  88.  
  89.  
  90.  
  91. &lt;p&gt;The club’s recruitment strategy has also faced scrutiny following another &lt;span id=&quot;58e3881c-451c-4ad2-8ebe-308e98d566e7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; splurge of nearly £180million.&lt;/p&gt;
  92.  
  93.  
  94.  
  95. &lt;p&gt;Red Devils co-owner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot;&gt;Sir Jim Ratcliffe&lt;/a&gt; and Co were set to get rid of Ten Hag after the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fa-cup/&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/a&gt; final.&lt;/p&gt;
  96.  
  97.  
  98.  
  99. &lt;p&gt;They ended up extending his contract and employing a new coaching team around him following their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28133257/man-utd-city-garnacho-mainoo-fa-cup-final/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;162bf4f8-b54c-4d42-856b-78491160178e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Wembley&lt;/span&gt; win over City.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. &lt;p&gt;But the Dutchman was axed after just nine Prem games this season with United languishing down in 14th in the table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107. &lt;p&gt;The former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1232664/ajax/&quot;&gt;Ajax&lt;/a&gt; chief’s staff were also dismissed — all with sizeable pay-offs.&lt;/p&gt;
  108.  
  109.  
  110.  
  111. &lt;p&gt;It cost around £15m to sack Ten&amp;nbsp;Hag alone, while they had to &lt;span id=&quot;a355108b-41e3-4164-8636-54f29897684c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;shell&lt;/span&gt; out&amp;nbsp;another £10m to bring Portuguese &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim&lt;/a&gt; in from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sporting-lisbon/&quot;&gt;Sporting Lisbon&lt;/a&gt;, including an extra fee so that he could cut short&amp;nbsp;his notice period.&lt;/p&gt;

  115. &lt;h3 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?p=31867799&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;READ MORE: &amp;#8216;Amorim is joining a team in chaos, he&amp;#8217;ll wish he never left Lisbon.&amp;#8217;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  116.  
  117.  
  118.  
  119. &lt;p&gt;It has been a bumpy start for Ratcliffe, who bought a 27.7 per cent stake in United in February and was charged with running the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; side of the club.&lt;/p&gt;
  120.

  132.  
  133.  
  134.  
  135. &lt;p&gt;But so far, the jury is out on their &lt;span id=&quot;8fdbfcf1-d12b-4e54-99c0-d15462912b94&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; transfer deals.&lt;/p&gt;

  202. &lt;p&gt;Now they’re coming for our favourite footwear and Clemmie Fieldsend asks…&lt;/p&gt;
  203.  
  204.  
  205.  
  206. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865740&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 662px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/actress-dakota-johnson-seen-tribeca-950219168.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=652&quot; alt=&quot;a woman in a fur coat is getting out of a car in front of a starbucks&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865740&quot; width=&quot;652&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;GC Images&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Ankle boots are a staple item in most women’s wardrobes, pictured Dakota Johnson in a modern version of the shoe[/caption]
  207.  
  208.  
  209.  
  210. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865741&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 559px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/kate-moss-seen-leaving-home-950219210.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=549&quot; alt=&quot;a woman wearing sunglasses and a scarf is standing in front of a black door&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865741&quot; width=&quot;549&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;Ankle boots were the boot of the Noughties — with style hero Kate Moss donning a traditional pair in 2011[/caption]
  211.  
  212.  
  213.  
  214. &lt;p&gt;They are a staple item in most women’s wardrobe – if you are over the age of 30 that is.&lt;/p&gt;
  215.  
  216.  
  217.  
  218. &lt;p&gt;But while a chunky-heeled &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31255091/the-best-boots-on-the-high-street/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;ankle boot&lt;/a&gt; is a simple way to winterise your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/fashion/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;wardrobe&lt;/a&gt; and will go with anything, it will also instantly give away your age.&lt;/p&gt;
  219.  
  220.  
  221.  
  222. &lt;p&gt;This was the boot of the Noughties — with style heroes from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kate-moss/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kate Moss&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alexa-chung/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alexa Chung&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rosie-huntington-whiteley/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rosie Huntington-Whiteley&lt;/a&gt; strutting around in mini skirts or drain pipe jeans with suede or nubuck boots complete with zip detail and square heel.&lt;/p&gt;
  223.  
  224.  
  225.  
  226. &lt;p&gt;But sadly, those days are gone — and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TikTokers&lt;/a&gt; are poking fun at our beloved ankle boots, along with wedge trainers, ballet pumps and even trainer socks.&lt;/p&gt;
  227.  
  228.  
  229.  
  230. &lt;p&gt;Videos of unsuspecting over-30s being filmed or snapped while wearing them have racked up 61.9million posts tagged “millennial shoes”.&lt;/p&gt;
  231.  
  232.  
  233.  
  234. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  235. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  236. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  237. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, I’ve not shunned the ankle boot altogether&lt;/p&gt;
  238. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  242. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  244.  
  245.  
  246.  
  247. &lt;p&gt;And while I too was a fan, two decades on from my first pair, I have to agree.&lt;/p&gt;
  248.  
  249.  
  250.  
  251. &lt;p&gt;From an aesthetic perspective, there’s nothing sleek or stylish about them.&lt;/p&gt;
  252.  
  253.  
  254.  
  255. &lt;p&gt;They look and, as I recall, feel heavy and clunky.&lt;/p&gt;
  256.  
  257.  
  258.  
  259. &lt;p&gt;The toe is not quite round and not quite square, and the sides might have a non-functioning zip just for detailing.&lt;/p&gt;
  260.

  286.  
  287. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, I’ve not shunned the ankle boot altogether.&lt;/p&gt;
  288.  
  289.  
  290.  
  291. &lt;p&gt;I’ve just swapped to a more on-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/style/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;trend&lt;/a&gt; version — slightly higher above the ankle, a pointier toe and with a more delicate heel.&lt;/p&gt;
  292.  
  293.  
  294.  
  295. &lt;p&gt;I know, it sounds counter-intuitive to say kitten heels are the “new” way to go when they have been in fashion’s Room 101 for years.&lt;/p&gt;
  296.  
  297.  
  298.  
  299. &lt;p&gt;Searches for “ankle boots” are up 1,937 per cent this month, according to LTK which is an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;influencer&lt;/a&gt;-led shopping platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  300.  
  301.  
  302.  
  303. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Time for kitten heels&lt;/h2&gt;
  304.  
  305.  
  306.  
  307. &lt;p&gt;But it’s these sexier boots that the Gen Z fash-pack wants, not the retro comfort shoe that’s been in the back of your wardrobe for 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  308.  
  309.  
  310.  
  311. &lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong, I understand the need for practical boots when you’re a mum pounding the pavements with your buggy or quickfooting it around the supermarket.&lt;/p&gt;
  312.  
  313.  
  314.  
  315. &lt;p&gt;But that’s why the fashion gods invented trainers.&lt;/p&gt;
  316.  
  317.  
  318.  
  319. &lt;p&gt;In defence of the block-heel ankle boot, one TikTok user said: “OK, but have you spent all night dancing in a skinny heel vs a block heel? Give me the support, please!”&lt;/p&gt;
  320.  
  321.  
  322.  
  323. &lt;p&gt;And she’s right. In a sturdy block-heel boot, you could dance all night, stand in a club queue, walk on icy pavements, sprint for a kebab, run for a taxi, or even run home . . .  you could take on the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  324.  
  325.  
  326.  
  327. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866064&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/2024/11/45990353-04b1-4afa-884e-d3636392b79a.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a pair of black ankle boots with a gold heel&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866064&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;872&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;In the past, they were heavier and came with a clumpier heel&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  332.  
  333.  
  334.  
  335. &lt;p&gt;But the kitten-heel boot is almost as comfortable (although not so sturdy on ice).&lt;/p&gt;
  336.  
  337.  
  338.  
  339. &lt;p&gt;And they just look sexier.&lt;/p&gt;
  340.  
  341.  
  342.  
  343. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;
  344. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;article__quote&quot;&gt;
  345. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  346. &lt;p&gt;Wearing these shoes has been a labour of love but ladies, it’s time to move on&lt;/p&gt;

  348. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Clemmie&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;

  351. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  353.  
  354.  
  355.  
  356. &lt;p&gt;The old ankle boot was shorter up the leg, often sitting just below the ankle or on the ankle, shortening the wearer’s legs.&lt;/p&gt;
  357.  
  358.  
  359.  
  360. &lt;p&gt;The 2024 version actually gives the illusion of longer legs, despite the heels being smaller.&lt;/p&gt;
  361.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. &lt;p&gt;Look to modern fashion muses such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/emily-ratajkowski/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Emily Ratajkowski&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dakota-johnson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dakota Johnson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  365.  
  366.  
  367.  
  368. &lt;p&gt;I know how much love there is for the humble Noughties ankle boot.&lt;/p&gt;
  369.  
  370.  
  371.  
  372. &lt;p&gt;A quick glance down at most women’s winter footwear says as much — the block heels worn away at one side, a stud or two missing from the embellishment detailing, a scuffed toe.&lt;/p&gt;
  373.  
  374.  
  375.  
  376. &lt;p&gt;Wearing these shoes has been a labour of love but ladies, it’s time to move on.&lt;/p&gt;
  377.  
  378.  
  379.  
  380. &lt;p&gt;Keep your high and ankle-boot heels low (and narrow) if you want to avoid frumpy territory.&lt;/p&gt;
  381.  
  382.  
  383.  
  384. &lt;p&gt;I’d be inclined to abandon your slouchy, and fur-lined ankle boots this year, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  385.  
  386.  
  387.  
  388. &lt;p&gt;Introducing a stylish pair of kitten heel-boots will instantly give your winter wardrobe a makeover — and take years off your style age.&lt;/p&gt;

  518.

  573. &lt;p&gt;However, Los Blancos could prove to be a thorn in their side once again.&lt;/p&gt;
  574.  
  575.  
  576.  
  577. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year it was revealed that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27875180/real-madrid-kylian-mbappe-florian-wirtz-man-utd/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Real Madrid chiefs wanted to add Wirtz&lt;/a&gt; to their ever-growing list of Galacticos.&lt;/p&gt;
  578.  
  579.  
  580.  
  581. &lt;p&gt;The 21-year-old is expected to cost around £125million next summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  582.  
  583.  
  584.  
  585. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30696761/arsenal-florian-wirtz-real-madrid-man-city-leverkusen-transfer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Arsenal and Manchester City&lt;/a&gt; are among the other clubs understood to be interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  586.  
  587.  
  588.  
  589. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29243261/man-utd-transfer-hijack-bayern-munich-germany-jonathan-tah/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bayern pushed to sign Tah this summer alongside Man Utd&lt;/a&gt; but failed to seal a deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  590.  
  591.  
  592.  
  593. &lt;p&gt;This time around, however, the German giants will also have to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona if they want to attempt another swoop.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  637. &lt;p&gt;ANESONGIB is making his boxing comeback to headline the Misfits Supercard in Qatar next week!&lt;/p&gt;
  638.  
  639.  
  640.  
  641. &lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/anesongib/&quot;&gt;Gib&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; way is long-time rival and current &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/misfits-boxing/&quot;&gt;Misfits Boxing&lt;/a&gt; Middleweight champion Slim Albaher, with the title on the line.&lt;/p&gt;

  646.  
  647.  
  648.  
  649. &lt;p&gt;Gib&amp;#8217;s last fight was a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23068891/kingpyn-boxing-live-result-gib-vs-jarvis-elle-brooke-aaron-chalmers-updates/&quot;&gt;unanimous decision win over Jarvis&lt;/a&gt; back in July 2023 in the semi-finals of the Kingpyn tournament. Jarvis also returns to action on the Misfits Supercard in Qatar.&lt;/p&gt;
  650.  
  651.  
  652.  
  653. &lt;p&gt;While Slim has yet to lose in his seven bouts, with five impressive KOs.&lt;/p&gt;
  654.  
  655.  
  656.  
  657. &lt;p&gt;The Hitman was last in action in October 2023, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24406895/slim-albaher-ko-salt-papi-ksi-tommy-fury-undercard/&quot;&gt;stopping Salt Papi&lt;/a&gt; on the undercard of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23253366/ksi-tommy-fury-live-result-scorecard-misfits-boxing-latest-reaction/&quot;&gt;KSI vs Tommy Fury.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  658.  
  659.  
  660.  
  661. &lt;p&gt;A thrilling undercard is booked in for Gib vs Slim on the Misfits Supercard, including the boxing return of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/7059551/who-deji-girlfriend-ksi/&quot;&gt;Deji.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  667.  
  668.  
  669. &lt;p&gt;Gib vs Slim takes place as part of the Misfits Supercard in Qatar on Thursday, November 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  670.  
  671.  
  672.  
  673. &lt;p&gt;Expect the big main event at approx 10pm GMT.&lt;/p&gt;
  674.  
  675.  
  676.  
  677. &lt;p&gt;The Lusail&amp;nbsp;Sports Arena plays host.&lt;/p&gt;

  730.  
  731.  
  732.  
  733. &lt;p&gt;“Qatar: The Supercard is a ginormous event, with a gigantic main event between Gib and Slim, it’s a fight the fans have wanted for years, and it’s a feud that is dripping with bad blood.&lt;/p&gt;
  734.  
  735.  
  736.  
  737. &lt;p&gt;“Ever since their intense face-off in Newcastle, the fans have been waiting, in anticipation, for us to confirm the date and location for this titanic tussle.&lt;/p&gt;
  738.  
  739.  
  740.  
  741. &lt;p&gt;“And now we can: November 28, in Doha, Qatar, one of the biggest fights in crossover boxing history takes place, headlining a very special night of Misfits Boxing.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  813.  
  814. &lt;p&gt;The thermal camera image is showing lots of heat coming from Didi’s body thanks to the thermals, but the purple area in particular is where the heat is being retained the most.&lt;/p&gt;
  815.  
  816.  
  817.  
  818. &lt;p&gt;Didi says: “The thermal coat feels really warm even though the material is quite thin, and the clothes actually warm up after a few minutes of wearing them which is unusual but feels good. My whole body felt warm but they have gone for practicality over style.”&lt;/p&gt;

  867.

  874. &lt;p&gt;This look proves you can style thermals with skirts or dresses for an everyday look.&lt;/p&gt;
  875.  
  876.  
  877.  
  878. &lt;p&gt;Didi says: “The tights and the top are warm ­– you can definitely tell they are the thermal pieces in this look and the fabric feels warm and snug.&lt;/p&gt;
  879.  
  880.  
  881.  
  882. &lt;p&gt;“The coat isn’t specifically thermal but it’s got feather down and it’s one of the warmest. The pockets in the coat are fleece-lined which makes a difference.”&lt;/p&gt;

  906. &lt;p&gt;YES, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/primark/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Primark&lt;/a&gt; sells thermals. They are mainly in base layers – the coat and scarf are from the budget brand’s regular range.&lt;/p&gt;
  907.  
  908.  
  909.  
  910. &lt;p&gt;But if you’re looking for thermals under £10 there are some great options and our image shows they do retain heat, with the yellow darker on the legs and an orangey colour on the chest where her coat is opening.&lt;/p&gt;
  911.  
  912.  
  913.  
  914. &lt;p&gt;Didi says: “This is quite cosy. I didn’t think it would be as it was from Primark but they’ve not scrimped on the design as I do feel warm on my body.&lt;/p&gt;
  915.  
  916.

  1145.

  1161.  
  1162.  
  1163.  
  1164. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/coleen-rooney/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Coleen&lt;/a&gt; said: “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wayne-rooney/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wayne&lt;/a&gt;’s always wrote me &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/poems/&quot;&gt;poems&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1165.  
  1166.  
  1167.  
  1168. &lt;p&gt;“You know the hotel pads? He was always writing a little poem and putting it in his bag and he’d give it to me when we got home.&lt;/p&gt;
  1169.  
  1170.  
  1171.  
  1172. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They’re &lt;span id=&quot;392c6319-b8f8-43b7-82d1-34b5c3f79fb3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; to keep but I can’t remember the last time he gave me one . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  1173.  
  1174.  
  1175.  
  1176. &lt;p&gt;“He is romantic in ways, we’re not the lovey-dovey couple in public but little things like that I think it keeps the ­relationship alive and it’s ­special when someone’s done something just for you, and the words mean something.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1177.  
  1178.  
  1179.  
  1180. &lt;p&gt;Earlier, Coleen told dancer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oti-mabuse/&quot;&gt;Oti Mabuse&lt;/a&gt; how they had ­survived as a couple despite Wayne admitting to a string of infidelities since they first met as teens in home city &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1181.  
  1182.  
  1183.  
  1184. &lt;p&gt;She said: “All he wanted to do was play &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt;. He struggled with the fame side of it, he hated that.&lt;/p&gt;
  1185.  
  1186.  
  1187.  
  1188. &lt;p&gt;“If he could’ve just played football and had none of the fame, I think he would’ve been happier within life. He’s made mistakes along the way, but from 16, obviously you’re going to, that’s life.&lt;/p&gt;
  1189.  
  1190.  
  1191.  
  1192. &lt;p&gt;“We had to grow up quick, because we were living in the public eye.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1193.  
  1194.  
  1195.  
  1196. &lt;p&gt;And she insisted that while forgiving some of his past behaviour has been difficult, the couple, remain steadfast in their love.&lt;/p&gt;

  1257. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “Wayne isn’t a regular at his son’s games because it can create a bit of excitement on the touchline and he doesn’t want the boys to feel any pressure while playing.&lt;/p&gt;

  1365.  
  1366.  
  1367.  
  1368. &lt;p&gt;One which could have the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;new boss&lt;/a&gt; pining for Lisbon before he knows it.&lt;/p&gt;
  1369.  
  1370.  
  1371.  
  1372. &lt;p&gt;The ramifications of a disastrous &lt;span id=&quot;80c75152-b114-43f1-88c6-8463e16dd6dd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; for the club under new leadership are still being felt. &lt;/p&gt;
  1373.  
  1374.  
  1375.  
  1376. &lt;p&gt;Not least among the rank-and-file staff, who are seeing their positions eroded and, in the worst-case scenario, extinguished&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; altogether with 250 redundancies.&lt;/p&gt;
  1377.  
  1378.  
  1379.  
  1380. &lt;p&gt;They understandably wonder if they are collateral damage of decisions by the ex-manager and woeful recruitment.&lt;/p&gt;
  1381.  
  1382.  
  1383.  
  1384. &lt;p&gt;Even&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alex-ferguson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Alex Ferguson&lt;/a&gt; has not been safe with his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31080344/man-utd-stop-paying-sir-alex-ferguson-jim-ratcliffe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;£2million-a-year ambassadorial role axed.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1385.  
  1386.  
  1387.  
  1388. &lt;p&gt;Those who championed new part-owner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s&lt;/a&gt; arrival as having put a &lt;span id=&quot;135c6168-0022-4742-915b-467bd0b71aa7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;spring&lt;/span&gt; in everyone’s step have lost their bounce.&lt;/p&gt;
  1389.  
  1390.  
  1391.  
  1392. &lt;p&gt;He took control of 27.7 per cent of the club from the Glazer family last February, with the mandate to run the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; operation while the American owners sat back and continued to milk the cash cow.&lt;/p&gt;
  1393.  
  1394.  
  1395.  
  1396. &lt;p&gt;He brought in trusted wingman &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/dave-brailsford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Dave Brailsford&lt;/a&gt; although, to this day, nobody at the club knows quite what his skills are or what he does, rather than telling everyone what is wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  1397.

