  8870.  
  8871. &lt;p&gt;And Slot said during his Feyenoord goodbye: “It is certainly not an easy decision to close the door behind you at a club where you have experienced so many wonderful moments and worked successfully with so many wonderful people.&lt;/p&gt;
  8872.  
  8873.  
  8874.  
  8875. &lt;p&gt;“But as a sportsman, an opportunity to become a head coach in the Premier League, at one of the biggest clubs in the world, is difficult to ignore.”&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/MoSalah/status/1792641666521723388/photo/1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8893. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manager Arne Slot, 45&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8894. &lt;p&gt;Slot has led Feyenoord for three seasons, wining the Eredivisie title in 2023 and the KNVB Cup in&amp;nbsp; 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  8895. &lt;p&gt;A former footballer in Holland, he is known to be a perfectionist and favours attacking football like Jurgen Klopp.&lt;/p&gt;
  8896. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assistant manager Sipke Hulshoff, 49&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8897. &lt;p&gt;Hulshoff currently serves as Ronald Koeman’s assistant manager with the Holland national team and also works alongside Slot at Feyenoord.&lt;/p&gt;
  8898. &lt;p&gt;He has had two spells as manager at little-known Dutch side Cambuur.&lt;/p&gt;
  8899. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Head of performance Ruben Peeters, 31&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8900. &lt;p&gt;A former fitness coach at Genk, Peeters has been working with Slot at Feyenoord since 2021.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  8901. &lt;p&gt;The Belgian has a Master’s Degree in Sports Sciences.&lt;/p&gt;
  8902. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chief analyst Etienne Reijnen, 37&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8903. &lt;p&gt;Former centre back who retired from football in 2020 to move into coaching.&lt;/p&gt;
  8904. &lt;p&gt;In October 2023, Reijnen joined Feyenoord as assistant coach, to focus on analysing and providing technical advise to Arne Slot.&lt;/p&gt;

  9948. &lt;p&gt;Research by the University of Leeds suggests that the reaction times of motorists who are eating were up to 44 per cent slower than usual.&lt;/p&gt;

  9950. &lt;p&gt;While it&amp;#8217;s not illegal to eat while driving as there&amp;#8217;s no specific law against it, drivers should be cautious as it can be almost as dangerous as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/2180138/mobile-phone-illegal-car-driving-fine/&quot;&gt;using a phone while driving&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9952. &lt;p&gt;The offence carries a fine of £100 and three&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/16289078/how-long-penalty-points-stay-driving-licence/&quot;&gt;penalty points&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on your&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/driving-license/&quot;&gt;licence&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9953. &lt;p&gt;In more serious cases, or those that are contested in court, the charge can attract a maximum £5,000 fine, up to nine penalty points and even a court-imposed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/16619485/driving-licence-after-banned/&quot;&gt;driving ban&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9996.  
  9997.

  10004.

  10007. &lt;p&gt;Whilst still not addressing Gio, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/karen-clifton/&quot;&gt;Karen Hauer&lt;/a&gt; has posted that she is enjoying a break with her boyfriend.&lt;/p&gt;

  10016.  
  10017.  
  10018.  
  10019. &lt;p&gt;While some celebrities, including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/made-in-chelsea/&quot;&gt;Made in Chelsea&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jamie-laing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jamie Laing&lt;/a&gt;, have &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28020562/strictly-jamie-laing-support-giovanni-pernice-accused-stamping-partner/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;publicly thrown their support behind Gio&lt;/a&gt;, fans have noticed that his co-stars are yet to comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  10020.  
  10021.  
  10022.  
  10023. &lt;p&gt;Some have suggested this could be down to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s strict impartiality rules.&lt;/p&gt;

  10028.  
  10029.  
  10030.  
  10031. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;I suspect everyone has been told not to comment to try and stop the story.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10102. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 2023&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24497279/amanda-abbingdon-secretly-quits-strictly/&quot;&gt;Amanda abruptly withdraws&lt;/a&gt; from Strictly having already missed one live show. Her departure is announced in a vague BBC statement that &amp;#8216;wishes her the best&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10103. &lt;p&gt;Giovanni posts a short message on social media addressing the exit, which read: &amp;#8220;Amanda… I am so sad we can’t continue but I am proud of what we achieved and I am sending you so much love.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10104. &lt;p&gt;Amanda then shares her own farewell statement on Instagram thanking co-stars but failing to mention Gio.&lt;/p&gt;
  10105. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24558159/giovanni-pernice-parents-amanda-abbington-strictly/&quot;&gt;Giovanni&amp;#8217;s dad Piero &lt;/a&gt;insists there were no signs of a fall out and the pairing could have gone all the way. He praised his son as kind and polite.&lt;/p&gt;
  10106. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;November 2023&lt;/strong&gt;: Giovanni is reportedly gutted by the situation and is considering his Strictly future as questions are raised about his conduct.&lt;/p&gt;
  10107. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 2024:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25352608/amanda-abbington-strictly-death-threats/&quot;&gt;Amanda&amp;#8217;s PTSD diagnosis comes to light&lt;/a&gt; and she demands CCTV from rehearsals to prove that Giovanni&amp;#8217;s training methods weren&amp;#8217;t acceptable.&lt;/p&gt;
  10108. &lt;p&gt;The BBC issues a statement defending its duty of care to contestants, insisting it takes any claims of wrongdoing very seriously.&lt;/p&gt;
  10109. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25302971/bbc-back-giovanni-pernice-amanda-abbingdon-row/#:~:text=THE%20BBC%20has%20pledged%20to,checked%20on%20his%20mental%20welfare.&quot;&gt;Corporation stands by its man&lt;/a&gt; after emergency meeting&lt;/p&gt;
  10110. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 2024: &lt;/strong&gt;Giovanni publicly states he has no intention of leaving Strictly in a TV interview with close pal Anton du Beke.&lt;/p&gt;
  10111. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26738115/strictly-giovanni-pernice-ex-dance-partners-crisis/&quot;&gt;Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore enter the picture&lt;/a&gt;. Allegedly the two celebs, who were both previously partnered with Giovanni on Strictly, didn&amp;#8217;t feel the BBC took their issues with his methods seriously enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  10112. &lt;p&gt;The pair have a closed meeting with Amanda where tears are said to be shed.&lt;/p&gt;
  10113. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 2024: &lt;/strong&gt; We reveal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27967172/giovanni-pernice-quits-strictly-come-dancing/#:~:text=And%20The%20Sun%20can%20reveal,which%20left%20her%20in%20tears.&quot;&gt;Giovanni is leaving&lt;/a&gt; the programme after having talks with show bosses&lt;/p&gt;
  10114. &lt;p&gt;He flees the country with girlfriend Molly Brown on holiday&lt;/p&gt;
  10115. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28009207/strictly-chaos-more-celebrities-legal-action-giovanni-pernice/&quot;&gt;BBC launches an internal investigation&lt;/a&gt; after three complainants instruct lawyers.

  10156.  
  10157.  
  10158. &lt;p&gt;Sports Illustrated&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;Swimsuit issue is one of the most iconic magazines in&amp;nbsp;the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  10159.  
  10160.

  10163.  
  10164.  
  10165.  
  10166. &lt;p&gt;SI Swimsuit&amp;nbsp;began as a five-page supplement in 1964 as the brainchild of editor&amp;nbsp;Andre Laguerre, who was looking to make the magazine more noticeable during the slow winter months.&lt;/p&gt;
  10167.  
  10168.  
  10169.  
  10170. &lt;p&gt;The first cover star was German model Babette March, who wore a modest white bandeau top and boy-short bottoms.&lt;/p&gt;
  10171.  
  10172.  
  10173.  
  10174. &lt;p&gt;After growing in popularity,&amp;nbsp;it became a stand-alone issue, separate from the then weekly magazine in 1997.&lt;/p&gt;

  10209. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;IT all comes down to this &amp;#8211; after 16 weeks of intense action, the Premier League Darts play-offs has arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  10210.  
  10211.  
  10212.  
  10213. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-littler/&quot;&gt;Luke Littler&lt;/a&gt; has been in stunning form in his maiden campaign, not only mixing it with the world&amp;#8217;s best dartists but finishing TOP of the pile.&lt;/p&gt;
  10214.  
  10215.  
  10216.  
  10217. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27982981&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/2024/05/luke-littler-england-reacts-michael-902034529_26b3c1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27982981&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;623&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Luke Littler faces Michael Smith in the first semi-final of the Premier League Darts play-offs[/caption]
  10218.  
  10219.  
  10220.  
  10221. &lt;p&gt;Eight players have been competing during the competition but only three others will be joining teenage sensation Littler at the O2 Arena.&lt;/p&gt;
  10222.  
  10223.  
  10224.  
  10225. &lt;p&gt;But why? Here&amp;#8217;s everything you need to know about the final night of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/darts/&quot;&gt;Premier League Darts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10226.

  10229. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Who is playing in the Premier League Darts play-offs?&lt;/h2&gt;
  10230.  
  10231.  
  10232.  
  10233. &lt;p&gt;Alongside Littler, the final four is made up of three other world champions &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-humphries/&quot;&gt;Luke Humphries&lt;/a&gt;, Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith.&lt;/p&gt;
  10234.  
  10235.  
  10236.  
  10237. &lt;p&gt;Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright will miss out after failing to amass enough points over the 16 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  10238.  
  10239.

  10252.  
  10253.  
  10254.  
  10255. &lt;p&gt;Littler finished top of the table and put 40 points on the board, a joint-record in the competition, as well as winning four of the nights.&lt;/p&gt;
  10256.  
  10257.  
  10258.  
  10259. &lt;p&gt;He faces a tough test in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/michael-smith/&quot;&gt;Michael Smith&lt;/a&gt;, who is bang in form having won last week to secure his place in the final four.&lt;/p&gt;
  10260.  
  10261.  
  10262.  
  10263. &lt;p&gt;Smith also has also performed well against Littler, winning five of their seven meetings in the Premier League so far.&lt;/p&gt;
  10264.  
  10265.  
  10266.  
  10267. &lt;p&gt;In the other semi-final current world champion and world No 1 Luke Humphries is looking to continue his stunning 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  10268.  
  10269.  
  10270.  
  10271. &lt;p&gt;He also won four nights in his first season in the Premier League but faces the competition&amp;#8217;s most decorated player.&lt;/p&gt;
  10272.  
  10273.  
  10274.  
  10275. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/michael-van-gerwen/&quot;&gt;Michael van Gerwen&lt;/a&gt;, who has won the competition a record seven times, has endured a turbulent season but still won three nights to finish third.&lt;/p&gt;
  10276.

  10374.  
  10375.  
  10376.  
  10377. &lt;p&gt;The competition is one of the most lucrative in the sport with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25576563/premier-league-darts-2024-prize-money/&quot;&gt;overall prize pot standing at a cool £1million&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10378.

  10382.  
  10383.  
  10384.  
  10385. &lt;p&gt;Nathan Aspinall will have received £75,000 for finishing fifth, with Rob Cross (£70k), Gerwyn Price (£65k) and Peter Wright (£60k) earning slightly less based on their rankings.&lt;/p&gt;
  10386.  
  10387.  
  10388.

  10396.

  10411. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;DESPERATE Harvey Weinstein has nothing to lose and his legal team is ready to &amp;#8220;seize on an opening,&amp;#8221; a top criminal defense attorney has told The U.S. Sun about his controversial California retrial attempt.&lt;/p&gt;
  10412.  
  10413.  
  10414.  
  10415. &lt;p&gt;The disgraced movie mogul&amp;#8217;s lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, is set to file a claim at California’s 2nd Appellate District on Monday, fueled by the shock decision by the New York Court of Appeals demanding a retrial of the case which resulted in a 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges.&lt;/p&gt;
  10416.  
  10417.  
  10418.

Johnson&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Criminal defense attorney Keith B. Johnson has told The U.S. Sun how Weinstein could attempt to use his health issues to influence a new jury[/caption]
  10432.  
  10433.  
  10434.  
  10435. &lt;p&gt;Weinstein was&amp;nbsp;sentenced to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12004092/harvey-weinstein-jail-sentence-charges/&quot;&gt;23 years in prison&lt;/a&gt; in New York after being found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape.&lt;/p&gt;
  10436.  
  10437.  
  10438.  
  10439. &lt;p&gt;The now 72-year-old has denied any non-consensual sexual activity.&lt;/p&gt;
  10440.  
  10441.  
  10442.  
  10443. &lt;p&gt;Bonjean, who helped free actor Bill Cosby from jail after he served just three years of a 10-year sexual abuse sentence, will claim Weinstein&amp;#8217;s Los Angeles trial was prejudiced by witness testimonies concerning allegations for which he wasn&amp;#8217;t charged.&lt;/p&gt;
  10444.  
  10445.  
  10446.  
  10447. &lt;p&gt;Weinstein was handed a 16-year sentence for the rape of an Italian model in the California trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  10448.  
  10449.  
  10450.  
  10451. &lt;p&gt;After the announcement of a retrial in New York, The U.S. Sun spoke with Weinstein&amp;#8217;s victim, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27753334/harvey-weinstein-louisette-geiss-abuse-again-cosby-oj-simpson/&quot;&gt;Louisette Geiss&lt;/a&gt;, who was left shocked and dismayed by the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  10452.  
  10453.  
  10454.  
  10455. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;RELIVING NIGHTMARES &lt;/h2&gt;
  10456.  
  10457.  
  10458.  
  10459. &lt;p&gt;Geiss was distraught at the thought of many of the &amp;#8220;300&amp;#8221; women she believes have been affected having to relive their nightmares.&lt;/p&gt;
  10460.  
  10461.  
  10462.  
  10463. &lt;p&gt;Criminal Defense Attorney Keith B. Johnson understands the furor but wants the public to understand that Weinstein&amp;#8217;s legal team is simply doing their jobs.&lt;/p&gt;
  10464.  
  10465.  
  10466.  
  10467. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s always worth them doing it because as defense attorneys, we are kind of like baseball players,&amp;#8221; he told The U.S. Sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  10468.  
  10469.  
  10470.  
  10471. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;re not expected to hit every ball and you&amp;#8217;re not expected to win every case because of the odds that are usually on the state side.&lt;/p&gt;
  10472.  
  10473.  
  10474.  
  10475. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Anytime you have an opening, you should take it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10497.  
  10498. &lt;p&gt;Experts believe the chances of Weinstein being able to force a retrial in California, which has different regulations pertaining to witness statements, remain low despite what&amp;#8217;s happened in New York.&lt;/p&gt;
  10499.  
  10500.  
  10501.  
  10502. &lt;p&gt;Johnson agrees and doesn&amp;#8217;t believe &amp;#8220;there&amp;#8217;s enough independent evidence in California&amp;#8221; to force a retrial and that &amp;#8220;there&amp;#8217;s direct evidence that would lend itself to the conviction not being overturned,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10503.  
  10504.  
  10505.  
  10506. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But I want to make it clear. His attorneys are doing exactly what they should be doing,&amp;#8221; he added. &lt;/p&gt;
  10507.  
  10508.  
  10509.  
  10510. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You have to seize on it. There&amp;#8217;s a little bit of momentum and it may be something where they can help their client who&amp;#8217;s in a very difficult legal position.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10511.  
  10512.  
  10513.  
  10514. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;LEGAL MINEFIELD&lt;/h2&gt;
  10515.  
  10516.  
  10517.  
  10518. &lt;p&gt;At recent court appearances, Weinstein has looked frail as he was escorted into the courtroom in a wheelchair.&lt;/p&gt;
  10519.  
  10520.  
  10521.  
  10522. &lt;p&gt;His attorneys have said his physical problems have turned him into a &amp;#8220;train wreck.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10523.  
  10524.  
  10525.  
  10526. &lt;p&gt;Geiss, while not wanting to make any sweeping judgments about Weinstein&amp;#8217;s health, found it hard to believe he wasn&amp;#8217;t leaning into his apparent issues for the cameras.&lt;/p&gt;
  10527.  
  10528.  
  10529.  
  10530. &lt;p&gt;Johnson thinks the narrative surrounding his condition could play into a new jury&amp;#8217;s hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  10531.  
  10532.  
  10533.  
  10534. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Mr. Weinstein is not going to take a deal,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10535.  
  10536.  
  10537.  
  10538. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s going to be a trial, and I think that that&amp;#8217;s the right move on his part too, because it can&amp;#8217;t get any worse than what it already is.&lt;/p&gt;
  10539.  
  10540.  
  10541.  
  10542. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you&amp;#8217;ll get a more sympathetic jury, they may say, &amp;#8216;Look at this old guy, he looks pitiful, he&amp;#8217;s already done enough, maybe he did it, maybe he didn&amp;#8217;t.'&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10554. &lt;p&gt;October 2017: The New York Times reports the film mogul, whose Miramax film company won its first Oscar in 1997 for The English Patient, has reached legal settlements with eight women who accused him of sexual harassment spanning over 30 years. He is fired from his company, his wife leaves him, and the #Metoo movement is born.&lt;/p&gt;
  10555. &lt;p&gt;May 2018: Weinstein was arrested on charges of rape and a criminal sex act involving alleged assaults of two women.&lt;/p&gt;
  10556. &lt;p&gt;June 2018: He pleads not guilty to both charges and a third charge. One of them is eventually dropped.&lt;/p&gt;
  10557. &lt;p&gt;December 2019: Weinstein agrees to a $25 million settlement with a number of women who accused him of wrongdoing.&lt;/p&gt;
  10558. &lt;p&gt;February 2020: He is sentenced to 23 years in prison in New York for the charges brought against him in 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  10559. &lt;p&gt;December 2020: A jury in Los Angeles convicts him of raping a model. He receives a 16-year prison term two months later, which runs alongside his New York sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  10560. &lt;p&gt;April 2024: His New York conviction is overturned and a new trial is ordered.&lt;/p&gt;
  10561. &lt;/div&gt;
  10562. &lt;/div&gt;
  10563. &lt;/div&gt;
  10564.  
  10565.  
  10566.  
  10567. &lt;p&gt;While the decision from the New York Court of Appeal has drawn widespread criticism, some have questioned why the judge in the 2020 hearing in Manhattan preceded over a trial where errors have subsequently forced a redo.&lt;/p&gt;
  10568.  
  10569.  
  10570.  
  10571. &lt;p&gt;Johnson pointed to the fact that the decision was &amp;#8220;a coin flip&amp;#8221; and very close on the appellate level.&lt;/p&gt;
  10572.  
  10573.  
  10574.  
  10575. &lt;p&gt;The court decreed that “prior bad acts” testimonies were &amp;#8220;unnecessary to establish defendant’s intent and served only to establish defendant’s propensity to commit the crimes charged.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10576.  
  10577.  
  10578.  
  10579. &lt;p&gt;While the charges in New York were based on the testimonies of two women &amp;#8211; Jessica Mann and Miriam Haley &amp;#8211; three others testified in an attempt to illustrate a pattern of predatory behavior.&lt;/p&gt;
  10580.  
  10581.  
  10582.  
  10583. &lt;p&gt;Dawn Dunning, Tarale Wulff, and Lauren Young all said Weinstein used his Hollywood fame to take advantage of women who wanted to become involved in the film industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  10584.  
  10585.  
  10586.  
  10587. &lt;p&gt;The attorneys for the movie producer, however, contested the usage of the &amp;#8220;prior bad acts.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10588.  
  10589.  
  10590.  
  10591. &lt;p&gt;Johnson understands their move from a legal point of view.&lt;/p&gt;
  10592.  
  10593.  
  10594.  
  10595. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As attorneys, we make our reputation by trying to take these facts and trying to convince a judge pretrial that this is inappropriate for a jury to hear,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10596.  
  10597.  
  10598.  
  10599. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If they lose, they&amp;#8217;re going to appeal.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10600.  
  10601.  
  10602.  
  10603. &lt;p&gt;Weinstein is set to remain in Rikers Island jail while awaiting the retrial and is waiting to find out if he will be sent to California to serve his sentence there.&lt;/p&gt;
  10604.  
  10605.  
  10606.  
  10607. &lt;p&gt;A pre-trial court date of May 29 has been set, with the trial possibly taking place in September this year.&lt;/p&gt;

  10631. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;TWO people are in hospital following the cryptosporidium outbreak in South Devon, the Government says.&lt;/p&gt;
  10632.  
  10633.  
  10634.  
  10635. &lt;p&gt;The UK&amp;nbsp;Health&amp;nbsp;Security Agency is investigating 46 confirmed cases of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/video/living-living/5330366/how-diarrhoea-illness-cryptosporidium-or-cryptosporidiosis-is-caused-and-how-its-sometimes-found-in-swimming-pools/&quot;&gt;the parasite&lt;/a&gt; after it was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/27925200/cryptosporidium-outbreak-brixham-devon-water-illness/&quot;&gt;found in Brixham&amp;#8217;s water supply&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  10640.  
  10641.  
  10642.  
  10643. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to MPs on Monday, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/stephen-barclay/&quot;&gt;Steve Barclay&lt;/a&gt;, the Environment Secretary, warned the number of confirmed cases could rise.&lt;/p&gt;
  10644.  
  10645.  
  10646.  
  10647. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;Given symptoms may take up to 10 days to emerge, obviously that may continue to rise.&lt;/p&gt;
  10648.  
  10649.  
  10650.  
  10651. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Two people have been hospitalised.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10652.  
  10653.  
  10654.  
  10655. &lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, South West Water (SWW) urged locals across Brixham, Boohay, Kingswear, Roseland and North East Paignton to boil their tap water.&lt;/p&gt;
  10656.  
  10657.  
  10658.  
  10659. &lt;p&gt;It came after tests found Cryptosporidium was present in the tap water.&lt;/p&gt;
  10660.  
  10661.  
  10662.  
  10663. &lt;p&gt;The parasite causes an infection called cryptosporidiosis, which leaves victims with symptoms such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/15712444/what-causes-diarrhoea-treat-it-when-see-doctor/&quot;&gt;diarrhoea&lt;/a&gt; and &amp;#8220;childbirth-like&amp;#8221; cramps.&lt;/p&gt;
  10664.  
  10665.  
  10666.  
  10667. &lt;p&gt;Nausea or vomiting, a mild fever, and loss of appetite have also been recorded.&lt;/p&gt;
  10668.  
  10669.  
  10670.  
  10671. &lt;p&gt;The bug can live in the intestines and faeces of infected humans and animals.&lt;/p&gt;
  10672.  
  10673.  
  10674.  
  10675. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/8525352/hotel-swimming-pool-colour-clean-advice/&quot;&gt;can spread directly from another person&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or animal by touching faeces or through&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/8525352/hotel-swimming-pool-colour-clean-advice/&quot;&gt;swimming in&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or consuming contaminated water or food.&lt;/p&gt;
  10676.  
  10677.  
  10678.  
  10679. &lt;p&gt;But experts fear people could fall ill in other parts of the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  10702. &lt;p&gt;Mr Barclay said that whilst 16,000 homes served by Alston reservoir were subject to the boil notice, 85 percent (32,000 residents) have had the &amp;#8220;precautionary&amp;#8221; measure lifted.&lt;/p&gt;
  10703.  
  10704.  
  10705.  
  10706. &lt;p&gt;It comes as SWW said the &amp;#8220;probable&amp;#8221; cause of the parasite outbreak is a damaged air valve which may have allowed contaminated water to seep into Hillhead reservoir.&lt;/p&gt;
  10707.  
  10708.  
  10709.  
  10710. &lt;p&gt;The reservoir was successfully drained, cleaned and was being refilled on Monday, SWW said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10711.  
  10712.  
  10713.  
  10714. &lt;p&gt;Conservative MP Anthony Mangnall, whose Totnes constituency includes Brixham, said the 46 confirmed cases is an &amp;#8220;underestimation&amp;#8221; and blamed SWW for people falling ill.&lt;/p&gt;

  10723. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10724. HUNDREDS of people in Devon have been struck down by a parasite that infiltrated the water supply. &lt;/p&gt;
  10725. &lt;div&gt;
  10726. &lt;p&gt;The bug, cryptosporidium, commonly known as &amp;#8216;crypto,&amp;#8217; can infect the digestive systems of both animals and people.&lt;/p&gt;
  10727. &lt;p&gt;Most people recover, but some can become seriously ill, such as very young children and those with particularly weak immune systems.&lt;/p&gt;
  10728. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the symptoms?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10729. &lt;ul&gt;
  10730. &lt;li&gt;Profuse watery diarrhoea&lt;/li&gt;
  10731. &lt;li&gt;Stomach pains&lt;/li&gt;
  10732. &lt;li&gt;Nausea&lt;/li&gt;
  10733. &lt;li&gt;Vomiting&lt;/li&gt;
  10734. &lt;li&gt;Low-grade fever&lt;/li&gt;
  10735. &lt;li&gt;Loss of appetite&lt;/li&gt;
  10736. &lt;li&gt;Dehydration&lt;/li&gt;
  10737. &lt;li&gt;Weight loss&lt;/li&gt;
  10738. &lt;/ul&gt;
  10739. &lt;p&gt;Symptoms usually last about two weeks but can be longer, especially in people with weak immune systems.&lt;/p&gt;
  10740. &lt;p&gt;During the illness, you might think you are getting better and have shaken off the infection, but then it returns a couple of days later before you fully recover.&lt;/p&gt;
  10741. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Take the following steps to protect yourself from the illness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10742. &lt;p&gt;The advice to people living in the affected area is to boil your drinking water and drink plenty to prevent becoming dehydrated – and stay away at home until it’s subsided.&lt;/p&gt;
  10743. &lt;p&gt;Beyond the current outbreak, crypto can also be caught in lakes and swimming pools and contact with animal manure.&lt;/p&gt;
  10744. &lt;p&gt;Therefore, you should always avoid swallowing water in lakes and swimming pools.&lt;/p&gt;
  10745. &lt;p&gt;Catching it from animals is usually the most common way people become unwell, with a spike coming in spring when farms hold open days.&lt;/p&gt;
  10746. &lt;p&gt;You should always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after working with, feeding, grooming or playing with pets and other animals. &lt;/p&gt;
  10747. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I treat the illness?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10748. &lt;p&gt;There is no specific treatment for cryptosporidiosis.&lt;/p&gt;
  10749. &lt;p&gt;Most people with a healthy immune system will recover within one month.&lt;/p&gt;
  10750. &lt;p&gt;It’s important to drink plenty of fluids as diarrhoea or vomiting can lead to dehydration and you can lose important sugars and minerals from your body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10751. &lt;p&gt;Cryptosporidiosis is highly infectious, so you need to be very clean around your home for at least 48 hours after your symptoms stop, so don&amp;#8217;t return to work or school until that time has passed, don&amp;#8217;t share towels or bedding and don&amp;#8217;t prepare food for others.&lt;/p&gt;
  10752. &lt;p&gt;You are infectious to other people while you are ill and have symptom&lt;/p&gt;
  10753. &lt;/div&gt;
  10754. &lt;/div&gt;
  10755. &lt;/div&gt;
  10756.  
  10757.  
  10758.  
  10759. &lt;p&gt;Blasting the scandal as &amp;#8220;totally unacceptable&amp;#8221; in the 21st century, he added: &amp;#8220;The anger in Brixham is palpable, the frustration is apparent.&lt;/p&gt;
  10760.  
  10761.  
  10762.  
  10763. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And the sheer inconvenience that has been put on them by South West Water is absolutely abhorrent.&lt;/p&gt;
  10764.  
  10765.  
  10766.  
  10767. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For 24 hours people were still able to drink the water, SWW continued to say there was no problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  10768.  
  10769.  
  10770.  
  10771. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The reason that people are ill and 46 is most certainly an underestimation, is because of that time period in which people were able to go on drinking it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10772.  
  10773.  
  10774.  
  10775. &lt;p&gt;Mr Mangnall  demanded an investigation into SWW&amp;#8217;s handling and said the &amp;#8220;damaged reputation that has been suffered by businesses and the community of Brixham needs to be addressed&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10776.  
  10777.  
  10778.  
  10779. &lt;p&gt;Responding, Mr Barclay said: &amp;#8220;Issues around drinking water are taken with absolute utmost seriousness within Government.&lt;/p&gt;
  10780.  
  10781.  
  10782.  
  10783. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And that is why I can assure him that these issues will be looked at extremely closely.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10797. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A SAVVY shopper went on a treasure hunt at a thrift store and cooked up some savings.&lt;/p&gt;
  10798.  
  10799.  
  10800.  
  10801. &lt;p&gt;He couldn&amp;#8217;t believe that he had scored a high-end kitchenware find for a fraction of the cost. &lt;/p&gt;
  10802.