  1401.  
  1402.  
  1403.  
  1404. &lt;p&gt;One of his first complaints was the state of the IT department’s office at the training ground, which he did not realise was actually an MUTV studio.&lt;/p&gt;
  1405.  
  1406.  
  1407.  
  1408. &lt;p&gt;The handling of former gaffer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/erik-ten-hag/&quot;&gt;Erik ten Hag&lt;/a&gt; has leapt to the top of the charts regarding bungling in 11 years since &lt;span id=&quot;0b0dd2c7-60c8-4a34-acf9-ef511f2af6bc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Fergie&lt;/span&gt; retired and the bar is already pretty high.&lt;/p&gt;

  1432. &lt;p&gt;To cut a long story short, they wanted him out, couldn’t find anyone to replace him, asked him to stay, extended his contract, spent millions on a new coaching team at the &lt;span id=&quot;e2053a9b-0d9a-462f-9f88-31dd0ba47644&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Theatre&lt;/span&gt; of Dreams and then spent another &lt;strong&gt;£172.1MILLION&lt;/strong&gt; in the transfer market.&lt;/p&gt;
  1433.  
  1434.  
  1435.  
  1436. &lt;p&gt;Just 11 games into the new season, the hierarchy decided they would once again return to square one at great expense, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31368652/erik-ten-hag-pay-off-private-jet-sacking/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pay-offs for all those going out&lt;/a&gt; and a release clause fee for the new bloke coming in.&lt;/p&gt;
  1437.  
  1438.  
  1439.  
  1440. &lt;p&gt;Now, questions are being asked internally at the highest level about how they got to this position, with fingers metaphorically pointed across the boardroom table.&lt;/p&gt;
  1441.  
  1442.  
  1443.  
  1444. &lt;p&gt;Sir Jim has effectively washed his hands of it all, having claimed when questions about Ten Hag’s &lt;span id=&quot;efcc7057-42b5-4ccf-a5d2-f3c7a05f8ee3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; intensified, that it &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30872004/sir-jim-ratcliffe-man-utd-erik-ten-hag-sacked/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;wasn’t on him to provide the answers&lt;/a&gt; as they had a new senior management team in place to do all that.&lt;/p&gt;
  1445.  
  1446.  
  1447.  
  1448. &lt;p&gt;That team includes Omar Berrada, the CEO poached from rivals &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;c0749371-272f-44c6-84c1-2a5871dc795d&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/span&gt; City&lt;/a&gt;, who were not exactly tying him to the Etihad’s gates&amp;nbsp;to stop him from going, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31446942/dan-ashworth-newcastle-man-utd/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dan Ashworth&lt;/a&gt;, the sporting director, who was good lower down the league on a budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  1449.  
  1450.  
  1451.  
  1452. &lt;p&gt;Then there is Jason Wilcox, the technical director, who is supposed to influence how United play now.&lt;/p&gt;
  1453.  
  1454.  
  1455.

  1469. By Charlie Wyett &lt;/p&gt;
  1471. &lt;div&gt;
  1472. &lt;p&gt;RUBEN AMORIM would have preferred to leave Lisbon in a blaze of glory after winning a third Primeira Liga title.&lt;/p&gt;
  1473. &lt;p&gt;Yet football does not work like that. And in what was surely his final game before taking charge of Manchester United, Amorim prepared to say his goodbyes at a half-empty Estadio Jose Alvalade in a League Cup quarter-final against Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  1474. &lt;p&gt;Sporting won 3-1 thanks to&amp;nbsp; second-half goals by captain&amp;nbsp; Morten Hjulmand and Viktor Gyokeres, who scored two.&lt;/p&gt;
  1475. &lt;p&gt;Luis Esteves pulled back for Madeira-based Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  1476. &lt;p&gt;The stadium&amp;nbsp; will be a good deal more lively on Tuesday when Manchester City are here for&amp;nbsp; a Champions League match — although Amorim should by then have his feet firmly under his desk at Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  1477. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool and Aston Villa were both interested in Europe’s most sought-after coach. Even City could have been a possible destination post-Pep Guardiola.&lt;/p&gt;
  1478. &lt;p&gt;Yet the United job is one Amorim, 39,&amp;nbsp; could not turn&amp;nbsp; down — even if not everyone saw it that way at Sporting last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  1479. &lt;p&gt;There is clearly a huge split in the Portuguese club’s fan base over their coach leaving at this stage of the season with many believing he should have seen the job through.&lt;/p&gt;
  1480. &lt;p&gt;Yet Amorim, along with the three-man coaching team who are expected to follow him, leaves a club in a much better state than when he arrived here in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  1481. &lt;p&gt;Inside the stadium, there was applause — albeit muted — when his name was read out before the game along with the line-ups.&lt;/p&gt;
  1482. &lt;p&gt;And there did not appear to be any jeers when Amorim shuffled out from the tunnel awkwardly towards the dugout.&lt;/p&gt;
  1483. &lt;p&gt;So, while his departure is hard to take for some, none of the fans will forget his legacy.&lt;/p&gt;
  1484. &lt;p&gt;This is a club which is back as the dominant force in Portugal. Even this term, Sporting have won their first nine league games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just two.&lt;/p&gt;
  1485. &lt;p&gt;They are also eighth in the Champions League table, which is one hell of an effort.&lt;/p&gt;
  1486. &lt;p&gt;In contrast, Lisbon was not exactly hit by League Cup fever last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  1487. &lt;p&gt;Amorim made lots of changes, which saw Sporting’s star man Gyokeres, the former Coventry striker, start on the bench.&lt;/p&gt;
  1488. &lt;p&gt;There was, however, a first appearance in six weeks for former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards. &lt;/p&gt;
  1489. &lt;p&gt;He is certainly one player who has been transformed by Amorim since arriving at the club from Vitoria in 2022 and will be sorry to see the coach leave.&lt;/p&gt;
  1490. &lt;p&gt;While he changed his team, Amorim stuck with his tried and trusted formation of a back three.&lt;/p&gt;
  1491. &lt;p&gt;It will certainly be something Manchester United’s fans will have to get used to over the&amp;nbsp; coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
  1492. &lt;p&gt;But looking at the Premier League table, none of them will be complaining about the change.&lt;/p&gt;
  1493. &lt;/div&gt;
  1494. &lt;/div&gt;
  1495. &lt;/div&gt;
  1497.  
  1498.  
  1499.  
  1500. &lt;p&gt;All will undoubtedly have had a significant influence on the &lt;span id=&quot;0fd02eef-176c-400c-b597-4c5d40b7471c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; spending splurge, which failed to raise the team’s performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  1501.  
  1502.  
  1503.  
  1504. &lt;p&gt;The most bizarre transfer was the £36.5m paid to Bologna for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joshua-zirkzee/&quot;&gt;Joshua Zirkzee&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1505.  
  1506.  
  1507.  
  1508. &lt;p&gt;Ten Hag didn’t want him. He arrived a stone overweight and has scored &lt;strong&gt;ONE &lt;/strong&gt;goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  1509.  
  1510.  
  1511.  
  1512. &lt;p&gt;Apparently a&amp;nbsp;metatarsal problem showed up on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29282320/man-utd-leny-yoro-transfer-medical-bid-accepted/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leny Yoro’s medical ahead of a £42m spend.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1513.  
  1514.  
  1515.  
  1516. &lt;p&gt;Lo and behold, in his second game of &lt;span id=&quot;e1abc84a-e4ae-4292-9e9d-b23e80076860&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pre-season&lt;/span&gt;, he got a metatarsal injury and has only just started training during the current international break.&lt;/p&gt;
  1517.  
  1518.  
  1519.  
  1520. &lt;p&gt;Then the question is why would &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bayern-munich/&quot;&gt;Bayern Munich&lt;/a&gt; let go of defenders &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/matthijs-de-ligt/&quot;&gt;Matthijs de Ligt&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/noussair-mazraoui/&quot;&gt;Noussair Mazraoui&lt;/a&gt; at a combined total of £51.3m up front, rising to a possible £59.5m, if they were that good?&lt;/p&gt;
  1521.  
  1522.  
  1523.  
  1524. &lt;p&gt;Only &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/manuel-ugarte/&quot;&gt;Manuel Ugarte&lt;/a&gt;, the £42.2m signing from &lt;span id=&quot;82399d97-5128-41ba-a2ef-b4285ad3cad5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Paris&lt;/span&gt; Saint-Germain, is looking close to being a United player, yet even he does not look a step up from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/scott-mctominay/&quot;&gt;Scott McTominay&lt;/a&gt;, who left for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1395978/napoli/&quot;&gt;Napoli&lt;/a&gt; and is ripping it up.&lt;/p&gt;
  1525.  
  1526.  
  1527.  
  1528. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868174&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/2024/11/noussair-mazraoui-matthijs-de-ligt-951026763.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;two men on a soccer field one wearing a snapdragon shirt&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868174&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;Eyebrows have been raised as to why Bayern let Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt go[/caption]

  1531.  
  1532. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868179&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/2024/11/leny-yoro-manchester-united-looks-951026073.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man wearing a red shirt that says snapdragon on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868179&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;636&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Leny Yoro reportedly arrived injured and has just returned to training[/caption]
  1533.  
  1534.  
  1535.  
  1536. &lt;p&gt;The spending means Amorim’s ability to do anything in the &lt;span id=&quot;38b6f5c5-ac38-44d9-beee-3817326d6314&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; transfer window&amp;nbsp;will be restricted unless he can shift players, but who is going to buy anyone from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/old-trafford/&quot;&gt;Old Trafford&lt;/a&gt; right now?&lt;/p&gt;
  1537.  
  1538.  
  1539.  
  1540. &lt;p&gt;All this time behind the scenes, the ship is far from happy, with staff unceremoniously thrown overboard in a penny-pinching purge. &lt;/p&gt;
  1541.  
  1542.  
  1543.  
  1544. &lt;p&gt;It has even led to chefs pulling their &lt;span id=&quot;481981e6-a7de-4e03-b5e1-d1fe9b4d9d24&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/span&gt; out to try to cover matchday hospitality on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18846044/erik-ten-hag-man-utd-rebuild/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;reduced budgets and staffing levels.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1545.  
  1546.  
  1547.  
  1548. &lt;p&gt;Long-standing employees feel like they have been cast aside like rubbish.&lt;/p&gt;
  1549.  
  1550.  
  1551.  
  1552. &lt;p&gt;The most alarming story came when a staff member with 25 years at the club behind him was told he was being given a commemorative watch for his service.&lt;/p&gt;
  1553.  
  1554.  
  1555.  
  1556. &lt;p&gt;He was then told to pick it up at&amp;nbsp;main reception, where a security guard handed it to him in a polythene bag. &lt;/p&gt;
  1557.  
  1558.  
  1559.  
  1560. &lt;p&gt;That’s a picture to show the grandkids in the &lt;span id=&quot;eabd2569-0934-4a0c-8d10-7fd09152d1d3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1561.  
  1562.  
  1563.  
  1564. &lt;p&gt;An award-winning journalist is currently tasked with shadowing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sir Jim&lt;/a&gt; and his new regime for a book on how they turned United around. &lt;/p&gt;
  1565.  
  1566.  
  1567.  
  1568. &lt;p&gt;It may end up being a work of fiction.&lt;/p&gt;
  1569.  
  1570.  
  1571.  
  1572. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  1573. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  1574. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man Utd&lt;/h3&gt;
  1575. &lt;/div&gt;
  1576. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  1577. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content-img&quot;&gt;
  1578. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20210511_crod8068_2021051442159101-JS712162550.jpg?strip=all&amp;&amp;w=620&amp;&amp;h=413&amp;&amp;crop=1&quot; width=&quot;620&quot; height=&quot;413&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
  1581. &lt;div&gt;
  1582. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/jordan-davies/&quot;&gt;Jordan Davies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1583. &lt;p&gt;Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.&lt;/p&gt;
  1584. &lt;p&gt;But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  1585. &lt;p&gt;Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  1586. &lt;p&gt;He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1587. &lt;p&gt;The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.&lt;/p&gt;
  1588. &lt;p&gt;And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  1589. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.&lt;/p&gt;
  1590. &lt;p&gt;Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1591. &lt;p&gt;United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won&amp;#8217;t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1592. &lt;p&gt;And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.&lt;/p&gt;
  1593. &lt;p&gt;For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.&lt;/p&gt;
  1594. &lt;/div&gt;
  1595. &lt;/div&gt;

  1641. &lt;p&gt;A BELOVED bargain high street shop has slashed the price of a home essential that is ideal for the chilly winter days ahead.&lt;/p&gt;
  1642.  
  1643.  
  1644.  
  1645. &lt;p&gt;Shoppers are being urged to invest into a heated airer to help them save £100s on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/energy-bills/&quot;&gt;energy bills&lt;/a&gt; with one supermarket currently selling them for a 35 per cent discount.&lt;/p&gt;

  1654.  
  1655.  
  1656.  
  1657. &lt;p&gt;Customers are flocking down to their nearest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/asda/&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/a&gt; stores to pick up the Silver Heated Winged Clothes Airer from George.&lt;/p&gt;
  1658.  
  1659.  
  1660.  
  1661. &lt;p&gt;The easy to use product is normally sold for £40 but Asda is currently running a tempting offer with it being available for only £26.&lt;/p&gt;
  1662.  
  1663.  
  1664.  
  1665. &lt;p&gt;It weighs just 5kg and can be easily folded up for storage like a regular drying rack.&lt;/p&gt;
  1666.  
  1667.  
  1668.  
  1669. &lt;p&gt;But what makes the aluminium Asda airer such a tempting purchase is that it comes with a built in heater.&lt;/p&gt;
  1670.  
  1671.  
  1672.  
  1673. &lt;p&gt;Simply set it up as usual and place your damp, clean clothes between the rungs before plugging it in to an electrical outlet in your home.&lt;/p&gt;
  1674.  
  1675.  
  1676.  
  1677. &lt;p&gt;After just a few minutes it will begin to heat up and leave your clothes perfectly toasty in just a few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  1678.  
  1679.  
  1680.  
  1681. &lt;p&gt;It is also able to extend outwards through its clever winged design meaning you can always squeeze on an extra pair of socks of favourite t-shirt.&lt;/p&gt;
  1682.  
  1683.  
  1684.  
  1685. &lt;p&gt;The bargain find was quickly posted on social media to be enjoyed by others with hundreds tagging their friends online and urging them to grab the ideal festive item.&lt;/p&gt;
  1686.  
  1687.  
  1688.  
  1689. &lt;p&gt;One excited shopper told her mate: &amp;#8220;They are so good.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1690.  
  1691.  
  1692.  
  1693. &lt;p&gt;As another said: &amp;#8220;I need one asap.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  1718.  
  1719.  
  1720.  
  1721. &lt;p&gt;The product has received amazing reviews with many even noting how much cash they have saved from not using their tumble dryer or turning on radiators to dry their clothes.  &lt;/p&gt;
  1722.  
  1723.