  10807.  
  10808.  
  10809. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was back home from winter break and found what I think is my best ever thrift find &amp;#8211; a KitchenAid stand mixer,&amp;#8221; said Redditor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/Thrift/comments/18xzwaz/the_ultimate_thrift_find/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Jackson Maner (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Jackson Maner&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  10810.  
  10811.  
  10812.  
  10813. &lt;p&gt;It might not have been in perfect condition, but it worked all the same. &lt;/p&gt;
  10814.  
  10815.  
  10816.  
  10817. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This thing was grubby as hell and didn’t have the bowl or any attachments, but it had the accessory slot cover and screw and worked perfectly,&amp;#8221; he continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  10818.  
  10819.  
  10820.  
  10821. &lt;p&gt;He was still in shock over the steal. &lt;/p&gt;
  10822.  
  10823.  
  10824.  
  10825. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Literally the best luck I’ve ever had with thrifting,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10826.  
  10827.  
  10828.  
  10829. &lt;p&gt;Others were also floored over the frugal buy.&lt;/p&gt;
  10830.  
  10831.  
  10832.  
  10833. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nice find! What did you pay for it?&amp;#8221; asked one Redditor.&lt;/p&gt;
  10834.  
  10835.  
  10836.  
  10837. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Twenty dollars,&amp;#8221; he replied.&lt;/p&gt;
  10838.  
  10839.  
  10840.  
  10841. &lt;p&gt;Some wished they had gotten the same deal. &lt;/p&gt;
  10842.  
  10843.  
  10844.  
  10845. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Good find. I bought one brand new for my mom years ago and she hasn’t used it much, lol,&amp;#8221; said one user.&lt;/p&gt;

  10869.  
  10870.  
  10871.  
  10872. &lt;p&gt;Most KitchenAid stand mixers sell for between $449.99 and $649.99.&lt;/p&gt;
  10873.  
  10874.  
  10875.  
  10876. &lt;p&gt;The item is described as offering a bowl-lift design for &amp;#8220;maximum stability&amp;#8221; as well as ultimate mixing capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
  10877.  
  10878.  
  10879.  
  10880. &lt;p&gt;It also boasts 11 speeds and can be used for everything from kneading to mixing to shredding and beating.&lt;/p&gt;
  10881.  
  10882.  
  10883.  
  10884. &lt;p&gt;And he can even choose from over ten types of attachments.  &lt;/p&gt;

  10889.  
  10890.  
  10891.  
  10892. &lt;p&gt;These include the ice cream maker attachment, which sells for $99.99 and makes frozen desserts in less than half an hour.&lt;/p&gt;
  10893.  
  10894.  
  10895.  
  10896. &lt;p&gt;The three-piece pasta roller and cutter set that sells for $219.99 and the $34.99 whip bowl-lift stand will also help you take your cooking game to the next level. &lt;/p&gt;
  10897.

  10901.  
  10902.  
  10903.  
  10904. &lt;p&gt;And they weren&amp;#8217;t the only ones scoring secondhand deals.&lt;/p&gt;
  10905.  
  10906.  
  10907.  
  10908. &lt;p&gt;One shopper took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27760294/thrift-find-cheap-bargain-deal-le-creuset-fondue-reddit/&quot;&gt;Reddit&lt;/a&gt; to gush about finding a Le Creuset Fondue Pot for $10.&lt;/p&gt;
  10909.  
  10910.  
  10911.  
  10912. &lt;p&gt;Yet another &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27742623/thrifting-cookware-food-le-creuset/&quot;&gt;Reddit user&lt;/a&gt; snagged six Le Creuset finds ranging in price from just $9 to $25. &lt;/p&gt;
  10913.  
  10914.  
  10915.  
  10916. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10917. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10918. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Why is Le Creuset so expensive?&lt;/h3&gt;
  10919. &lt;/div&gt;
  10920. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10921. &lt;div&gt;
  10922. &lt;p&gt;Le Creuset cookware is on the wishlists of many home cooks and bakers.&lt;/p&gt;
  10923. &lt;p&gt;But the French brand&amp;#8217;s Dutch ovens can cost between $260 and $750, and even a bread loaf pan will set you back $180.&lt;/p&gt;
  10924. &lt;p&gt;So what warrants such hefty price tags?&lt;/p&gt;
  10925. &lt;p&gt;Le Creuset&amp;#8217;s Dutch ovens are among its most popular items, and they — along with several other pieces of their cookware — are made with high-quality enameled cast iron.&lt;/p&gt;
  10926. &lt;p&gt;They&amp;#8217;re meant to last a long time and even carry a lifetime warranty &amp;#8220;to be free from defects in material and workmanship.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10927. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s like, do you really wanna buy a $50 piece of something over and over again, or do you wanna invest in something and know that you’re gonna have it for a long time?&amp;#8221; Nate Collier, Le Creuset&amp;#8217;s director of marketing and communications, said to &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Eater (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.eater.com/2019/9/5/18629397/le-creuset-dutch-oven-cookware-best&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Eater&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10928. &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Cookware Insider (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://cookwareinsider.com/why-is-le-creuset-so-expensive/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cookware Insider&lt;/a&gt;, 15 quality control officers inspect each of the brand&amp;#8217;s items before they&amp;#8217;re sold.&lt;/p&gt;
  10929. &lt;p&gt;Of course, they&amp;#8217;re pretty, too, and quite the status symbol.&lt;/p&gt;
  10930. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You think of it as a simple piece of cookware, but even the silhouette of our Dutch oven is recognizable,&amp;#8221; Collier said.&lt;/p&gt;
  10931. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You could show someone a line drawing without any color, and most people that are familiar with cookware would be able to tell you that it&amp;#8217;s specifically a Le Creuset Dutch oven.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10932. &lt;p&gt;Celebrity fans include Julia Child, Marilyn Monroe, Jennifer Garner, and Taylor Swift.&lt;/p&gt;
  10933. &lt;/div&gt;

  10948. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A MASTERCHEF contestant was left breaking down into tears during the show&amp;#8217;s final week as she made an error with one of her dishes.&lt;/p&gt;
  10949.  
  10950.  
  10951.  
  10952. &lt;p&gt;Louise was among the four hopefuls who were jetted out to Singapore for the show&amp;#8217;s final week of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; contest.&lt;/p&gt;

  10959.  
  10960. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032037&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/2024/05/Screenshot-Capture-2024-05-20-21-09-49.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032037&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;415&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;She was left crushed at the end of the round[/caption]
  10961.  
  10962.  
  10963.  
  10964. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cooking/&quot;&gt;cooking&lt;/a&gt; hopeful has put in an impressive stint on the show so far but the cracks appeared to be forming as she headed into the final round.&lt;/p&gt;
  10965.  
  10966.  
  10967.  
  10968. &lt;p&gt;Louise and her co-stars could be seen prepping dishes in a restaurant in a bid to impress &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-torode/&quot;&gt;John Torode&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gregg-wallace/&quot;&gt;Gregg Wallace&lt;/a&gt; as well as a panel of judges.&lt;/p&gt;
  10969.  
  10970.  
  10971.  
  10972. &lt;p&gt;However, it became quite clear that Louise was feeling the heat of the kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  10973.  
  10974.  
  10975.  
  10976. &lt;p&gt;As she attempted to prep her dish within the allocated time, she was left calling on her co-stars for help in &amp;#8220;frying her puri&amp;#8221; as she realised she was running out of time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10977.  
  10978.  
  10979.  
  10980. &lt;p&gt;Dashing around the kitchen, Gregg quipped to the star: &amp;#8220;Louise, do you know that you&amp;#8217;ve got to be gone in five minutes?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10981.  
  10982.  
  10983.  
  10984. &lt;p&gt;Appearing to get emotional, she snapped back: &amp;#8220;Yeah! I&amp;#8217;m stressed!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10985.  
  10986.  
  10987.  
  10988. &lt;p&gt;She later said of her Scallops-based dish: &amp;#8220;I want time to make it look beautiful, and I&amp;#8217;ve run out of time to make it look pretty.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10989.  
  10990.  
  10991.  
  10992. &lt;p&gt;With time up, her dish was sent out for service and Louise instantly crumbled and broke down in tears.&lt;/p&gt;
  10993.  
  10994.  
  10995.  
  10996. &lt;p&gt;Noting her fragile state, Gregg was quick to check-in on the prospective chef as he asked: &amp;#8220;Are you alright?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10997.  
  10998.  
  10999.  
  11000. &lt;p&gt;Sobbing, she furiously weeped: &amp;#8220;It is not going the way I wanted it to!&lt;/p&gt;

  11024.  
  11025.  
  11026.  
  11027. &lt;p&gt;Wiping away tears, she said: &amp;#8220;I can cook better than this &amp;#8211; I&amp;#8217;ve put my heart and soul into this competition.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11028.  
  11029.  
  11030.  
  11031. &lt;p&gt;Despite her tears, some of the judges admitted there was a &amp;#8220;&lt;span id=&quot;2d09bd68-1c6b-4506-bdd0-91e6e8701fd1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; heat&amp;#8221; to her dish as they praised certain aspects of her cookery.&lt;/p&gt;
  11032.  
  11033.  
  11034.  
  11035. &lt;p&gt;John and Gregg equally were impressed with some elements of her dish but when picking up her seemingly wet and wilted vegetables, John could not help but be less than complimentary.&lt;/p&gt;
  11036.  
  11037.  
  11038.  
  11039. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;The vegetables just haven&amp;#8217;t worked, it is really disappointing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11040.  
  11041.  
  11042.  
  11043. &lt;p&gt;With Gregg in agreement, it remains to be seen how Louise will fare in the &lt;span id=&quot;659b394f-adb4-4981-a4d8-f343114c713b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; episode.&lt;/p&gt;
  11044.  
  11045.  
  11046.  
  11047. &lt;p&gt;The cook will have another chance to shine later this week as they prepare meals for the &amp;#8216;top table&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11068. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIBRARY chiefs are being urged to install panic buttons, hire guards and set up secure rooms after a spike in abuse of staff.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11069.  
  11070.  
  11071.  
  11072. &lt;p&gt;National charity Libraries Connected said workers face “disruptive behaviour” on a regular basis and wants them to start wearing bodycams.&lt;/p&gt;
  11073.  
  11074.  
  11075.  
  11076. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031327&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/2024/05/c0j6gc-library-books-uk-public-570112926.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031327&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;Library chiefs are being urged to install panic buttons, hire guards and set up secure rooms after a spike in abuse of staff[/caption]
  11077.  
  11078.  
  11079.  
  11080. &lt;p&gt;One &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/18763699/libraries-opening-times-bank-holiday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;library&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/essex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Essex&lt;/a&gt; has hired guards after 50 incidents of anti-social behaviour in three months.&lt;/p&gt;
  11081.  
  11082.  
  11083.  
  11084. &lt;p&gt;Other flashpoints elsewhere have seen youngsters throwing books around, being noisy and abusive, and even climbing on the roof.&lt;/p&gt;
  11085.  
  11086.  
  11087.  
  11088. &lt;p&gt;Boss Ed Jewell said he is unsure what is driving the surge in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21842552/rishi-sunak-anti-social-behaviour-crackdown/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;anti-social behaviour&lt;/a&gt; but insisted the impact is “clearly profound”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11089.  
  11090.  
  11091.  
  11092. &lt;p&gt;His organisation has published guidance on how to make library staff and customers feel safer.&lt;/p&gt;
  11093.  
  11094.  
  11095.  
  11096. &lt;p&gt;Among the suggestions it makes are employing “specially trained security staff” and identifying a “safe place” that is lockable and has radios and phones where staff can retreat to seek help.&lt;/p&gt;
  11097.  
  11098.  
  11099.  
  11100. &lt;p&gt;It also recommends installing panic buttons — linked to local security services or the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; — to be “activated discreetly” by staff.&lt;/p&gt;
  11101.  
  11102.  
  11103.  
  11104. &lt;p&gt;And workers can take courses in subjects such as “conflict training”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11105.  
  11106.  
  11107.  
  11108. &lt;p&gt;Mr Jewell writes: “We want libraries to be safe, supportive environments for everyone. &lt;/p&gt;
  11109.  
  11110.  
  11111.  
  11112. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To underpin this libraries need clear, enforceable policies and consistent, informed support from their local authority and the police. That firm back-stop needs to be balanced with training for staff that gives them the confidence to address disruptive behaviour and, where possible, the ability to engage with and turn potentially challenging behaviour into something more constructive.&lt;/p&gt;
  11113.  
  11114.  
  11115.  
  11116. &lt;p&gt;“What is driving the recent increase in disruptive behaviour is uncertain, but the impact on staff is clearly profound. &lt;/p&gt;

  11167. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A WOMAN has clapped back at haters who criticised her postpartum belly, just one month after she gave birth to her daughter. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11168.  
  11169.  
  11170.  
  11171. &lt;p&gt;Caitlin Bridget, an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;influencer&lt;/a&gt; best known for sharing her life online with her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/relationship-advice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;wife&lt;/a&gt; Leah Sheil, has revealed that trolls have claimed that her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pregnancy-childbirth/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;post-birth&lt;/a&gt; belly is the reason why they won’t have &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;children&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11180.  
  11181.  
  11182.  
  11183. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but the mum-of-two under two, who welcomed the couple’s second child Lyla just last month, thanks to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/infertility-ivf/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;IVF&lt;/a&gt;, revealed that mean keyboard warriors have also slated her for ‘shaking her fat’ and described her&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/body-shapes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; stomach&lt;/a&gt; as a ‘literal nightmare’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11184.  
  11185.  
  11186.  
  11187. &lt;p&gt;Caitlin, who is a co-host of The 3am Club &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/podcasts/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;podcast&lt;/a&gt;, alongside her wife Leah, 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 open up about the “hate” she has received about her stomach.&lt;/p&gt;
  11188.  
  11189.  
  11190.  
  11191. &lt;p&gt;Posting online, Caitlin shared screenshots of a series of comments she has encountered on her posts about her postpartum body.&lt;/p&gt;
  11192.  
  11193.  
  11194.  
  11195. &lt;p&gt;Whilst one user wrote “I’m afraid of getting pregnant if this is what my belly will look like”, another questioned “Am I the only one who thinks she is just fat?”&lt;/p&gt;
  11196.  
  11197.  
  11198.  
  11199. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but someone else penned “Could have gone without seeing a grown woman shake her fat”, and another user wrote “I wouldn’t be smiling about it, literal nightmare.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11200.  
  11201.  
  11202.  
  11203. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, someone else tagged a TikTok user and explained: “She was pregnant and her whole body was destroyed, that’s why I don’t want to.” &lt;/p&gt;
  11204.  
  11205.  
  11206.  
  11207. &lt;p&gt;But Caitlin wasn’t afraid to clap back to the haters, as she claimed that she doesn’t let the mean comments get her down.&lt;/p&gt;
  11208.  
  11209.  
  11210.  
  11211. &lt;p&gt;Whilst wearing a two-piece cropped set, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/hair-and-beauty/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;red-haired beauty&lt;/a&gt; showed off her stomach and bravely said: “Thankfully these comments don&amp;#8217;t get to me because I am so proud of my postpartum body, but it does upset me because I feel like if some people are reading the comments and they have a stomach that looks similar to mine after giving birth, then that could really affect them. &lt;/p&gt;
  11212.  
  11213.  
  11214.  
  11215. &lt;p&gt;“It makes me laugh when I get comments saying ‘her stomach is literally the reason I don&amp;#8217;t want to have kids’ &amp;#8211; honestly, the love you have for your child and what you go through to have your child is so worth it to have a stomach that looks like this.&lt;/p&gt;
  11216.  
  11217.  
  11218.  
  11219. &lt;p&gt;“This just literally does not matter and I really hope that if you do have that mindset that you don&amp;#8217;t have kids, because if this isn&amp;#8217;t worth it for your kids, then I mean, I&amp;#8217;m sorry.”&lt;/p&gt;

  11242. &lt;p&gt;Caitlin claimed that it can take a woman’s body up to two years to recover from childbirth, and as a result, she wants to normalise postpartum bodies, as she thinks they are ‘beautiful’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11243.  
  11244.  
  11245.  
  11246. &lt;p&gt;She added: “I feel like we need to normalise this because why are we making people feel so ashamed for looking like this after having a child?&lt;/p&gt;

  11287. &lt;div&gt;
  11288. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TO SAY the body changes during pregnancy and childbirth is an understatement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11289. &lt;p&gt;Throughout the nine months it takes for the body to bring a baby into the world, it goes through some huge physical changes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11290. &lt;p&gt;Considering how different the body looks during&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pregnancy/&quot;&gt;pregnancy&lt;/a&gt;, it&amp;#8217;s not surprising that there are some lasting changes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11291. &lt;p&gt;And it some ways, it never does, Doctor Rachel Ward, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp-doctors-surgeries/&quot;&gt;GP &lt;/a&gt;at Woodlands Medical Centre, Derby, said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11292. &lt;p&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Wider ribcage and hips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11293. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;During pregnancy in order to accommodate a growing baby and prepare for giving birth, our body produces a hormone called relaxin,&amp;#8221; she explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  11294. &lt;p&gt;Relaxin works by increasing the flexibility and movement in our joints and ligaments.&lt;/p&gt;
  11295. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Many women find that after pregnancy the shape of their pelvis and ribcage remains different,&amp;#8221; Dr Rachel said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11296. &lt;p&gt;It is common to need a different&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/4037327/bra-size-measure/&quot;&gt;bra size&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;due to a change in chest circumference, the expert said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11297. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is a reminder of the changes your body made to accommodate your baby and is nothing to be worried about,&amp;#8221; she added.&lt;/p&gt;
  11298. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Change in skin colour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11299. &lt;p&gt;During pregnancy, most women experience skin changes as it stretches to accommodate your bump and enlarging breasts.&lt;/p&gt;
  11300. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is not uncommon to develop stretch marks.&lt;/p&gt;
  11301. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Though they will often fade over time and become a shiny pale colour, depending on your skin tone they will not go away completely,&amp;#8221; Dr Rachel said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11302. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Some people do not like the way &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/8833719/i-had-my-stretch-marks-tattooed-off/&quot;&gt;stretch marks&lt;/a&gt; look but they are an incredibly common change that we see in many people,&amp;#8221; she added.&lt;/p&gt;
  11303. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. A change in breast shape&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11304. &lt;p&gt;Breasts increase in size during pregnancy as the breast tissue prepares to produce milk.&lt;/p&gt;
  11305. &lt;p&gt;And shortly after birth they will start to produce milk and become swollen, Dr Ward explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  11306. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you choose to breast feed or not, it is likely that the shape, size and way your breasts look and feel will be different after pregnancy compared to before,&amp;#8221; she added.&lt;/p&gt;
  11307. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is not a problem but it is important that we do learn what the new normal is for our breasts so we can stay breast aware and pick up and changes that could be cancer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11308. &lt;/div&gt;
  11309. &lt;/div&gt;
  11310. &lt;/div&gt;
  11311.  
  11312.  
  11313.  
  11314. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “So beautifully said!! There’s nothing wrong with anyone’s postpartum body. It’s amazing what our bodies can do.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11315.  
  11316.  
  11317.  
  11318. &lt;p&gt;A third commented: “I love this video, so proud of you for showing awareness.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11319.  
  11320.  
  11321.  
  11322. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “People are so mean! You are beautiful Caitlin, don&amp;#8217;t listen to them.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  11342. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange yesterday won a bid to appeal against his extradition to the US.&lt;/p&gt;
  11343.

  11355.  
  11356.  
  11357.  
  11358. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/julian-assange/&quot;&gt;Assange, 52&lt;/a&gt;, is accused of conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information following the leaking of hundreds of thousands of documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. &lt;/p&gt;
  11359.  
  11360.  
  11361.  
  11362. &lt;p&gt;At a hearing in February, his lawyers asked to challenge a previous dismissal of a case to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18315599/wikileaks-founder-julian-assange-extradited-america/&quot;&gt;stop extradition&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11363.  
  11364.  
  11365.  
  11366. &lt;p&gt;A final High Court decision was deferred until yesterday, after the US promised he will not face the death ­penalty and can rely on the right to free speech at any trial. &lt;/p&gt;
  11367.  
  11368.  
  11369.  
  11370. &lt;p&gt;Supporters cheered outside the London court as news filtered out that he can appeal. &lt;/p&gt;
  11371.  
  11372.  
  11373.  
  11374. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12427118/julian-assange-what-do/&quot;&gt;Assange’&lt;/a&gt;s wife Stella hailed “the right decision” then called on the US to drop the “shameful” case.&lt;/p&gt;
  11375.  
  11376.  
  11377.  
  11378. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12615849/stella-moris-julian-assange/&quot;&gt;The mother of two&lt;/a&gt; added: “How long can this go on for? &lt;/p&gt;
  11379.  
  11380.  
  11381.  
  11382. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our eldest son just turned seven.&lt;/p&gt;
  11383.  
  11384.  
  11385.  
  11386. &lt;p&gt;“All their memories of their father are in the visiting hall of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10718055/belmarsh-prison-famous-inmates/&quot;&gt;Belmarsh.&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;/p&gt;
  11387.  
  11388.  
  11389.  
  11390. &lt;p&gt;If successful, Assange may avoid extradition, though a US appeal would be likely.&lt;/p&gt;

  11422. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MORECAMBE&amp;#8217;S owner has been warned that the club faces a &amp;#8220;catastrophic outcome&amp;#8221; after a disastrous campaign that saw the club losing their ENTIRE squad except just five players.&lt;/p&gt;
  11423.  
  11424.  
  11425.  
  11426. &lt;p&gt;The Shrimps finished 15th in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-two/&quot;&gt;League Two&lt;/a&gt; table but were deducted three points for failing to pay players on time in August.&lt;/p&gt;
  11427.  
  11428.  
  11429.  
  11430. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031942&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/2024/05/morecambe-fc-players-celebrating-scoring-903275351.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031942&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Morecambe have lost their entire squad except for just five players&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  11431.  
  11432.  
  11433.  
  11434. &lt;p&gt;And not even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tyson-fury/&quot;&gt;Tyson Fury&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s sponsorship has saved his struggling hometown club from a string of problems this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  11435.  
  11436.  
  11437.  
  11438. &lt;p&gt;Since the club&amp;#8217;s disastrous season came to a close, manager Ged Brannan has left and become Accrington Stanley boss John Doolan&amp;#8217;s assistant.&lt;/p&gt;
  11439.  
  11440.  
  11441.  
  11442. &lt;p&gt;Chief executive Ben Sadler also left the Mazuma Stadium to take up the same post at Walsall.&lt;/p&gt;
  11443.  
  11444.  
  11445.  
  11446. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27867379/efl-morecambe-league-two-boxing-tyson-fury/&quot;&gt;Morecambe&lt;/a&gt; have been left depleted with only five players remaining in the first team.&lt;/p&gt;
  11447.  
  11448.  
  11449.  
  11450. &lt;p&gt;Those are Charlie Brown, Gwion Edwards, Stuart Moore, Kayden Harrack and Saul Fox-Akande.&lt;/p&gt;
  11451.  
  11452.  
  11453.  
  11454. &lt;p&gt;Brown was the only player left with a contract after the season with his deal running until 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  11455.  
  11456.  
  11457.  
  11458. &lt;p&gt;Edwards and Moore have agreed new deals until 2026 and 2025 respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  11459.  
  11460.  
  11461.  
  11462. &lt;p&gt;An extension has been triggered for Harrack until 2025 and a first professional contract was handed to Fox-Akande.&lt;/p&gt;
  11463.  
  11464.  
  11465.  
  11466. &lt;p&gt;The EFL club&amp;#8217;s chiefs are also waiting on JJ McKiernan&amp;#8217;s response to their latest contract offer.&lt;/p&gt;
  11467.  
  11468.  
  11469.  
  11470. &lt;p&gt;However, Morecambe saw a total of 16 players leaving the club at the end of the season.&lt;/p&gt;

  11489. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  11490.  
  11491.  
  11492.  
  11493. &lt;p&gt;Four of those players rejected new deals while the other 12 were not offered new terms.&lt;/p&gt;
  11494.  
  11495.  
  11496.  
  11497. &lt;p&gt;Farrend Rawson, David Tutonda, Donald Love and Joel Senior turned down a new contract.&lt;/p&gt;
  11498.  
  11499.  
  11500.  
  11501. &lt;p&gt;Adam Smith, Jacob Bedeau, Chris Stokes, Max Melbourne, Oscar Threlkeld, Jacob Davenport, Yann Songo’o, Jake Taylor, Brandon Barker, Cammy Smith, Jordy Hiwula and Jordan Slew were released.&lt;/p&gt;
  11502.  
  11503.  
  11504.  
  11505. &lt;p&gt;This devastating turn of events led to showdown talks between Morecambe owner Jason Whittingham and the board of directors, who urged him to sell.&lt;/p&gt;
  11506.  
  11507.  
  11508.  
  11509. &lt;p&gt;The board of directors also penned an open letter to Whittingham advising him to do business with a &amp;#8220;US-based potential buyer&amp;#8221; to save the club from potential extinction.&lt;/p&gt;
  11510.  
  11511.  
  11512.  
  11513. &lt;p&gt;It read: &amp;#8220;We are writing this open letter to reiterate what was said to you during the meeting we held with you today, during which you updated us on the critical matters of funding and the sale of the Football Club.&lt;/p&gt;
  11514.  
  11515.  
  11516.  
  11517. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Sadly, your future funding assurances have now failed to come to fruition so often that, in the absence of substantial funds from Bond Group landing in the Morecambe Football Club account, they come across as meaningless, and we must take them as such in order to be responsible.&lt;/p&gt;
  11518.  
  11519.  
  11520.  
  11521. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As for the Middle East-based potential buyer you first told us was interested in buying the Club approximately a year ago, you have provided no tangible evidence or introduction during this time to enable us to consider them serious or credible.&lt;/p&gt;
  11522.  
  11523.  
  11524.  
  11525. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You have one apparently serious offer on the table from a US-based potential buyer which, based on what we know, is the most credible which has been made since you placed the Club up for sale over 20 months ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  11526.  
  11527.  
  11528.  
  11529. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Please accept this second offer now, so that there is a chance that a sale might be completed, and a catastrophic outcome be avoided.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11570. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;STRICTLY Come Dancing, the glossy, jazz-handy, sequin-heavy staple of Saturday night television, faces the biggest crisis in its 20-year history.&lt;/p&gt;
  11571.  
  11572.  
  11573.  
  11574. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28022166/giovanni-pernice-anton-du-beke-strictly/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Should the BBC’s “evidence gathering” find against problematic dancer Giovanni Pernice,&lt;/a&gt; not only will it cause seismic shocks across the show, but the landscape for all other reality TV formats will be changed for ever.&lt;/p&gt;
  11575.

  11579.

  11583.  
  11584.  
  11585.  
  11586. &lt;p&gt;The cracks are already starting to show.&lt;/p&gt;
  11587.  
  11588.  
  11589.  
  11590. &lt;p&gt;Online, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28017387/strictly-winner-rose-ayling-ellis-distances-herself-giovanni-pernice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;you’re either Team Gio or Team Amanda&lt;/a&gt;. As was ever thus with social media tribalism, there is no in between.&lt;/p&gt;
  11591.  
  11592.  
  11593.  
  11594. &lt;p&gt;Largely, the housewives of Great Britain seem to think it impossible that their darling boy could do the things of which he stands accused.&lt;/p&gt;
  11595.  
  11596.  
  11597.  
  11598. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;One of which is stamping on Amanda Abbington’s foot. And on Sunday, Strictly &lt;span id=&quot;55ec2a8a-9a44-4b9d-9a62-87e8a699e92b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;make-up&lt;/span&gt; artist &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lisa-armstrong/&quot;&gt;Lisa Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; — Ant McPartlin’s ex’s — waded in, “liking” her pal Gio’s statement of denial.&lt;/p&gt;
  11599.  
  11600.  
  11601.  
  11602. &lt;p&gt;In it, Gio wrote: “You will be as surprised as I am that allegations have been made about my dance-teaching methods in the media this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  11603.  
  11604.  
  11605.  
  11606. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  11607. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  11608. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  11609. &lt;p&gt;Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu and Luba Mushtuk have all been supportive of Amanda’s recent Instagram posts.&lt;/p&gt;
  11610. &lt;/div&gt;
  11611. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  11612. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  11613.  
  11614.  
  11615.  
  11616. &lt;p&gt;“Of course, I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour, and I look forward to clearing my name.&lt;/p&gt;
  11617.  
  11618.  
  11619.  
  11620. &lt;p&gt;“Those who have followed my journey on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot;&gt;Strictly Come Dancing&lt;/a&gt; over the last decade will know I am passionate and competitive.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11621.  
  11622.  
  11623.  
  11624. &lt;p&gt;Another ex-Strictly contestant, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jamie-laing/&quot;&gt;Jamie Laing&lt;/a&gt;, who was runner-up in 2020, also liked the statement, and two of Gio’s previous partners, Debbie McGee and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/michelle-visage/&quot;&gt;Michelle Visage&lt;/a&gt;, have defended the star publicly.&lt;/p&gt;
  11625.  
  11626.  
  11627.  
  11628. &lt;p&gt;Judge &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/shirley-ballas/&quot;&gt;Shirley Ballas&lt;/a&gt; has previously also come out &lt;span id=&quot;ebd6dc4a-1984-4ea2-9649-3e165a487b24&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;swinging&lt;/span&gt;, describing the dancer as an “absolute gentleman”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11629.  
  11630.  
  11631.  
  11632. &lt;p&gt;Intriguingly, Gio’s fellow pros have been less effusive.&lt;/p&gt;

  11657.  
  11658.  
  11659. &lt;p&gt;But what of the other celebs who’ve been paired with him? Many remain eerily quiet.&lt;/p&gt;
  11660.  
  11661.  
  11662.  
  11663. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ranvir-singh/&quot;&gt;Ranvir Singh&lt;/a&gt;, we’re told, was deeply unhappy with her partner’s training methods and reportedly met up with Amanda and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/laura-whitmore/&quot;&gt;Laura Whitmore&lt;/a&gt; — the other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28009207/strictly-chaos-more-celebrities-legal-action-giovanni-pernice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;named legal complainant&lt;/a&gt; — to swap war stories.&lt;/p&gt;
  11664.  
  11665.  
  11666.  
  11667. &lt;p&gt;Yet the presenter still has one of her official Strictly photos as her Instagram profile pic. Her experience, then, couldn’t have been that haunting.&lt;/p&gt;
  11668.  
  11669.  
  11670.  
  11671. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Are we pandering to privileged celebrities?&lt;/h2&gt;
  11672.  
  11673.  
  11674.  
  11675. &lt;p&gt;And why did it take the &lt;span id=&quot;d37389b6-cc18-4e17-bcdc-ca7620a5d3f4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/span&gt; six months to launch a probe, after initial reports of a fall-out with Amanda emerged — and, crucially, given &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28002291/giovanni-pernice-addresses-fans-toxic-strictly-training/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gio’s public record of upsetting partners&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
  11676.  
  11677.  
  11678.  
  11679. &lt;p&gt;So what is the truth? Is Gio strict but fair — a &lt;span id=&quot;6a7d15cc-c1ac-4378-963c-0e36639f1315&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;taskmaster&lt;/span&gt;, not a bully?&lt;/p&gt;
  11680.  
  11681.  
  11682.  
  11683. &lt;p&gt;In reality, are we pandering to a bunch of privileged, oversanitised celebrities — whose idea of a hard day’s work is slapping on some stage make-up and learning a few lines?&lt;/p&gt;
  11684.  
  11685.  
  11686.  
  11687. &lt;p&gt;Never has a former professional athlete — used to hard graft and pushing their body to the extreme — complained about his or her experience on the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  11688.  
  11689.

  11692.  
  11693.  
  11694.  
  11695. &lt;p&gt;But whatever happens, there’s no way back for Giovanni on Strictly. And Strictly rules, surely, will be changed to the detriment of the winning formula.&lt;/p&gt;
  11696.  
  11697.  
  11698.  
  11699. &lt;p&gt;Will bosses be forced to reduce training hours to accommodate precious stars, for example?&lt;/p&gt;

  11711.  
  11712.  
  11713. &lt;p&gt;Certainly, cameras will now be recording their every move — on and off air, Big Brother-style.&lt;/p&gt;
  11714.  
  11715.  
  11716.  
  11717. &lt;p&gt;And if the Beeb finds against Giovanni, other broadcasters — who stream properly hardcore shows such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity/&quot;&gt;Celebrity&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sas-who-dares-wins/&quot;&gt;SAS: Who Dares Wins&lt;/a&gt;, Netflix’s new Bear Hunt or Special Forces: The Ultimate Test — will be bricking it.&lt;/p&gt;
  11718.  
  11719.  
  11720.  
  11721. &lt;p&gt;This could well be the end of Saturday night telly as we know it.&lt;/p&gt;
  11722.  
  11723.  
  11724.  
  11725. &lt;p&gt;I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong with King’s pic&lt;/p&gt;
  11726.  
  11727.  
  11728.  
  11729. &lt;p&gt;LOTS of furore this past week over artist Jonathan Yeo’s fiery portrait of the King.&lt;/p&gt;
  11730.  
  11731.  
  11732.  
  11733. &lt;p&gt;I quite like the work, right.&lt;/p&gt;
  11734.  
  11735.  
  11736.  
  11737. &lt;p&gt;My only real area of concern is Charles’s long, sausagey fingers. While we all know they rank pretty high up on the Wall’s Official Chart of Chipolata, they’re not giant bloody flippers as rendered here.&lt;/p&gt;
  11738.  
  11739.  
  11740.  
  11741. &lt;p&gt;Now the artist has come out to explain his latest work, revealing the butterfly above the King’s right shoulder, for example, “signifies metamorphosis and rebirth”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11742.  
  11743.  
  11744.  
  11745. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Not, as one critic claimed, to appease a five-year-old schoolgirl.&lt;/p&gt;
  11746.  
  11747.  
  11748.  
  11749. &lt;p&gt;Frankly, Charles had a lucky escape – an earlier Yeo picture of George W. Bush, below, was made from porn mags.&lt;/p&gt;
  11750.  
  11751.  
  11752.  
  11753. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Fiona&amp;#8217;s reality cheque&lt;/h2&gt;

  11758.  
  11759.  
  11760.  
  11761. &lt;p&gt;In least surprising &lt;span id=&quot;51360055-0004-4895-8896-66f1d58368d5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; of the week (granted, it’s only Tuesday), the “real Martha” from Baby Reindeer has more previous form for stalking.&lt;/p&gt;
  11762.  
  11763.  
  11764.  
  11765. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28011498/fiona-harvey-keir-starmer-emails-baby-reindeer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;5ef63e26-2954-4c7f-a00a-546d3caf659b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Fiona Harvey&lt;/span&gt; also bombarded &lt;span id=&quot;f63c7cb9-b05c-45ad-ab87-1a9ba5e4a66f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Sir Keir Starmer&lt;/span&gt; with a number of disturbing emails&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11766.  
  11767.  
  11768.  
  11769. &lt;p&gt;Evidently the Scottish antihero, whose interview with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/piers-morgan/&quot;&gt;Piers Morgan&lt;/a&gt; has been watched by more than ten million people, is fragile and riddled with issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  11770.  
  11771.  
  11772.  
  11773. &lt;p&gt;She’s being offered lucrative personal appearance fees left, right and centre, and doubtless could be appearing later this year on a TV ice rink or in the Australian jungle.&lt;/p&gt;
  11774.  
  11775.  
  11776.  
  11777. &lt;p&gt;She needs to hire a PR adviser now – one with her &lt;span id=&quot;706090fb-e3d7-4f21-a750-90eeb13d94f2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;best interests&lt;/span&gt; at heart, not just &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11778.

  11786.  
  11787.  
  11788.  
  11789. &lt;p&gt;The rapid, short-form, quick-fire nature of tomorrow’s generation – scrolling through one meme, reel or “story” then on to the &lt;span id=&quot;65700227-ede3-46ff-a5fa-1d2d0296afe8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; nanoseconds later, for hours on end – means this comes as no surprise.&lt;/p&gt;
  11790.  
  11791.  
  11792.  
  11793. &lt;p&gt;Increasingly we are all developing the attention spans of toddlers on E numbers, and more needs to be done to refocus collective young minds.&lt;/p&gt;

  11818.

  11864.  
  11865. &lt;p&gt;“She would be a perfect dog celebrity,” wrote Phil. “Let’s make her a STAR. I genuinely think she’d do well on Instagram, and we should probably make her her own meme account. I’d be her agent.&lt;/p&gt;

  11890.  
  11891.  
  11892.  
  11893. &lt;p&gt;According to the Victims And Citizens Association, women are safer, more cautious drivers. They’re right.&lt;/p&gt;
  11894.  
  11895.  
  11896.  
  11897. &lt;p&gt;However, in my experience – and it UTTERLY PAINS me to write it – the majority of men are better drivers than women.&lt;/p&gt;
  11898.  
  11899.  
  11900.  
  11901. &lt;p&gt;If I’m sighing in exasperation at an incompetent/slow/hesitant Sunday morning driver, and look in their rear-view mirror, seven times out of ten it’ll be a woman dawdling gormlessly behind the wheel.&lt;/p&gt;

  11939. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;IT was another season of so close yet so far for Arsenal.&lt;/p&gt;
  11940.  
  11941.  
  11942.  
  11943. &lt;p&gt;The Gunners believed this was the year they were going to end their 20-year wait for a league title &amp;#8211; but inevitably Manchester City fought back to make history as the first team to win it four times in a row.&lt;/p&gt;
  11944.  
  11945.  
  11946.  
  11947. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030322&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/2024/05/mikel-arteta-manager-arsenal-acknowledges-902928993.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030322&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;648&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Mikel Arteta could axe several stars this summer[/caption]
  11948.  
  11949.

  11951. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030333&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/2024/05/aaron-ramsdale-arsenal-reacts-premier-885738018.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030333&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;Aaron Ramsdale could be on the way out amid interest from two clubs[/caption]
  11952.  
  11953.  
  11954.  
  11955. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030350&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/2024/05/thomas-partey-arsenal-looks-premier-902900782.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030350&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;Thomas Partey has also been tipped to leave[/caption]
  11956.  
  11957.  
  11958.  
  11959. &lt;p&gt;Both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; and Pep Guardiola&amp;#8217;s machines failed to win just ten games in the Premier League this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  11960.  
  11961.  
  11962.  
  11963. &lt;p&gt;But with two points in it, the title will stay at the Etihad for another year.&lt;/p&gt;
  11964.  
  11965.  
  11966.  
  11967. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28022848/arsenal-title-hunt-inside-mikel-arteta-tactics/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mikel Arteta&lt;/a&gt; bolstered his side last summer with the arrival of Declan Rice and perhaps Arsenal are just a few more key signings away from ending City&amp;#8217;s dominance.&lt;/p&gt;
  11968.  
  11969.  
  11970.  
  11971. &lt;p&gt;Ahead of a huge transfer window, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;SunSport&lt;/a&gt; take a look at which members of the squad should stay or be sold this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  11972.  
  11973.  
  11974.  
  11975. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DAVID RAYA – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11976.  
  11977.  
  11978.  
  11979. &lt;p&gt;Initial doubts arose when he replaced Aaron Ramsdale, but he has since proven himself to be a world-class keeper with all the attributes needed for Arteta’s way of playing.&lt;/p&gt;
  11980.  
  11981.  
  11982.  
  11983. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal are expected to make his initial £3m loan spell permanent for £27m this summer with a view to him being their long-term No.1.&lt;/p&gt;
  11984.  
  11985.  
  11986.  
  11987. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AARON RAMSDALE – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11988.  
  11989.  
  11990.

  11992.  
  11993.  
  11994.  
  11995. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunate to be cast aside for Raya, but is now looking for a move to become a regular No.1 elsewhere, especially with his aspirations of one day starting in goal for England.&lt;/p&gt;
  11996.  
  11997.  
  11998.  
  11999. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27994181/aaron-ramsdale-newcastle-transfer-news-arsenal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Newcastle are interested&lt;/a&gt;, but negotiations over the 26-year-old’s valuation are ongoing, with him having joined from Sheffield United in 2021 for £30m.&lt;/p&gt;

  12032. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KAI HAVERTZ endured a difficult start to life at the Emirates after his big-money move from Chelsea.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12033. &lt;p&gt;But has now well and truly found his feet.&lt;/p&gt;
  12034. &lt;p&gt;The German, 24, has found his scoring boots in recent weeks, including his double against his old club.&lt;/p&gt;
  12035. &lt;p&gt;But Havertz has been providing much more than goals in recent months.&lt;/p&gt;
  12036. &lt;p&gt;In fact he has become Mikel Arteta’s most important player as Arsenal go for the title.&lt;/p&gt;
  12037. &lt;p&gt;That’s after the Spanish boss made a genius tactical switch.&lt;/p&gt;
  12038. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Read more on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27516210/arsenal-news-mikel-arteta-tactics-kai-havertz-important-player/&quot;&gt;how Mikel Arteta is using Kai Havertz&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12039. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Or to watch the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_CzvT8-GHc&amp;amp;ab_channel=TheSunSport&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;brilliant video in full on YouTube&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12040. &lt;/div&gt;
  12041. &lt;/div&gt;
  12042. &lt;/div&gt;
  12043.  
  12044.  
  12045.  
  12046. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KARL HEIN – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12047.  
  12048.  
  12049.  
  12050. &lt;p&gt;Unlikely to take Ramsdale’s spot as No.2 should the Englishman depart &amp;#8211; but the club cannot afford to lose two keepers in one window.&lt;/p&gt;
  12051.  
  12052.  
  12053.  
  12054. &lt;p&gt;However, the 22-year-old could do with a loan move in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;
  12055.  
  12056.  
  12057.  
  12058. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WILLIAM SALIBA – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  12062. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/william-saliba/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Saliba&lt;/a&gt; is of the best young defenders in the world right now, Arteta should be building his team around him. A vital part of the side’s spine that conceded just 29 Prem goals this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  12063.  
  12064.  
  12065.  
  12066. &lt;p&gt;Signed a new four-year deal until 2027 last July.&lt;/p&gt;
  12067.  
  12068.  
  12069.  
  12070. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEN WHITE – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12071.  
  12072.  
  12073.  
  12074. &lt;p&gt;Another solid member of Arteta’s impressive back four. Has the flexibility to play on the right or as a central defender, but has made right-back his own this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  12075.  
  12076.  
  12077.  
  12078. &lt;p&gt;Also extended his stay at the Emirates until 2028 back in March.&lt;/p&gt;
  12079.  
  12080.  
  12081.  
  12082. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GABRIEL – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12083.  
  12084.  
  12085.  
  12086. &lt;p&gt;Was on the outskirts at the start of the campaign but forced his way back in and has forged an almighty partnership with Saliba in the middle of the defence.&lt;/p&gt;
  12087.  
  12088.  
  12089.  
  12090. &lt;p&gt;One of Arteta’s most important signings back in September 2020 for around £23m and is under contract until 2027.&lt;/p&gt;
  12091.  
  12092.  
  12093.  
  12094. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/the-sun-22-23-transfer-auto-0c270685-657f-4b6a-9318-d02242019b47.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030479&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  12095.  
  12096.  
  12097.  
  12098. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JURRIEN TIMBER – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12099.  
  12100.  
  12101.  
  12102. &lt;p&gt;Yet to see the best of the Dutchman in an Arsenal shirt due to injury but he is set to take the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Prem&lt;/a&gt; by storm next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  12103.  
  12104.  
  12105.  
  12106. &lt;p&gt;Arteta views him as a real game-changing full-back with his ability on the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  12107.  
  12108.  
  12109.  
  12110. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JAKUB KIWIOR – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12111.  
  12112.  
  12113.  
  12114. &lt;p&gt;The Polish international has struggled to break up the duo of Saliba and Gabriel but has impressed when called upon, especially in a stint at left-back.&lt;/p&gt;
  12115.  
  12116.  
  12117.  
  12118. &lt;p&gt;A vital squad player that provides real depth and assurance.&lt;/p&gt;
  12119.  
  12120.  
  12121.  
  12122. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CEDRIC – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12123.  
  12124.  
  12125.  
  12126. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27909456/arsenal-transfer-elneny-cedric-soares/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leaving the club&lt;/a&gt; with his contract expiring. Never really convinced Arteta he could be relied upon and spent most of the season warming the bench.&lt;/p&gt;
  12127.  
  12128.  
  12129.  
  12130. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TAKEHIRO TOMIYASU – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12131.  
  12132.  
  12133.  
  12134. &lt;p&gt;Another flexible and reliable figure that Arteta adores, which is why he signed fresh terms until 2026 with the option of a further 12 months earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  12135.  
  12136.  
  12137.  
  12138. &lt;p&gt;Can play as a full-back or centre-back and adds real presence at set-pieces.&lt;/p&gt;
  12139.  
  12140.  
  12141.  
  12142. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OLEKSANDR ZINCHENKO – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12143.  
  12144.  
  12145.  
  12146. &lt;p&gt;With &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jurrien-timber/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Timber&lt;/a&gt; in line to be Arteta’s first choice at left-back, it is hard to see the Ukrainian starting many games for Arsenal next season, something he may find tough to accept.&lt;/p&gt;
  12147.  
  12148.  
  12149.  
  12150. &lt;p&gt;A valued member and a good £35m signing from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester City&lt;/a&gt; in the summer of 2022 but has shown to be limited defensively at times.&lt;/p&gt;
  12151.  
  12152.  
  12153.  
  12154. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/the-sun-22-23-transfer-auto-8a94833e-db21-436c-96ab-bfb921cb4756.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030441&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  12155.  
  12156.  
  12157.  
  12158. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THOMAS PARTEY – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12159.  
  12160.  
  12161.  
  12162. &lt;p&gt;Injury prone and has looked leggy when finally back from his thigh issues that kept him out from October until March.&lt;/p&gt;
  12163.  
  12164.  
  12165.  
  12166. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27903313/saudi-pro-league-transfer-man-utd-fernandes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Interest from Saudi&lt;/a&gt; means Arsenal could cash in on the 30-year-old with his contract running out next summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  12167.  
  12168.  
  12169.  
  12170. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MARTIN ODEGAARD – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12171.  
  12172.  
  12173.  
  12174. &lt;p&gt;Captain fantastic. A real leader amongst men at such a young age. The 25-year-old is on course to lift the Prem at Arsenal sooner rather than later.&lt;/p&gt;
  12175.  
  12176.  
  12177.  
  12178. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EMILE SMITH ROWE – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12179.  
  12180.  
  12181.  
  12182. &lt;p&gt;Sidelined for most of the term and struggled to make an impact when called upon, but Arteta still sees something in him.&lt;/p&gt;
  12183.  
  12184.  
  12185.  
  12186. &lt;p&gt;A decent squad option but you get the feeling he is running out of time to prove to the club he is a player worth sticking with.&lt;/p&gt;
  12187.  
  12188.  
  12189.  
  12190. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JORGINHO – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12191.  
  12192.  
  12193.  
  12194. &lt;p&gt;Arteta’s experienced general that often has Arsenal playing better with him in the team. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27816576/jorginho-arteta-prem-title-arsenal-deal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Signed a new one-year rolling deal&lt;/a&gt; recently, rewarded for his influence on the squad.&lt;/p&gt;
  12195.  
  12196.  
  12197.  
  12198. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FABIO VIEIRA – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12199.  
  12200.  
  12201.  
  12202. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps harsh to judge him based on just 16 appearances in all competitions this season but still looks out of place in English &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; since signing from Porto in June 2022 for £34m.&lt;/p&gt;
  12203.  
  12204.  
  12205.  
  12206. &lt;p&gt;A loan move away could help if Arsenal are struggling to recoup what they paid for him Saliba’s development away from the club a good example of how things can turnaround.&lt;/p&gt;
  12207.  
  12208.  
  12209.  
  12210. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MOHAMED ELNENY – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12211.  
  12212.  
  12213.  
  12214. &lt;p&gt;Another player departing with his contract expiring. The right call by both parties. A good servant from the Arsene Wenger days.&lt;/p&gt;
  12215.  
  12216.  
  12217.  
  12218. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KAI HAVERTZ – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12219.  
  12220.  
  12221.  
  12222. &lt;p&gt;Seems a bargain now at £65m from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196660/chelsea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; following his barnstorming end to the season. Arteta bought him as a midfielder, yet now leads the line as a first-choice No.9.&lt;/p&gt;
  12223.  
  12224.  
  12225.  
  12226. &lt;p&gt;Interesting to see how Arsenal’s pursuit of a striker this summer will impact that.&lt;/p&gt;
  12227.  
  12228.  
  12229.  
  12230. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/the-sun-22-23-transfer-auto-d2897e32-f820-4321-a6d9-1849a9ccd1e2.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030405&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  12231.  
  12232.  
  12233.  
  12234. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DECLAN RICE – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12235.  
  12236.  
  12237.  
  12238. &lt;p&gt;Arsenal’s most important and influential signing in years. Enough said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12239.  
  12240.  
  12241.  
  12242. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUKAYO SAKA – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12243.  
  12244.  
  12245.  
  12246. &lt;p&gt;An undroppable superstar for club and country right now. Will undoubtedly get even better in seasons to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  12247.  
  12248.  
  12249.  
  12250. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GABRIEL JESUS – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12251.  
  12252.  
  12253.  
  12254. &lt;p&gt;Fighting for a starting spot but right now but would be foolish to let him go given how much he can impact games and his winning mentality inside the group.&lt;/p&gt;
  12255.  
  12256.  
  12257.  
  12258. &lt;p&gt;Would take a ridiculous offer for Arsenal to consider selling him, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gabriel-jesus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jesus&lt;/a&gt; is more than happy in North London right now.&lt;/p&gt;
  12259.  
  12260.  
  12261.  
  12262. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GABRIEL MARTINELLI – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12263.  
  12264.  
  12265.  
  12266. &lt;p&gt;A dip in form this term but Arteta has huge faith in him. The added competition with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/leandro-trossard/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leandro Trossard&lt;/a&gt; will only make him better.&lt;/p&gt;
  12267.  
  12268.  
  12269.  
  12270. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDDIE NKETIAH – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12271.  
  12272.  
  12273.  
  12274. &lt;p&gt;Nketiah’s career is at a crossroads right now and he needs to leave to turn that around.&lt;/p&gt;
  12275.  
  12276.  
  12277.  
  12278. &lt;p&gt;The only issue are his six-figure wages which could put potential suitors off. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196666/crystal-palace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196655/west-ham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;West Ham&lt;/a&gt; have been interested in the past.&lt;/p&gt;
  12279.  
  12280.  
  12281.  
  12282. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEANDRO TROSSARD – STAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12283.  
  12284.  
  12285.  
  12286. &lt;p&gt;Can bring his qualities as a starter or from the bench – a brilliant option to have when you are going for a title, evidenced by his 12 Prem goals this campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
  12287.  
  12288.  
  12289.  
  12290. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REISS NELSON – GO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12291.  
  12292.  
  12293.  
  12294. &lt;p&gt;Arteta has often spoken of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/reiss-nelson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nelson&lt;/a&gt;’s potential and likes having him around the squad, but his impact has withered over the past 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;
  12295.  
  12296.  
  12297.  
  12298. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/the-sun-22-23-transfer-auto-cd944159-68e6-40ed-9cd4-e10d74a9bf3a.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030425&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;</content:encoded>

  12312. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;MORE explosive emails sent by Baby Reindeer’s ‘real-life’ stalker Fiona Harvey to Sir Keir Starmer can be revealed &amp;#8211; as she vows to sue Netflix for £11million.&lt;/p&gt;
  12313.  
  12314.  
  12315.  
  12316. &lt;p&gt;The Sun is tonight exclusively &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28011498/fiona-harvey-keir-starmer-emails-baby-reindeer/&quot;&gt;revealing more of the bombshell emails &lt;/a&gt;which show how the 58-year-old ‘stalker’ bombarded the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-leadership/&quot;&gt;Labour leader&lt;/a&gt; over an eight-month spree.&lt;/p&gt;

  12337.  
  12338.  
  12339.  
  12340. &lt;p&gt;It comes as we can also reveal Ms Harvey was officially reported to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; over her harassment of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Keir&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12341.  
  12342.  
  12343.  
  12344. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on our exclusive show, The Sun’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TV &lt;/a&gt;expert Jess Lester said: “These emails are obviously damning.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12345.  
  12346.  
  12347.  
  12348. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/fiona-harvey/&quot;&gt;Ms Harvey&lt;/a&gt; bombarded Sir Keir with the onslaught of chilling emails between January and August 2020 &amp;#8211; after she supposedly stalked comedian &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27991993/baby-reindeer-fiona-harvey-richard-gadd-never/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Richard Gadd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12349.  
  12350.  
  12351.  
  12352. &lt;p&gt;In one, she brands his wife “ugly” and makes a derogatory slur against his late mum.&lt;/p&gt;
  12353.  
  12354.  
  12355.  
  12356. &lt;p&gt;In another, she calls Sir Keir a “nefarious little creep”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12357.  
  12358.  
  12359.  
  12360. &lt;p&gt;The Sun is unable to publish large swathes of the dossier of 276 emails due to their explicit nature. &lt;/p&gt;
  12361.  
  12362.  
  12363.  
  12364. &lt;p&gt;They are all written in ‘Martha’s’ trademark style &amp;#8211; littered with punctuation and spelling mistakes, with few full stops and a line space between each sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  12365.  
  12366.  
  12367.  
  12368. &lt;p&gt;The emails are signed off: “Sent from my iPhone”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12369.  
  12370.  
  12371.  
  12372. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;Crime&lt;/a&gt; Editor Mike Sullivan said: “These messages are menacing and contain rude references to his wife and about his family.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12373.  
  12374.  
  12375.  
  12376. &lt;p&gt;In one message seen by The Sun, Ms Harvey, the inspiration for the character Martha in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28011498/fiona-harvey-keir-starmer-emails-baby-reindeer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Baby Reindeer&lt;/a&gt;, said: &amp;#8220;Keir cut the crap with me you stupid little boy.&lt;/p&gt;

  12406.  
  12407. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You get elected leader of. Non party and within two minutes I get an email calling me a racist from the housing ombudsman I&amp;#8217;ve already complained about you to the standards commissioner who guess what also does nothing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12408.  
  12409.  
  12410.  
  12411. &lt;p&gt;She even gloated over the deaths of two of his relatives and used a disabled slur to abuse his wife Victoria.&lt;/p&gt;
  12412.  
  12413.  
  12414.  
  12415. &lt;p&gt;The sickening messages were reported to cops in November 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  12416.  
  12417.  
  12418.  
  12419. &lt;p&gt;The case was referred to the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC) — a joint unit run by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Met Police&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; which deals with obsessives who have a fixation with politicians and the royals.&lt;/p&gt;
  12420.  
  12421.  
  12422.  
  12423. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “There was no suggestion of any physical danger, but it was felt the police should be made aware of the large volume of emails so the individual could receive help.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12424.  
  12425.  
  12426.  
  12427. &lt;p&gt;It is unclear if action was taken over Ms Harvey’s referral, but psychiatric checks were carried out.&lt;/p&gt;
  12428.  
  12429.  
  12430.  
  12431. &lt;p&gt;The Met said the harassment case remains “under review” by specialist officers.&lt;/p&gt;
  12432.  
  12433.  
  12434.  
  12435. &lt;p&gt;Stalking expert and ex-Met cop Hamish Brown said the specialist unit “ensures a person is not a risk to themselves or others”.&lt;/p&gt;