  1730.  
  1731.  
  1732.  
  1733. &lt;p&gt;For big families who do three loads of washing a week, that could mean you&amp;#8217;re spending £104.52 a year tumble drying your clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
  1734.  
  1735.  
  1736.  
  1737. &lt;p&gt;The electricity needed to power the airer is far less meaning you could save a lot of cash by switching to the gadget.&lt;/p&gt;
  1738.  
  1739.  
  1740.  
  1741. &lt;p&gt;A similar product that can help you save on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bills/&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/a&gt; this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/winter/&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/a&gt; is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31824492/bq-slashed-price-home-gadget-dries-laundry-condensation/&quot;&gt;Blyss 16l/d Dehumidifier from B&amp;amp;Q&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  1746.  
  1747.  
  1748.  
  1749. &lt;p&gt;The dehumidifier costs just 35p to run for an hour &amp;#8211; a considerable difference from running the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31815924/how-much-cost-leave-central-heating-on-all-night/&quot;&gt;heating for an hour&lt;/a&gt; which will cost £1.50.&lt;/p&gt;

  1770. TACKLING laundry in the winter can be a challenge, but these handy tips can help you stay on top of it... &lt;/p&gt;
  1772. &lt;div&gt;
  1773. &lt;ul&gt;
  1774. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use a Dehumidifier&lt;/strong&gt;: Place a dehumidifier in your drying area to speed up the drying process and prevent dampness.&lt;/li&gt;
  1775. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spin Cycle Boost&lt;/strong&gt;: Run an extra spin cycle on your washing machine to remove excess water from clothes, reducing drying time.&lt;/li&gt;
  1776. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indoor Drying Rack&lt;/strong&gt;: Invest in a good-quality indoor drying rack and position it near a radiator or in a well-ventilated room.&lt;/li&gt;
  1777. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tumble Dryer Balls&lt;/strong&gt;: Add tumble dryer balls to your dryer to help clothes dry faster and reduce static cling.&lt;/li&gt;
  1778. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Space-Saving Hangers&lt;/strong&gt;: Use space-saving hangers or a retractable washing line to maximise indoor drying space.&lt;/li&gt;
  1779. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microfibre Towels&lt;/strong&gt;: Lay microfibre towels over your drying rack to absorb extra moisture from hanging clothes.&lt;/li&gt;
  1780. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Partially Dry Outside&lt;/strong&gt;: On dry days, hang clothes outside for a short period before bringing them in to finish drying.&lt;/li&gt;
  1781. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1782. &lt;p&gt;These hacks can help you keep your laundry routine efficient and your clothes fresh, even during the colder months.&lt;/p&gt;
  1783. &lt;/div&gt;
  1784. &lt;/div&gt;

  1872. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mark-selby/&quot;&gt;Mark Selby&lt;/a&gt; will meet Jack Lisowski, who stopped Bai Yulu becoming the first woman to reach this stage, in another eye-catching match.&lt;/p&gt;

  2006. &lt;p&gt;WAYNE ROONEY and wife Coleen go head-to-head on TV tonight in a bid to conquer their jungles.&lt;/p&gt;
  2007.  
  2008.  
  2009.  
  2010. &lt;p&gt;While Coleen stars on&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/im-a-celebrity/&quot;&gt; ITV’s I’m a Celeb&lt;/a&gt; in the Aussie outback, 10,000 miles away Rooney can edge Plymouth away from the Championship drop zone by beating Watford live on Sky Sports. &lt;/p&gt;
  2011.  
  2012.  
  2013.  
  2014. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wayne-rooney/&quot;&gt;legendary Manchester United striker&lt;/a&gt;, 39,  is also facing a number of hazards himself as Pilgrims boss.&lt;/p&gt;
  2015.  
  2016.  
  2017.  
  2018. &lt;p&gt;Argyle are geographically an outpost, have one of the league’s smallest budgets  and their main ambition this season is simply to survive.&lt;/p&gt;
  2019.  
  2020.  
  2021.  
  2022. &lt;p&gt;Yet Rooney is winning over hearts and minds in the city with his down-to-earth, man-of-the-people approach.&lt;/p&gt;

  2033.  
  2034. &lt;p&gt;“He’s not come down to be a boss who hides away in his apartment — but wants to  feel completely connected to the fans and everything going on.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2035.  
  2036.  
  2037.  
  2038. &lt;p&gt;Due to Plymouth’s remote location in the south-west of England, Rooney has introduced starting some away journeys two days before matches.&lt;/p&gt;
  2039.  
  2040.  
  2041.  
  2042. &lt;p&gt;He likes to stop off halfway to games on Thursday to train before continuing the journey on Friday ahead of a Saturday fixture.&lt;/p&gt;

  2049.  
  2050.

  2075.  
  2076. &lt;p&gt;Rooney often likes talking to his stars and staff about movies, holidays, family life, food and is always sharing little anecdotes away from the game.&lt;/p&gt;

  2097.  
  2098.  
  2099.  
  2100. &lt;p&gt;He serves a touchline ban tonight but hit out at critics who reckon Rooney underachieved as gaffer at Derby, DC United and Birmingham.&lt;/p&gt;
  2101.  
  2102.  
  2103.  
  2104. &lt;p&gt;Cleverley, 35, said: “We’ll catch up before and after as friends. He was one of the best players I’ve seen&amp;nbsp; and I’m happy to see us both trying to work our magic as coaches.&lt;/p&gt;

  2190.  
  2191.  
  2192.  
  2193. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31819586/maura-higgins-not-well-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;Maura Higgins&lt;/a&gt; and Reverand Richard Coles were seen last night in a lavish hotel, with them heading straight to Snake Rock tonight before being given a secret mission.&lt;/p&gt;
  2194.  
  2195.  
  2196.  
  2197. &lt;p&gt;Snake Rock has been transformed into the Jungle Junkyard, with the pair having been given a two-ring hob.&lt;/p&gt;
  2198.  
  2199.  
  2200.  
  2201. &lt;p&gt;But although the camp has a hob, the junkyard also contains overgrown greenery, rusty corrugated metal, and of course, zero luxury.&lt;/p&gt;
  2202.  
  2203.  
  2204.  
  2205. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s safe to say that Maura is less than impressed by the living conditions she is faced with after leaving an opulent hotel, with the reality star firing expletives in a huge rant.&lt;/p&gt;
  2206.  
  2207.  
  2208.  
  2209. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&amp;#8216;THIS CAMP SUCKS&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  2210.  
  2211.  
  2212.  
  2213. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s not liveable, we have nothing, this camp sucks,&amp;#8221; she fumed after seeing the camp for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;
  2214.  
  2215.  
  2216.  
  2217. &lt;p&gt;She then added, &amp;#8220;I’m going to ask Richard to say a prayer for us tonight because I’m gonna need one.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2218.  
  2219.  
  2220.  
  2221. &lt;p&gt;Then, Maura added, &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve definitely got the sh*t camp, so thanks for that. Jesus Christ. I tell you I saw this on a movie, there&amp;#8217;s a trick to doing this. &lt;/p&gt;
  2222.  
  2223.  
  2224.  
  2225. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Guys this is not livable, this is not livable. This camp sucks.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2226.  
  2227.  
  2228.  
  2229. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Reverend Coles, compared his new abode to some bins, admitting, how he once &amp;#8220;fell asleep by some bins outside Amnesia night club in Ibiza&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2230.  
  2231.  
  2232.  
  2233. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about his bin stint, Rev Coles said, &amp;#8220;I don’t remember much about it, but it’s that level.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2262.  
  2263.  
  2264.  
  2265. &lt;p&gt;Then, the Jungle Junkyard car came down to reveal a luxurious double bed so that the pair could sleep in luxury.&lt;/p&gt;
  2266.  
  2267.  
  2268.  
  2269. &lt;p&gt;Also revealed to the duo was a container reveals a hidden large sofa and a cargo box that opened with a large bathtub with bubbles, bath salts, and hot water.&lt;/p&gt;
  2270.  
  2271.  
  2272.  
  2273. &lt;p&gt;A red chest then opened to reveal a gas cooker and a hidden fridge door opens, stocked with fruit smoothies and a fruit platter. &lt;/p&gt;
  2274.  
  2275.  
  2276.  
  2277. &lt;p&gt;Ant and Dec then explained to the pair that over the next few days, Maura and Rev Coles will have to complete a series of missions in order to win food.&lt;/p&gt;

  2290. MAURA Higgins is a late entry to I&amp;#039;m A Celeb 2024. Yet who is joining her? &lt;/p&gt;
  2292. &lt;div&gt;
  2293. &lt;p&gt;2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31451647/im-a-celebrity-full-line-up-maura-higgins-coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;the jungle line-up.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  2295. &lt;p&gt;The duo will join the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen Rooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14114158/im-a-celebrity-2024-line-up-barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14159222/mcflys-danny-jones-heathrow-joel-dommett-sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones &lt;/a&gt;in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series. &lt;/p&gt;
  2296. &lt;p&gt;Yet initially the duo will have their own private base &amp;#8211; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31843045/first-look-maura-higgins-richard-coles-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;a secret mission&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; before heading into the main compound Down Under.&lt;/p&gt;
  2297. &lt;p&gt;Maura has already described the jungle as &amp;#8220;hell.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2298. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31818603/rev-richard-coles-biggest-fear-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;confessed his biggest &amp;#8220;fear.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  2300. &lt;/div&gt;
  2301. &lt;/div&gt;
  2303.  
  2304.  
  2305.  
  2306. &lt;p&gt;And to be successful overall, they were told that they had to convince the celebs in the main camp that they were roughing it in the Jungle Junkyard.&lt;/p&gt;
  2307.  
  2308.  
  2309.  
  2310. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m a great liar,&amp;#8221; Maura boasted, while Richard weighed in with: &amp;#8220;I’m gonna learn fast!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2370.  
  2371.  
  2372.  
  2373. &lt;p&gt;THE “non-crime hate incident” is a ­modern invention both sinister and yet monstrously absurd. It must be scrapped.&lt;/p&gt;
  2374.  
  2375.  
  2376.  
  2377. &lt;p&gt;This mad concept flourished under the Tories, to their shame. But Labour politicians, ideologically committed to shaping and now policing the public’s behaviour, have doubled-down.&lt;/p&gt;
  2378.  
  2379.  
  2380.  
  2381. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867738&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/2024/11/man-getting-haircut-local-hairdressing-951023128.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man is getting his hair cut by a barber&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867738&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;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Police have probed &amp;#8216;hate&amp;#8217; complaints including one about a dodgy haircut[/caption]
  2382.  
  2383.  
  2384.  
  2385. &lt;p&gt;The NCHI allows anyone to trigger a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; probe into any interaction they feel was motivated by hostility towards someone’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/race/&quot;&gt;race&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/religion/&quot;&gt;religion&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt; or sexual preference. No evidence is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
  2386.  
  2387.  
  2388.  
  2389. &lt;p&gt;It is nothing but a charter for snowflakes and vexatious troublemakers.&lt;/p&gt;
  2390.  
  2391.  
  2392.  
  2393. &lt;p&gt;Among the jaw-dropping examples, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31867648/police-wasting-time-probing-hate-crimes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a bloke who thought a barber cut his hair roughly&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  2394.  
  2395.  
  2396.  
  2397. &lt;p&gt;A German offended by the word “Rottweiler”. A man mysteriously branded a “Leonard”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2398.  
  2399.  
  2400.  
  2401. &lt;p&gt;All contacted police, like thousands of other “non-crime” claimants, revelling in their victimhood, seeking “justice”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2402.  
  2403.  
  2404.  
  2405. &lt;p&gt;Police, supposedly too stretched now to attend your burglary or nick shoplifters, obsessively log each one. &lt;/p&gt;
  2406.  
  2407.  
  2408.  
  2409. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866579&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 961px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/d96461b2-7c12-4021-ad9e-31c5095af75d.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=951&quot; alt=&quot;a woman sitting in front of a bookshelf with the letter y on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866579&quot; width=&quot;951&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Essex Police have dropped their case looking into Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  2410.  
  2411.  
  2412.  
  2413. &lt;p&gt;And Home Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/yvette-cooper/&quot;&gt;Yvette Cooper&lt;/a&gt; is still keen on this drivel, even as real &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; rises.&lt;/p&gt;
  2414.  
  2415.  
  2416.  
  2417. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile her Tory shadow &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-philp/&quot;&gt;Chris Philp&lt;/a&gt; says: “Police should only investigate or record actual criminal allegations, or incidents with a real and imminent risk of criminality subsequently occurring.” Which sounds right.&lt;/p&gt;
  2418.  
  2419.  
  2420.  
  2421. &lt;p&gt;The Met at least will surely have to give up on it. A monstrous budget cut is forcing London’s force to lose 2,000 cops and limit police station opening times.&lt;/p&gt;
  2422.  
  2423.  
  2424.  
  2425. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It cannot justify a single non-crime probe now. Can it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2426.

  2437. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE farcical arrest warrant for Israel’s PM heaps disgrace and global ridicule on the International Criminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  2568.  
  2569.  
  2570.  
  2571. &lt;p&gt;The panel that reviews PGMOL decisions claimed VAR made only TWO mistakes this season, before Webb later admitted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31338526/west-ham-man-utd-bowen-penalty-ten-hag/&quot;&gt;awarding West Ham a penalty against Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; last month was also wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

  2582.

  2612. EXCLUSIVE by Martin Lipton &lt;/p&gt;
  2614. &lt;div&gt;
  2615. &lt;p&gt;NO referees or match officials have ever been tested for drugs &amp;#8211; as David Coote’s apparent “cocaine shame” is set to end his career.&lt;/p&gt;
  2616. &lt;p&gt;While all players and other athletes in British sport are subject to drug testing rules, including post-match and out of competition action, the regulations do not apply to match officials.&lt;/p&gt;
  2617. &lt;p&gt;That is the case globally across not just football and throughout the world rather than only in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  2618. &lt;p&gt;All sports follow the World&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/anti-doping/&quot;&gt;Anti-Doping&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Authority code, aimed at preventing athletes gaining an advantage by using performance-enhancing substances.&lt;/p&gt;
  2619. &lt;p&gt;The Wada banned list also includes recreational&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2620. &lt;p&gt;But the Wada provisions, also followed by UK Anti Doping, which conducts tests across British sport, makes no reference to match officials.&lt;/p&gt;
  2621. &lt;p&gt;UKAD explains: “Any UK athlete subject to the anti-doping rules of their sport and non-UK athlete staying, training, residing, entering a competition,&lt;/p&gt;
  2622. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Or named as a member of a team participating in a competition at any level within the UK is eligible for testing as part of UKAD’s national anti-doping programme.&lt;/p&gt;
  2623. &lt;p&gt;“Any athlete eligible for testing can be tested anytime, anywhere.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2624. &lt;p&gt;But the regulations do not apply to match officials &amp;#8211; because of the “performance enhancing” provision of the world code.&lt;/p&gt;
  2625. &lt;p&gt;The PGMOL have revealed they are aware of the video of him sniffing a white powder.&lt;/p&gt;
  2626. &lt;p&gt;They told The Sun: &amp;#8220;We aware of the allegations and are taking them very seriously. David Coote remains suspended pending a full investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  2627. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;David’s welfare continues to be of utmost importance to us and we are committed to providing him with the ongoing necessary support he needs through this period.&lt;/p&gt;
  2628. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are not in a position to comment further at this stage.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2629. &lt;/div&gt;
  2630. &lt;/div&gt;
  2631. &lt;/div&gt;
  2633.  
  2634.  
  2635.  
  2636. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2637.  
  2638.  
  2639.  
  2640. &lt;p&gt;“Ryan’s goal is open to interpretation. It’s the wrong decision because it’s not a clear and obvious error.&amp;nbsp; We are going to disagree on that forever.&lt;/p&gt;
  2641.  
  2642.  
  2643.  
  2644. &lt;p&gt;“For the second goal, they should take longer on analysing the foul from Craig Dawson because it’s a foul.&lt;/p&gt;

  2673.  
  2674.  
  2675.  
  2676. &lt;p&gt;“But if you still make a mistake after that process&amp;nbsp; it becomes even more frustrating.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2677.  
  2678.  
  2679.  
  2680. &lt;p&gt;PGMOL chiefs confirmed yesterday that they have yet to conclude their investigation into suspended Coote.&lt;/p&gt;
  2681.  
  2682.  
  2683.  
  2684. &lt;p&gt;The shamed 42-year-old made derogatory comments in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31749944/coote-referee-language-klopp-karren-brady-punch/&quot;&gt;an X-rated video rant at ex-Reds boss Jurgen Klopp&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2685.  
  2686.  
  2687.  
  2688. &lt;p&gt;A PGMOL statement read: “We’re following an internal process and taking the allegations into David’s conduct very seriously as part of our ongoing&amp;nbsp; thorough investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  2689.  
  2690.  
  2691.  
  2692. &lt;p&gt;“Whilst David remains suspended, his welfare continues to be important to us and he is aware of the support network available to him.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2693.  
  2694.  
  2695.  
  2696. &lt;p&gt;The FA have launched their own probe into Coote, while Uefa also suspended and are investigating the Nottinghamshire ref after footage emerged of him appearing to sniff white powder in a hotel at Euro 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

  2709.  
  2710.  
  2711.  
  2712. &lt;p&gt;Asked if the revelations about Coote would knock managers’ confidence in referees, Cooper replied: “I can’t go into that.” &lt;/p&gt;
  2713.  
  2714.  
  2715.  
  2716. &lt;p&gt;He then joked: “I’m more worried about what my dad would say to me if I answered that!”&lt;/p&gt;
  2717.  
  2718.  
  2719.  
  2720. &lt;p&gt;Martin added: “Referee are humans. They all make mistakes the same way we do. My trust probably eroded a bit more after the decision at Wolves than it did in watching a human make a mistake on a camera.&lt;/p&gt;
  2721.  
  2722.  
  2723.  
  2724. &lt;p&gt;“Let’s have a bit of compassion and understanding. I’m sure he’s feeling very upset and embarrassed about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  2725.  
  2726.  
  2727.  
  2728. &lt;p&gt;“What they do outside of their&amp;nbsp; football career as a referee really has no impact in how much I trust them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2729.  
  2730.  
  2731.  
  2732. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225644/brentford/&quot;&gt;Brentford&lt;/a&gt; boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/thomas-frank/&quot;&gt;Thomas Frank&lt;/a&gt; said: “We need to think about the pressure on the referees. &lt;/p&gt;
  2733.  
  2734.  
  2735.  
  2736. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No player or manager gets as much abuse on the pitch as a ref does – that’s crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
  2737.  
  2738.  
  2739.  
  2740. &lt;p&gt;“It’s like the mental bin where we get all our anger out and then go, ‘Ah, we feel good.’ It shouldn’t be like that.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  3070.  
  3071.  
  3072.  
  3073. &lt;p&gt;DOOM-scrolling and joining arguments on social media trap us in a cycle of bad mental health, scientists warn.&lt;/p&gt;
  3074.  
  3075.  
  3076.  
  3077. &lt;p&gt;They found that reading negative content online makes us unhappy — but we cannot resist looking at more when we feel down.&lt;/p&gt;
  3078.  
  3079.  
  3080.  
  3081. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/mental-health/&quot;&gt;Mental health&lt;/a&gt; issues are surging, with 3.8million people seeking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt; help last year compared to 2.7million in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  3082.  
  3083.  
  3084.  
  3085. &lt;p&gt;A study by University College &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; says that the internet is adding to people’s woes and a digital detox could help.&lt;/p&gt;
  3086.  
  3087.  
  3088.  
  3089. &lt;p&gt;A survey of 1,100 web users found their moods deteriorated after being shown negative content.&lt;/p&gt;
  3090.  
  3091.  
  3092.  
  3093. &lt;p&gt;But when they were allowed to look at whatever they wanted later, those in a bad mood were likely to look for more misery.&lt;/p&gt;
  3094.  
  3095.  
  3096.  
  3097. &lt;p&gt;Study author Professor Tali Sharot said: “Our results show that browsing negative content not only mirrors a person’s mood but can actively worsen it.&lt;/p&gt;
  3098.  
  3099.  
  3100.  
  3101. &lt;p&gt;“This creates a feedback loop that can perpetuate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mental-health/&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; challenges.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3102.  
  3103.  
  3104.  
  3105. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/depression/&quot;&gt;Depression&lt;/a&gt; and anxiety are the most common mental health issues in Britain.&lt;/p&gt;
  3106.  
  3107.  
  3108.  
  3109. &lt;p&gt;One in two people suffer with them at some point in their lives.&lt;/p&gt;

  3160.  
  3161.  
  3162.  
  3163.  
  3164. &lt;p&gt;BRITAIN’S biggest police force is set to lose 2,000 officers as a result of swingeing budget cuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  3165.  
  3166.  
  3167.  
  3168. &lt;p&gt;And 400 civilian staff &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt; could go as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/metropolitan-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Met&lt;/a&gt; slashes £450million from annual finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  3169.  
  3170.  
  3171.  
  3172. &lt;p&gt;Some London &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; stations will reduce opening hours to the public from 9am to 5pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  3173.  
  3174.  
  3175.  
  3176. &lt;p&gt;The 12.8 per cent reduction from this year’s £3.5billion budget is worse than “eye-watering” cuts feared by Met boss Sir Mark Rowley.&lt;/p&gt;
  3177.  
  3178.  
  3179.  
  3180. &lt;p&gt;Figures for the new budget are due to be announced at 11pm tonight by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Crime&lt;/a&gt;, alongside some of the tough measures that must be taken.&lt;/p&gt;
  3181.  
  3182.  
  3183.  
  3184. &lt;p&gt;Matt Cane, of the Police Federation, warned: “As we have said time and again, cuts have consequences. These will clearly have a significant impact on the Met’s ability to police London.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3185.  
  3186.  
  3187.  
  3188. &lt;p&gt;And retired Met Chief Supt Simon Ovens warned the cuts could mean the final straw for officers considering other careers.&lt;/p&gt;
  3189.  
  3190.  
  3191.  
  3192. &lt;p&gt;The Met is already projected to be down to 32,750 officers by March from its operating strength of 35,415.&lt;/p&gt;
  3193.  
  3194.  
  3195.  
  3196. &lt;p&gt;The loss of an additional 2,000 cops during the incoming financial year from April would put the force back to 2013 levels.&lt;/p&gt;
  3197.  
  3198.  
  3199.  
  3200. &lt;p&gt;Sir Mark said last week he was “deeply troubled” by talks over the annual settlement.&lt;/p&gt;
  3201.  
  3202.  
  3203.  
  3204. &lt;p&gt;He said the capital’s spending on policing per head of population was already lower than cities such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/new-york/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/sydney/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sydney&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3205.  
  3206.  
  3207.  
  3208. &lt;p&gt;This week &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/yvette-cooper/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Home Secretary Yvette Cooper&lt;/a&gt; promised a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31270958/british-policing-strengthen-model/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;crackdown on shoplifting, phone theft and anti-social behaviour.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  3302.  
  3303.  
  3304.  
  3305. &lt;p&gt;Dean&amp;#8217;s trial was based at the jungle’s scientific research facility, and he started it in the experimentation area, having two minutes to complete an experiment that would be worth two stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  3306.  
  3307.  
  3308.  
  3309. &lt;p&gt;This was then followed by seven different containment areas, where more stars were up for grabs &amp;#8211; but would he complete them all?&lt;/p&gt;
  3310.  
  3311.  
  3312.  
  3313. &lt;p&gt;In the containment areas, Dean was not alone and was joined by cockroaches, crickets and mealworms, giant lizards, snakes, and spiders. &lt;/p&gt;
  3314.  
  3315.  
  3316.  
  3317. &lt;p&gt;After getting four stars in total, the next section was filled with fish guts and Dean immediately shouted: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” &lt;/p&gt;
  3318.  
  3319.  
  3320.  
  3321. &lt;p&gt;As he was released, Dean went back to camp to break the news to his campmates.&lt;/p&gt;
  3322.  
  3323.  
  3324.  
  3325. &lt;p&gt;Fans watching the show at home were then quick to spot how it looked as though Dean&amp;#8217;s lip had gotten injured during the trial.&lt;/p&gt;
  3326.  
  3327.  
  3328.  
  3329. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;INJURY ON AIR&lt;/h2&gt;
  3330.  
  3331.  
  3332.  
  3333. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Bless him for getting 4 stars tho. Also, has anyone noticed that Dean has cut his lip,&amp;#8221; penned one viewer on X.&lt;/p&gt;
  3334.  
  3335.  
  3336.  
  3337. &lt;p&gt;Another then said, &amp;#8220;Has Dean cut his lip?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3338.  
  3339.  
  3340.  
  3341. &lt;p&gt;A third added, &amp;#8220;Is it me, or has no-one noticed Dean&amp;#8217;s lower lip on the right side bl33ding?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3342.  
  3343.  
  3344.  
  3345. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why is Dean&amp;#8217;s mouth bleeding? Spider bite?&amp;#8221; asked a fourth.&lt;/p&gt;

  3369. &lt;p&gt;During the trial, Dean had to unscrew stars with his mouth, which might have caused the red mark on his lower lip.&lt;/p&gt;
  3370.  
  3371.  
  3372.

  3375.  
  3376.  
  3377. &lt;p&gt;But despite his suspected injury and his low star count, Dean&amp;#8217;s campmates were overjoyed to see the Radio One DJ return with some grub for dinner.&lt;/p&gt;
  3378.  
  3379.  
  3380.  
  3381. &lt;p&gt;The camp seemed to be rather pleased with his efforts and decided to treat him to a nice bath and pamper.&lt;/p&gt;
  3382.  
  3383.  
  3384.

  3398. MAURA Higgins is a late entry to I&amp;#039;m A Celeb 2024. Yet who is joining her? &lt;/p&gt;
  3400. &lt;div&gt;
  3401. &lt;p&gt;2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31451647/im-a-celebrity-full-line-up-maura-higgins-coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;the jungle line-up.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3402. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14171421/im-a-celebrity-two-new-campmates-maura-richard/&quot;&gt;She will head into the I&amp;#8217;m A Celeb camp&lt;/a&gt;, along with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31837658/im-a-celebrity-reverend-richard-coles-millionaire/&quot;&gt;Reverend Richard Coles&lt;/a&gt;, 62.&lt;/p&gt;
  3403. &lt;p&gt;The duo will join the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen Rooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14114158/im-a-celebrity-2024-line-up-barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/14159222/mcflys-danny-jones-heathrow-joel-dommett-sam-thompson/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones &lt;/a&gt;in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series. &lt;/p&gt;
  3404. &lt;p&gt;Yet initially the duo will have their own private base &amp;#8211; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31843045/first-look-maura-higgins-richard-coles-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;a secret mission&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; before heading into the main compound Down Under.&lt;/p&gt;
  3405. &lt;p&gt;Maura has already described the jungle as &amp;#8220;hell.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3406. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31818603/rev-richard-coles-biggest-fear-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;confessed his biggest &amp;#8220;fear.&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3407. &lt;/div&gt;
  3408. &lt;/div&gt;
  3409. &lt;/div&gt;
  3411.  
  3412.  
  3413.  
  3414. &lt;p&gt;Reacting to the sweet moment, one viewer said on X, &amp;#8220;Dean getting a bubble bath courtesy of Alan and a shampoo from Danny for his job at the trial, oh Dean.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3415.  
  3416.  
  3417.  
  3418. &lt;p&gt;While a second said, &amp;#8220;I’ll tell you what, I’d go through that trial to be put in a bubble bath with Danny Jones massaging my head. What a lucky boy Dean is.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  3419.  
  3420.  
  3421.  
  3422. &lt;p&gt;Another then fumed, &amp;#8220;So you’re telling me Dean gets 4 stars and got a bubble bath but when GKBarry got 9 stars she got nothing!!??&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3499.  
  3500.  
  3501.  
  3502. &lt;p&gt;Confused, GK Barry asked: “Why are they dark?”&lt;/p&gt;
  3503.  
  3504.  
  3505.  
  3506. &lt;p&gt;Alan joked: “We got a bit of mud in the kettle but if you try it, it’s not too bad.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3507.  
  3508.  
  3509.  
  3510. &lt;p&gt;Fed up with the limited rations, Dean delivered the forbidden treat to his co-stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  3511.  
  3512.  
  3513.  
  3514. &lt;p&gt;But his actions didn’t go unnoticed by the show’s hosts, who caught wind of the blatant rule-breaking.&lt;/p&gt;
  3515.  
  3516.  
  3517.  
  3518. &lt;p&gt;Ant and Dec decided to conviscate half of the camp&amp;#8217;s treats that night.&lt;/p&gt;
  3519.  
  3520.  
  3521.  
  3522. &lt;p&gt;Melvin won 10 cupcakes in the latest camp challenge, but he was only allowed to return with five.&lt;/p&gt;
  3523.  
  3524.  
  3525.  
  3526. &lt;p&gt;Later, Dean was forced to give up his teabags.&lt;/p&gt;
  3527.  
  3528.

  3558. &lt;p&gt;Last night he failed to bring any stars home after taking part in Drown in the Dumps alongside GK Barry.&lt;/p&gt;
  3559.  
  3560.  
  3561.  
  3562. &lt;p&gt;The pair were gutted when they went back to camp with zero stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  3563.

  3570. &lt;p&gt;The Radio 1 DJ was absolutely terrified as he took part in Sinister Sarcophagus.&lt;/p&gt;
  3571.  
  3572.  
  3573.  
  3574. &lt;p&gt;While standing in a mummy figure he had to unscrew stars with his mouth and drop them in a slot, all while sand was filling up and answering questions by Ant and Dec.&lt;/p&gt;
  3575.  
  3576.  
  3577.  
  3578. &lt;p&gt;After just two, he shouted &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m a celebrity get me out of here!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  3633. &lt;p&gt;A COMPLAINT about a “rough” haircut was logged as a “hate” incident by cops. &lt;/p&gt;
  3634.  
  3635.  
  3636.  
  3637. &lt;p&gt;In the barmy case, the upset punter blamed an argument about Ukraine for a bad trim. &lt;/p&gt;
  3638.  
  3639.  
  3640.  
  3641. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867738&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/2024/11/man-getting-haircut-local-hairdressing-951023128.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man is getting his hair cut by a barber&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867738&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;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Police have probed &amp;#8216;hate&amp;#8217; complaints including one about a dodgy haircut[/caption]
  3642.  
  3643.  
  3644.  
  3645. &lt;p&gt;Other so-called non-crime hate incidents logged by police include a German woman upset about being likened to a rottweiler. &lt;/p&gt;
  3646.  
  3647.  
  3648.  
  3649. &lt;p&gt;It comes as the cash-strapped Met faces axing 2,000 cops who could catch real criminals, and only opening stations from 9am-5pm. &lt;/p&gt;
  3650.  
  3651.  
  3652.  
  3653. &lt;p&gt;Last night Essex Police dropped a hate probe into journalist &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31864331/cops-drop-probe-journalist-allison-pearson/&quot;&gt;Allison Pearson&lt;/a&gt; over a year-old post — but only after putting her through 12 days of anguish.&lt;/p&gt;
  3654.  
  3655.  
  3656.  
  3657. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, a customer contacted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cops&lt;/a&gt; to say his barber was “aggressive and rough” because he spoke Russian.&lt;/p&gt;
  3658.  
  3659.  
  3660.  
  3661. &lt;p&gt;Similar bizarre cases saw officers called over a neighbour in a hedge dispute who said it was homophobic to brand him “Leonard”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3662.  
  3663.  
  3664.  
  3665. &lt;p&gt;As Britain’s biggest police force faces axing 2,000 cops, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-philp/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp&lt;/a&gt; said: “The police should not waste any valuable time on incidents like this. &lt;/p&gt;
  3666.  
  3667.  
  3668.  
  3669. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is plenty of real &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; they should be preventing and solving.&lt;/p&gt;

  3681. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  3683.  
  3684.  
  3685.  
  3686. &lt;p&gt;“An aggressively-administered haircut is not a police matter. &lt;/p&gt;
  3687.  
  3688.  
  3689.  
  3690. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The police should only spend time investigating or recording actual criminal allegations or incidents where there is a real and imminent risk of criminality subsequently occurring.&lt;/p&gt;
  3691.  
  3692.  
  3693.  
  3694. &lt;p&gt;“The Government needs to urgently update the guidance to ensure this is the case.&lt;/p&gt;
  3695.  
  3696.  
  3697.  
  3698. &lt;p&gt;“This nonsense undermines confidence in policing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3699.  
  3700.  
  3701.  
  3702. &lt;p&gt;A staggering 13,000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31728182/children-non-crime-hate-incidents-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;non-crime hate incidents&lt;/a&gt; (NCHIs) were recorded in the year to June.&lt;/p&gt;
  3703.  
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706. &lt;p&gt;These are cases where no criminal offence has been committed, but the person reporting an ­incident feels it was motivated by hostility or prejudice.&lt;/p&gt;
  3707.  
  3708.  
  3709.  
  3710. &lt;p&gt;The Lithuanian haircut “victim” claimed he was targeted because he spoke Russian.&lt;/p&gt;
  3711.  
  3712.  
  3713.  
  3714. &lt;p&gt;A City of London Police log of the incident, seen by The Sun, said: “Barber asked him about the present situation in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/ukraine/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ukraine&lt;/a&gt;, victim stated that all conversations with the barber were fine, but he stated that the barber was aggressive and rough whilst he was cutting his hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  3715.  
  3716.  
  3717.  
  3718. &lt;p&gt;“The victim believes this was because he spoke Russian and is a hate incident.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3765.  
  3766. &lt;p&gt;Wiltshire cops investigated an incident where a person in the street said others were mocking the length of their hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  3767.  
  3768.  
  3769.  
  3770. &lt;p&gt;The rottweiler “racial abuse” complaint was made to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cambridgeshire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cambridgeshire&lt;/a&gt; Police from a woman in a parking dispute with a neighbour.&lt;/p&gt;

  3791.  
  3792.  
  3793.  
  3794. &lt;p&gt;Another barmy case saw a swimming teacher in West Yorkshire probed after a mother said her son had been allowed to bang his head against the side of the pool “due to his ethnicity”.&lt;/p&gt;

  3799.  
  3800.  
  3801.  
  3802. &lt;p&gt;“It is high time His Majesty’s Inspectorate stepped in to stop the recording of non-crime hate incidents. Either a matter is a crime or it is not. If it isn’t then police should not be involved.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3823. &lt;p&gt;BRITAIN’S biggest police force is set to lose 2,000 officers as a result of swingeing budget cuts.&lt;/p&gt;
  3824. &lt;p&gt;And 400 civilian staff jobs could go as the Met slashes £450million from annual finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  3825. &lt;p&gt;Some London police stations will reduce opening hours to the public from 9am to 5pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  3826. &lt;p&gt;The 12.8 per cent reduction from this year’s £3.5billion budget is worse than “eye-watering” cuts feared by Met boss Sir Mark Rowley.&lt;/p&gt;
  3827. &lt;p&gt;Figures for the new budget are due to be announced at 11pm tonight by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, alongside some of the tough measures that must be taken.&lt;/p&gt;
  3828. &lt;p&gt;Matt Cane, of the Police Federation, warned: “As we have said time and again, cuts have consequences. These will clearly have a significant impact on the Met’s ability to police London.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3829. &lt;p&gt;And retired Met Chief Supt Simon Ovens warned the cuts could mean the final straw for officers considering other careers.&lt;/p&gt;
  3830. &lt;p&gt;The Met is already projected to be down to 32,750 officers by March from its operating strength of 35,415.&lt;/p&gt;
  3831. &lt;p&gt;The loss of an additional 2,000 cops during the incoming financial year from April would put the force back to 2013 levels.&lt;/p&gt;
  3832. &lt;p&gt;Sir Mark said last week he was “deeply troubled” by talks over the annual settlement.&lt;/p&gt;
  3833. &lt;p&gt;He said the capital’s spending on policing per head of population was already lower than cities such as New York and Sydney.&lt;/p&gt;
  3834. &lt;p&gt;This week Home Secretary Yvette Cooper promised a crackdown on shoplifting, phone theft and anti-social behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  3835. &lt;p&gt;She pledged £500million for more cops, though did not specify if the figure included inflation rises.&lt;/p&gt;
  3836. &lt;p&gt;The Met said: “We maintain a productive dialogue with the Mayor and Home Office. No final decisions have been made.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3837. &lt;/div&gt;
  3838. &lt;/div&gt;

  4078. &lt;li&gt;90g apricot jam&lt;/li&gt;

  4091. &lt;/ul&gt;
  4092.  
  4093.  
  4094.  
  4095. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;METHOD: &lt;/strong&gt;Zest the oranges and lemon, then juice one of the oranges. Tip the brandy-soaked fruit into a large bowl and stir through the citrus zests and orange juice.&lt;/p&gt;
  4096.  
  4097.  
  4098.  
  4099. &lt;p&gt;Cover and set aside for at least three hours (or overnight).&lt;/p&gt;
  4100.  
  4101.  
  4102.  
  4103. &lt;p&gt;Preheat the oven to 140C, fan 120C, &lt;span id=&quot;f04def8b-0fc9-4a36-bbfd-6aba17ad19ad&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;gas&lt;/span&gt; mark 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  4104.  
  4105.  
  4106.  
  4107. &lt;p&gt;Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm traybake tin with baking paper.&lt;/p&gt;
  4108.  
  4109.  
  4110.  
  4111. &lt;p&gt;In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, light brown sugar and golden syrup for a few minutes until pale and fluffy.&lt;/p&gt;
  4112.  
  4113.  
  4114.  
  4115. &lt;p&gt;Crack in the eggs, one by one, beating well after each addition. Fold through the flour, mixed spice and salt until well combined. Chop the pecans, then stir through the cake batter with the soaked fruit.&lt;/p&gt;
  4116.  
  4117.  
  4118.  
  4119. &lt;p&gt;Scrape into the prepared tin, then level the surface with a spatula.&lt;/p&gt;
  4120.  
  4121.  
  4122.  
  4123. &lt;p&gt;Bake in the oven for 1 hour 45 mins to two  hours until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.&lt;/p&gt;
  4124.  
  4125.  
  4126.  
  4127. &lt;p&gt;Leave to cool completely in the tin.&lt;/p&gt;
  4128.  
  4129.  
  4130.  
  4131. &lt;p&gt;Once cool, remove the cake from the tin on to a board. Use a thin skewer to poke holes into the cake, then “feed” with 2 tbsp brandy. Wrap the cake in a double layer of fresh baking paper, then a double layer of foil.&lt;/p&gt;
  4132.  
  4133.  
  4134.  
  4135. &lt;p&gt;Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.&lt;/p&gt;
  4136.  
  4137.  
  4138.  
  4139. &lt;p&gt;Repeat the feeding every two to three weeks until you decorate, rewrapping each time.&lt;/p&gt;
  4140.  
  4141.  
  4142.  
  4143. &lt;p&gt;To decorate, warm the apricot jam in a small saucepan to loosen it.&lt;/p&gt;
  4144.  
  4145.  
  4146.  
  4147. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, dust your work surface well with icing sugar. Roll out the marzipan to slightly larger than the top of your cake.&lt;/p&gt;
  4148.  
  4149.  
  4150.  
  4151. &lt;p&gt;Brush the surface of the cake with some of the apricot jam, then carefully lift on the marzipan. Trim around the marzipan with clean scissors so it sits neatly on top.&lt;/p&gt;
  4152.  
  4153.  
  4154.  
  4155. &lt;p&gt;Dust your work surface again with icing sugar, then roll out the icing in the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
  4156.  
  4157.  
  4158.  
  4159. &lt;p&gt;Stamp out stars using different sized cutters. Brush the marzipan with water, then carefully lift the icing on top.&lt;/p&gt;
  4160.  
  4161.  
  4162.  
  4163. &lt;p&gt;Smooth over with your hand or a piece of leftover icing. Dot the back of any stamped-out stars with a little apricot jam and secure on to the cake as you wish.&lt;/p&gt;
  4164.  
  4165.  
  4166.  
  4167. &lt;p&gt;Slice and serve.&lt;/p&gt;
  4168.  
  4169.  
  4170.  
  4171. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total cost:&lt;/strong&gt; £14.20&lt;/p&gt;

  4191. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOU NEED:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4192.  
  4193.  
  4194.