  12453. THE whole internet is lapping up Baby Reindeer, but when did the alleged incidents actually take place. &lt;/p&gt;
  12454. &lt;div&gt;
  12455. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2013&lt;/strong&gt;: It is understood &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27991993/baby-reindeer-fiona-harvey-richard-gadd-never/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Richard Gadd&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s ordeal took place &amp;#8220;six years&amp;#8221; before his one-man play of the same name.&lt;/p&gt;
  12456. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2019&lt;/strong&gt;: Baby Reindeer starts out as a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.&lt;/p&gt;
  12457. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January-August 2020&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/fiona-harvey/&quot;&gt;Fiona Harvey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;sent Sir Keir Starmer a staggering 276 emails.&lt;/p&gt;
  12458. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;November 2021&lt;/strong&gt;: Ms Harvey reported to the Metropolitan Police over dossier of emails sent to Sir Keir.&lt;/p&gt;
  12459. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2024&lt;/strong&gt;: The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27927405/baby-reindeer-martha-fiona-harvey-interview/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; show about comedian&amp;nbsp;Gadd&amp;#8217;s character Donny being stalked by &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27592197/fiona-harvey-baby-reindeer-real-life-martha-stalker/&quot;&gt;Martha Scott&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; hits our screens.&lt;/p&gt;
  12460. &lt;/div&gt;
  12461. &lt;/div&gt;
  12462. &lt;/div&gt;
  12463.  
  12464.  
  12465.  
  12466. &lt;p&gt;Ms Harvey, of Fyvie, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/aberdeenshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Aberdeenshire&lt;/a&gt;, now claims to be suing Netflix for £11million.&lt;/p&gt;
  12467.  
  12468.  
  12469.  
  12470. &lt;p&gt;The Sun’s Jess Lester said: “We’ve seen the kind of emails and voice messages Richard Gadd was getting from Fiona, and the tone, and how chilling and cold and aggressive they can be.&lt;/p&gt;
  12471.  
  12472.  
  12473.  
  12474. &lt;p&gt;“Seeing the emails to Keir, it makes perfect sense that this was the kind of messages he would be receiving.&lt;/p&gt;
  12475.  
  12476.  
  12477.  
  12478. &lt;p&gt;“The &lt;span id=&quot;c57be1fe-33e9-433a-95d0-2eacaad065a4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;real life&lt;/span&gt; Martha, Fiona came out last week and said it [Baby Reindeer] wasn’t true.&lt;/p&gt;
  12479.  
  12480.  
  12481.  
  12482. &lt;p&gt;“What we’re seeing here is more evidence against her building.&lt;/p&gt;
  12483.  
  12484.  
  12485.  
  12486. &lt;p&gt;“She’s saying she wants to sue Netflix, unfortunately perhaps this is backfiring. There’s more evidence to suggest that she did do what Richard Gadd and Netflix have portrayed her of having done.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12487.  
  12488.  
  12489.  
  12490. &lt;p&gt;Miss Lester also accused Ms Harvey of “cashing in” by threatening to sue Netflix.&lt;/p&gt;
  12491.  
  12492.  
  12493.  
  12494. &lt;p&gt;“She’s jumping on the bandwagon now she knows she has people on her side,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12495.  
  12496.  
  12497.  
  12498. &lt;p&gt;In an interview with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/piers-morgan/&quot;&gt;Piers Morgan&lt;/a&gt; this month, Harvey admitted having four phones and six email addresses, but denied ever hounding Mr Gadd, the show&amp;#8217;s creator.&lt;/p&gt;

  12515.  
  12516.  
  12517.  
  12518. &lt;p&gt;Responding tonight about claims she was reported to cops, Ms Harvey said: “It’s a lot of rubbish and I’m not going to be making a comment.”&lt;/p&gt;

  12532. HUNDREDS of emails were to sent to Sir Keir Starmer over an eight-month spree in 2020. &lt;/p&gt;
  12533. &lt;div&gt;
  12534. &lt;p&gt;Many emails had Sir Keir’s name first in the ‘To’ field, often followed by Camden council officials or councillors.&lt;/p&gt;
  12535. &lt;p&gt;Many made reference to Sir Keir directly.&lt;/p&gt;
  12536. &lt;p&gt;Some copied in her MP, Labour’s Tulip Siddiq, who was also abused.&lt;/p&gt;
  12537. &lt;p&gt;In some, Harvey, who studied law, makes disparaging references to Sir Keir’s former Doughty Street Chambers, which he co-founded in 1990.&lt;/p&gt;
  12538. &lt;p&gt;She also ranted repeatedly about the state of the Labour Party.&lt;/p&gt;
  12539. &lt;p&gt;On April 8, 2020, in a 1,420-word email to Starmer — copied to a list of others — Harvey said Labour’s shadow cabinet was “full if imbeciles yes men”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12540. &lt;p&gt;She suggested a deal had been done where unions backed Starmer for leader “and in return you get that imbecile Angela rayner as depute”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12541. &lt;p&gt;The email added: “If you asked good scottish shrinks to examine starmer and his henchmen they would find none of them sane.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12542. &lt;p&gt;The emails came in the first lockdown, and a period where he had stood for the Labour leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
  12543. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;Non job&amp;#8217;&lt;br /&gt;An email of March 27, 2020 — sent to Sir Keir and with SNP MP Pete Wishart copied in — made homophobic references about Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.&lt;/p&gt;
  12544. &lt;p&gt;On April 4, 2020 — the day Sir Keir became Labour leader — she congratulated him on his “fourth of fifth non job”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12545. &lt;p&gt;The email added: “You have ignored me” and called him a “free loader on the public purse”.&lt;/p&gt;
  12546. &lt;p&gt;It ended: “Ignore typos I’m A professional Senior scottish professionals do not type We just run the country behind the scenes”&lt;/p&gt;
  12547. &lt;p&gt;On April 6, 2020 — the day after then-PM Boris Johnson went to hospital with Covid — Harvey emailed Sir Keir claiming she knew Stanley Johnson, Boris’s dad.&lt;/p&gt;
  12548. &lt;p&gt;She wrote: “Keir your grotty wee c***s if animal supporters need to wind their Fg necks in slagging off boris on twitter.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12549. &lt;p&gt;Harvey also tore into Boris on May 10, 2020, when his 7pm TV speech announced plans to re-open society.&lt;/p&gt;
  12550. &lt;p&gt;She wrote: “Boris will make a tit of himself in telly at seven My chicken dinner ready bang on seven He’s not cut out for public office at all He’s an eton t**t”&lt;/p&gt;
  12551. &lt;/div&gt;

  12573. &lt;p&gt;In a typically badly spelt message she wrote: &amp;#8220;Hundreds of people live round here. The Bengali mafia the air B and B mafia etc etc Noone clappedc&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12574. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;I wanted to take this video to show you how no one does anything round here bar me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12575. &lt;p&gt;She also sent Sir Keir and others an email with a video of a man appearing to stack items on the pavement near her block of flats.&lt;/p&gt;
  12576. &lt;p&gt;She is heard saying: &amp;#8220;This is for the newspapers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12597. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;AMANDA Holden has been caught on camera with her mum Judith &amp;#8211; who could almost pass for her sister. &lt;/p&gt;
  12598.  
  12599.  
  12600.  
  12601. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/britains-got-talent/&quot;&gt;Britain&amp;#8217;s Got Talent&lt;/a&gt; judge, 53, was filmed at this year&amp;#8217;s RHS Chelsea Flower Show alongside Judith and they both oozed glamour. &lt;/p&gt;

  12614.  
  12615.  
  12616.  
  12617. &lt;p&gt;Amanda wore a stunning red and white floral dress to the horticultural event, while Judith opted for a smart white trouser suit with pink chiffon scarf. &lt;/p&gt;
  12618.  
  12619.  
  12620.  
  12621. &lt;p&gt;While in SW3, the mother and daughter duo were filmed for the BBC2 RHS &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/chelsea-flower-show/&quot;&gt;Chelsea Flower Show&lt;/a&gt; round-up programme and they had a good laugh together on screen. &lt;/p&gt;
  12622.  
  12623.  
  12624.  
  12625. &lt;p&gt;Amanda was quick to recall her childhood with her younger sister Debbie and they both dissolved into giggles a the memory. &lt;/p&gt;
  12626.  
  12627.  
  12628.  
  12629. &lt;p&gt;The Heart Breakfast radio host told the cameras: &amp;#8220;My biggest memory of our garden growing up was that my mum would chuck us out into the garden to play and we would bury all of her cutlery and crockery. &lt;/p&gt;
  12630.  
  12631.  
  12632.  
  12633. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;d let us do it just to keep us quiet, really.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12634.  
  12635.  
  12636.  
  12637. &lt;p&gt;Judith jokingly replied: &amp;#8220;Unfortunately they didn&amp;#8217;t grow to be more silverware!&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  12638.  
  12639.  
  12640.  
  12641. &lt;p&gt;Chuckling with her mum, Amanda exclaimed: &amp;#8220;Exactly!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12642.  
  12643.  
  12644.  
  12645. &lt;p&gt;Amanda has a close bond with Judith, despite living miles away from her. &lt;/p&gt;
  12646.  
  12647.  
  12648.  
  12649. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/14045129/who-are-amanda-holdens-parents/&quot;&gt;Judith is based in Cornwall &lt;/a&gt;with Amanda&amp;#8217;s stepfather Leslie Collistor but they try to see each other as often as they can. &lt;/p&gt;
  12650.  
  12651.  
  12652.  
  12653. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, Judith made another appearance on the small screen alongside Amanda &amp;#8211; this time in her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; show with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alan-carr/&quot;&gt;Alan Carr&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  12675.  
  12676. &lt;p&gt;Judith flew to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196719/italy/&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt; to help Amanda and Alan choose plants for the garden of the property they were renovating for Amanda &amp;amp; Alan&amp;#8217;s Italian Job &amp;#8211; and she quickly told her eldest daughter off. &lt;/p&gt;
  12677.  
  12678.  
  12679.  
  12680. &lt;p&gt;As they headed into a garden centre, Amanda briskly told her her mum to &amp;#8220;come on&amp;#8221;. Judith quickly scolded: &amp;#8220;So bossy, Amanda.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12681.  
  12682.  
  12683.  
  12684. &lt;p&gt;Amanda admitted: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve always been bossy. Alan says I&amp;#8217;m very bossy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12685.  
  12686.  
  12687.  
  12688. &lt;p&gt;Proving exactly why Judith was the perfect person to accompany her to the Chelsea Flower Show, Amanda told the cameras in Italy: &amp;#8220;I actually have no clue what I&amp;#8217;m doing in the garden, and my mum has definitely got green fingers. &lt;/p&gt;
  12689.  
  12690.  
  12691.  
  12692. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Her garden in Cornwall is like, you would buy a ticket to see it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  12723. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;LABOUR would usher in “self-ID by the back door” under proposals to let people change gender more easily, campaigners warned last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  12724.  
  12725.  
  12726.  
  12727. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Sir Keir Starmer&lt;/a&gt; was slammed over plans to water down requirements for people to switch legal identity.&lt;/p&gt;
  12728.  
  12729.  
  12730.  
  12731. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030878&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/2024/05/crop-27222002-1.webp?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030878&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;639&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Labour would usher in &amp;#8216;self ID by the back door&amp;#8217; under proposals to let people change gender more easily&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  12732.  
  12733.  
  12734.  
  12735. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031068&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/outside-scottish-parliament-morning-rally-766104683.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031068&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;News Group Newspapers Ltd&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Helen Joyce, of Sex Matters, hit out at the plans[/caption]
  12736.  
  12737.  
  12738.  
  12739. &lt;p&gt;The party is considering letting individual GPs sign off gender recognition certificates — replacing a panel of specialists.&lt;/p&gt;
  12740.  
  12741.  
  12742.  
  12743. &lt;p&gt;It believes it is “dehumanising” for a committee of expert doctors and lawyers to decide if someone has gender dysphoria.&lt;/p&gt;
  12744.  
  12745.  
  12746.  
  12747. &lt;p&gt;MPs and campaign groups rapped the plans saying they spell “disaster” for women and girls. &lt;/p&gt;
  12748.  
  12749.  
  12750.  
  12751. &lt;p&gt;Helen Joyce, of Sex Matters, said: “Granting a gender recognition certificate on the say-so of a single &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp/&quot;&gt;GP&lt;/a&gt;, rather than a specialist panel, is self-ID by the back door.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12752.  
  12753.  
  12754.  
  12755. &lt;p&gt;Equalities Minister &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kemi-badenoch/&quot;&gt;Kemi Badenoch&lt;/a&gt; said: &amp;#8220;This just shows that Labour have learned nothing about the way people seek to abuse the system.&lt;/p&gt;
  12756.  
  12757.  
  12758.  
  12759. &lt;p&gt;“These changes would lead to more people in prisons self-IDing to get access to vulnerable women, and more males seeking to access women’s-only spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
  12760.  
  12761.  
  12762.  
  12763. &lt;p&gt;“They should stop trying to weaponise this issue and allow professionals to do their job properly.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12764.  
  12765.  
  12766.

  12847.  
  12848.  
  12849.  
  12850. &lt;p&gt;A pot of orchids was slashed from £7 to only £1.75 as well as Spathiphyllum, which normally retails for £5.&lt;/p&gt;
  12851.  
  12852.

  12902.  
  12903.  
  12904.

  12917. &lt;p&gt;Sun Savers Editor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/lana-clements/&quot;&gt;Lana Clements&lt;/a&gt; explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…&lt;/p&gt;
  12918. &lt;p&gt;You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture. &lt;/p&gt;
  12919. &lt;p&gt;Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout. &lt;/p&gt;
  12920. &lt;p&gt;Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you’ll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.&lt;/p&gt;
  12921. &lt;p&gt;Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.&lt;/p&gt;
  12922. &lt;p&gt;And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas. &lt;/p&gt;
  12923. &lt;p&gt;If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days. &lt;/p&gt;
  12924. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount. &lt;/p&gt;
  12925. &lt;p&gt;And always check if you can get cashback before paying. &lt;/p&gt;
  12926. &lt;p&gt;It’s especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you’ll get a nice kickback.&lt;/p&gt;
  12927. &lt;/div&gt;
  12928. &lt;/div&gt;

  12934.  
  12935.  
  12936.  
  12937. &lt;p&gt;Having a peace lily in your home can work similarly to a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/24335980/shoppers-rush-1-gadget-avoid-putting-heating-on/&quot;&gt;dehumidifier&lt;/a&gt;, sucking extra moisture out of the air &amp;#8211; but they have the added bonus of being completely free to run.&lt;/p&gt;
  12938.  
  12939.  
  12940.  
  12941. &lt;p&gt;Plus houseplants like peace lilies emit oxygen and help clarify pollutants from the air in your home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  12946.  
  12947.  
  12948.  
  12949. &lt;p&gt;One of the easiest ways to avoid getting mould is to open your windows every day to let fresh air in and keep doors between rooms open.&lt;/p&gt;
  12950.  
  12951.  
  12952.  
  12953. &lt;p&gt;Ensuring that air continuously circulates through your home will reduce condensation so the mould cannot grow.&lt;/p&gt;
  12954.  
  12955.  
  12956.  
  12957. &lt;p&gt;You should also open cupboard doors regularly to allow fresh air in to make sure there&amp;#8217;s no mould growing inside.&lt;/p&gt;
  12958.  
  12959.  
  12960.  
  12961. &lt;p&gt;Other things that can help include not leaving your clothes to dry on radiators, and always &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cooking/&quot;&gt;cooking&lt;/a&gt; with ventilation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12962.

  12966.  
  12967.  
  12968.  
  12969. &lt;p&gt;You can seek out an expert and if you are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/renting/&quot;&gt;renting&lt;/a&gt; speak to your landlord about fixing the issue.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12981. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A WOMAN has revealed how she upstaged a bride at her own wedding after she playfully removed her shoes. &lt;/p&gt;
  12982.  
  12983.  
  12984.  
  12985. &lt;p&gt;She said that to this day — decades later — the married woman is still upset about the incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  12986.  
  12987.  
  12988.  
  12989. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031744&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.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/funny-expression-unhappy-bride-733031388.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031744&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;A Redditor has revealed how she upstaged the bride at her wedding, leading to her holding a grudge for decades (stock photo)[/caption]

  12991.  
  12992.  
  12993. &lt;p&gt;Redditor &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Ohiobornchick (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingshaming/comments/1csvy0m/i_stole_the_brides_thunder_during_her_wedding/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ohiobornchick&lt;/a&gt; opened up about the drama in a post on the social media platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  12994.  
  12995.  
  12996.  
  12997. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I stole the bride&amp;#8217;s thunder, during her wedding,&amp;#8221; she wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  12998.  
  12999.  
  13000.  
  13001. &lt;p&gt;She explained that the wedding snafu occurred within her own family during her aunt and uncle&amp;#8217;s ceremony. &lt;/p&gt;
  13002.  
  13003.  
  13004.  
  13005. &lt;p&gt;Nearly 50 years have gone by, but the bride still won&amp;#8217;t let her forget it.&lt;/p&gt;
  13006.  
  13007.  
  13008.  
  13009. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;WHAT HAPPENED?&lt;/h2&gt;
  13010.  
  13011.  
  13012.  
  13013. &lt;p&gt;The original poster explained that she was asked to be the flower girl at her aunt&amp;#8217;s wedding when she was just 4 years old. &lt;/p&gt;
  13014.  
  13015.  
  13016.  
  13017. &lt;p&gt;The chaos started early on in the matrimonial affair.&lt;/p&gt;
  13018.  
  13019.  
  13020.  
  13021. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;First, I didn&amp;#8217;t want to walk down the aisle,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;I was scared apparently.&lt;/p&gt;
  13022.

  13025. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Fortunately, my mom was a bridesmaid, so she said she would walk down with me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13027.

  13057.  
  13058.  
  13059.  
  13060. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then, to really show up the bride, I started waving to my twin cousins a few rows back. They are a year younger, and apparently were waving back, and we were trying to have a conversation. &lt;/p&gt;

  13116. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ONE thing that last month’s Cass Review made clear is that there is a case to be made for the diagnosis of gender dysphoria to be much stricter, more specialised, and objective.&lt;/p&gt;
  13117.  
  13118.  
  13119.  
  13120. &lt;p&gt;Why, then, is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; doing precisely the opposite by promoting a policy that would make the transition process even easier than it already is?&lt;/p&gt;
  13121.  
  13122.  
  13123.  
  13124. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030831&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/2024/05/labour-party-leader-keir-starmer-903268515.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030831&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;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Why is Labour promoting a policy that would make the transition process even easier than it already is?[/caption]

  13129.  
  13130.  
  13131.  
  13132. &lt;p&gt;Those working in so-called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27221277/hillary-cass-gender-transition-landmark-report/&quot;&gt;gender services&lt;/a&gt; have cautiously suggested that taking cross-sex hormones and under- going surgery on healthy body parts are all “last resort” actions.&lt;/p&gt;
  13133.  
  13134.  
  13135.  
  13136. &lt;p&gt;I would argue that such actions are more than just unnecessary — they are always the wrong course of action.&lt;/p&gt;
  13137.  
  13138.  
  13139.  
  13140. &lt;p&gt;We need only look at what happened in the early 2000s, when a small group of people were supported by a psychiatrist who fast-tracked them through to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6838299/150-autistic-children-sex-change-drugs-nhs-not-transgender/&quot;&gt;irreversible sex change treatments&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13141.  
  13142.  
  13143.  
  13144. &lt;p&gt;The GMC later found the doctor guilty of serious professional misconduct.&lt;/p&gt;
  13145.  
  13146.  
  13147.  
  13148. &lt;p&gt;No doubt these people were suffering from chronic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/6456875/body-dysmorphic-disorder-causes-symptoms-treated-bdd/&quot;&gt;body dysmorphia&lt;/a&gt;, but was surgery to remove healthy appendages really the way forward? &lt;/p&gt;
  13149.  
  13150.  
  13151.  
  13152. &lt;p&gt;Absolutely not.&lt;/p&gt;
  13153.  
  13154.  
  13155.  
  13156. &lt;p&gt;They were suffering from a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; condition, as are those who genuinely feel they are trapped in the wrong body.&lt;/p&gt;
  13157.  
  13158.  
  13159.  
  13160. &lt;p&gt;It is beyond belief that Labour now plans to make it easier than ever to access treatment, euphemistically known as “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27227826/nhs-treatment-kids-questioning-gender-wes-streeting/&quot;&gt;gender affirming care&lt;/a&gt;”, by allowing a single family GP to rubber-stamp the gender recognition process.&lt;/p&gt;
  13161.  
  13162.  
  13163.  
  13164. &lt;p&gt;Currently, a panel of doctors and lawyers have to sign off gender recognition certificates so that the individual can be legally recognised as the opposite sex to all intents and purposes. &lt;/p&gt;
  13165.  
  13166.  
  13167.  
  13168. &lt;p&gt;You don’t even need a GRC to change a driving licence or passport.&lt;/p&gt;

  13188.  
  13189.  
  13190.  
  13191. &lt;p&gt;It beggars belief that a family GP — who may be in the grip of transgender ideology, or could live in fear of being deemed “transphobic” by colleagues or some patients — could single-handedly endorse a legal sex change.&lt;/p&gt;
  13192.  
  13193.  
  13194.  
  13195. &lt;p&gt;A condition as complex as so-called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/6224614/gender-dysphoria-signs-condition-how-common/&quot;&gt;gender dysphoria&lt;/a&gt; is not something GPs are qualified to deal with.&lt;/p&gt;
  13196.  
  13197.  
  13198.  
  13199. &lt;p&gt;Any future government must consider whether or not the notions of living in the wrong body, and the availability of sex change treatment, should be entertained at all.&lt;/p&gt;
  13200.  
  13201.  
  13202.  
  13203. &lt;p&gt;Now the myth that withholding treat-ment including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery from a young person or adult can lead to suicide attempts has been thoroughly debunked, everyone can see that it is as pernicious as it is untrue.&lt;/p&gt;
  13204.  
  13205.  
  13206.  
  13207. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Falling for lies&lt;/h2&gt;
  13208.  
  13209.  
  13210.  
  13211. &lt;p&gt;In fact, there are studies showing the exact opposite — as the number of medical interventions increases, so does the incidence of depression and serious mental health problems.&lt;/p&gt;
  13212.  
  13213.  
  13214.  
  13215. &lt;p&gt;As the result of a huge backlash from feminists and other concerned citizens some time ago, Labour dropped the notion of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25188492/gender-self-identification-risks-women-grassroots-sport/&quot;&gt;self-identification&lt;/a&gt; — which would have meant that all anyone had to do to be accepted as being the opposite sex was declare themselves as such.&lt;/p&gt;
  13216.  
  13217.  
  13218.  
  13219. &lt;p&gt;It was pointed out that this would lead to the total destruction of single-sex services such as rape crisis centres, domestic violence refuges and hospital wards. &lt;/p&gt;
  13220.  
  13221.  
  13222.  
  13223. &lt;p&gt;Yet this new proposed amendment looks a lot like self-identification to me.&lt;/p&gt;
  13224.  
  13225.  
  13226.  
  13227. &lt;p&gt;What is to stop anyone going to a private GP — perhaps even one of those set up for the very purpose of prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones — and getting an instant sign-off for irreversible treatment?&lt;/p&gt;
  13228.  
  13229.  
  13230.  
  13231. &lt;p&gt;In the midst of a public backlash against this gender madness that is coming from leftists, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/conservative-party/&quot;&gt;Conservatives&lt;/a&gt; and everyone in between, Labour is backsliding.&lt;/p&gt;
  13232.  
  13233.  
  13234.  
  13235. &lt;p&gt;They need to be told that it is over — most UK citizens are no longer falling for these lies.&lt;/p&gt;
  13236.  
  13237.  
  13238.  
  13239. &lt;p&gt;As a lifelong Labour voter, my worry is that if even the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27243337/rod-liddle-cass-report-children-transitioning/&quot;&gt;Cass Review&lt;/a&gt; hasn’t forced party leaders into a massive retreat on what has been exposed as one of the greatest medical scandals of modern times, I don’t know what will.&lt;/p&gt;
  13240.  
  13241.  
  13242.  
  13243. &lt;p&gt;If Labour can be as stupid on this issue as it has been, it can be similarly stupid on other crucial matters.&lt;/p&gt;
  13244.  
  13245.  
  13246.  
  13247. &lt;p&gt;If the party is to earn the trust of the electorate, it must roll back on this ridiculous plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  13248.  
  13249.  
  13250.  
  13251. &lt;p&gt;Labour Party chair Anneliese Dodds said: “We want to see the process for gender recognition modernised, while protecting single-sex spaces for biological women.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13252.  
  13253.  
  13254.  
  13255. &lt;p&gt;But this is an impossibility. &lt;/p&gt;
  13256.  
  13257.  
  13258.  
  13259. &lt;p&gt;There is evidence that a number of trans-identified male sex offenders placed in women’s prisons have gone on to sexually assault female inmates.&lt;/p&gt;
  13260.  
  13261.  
  13262.  
  13263. &lt;p&gt;A paedophile, who was born male, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/20328727/transgender-paedophile-duped-staff-domestic-violence-refuge/&quot;&gt;allowed to reside in a domestic violence refuge for women and children&lt;/a&gt; for several weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  13264.  
  13265.  
  13266.  
  13267. &lt;p&gt;I would like to hear from the Labour Party exactly how it would ensure that single-sex spaces and services can be safely provided.&lt;/p&gt;
  13268.  
  13269.  
  13270.  
  13271. &lt;p&gt;Women are deserting Labour in droves, on the basis that if they cannot be trusted on this issue then they cannot be trusted on others either.&lt;/p&gt;
  13272.  
  13273.  
  13274.  
  13275. &lt;p&gt;From Sir Keir Starmer’s statement that “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21918933/keir-starmer-one-thousand-women-penis-gender-id/&quot;&gt;99.9 percent of women do not have a penis&lt;/a&gt;”, through to the Shadow Secretary of State for International Development Lisa Nandy’s support for the notion of transwomen rapists being placed in female prisons, they are on the wrong side of history on this issue.&lt;/p&gt;
  13276.  
  13277.  
  13278.  
  13279. &lt;p&gt;It may yet cost them dearly.&lt;/p&gt;

  13300. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STRICTLY Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has been hit with more allegations over his conduct following his shock departure from the show.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13301.  
  13302.  
  13303.  
  13304. &lt;p&gt;Dancer Korina Travis, 29, performed with him at private functions and has made a damning statement about his behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  13305.

  13445. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;CORONATION Street’s Bernie Winter has finally come face to face with the son she gave up for adoption &amp;#8211; with a horrifying twist tonight.&lt;/p&gt;
  13446.  
  13447.  
  13448.  
  13449. &lt;p&gt;The cafe worker &amp;#8211; who is played by actress Jane Hazlegrove in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; soap &amp;#8211; revealed she had a secret third child last week as she opened up to Dev Alahan about trying to find him.&lt;/p&gt;
  13450.  
  13451.  
  13452.  
  13453. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27906012&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/2024/05/david-crook-itv-com-photograph-896695496_1a0665.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27906012&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;693&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;ITV&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Bernie has finally found the song she gave up for adoption at birth[/caption]
  13454.  
  13455.  
  13456.  
  13457. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27897231&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/2024/05/EXTRA_13_05_CORO_KIT_BERNIE_02.jpeg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27897231&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;581&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;However her son Kit doesn&amp;#8217;t want anything to do with her &amp;#8211; for now&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  13458.  
  13459.  
  13460.  
  13461. &lt;p&gt;She originally tracked down a man with his adopted name hoping it was him but he denied being adopted and sent her packing.&lt;/p&gt;
  13462.  
  13463.  
  13464.  
  13465. &lt;p&gt;Bernie ran into him repeatedly and he even tried to arrest her for being drunk.&lt;/p&gt;
  13466.  
  13467.  
  13468.  
  13469. &lt;p&gt;Later she discovered that the final man on her list had died &amp;#8211; and she assumed he was her son.&lt;/p&gt;
  13470.  
  13471.  
  13472.  
  13473. &lt;p&gt;But in tonight’s episode, after Kit used his powers as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; detective to hurt Bernie, she went to confront him &amp;#8211; and while she was there discovered the truth.&lt;/p&gt;
  13474.  
  13475.  
  13476.  
  13477. &lt;p&gt;Kit’s colleagues surprised him with a birthday cake and Bernie realised that he had the same date of birth and name as her son.&lt;/p&gt;
  13478.  
  13479.  
  13480.  
  13481. &lt;p&gt;Realising the truth, she wanted answers about why he would let her believe her son had died &amp;#8211; but he snapped back that he’d been dead to her for years.&lt;/p&gt;
  13482.  
  13483.  
  13484.  
  13485. &lt;p&gt;And he confronted her about how they had arranged to meet a decade ago but Bernie didn’t turn up.&lt;/p&gt;
  13486.  
  13487.  
  13488.  
  13489. &lt;p&gt;The tense reunion ended with Kit telling her he had no intention of being her son &amp;#8211; or having anything to do with her.&lt;/p&gt;
  13490.  
  13491.  
  13492.  
  13493. &lt;p&gt;He told her: “I’ve been dead to you for 31 years. I gave you a chance ten years ago, do you remember?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13494.  
  13495.  
  13496.  
  13497. &lt;p&gt;“You contacted me, we arranged to meet and you never turned up. You abandoned me twice.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13498.

  13541. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A WOMAN in her 50s has been mauled to death by her two XL Bullies.&lt;/p&gt;
  13542.  
  13543.  
  13544.  
  13545. &lt;p&gt;She was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dog-attacks/&quot;&gt;pronounced dead at&lt;/a&gt; the scene in Hornchurch, East London, after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/xl-bully-ban/&quot;&gt;the hellhounds&lt;/a&gt; pounced inside a family home.&lt;/p&gt;
  13546.

  13554.  
  13555.  
  13556.  
  13557. &lt;p&gt;Armed cops were dispatched to Cornwall Close, a quiet cul-de-sac, at around 1pm on Monday following reports of a dog attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  13558.  
  13559.  
  13560.  
  13561. &lt;p&gt;Before cops arrived the beasts were shut in a room of the house, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/&quot;&gt;Met Police&lt;/a&gt; said.&lt;/p&gt;
  13562.  
  13563.  
  13564.  
  13565. &lt;p&gt;The two dogs, who were registered under the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/26193854/forty-thousand-xl-bully-dogs-britain-despite-ban/&quot;&gt;Government&amp;#8217;s new scheme&lt;/a&gt;, were seized by police.&lt;/p&gt;
  13566.  
  13567.  
  13568.  
  13569. &lt;p&gt;Since February 1, owning an XL bully in England and Wales without a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19237177/xl-bully-dog-breed-illegal-uk/&quot;&gt;certificate has been a criminal offence&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13570.  
  13571.  
  13572.  
  13573. &lt;p&gt;The breed is said to be “disproportionately involved” in serious and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21700336/britain-deadly-dog-attack-epidemic/&quot;&gt;fatal dog attacks&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13574.  
  13575.  
  13576.  
  13577. &lt;p&gt;Several Brits have been killed by members of the breed, including Ian Price, 52, who died in hospital after being attacked by two suspected American XL Bullies and 10-year-old Jack Lis who was savagely mauled to death in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  13578.  
  13579.  
  13580.  
  13581. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: “Police were called to Cornwall Close around 1.12pm on Monday, May 20 to reports of a woman attacked by a dog.&lt;/p&gt;
  13582.  
  13583.  
  13584.  
  13585. &lt;p&gt;“Due to the threat posed, armed officers attended. After assessing the situation, officers were able to safely seize two dogs.&lt;/p&gt;
  13586.  
  13587.  
  13588.  
  13589. &lt;p&gt;“These were registered XL Bully dogs and prior to officers’ arrival had been contained inside a room in the house.&lt;/p&gt;
  13590.  
  13591.  
  13592.  
  13593. &lt;p&gt;“They did not leave the house at any time during the incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  13594.  
  13595.  
  13596.  
  13597. &lt;p&gt;“The family of the woman, who was the owner of the dogs, are being supported by officers.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13598.  
  13599.  
  13600.  
  13601. &lt;p&gt;A London Ambulance Service spokesman added: “We sent resources to the scene including ambulance crews, an incident response officer and London’s air ambulance.&lt;/p&gt;
  13602.  
  13603.  
  13604.  
  13605. &lt;p&gt;“We treated a person but sadly, despite our efforts, they were pronounced dead at the scene.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13606.  
  13607.  
  13608.  
  13609. &lt;p&gt;Police said no arrests have been made.&lt;/p&gt;
  13610.  
  13611.  
  13612.  
  13613. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031587&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/2024/05/2024-now-illegal-xl-bully-894127511.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031587&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;The woman was mauled to death by two XL Bully dogs.

  13658.  
  13659.  
  13660.  
  13661. &lt;p&gt;Instead, she works as a beach life-guard who champions healthy, natural living and wants to save lives by promoting CPR.&lt;/p&gt;
  13662.  
  13663.  
  13664.  
  13665. &lt;p&gt;Her crucial day job comes despite her father, Brenhan Magee, owning a string of swanky restaurants and bars, including the one where TV’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/made-in-chelsea/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Made in Chelsea &lt;/a&gt;is often filmed.&lt;/p&gt;
  13666.  
  13667.  
  13668.  
  13669. &lt;p&gt;Single Milla, who is now set to represent &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;span id=&quot;e9f7d71c-83bf-43c3-9691-b8580afaab2b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year’s Miss World competition, does not drink or do &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt; and snubs raucous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London &lt;/a&gt;parties.&lt;/p&gt;

  13674.  
  13675.  
  13676.  
  13677. &lt;p&gt;She tells The Sun: “I always felt like the outsider, I was never a party girl. I never drank and I never did drugs, and I was born into a world where there was a lot of that.&lt;/p&gt;
  13678.  
  13679.  
  13680.  
  13681. &lt;p&gt;“Not that my ­parents did.&lt;/p&gt;
  13682.  
  13683.  
  13684.  
  13685. &lt;p&gt;“But they were in careers that were heavily ­surrounded by it, and, growing up, I guess I always told myself I had to conform.&lt;/p&gt;
  13686.  
  13687.  
  13688.  
  13689. &lt;p&gt;“But really, at the end of the day, I just wanted to be in nature.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13690.  
  13691.  
  13692.  
  13693. &lt;p&gt;Milla, a previous Miss Newquay, grew up in the capital’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity/&quot;&gt;celebrity&lt;/a&gt; hotspot, Primrose Hill, but has been living in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cornwall/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cornwall &lt;/a&gt;for the past eight years.&lt;/p&gt;
  13694.  
  13695.  
  13696.  
  13697. &lt;p&gt;She was crowned Miss &lt;span id=&quot;e5c86523-9588-4b95-b396-bc789e2e45d8&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;England&lt;/span&gt; in Wolverhampton on Friday night at the end of a competition which aimed to show there were different ways of being beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;

  13758. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve created this idealised picture of what a woman should look like over the years and I guess I tried to fit into a box.&lt;/p&gt;
  13759.  
  13760.  
  13761.  
  13762. &lt;p&gt;“Growing up, in school I would lower my legs. But with Miss England, it’s not about the looks. It is the beauty from within.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13763.  
  13764.  
  13765.  
  13766. &lt;p&gt;This year’s competition had been blasted by some critics for being too woke after the famous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swimwear/&quot;&gt;swimwear&lt;/a&gt; round was dropped.&lt;/p&gt;
  13767.  
  13768.  
  13769.  
  13770. &lt;p&gt;Milla, who often posts images on her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; pages of herself in beach gear, thinks it could return in a different form. She says: “Swimwear is part of my career, but I supported there being no swimwear round.&lt;/p&gt;
  13771.  
  13772.  
  13773.  
  13774. &lt;p&gt;“Maybe it can come back in &lt;span id=&quot;d371acad-2d31-4ec6-a60e-5d2426c541c6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; years, giving the girls the choice of what they want to wear, and not be classed a bikini round. Girls should think it’s okay to wear swimsuits if they want to. We are what we are born with.&lt;/p&gt;
  13775.  
  13776.  
  13777.  
  13778. &lt;p&gt;“It should be done in a healthy and body-positive way.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13779.  
  13780.  
  13781.  
  13782. &lt;p&gt;Milla’s mum Katrina has been pals with Noel’s ex Meg since she was a teenager.&lt;/p&gt;
  13783.  
  13784.  
  13785.  
  13786. &lt;p&gt;She got herself a job as a personal assistant in Creation Records, which signed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oasis/&quot;&gt;Oasis&lt;/a&gt;, and worked her way up through the industry. She now runs her own record label.&lt;/p&gt;
  13787.  
  13788.  
  13789.  
  13790. &lt;p&gt;Creation’s founder &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/14388067/alan-mcgee-biopic-britplop/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alan McGee&lt;/a&gt; is another of Milla’s godparents.&lt;/p&gt;
  13791.  
  13792.  
  13793.  
  13794. &lt;p&gt;  Meg and Noel, who married in 1997, were famous for their wild partying but split up in 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
  13795.

  13808. &lt;p&gt;Despite that, the former Oasis guitarist is still pals with Katrina, and Milla got the chance to photograph him on his band High Flying Birds’ most recent tour.&lt;/p&gt;
  13809.  
  13810.  
  13811.  
  13812. &lt;p&gt;She is also close to the stars of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/made-in-chelsea/&quot;&gt;Made in Chelsea&lt;/a&gt; through dad Brenhan, whose Broadway Bar And Grill was a popular haunt for the reality show’s wealthy jet-setters.&lt;/p&gt;

  13818.  
  13819.  
  13820. &lt;p&gt;She says: “I’d go from school to the bar and then they’d all be filming.&lt;/p&gt;
  13821.  
  13822.  
  13823.  
  13824. &lt;p&gt;“So I got quite close and still speak to Cheska [Hull], one of the originals.&lt;/p&gt;
  13825.  
  13826.  
  13827.

  13829.  
  13830.  
  13831.  
  13832. &lt;p&gt;Her family is also said to know the likes of model &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-moss/&quot;&gt;Kate Moss&lt;/a&gt; and Brit Hollywood star &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jason-statham/&quot;&gt;Jason Statham&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13833.  
  13834.  
  13835.  
  13836. &lt;p&gt;But Milla insists she did not pay much attention to who was hanging around their home when she was younger. &lt;/p&gt;
  13837.  
  13838.  
  13839.  
  13840. &lt;p&gt;She explains: “You’re surrounded by them as a child, but you just don’t really know who they are.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13841.  
  13842.  
  13843.  
  13844. &lt;p&gt;Miss England has switched its focus from looking at a contestant’s vital statistics to appreciating the good works they do.&lt;/p&gt;
  13845.  
  13846.  
  13847.  
  13848. &lt;p&gt;Milla is campaigning for children to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/4694015/cpr-cardiac-arrest-first-aid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;CPR&lt;/a&gt;) in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot;&gt;schools&lt;/a&gt; and founded an organisation called Go Far With CPR.&lt;/p&gt;
  13849.  
  13850.  
  13851.  
  13852. &lt;p&gt;She is an advocate for the life- saving procedure following two family tragedies.&lt;/p&gt;

  13863.  
  13864.  
  13865.  
  13866. &lt;p&gt;Milla explains: “Both of my grandfathers passed away with heart attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  13867.  
  13868.  
  13869.  
  13870. &lt;p&gt;“My auntie was present for one and the ambulance took an hour to respond to the scene. But she was unable to perform CPR or first aid because she had never been taught those skills.&lt;/p&gt;
  13871.  
  13872.  
  13873.  
  13874. &lt;p&gt;“He passed away before I was born, so I never got the chance to meet him.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13875.  
  13876.  
  13877.  
  13878. &lt;p&gt;During a visit to Cornwall earlier this month, Milla got to meet &lt;span id=&quot;8f8da4dd-2645-47fb-b0c1-0b4fa82a7634&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Prince William&lt;/span&gt; as he visited lifeguards at scenic Fistral Beach in Newquay.&lt;/p&gt;
  13879.  
  13880.  
  13881.  
  13882. &lt;p&gt;She says: “I was so, so honoured to meet him.&lt;/p&gt;
  13883.  
  13884.  
  13885.  
  13886. &lt;p&gt;“I managed to have the opportunity to briefly say hello and tell him about my project, Go Far With CPR.&lt;/p&gt;
  13887.  
  13888.  
  13889.  
  13890. &lt;p&gt;“They did say before they left, ‘We’re all rooting for you’, because I was wearing my Miss Newquay sash.”&lt;/p&gt;

  13920. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;RATHER than slogging it out for hours at the gym, 11 minutes a day is all the exercise you need to look and feel great.&lt;/p&gt;
  13921.  
  13922.  
  13923.  
  13924. &lt;p&gt;That’s the premise of new book The Feel Good Fix, in which Lavina Mehta delves into the research behind “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wellness/27403817/best-exercises-zap-belly-fat-fast-not-sit-ups/&quot;&gt;exercise&lt;/a&gt; snacks” and shares dozens of her favourites.&lt;/p&gt;
  13925.  
  13926.  
  13927.  
  13928. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28029877&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/2024/05/equipment-green-fitness-ball-group-902258464.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28029877&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;641&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;11 minutes a day is all the exercise you need to look and feel great[/caption]
  13929.  
  13930.  
  13931.  
  13932. &lt;p&gt;Taking just a few minutes each, these bite-size workouts accumulate over a day and are just as good as hitting the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wellness/25471779/gym-mistakes-newbies-personal-trainer/&quot;&gt;gym&lt;/a&gt;, according to science.&lt;/p&gt;
  13933.  
  13934.  
  13935.  
  13936. &lt;p&gt;Lavina, who is of South Asian heritage, tells Sun Health: “To clarify, the term ‘exercise snacking’ is not to do with eating snacks, or exercising with your favourite food in hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  13937.  
  13938.  
  13939.  
  13940. &lt;p&gt;“It is small amounts of activity, taken regularly throughout the day.&lt;/p&gt;
  13941.  
  13942.  
  13943.  
  13944. &lt;p&gt;“This has been proven to have incredible health benefits. &lt;/p&gt;
  13945.  
  13946.  
  13947.  
  13948. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Research has found that this method can be even more effective and beneficial than the single long workouts we struggle to fit in.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13949.  
  13950.  
  13951.  
  13952. &lt;p&gt;Mum-of-three Lavina, from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/watford&quot;&gt;Watford&lt;/a&gt;, didn’t do any exercise until she was 35.&lt;/p&gt;
  13953.  
  13954.  
  13955.  
  13956. &lt;p&gt;It was only after a health scare that she realised she needed to change her life for good.&lt;/p&gt;
  13957.  
  13958.  
  13959.  
  13960. &lt;p&gt;The 46-year-old says: “I was always that girl who would do anything to get out of PE at school, and that ­followed me into adult life.&lt;/p&gt;
  13961.  
  13962.  
  13963.  
  13964. &lt;p&gt;“I didn’t grow up in a family where we exercised and it was an alien concept to me — just as it is for many South Asian people.&lt;/p&gt;
  13965.  
  13966.  
  13967.  
  13968. &lt;p&gt;“I have many family members and friends with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/DIABETES&quot;&gt;diabetes&lt;/a&gt;, and I lost my grandfather to it.&lt;/p&gt;

  13996.  
  13997.  
  13998.  
  13999. &lt;p&gt;“Although I was always slim until I fell pregnant and became a mother, I wasn’t healthy or fit.&lt;/p&gt;

  14002.  
  14003. &lt;p&gt;“The weight kept creeping on and I felt so unhealthy.&lt;/p&gt;
  14004.  
  14005.  
  14006.  
  14007. &lt;p&gt;“I joined a gym and started going to classes before deciding to book sessions with a personal trainer, who introduced me to weight training, which transformed my body and mind.&lt;/p&gt;
  14008.  
  14009.  
  14010.  
  14011. &lt;p&gt;“I was so passionate about the changes in my own body and wanted to share them with others.”&lt;/p&gt;

  14015. &lt;p&gt;Lavina resigned from her corporate job as a project manager and qualified as a personal trainer. &lt;/p&gt;
  14016.  
  14017.  
  14018.  
  14019. &lt;p&gt;She dedicated her work to helping people get fit while her boys were at school.&lt;/p&gt;

  14022.  
  14023. &lt;p&gt;Lavina says: “Within weeks of starting my business, I had a waiting list.&lt;/p&gt;
  14024.  
  14025.  
  14026.  
  14027. &lt;p&gt;“However, the Government guidelines of exercising for 150 minutes a week seemed excessive, so in 2018 I started researching the benefits of exercise snacking when writing my book. &lt;/p&gt;
  14028.

  14039. &lt;p&gt;“Research shows that exercising for as little as 11 minutes could prevent one in ten premature deaths, one in 20 cases of cardiovascular disease and nearly one in 30 cases of cancer.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14040.  
  14041.  
  14042.  
  14043. &lt;p&gt;The exercise “snacks” in Lavina’s book vary by ability, but are all  effective and come with a variety of intensities.&lt;/p&gt;
  14044.  
  14045.  
  14046.  
  14047. &lt;p&gt;Those who fear the gym, don’t know where to start or have injuries are able to give it a go.&lt;/p&gt;
  14048.  
  14049.  
  14050.  
  14051. &lt;p&gt;Lavina said: “I live and breathe everything in the book. &lt;/p&gt;
  14052.  
  14053.  
  14054.  
  14055. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My husband and boys are so used to seeing me ‘snacking’ throughout the day and don’t think anything of seeing me balancing on one leg when I’m brushing my teeth or squatting when I’m watching TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  14056.  
  14057.  
  14058.  
  14059. &lt;p&gt;“Because they’re so used to doing it, it’s become a way of life for them too. We all snack as a family.&lt;/p&gt;
  14060.  
  14061.  
  14062.  
  14063. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve even got my 78-year-old mum on it, and my 76-year-old mother-in-law who has become a bit of a snacking fanatic.&lt;/p&gt;
  14064.  
  14065.  
  14066.  
  14067. &lt;p&gt;“Walking is one of the best ways to banish the dreaded peri-menopausal brain fog — in nature for even more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mental-health-illness/&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
  14068.  
  14069.  
  14070.  
  14071. &lt;p&gt;“It doesn’t have to be a long walk, it can be just a five-minute snack. &lt;/p&gt;
  14072.  
  14073.  
  14074.  
  14075. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I find it energises the mind.” Lavina, whose motto is “exercise for sanity not vanity”, said: “I’ve changed my approach to exercise.&lt;/p&gt;
  14076.  
  14077.  
  14078.  
  14079. &lt;p&gt;“At first, I might have been ­motivated by how I looked and wanting a six-pack, but now it’s about how I feel.&lt;/p&gt;
  14080.  
  14081.  
  14082.  
  14083. &lt;p&gt;“I’m interested in how exercise helps us to deal with life’s ups and downs.&lt;/p&gt;
  14084.  
  14085.  
  14086.  
  14087. &lt;p&gt;“When my father-in-law died of a brain tumour, regular movement was my sanity. &lt;/p&gt;
  14088.  
  14089.  
  14090.  
  14091. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was the only thing that would give me mental strength and resilience.&lt;/p&gt;
  14092.  
  14093.  
  14094.  
  14095. &lt;p&gt;“Exercise can work wonders for anxiety — it increases your sense of wellbeing, your self-worth and confidence.&lt;/p&gt;
  14096.  
  14097.  
  14098.  
  14099. &lt;p&gt;“Studies prove exercise ­promotes the growth of neurons in the hippocampus (a deep part of the brain responsible for learning and memory), so people who exercise tend to be able to handle stress better.&lt;/p&gt;
  14100.  
  14101.  
  14102.  
  14103. &lt;p&gt;“Exercise changes the brain in ways that help to protect memory and thinking skills.&lt;/p&gt;
  14104.  
  14105.  
  14106.  
  14107. &lt;p&gt;“Aerobic exercise (cardio) and resistance (or strength) training also help your brain to function better.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14108.  
  14109.  
  14110.  
  14111. &lt;p&gt;Lavina has a message for those who think they are too old to exercise.&lt;/p&gt;
  14112.  
  14113.  
  14114.  
  14115. &lt;p&gt;“You’re never too old to lift weights,” she says.&lt;/p&gt;
  14116.  
  14117.  
  14118.  
  14119. &lt;p&gt;“Strength training not only builds muscle but works ­wonders in boosting your brain, heart, bones and mental health.&lt;/p&gt;
  14120.  
  14121.  
  14122.  
  14123. &lt;p&gt;“I tell people to focus on the weight they are lifting rather than the weight on the scales.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14124.  
  14125.  
  14126.  
  14127. &lt;p&gt;To hit your 11 minutes a day, choose from the “snacks” on this page.&lt;/p&gt;
  14128.  
  14129.  
  14130.  
  14131. &lt;p&gt;You’ll need a timer and light dumbbells (or tins or water bottles). &lt;/p&gt;
  14132.  
  14133.  
  14134.  
  14135. &lt;p&gt;Try to do a variety of strength, cardio and HIIT.&lt;/p&gt;
  14136.

  14338.  
  14339.  
  14340.  
  14341. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shoulder press&lt;/strong&gt;. Holding a weight in each hand at shoulder height, with your palms facing away from you, keep your chest up, brace your core and keep your back straight. &lt;/p&gt;
  14342.  
  14343.  
  14344.  
  14345. &lt;p&gt;Lift the weights directly upwards until your arms are almost straight and are directly above your shoulders. &lt;/p&gt;
  14346.  
  14347.  
  14348.  
  14349. &lt;p&gt;Return to the start position.&lt;/p&gt;

  14354.  
  14355.  
  14356.  
  14357. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Front to lateral raises&lt;/strong&gt;. Start with straight arms by your side (holding a weight in each hand), palms facing down. &lt;/p&gt;
  14358.  
  14359.  
  14360.  
  14361. &lt;p&gt;Lift your arms in front to shoulder height, then back down to thighs.&lt;/p&gt;
  14362.  
  14363.  
  14364.  
  14365. &lt;p&gt;Then lift your arms out to the side (to shoulder height) and back down. Repeat.&lt;/p&gt;
  14366.

  14370.  
  14371.  
  14372.  
  14373. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dips&lt;/strong&gt;. Sit on an elevated surface (a bed, sofa or steps), then shuffle your body off and use your arm strength to help you to lower and then bring yourself back up while keeping the elbows facing back behind you, your fingers facing towards your body. &lt;/p&gt;
  14374.  
  14375.  
  14376.  
  14377. &lt;p&gt;You can try this with legs bent or straight.&lt;/p&gt;
  14378.  
  14379.  
  14380.  
  14381. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bent-over rows&lt;/strong&gt;. Hinge at the hips and push them back, lowering your upper body to an angle of around 45 degrees to the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
  14382.  
  14383.  
  14384.  
  14385. &lt;p&gt;Row the weights towards your armpits while keeping your elbows close to the side of your body, then straighten the arms. &lt;/p&gt;
  14386.  
  14387.  
  14388.  
  14389. &lt;p&gt;It is key to keep your back straight and engage your core muscles in the stomach.&lt;/p&gt;
  14390.  
  14391.  
  14392.  
  14393. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;STAIR SNACKS&lt;/h2&gt;
  14394.  
  14395.  
  14396.  
  14397. &lt;p&gt;IN one minute, aim to take three flights of stairs, three times a day.&lt;/p&gt;
  14398.  
  14399.  
  14400.  
  14401. &lt;p&gt;Start small and build up to vigorously climbing a few flights of stairs in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  14402.  
  14403.  
  14404.  
  14405. &lt;p&gt;Go as quickly as you can, but use the guardrail for safety.&lt;/p&gt;
  14406.  
  14407.  
  14408.  
  14409. &lt;p&gt;To progress, take two stairs at a time or increase your pace.&lt;/p&gt;
  14410.  
  14411.  
  14412.  
  14413. &lt;p&gt;Add some shopping bags, a rucksack or the laundry basket as weights to progress and increase your load.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  14424. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;NEW footage has emerged of Oleksandr Usyk peppering Tyson Fury with punches during their blockbuster bout.&lt;/p&gt;
  14425.  
  14426.  
  14427.  
  14428. &lt;p&gt;The Ukrainian &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27999854/oleksandr-usyk-tyson-fury-undisputed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;won via a split decision&lt;/a&gt; in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night as the Gypsy King suffered defeat for the first time in his career.&lt;/p&gt;

  14445.  
  14446.  
  14447.  
  14448. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oleksandr-usyk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Usyk&lt;/a&gt; is now the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  14449.  
  14450.  
  14451.  
  14452. &lt;p&gt;Key to his victory was his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28000621/controversy-tyson-fury-survives-oleksandr-usyk-knocked-out/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;brutal round nine&lt;/a&gt; performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  14453.  
  14454.  
  14455.  
  14456. &lt;p&gt;Usyk launched a fantastic attack with several powerful shots that left &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tyson-fury/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fury&lt;/a&gt; dazed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14457.  
  14458.  
  14459.  
  14460. &lt;p&gt;The Brit ended up stumbling around the ring, with only the ropes holding him up before the bell saved him.&lt;/p&gt;
  14461.  
  14462.  
  14463.  
  14464. &lt;p&gt;Despite not hitting the deck, an official &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27999789/tyson-fury-oleksandr-usyk-round-by-round/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;knockdown was scored&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14465.  
  14466.  
  14467.  
  14468. &lt;p&gt;And now a video taken from ringside has come to light that shows just how close Fury came to being knocked out.&lt;/p&gt;
  14469.  
  14470.  
  14471.  
  14472. &lt;p&gt;The clip posted on Usyk&amp;#8217;s &lt;a aria-label=&quot;YouTube channel (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fwuKGGmSXXU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;YouTube channel&lt;/a&gt; from a never-before-seen angle gives fans a sense of how hard his shots were and how dizzy Fury looked.&lt;/p&gt;
  14473.  
  14474.  
  14475.  
  14476. &lt;p&gt;Fans reacted to the footage, with one saying: &amp;#8220;Fury didn&amp;#8217;t even want to continue.. the ref practically went to pull him to come forward after the standing eight count.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14477.