  4209.  
  4210.  
  4211.  
  4212. &lt;li&gt;1 tsp baking powder&lt;/li&gt;
  4213.  
  4214.  
  4215.  
  4216. &lt;li&gt;1 orange, zest only&lt;/li&gt;
  4217.  
  4218.  
  4219.  
  4220. &lt;li&gt;135g unsalted butter, cut into cubes&lt;/li&gt;
  4221.  
  4222.  
  4223.  
  4224. &lt;li&gt;125ml whole milk&lt;/li&gt;
  4225. &lt;/ul&gt;
  4226.  
  4227.  
  4228.  
  4229. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To decorate:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  4230.  
  4231.  
  4232.  
  4233. &lt;ul&gt;
  4234. &lt;li&gt;240g icing sugar&lt;/li&gt;
  4235.  
  4236.  
  4237.  
  4238. &lt;li&gt;½ tsp vanilla essence&lt;/li&gt;
  4239.  
  4240.  
  4241.  
  4242. &lt;li&gt;3 tbsp milk&lt;/li&gt;
  4243.  
  4244.  
  4245.  
  4246. &lt;li&gt;Food colouring gel&lt;/li&gt;
  4247.  
  4248.  
  4249.  
  4250. &lt;li&gt;Icing pens&lt;/li&gt;
  4251. &lt;/ul&gt;
  4252.  
  4253.  
  4254.  
  4255. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;METHOD: &lt;/strong&gt;For the shortbread dough, mix together the flours, nuts, icing sugar and baking powder, then pour into a mixer.&lt;/p&gt;
  4256.  
  4257.  
  4258.  
  4259. &lt;p&gt;Add the orange zest and butter cubes, pulsing to combine until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.&lt;/p&gt;
  4260.  
  4261.  
  4262.  
  4263. &lt;p&gt;Tip the mix into a bowl and gradually add the milk, bringing the mix together to form a firm dough. Wrap in cling &lt;span id=&quot;4d681417-f422-49a7-bb5e-88b5a317d765&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;film&lt;/span&gt; and leave to rest in the fridge for ten minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4264.  
  4265.  
  4266.  
  4267. &lt;p&gt;Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180C, gas mark 6. Line two large baking trays with parchment.&lt;/p&gt;
  4268.  
  4269.  
  4270.  
  4271. &lt;p&gt;Roll out the dough and cut out 24 biscuits, either using a decorative cutter or by dividing into rectangles.&lt;/p&gt;
  4272.  
  4273.  
  4274.  
  4275. &lt;p&gt;Divide between baking trays and bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove them from the trays and put them on a wire rack to cool.&lt;/p&gt;
  4276.  
  4277.  
  4278.  
  4279. &lt;p&gt;While the biscuits are cooling, prepare your icing.&lt;/p&gt;
  4280.  
  4281.  
  4282.  
  4283. &lt;p&gt;In a bowl, combine the icing sugar and vanilla essence along with two tbsp of milk.&lt;/p&gt;
  4284.  
  4285.  
  4286.  
  4287. &lt;p&gt;Beat the mixture until it turns pale and meringue-like – if you need a runnier consistency, just add an extra spoonful of milk.&lt;/p&gt;
  4288.  
  4289.  
  4290.  
  4291. &lt;p&gt;To create different coloured icing, divide the mixture between bowls and use the food colouring gels.&lt;/p&gt;
  4292.  
  4293.  
  4294.  
  4295. &lt;p&gt;To decorate, unleash your inner artist and use the coloured icing pens to create patterns and shapes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4296.  
  4297.  
  4298.  
  4299. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total cost:&lt;/strong&gt; £8.05&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  4902.  
  4903.  
  4904.  
  4905. &lt;p&gt;Here are the tips and tricks to get started.&lt;/p&gt;
  4906.  
  4907.  
  4908.  
  4909. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start Shopping Now:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Black Friday might be a week away but many supermarkets being running promotions the week before.&amp;nbsp;Lidl’s weekly offers&amp;nbsp;are live now with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/black-friday/&quot;&gt;Black Friday&lt;/a&gt; deals expected to drop on Monday 25 November. &lt;/p&gt;
  4910.  
  4911.  
  4912.  
  4913. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt; has offers on a limited number of products including a £12 dash cam and £200 50-inch TV, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesco/&quot;&gt;Tesco&lt;/a&gt; is offering the&amp;nbsp;Joie Roomie Glide Co-Sleeping Crib&amp;nbsp;for £50, down from £160.&lt;/p&gt;
  4914.  
  4915.  
  4916.  
  4917. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go Big:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Is your local supermarket on the small side? Then consider travelling to the nearest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/a&gt; park or supersized store. &lt;/p&gt;
  4918.  
  4919.  
  4920.  
  4921. &lt;p&gt;The bigger the store, the higher the stock levels so the more likely you’ll be to bag the very best bargains.&lt;/p&gt;
  4922.  
  4923.  
  4924.  
  4925. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be an Early Bird:&lt;/strong&gt; Check the store opening hours as they may differ to normal. Some stores will open extra early while others even offer 24-hour trading. &lt;/p&gt;
  4926.  
  4927.  
  4928.  
  4929. &lt;p&gt;There will be limited stock on the items with the deepest discounts, so get there as early as you can to increase your chances.  &lt;/p&gt;
  4930.  
  4931.  
  4932.  
  4933. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before You Begin: &lt;/strong&gt;Buy one small item like a pint of milk or a bottle of water and scan your loyalty card or app when you pay. &lt;/p&gt;
  4934.  
  4935.  
  4936.  
  4937. &lt;p&gt;This will tell the supermarket’s data system than you’re in the store and may trigger it to offer extra discount coupons or offers, which you can then use on your main shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  4938.  
  4939.  
  4940.  
  4941. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spend Points: &lt;/strong&gt;Saved up points on your supermarket loyalty card? Check your balance and see if you can use it to buy what you need.&lt;/p&gt;

  4965. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Or Save Them Up: &lt;/strong&gt;Alternatively, clock up extra points on your Black Friday shopping which you can then use in December for your festive fresh food shop.  &lt;/p&gt;
  4966.  
  4967.  
  4968.  
  4969. &lt;p&gt;Most stores won’t offer extra points over the Black Friday weekend so you can keep them for double-up days in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  4970.  
  4971.  
  4972.  
  4973. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target your big buys: &lt;/strong&gt;Black Friday sees supermarkets sell scores of big-ticket items they wouldn’t normally offer, such as super-sized TVs, air fryers, branded toys, washing machines or vacuum cleaners.&lt;/p&gt;
  4974.  
  4975.  
  4976.  
  4977. &lt;p&gt;Follow your favourite supermarkets on social media and keep an eye on the Sun this week too as we’ll bring you all the best offers. &lt;/p&gt;
  4978.  
  4979.  
  4980.  
  4981. &lt;p&gt;Once you’ve spotted what you want, get to the store and head straight to the relevant aisle. Buy this item before anything else so you’ve got it secured at the right price.&lt;/p&gt;
  4982.  
  4983.  
  4984.  
  4985. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy the Xmas Basics: &lt;/strong&gt;The mega-deals may grab the headlines but Black Friday is brilliant for securing all your everyday festive basics too. &lt;/p&gt;

  4992.  
  4993. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Freeze Your Spending:&lt;/strong&gt; This week, have an ‘eat-up week’ to clear out space in your freezer. &lt;/p&gt;
  4994.  
  4995.  
  4996.  
  4997. &lt;p&gt;You’ll save &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; and you can use the cash to buy festive food bargains. Items which are usually reduced over the Black Friday weekend include premium ice cream, &lt;span id=&quot;87f8fb7e-16fe-4f85-b1a7-bd554dd9b725&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;frozen&lt;/span&gt; turkeys and &lt;span id=&quot;a45c019d-bb76-4141-ba98-aa7e8e544038&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;frozen&lt;/span&gt; party food.&lt;/p&gt;

  4999.  
  5000.  
  5001. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boozy Bargains: &lt;/strong&gt;Get into the festive spirit with some serious savings on Christmas drinks. Over the Black Friday weekend, supermarkets typically offer up to a third off selected premium champagne and spirits, plus bumper deals on slabs of beer. &lt;/p&gt;
  5002.  
  5003.  
  5004.  
  5005. &lt;p&gt;Don’t drink? Don’t worry, there will be offers on low-alcohol drinks and fizzy pop too. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/iceland-2/&quot;&gt;Iceland&lt;/a&gt; is already offering five x 24-crates of 330ml fizzy drinks for just £40. That’s just 33p per can.&lt;/p&gt;
  5006.  
  5007.  
  5008.  
  5009. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Festive Food:&lt;/strong&gt; Nothing gets us in the mood for Xmas like a display of mouth-watering festive food. &lt;/p&gt;
  5010.  
  5011.  
  5012.  
  5013. &lt;p&gt;From mince pies to nuts to crisps to Christmas puddings, the Black Friday weekend is a chance to get your festive store cupboard sorted, all at knockdown prices. But before you by, check the use-by date so you know it will keep long enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  5014.  
  5015.  
  5016.  
  5017. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cut out and keep your coupons: &lt;/strong&gt;Most supermarkets offer a printed magazine, either at the checkout on in display baskets at the store entrance. This week, grab a copy and clip out the coupons to use on your Black Friday shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  5018.  
  5019.  
  5020.  
  5021. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deliver Yourself a Delivery Deal: &lt;/strong&gt;Love online supermarket shopping? Black Friday is the best time to bag a bargain on stores’ delivery passes. &lt;/p&gt;
  5022.  
  5023.

  5228.  
  5229.  
  5230.  
  5231. &lt;p&gt;Sarah started looking at houses when she and her partner were planning to have a third child and came across one that seemed suitable. &lt;/p&gt;
  5232.  
  5233.  
  5234.  
  5235. &lt;p&gt;She realised it needed some work, but &amp;#8220;nothing urgent,&amp;#8221; and the pair thought the house was habitable since someone was living there at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
  5236.  
  5237.  
  5238.

  5240.  
  5241.  
  5242.  
  5243. &lt;p&gt;The mum revealed that it was a deceased estate, and the children of the elderly couple who had passed away were selling it.&lt;/p&gt;
  5244.  
  5245.  
  5246.  
  5247. &lt;p&gt;Sarah adds: &amp;#8220;One of the children, a man much older than me, was still living there. So, we assumed it was okay to live in.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5248.  
  5249.  
  5250.  
  5251. &lt;p&gt;Sarah had a full and extensive survey carried out on the house, and the &amp;#8220;only potential concern was that the surveyor couldn’t fully inspect the loft due to a sign indicating it wasn’t safe.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  5252.  
  5253.  
  5254.  
  5255. &lt;p&gt;She continues: &amp;#8220;He did manage to poke his head up and saw a few droppings, suggesting we query it. &lt;/p&gt;
  5256.  
  5257.  
  5258.  
  5259. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The vendors responded that a few years ago, a squirrel had gotten into the loft via the eaves. &lt;/p&gt;
  5260.  
  5261.  
  5262.  
  5263. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The hole had been blocked up, the squirrel removed, and there were no further issues.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5264.  
  5265.  
  5266.  
  5267. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The sale progressed steadily, but towards the end, the vendors stalled, causing us to miss the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/stamp-duty/&quot;&gt;stamp duty&lt;/a&gt; holiday. &lt;/p&gt;
  5268.  
  5269.  
  5270.  
  5271. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Consequently, we ended up paying thousands more than we had intended. &lt;/p&gt;

  5294.  
  5295. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Eventually, we completed the purchase and moved in. I was six weeks pregnant at this time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5296.  
  5297.  
  5298.  
  5299. &lt;p&gt;But within the first three days of moving in, Sarah began to notice a strange smell, which she could only describe as &amp;#8220;cabbagey.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  5300.  
  5301.  
  5302.  
  5303. &lt;p&gt;She explained: &amp;#8220;The smell seemed to be getting stronger, but my husband insisted it was because I was pregnant. I also started noticing other unpleasant smells around the house.&lt;/p&gt;
  5304.  
  5305.  
  5306.  
  5307. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was a cupboard in the kitchen with the boiler, and when you opened the door, the musty, musky smell was sickening. It was awful, so my husband agreed to call a pest controller to be on the safe side.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5321.  
  5322.  
  5323.  
  5324. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Within five minutes of the pest controller&amp;#8217;s arrival and a quick inspection, he confirmed that we had not only a historic rat infestation but also a current infestation with live and decaying rats and numerous droppings.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5325.  
  5326.  
  5327.  
  5328. &lt;p&gt;Revealing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.arthurwears.com/2022/02/we-bought-rat-infested-house.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;on her blog, (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;on her blog,&lt;/a&gt; Sarah explained that the expert checked the perimeter of the house for entry holes and concluded that the rats were getting in via a drain rather than a hole above ground. &lt;/p&gt;
  5329.

  5334. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;A home survey will establish the condition of a property&lt;/h3&gt;
  5335. &lt;/div&gt;

  5338. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  5339. A SURVEY gives a detailed inspection into the condition of a property, highlighting any major repair work that’s needed. &lt;/p&gt;
  5341. &lt;div&gt;
  5342. &lt;p&gt;It can also help you decide whether or not you’re paying the right amount for your home.&lt;/p&gt;
  5343. &lt;p&gt;The reports are carried out by qualified surveyors and costs vary from company to company. There are also different types of surveys depending on the depth of the report that you want and your budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  5344. &lt;p&gt;These are the different types of surveys and their typical prices, according to the Homeowners Alliance:&lt;/p&gt;
  5345. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condition report, £300 or more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5346. &lt;p&gt;This gives a traffic light report to indicate the conditions of various states of the property &amp;#8211; green for okay, orange for cause for concern.&lt;br /&gt;The report provides you with a sumary of defects and possible risks but won’t provide any advice or valuations.&lt;/p&gt;
  5347. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HomeBuyers report, £450 or more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5348. &lt;p&gt;On top of everything you get in the condition report, you’ll also get a valuation and an insurance reinstatement value &amp;#8211; which is an estimate of how much you’ll receive if the building were to burn down.&lt;/p&gt;
  5349. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Condition survey, £400 to £900&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are carried out by the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA) rather than the&amp;nbsp;Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and includes information on broadband speeds, a damp assessment and boundary issues to consider. The price depends on the valuation of the property.&lt;/p&gt;
  5350. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building survey, £500 or more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5351. &lt;p&gt;These are extensive reports where the surveyor will go into places such as the attic, check behind walls and look between floors and above ceilings. It will also provide advice on repairs, estimated costs and timings, and what will happen if you don’t carry out the repairs. Prices depend on the size of the property.&lt;/p&gt;
  5352. &lt;/div&gt;
  5353. &lt;/div&gt;
  5354. &lt;/div&gt;
  5356.  
  5357.  
  5358.  
  5359. &lt;p&gt;They were advised to get a full drain survey done to locate the entry points.&lt;/p&gt;
  5360.  
  5361.  
  5362.  
  5363. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;He laid down some more rat poison but made it clear that unless we found the entry points, this would be an ongoing issue. &lt;/p&gt;
  5364.  
  5365.  
  5366.  
  5367. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He also advised us to try and get hold of the reports from the previous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pest-control/&quot;&gt;pest control&lt;/a&gt; company which the vendors used, to find out exactly what had been done and where the hole was that was sealed up. &lt;/p&gt;
  5368.  
  5369.  
  5370.  
  5371. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He made an appointment to come back in a few days and lay a different type of liquid poison in the loft once the entry points had been sealed up. &lt;/p&gt;

  5384.  
  5385.  
  5386.  
  5387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That night we could hear rats in our bedroom wall scratching furiously as if they were trying to break out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5388.  
  5389.  
  5390.  
  5391. &lt;p&gt;Fast forward to now, with lots of work and spending over £2,000, the family has managed to eradicate the issue and rat-proof the house. &lt;/p&gt;
  5392.  
  5393.  
  5394.  
  5395. &lt;p&gt;Sarah explained: &amp;#8220;We have put extensive measures in place to ensure that the house is now rodent-proof.&lt;/p&gt;
  5396.  
  5397.  
  5398.  
  5399. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Such as: a full drain survey and drain repairs, one-way drain valves installed, all points of ingress filled in, water tank and boiler relocated from the loft/kitchen to the garage, full loft decontamination and re-insulation, new reinforced toilet waste pipes, and removal of encroaching foliage around the house.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5400.  
  5401.  
  5402.  
  5403. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  5404. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  5405. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Who is eligible for the First Home Scheme?&lt;/h3&gt;
  5406. &lt;/div&gt;
  5407. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  5410. &lt;div&gt;
  5411. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ONLY first-time buyers can purchase a home under the First Home scheme and it&amp;#8217;s not available in Wales or Scotland.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5412. &lt;p&gt;As the scheme is aimed at helping buyers on lower incomes get on the property ladder, you won’t be eligible if your combined household income is over £80,000, or £90,000 if you live in London.&lt;/p&gt;
  5413. &lt;p&gt;Those who can afford to buy one of the homes without a mortgage will not qualify for the help.&lt;/p&gt;
  5414. &lt;p&gt;Buyers must use a mortgage for at least 50% of the price of the discounted home.&lt;/p&gt;
  5415. &lt;p&gt;However, further conditions can be set by local councils so the eligibility criteria may vary depending on where you&amp;#8217;re looking to buy.&lt;/p&gt;
  5416. &lt;p&gt;For example, some authorities may give key workers first dibs.&lt;/p&gt;
  5417. &lt;p&gt;But after the first three months of the homes going on sale, extra conditions set by the local authority will be removed for any First Homes which haven’t been sold or reserved.&lt;/p&gt;
  5418. &lt;/div&gt;
  5419. &lt;/div&gt;

  5484.  
  5485.  
  5486.  
  5487. &lt;p&gt;But as she ran over to the corner flag to celebrate, she was struck by a projectile which appeared to be thrown from the home supporters.&lt;/p&gt;
  5488.  
  5489.  
  5490.  
  5491. &lt;p&gt;The striker looked over to the crowd to see where the object came from, but as she began walking back to the halfway line referee Silvia Gasperotti brandished a yellow card.&lt;/p&gt;
  5492.  
  5493.  
  5494.  
  5495. &lt;p&gt;Shaw looked completely perplexed as her team-mate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alex-greenwood/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alex Greenwood&lt;/a&gt; attempted to question the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  5496.  
  5497.  
  5498.  
  5499. &lt;p&gt;However, Gasperotti just walked away before restarting the match.&lt;/p&gt;
  5500.  
  5501.  
  5502.  
  5503. &lt;p&gt;Fans on social media were equally confused as to why Shaw received a booking.&lt;/p&gt;
  5504.  
  5505.  
  5506.  
  5507. &lt;p&gt;One person wrote: &amp;#8220;Absolutely crazy decision from the ref.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5508.  
  5509.  
  5510.  
  5511. &lt;p&gt;Another commented: &amp;#8220;Just when you think you have seen the worst decision in women&amp;#8217;s football the refs just have to take it to a new level.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5512.  
  5513.  
  5514.  
  5515. &lt;p&gt;While a third said: &amp;#8220;Poor officiating, there has to be severe punishment for this incompetence.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5516.