  14485.  
  14486.  
  14487.  
  14488. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Usyk is the most kind boxer ever. Had it been someone else, he would have &amp;#8216;finished him&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14489.  
  14490.  
  14491.  
  14492. &lt;p&gt;A third reacted: &amp;#8220;Usyk has just proven that he is the best boxer in this era. Fury isn’t the same fighter anymore.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14515. &lt;p&gt;More commented: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28006416/david-haye-ref-tyson-fury-recover-usyk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Referee&lt;/a&gt; was Tyson&amp;#8217;s best friend in that moment. Usyk is the clear winner no matter what anyone says. That&amp;#8217;s what a real champion does he lets his actions do the talking.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14516.  
  14517.  
  14518.  
  14519. &lt;p&gt;On it not be a knockout win, Usyk said: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28017665/tyson-fury-oleksandr-usyk-ninth-round-ko-referee/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;No knockout&lt;/a&gt;, no problem. I don&amp;#8217;t think about it because we had a win.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14520.  
  14521.  
  14522.  
  14523. &lt;p&gt;Although Fury disagreed, saying in the ring: &amp;#8220;I believe I won that fight. He won a few of those rounds but I won the majority.&lt;/p&gt;
  14524.  
  14525.  
  14526.  
  14527. &lt;p&gt;“What can you do, one of them daft decisions in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14528.  
  14529.  
  14530.  
  14531. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve all put on a good fight, the best we can do.&lt;/p&gt;
  14532.  
  14533.  
  14534.  
  14535. &lt;p&gt;“&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28001155/tyson-fury-ukraine-war-judges-defeat-oleksandr-usyk/&quot;&gt;His country is at war&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;so people are siding with a country at war but make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion and I’ll be back. I’ve got a rematch clause.&lt;/p&gt;
  14536.  
  14537.  
  14538.  
  14539. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve thanked Jesus for all the victories that he has given me, I’ve had a split decision loss to a good little man, and I thank him again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14550. &lt;div&gt;
  14551. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OLEKSANDR USYK is the deserved undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, writes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/wally-downes/&quot;&gt;Wally Downes Jr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14552. &lt;p&gt;A great biggun doesn’t always beat a great littleun, not when David has the weight of a besieged nation on his shoulders and is able to swing each compatriot into every punch.&lt;/p&gt;
  14553. &lt;p&gt;Usyk did what Usyk does, he moved magnificently, he counter punched and he outworked his taller and heavier opponent.&lt;/p&gt;
  14554. &lt;p&gt;He somehow manages to use every physical disadvantage to his favour.&lt;/p&gt;
  14555. &lt;p&gt;But what the hell is Fury doing getting up in round nine?&lt;/p&gt;
  14556. &lt;p&gt;Why is a father-of-eight with £300million in the bank, three best-selling books and a Netflix series going to the well like?&lt;/p&gt;
  14557. &lt;p&gt;Britain is not fighting back Putin’s army, Morecambe is not occupied.&lt;/p&gt;
  14558. &lt;p&gt;So when the 35-year-old’s senses are scrambled, when the canvas is calling him, when he is so desperate not to be felled he is willing to bounce around all the ropes like a drunk, when he eventually has to collapse into a corner, why doesn’t he just stay down?&lt;/p&gt;
  14559. &lt;p&gt;He has earned the right to surrender as well as his millions.&lt;/p&gt;
  14560. &lt;p&gt;The sheer courage and guts and bloody mindedness it takes to climb off that deck, with a broken nose and a crumbling ego is not comprehensible to us mortals.&lt;/p&gt;
  14561. &lt;p&gt;Fury said he felt he won the fight but was too dignified to call robbery or corruption, no doubt his dad will taint that decency by the time you’ve read this.&lt;/p&gt;
  14562. &lt;p&gt;The rematch will be superb.&lt;/p&gt;
  14563. &lt;p&gt;Because for all the love we have for a resurgent Anthony Joshua – who was ringside for that iconic event – these two polar opposite men are head, shoulders, fists, hearts and brains ahead of everyone else.&lt;/p&gt;

  14580. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;EVERYONE has a packed schedule these days, but can you spare a few seconds to find the hidden flyer among the sticky notes?&lt;/p&gt;
  14581.  
  14582.  
  14583.  
  14584. &lt;p&gt;Only those with an organized mind, high IQ, and 20/20 vision can locate the memo in this optical illusion in only 23 seconds.&lt;/p&gt;
  14585.  
  14586.  
  14587.  
  14588. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031374&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.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/pd_BULLETINBOARD-OP-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Can you find the hidden flyer on this bulletin board&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031374&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Try and find the hidden flyer on this bulletin board&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instantprint&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  14589.  
  14590.  
  14591.  
  14592. &lt;p&gt;The rather colorful display shows everything from dog photos to beautiful drawings.&lt;/p&gt;
  14593.  
  14594.  
  14595.  
  14596. &lt;p&gt;However, somewhere lurking in the photo is a piece of paper that doesn&amp;#8217;t quite belong on this board. &lt;/p&gt;
  14597.  
  14598.  
  14599.  
  14600. &lt;p&gt;Finding the illusive flyer is made even more difficult because the entire board appears very busy with splatterings of yellow, pink, and white.&lt;/p&gt;
  14601.  
  14602.  
  14603.  
  14604. &lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#8217;s put a pin in you finding the flyer and how about a hint? &lt;/p&gt;
  14605.  
  14606.  
  14607.  
  14608. &lt;p&gt;The flyer is located toward the right of the board&amp;#8217;s frame.&lt;/p&gt;
  14609.  
  14610.  
  14611.  
  14612. &lt;p&gt;This floral-colored brain teaser was created by the UK-based online printing company&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:*2F*2Fwww.instantprint.co.uk*2Fflyers-leaflets/2/0102018f961e6250-c2d692a0-7bbd-4992-9a10-1f196ca419ab-000000/8wb6RicTA_5rz_ge3fF6_jqKgLk=374__;JSUl!!F0Stn7g!FklQ2M2h2OxAumQc2Kljh1B_i9vL3DZIYlaFgdXYiCbLVWf8hNyJqPy4hND5iyWibVDe1orbauBNoDUbnVRZHffKgeSgBA$&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Instantprint&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14613.  
  14614.  
  14615.  
  14616. &lt;p&gt;Have you located the flyer yet? &lt;/p&gt;
  14617.  
  14618.  
  14619.  
  14620. &lt;p&gt;If you have, why not take a whirl at trying to find the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/28004951/optical-illusion-brain-teaser-hidden-bobcat-camouflaged/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;camouflaged bobcat&lt;/a&gt; hidden among the rocks?&lt;/p&gt;
  14621.  
  14622.  
  14623.  
  14624. &lt;p&gt;While at first glance the nature scene appears to be deserted, we assure you that a wild bobcat is waiting to pounce. &lt;/p&gt;
  14625.  
  14626.  
  14627.  
  14628. &lt;p&gt;If you managed to locate the ferocious feline, we have one more sweet puzzle for you. &lt;/p&gt;
  14629.  
  14630.  
  14631.  
  14632. &lt;p&gt;School may be winding down, but we have one last assignment for you: find the calculator hidden among all these graded tests. &lt;/p&gt;
  14633.

  14651. &lt;!-- End of Brightcove Player --&gt;
  14652.  
  14653.  
  14654.  
  14655. &lt;p&gt;Locating the calculator is made even more difficult since the entire image is made up of monotonous beige papers with the interspersing of red and blue pens.&lt;/p&gt;
  14656.  
  14657.  
  14658.  
  14659. &lt;p&gt;Still having trouble locating the pesky calculator? &lt;/p&gt;
  14660.  
  14661.  
  14662.  
  14663. &lt;p&gt;Well, if you look at the bottom right of the image, you&amp;#8217;ll see it hiding in a large gap between papers.&lt;/p&gt;
  14664.  
  14665.  
  14666.  
  14667. &lt;p&gt; In a recent study, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.zenbusiness.com/blog/could-training-your-brain-optical-illusions-key-business-success/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;ZenBusiness&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;found that mental puzzles help stimulate the brain and train it to solve problems more efficiently.&lt;/p&gt;
  14668.  
  14669.  
  14670.  
  14671. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;These visual puzzles can give you a good mental workout that can, in turn, help you think more efficiently and solve problems more easily,&amp;#8221; states the outlet.&lt;/p&gt;
  14672.  
  14673.  
  14674.

  14678. &lt;/div&gt;

  14680. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  14681. Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.   &lt;/p&gt;
  14682. &lt;div&gt;
  14683. &lt;ul&gt;
  14684. &lt;li&gt;They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.&lt;/li&gt;
  14685. &lt;li&gt;By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.&lt;/li&gt;
  14686. &lt;li&gt;Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.&lt;/li&gt;
  14687. &lt;li&gt;Improved concentration and attention span can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.&lt;/li&gt;
  14688. &lt;li&gt;Optical illusions can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.&lt;/li&gt;
  14689. &lt;/ul&gt;
  14690. &lt;/div&gt;
  14691. &lt;/div&gt;
  14692. &lt;/div&gt;
  14693.  
  14694.  
  14695.  
  14696. &lt;p&gt;The University of Glasgow also stated that those who regularly partake in optical illusions are more likely to improve their eyesight.&lt;/p&gt;
  14697.  
  14698.  
  14699.

  14735. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ARRESTED golf star Scottie Scheffler will have to wait to learn his fate &amp;#8211; after having his court date pushed back.&lt;/p&gt;
  14736.  
  14737.  
  14738.  
  14739. &lt;p&gt;The world No.1 is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27976198/scottie-scheffler-arrested-pga-golf-valhalla/&quot;&gt;accused of driving into a cop&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27981075/scottie-scheffler-statement-shock-arrest/&quot;&gt;dragging him to the floor&lt;/a&gt; at the PGA Championship in the US on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;

  14752.  
  14753.  
  14754.  
  14755. &lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old branded the incident &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27977177/scottie-scheffler-tee-time-pga-championship/&quot;&gt;before tee off&lt;/a&gt; in Louisville, Kentucky, &amp;#8220;a big misunderstanding&amp;#8221; after &amp;#8220;a very chaotic situation&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14756.  
  14757.  
  14758.  
  14759. &lt;p&gt;Scheffler&amp;#8217;s mugshot, which shows him &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27979046/scottie-scheffler-pictured-orange-jumpsuit-mugshot-handcuffed/&quot;&gt;wearing an orange jumpsuit&lt;/a&gt;, sent social media into a frenzy after he was detained at Valhalla Golf Club.&lt;/p&gt;
  14760.  
  14761.  
  14762.  
  14763. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27991008/scottie-scheffler-reaction-t-shirt-mugshot-police-arrest/&quot;&gt;He returned to the course&lt;/a&gt; less than an hour before his fog-delayed tee time and finished his round joint eighth at 13-under par.&lt;/p&gt;
  14764.  
  14765.  
  14766.  
  14767. &lt;p&gt;He said on Sunday: &amp;#8220;I got arrested Friday morning and I showed up here and played a good round of golf, as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14768.  
  14769.  
  14770.  
  14771. &lt;p&gt;The Texan was due in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/louisville/&quot;&gt;Louisville&lt;/a&gt; courtroom at 9am on Tuesday but that appearance has been rescheduled for Monday, June 3.&lt;/p&gt;
  14772.  
  14773.  
  14774.  
  14775. &lt;p&gt;Steve Romines, the golfer&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;attorney&lt;/a&gt;, filed a motion to delay proceedings having earlier said his client would not attend the pre-trial hearing.&lt;/p&gt;
  14776.  
  14777.  
  14778.  
  14779. &lt;p&gt;Scheffler is expected to be at the June 3 hearing, according to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.wlky.com/article/scottie-scheffler-arrest-charges-arraignment-delayed/60844118&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;WLKY.com&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14780.  
  14781.  
  14782.  
  14783. &lt;p&gt;It is thought the golfer was trying to avoid a fatal traffic jam early on Friday while on his way to the second round of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pga-tour/&quot;&gt;PGA Championship&lt;/a&gt; when he allegedly hit a police officer.&lt;/p&gt;
  14784.

  14806. &lt;p&gt;His attorney Mr Romine said: &amp;#8220;They were directing traffic, he held his media credential out and was going in like they&amp;#8217;ve been instructed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14807.  
  14808.  
  14809.  
  14810. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And yeah, I think the officer that was directing traffic was maybe not part of the event&amp;#8217;s traffic detail.&lt;/p&gt;
  14811.  
  14812.  
  14813.  
  14814. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And so that&amp;#8217;s where the miscommunication arose and that&amp;#8217;s why we&amp;#8217;re here.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14815.  
  14816.  
  14817.  
  14818. &lt;p&gt;Video of Scheffler&amp;#8217;s arrest went viral before he was charged with second-degree assault of a cop and third-degree criminal mischief.&lt;/p&gt;
  14819.  
  14820.  
  14821.  
  14822. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s also charged with reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.&lt;/p&gt;
  14823.  
  14824.  
  14825.  
  14826. &lt;p&gt;Following the incident, the golfer wrote on Instagram: &amp;#8220;There was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. &lt;/p&gt;
  14827.  
  14828.  
  14829.  
  14830. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I never intended to disregard any of the instructions.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14831.

  14840. THE images of Scottie Scheffler being hauled off to jail in handcuffs will shock the golfing world, because no-one has a more clean-cut image than the world No 1, writes David Facey. &lt;/p&gt;
  14841. &lt;div&gt;
  14842. &lt;p&gt;Scheffler’s detainment for allegedly speeding past a police car on his way to tee off in round two of the USPGA Championship goes against everything the god-fearing family man stands for.&lt;/p&gt;
  14843. &lt;p&gt;The fact that it has happened barely a week after&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18162226/scottie-scheffler-wife-meredith-scudder-golf/&quot;&gt;his wife, Meredith&lt;/a&gt;, gave birth to their first child, Bennett, makes it even more shocking.&lt;/p&gt;
  14844. &lt;p&gt;Scheffler and Ryder Cup team-mate Sam Burns organise a bible group attended by other PGA Tour players and caddies, and there has never been a whiff of scandal associated with the 27 year old.&lt;/p&gt;
  14845. &lt;p&gt;Before returning to action at the USPGA &amp;#8211; following a three week break to enjoy becoming a dad for the first time &amp;#8211; Scheffler spoke about how blissfully happy his life was now.&lt;/p&gt;
  14846. &lt;p&gt;He said: “At home it was a nice time to reflect a little bit on my career so far and where my life has gone.&lt;/p&gt;
  14847. &lt;p&gt;“I married my high school sweetheart and I always wanted to play professional golf, and of course I’ve done that, and won two Masters and become world No 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  14848. &lt;p&gt;“When I was at home I was sitting there with a newborn in my arms and the green jacket in the closet. It was a pretty special time I think.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14849. &lt;p&gt;One moment of madness, or a mix-up, could see his world turned upside down.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27984197/scottie-scheffler-assault-charge-ten-year-prison-sentence/#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  14885. &lt;p&gt;Molly has been sharing snippets from their girly weekend on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; for fans to enjoy. &lt;/p&gt;
  14886.  
  14887.  
  14888.  
  14889. &lt;p&gt;The mum took to her page to post some stunning snaps of her in a posing up a storm in a bikini outside their lavish villa. &lt;/p&gt;
  14890.  
  14891.  
  14892.  
  14893. &lt;p&gt;Molly looked amazing in a black triangle bikini top, matching beach trousers and a cow boy hat. &lt;/p&gt;
  14894.  
  14895.  
  14896.  
  14897. &lt;p&gt;She captioned the post: &amp;#8220;Palm of your &lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/270b-1f3fd.png&quot; alt=&quot;✋🏽&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14903.  
  14904.  
  14905. &lt;p&gt;One said: &amp;#8220;UNREAL.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14944. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile rumours that Molly Mae and Tommy have split have been whirling around. &lt;/p&gt;
  14945.  
  14946.  
  14947.  
  14948. &lt;p&gt;Fans raised their eyebrows earlier this month when she&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27805401/molly-mae-hague-snubs-tommy-fury-birthday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; &amp;#8216;snubbed&amp;#8217; her fiancé on his 25th birthday.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14949.  
  14950.  
  14951.  
  14952. &lt;p&gt;The star failed to mention her man on her stories or say anything about his special day &amp;#8211; something that she usually does.&lt;/p&gt;
  14953.  
  14954.  
  14955.  
  14956. &lt;p&gt;Weeks later she&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27836429/molly-mae-tommy-fury-split-rumours-holiday-dubai/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; jetted off to Dubai &lt;/a&gt;without him and was seen not wearing her&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27940874/molly-mae-ditches-engagement-ring-tommy-fury-dubai/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; engagement ring.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14957.  
  14958.  
  14959.  
  14960. &lt;p&gt;However while out in Ibiza, Molly seemingly&amp;nbsp;shut down rumours of trouble in&amp;nbsp;her&amp;nbsp;relationship as she s&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27979961/molly-mae-hague-engagement-ring-tommy-fury-split/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tepped out wearing&amp;nbsp;her rock on her finger. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14961.  
  14962.  
  14963.  
  14964. &lt;p&gt;Molly-Mae wore her blonde locks pulled back into a messy bun with a pair of black sunglasses to shield her eyes from the sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  14965.  
  14966.  
  14967.  
  14968. &lt;p&gt;She carried a Louis Vuitton travel bag and accessorised with gold &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jewellery/&quot;&gt;jewellery&lt;/a&gt; and her dazzling diamond ring.&lt;/p&gt;
  14969.

  14973.  
  14974.  
  14975.  
  14976. &lt;p&gt;The pair quickly moved in together and now live in their incredible mansion with daughter Bambi.&lt;/p&gt;
  14977.  
  14978.  
  14979.  
  14980. &lt;p&gt;Molly gave birth to Bambi in January 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  14981.  
  14982.  
  14983.  
  14984. &lt;p&gt;The pair got engaged in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/summer/&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/a&gt; of 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

  15235. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 20, 2024&lt;/strong&gt;: The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; lodged a formal application for arrest warrants for both Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas terror master Yahya Sinwar&lt;/p&gt;
  15236. &lt;/div&gt;
  15237. &lt;/div&gt;

  15239.  
  15240.  
  15241.  
  15242. &lt;p&gt;“They were shouting and screaming at her. She was in her pyjamas and bleeding, we know that she was injured on her legs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15243.  
  15244.  
  15245.  
  15246. &lt;p&gt;“It is a trauma that we are still going through, and it is never ends.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15247.  
  15248.  
  15249.  
  15250. &lt;p&gt;“When we go to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sleep/&quot;&gt;sleep&lt;/a&gt; at night, if we are able to, we know nothing about sister condition and how she is being treated.&lt;/p&gt;
  15251.  
  15252.  
  15253.  
  15254. &lt;p&gt;“I keep telling myself stories that maybe she is a bit more lucky and she is being treated in some kind of humanitarian way.&lt;/p&gt;
  15255.  
  15256.  
  15257.  
  15258. &lt;p&gt;“We know that the people who kidnapped her are monsters, but I keep on telling myself she is the strongest person that I know.&lt;/p&gt;

  15260.  
  15261.  
  15262. &lt;p&gt;“That keeps me strong, and it keeps my family strong, because we know that she is a survivor. That is what to allows us to get out of bed in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  15263.  
  15264.  
  15265.  
  15266. &lt;p&gt;“My sister is a very gentle and kind young woman. She is softly spoken, yet so strong.&lt;/p&gt;

  15294. &lt;p&gt;“They are pure souls, who deserve to be back with their families.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15295.  
  15296.  
  15297.  
  15298. &lt;p&gt;Both men blasted the decision by an International Criminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28025762/gazas-bin-laden-yahya-sinwar-netanyahu-arrest-war-crimes/&quot;&gt;prosecutor to call for the arrest&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/binyamin-netanyahu/&quot;&gt;Benjamin Netanyahu&lt;/a&gt; over killings in Gaza by Israeli troops.&lt;/p&gt;
  15299.  
  15300.  
  15301.  
  15302. &lt;p&gt;Gal said: “I&amp;nbsp;think it’s terrible to compare what’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/israel/&quot;&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt; has done and what it is doing and what’s the country has suffered from.&lt;/p&gt;
  15303.  
  15304.  
  15305.  
  15306. &lt;p&gt;“You can agree, or not agree with how things have gone, but in reality, you can’t fight a knife with hugs and kisses.&lt;/p&gt;
  15307.  
  15308.  
  15309.  
  15310. &lt;p&gt;“I am a peaceful man and I don’t want war, but&amp;nbsp;you can’t stay silent when your people are being brutally murdered, raped and kidnapped.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15311.  
  15312.  
  15313.  
  15314. &lt;p&gt;Amit added: “I&amp;nbsp;think it’s disgraceful that Netanyahu has been charged alongside James, they are trying to create some sense of symmetry.&lt;/p&gt;
  15315.  
  15316.  
  15317.  
  15318. &lt;p&gt;“A comparison between Israel and those who have kidnapped raped and killed is wrong.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15319.  
  15320.  
  15321.  
  15322. &lt;p&gt;A total of 125 hostages remain unaccounted for.&lt;/p&gt;
  15323.  
  15324.  
  15325.  
  15326. &lt;p&gt;It comes as Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas terror master Yahya Sinwar were &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28025762/gazas-bin-laden-yahya-sinwar-netanyahu-arrest-war-crimes/&quot;&gt;both facing arrest on war crime charges&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15327.  
  15328.  
  15329.  
  15330. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutor Karim Khan&amp;#8217;s decision to move against Netanyahu sparked outrage across&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/israel/&quot;&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt;, with one minister branding it “a distortion of justice.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15331.  
  15332.  
  15333.  
  15334. &lt;p&gt;Arrest applications were also submitted for Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas&amp;#8217;s political leader Ismail Haniyeh and military chief &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mohammed-deif/&quot;&gt;Mohammed Deif&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15335.  
  15336.  
  15337.  
  15338. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27098026/israel-gaza-palestine-hamas-war-six-months-iran/&quot;&gt;October 7&lt;/a&gt; mastermind Sinwar, 61, Deif, 58 and Haniyeh, 62, stand accused of war crimes including: murder, hostage taking, rape, sexual violence, torture and cruelty.&lt;/p&gt;
  15339.  
  15340.  
  15341.  
  15342. &lt;p&gt;Ceasefire talks in Qatar remained deadlocked amid growing concern for around 100 Israeli hostages still being held in appalling conditions in blitzed Gaza.&lt;/p&gt;

  15375. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THIS is the bizarre moment car crash victims posed for a selfie next to a wreckage of their flipped motor.&lt;/p&gt;
  15376.  
  15377.  
  15378.  
  15379. &lt;p&gt;The two bloodied victims could be seen snapping photos right after they lost control on the road in Cuernavaca, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/mexico/&quot;&gt;Mexico&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  15388.  
  15389.  
  15390.  
  15391. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030638&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/2024/05/grand-daft-auto-moment-pair-903193069.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030638&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;544&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Newsflash&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;One of the victims snapped pics despite barely being able to walk[/caption]
  15392.  
  15393.  
  15394.  
  15395. &lt;p&gt;The astonishing selfie was taken by the pair just moments after they crawled out of their damaged vehicle on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  15396.  
  15397.  
  15398.  
  15399. &lt;p&gt;The victims attempted to capture themselves covered in blood &lt;span id=&quot;421a44cf-265d-40e3-916c-e9ca4ffa855c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; to their car stranded on its roof.&lt;/p&gt;
  15400.  
  15401.  
  15402.  
  15403. &lt;p&gt;The two could be seen sitting on the sidewalk as they try to get their injuries in the shot.&lt;/p&gt;
  15404.  
  15405.  
  15406.  
  15407. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, their motor is seen rolled over on its roof in the middle of the road with its windows smashed.&lt;/p&gt;
  15408.  
  15409.  
  15410.  
  15411. &lt;p&gt;One of the women, who snapped the pic, turned out to be seriously injured and unable to walk.&lt;/p&gt;
  15412.  
  15413.  
  15414.  
  15415. &lt;p&gt;Footage, taken after the selfie, shows the victim in jeans and a green vest being helped away by a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; officer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15416.  
  15417.  
  15418.  
  15419. &lt;p&gt;She manages to take a few faltering &lt;span id=&quot;9993d3f8-f806-42ae-a815-1baf42c01eec&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;steps&lt;/span&gt; before collapsing on the pavement as her friend squats beside her.&lt;/p&gt;
  15420.  
  15421.  
  15422.  
  15423. &lt;p&gt;The second woman, wearing a black sleeveless shirt, appears to be in a better condition.&lt;/p&gt;
  15424.  
  15425.  
  15426.  
  15427. &lt;p&gt;Another clip shows the selfie-snapping woman standing up and surrounded by paramedics and police beside an ambulance gurney.&lt;/p&gt;
  15428.  
  15429.  
  15430.  
  15431. &lt;p&gt;With her face and arms covered in bloodied, deep cuts, she appears to be arguing with her rescuers.&lt;/p&gt;

  15457.  
  15458. &lt;p&gt;The details of the car accident are still unclear and there&amp;#8217;s been no updates on the women&amp;#8217;s condition.&lt;/p&gt;
  15459.  
  15460.  
  15461.  
  15462. &lt;p&gt;Road accidents are common and have been on the rise in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/mexico/&quot;&gt;Mexico&lt;/a&gt; since 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  15463.  
  15464.  
  15465.  
  15466. &lt;p&gt;There were more than 377,200 related claims made in 2022, according to the National Statistics Institute.&lt;/p&gt;
  15467.  
  15468.  
  15469.  
  15470. &lt;p&gt;In April, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27600811/mexico-bus-crash-passengers-dead/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a tragic car crash in Mexico&lt;/a&gt; claimed lives of at least 14 people and injured 31 after a bus overturned on the El-Capulin-Chalma highway.&lt;/p&gt;
  15471.  
  15472.  
  15473.  
  15474. &lt;p&gt;Horror images from the scene showed a large white bus laying on its side, blocking the roadway.&lt;/p&gt;
  15475.  
  15476.  
  15477.  
  15478. &lt;p&gt;The passengers on the bus were travelling from Guanajuato to the sanctuary of Chalma for religious reasons, according to local media.&lt;/p&gt;
  15479.  
  15480.  
  15481.  
  15482. &lt;p&gt;The tragedy comes after 10 people, including four minors, died in a crash in the north-central state of San Luis Potosi on February 24.&lt;/p&gt;
  15483.  
  15484.  
  15485.  
  15486. &lt;p&gt;n January, at least 19 people died and 22 people were injured in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25617157/bus-crash-nineteen-dead-mexico/&quot;&gt;a head-on collision&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;between a passenger bus and a freight lorry.&lt;/p&gt;
  15487.  
  15488.  
  15489.  
  15490. &lt;p&gt;Almost 50 people were said to have been on board when disaster struck on a highway in the township of Elota, near the port city of Mazatland in northern&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/mexico/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mexico&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15491.  
  15492.  
  15493.  
  15494. &lt;p&gt;The bus had been travelling from the city of Guadalajara, in the western state of Jalisco, to Los Mochis in Sinaloa.&lt;/p&gt;
  15495.  
  15496.  
  15497.  
  15498. &lt;p&gt;The lorry reportedly overturned when the bus drove into it, causing both vehicles to catch fire.&lt;/p&gt;
  15499.  
  15500.  
  15501.  
  15502. &lt;p&gt;Last year, at least 29 people were killed in Mexico when&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22943927/tragedy-dozens-killed-crash-bus-ravine-mexico/&quot;&gt;a passenger bus careered off a road and plummeted 80 feet&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;into a ravine.&lt;/p&gt;
  15503.  
  15504.  
  15505.  
  15506. &lt;p&gt;An investigation was launched into the cause of the accident, but early indications suggested it was the result of mechanical failure.&lt;/p&gt;
  15507.  
  15508.  
  15509.  
  15510. &lt;p&gt;Passengers on the bus were travelling from Mexico City to tiny, remote mountain villages in the impoverished Mixteca region.&lt;/p&gt;