  5520.  
  5521.  
  5522.  
  5523. &lt;p&gt;Other fans appeared to suggest that Shaw was booked for &amp;#8220;excessively celebrating&amp;#8221; in front of the Hammarby fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  5524.  
  5525.  
  5526.  
  5527. &lt;p&gt;One commented: &amp;#8220;She celebrated in front of Hammarby stand, that&amp;#8217;s why she got a yellow card.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5552.  
  5553.  
  5554.  
  5555. &lt;p&gt;Just four minutes after Ellen Wangerheim equalised for Hammarby, the striker fired a shot straight into the top-right corner from the edge of the box.&lt;/p&gt;
  5556.  
  5557.  
  5558.  
  5559. &lt;p&gt;The goal saw her become Man City Women&amp;#8217;s all-time top goalscorer in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/champions-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5589.  
  5590. &lt;p&gt;A TOP chef has been forced to close down his Michelin-starred restaurant just months after it lost its star.&lt;/p&gt;
  5591.  
  5592.  
  5593.  
  5594. &lt;p&gt;Leroy, in Leonard Street, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;Shoreditch&lt;/a&gt;, sadly announced its closure after seven years of serving devoted fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  5595.  
  5596.  
  5597.  
  5598. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868111&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/2024/11/leroy-shoreditch-951063118.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;a man in an apron is standing in a kitchen next to a man with a tattoo on his arm&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868111&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;Fans were devastated to hear of the sudden closure[/caption]
  5599.  
  5600.  
  5601.  
  5602. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868110&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/2024/11/leroy-shoreditch-951063257.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;a brick building with a sign that says phiff st&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868110&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;Leroy, in Shoreditch, London, was famous for its reasonable Michelin star prices[/caption]
  5603.  
  5604.  
  5605.  
  5606. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868108&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/2024/11/leroy-shoreditch-951063119.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=768&quot; alt=&quot;a man wearing a geralds bar shirt holds a glass of wine&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868108&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;Head chef Simon Shand (pictured) worked at the popular restaurant alongside another top chef, Sam Kamienko[/caption]
  5607.  
  5608.  
  5609.  
  5610. &lt;p&gt;Simon Shand was the head chef at the former Michelin-starred restaurant, opened by Ed Thaw and Jack Lewens in 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  5611.  
  5612.  
  5613.  
  5614. &lt;p&gt;The pair also owned the prestigious Ellory in Hackney, before that closed down after two and a half years.&lt;/p&gt;
  5615.  
  5616.  
  5617.  
  5618. &lt;p&gt;They were joined by another top chef, Sam Kamienko, and Leroy proudly achieved a Michelin star just months after welcoming customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5619.  
  5620.  
  5621.  
  5622. &lt;p&gt;But now the beloved restaurant has officially turned off their ovens for the last time. &lt;/p&gt;
  5623.  
  5624.  
  5625.  
  5626. &lt;p&gt;In an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram &lt;/a&gt;post, the team said: &amp;#8220;It has been quite the ride but sadly nothing lasts forever.&lt;/p&gt;
  5627.  
  5628.  
  5629.  
  5630. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We fought hard against the dying of the light but sometimes there is a time to let go.&lt;/p&gt;
  5631.  
  5632.  
  5633.  
  5634. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our heart breaks not to be able to continue the journey but we can leave knowing that we did all we could.&lt;/p&gt;
  5635.  
  5636.  
  5637.  
  5638. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Despite what our government may think, this is a noble profession and indeed any small business owner has our enduring respect.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5639.  
  5640.  
  5641.  
  5642. &lt;p&gt;Fans were devastated to hear the news and hailed Leroy for its famous dishes.&lt;/p&gt;
  5643.  
  5644.  
  5645.  
  5646. &lt;p&gt;One penned: &amp;#8220;Don’t let this passing sadness overshadow your greatness &amp;amp; influence on the East London food &amp;amp; wine scene&lt;/p&gt;
  5647.  
  5648.  
  5649.  
  5650. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On the frontier of low intervention wine as it is today &amp;amp; defining the way we all dine now. You’re epic. Unforgettable. Definitive.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5651.  
  5652.  
  5653.  
  5654. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Filled with so much emotion and pride for you dearest bro @edonist_ldn.&lt;/p&gt;
  5655.  
  5656.  
  5657.  
  5658. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Shoreditch has lost a precious jewel in its crown!&lt;/p&gt;
  5659.  
  5660.  
  5661.  
  5662. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Leroy was a vibe. You and your stellar team nailed it all: the food, wine, ambiance, service &amp;amp; music, the @louisesheeran illustrations adorning the walls &amp;amp; iconic neon signage outside, the intriguing shape of the corner dining space….&lt;/p&gt;
  5663.  
  5664.  
  5665.  
  5666. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So much to commend &amp;amp; treasure. I will miss you Leroy and I will not forget you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5667.  
  5668.  
  5669.  
  5670. &lt;p&gt;Leroy was praised for its simple, French-inspired dishes that could be paired with any number of wines from their eclectic list.&lt;/p&gt;
  5671.  
  5672.  
  5673.  
  5674. &lt;p&gt;It was known as one of the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  5675.  
  5676.  
  5677.  
  5678. &lt;p&gt;But, it sadly lost its star in February earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  5679.  
  5680.  
  5681.  
  5682. &lt;p&gt;The sudden closure highlights the ongoing struggles faced by the UK hospitality sector, which has been hit hard by soaring costs and dwindling support.&lt;/p&gt;
  5683.  
  5684.  
  5685.  
  5686. &lt;p&gt;This comes as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31832519/top-chef-close-michelin-restaurant-overnight/&quot;&gt;another top chef was forced to shut his Michelin-starred restaurant overnight&lt;/a&gt;, claiming the decision was completely out of his hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  5687.  
  5688.  
  5689.  
  5690. &lt;p&gt;The eatery shut over the weekend after the landlord &amp;#8220;made the decision to close&amp;#8221; the doors.&lt;/p&gt;
  5691.  
  5692.  
  5693.  
  5694. &lt;p&gt;The Collective, in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/leeds/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt;, was celebrated for its modern take on British cuisine and had garnered a loyal following since opening.&lt;/p&gt;
  5695.  
  5696.  
  5697.  
  5698. &lt;p&gt;In a heartfelt statement, the team revealed they had been working on plans to relaunch in January but were blindsided by the closure.&lt;/p&gt;
  5699.  
  5700.  
  5701.  
  5702. &lt;p&gt;They said: &amp;#8220;It is with a heavy heart that we share this update with you.&lt;/p&gt;
  5703.  
  5704.  
  5705.  
  5706. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After long negotiations, the landlord made the decision to close our doors overnight.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5707.  
  5708.  
  5709.  
  5710. &lt;p&gt;Rogan and his team had intended to honour bookings through the end of the year but said the decision was “completely out of our hands.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5711.  
  5712.  
  5713.  
  5714. &lt;p&gt;The statement added: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve worked tirelessly to keep our vision alive, exploring every possible option to move forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  5715.  
  5716.  
  5717.  
  5718. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;However, the recent budget and ongoing economic challenges have made it clear that continuing to trade in our current location is no longer feasible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5719.  
  5720.  
  5721.  
  5722. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, a chef who worked at one of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31779492/chef-worked-for-jamie-oliver-suddenly-closes-restaurant/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Jamie Oliver&amp;#8217;s restaurants has announced he will shutter his food spot&lt;/a&gt;, leaving diners devastated.&lt;/p&gt;
  5723.  
  5724.  
  5725.  
  5726. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, former&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/masterchef/&quot;&gt;Masterchef&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;finalist Tony Rodd was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30523697/top-tv-chefs-restaurants-closed-down-marco-pierre-white/&quot;&gt;forced to close his restaurant&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Blackheath whilst Michel Roux Jr closed the doors on his iconic restaurant Gavroche in January after 56 years in business.&lt;/p&gt;
  5727.  
  5728.  
  5729.  
  5730. &lt;p&gt;Experts say the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot;&gt;cost of living&lt;/a&gt; crisis has left customers favouring a cheap dinner over splashing out on fancy evenings out in expensive restaurants, and this has made celeb chefs think twice about whether it&amp;#8217;s worth continuing to run their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  5783.  
  5784.  
  5785.  
  5786.  
  5787.  
  5788.  
  5789.  
  5790. &lt;p&gt;HEFTY pay rises for public sector workers pushed the Government’s debt bill up £4.1billion more than expected.&lt;/p&gt;
  5791.  
  5792.  
  5793.  
  5794. &lt;p&gt;Borrowing last month his £17.4billion &amp;#8211; the second highest October since records began in 1993 and far beyond the £13.3billion forecast by economists.&lt;/p&gt;
  5795.  
  5796.  
  5797.  
  5798. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868125&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/2024/11/f33ba5d4-2923-40c7-ad00-9a7793f43999.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man in a suit and tie has the word volvo on his jacket&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868125&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride said of the debt hike: &amp;#8216;They are a direct result of Labour’s decision to hand out inflation busting pay rises&amp;#8217;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5799.  
  5800.  
  5801.  
  5802. &lt;p&gt;Chancellor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves&lt;/a&gt; was last night criticised for handing bumper salary boosts to striking union members like junior doctors and train drivers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5803.  
  5804.  
  5805.  
  5806. &lt;p&gt;Shadow Chancellor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mel-stride/&quot;&gt;Mel Stride&lt;/a&gt; said: “They are a direct result of Labour’s decision to hand out &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt; busting pay rises to their union paymasters without any reforms in return.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5807.  
  5808.  
  5809.  
  5810. &lt;p&gt;Interest payments on debt also shot up to £9.1billion last month in the worst October since monthly figures began in 1997.&lt;/p&gt;
  5811.  
  5812.  
  5813.  
  5814. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/downing-street/&quot;&gt;Downing Street&lt;/a&gt; said they expected borrowing to rise as they set about plugging a £22billion “black hole” in the public finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  5815.  
  5816.  
  5817.  
  5818. &lt;p&gt;The Chancellor claimed to have found a series of financial timebombs left by the Tories that she claimed forced her to make tough choices on spending. &lt;/p&gt;
  5819.  
  5820.  
  5821.  
  5822. &lt;p&gt;In a controversial move Ms Reeves also axed &lt;span id=&quot;c8c757d3-761f-4925-8b0a-ac566545e58f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/span&gt; fuel payments from OAPs who do not receive &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pension-credit/&quot;&gt;pension credit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5823.  
  5824.  
  5825.  
  5826. &lt;p&gt;But Ms Reeves did announce inflation-busting pay rises of 5.5 per cent for public sector workers such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teachers/&quot;&gt;teachers&lt;/a&gt;, soldiers, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; officers and civil servants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5827.  
  5828.  
  5829.  
  5830. &lt;p&gt;And junior doctors are in line for a monster 22 per cent wage hike over two years in a bid to end their persistent strike action that is crippling hospitals. &lt;/p&gt;
  5831.  
  5832.  
  5833.  
  5834. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868093&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/2024/11/2024-london-united-kingdom-junior-920662166.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a woman holding a sign that says pay restoration for doctors&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868093&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;Hefty pay rises for public sector workers pushed the Government’s debt bill up £4.1billion more than expected[/caption]</content:encoded>

  5876. &lt;p&gt;WITH freezing temperatures sweeping across the UK, getting your clothes dry might feel like mission impossible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5877.  
  5878.  
  5879.  
  5880. &lt;p&gt;Even if you manage it, you may find that your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31783681/free-hack-dry-laundry-quickly-no-tumble-dryer-radiator/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;clothes start to develop a musty smell. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5881.  
  5882.  
  5883.  
  5884. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31868229&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 586px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/31fa6a62-c3b7-4df6-8da7-9743958faee0.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;a woman wearing glasses says tips for drying your clothes and keeping them smelling fresh&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31868229&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;518&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Caroline has never been a fan of tumble dryers but has had to learn a few techniques on getting her clothes dry during the winter&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;carolineonline21&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  5885.  
  5886.  
  5887.  
  5888. &lt;p&gt;However, one savvy cleaning enthusiast, who doesn’t own a tumble dryer, has discovered the perfect trick for drying your clothes this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/winter/&quot;&gt;winter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5889.  
  5890.  
  5891.  
  5892. &lt;p&gt;Caroline, who is known as&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@carolineonline21/video/7412328705286049056?_r=1&amp;amp;_t=8rWdmcqne4H&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; ‘carolineonline21’  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; ‘carolineonline21’ &lt;/a&gt;on TikTok, has revealed her “tips for drying your clothes in winter if you don’t have a dryer.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5893.  
  5894.  
  5895.  
  5896. &lt;p&gt;Talking to camera, the mum explained how she discovered an essential two-step method to get clothes dry inside and how to prevent condensation too. &lt;/p&gt;
  5897.  
  5898.  
  5899.  
  5900. &lt;p&gt;First off, she explained that she uses three different products when cleaning clothes to avoid the musty smell.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5901.  
  5902.  
  5903.  
  5904. &lt;p&gt;These include the Unstoppable Lenore scent booster, currently available at a discounted price of £5 from Ocado; Surf tropical three-in-one tablets, costing £1.29 from Waitrose; and her final secret, the Ecover fabric softener in the five-litre container.&lt;/p&gt;
  5905.  
  5906.  
  5907.  
  5908. &lt;p&gt;She says: “This is my combination for making my clothes smell &lt;span id=&quot;1ca343f0-4cd8-42e9-a602-1f3060181680&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; and not have that horrible musty smell you get from drying clothes indoors.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5909.  
  5910.  
  5911.  
  5912. &lt;p&gt;Caroline then explains how to help get clothes dry indoors during the colder months.&lt;/p&gt;
  5913.  
  5914.  
  5915.  
  5916. &lt;p&gt;She says: “If, like me, you dry your clothes inside and you want them to smell nice, my tip is to do small loads on a regular basis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  5917.  
  5918.  
  5919.  
  5920. &lt;p&gt;“Try to take advantage of the few dry days we have in the UK to dry your clothes outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  5921.  
  5922.  
  5923.  
  5924. &lt;p&gt;“If you dry your clothes indoors, make sure you find a room where you can put all your clothes and keep the windows open for as long as you can throughout the day to get rid of the condensation.&lt;/p&gt;

  5980. &lt;p&gt;To which Caroline replied: “The scent of it is quite strong but it’s very pleasant to me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5981.  
  5982.  
  5983.  
  5984. &lt;p&gt;Another added: “True winter is a mess.&lt;/p&gt;
  5985.  
  5986.  
  5987.  
  5988. &lt;p&gt;“I have clothes on heaters, doors, chairs nearly everywhere because I have boys so there are clothes to wash every day.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5989.  
  5990.  
  5991.  
  5992. &lt;p&gt;And a third simply said: “Very useful information. Thank you so much.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5993.  
  5994.  
  5995.  
  5996. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  5998. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;How to dry wet washing inside, in winter &lt;/h3&gt;
  5999. &lt;/div&gt;
  6000. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  6003. &lt;div&gt;
  6004. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drying rack or airer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6005. &lt;p&gt;Load up your airer with wet washing and place near a heat source &amp;#8211; like a radiator or direct sunlight &amp;#8211; to help distribute air around your clothes. &lt;/p&gt;
  6006. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dehumidifier&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6007. &lt;p&gt;Plug in a dehumidifier in a room with clothes hanging to dry quickly and prevent dampness and mould. Many now have a laundry setting. &lt;/p&gt;
  6008. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tumble dryer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6009. &lt;p&gt;A tumble dryer can heat moisture out of wet washing, saving time and can be used in any weather. &lt;/p&gt;
  6010. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heated airer &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6011. &lt;p&gt;Many brands and shops now sell heated airers for as little as £30. The racks heat through electricity and can speed up drying time. &lt;/p&gt;
  6012. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open a window &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6013. &lt;p&gt;Choose a spare room or unused room for keeping your washing and crack open a window, but close the door behind you. &lt;/p&gt;
  6014. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using curtain poles &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  6015. &lt;p&gt;Hang wet washing on radiators then hook them onto curtain poles with radiators below. The heat will rise and dry the items. Alternatively, if you have a shower curtain pole, hang your clothes in the bathroom with a window open. &lt;/p&gt;
  6016. &lt;/div&gt;
  6017. &lt;/div&gt;

  6070. &lt;p&gt;SIR Keir Starmer faces fury after backing a war crimes arrest warrant for the Israeli PM.&lt;/p&gt;
  6071.  
  6072.