  15537. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;TEAMED with leggings and a vest top, ballet pumps were the height of fashion in the 90s.&lt;/p&gt;
  15538.  
  15539.  
  15540.  
  15541. &lt;p&gt;But now, those who experienced the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/style/&quot;&gt;trend&lt;/a&gt; at the time have been left groaning, after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/26613790/ballet-pumps-must-have-shoe-for-spring/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;flat shoes&lt;/a&gt; have returned to shelves in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/primark/&quot;&gt;Primark&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  15542.  
  15543.  
  15544.  
  15545. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_27487840&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/2024/04/j66dsc05768-editprimarkentrance-JS857651284_0df823.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-27487840&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;673&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Primark shoppers have been left totally divided as a 90s shoe trend returns to shelves&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  15546.  
  15547.  
  15548.  
  15549. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030549&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 670px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/156d430c-f1fe-4c65-8e44-1c77bc1f8dc2.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=660&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030549&quot; width=&quot;660&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The chain took to social media to show off their new range of ballet flats[/caption]
  15550.  
  15551.  
  15552.  
  15553. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030547&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 666px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/54f4f53c-bb91-4b5d-a7c3-46e28523cb85.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=656&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030547&quot; width=&quot;656&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The pumps are available in red, white, beige, blue and black[/caption]
  15554.  
  15555.  
  15556.  
  15557. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28030545&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 640px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/d217a07d-a830-4583-ae2f-674adf71fbc7.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=630&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28030545&quot; width=&quot;630&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Instagram&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Whilst some were were stunned by the &amp;#8216;lovely&amp;#8217; shoes, others were horrified[/caption]
  15558.  
  15559.  
  15560.  
  15561. &lt;p&gt;It was in the 1940s that the ballet slipper finally came off the stage and into everyday life.&lt;/p&gt;
  15562.  
  15563.  
  15564.  
  15565. &lt;p&gt;The pumps were stocked all throughout the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;high-street&lt;/a&gt;, including in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/designer-brands/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;designer&lt;/a&gt; stores too, as the shoe style started gaining traction in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/fashion/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;fashion&lt;/a&gt; world.&lt;/p&gt;
  15566.  
  15567.  
  15568.  
  15569. &lt;p&gt;Not only were they worn by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/5381479/why-audrey-hepburn-is-still-our-favourite-fashion-icon-25-years-after-her-death/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Audrey Hepburn&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/princess-diana/&quot;&gt;Princess Diana&lt;/a&gt;, they were also seen on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-moss/&quot;&gt;Kate Moss&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alexa-chung/&quot;&gt;Alexa Chung&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bella-hadid/&quot;&gt;Bella Hadid&lt;/a&gt; too.&lt;/p&gt;
  15570.  
  15571.  
  15572.  
  15573. &lt;p&gt;The quietly chic and effortlessly polished style became cemented as a cult favourite accessory, but years later, the “balletcore” trend began to lose popularity, as chunky trainers and &lt;span id=&quot;c8ce065f-0450-4acd-8e4b-a03ee1e132ce&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;boots&lt;/span&gt; came to dominate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15574.  
  15575.  
  15576.  
  15577. &lt;p&gt;Whilst we recently saw &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/primark/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Primark&lt;/a&gt; shoppers groan at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/27886187/disc-belts-primark-comeback-fashion-fans-groan-90s/&quot;&gt;the return of disc belts&lt;/a&gt;, now, the long-lost members of the footwear family have since been spotted back on the high-street, leaving shoppers divided. &lt;/p&gt;
  15578.  
  15579.  
  15580.  
  15581. &lt;p&gt;Posting on Primark’s official &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; account, under the username @&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/C66p_MwMoPl/&quot;&gt;primark&lt;/a&gt;, the much-loved chain gave shoppers a close-up look at their range of new ballet flats.&lt;/p&gt;
  15582.  
  15583.  
  15584.  
  15585. &lt;p&gt;Alongside the short clip, the caption read: “Take our ballet pumps for a spin&amp;#8230; you won’t be disappointed. Prices from £10.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15586.  
  15587.  
  15588.  
  15589. &lt;p&gt;There are a range of ballet pumps available, with double strap and single strap options on shelves.&lt;/p&gt;
  15590.  
  15591.  
  15592.  
  15593. &lt;p&gt;There’s plenty of colours to choose from too &amp;#8211; with the shoes available in red, white, beige, blue and black.&lt;/p&gt;
  15594.  
  15595.  
  15596.  
  15597. &lt;p&gt;But the social media post, which has quickly amassed 7,668 likes and 164 comments, has caused a big divide online.&lt;/p&gt;

  15621.  
  15622.  
  15623.  
  15624. &lt;p&gt;One person said: “The millennial in me just can’t accept this.. not again.” &lt;/p&gt;

  15640. &lt;p&gt;Another agreed: “Not again.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15641.  
  15642.  
  15643.  
  15644. &lt;p&gt;A third commented: “It&amp;#8217;s a no from me.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15645.  
  15646.  
  15647.  
  15648. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  15650. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;All the 90s trends that are making a comeback&lt;/h3&gt;
  15651. &lt;/div&gt;
  15652. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  15653. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  15654. WE might be in 2024, but fashion fans are looking to the past when it comes to new styles. So what trends from the 90s are making a comeback these days? &lt;/p&gt;
  15655. &lt;div&gt;
  15656. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Claw clips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15657. &lt;p&gt;These hair accessories were a huge trend back in the 90s, but are now most popular among those trying out the &amp;#8220;clean girl&amp;#8221; aesthetic. Designers such as Prada have released their own versions, while there are thousands of colours and styles to choose from on the high street. &lt;/p&gt;
  15658. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Platform flip flops&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15659. &lt;p&gt;Again a popular choice among fashionistas in the 90s, these heels have made a comeback with designers such as Balenciaga trying their luck with their own styles. &lt;/p&gt;
  15660. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cargo pants&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15661. &lt;p&gt;Once worn by the stars of All Saints, cargo pants became a popular trend for teens in the 90s. But they&amp;#8217;ve now had a fashion overhaul, with stars such as Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber all putting their own spin on the trend.&lt;/p&gt;
  15662. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jeans and a nice top&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15663. &lt;p&gt;It was the phrase that defined fashion for a decade, and now famous faces such as Sofia Richie are sporting the reinvented trend &amp;#8211; pairing their own denims with a more sophisticated top. But are you willing to dig your jeans and nice tops out of the wardrobe for a second time? &lt;/p&gt;
  15664. &lt;/div&gt;
  15665. &lt;/div&gt;
  15666. &lt;/div&gt;
  15667.  
  15668.  
  15669.  
  15670. &lt;p&gt;Whilst someone else claimed: “Look cheap and nasty.” &lt;/p&gt;
  15671.  
  15672.  
  15673.  
  15674. &lt;p&gt;However, at the same time, many fashion fans were desperate to nab the cheap shoes and many were keen to express this.&lt;/p&gt;
  15675.

  15740. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A BEAUTY product has sent shoppers into a frenzy over its lip-enhancing properties.&lt;/p&gt;
  15741.  
  15742.  
  15743.  
  15744. &lt;p&gt;The anti-aging lip balm won&amp;#8217;t break the bank either.&lt;/p&gt;
  15745.  
  15746.  
  15747.  
  15748. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28031163&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.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/05/shoppers-rave-anti-aging-balm-903252665.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28031163&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;Paula&amp;#039;s Choice&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A lip balm has made waves with beauty and skincare lovers (product photo)[/caption]
  15749.  
  15750.  
  15751.  
  15752. &lt;p&gt;Paula&amp;#8217;s Choice Skincare&amp;#8217;s Hyaluronic Acid and Peptide Lip Booster was originally $33 and is on sale for $24.75.&lt;/p&gt;
  15753.  
  15754.  
  15755.  
  15756. &lt;p&gt;The product works as a lip balm but also targets fine lines and other signs of aging.&lt;/p&gt;
  15757.  
  15758.  
  15759.  
  15760. &lt;p&gt;It contains potent ingredients, including &amp;#8220;a powerful blend of moisture-attracting hyaluronic acid, firming peptides and hydrating squalane,&amp;#8221; according to its description on the brand&amp;#8217;s website.&lt;/p&gt;
  15761.  
  15762.  
  15763.  
  15764. &lt;p&gt;The balm also comes in a &amp;#8220;cooling applicator&amp;#8221; for a comfortable finish.&lt;/p&gt;
  15765.  
  15766.  
  15767.

  15769.  
  15770.  
  15771.  
  15772. &lt;p&gt;The Lip Booster contains hyaluronic acid, which is known for its hydrating and anti-aging effects on the skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  15773.  
  15774.  
  15775.  
  15776. &lt;p&gt;According to the Cleveland Clinic, squalane can &amp;#8220;slow down the signs of aging when it comes to your skin.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15777.

  15799.  
  15800.  
  15801.  
  15802. &lt;p&gt;Several beauty fans sang their praises of the beauty buy in the reviews section.&lt;/p&gt;
  15803.  
  15804.  
  15805.  
  15806. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wonderful,&amp;#8221; one wrote of the balm.&lt;/p&gt;
  15807.  
  15808.  
  15809.  
  15810. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I chose this as the full-size gift with my last purchase. I thought it was just another lip balm when I bought it, but when I tried it on — wow.&lt;/p&gt;
  15811.  
  15812.  
  15813.  
  15814. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is wonderful for making your lips smooth and soft. If you only use a light coat, it&amp;#8217;s wonderful under lipstick. &lt;/p&gt;
  15815.  
  15816.  
  15817.  
  15818. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It makes my 67-year-old lips look lovely. &lt;/p&gt;

  15840.  
  15841. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Love the product and it&amp;#8217;s a must-try. Really impressive and there is nothing like it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15842.  
  15843.  
  15844.  
  15845. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s been five days or so and it looks like I got filler — no joke. My lips look full and hydrated,&amp;#8221; another said. &lt;/p&gt;
  15846.  
  15847.  
  15848.  
  15849. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am 34 and live in a very dry climate, but this product saves my lips and makes them even better.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15850.  
  15851.  
  15852.  
  15853. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My nail tech asked me last week if I had lip fillers, which I attribute to using this every night and Mally Beauty plumping lip gloss on that particular day,&amp;#8221; a third said.&lt;/p&gt;
  15854.  
  15855.  
  15856.  
  15857. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have reasonably full lips for being 44, but no one has asked me if I have lip filler for a really long time — until last week. &lt;/p&gt;
  15858.  
  15859.  
  15860.  
  15861. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d say I&amp;#8217;ve been using consistently for about 2 months. &lt;/p&gt;
  15862.  
  15863.  
  15864.  
  15865. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  15867. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Why do lips get thinner with age?&lt;/h3&gt;
  15868. &lt;/div&gt;
  15869. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  15870. &lt;div&gt;
  15871. &lt;p&gt;Collagen and hyaluronic acid are naturally occurring within the skin, however, when we age our levels decrease.&lt;/p&gt;
  15872. &lt;p&gt;The natural change leads to loss of volume in lips, making them appear thinner.&lt;/p&gt;
  15873. &lt;p&gt;According to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3840548/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;study (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;study&lt;/a&gt;, these changes in the skin can affect the elasticity.&lt;/p&gt;
  15874. &lt;/div&gt;
  15875. &lt;/div&gt;
  15876. &lt;/div&gt;
  15877.  
  15878.  
  15879.  
  15880. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Holy grail product, as far as I&amp;#8217;m concerned.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15881.  
  15882.  
  15883.  
  15884. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I apply this twice a day after brushing my teeth. My lips have never been more plump,&amp;#8221; one more said. &lt;/p&gt;
  15885.  
  15886.  
  15887.  
  15888. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I struggle with dry lips, and my lips have never been more hydrated. I love all things Paula&amp;#8217;s Choice but this might be my favorite product of all.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  15905. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;BRIGERTON has returned to Netflix and there is more rampant sex in this series than ever. &lt;/p&gt;
  15906.  
  15907.  
  15908.  
  15909. &lt;p&gt;But the leading actor of another period drama has revealed his show has even MORE steamy X-rated scenes in it. &lt;/p&gt;
  15910.  
  15911.  
  15912.

  15925. &lt;p&gt;Nicholas Galitzine stars in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25659478/first-look-julianne-moore-sky-drama-mary-george/&quot;&gt;Mary &amp;amp; George&lt;/a&gt;, which recently premiered on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky-atlantic/&quot;&gt;Sky Atlantic&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  15926.  
  15927.  
  15928.  
  15929. &lt;p&gt;The series is based on a true story and set in the 1600s, with Julianne Moore playing Mary Villiers, the Countess of Buckingham, and Nicholas as her son, George.&lt;/p&gt;
  15930.  
  15931.  
  15932.  
  15933. &lt;p&gt;In the show, Mary urges her son to seduce King James I of England to gain power &amp;#8211; and the drama features numerous hot and heavy orgies.&lt;/p&gt;
  15934.  
  15935.  
  15936.  
  15937. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to &lt;a href=&quot;https://ew.com/nicholas-galitzine-four-sex-scenes-one-day-mary-and-george-8623977&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Entertainment Weekly&lt;/a&gt;, Nicholas says things were so full-on that he had to film multiple sizzling scenes a day. &lt;/p&gt;
  15938.  
  15939.  
  15940.  
  15941. &lt;p&gt;“There was one day where we did about four sex scenes in one day,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  15942.  
  15943.  
  15944.  
  15945. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was going from room to room meeting strangers and saying, ‘Hi, I am Nick, nice to meet you. OK, this is the position we’re going to be in&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15946.  
  15947.  
  15948.  
  15949. &lt;p&gt;Nicholas even revealed the cast had an &amp;#8220;intimacy coordinator&amp;#8221; to help them with the kinky scenes. &lt;/p&gt;
  15950.  
  15951.  
  15952.  
  15953. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;We had such a wonderful intimacy coordinator, and for the day players who came in for these singular scenes, I hope I made them feel comfortable. But I&amp;#8217;m so proud of all that work that we did together.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15954.  
  15955.  
  15956.  
  15957. &lt;p&gt;Based on the non-fiction book The King’s Assassin, Mary &amp;amp; George sees Mary thrust her young son George, known to be beautiful and charismatic, into the spotlight.&lt;/p&gt;
  15958.

  16007. &lt;div&gt;
  16008. &lt;p&gt;WHEN Bridgerton landed during lockdown, it swept us all into a world of bejewelled gowns, lavish balls and endless bonking &amp;#8211; and the world went mad for it.&lt;br /&gt;Even the sexless second series didn’t damp down TV viewers’ lust for the Regency romp and fans have eagerly anticipated the arrival of the third series.&lt;br /&gt;And they won’t be disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;The opener finally gives us some action from gorgeous series two newlyweds Anthony and Kate in scenes that would make your granny blush.&lt;br /&gt;There’s drama and intrigue as the hunt for Lady Whistledown hots us, and laugh out loud comedy from the chaotic Featherington family.&lt;br /&gt;But ultimately the season belongs to new romantic leads Colin and Penelope, whose will-they-won’t-they love story is fun, flirty and utterly believable and its, ahem, climax at the end of episode four will take your breath away.&lt;br /&gt;Is Bridgerton still must-watch telly? Corset is.&lt;/p&gt;
  16009. &lt;/div&gt;
  16010. &lt;/div&gt;
  16011. &lt;/div&gt;
  16012.  
  16013.  
  16014.  
  16015. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the hotly-anticipated new series of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bridgerton/&quot;&gt;Bridgerton&lt;/a&gt; hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; last week. &lt;/p&gt;
  16016.  
  16017.  
  16018.  
  16019. &lt;p&gt;But the streaming giant is airing the series in two parts and, so far, only four episodes have dropped &amp;#8211; and the fourth featured a massive cliffhanger. &lt;/p&gt;
  16020.  
  16021.  
  16022.  
  16023. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27959006/unbearable-fume-bridgerton-blast-netflix-cliffhanger-ending/&quot;&gt;Fans are furious that they now have to wait &lt;/a&gt;until June 13 to find out how the cliffhanger is resolved. &lt;/p&gt;

  16048. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;FREDDIE Flintoff&amp;#8217;s face injuries appear to be healing after the star&amp;#8217;s horror crash filming Top Gear.&lt;/p&gt;
  16049.  
  16050.  
  16051.  
  16052. &lt;p&gt;The former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cricket/&quot;&gt;cricket&lt;/a&gt; superstar was left with facial and rib injuries after the car crash that almost cost him his life in December 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  16053.

  16065.  
  16066.  
  16067.  
  16068. &lt;p&gt;Whilst &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/andrew-flintoff/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Freddie&lt;/a&gt; has maintained a&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27383676/freddie-flintoffs-future-revealed-bbc-horror-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; largely low-profile since the shock incident&lt;/a&gt; he is slowly but surely making a return to the spotlight.&lt;/p&gt;
  16069.  
  16070.  
  16071.  
  16072. &lt;p&gt;The sports star was pictured today as he attended a nets session at Headingley, Leeds before the start of the T20 International later this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  16073.  
  16074.  
  16075.  
  16076. &lt;p&gt;Freddie&amp;#8217;s facial injuries appeared to be improving in comparison to the last time he was seen out and about.&lt;/p&gt;
  16077.  
  16078.  
  16079.  
  16080. &lt;p&gt;In the new snaps, he kept his eyes covered by a pair of sunglasses but scarring could be seen around other parts of his face.&lt;/p&gt;
  16081.  
  16082.  
  16083.  
  16084. &lt;p&gt;His nose appeared to still be damaged but significantly less so than when Freddie&amp;#8217;s injuries were first seen back in September of last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16085.  
  16086.  
  16087.  
  16088. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27383676/freddie-flintoffs-future-revealed-bbc-horror-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Eight months on from those pictures&lt;/a&gt;, Freddie&amp;#8217;s face appeared significantly less red with far fewer cuts as he had previously sported.&lt;/p&gt;
  16089.  
  16090.  
  16091.  
  16092. &lt;p&gt;Freddie appeared in good spirits for his day out as he could be seen clutching a ball as he walked along a field.&lt;/p&gt;
  16093.  
  16094.  
  16095.  
  16096. &lt;p&gt;He kept a smile on his face and cast a beady eye over the goings-on at the cricket ground.&lt;/p&gt;
  16097.  
  16098.  
  16099.  
  16100. &lt;p&gt;The former &lt;span id=&quot;1b139936-035e-4f73-a0c3-1c09d71d112c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;England&lt;/span&gt; cricket captain Freddie was rushed to hospital after the 124mph crash at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/top-gear/&quot;&gt;Top Gear&lt;/a&gt; test track in December 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  16101.  
  16102.  
  16103.  
  16104. &lt;p&gt;He was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/20761651/top-gear-investigating-crash-freddie-flintoff-top-gear/&quot;&gt;injured in an accident&lt;/a&gt; at the Dunsfold Aerodrome in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/surrey/&quot;&gt;Surrey.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  16128.  
  16129.  
  16130.  
  16131. &lt;p&gt;Filming for the show Flintoff co-presents with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paddy-mcguinness/&quot;&gt;Paddy McGuinness&lt;/a&gt; and automotive journalist &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-harris/&quot;&gt;Chris Harris&lt;/a&gt; was halted since the &lt;span id=&quot;c6a0921f-c676-4c0c-9efc-a76f1fa103ef&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;horror&lt;/span&gt; crash.&lt;/p&gt;
  16132.  
  16133.  
  16134.  
  16135. &lt;p&gt;Top Gear was later axed largely as a result of the incident and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24399435/freddie-flintoff-bbc-compensation-top-gear-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;seven-figure pay out Freddie received from the BBC&lt;/a&gt; in the aftermath.&lt;/p&gt;
  16136.  
  16137.  
  16138.  
  16139. &lt;p&gt;Freddie is planning to make a return to TV soon as his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; show Field Of Dreams will air a second and third series.&lt;/p&gt;

  16144.  
  16145.  
  16146.  
  16147. &lt;p&gt;Freddie has just wrapped filming Field Of Dreams series two in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/india/&quot;&gt;India&lt;/a&gt;, which could air later this year or early in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  16148.  
  16149.  
  16150.  
  16151. &lt;p&gt;It is understood that he has already signed on to shoot a third incarnation of the programme.&lt;/p&gt;
  16152.  
  16153.  
  16154.  
  16155. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider told The Sun earlier this year: “This shows that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26702331/freddie-flintoff-tv-comeback-top-gear-crash-injuries-healing/&quot;&gt;Freddie&lt;/a&gt; isn’t just happy to return to the show, which is very close to his heart, but also that he’s quite happy to continue working long-term on programmes for the Beeb.&lt;/p&gt;
  16156.  
  16157.  
  16158.  
  16159. &lt;p&gt;“It’s understood that, in addition to making the third series, he’s also considering a string of other projects they have offered him, but he’s taking his time and considering them all carefully.”&lt;/p&gt;

  16181.  
  16182.  
  16183. &lt;p&gt;Kompany, 38, led the Clarets to the Championship title on his first year with the club last season but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27802497/tottenham-vs-burnley-live-score-premier-league-updates/&quot;&gt;couldn&amp;#8217;t save them from the drop&lt;/a&gt; on his return to the Premier League.&lt;/p&gt;

  16192.  
  16193.  
  16194.  
  16195. &lt;p&gt;According to transfer insider &lt;a href=&quot;https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1792596090253938735&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Fabrizio Romano (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Fabrizio Romano&lt;/a&gt;, though, that hasn&amp;#8217;t stopped several clubs from considering the Manchester City legend as a candidate to take over as manager.&lt;/p&gt;
  16196.  
  16197.  
  16198.  
  16199. &lt;p&gt;And that includes Bayern, who have &amp;#8220;discussed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/vincent-kompany/&quot;&gt;Kompany&lt;/a&gt; internally&amp;#8221; among other possible successors for the departing Thomas Tuchel.&lt;/p&gt;
  16200.  
  16201.  
  16202.  
  16203. &lt;p&gt;That means the Belgian tactician could go from Championship football straight into the Champions League this coming season.&lt;/p&gt;
  16204.  
  16205.  
  16206.  
  16207. &lt;p&gt;Romano also suggested that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/3571589/brighton-hove-albion/&quot;&gt;Brighton&lt;/a&gt; are interested as well as they look for Roberto De Zerbi&amp;#8217;s replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
  16208.  
  16209.  
  16210.  
  16211. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1249869/bayern-munich/&quot;&gt;Bayern&lt;/a&gt; have been struggling to find a new manager after failing to convince a raft of top targets.&lt;/p&gt;
  16212.  
  16213.  
  16214.  
  16215. &lt;p&gt;Xabi Alonso posed as the Bavarians&amp;#8217; favourite to take over at the dugout but their former player decided to stay at Bayern Leverkusen.&lt;/p&gt;
  16216.  
  16217.  
  16218.  
  16219. &lt;p&gt;Alonso also turned down the opportunity to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.&lt;/p&gt;
  16220.  
  16221.  
  16222.  
  16223. &lt;p&gt;Aston Villa boss Unai Emery rejected the Bundesliga giants&amp;#8217; advances as well and instead put pen to paper on fresh terms at Villa Park.&lt;/p&gt;
  16224.  
  16225.  
  16226.  
  16227. &lt;p&gt;Bayern were also knocked back by ex-Manchester United caretaker Ralf Rangnick as well as Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann.&lt;/p&gt;
  16228.  
  16229.  
  16230.  
  16231. &lt;p&gt;Benfica boss Roger Schmidt is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28006594/bayern-munich-manager-tuchel-de-zerbi-roger-schmidt/&quot;&gt;latest candidate to turn the Munich outfit down&lt;/a&gt; as he also opted to stay put in Lisbon.&lt;/p&gt;

  16291. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;THE “real” stalker Martha from Baby Reindeer said Muslims “hate us and are outbreeding us” and blamed Labour for a mass stabbing at a Glasgow hotel which housed asylum seekers.&lt;/p&gt;
  16292.  
  16293.  
  16294.  
  16295. &lt;p&gt;Fiona Harvey’s furious rants &amp;#8211; all contained in emails sent to Sir Keir Starmer &amp;#8211; included a claim that there were “too many foreign nutters” in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  16296.  
  16297.  
  16298.  
  16299. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28032909&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/claimed-new-netflix-drama-baby-896910255_3ffa8f.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28032909&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Fiona Harvey bombarded the Labour leader with hundreds of emails.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  16312.  
  16313.  
  16314.  
  16315. &lt;p&gt;The details emerged from a batch of 276 emails seen by The Scottish Sun, spanning January to September 2020, when Scottish law graduate Harvey bombarded the Labour leader with messages.&lt;/p&gt;
  16316.  
  16317.  
  16318.  
  16319. &lt;p&gt;We revealed yesterday how Harvey, 58, originally from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, abused Starmer, launched vicious attacks on public figures and celebs, and even gloated about the deaths of his family members.&lt;/p&gt;
  16320.  
  16321.  
  16322.  
  16323. &lt;p&gt;The Netflix &lt;span id=&quot;6802ba90-631c-407d-99d8-befed39ebd2f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;show&lt;/span&gt; sees Richard Gadd’s character, Donny, being stalked by a Scottish woman, Martha, but web sleuths pinpointed Harvey as the inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;
  16324.  
  16325.  
  16326.  
  16327. &lt;p&gt;She has insisted she did not stalk Gadd in real life &amp;#8211; and will sue for defamation &amp;#8211; but the disturbing emails seen by The Scottish Sun cast sinister new light on Ms Harvey’s actions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16328.  
  16329.  
  16330.  
  16331. &lt;p&gt;We told yesterday how she abused her local Labour MP Tulip Siddiq &amp;#8211; MP for Hampstead and Kilburn. &lt;/p&gt;
  16332.  
  16333.  
  16334.  
  16335. &lt;p&gt;Ms Harvey repeatedly called her a “Bengali” linked to a defamatory term.&lt;/p&gt;
  16336.  
  16337.  
  16338.  
  16339. &lt;p&gt;And today we reveal her rants about Muslims and the asylum system.&lt;/p&gt;
  16340.  
  16341.  
  16342.  
  16343. &lt;p&gt;Her attack on Muslims came in an email on April 15, 2020, where she complained about media coverage of the deaths of two Muslim people who caught Covid.&lt;/p&gt;
  16344.  
  16345.  
  16346.  
  16347. &lt;p&gt;In the message to the Labour leader, copied to three other individuals, she said: “I do wish they would shut up about” the deaths.&lt;/p&gt;
  16348.  
  16349.  
  16350.  
  16351. &lt;p&gt;The email added: “Sky &lt;span id=&quot;f669773b-33dd-4a1a-83bd-ab4bc7318da1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;TV&lt;/span&gt; have never shut up re this&lt;/p&gt;
  16352.  
  16353.  
  16354.  
  16355. &lt;p&gt;“No one gives a &lt;span id=&quot;56a75e81-327e-40e1-b382-9574e7077027&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;flying&lt;/span&gt; f*** because these people hate us and are outbreeding us “In central &lt;span id=&quot;d75194bb-6199-4c64-a350-542fca080fe9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt; they treat us worse than s***&lt;/p&gt;
  16356.  
  16357.  
  16358.  
  16359. &lt;p&gt;“Many many other people have died of all nationalities&lt;/p&gt;
  16360.  
  16361.  
  16362.  
  16363. &lt;p&gt;“So cut the c*** keir “No one cares about the persistent whingeing of Bengali Muslims and Muslims in general “Grow up little boy”. &lt;/p&gt;
  16364.  
  16365.  
  16366.  
  16367. &lt;p&gt;We told yesterday how Harvey, from Camden, &lt;span id=&quot;a4ef585d-9c0a-4abd-a1aa-ffaa4d46081f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt;, hounded Starmer and also made horrific remarks about murdered MP Jo Cox and &lt;span id=&quot;25bce10d-76fd-4ffc-b9b6-afb174c6129d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;TV&lt;/span&gt; host Kate Garraway’s husband, Derek Draper, who was critically ill with Covid and ultimately died in January this year.&lt;/p&gt;