  6086. &lt;p&gt;He faces arrest if he travels to any country party to the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction, including the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  6087.  
  6088.  
  6089.  
  6090. &lt;p&gt;Following the issue the warrant yesterday, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/downing-street/&quot;&gt;Downing Street&lt;/a&gt; said PM Sir Keir “respects the independence of the ICC”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6091.  
  6092.  
  6093.  
  6094. &lt;p&gt;No10 said it will now be up to domestic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;courts&lt;/a&gt; to make a final determination on whether Britain endorses the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  6095.  
  6096.  
  6097.  
  6098. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman also refused to say whether Mr Netanyahu would be welcome in Britain and would not clarify whether he would be arrested if he travelled here tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  6099.  
  6100.  
  6101.  
  6102. &lt;p&gt;But Shadow Justice Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/robert-jenrick/&quot;&gt;Robert Jenrick&lt;/a&gt; said: “The UK shouldn’t enforce this farcical warrant from a politicised &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt;. Starmer is a disgrace.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6103.  
  6104.  
  6105.  
  6106. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Shadow Foreign Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/priti-patel/&quot;&gt;Priti Patel&lt;/a&gt; added: “Labour must condemn and challenge the ICC’s decision.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6107.  
  6108.  
  6109.  
  6110. &lt;p&gt;And ex-Home Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/suella-braverman/&quot;&gt;Suella Braverman&lt;/a&gt; said: “The ICC has lost credibility. They’ve made a mockery of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; and undermined the international rules-based system.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6111.  
  6112.  
  6113.  
  6114. &lt;p&gt;The UK is a signatory of the ICC, based in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netherlands/&quot;&gt;Netherlands&lt;/a&gt;, and Attorney General Richard Hermer has repeatedly vowed to respect its rulings.&lt;/p&gt;
  6115.  
  6116.  
  6117.  
  6118. &lt;p&gt;The court also issued arrest warrants against former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and presumed-dead Hamas chief &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mohammed-deif/&quot;&gt;Mohammed Deif&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6119.  
  6120.  
  6121.  
  6122. &lt;p&gt;Its judges said there were “reasonable grounds” the men bore criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.&lt;/p&gt;

  6200.

  6203. &lt;p&gt;The Chinese amateur cueist booked his place in the last 32 – he faces No.9 seed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31257654/shaun-murphy-snooker-northern-ireland-open-noppon-saengkham/&quot;&gt;Shaun Murphy&lt;/a&gt; on Saturday  – after beating Ricky Walden 6-2 in qualifying in Leicester.&lt;/p&gt;

  6215. &lt;p&gt;If he wins &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31780989/uk-championship-snooker-2024-full-schedule-results/&quot;&gt;the Triple Crown title&lt;/a&gt;, he will rocket up the one-year world ranking list and the top four at the end of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/snooker/&quot;&gt;the season&lt;/a&gt; are guaranteed a professional place for the 2025-26 campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
  6216.  
  6217.  
  6218.  
  6219. &lt;p&gt;He is also in line for the £15k high break bonus as he knocked in a 146 in his first qualifier last weekend – unless someone celebrates a 147 maximum.&lt;/p&gt;
  6220.  
  6221.  
  6222.  
  6223. &lt;p&gt;Xintong – winner of the UK title in 2021 – was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31822980/zhao-xintong-snooker-uk-championship-one-win/&quot;&gt;one of ten Chinese players charged and banned&lt;/a&gt; for breaching match-fixing rules in June 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  6224.  
  6225.  
  6226.  
  6227. &lt;p&gt;He was given a 20-month suspension, which ended in September, though he did NOT fix a match himself.&lt;/p&gt;
  6228.  
  6229.  
  6230.  
  6231. &lt;p&gt;Xintong, 27, called his offence a &amp;#8220;little mistake&amp;#8221; and added: “I missed this because I didn’t play here for two years. &lt;/p&gt;
  6232.  
  6233.

  6450. &lt;p&gt;The iconic bells on the single were knocked out on songwriter Midge Ure’s Casio keyboard, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/boy-george/&quot;&gt;Boy George&lt;/a&gt; was scrambled to the ­studio from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-york/&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; by Concorde when he initially didn’t show up, and Duran Duran got locked in the studio toilet.&lt;/p&gt;
  6451.  
  6452.  
  6453.  
  6454. &lt;p&gt;The incredible tales of the making of the hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt; single are told in an interview with Robin Eggar — one of only two music ­journ­alists allowed in the room for the ­famous studio session by the organisers, Ultravox frontman Midge and Boomtown Rats singer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bob-geldof/&quot;&gt;Bob Geldof&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6455.  
  6456.  
  6457.  
  6458. &lt;p&gt;Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Robin said: “It was a remarkable day, given the number of stars.&lt;/p&gt;
  6459.  
  6460.  
  6461.  
  6462. &lt;p&gt;“There were some hilarious moments and it was incredible to see all these artists in one cramped, slight­ly worn studio together.&lt;/p&gt;
  6463.  
  6464.  
  6465.  
  6466. &lt;p&gt;“Bob Geldof corralled and bullied all these artists like Duran Duran, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-michael/&quot;&gt;George Michael&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/u2/&quot;&gt;U2&lt;/a&gt;, who had been competing against each other in the charts and slagging each other off publicly, into one place on a quiet Sunday in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; in November.&lt;/p&gt;
  6467.  
  6468.  
  6469.  
  6470. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Good time&lt;/h2&gt;
  6471.  
  6472.  
  6473.  
  6474. &lt;p&gt;“It may never have been the same if it hadn’t been for Concorde. Bob called Boy George and ordered him to fly in from New York on the day.&lt;/p&gt;
  6475.  
  6476.  
  6477.  
  6478. &lt;p&gt;“Despite all the egos, everyone got on well but there was no catering — people were told to go out and get their own sandwiches and I had to go back to my place to get six bottles of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt;, which disappeared in ten minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6479.  
  6480.  
  6481.  
  6482. &lt;p&gt;“Status Quo kept disappearing off to the toilets with others and coming back ‘refreshed’.&lt;/p&gt;
  6483.  
  6484.  
  6485.  
  6486. &lt;p&gt;“Despite his day starting at 8am, Midge had to kick most people out at midnight because everyone was having such a good time.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6487.  
  6488.  
  6489.  
  6490. &lt;p&gt;On Monday, it will be four decades since around 40 of Britain’s ­finest pop stars assembled in Sarm Studios, West London, to lay down the hastily created song, which went on to become the biggest-selling charity record in UK &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/history/&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6514. &lt;p&gt;The single was inspired by a haunting 1984 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;News&lt;/a&gt; report from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ethiopia/&quot;&gt;Ethiopia&lt;/a&gt;, where famine had ravaged the country and led to 1.2million deaths between 1983 and 1985 alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  6515.

  6517.  
  6518. &lt;p&gt;After watching the images of ­starving children on the dispatch, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bob-geldof/&quot;&gt;Bob Geldof&lt;/a&gt; called his friend Midge to tell him: “We must make a record.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6519.  
  6520.  
  6521.  
  6522. &lt;p&gt;Robin, a music reporter who had interviewed some of the day’s biggest stars, said: “Bob went on a mission to raise &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;. He bullied and corralled anyone he could in music and did it all in a few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  6523.  
  6524.  
  6525.  
  6526. &lt;p&gt;“Bob’s career was a bit on the floor. His partner, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/paula-yates/&quot;&gt;Paula Yates&lt;/a&gt;, was much more famous as she was ­presenting The Tube on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  6527.  
  6528.  
  6529.  
  6530. &lt;p&gt;“But he had everyone’s phone ­numbers and wouldn’t stop &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bullying/&quot;&gt;bullying&lt;/a&gt; them to show up.&lt;/p&gt;
  6531.  
  6532.  
  6533.  
  6534. &lt;p&gt;“The person who gets forgotten a little bit in this is Midge. He was a much bigger star than Bob.&lt;/p&gt;

  6543.  
  6544.  
  6545.  
  6546. &lt;p&gt;“Once Bob had the confidence that Midge was on board, he then started pushing people. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sting/&quot;&gt;Sting&lt;/a&gt; was an easy hit, because he was very keen on all sorts of environmental issues.&lt;/p&gt;
  6547.  
  6548.  
  6549.  
  6550. &lt;p&gt;“Bob bumped into Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran leaving the Picasso club on the King’s Road just after he spotted Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet through an art gallery window.&lt;/p&gt;
  6551.  
  6552.  
  6553.  
  6554. &lt;p&gt;“U2 were there because they were both Irish and it was just easier to do what Bob said as he would never have let them hear the end of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  6555.  
  6556.  
  6557.  
  6558. &lt;p&gt;“Bob would tell them that others were confirmed, even if they weren’t, so they felt they had to come.&lt;/p&gt;
  6559.  
  6560.  
  6561.  
  6562. &lt;p&gt;“They initially said, ‘We’re aiming to get a Christmas No1 with the ­single and make a few hundred thousand quid’ but the reality is the song has made around £80million.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6563.  
  6564.  
  6565.  
  6566. &lt;p&gt;Midge wrote the music while Bob penned the lyrics ahead of the November 25 recording. But when they arrived at 8am, no one else was there bar the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/film/&quot;&gt;film&lt;/a&gt; crew outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  6567.  
  6568.  
  6569.  
  6570. &lt;p&gt;Robin, who arrived before most of the stars, said: “I knew a lot of the bands and I was living a gentle walk away.&lt;/p&gt;
  6571.  
  6572.  
  6573.  
  6574. &lt;p&gt;“Paul Young arrived first, Sting then came in carrying the Sunday papers, then &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bono/&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; and Adam Clayton from U2 arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  6575.  
  6576.  
  6577.  
  6578. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Paul Weller turned up and was very nervous. Bananarama pitched up in a battered cab.&lt;/p&gt;

  6587.  
  6588.  
  6589.  
  6590. &lt;p&gt;“Duran, Duran and Spandau Ballet came in around 10am. They’d been at a TV show in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196710/germany/&quot;&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt; the night before, so they’d all flown in together, and they’d had a drinking competition the night before so were looking a little worse for wear.&lt;/p&gt;
  6591.  
  6592.  
  6593.  
  6594. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was no security, no managers, no publicists.&lt;/p&gt;
  6595.  
  6596.  
  6597.  
  6598. &lt;p&gt;“There was a bit of ‘not wanting to sit at the front of class’ about who sang first. In the end, Spandau’s Tony Hadley eventually volunteered.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6599.  
  6600.  
  6601.  
  6602. &lt;p&gt;At 11am, Culture Club arrived and Bob realised someone was missing — Boy George.&lt;/p&gt;
  6603.  
  6604.  
  6605.  
  6606. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “Bob called him up in his hotel room at 6am in New York. A groggy George was telling him he was going to struggle to make it and Bob just cut in and said, ­‘Everyone’s here except you.&lt;/p&gt;
  6607.  
  6608.  
  6609.  
  6610. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘Boy George was spicy’&lt;/h2&gt;
  6611.  
  6612.  
  6613.  
  6614. &lt;p&gt;There’s a Concorde to London at 9.30am, get on it’. He arrived mid-afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;
  6615.  
  6616.  
  6617.  
  6618. &lt;p&gt;“When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/boy-george/&quot;&gt;George&lt;/a&gt; waltzed in, he said, ‘Could somebody get me some brandy?’. When Bob said he’d have to do his lines first, George was very spicy. Bob jokingly said, ‘Oh, get on with it, you f***ing old queen’.&lt;/p&gt;
  6619.  
  6620.  
  6621.  
  6622. &lt;p&gt;“George responded, ‘Shut up, you Irish tart’. George sang his line — one take — then swanned off into the ­studio to basically spread chaos. He gave everyone a boost.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6623.  
  6624.  
  6625.  
  6626. &lt;p&gt;To keep everyone occupied, photographer Brian Aris got the group to all sing the famous “Feed the World” chorus as he snapped away. Status Quo’s Francis Rossi had them in stitches by saying, “Why is everyone singing ‘Feed the Welsh’?”&lt;/p&gt;
  6627.  
  6628.  
  6629.  
  6630. &lt;p&gt;Robin recalled Quo guitarist &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rick-parfitt/&quot;&gt;Rick Parfitt&lt;/a&gt; also struggled with some of their trademark harmonies — finally leaving Rossi to do their lines alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  6631.  
  6632.  
  6633.  
  6634. &lt;p&gt;The two songwriters made changes to the song as they went along.&lt;/p&gt;
  6635.  
  6636.  
  6637.  
  6638. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “Bob ribbed Midge Ure about the middle section, which he did on his Casio keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;

  6656.  
  6657.  
  6658.  
  6659. &lt;p&gt;“They also realised the line, ‘And there won’t be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/snow/&quot;&gt;snow&lt;/a&gt; in Ethiopia this Christmas’ wouldn’t fit, so changed Ethiopia for Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
  6660.  
  6661.  
  6662.  
  6663. &lt;p&gt;“I also remember Paul Young was trying to sing his lines and Bob was cutting in from behind the desk and telling him what to sing, but Bob was completely out of tune.&lt;/p&gt;
  6664.  
  6665.  
  6666.  
  6667. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Paul looked confused. Midge cut in and shouted, ‘You’re out of tune Bob, let them do their business’.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6668.  
  6669.  
  6670.  
  6671. &lt;p&gt;Robin said Bono wowed with a single take of his iconic “Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you” line, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/phil-collins/&quot;&gt;Phil Collins&lt;/a&gt; waited seven hours without moaning to record the drums on the track.&lt;/p&gt;
  6672.  
  6673.  
  6674.  
  6675. &lt;p&gt;There was very little refreshment to hand, with Bob saying, “If you want it, go out to get it yourself”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6676.  
  6677.  
  6678.

  6682.  
  6683. &lt;p&gt;Robin, who appears in the song’s video next to Simon Le Bon after the camera crew thought he was a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pop-music/&quot;&gt;pop star&lt;/a&gt;, added: “The studio rustled up some curry and chips. If you wanted a sandwich or drink, you went to get it from the corner shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  6684.  
  6685.  
  6686.  
  6687. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There were lots of day-old sandwiches being eaten.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6688.  
  6689.  
  6690.  
  6691. &lt;p&gt;While the singers were called up in order of chart success, some started to feel in need of a drink.&lt;/p&gt;
  6692.  
  6693.  
  6694.  
  6695. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “I had a flat nearby. Adam Clayton and I went back and got six bottles of wine I had lying around. That lasted about ten ­minutes in the studio. Others went to the off-licence when it opened.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6696.

Robin added: “There was a lot of cocaine in the industry then, and Status Quo were very popular, and they’d keep vanishing into the toilets, and everyone came out looking very refreshed.&lt;/p&gt;
  6700.  
  6701.

  6704.  
  6705.  
  6706.  
  6707. &lt;p&gt;“At one point they even locked Duran Duran in the toilets. But it was a real collegiate atmosphere. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-michael/&quot;&gt;George Michael&lt;/a&gt; said to me, ‘What was needed was for everyone to get together.

  6721.  
  6722.  
  6723.  
  6724. &lt;p&gt;“By the end, there were some great scenes. Weller was having a conversation with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jon-moss/&quot;&gt;Jon Moss&lt;/a&gt;, from Culture Club, and the singer ­Marilyn, about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/margaret-thatcher/&quot;&gt;Margaret Thatcher&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6725.  
  6726.  
  6727.  
  6728. &lt;p&gt;Francis Rossi said in 2019 of the original recording session: “I hadn’t expected how much many of us had in common when it came to cocaine. Soon our corner of the ­studio became the go-to hangout for quite a few others.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6729.  
  6730.  
  6731.  
  6732. &lt;p&gt;Midge and Bob stayed until 8am producing the record. It was ­immediately sent for pressing and was on the shelves within days.&lt;/p&gt;
  6733.  
  6734.  
  6735.  
  6736. &lt;p&gt;It flew straight to No1, staying there for five weeks over Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;
  6737.  
  6738.  
  6739.  
  6740. &lt;p&gt;The success even inspired the Live Aid concert in July 1985, a remake of the song 20 years on, which this paper backed, and a ­further update in 2014. A new ­version, including voices from the 1984, 2004 and 2014 releases, is in the making to mark the 40th anniversary.&lt;/p&gt;
  6741.  
  6742.  
  6743.  
  6744. &lt;p&gt;Robin, who went on to write biographies of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tom-jones/&quot;&gt;Tom Jones&lt;/a&gt; and ­Shania Twain and run his own communications firm, said: “It remains one of the things I’m proudest of — just being in the room.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6745.  
  6746.  
  6747.  
  6748. &lt;p&gt;This week, Bob was forced to defend Band Aid 40 after London-born Ghanaian rapper Fuse ODG said the record fuelled “pity rather than partnership”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6749.  
  6750.  
  6751.  
  6752. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ed-sheeran/&quot;&gt;Ed Sheeran&lt;/a&gt;, who sang on the 2014 release, also said he would have “respectfully declined” the re-use of his vocals on the new song, had he been consulted.&lt;/p&gt;
  6753.  
  6754.  
  6755.  
  6756. &lt;p&gt;Robin said: “Ed’s views are ­perfectly reasonable. He should have been asked.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6757.  
  6758.  
  6759.  
  6760. &lt;p&gt;He added: “However, the original Band Aid was a bunch of very ­successful pop stars who were appalled by what was happening in Ethiopia and wanted to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  6761.  
  6762.