  16384.  
  16385.  
  16386.  
  16387. &lt;p&gt;The emails &amp;#8211; from two separate email addresses &amp;#8211; were among hundreds forwarded on by Harvey to The Scottish Sun over a period of several years.&lt;/p&gt;
  16388.  
  16389.  
  16390.  
  16391. &lt;p&gt;Like those seen in the &lt;span id=&quot;b4e93523-af93-4446-bcf7-3269b2f904df&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;show&lt;/span&gt;, all are in a trademark style, littered with punctuations and spelling mistakes, with few full stops and a line &lt;span id=&quot;e6056bfc-e29c-46c0-8dde-9efabc03c2c4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;space&lt;/span&gt; between each sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  16392.  
  16393.  
  16394.  
  16395. &lt;p&gt;In another &lt;span id=&quot;a92bd435-29c3-4d5d-9fa6-30ab98039777&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;email&lt;/span&gt;, on June 27, 2020, Ms Harvey suggested to Starmer that “Blairite policies” had led to a mass &lt;span id=&quot;e260f598-e98d-4c65-9a61-2ae0db705713&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;stabbing&lt;/span&gt; at a Glasgow hotel which housed asylum seekers &amp;#8211; and said Donald Trump “wouldn’t put up with this”. &lt;/p&gt;
  16396.  
  16397.  
  16398.  
  16399. &lt;p&gt;The notorious attack on June 26, 2020, saw Badreddin Abadlla Adam, 28, from Sudan, shot dead by &lt;span id=&quot;57a618db-f308-4961-bd6a-0ae7ec64ec5f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;police&lt;/span&gt; after going berserk at the &lt;span id=&quot;5956ccd5-3b6e-4fef-ad99-60c01d226f98&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Park&lt;/span&gt; Inn, used by &lt;span id=&quot;94249c54-f4fa-4219-8fb1-50e9c9c7f214&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt; Office contractor Mears.&lt;/p&gt;
  16400.  
  16401.  
  16402.  
  16403. &lt;p&gt;In an email on June 27, sent to Starmer &amp;#8211; with Boris Johnson and two councillors copied in &amp;#8211; Ms Harvey wrote: “Keir you happy at the bliarite policies &lt;/p&gt;
  16404.  
  16405.  
  16406.  
  16407. &lt;p&gt;“Some of these people stabbed yesterday were seventeen eighteen and twenty “That’s three hundred scottish family members directly affectedby appalling blairite immigration politicies so bleeding heart liberals at doughy st and the lib dems can say we are doing our bitfor asylum seekers”&lt;/p&gt;
  16408.  
  16409.  
  16410.  
  16411. &lt;p&gt;She added: “The &lt;span id=&quot;93983bcd-8a3d-4de9-9ea9-1f79841a856a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;police&lt;/span&gt; can’t cope “You have too many foreign nutters in the uk” &lt;/p&gt;
  16412.  
  16413.  
  16414.  
  16415. &lt;p&gt;Ms Harvey also made an apparent reference to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/humza-yousaf/&quot;&gt;Humza Yousaf&lt;/a&gt;, who was Scotland’s &lt;span id=&quot;8e676122-a405-44c4-acc9-c8656bd156fa&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Justice&lt;/span&gt; Secretary at the time and later became First Minister. &lt;/p&gt;
  16416.  
  16417.  
  16418.  
  16419. &lt;p&gt;She said: “We have enough problems in the &lt;span id=&quot;e4f634d8-ab9a-427f-baf1-8b1f82b8da1d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;uk&lt;/span&gt; without all these foreigners kicking off and kick off they do&lt;/p&gt;
  16420.  
  16421.  
  16422.  
  16423. &lt;p&gt;“And as for that numptie &lt;span id=&quot;4bcdeebc-9013-4088-980a-af3ce4fe3963&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;justice&lt;/span&gt; minister in scotland …. Eveyone loathes him “Trump wouldn’t put up with this &lt;/p&gt;
  16424.  
  16425.  
  16426.  
  16427. &lt;p&gt;“He’s. Real leader” In another email on June 28, sent to a wider list including Starmer and her local police in Kilburn, London, she said: “Now obviously I’m not best pleased at the &lt;span id=&quot;097a6597-60b7-4ad4-a5cd-039d6e2bc04b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;events&lt;/span&gt; I. Glasgow on Friday &lt;/p&gt;
  16428.  
  16429.  
  16430.  
  16431. &lt;p&gt;“I trained as a lawyer up near blythe wood square so did all my friends “They have all has to shut businesses as the immigration. Lawyers and immigration. Workers took over &lt;/p&gt;
  16432.  
  16433.  
  16434.  
  16435. &lt;p&gt;“I know the mother of one of the workers stabbed “That kind of thing will kick off in canden because camden is a shAmbles too” &lt;/p&gt;
  16436.  
  16437.  
  16438.  
  16439. &lt;p&gt;Ms Harvey also ranted about Somalian people and Irish people in an email sent to Starmer, her MP Ms Siddiq on June 29, 2020. &lt;/p&gt;
  16440.  
  16441.  
  16442.  
  16443. &lt;p&gt;She wrote: “No one is going to put up with these cheeky Somalian s*** all up and down the stairwells taking &lt;span id=&quot;59d4f714-979a-4204-ac36-6f50dddaed98&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/span&gt; all &lt;span id=&quot;d6280465-3c6d-47ed-8b42-bc5f4cbf3101&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; “No one will put up with the Muslim so called women s*** in the trees either&lt;/p&gt;
  16444.  
  16445.  
  16446.  
  16447. &lt;p&gt;“No one will put up with the Irish nutters on camden council either.”&lt;br&gt;Labour declined to comment.&lt;/p&gt;

  16469. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HE is one of Ibiza’s best-loved DJs and has played on the White Isle every summer for more than two decades.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16470.  
  16471.  
  16472.  
  16473. &lt;p&gt;But while his 60th birthday is just a few years away, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/music/7906740/roger-sanchez-on-the-future-of-dance-music-and-how-to-make-it-as-a-dj/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Roger Sanchez&lt;/a&gt; tells me he’s not slowing down and has started stem-cell therapy treatment to keep his body in condition after years of partying knackered his knees.&lt;/p&gt;
  16474.  
  16475.  
  16476.  
  16477. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28029731&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/2024/05/NINTCHDBPICT000903198766.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28029731&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;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Roger Sanchez has started stem-cell therapy treatment to keep his body in condition after years of partying knackered his knees[/caption]
  16478.  
  16479.  
  16480.  
  16481. &lt;p&gt;“I have osteoarthritis in my knees from breakdancing,” the Another Chance hitmaker tells me from inside Pacha, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/ibiza/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ibiza’s&lt;/a&gt; coolest nightclub, where he will play for Flower Power this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  16482.  
  16483.  
  16484.  
  16485. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve done some stem-cell shots, and that’s helped. And I have to train. I’ve got to hit the gym at least three or four times a week whenever possible, if not more.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16486.  
  16487.  
  16488.  
  16489. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/music/11097490/roger-sanchez-selects-ten-strictly-rhythm-as-the-revered-label-celebrates-its-30th-anniversary/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Roger&lt;/a&gt; has the body — and energy — of a man half his age and reveals he’s lost 4st after getting into a rut.&lt;/p&gt;
  16490.  
  16491.  
  16492.  
  16493. &lt;p&gt;He says: “I was about 19st. I’m 6ft but was looking rounded.&lt;/p&gt;
  16494.  
  16495.  
  16496.  
  16497. &lt;p&gt;“I went down to 15st, which is a dramatic drop. But now I’ve put on muscle weight so I’m about 15½st. I have to watch what I eat now but my weight is muscle — I can see it in my arms.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16498.  
  16499.  
  16500.  
  16501. &lt;p&gt;American-born Roger started his DJ career in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/new-york/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; clubs and got his big break in 2001 with No1 smash Another Chance.&lt;/p&gt;
  16502.  
  16503.  
  16504.  
  16505. &lt;p&gt;Since then he’s worked on huge tracks with a number of big-name acts, including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/madonna/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/14133518/daft-punk-thomas-bangalter-who/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Daft Punk&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gwen-stefani/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gewn Stefani’s&lt;/a&gt; group No Doubt — with his remix of their song Hella Good winning him a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/grammy-awards/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Grammy&lt;/a&gt; award in 2002.&lt;/p&gt;
  16506.  
  16507.  
  16508.  
  16509. &lt;p&gt;He’s now back at Pacha all summer, with acts including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/boy-george/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Boy George&lt;/a&gt; booked in for guest shows over the next couple of months.&lt;/p&gt;
  16510.  
  16511.  
  16512.  
  16513. &lt;p&gt;And it seems Roger is perfectly at home in the club, which is home to their legendary Flower Power parties every weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  16514.  
  16515.  
  16516.  
  16517. &lt;p&gt;“There’s also been a change of team at Pacha, with new owners buying it, and they’re very dialled in.&lt;/p&gt;

  16541.  
  16542.  
  16543.  
  16544. &lt;p&gt;Roger’s 2006 hit Again recently went viral after his friend, Turkish DJ Mahmut Orhan, remixed it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16545.  
  16546.  
  16547.  
  16548. &lt;p&gt;The video has scored 60million views and counting, and Roger admits the renewed love for the song means fans at Pacha are begging to hear it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16549.  
  16550.  
  16551.  
  16552. &lt;p&gt;And as well as requesting songs, Roger says some clubbers go even further in a bid to catch his attention.&lt;/p&gt;
  16553.  
  16554.  
  16555.  
  16556. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Legendary parties&lt;/h2&gt;
  16557.  
  16558.  
  16559.  
  16560. &lt;p&gt;He says with a laugh: “There have been people losing articles of clothing in front of the stage.” &lt;/p&gt;
  16561.  
  16562.  
  16563.  
  16564. &lt;p&gt;And he adds of girls in the crowd: “They’ve had my name written across their chests. That’s hap-pened — a whole line of girls just kind of, you know, R-O-G-E-R S-A-N-C-H-E-Z — like literally the whole thing.&lt;/p&gt;
  16565.  
  16566.  
  16567.  
  16568. &lt;p&gt;“It’s kind of like, ‘Hey, that’s nice’. And then it’s back to the business at hand.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16569.  
  16570.  
  16571.  
  16572. &lt;p&gt;What a professional.&lt;/p&gt;
  16573.  
  16574.  
  16575.  
  16576. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Moore the merrier&lt;/h2&gt;

  16578.  
  16579.

  16581.  
  16582.  
  16583.  
  16584. &lt;p&gt;The horror film, called The Substance, received a 13-MINUTE standing ovation following a screening at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cannes-film-festival/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cannes Film Festival&lt;/a&gt;, and Demi is even being tipped for her first Oscar.&lt;/p&gt;

  16649.  
  16650.  
  16651.  
  16652. &lt;p&gt;Alongside 3,000 other revellers, I danced non-stop as Sophie stepped up on to the stage next to the famous DJ booth to perform some of her best hits.&lt;/p&gt;
  16653.  
  16654.

  16660. &lt;p&gt;“I first came to this club back in 2000,” Sophie told the packed crowd, who stood shoulder to shoulder inside the heaving main room.&lt;/p&gt;
  16661.  
  16662.  
  16663.  
  16664. &lt;p&gt;Playing her cult Noughties Spiller hit Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love), Sophie added: “This is the song that first brought me here.&lt;/p&gt;
  16665.  
  16666.  
  16667.  
  16668. &lt;p&gt;“Think of all the people who have danced on this dance floor. Looking around the room now I can see you’re all great dancers.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16669.  
  16670.  
  16671.  
  16672. &lt;p&gt;Buoyed by her compliments, I danced, drank and sang until 4am – with Pacha’s new resident DJ Bora Uzer playing a huge non-stop set, with hit after hit blaring out.&lt;/p&gt;
  16673.

  16795.  
  16796. &lt;p&gt;Due to kick off next month, J-Lo’s This Is Me . . . Now tour was set to tell Ben and Jen’s two-decade love story – and how they finally made it down the aisle.&lt;/p&gt;
  16797.  
  16798.  
  16799.  
  16800. &lt;p&gt;As well as emotional love songs penned by Jen, the staging and interludes were all created to show how she had found true love after years of searching for The One.&lt;/p&gt;
  16801.  
  16802.  
  16803.  
  16804. &lt;p&gt;But with Ben ditching his wedding ring and uncertainty about what will now happen between them, her team are facing a crisis as to what to do next.&lt;/p&gt;
  16805.  
  16806.  
  16807.  
  16808. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “It’s a mess. No one quite knows what to do. J-Lo wants the show to go on but this big love fest of a return is now tainted. One option is to rework large chunks of the show although that would cost a fortune.&lt;/p&gt;
  16809.  
  16810.  
  16811.  
  16812. &lt;p&gt;“ Everyone is hoping Ben and Jen fix their differences but it’s not looking good.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16813.  
  16814.  
  16815.  
  16816. &lt;p&gt;I don’t even want to see ­pictures of my ex, so I can only imagine how Jen is feeling at the prospect of embarking on a full tour all about Ben.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17066. &lt;div&gt;
  17067. &lt;p&gt;FOR retailers and brands, the buzz around Regency drama Bridgerton gives them the perfect opportunity to tap into the “hot new thing” and capture consumer demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  17068. &lt;p&gt;Catherine Shuttleworth, a consultant at Savvy, said: “Nothing is hotter than Bridgerton at the moment, especially with women. And women account for 80 per cent of purchasing decisions in retail.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17069. &lt;p&gt;The ability to work from home and binge-watch shows means less chance for people to gossip face-to-face in the office or discuss last night’s episode.&lt;/p&gt;
  17070. &lt;p&gt;Instead they react in real-time on social media. That means viewers generally have their phones open, scrolling, and are more likely to see online adverts prompting them to buy something.&lt;/p&gt;
  17071. &lt;p&gt;It is not just the extraordinary success of Bridgerton that makes it so appealing to brands.&lt;/p&gt;
  17072. &lt;p&gt;Catherine added: “Nothing particularly bad happens in it, its casting is progressive, and it’s unlikely that a brand would get a backlash from associating with it.&lt;/p&gt;
  17073. &lt;p&gt;“They wouldn’t, for example, want to do a Baby Reindeer hook-up.”&lt;/p&gt;

  17090. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;EASTENDERS’ Whitney Dean has been left devastated after foster daughter Britney dropped a huge bombshell on her during her wedding.&lt;/p&gt;
  17091.  
  17092.  
  17093.  
  17094. &lt;p&gt;The market trader &amp;#8211; who is played by actress &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/shona-mcgarty/&quot;&gt;Shona McGarty&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; soap &amp;#8211; was due to marry today but thought she had cancelled the wedding after going into an early labour with baby Dolly last week.&lt;/p&gt;
  17095.  
  17096.  
  17097.  
  17098. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28029607&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/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-20-at-18.19.59.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28029607&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;538&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Whitney was overjoyed to be marrying Zack &amp;#8211; until Britney burst her bubble[/caption]

  17101.  
  17102. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28029604&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/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-20-at-18.19.41.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28029604&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;544&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Zack cheated on Whitney with her best friend Lauren Branning &amp;#8211; and now she knows[/caption]

  17104.  
  17105.  
  17106. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_28029603&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/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-20-at-18.19.09.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-28029603&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Whitney was visibly devastated by the reveal as they stood at the registry office[/caption]
  17107.  
  17108.  
  17109.  
  17110. &lt;p&gt;However tonight her intended Zack Hudson realised he’d forgotten to cancel the wedding, leading Whitney to suggest they just get married anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
  17111.  
  17112.  
  17113.  
  17114. &lt;p&gt;As the pair ran around trying to firm everything up, they made it just in time and Whitney walked down the aisle to Zack.&lt;/p&gt;
  17115.  
  17116.  
  17117.  
  17118. &lt;p&gt;Viewers know he has been keeping a dark secret from Whitney &amp;#8211; that he slept with her best friend Lauren weeks ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  17119.  
  17120.  
  17121.  
  17122. &lt;p&gt;And while their foster daughter Britney found out &amp;#8211; he thought he had convinced her to keep quiet but that didn’t go as planned.&lt;/p&gt;
  17123.  
  17124.  
  17125.  
  17126. &lt;p&gt;Whitney launched into her vows, telling Zack: “Well, I just wanted to say that I never thought any of this would happen to me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17127.  
  17128.  
  17129.  
  17130. &lt;p&gt;“And I don’t mean the wedding, I mean finding someone as wonderful as you Zack &amp;#8211; especially having a family with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17131.  
  17132.  
  17133.  
  17134. &lt;p&gt;“We have three daughters, Britney, Dolly and baby Peach who will live in our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2734099/hearts/&quot;&gt;hearts&lt;/a&gt; forever. And you are going to be the best dad, just like you’ll be the best husband.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17135.  
  17136.  
  17137.  
  17138. &lt;p&gt;“I know you love me and I can trust you completely and that you’ll never let me down. So I vow that I’ll try my best to always listen to you, love you with all my heart.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17139.  
  17140.  
  17141.  
  17142. &lt;p&gt;“To always believe in the best of you, knowing that you’ll never hurt me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17143.  
  17144.  
  17145.  
  17146. &lt;p&gt;But as Whitney was speaking, Britney chimed up: “You don’t know that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17147.

  17235. &lt;p&gt;SLIGHTLY pricier than some others sold in a pack at 35p per doughnut but these in-store bakery treats were so tasty they are well worth the price.&lt;/p&gt;
  17236.  
  17237.  
  17238.  
  17239. &lt;p&gt;There is no scrimping on the icing and they are topped off with an extremely generous amount of choc flavour sugar strands too.&lt;/p&gt;
  17240.  
  17241.  
  17242.  
  17243. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Evenly sized, gooey and delicious. When you bite in you get all the flavours of a chocolate cake or brownie but in a doughnut.&lt;/p&gt;
  17244.  
  17245.  
  17246.  
  17247. &lt;p&gt;The dough itself is fluffy and not greasy either. Yummy, even though they were a bit messy to eat.&lt;/p&gt;
  17248.  
  17249.  
  17250.  
  17251. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5/5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  17259. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Filled doughnut, £2.55 each&lt;/h2&gt;
  17260.  
  17261.

It was also impossible to taste the dough for all the saccharine additions&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Damien McFadden&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  17264.  
  17265.  
  17266.  
  17267. &lt;p&gt;AMERICAN brand &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/krispy-kreme/&quot;&gt;Krispy Kreme&lt;/a&gt; is the go-to for many doughnut fans but the price of the treats is high.&lt;/p&gt;
  17268.  
  17269.  
  17270.  
  17271. &lt;p&gt;This original filled version was patty shaped and incredibly sweet, covered all over with sugary glazing and stuffed with a jammy filling.&lt;/p&gt;
  17272.  
  17273.  
  17274.  
  17275. &lt;p&gt;For me it was far too intense, sickly sweet and tricky to eat. It was also impossible to taste the dough for all the saccharine additions.&lt;/p&gt;
  17276.  
  17277.  
  17278.  
  17279. &lt;p&gt;If you have an incredibly sweet tooth maybe you’ll fare better but, at this price, I wouldn’t part with cash for one of these again.&lt;/p&gt;
  17280.

  17296.  
  17297.  
  17298.  
  17299. &lt;p&gt;IF you fancy something a bit trendy, try this hybrid “yumnut” ring from the in-store bakery. It looks like a doughnut but is made with from the butter-enriched dough used in Yum Yums.&lt;/p&gt;
  17300.  
  17301.  
  17302.  
  17303. &lt;p&gt;The flavour is much more patisserie-like, with loads of light, indulgent layers.&lt;/p&gt;
  17304.  
  17305.  
  17306.  
  17307. &lt;p&gt;The dough is fried like a normal doughnut then covered with a sweet, buttery, sugar glaze.&lt;/p&gt;
  17308.  
  17309.  
  17310.  
  17311. &lt;p&gt;Very decadent but tasty with a lovely sweet vanilla smell and taste.&lt;/p&gt;
  17312.  
  17313.  
  17314.  
  17315. &lt;p&gt;Very rich so one is plenty, luckily as the price is high. But &lt;span id=&quot;41bf4656-b30e-4411-bdfb-0d1b90f7aac2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; for a special treat.&lt;/p&gt;

  17332.  
  17333.  
  17334.  
  17335. &lt;p&gt;TRADITIONAL style sugar-coated jammy doughnuts that deliver all the flavour you’d expect at a super price.&lt;/p&gt;
  17336.  
  17337.  
  17338.  
  17339. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fluffy, light and soft, these are sweet and pillowy when you bite in with plenty of oozy filling in the middle, so get ready to wipe your chin!&lt;/p&gt;
  17340.  
  17341.  
  17342.  
  17343. &lt;p&gt;I really enjoyed the nostalgia of these in-store doughnuts, and no hole in the middle means they are very filling too.&lt;/p&gt;
  17344.  
  17345.  
  17346.  
  17347. &lt;p&gt;Excellent value for &lt;span id=&quot;82337b30-50bf-4860-8e42-cea90f5ecb6d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt; at 18p per doughnut and, although they are dusted with sugar, the sweetness doesn’t tip overboard.&lt;/p&gt;
  17348.  
  17349.  
  17350.  
  17351. &lt;p&gt;Perfectly for feeding families.&lt;/p&gt;

  17368.  
  17369.  
  17370.  
  17371. &lt;p&gt;DESPITE looking plain and uninspiring these freshly-made fried goodies didn’t disappoint on flavour.&lt;/p&gt;
  17372.  
  17373.  
  17374.  
  17375. &lt;p&gt;The traditional-style ring doughnut was extremely generous – plump and bouncy with a lovely soft, melting texture, and bigger than your average supermarket offering too.&lt;/p&gt;
  17376.  
  17377.  
  17378.  
  17379. &lt;p&gt;On top, a lovely layer of good-quality chocolate fondant icing, which adds just the right amount of sweetness.&lt;/p&gt;
  17380.  
  17381.  
  17382.  
  17383. &lt;p&gt;There were some discrepancies in appearance but nothing that affected the enjoyment of eating.&lt;/p&gt;

  17404.  
  17405.  
  17406.  
  17407. &lt;p&gt;AT around 34p a doughnut, these made-in-store goodies offer excellent value for money.&lt;/p&gt;
  17408.  
  17409.  
  17410.  
  17411. &lt;p&gt;The traditional fluffy ring-style dough is smothered in &lt;span id=&quot;9ee01b47-7cbe-4e50-bf92-ef4ac92c7258&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; icing and sprinkles which gives these a real party feel, so they are ideal for birthdays or taking as a gift to any celebrations.&lt;/p&gt;
  17412.  
  17413.  
  17414.  
  17415. &lt;p&gt;They are very sweet which isn’t surprising given the generous topping but I liked that there was no stinginess with the decorations and all the rings were evenly sized.&lt;/p&gt;
  17416.  
  17417.  
  17418.  
  17419. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The dough wasn’t bad either, perhaps not the fluffiest but with a decent bounce and nice chewy texture.&lt;/p&gt;

  17436.  
  17437.  
  17438.  
  17439. &lt;p&gt;ALDI’S hit the sweet spot on both palate and price. At just 29p per doughnut, they’re one of the best value that I tried.&lt;/p&gt;
  17440.  
  17441.  
  17442.  
  17443. &lt;p&gt;While they weren’t my top rated on the taste front, there’s not too much to complain about either. Perfectly uniform in size, these four rings are topped with plenty of icing and a decent smattering of sugar sprinkles for a saccharine hit on the tongue and on the nose.&lt;/p&gt;
  17444.  
  17445.  
  17446.  
  17447. &lt;p&gt;The dough itself was a bit disappointing, rather pale and slightly underbaked which was a pity. Still enough to enjoy for elevenses though.&lt;/p&gt;

  17463. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;TOWIE&amp;#8217;s Diags today sparked a new feud with his co-star as he publicly snubbed them after on-screen row.&lt;/p&gt;
  17464.  
  17465.  
  17466.  
  17467. &lt;p&gt;The reality star has taken the step to unfollow &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/elma-pazar/&quot;&gt;Elma Pazar&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;#8211; who shot to fame on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; – after he had a short-lived romance with her last year.&lt;/p&gt;

  17484.

  17491. &lt;p&gt;But the plumber quickly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24675355/towie-diags-official-jodie-wells-after-elma-pazar-split/&quot;&gt;moved on to Towie extra Jodie Wells&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; while keeping Elma on the hook.&lt;/p&gt;
  17492.  
  17493.  
  17494.  
  17495. &lt;p&gt;However the womanizer shared some &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/23923659/towie-diags-cheating-scandal-kisses-costar-new-girl/&quot;&gt;drunken smooches with Elma&lt;/a&gt; after he had already started seeing Jodie.&lt;/p&gt;
  17496.  
  17497.  
  17498.  
  17499. &lt;p&gt;Elma later opened about her feelings following their split.&lt;/p&gt;
  17500.  
  17501.  
  17502.  
  17503. &lt;p&gt;She told The Sun: &amp;#8220;I need to focus on myself a little bit more and deal with my own issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  17504.  
  17505.  
  17506.  
  17507. &lt;p&gt;“Me and Diags are okay, during the series you see me open up about how I&amp;#8217;m really feeling and me just being truth to myself really.&lt;/p&gt;
  17508.  
  17509.  
  17510.  
  17511. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You never know what can happen in the&amp;nbsp;future.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17512.  
  17513.  
  17514.  
  17515. &lt;p&gt;But after getting into another argument recently on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-only-way-is-essex/&quot;&gt;Towie&lt;/a&gt;, Diags – real name James Bennewith &amp;#8211; has decided to cut all ties with Elma.&lt;/p&gt;
  17516.  
  17517.  
  17518.  
  17519. &lt;p&gt;It comes after he unfollowed her on all social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  17520.  
  17521.  
  17522.  
  17523. &lt;p&gt;This was hot off the heels of his girlfriend Jodie Wells confiding in co-star Junaid Ahmed about her relationship with Diags.&lt;/p&gt;

  17553.

  17597. &lt;div&gt;
  17598. &lt;p&gt;Politician Nigel Farage bagged a staggering £1.5million sign-on fee for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last year and lasted 23 days.&lt;/p&gt;
  17599. &lt;p&gt;Rapper Ray J was reportedly offered £810,000 to appear on Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) in 2017 but left after seven days.&lt;/p&gt;
  17600. &lt;p&gt;Stormy Daniels was rumoured to have been offered £750k to appear on CBB only to not show up and pull out of the show before going &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45297640&quot;&gt;in&lt;/a&gt;. She claimed to have pulled out due to a custody battle for her daughter making her feel &amp;#8220;uncomfortable&amp;#8221; about going on TV &lt;/p&gt;
  17601. &lt;p&gt;Former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallet was reportedly paid £750,000 to appear on CBB in 2018. She quit the show after falsely claiming fellow housemate Ryan Thomas had punched her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17602. &lt;p&gt;TV presenter Noel Edmonds was paid £600,000 to appear on I’m A Celebrity in 2018, which was then the highest fee offered, but was voted out by the public first.&lt;/p&gt;
  17603. &lt;p&gt;David Gest lasted 13 days in the CBB house despite reportedly being paid £600,000. He pulled out due to ‘medical reasons’ on the 2016 show&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-45e0d9b8-7fff-df70-59f9-32e1c249f3d0&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  17815.  
  17816.  
  17817.  
  17818. &lt;p&gt;But when the officers arrived to arrest the alleged Rolex thief, he was nowhere to be found.&lt;/p&gt;
  17819.  
  17820.  
  17821.

  17827.  
  17828.  
  17829.  
  17830. &lt;p&gt;The 23-year-old woman’s boyfriend had arranged to pick her up at the spot in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/brazil/&quot;&gt;Brazilian&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;city of Vila Velha and happened to pull up just at that moment,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://g1.globo.com/es/espirito-santo/noticia/2021/02/25/jovem-assalta-jovem-e-e-atropelado-pelo-namorado-da-vitima-em-vila-velha-es.ghtml&quot;&gt;Globo reports.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17831.  
  17832.  
  17833.  
  17834. &lt;p&gt;He then ploughed his car into the hapless thief whose bike got caught under the car but managed to get away.&lt;/p&gt;
  17835.  
  17836.  
  17837.  
  17838. &lt;p&gt;Footage shows the thief hobbling down the road as the woman and her boyfriend, along with passers-by, give chase.&lt;/p&gt;
  17839.  
  17840.  
  17841.

  17843.  
  17844.  
  17845.  
  17846. &lt;p&gt;As he tries to get up, one of those pursuing him launches a karate kick at him as others on foot and bikes catch up and begin to set about him.&lt;/p&gt;
  17847.  
  17848.  
  17849.  
  17850. &lt;p&gt;According to the victim’s boyfriend, the thief was armed and his gun fell onto the pavement when he was attacked, in March 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