  6792. &lt;p&gt;A COCAINE fiend slaughtered a young mum by stabbing her 45 times in a bloodbath rampage in her own home after she spurned him, a court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  6793.  
  6794.  
  6795.  
  6796. &lt;p&gt;The High Court in Edinburgh heard cocaine abuser Michael Porchetta knifed Aimee Cannon at least 45 times in the neck, chest, stomach and also subjected her to ‘multiple clean cut wounds’ on her scalp and defensive cuts to her hands.&lt;/p&gt;

  6813.  
  6814.  
  6815.  
  6816. &lt;p&gt;The 28-year-old allegedly left his blood-soaked victim lying on the floor of her home in West Calder, West Lothian with her head resting on her childrens’ toys.&lt;/p&gt;
  6817.  
  6818.  
  6819.  
  6820. &lt;p&gt;The court was shown a graphic video of beautician Aimee’s body in the flat which caused gasps and tears from family and friends in the public gallery.&lt;/p&gt;
  6821.  
  6822.  
  6823.  
  6824. &lt;p&gt;A tattoo on her body reading ‘One life one chance’ was visible during the harrowing walk through the blood-splattered home after her death in May 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  6825.  
  6826.  
  6827.  
  6828. &lt;p&gt;Aimee, 26, was discovered by her dad Vince when he came to her home the next day and the alarm was raised.&lt;/p&gt;
  6829.  
  6830.  
  6831.  
  6832. &lt;p&gt;Porchetta, who lived nearby, then spent three days denying he had anything to do with the death before his sister, who found blood on his jeans, told him to go to the police, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  6833.  
  6834.  
  6835.  
  6836. &lt;p&gt;Porchetta was charged with murdering mum-of-two Aimee by punching her and stabbing her “on the head and body with a knife or knives”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6837.  
  6838.  
  6839.  
  6840. &lt;p&gt;He is further accused of stealing Aimee’s phone, keys and underwear and attempting to pervert the course of justice by disposing of the blade and washing her blood from his trainers.&lt;/p&gt;
  6841.  
  6842.  
  6843.  
  6844. &lt;p&gt;But Porchetta was deemed unfit to stand trial and instead faced an examination of facts hearing this week before judge Lord Mulholland.&lt;/p&gt;
  6845.  
  6846.  
  6847.  
  6848. &lt;p&gt;Agreed evidence between the prosecution and defence was read by advocate depute John McElroy KC.&lt;/p&gt;
  6849.  
  6850.  
  6851.  
  6852. &lt;p&gt;He said: “The post mortem concluded the deceased died of multiple sharp force injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

  6874.  
  6875.  
  6876. &lt;p&gt;“She had at least 45 stab wounds and multiple clean cut wounds on her scalp and both hands.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6877.  
  6878.  
  6879.  
  6880. &lt;p&gt;A video taken by scenes of crime officers caused one woman to flee the public gallery while others wept. Porchetta stared at the ground and did not look at the footage.&lt;/p&gt;
  6881.  
  6882.  
  6883.  
  6884. &lt;p&gt;Forensic scientist Laura Wilcock told the court: “The deceased’s body was found with her head lying on children’s toys.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6885.  
  6886.  
  6887.  
  6888. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Porchetta stayed with his uncle Robert Nicoll, 59, and sister Gabriella, 29, after their parents passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  6889.  
  6890.  
  6891.  
  6892. &lt;p&gt;He told the court his nephew returned home at 7am on Saturday May 7.&lt;/p&gt;
  6893.  
  6894.  
  6895.  
  6896. &lt;p&gt;He said: “I asked him how his night was. He said ‘aye it was alright’ and he went upstairs.&lt;/p&gt;
  6897.  
  6898.  
  6899.  
  6900. &lt;p&gt;“He changed his clothes and went out to work.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6901.  
  6902.  
  6903.  
  6904. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Porchetta returned home around 5pm and ate his dinner before a female arrived and went up to his room.&lt;/p&gt;
  6905.  
  6906.  
  6907.  
  6908. &lt;p&gt;On Sunday afternoon, he went out to see Mr Nicoll while he was gardening.&lt;/p&gt;
  6909.  
  6910.  
  6911.  
  6912. &lt;p&gt;The witness said in evidence: “Michael came out to see me, he seemed upset.&lt;/p&gt;
  6913.  
  6914.  
  6915.  
  6916. &lt;p&gt;“He said to me ‘the lassie’s been murdered up the street. My pals told me.’&lt;/p&gt;
  6917.  
  6918.  
  6919.  
  6920. &lt;p&gt;“Michael said he had been up at her house on Friday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  6921.  
  6922.  
  6923.  
  6924. &lt;p&gt;“He always went there. He said he had been taking drugs. Then he said his pals had called him and told him Aimee had been stabbed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6925.  
  6926.  
  6927.  
  6928. &lt;p&gt;Sister Garbriella, 29, a deputy charge nurse, told the court she smelled what she thought was blood on Porchetta’s jeans on the Saturday when she went to get them for the wash.&lt;/p&gt;
  6929.  
  6930.  
  6931.  
  6932. &lt;p&gt;She said: “I asked Michael where it came from and he said he had cut his thumb after catching it on a barbed wire fence.&lt;/p&gt;
  6933.  
  6934.  
  6935.  
  6936. &lt;p&gt;“He also said he had been to Aimee’s home on Friday night but left around midnight.&lt;/p&gt;
  6937.  
  6938.  
  6939.  
  6940. &lt;p&gt;“He denied doing anything to Aimee.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6941.  
  6942.  
  6943.  
  6944. &lt;p&gt;Gabriella added that the family were worried about his abuse of cocaine.&lt;/p&gt;
  6945.  
  6946.  
  6947.  
  6948. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Michael said he had to stop as it was f***ing him up in the head.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6949.  
  6950.  
  6951.  
  6952. &lt;p&gt;Uncle Robert Nicoll told defence KC Gary Allan: “He was always asking me for money.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6953.  
  6954.  
  6955.  
  6956. &lt;p&gt;Mr Allan said: “Did you learn that he was taking cocaine regularly?”&lt;/p&gt;
  6957.  
  6958.  
  6959.  
  6960. &lt;p&gt;The witness said: “Yes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6961.  
  6962.  
  6963.  
  6964. &lt;p&gt;The lawyer asked: “Did it become a concern in the family?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6965.  
  6966.  
  6967.  
  6968. &lt;p&gt;The witness replied: “Yes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6969.  
  6970.  
  6971.  
  6972. &lt;p&gt;The hearing heard this week how Porchetta again told his sister that he had left Aimee ‘safe and well’.&lt;/p&gt;
  6973.  
  6974.  
  6975.  
  6976. &lt;p&gt;But she called the police and told him he had to speak to them.&lt;/p&gt;
  6977.  
  6978.  
  6979.  
  6980. &lt;p&gt;Further witnesses described to the court Porchetta ‘trying it on’ with Aimee but her rebuffing him and saying he’s ‘just my wee pal.’&lt;/p&gt;
  6981.  
  6982.  
  6983.  
  6984. &lt;p&gt;Alistair Wilson, 28, said: “Aimee told me once that Michael had come on to her but she told him they were just pals.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6985.  
  6986.  
  6987.  
  6988. &lt;p&gt;Robert Aitken, 30, added: “Mikey tried it on with her two months before her death.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6989.  
  6990.  
  6991.  
  6992. &lt;p&gt;A third witness, John Honeyman, 33, said Aimee had contacted him to try to get Porchetta to leave her house in the months before the killing.&lt;/p&gt;
  6993.  
  6994.  
  6995.  
  6996. &lt;p&gt;He said: “She seemed anxious, alarmed and upset. Panicking.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6997.  
  6998.  
  6999.

  7066. &lt;p&gt;A source said the intensifying chemistry between reality star Pete, 36, and Polish pro dancer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jowita-przystal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jowita&lt;/a&gt;, 30, is &lt;span id=&quot;ec354074-5b27-4f56-b5bb-ef2eee337b4c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the talk&lt;/span&gt; of the show backstage.&lt;/p&gt;
  7067.  
  7068.  
  7069.  
  7070. &lt;p&gt;They told The Sun: “The chemistry between them has been pretty clear since the moment they met. &lt;/p&gt;
  7071.  
  7072.  
  7073.  
  7074. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But the last few weeks something has changed and they’ve started seeing each other away from the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  7075.  
  7076.  
  7077.  
  7078. &lt;p&gt;“They’ve tried to keep it low-key but they often travel together rather than getting separate &lt;span id=&quot;33d250bb-e805-447c-9470-f7a38768df79&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;cars&lt;/span&gt; to different locations. &lt;/p&gt;
  7079.  
  7080.  
  7081.  
  7082. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And they’re so tactile backstage — it has become pretty obvious something is going on.&lt;/p&gt;
  7083.  
  7084.  
  7085.  
  7086. &lt;p&gt;“Everyone is talking about the fact they seem closer than ever.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7087.  
  7088.  
  7089.  
  7090. &lt;p&gt;Motorbike-loving Pete, who found fame on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-only-way-is-essex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Only Way Is Essex&lt;/a&gt;, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31650784/strictly-pete-wicks-date-maura-higgins-im-a-celeb/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;seen on a date with Maura&lt;/a&gt;, 33, earlier in this year’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Strictly &lt;/a&gt;series.&lt;/p&gt;
  7091.  
  7092.  
  7093.  
  7094. &lt;p&gt;But when the ex-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/love-island/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; star landed in Oz this month, she said: “I date, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31818601/maura-higgins-romance-riddle-single-pete-wicks-dates/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;I’m very much single&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7095.  
  7096.  
  7097.  
  7098. &lt;p&gt;Jowita split from her long-term lover, dancer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/16156809/jowita-przystal-boyfriend-michael-danilczuk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Michael Danilczuk&lt;/a&gt;, in 2022, the same year she won the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; ballroom show with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/hamza-yassin/&quot;&gt;Hamza Yassin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7099.  
  7100.  
  7101.  
  7102. &lt;p&gt;Our source went on: “It might be that Pete was waiting to see what was going to happen with Maura. They’re both single.&lt;/p&gt;

  7205. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/oti-mabuse/&quot;&gt;Oti Mabuse&lt;/a&gt;, for instance, couldn’t wait to tell us she hates “things that move on their stomachs”, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dean-mccullough/&quot;&gt;Dean McCullough&lt;/a&gt; is claustrophobic and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gk-barry/&quot;&gt;GK Barry&lt;/a&gt; cannot stand the thought of being “in a small space with loads of frogs”, like Cafe Rouge in St Paul’s.&lt;/p&gt;
  7206.  
  7207.  
  7208.  
  7209. &lt;p&gt;The one who’s really got his work cut out for the &lt;span id=&quot;89389a9b-5e3c-471b-a683-91f1a80c3961&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; three weeks, though, is McFly’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/danny-jones/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones&lt;/a&gt;, who’s got “a fear of the unknown”. &lt;/p&gt;
  7210.  
  7211.  
  7212.  
  7213. &lt;p&gt;Because the unknowns are front and ­centre, all of the bloody time, in that jungle camp.&lt;/p&gt;
  7214.  
  7215.  
  7216.  
  7217. &lt;p&gt;With the two most unknown and tiresome of the lot being Dean, a third-person-speaking crybaby from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/radio/&quot;&gt;Radio&lt;/a&gt; 1, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gk-barry/&quot;&gt;GK Barry&lt;/a&gt;, who sounds as if she’s a ­famous hairdresser but is neither of those two things and just seems to earn a ­living shouting into cyberspace.&lt;/p&gt;
  7218.  
  7219.  
  7220.  
  7221. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Self-help b******s&lt;/h2&gt;
  7222.  
  7223.  
  7224.  
  7225. &lt;p&gt;Slightly weirdly, there are two others in there who have names I definitely recognise, but bear only a passing resemblance to their former selves — Strictly’s Oti, who’s been carb-loading in the run-up to jungle starvation, and N-Dubz’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tulisa/&quot;&gt;Tulisa&lt;/a&gt;, who as well as being “demi-sexual” is now also bilingual, speaking a fluent form of self-help b******s that allows her to say things like, “I need that soul family &lt;span id=&quot;9e651a91-74c4-4c05-9e4a-89568e5e90eb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/span&gt;,” rather than the more formal: “You’re friend-zoned, Alan.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7226.  
  7227.  
  7228.  
  7229. &lt;p&gt;None of them, though, can erase my sense of disappointment with the line-up on this year’s show which, following Nigel Farage’s relatively boring turn on the 2023 run, banned politicians from the camp, at the exact moment a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/general-election/&quot;&gt;General Election&lt;/a&gt; left dozens of suitable contenders at ITV’s mercy.&lt;/p&gt;
  7230.

  7237. &lt;/div&gt;
  7238. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  7239. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  7241.  
  7242.  
  7243.  
  7244. &lt;p&gt;The most suitable of the lot, clearly, would’ve been Jacob Rees-Mogg, who’d have sent Guardian journalists into a tailspin from the moment he raised a champagne flute in the opening credits and had them biting out their own ­eyeballs if he’d reclined on a camp bed, in his usual To The Manor Born style.&lt;/p&gt;
  7245.  
  7246.  
  7247.  
  7248. &lt;p&gt;Instead, the divisive character it urgently needs will be appearing in the ­relative obscurity of his own Discovery+ reality show, from December onwards, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; has spaffed £1.5million on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/coleen-rooney/&quot;&gt;Coleen Rooney&lt;/a&gt;, despite the fact fellow &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wags/&quot;&gt;Wags&lt;/a&gt; like Carly Zucker, Sheryl Gascoigne and even her nemesis, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rebekah-vardy/&quot;&gt;Rebekah Vardy&lt;/a&gt;, have never been anything other than crippling bores on this show. &lt;/p&gt;
  7249.  
  7250.  
  7251.  
  7252. &lt;p&gt;The network’s still in a state of denial, obviously.&lt;/p&gt;

  7282.  
  7283.  
  7284. &lt;p&gt;And waiting, until one of the other wiser and more rounded campmates digs her out of a hole. &lt;/p&gt;
  7285.  
  7286.  
  7287.  
  7288. &lt;p&gt;It’d be wrong, at this point, if I didn’t mention my friend and colleague &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jane-moore/&quot;&gt;Jane Moore&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7289.  
  7290.  
  7291.  
  7292. &lt;p&gt;“Tough as old boots” she may be, but Jane’s also as compassionate and smart as they come, which is probably just as well as there was a detachment about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/barry-mcguigan/&quot;&gt;Barry McGuigan&lt;/a&gt; evident even before he broke down, on Monday’s show, with the unbearable grief of his daughter ­Danika’s death.&lt;/p&gt;
  7293.  
  7294.  
  7295.  
  7296. &lt;p&gt;Naive as I am, I thought Barry’s anguish was so raw and overwhelming it might force the camp’s worst offenders to dial down the tearful histrionics and ­nauseating displays of egomania that have made the series all but unwatchable.&lt;/p&gt;
  7297.  
  7298.

  7304. &lt;p&gt;Since Monday’s show: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/danny-jones/&quot;&gt;Danny Jones&lt;/a&gt; has been ­sobbing away over a panic attack he once had on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/this-morning/&quot;&gt;This Morning&lt;/a&gt;, Dean’s had a full-on “breakdown” at the Sinister Sarcophagus trial, Melvin Odoom’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/carol-vorderman/&quot;&gt;Carol Vorderman&lt;/a&gt; obsession has reached the seriously creepy stage and GK Barry has spoken about no one other than herself, without ever ­giving any hint as to how she qualified for the “Celebrity” tag in the first place, other than the telling admission: “I watched a lot of Miranda boxed sets to learn how to be funny.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7305.

  7320. &lt;p&gt;THREE hours after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; Two’s Boybands Forever started, king of the pity party &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/robbie-williams/&quot;&gt;Robbie Williams&lt;/a&gt; suddenly declared he was, “in a very happy place”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7321.  
  7322.  
  7323.  
  7324. &lt;p&gt;The name of that happy place being “Gstaad, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/switzerland/&quot;&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt;,” a caption which appeared underneath Robbie at the start of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/documentary/&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/a&gt; and really should’ve been his cue to stop moaning and thank his lucky stars he wasn’t still doing panto in Stoke-on-Trent.&lt;/p&gt;
  7325.  
  7326.  
  7327.  
  7328. &lt;p&gt;Robbie has an infinite capacity to play the victim, though, and a willing audience in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-two/&quot;&gt;BBC Two&lt;/a&gt;, who had cut and pasted the exact same storyline here on to every single boyband who have all been destroyed, they’d have you believe, by a wicked alliance of svengali managers and the tabloid press. Including the terminally stupid ones, like Five, who were given first dibs on Britney’s multi-million-selling Hit Me Baby One More Time but turned it down because it was “f***ing w**k.” &lt;/p&gt;
  7329.  
  7330.  
  7331.  
  7332. &lt;p&gt;A huge shame, as the real story of these groups is far more complex, interesting and funny than the lazy, one-size-fits-all version told by the Beeb, as was hinted at when it concluded, very solemnly, that 911 had gone on to “have a massive hit when they collaborated with Vietnamese superstar Duc Phuc.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7333.  
  7334.  
  7335.  
  7336. &lt;p&gt;Although, like you, I will forever mourn the fact he didn’t collaborate with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gary-barlow/&quot;&gt;Gary Barlow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/howard-donald/&quot;&gt;Howard Donald&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mark-owen/&quot;&gt;Mark Owen&lt;/a&gt; and become Phuc That.&lt;/p&gt;

  7573. &lt;p&gt;WHEN did adverts stop trying to sell us stuff and start telling us how to think?&lt;/p&gt;
  7574.  
  7575.  
  7576.  
  7577. &lt;p&gt;The uproar this week over the rebranding of an iconic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jaguar/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;British car firm&lt;/a&gt; is just the ­latest example of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31843769/jaguar-new-car-advert-re-brand-logo/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;a bid to shove ­“progressive” and “woke” ideology down our throats&lt;/a&gt; — and the British public have had enough.&lt;/p&gt;

  7586.  
  7587.  
  7588.  
  7589. &lt;p&gt;Jaguar, in its infinite wisdom, is relaunching the classic brand for the 21st Century, doing away with the legendary leaping jaguar logo and showcasing a bizarre new advert featuring an array of androgynous characters, dressed in bizarre, brightly coloured ­plastic outfits marching around like a ­miserable box of Quality Street who’ve accidentally wandered on to the set of the Hunger Games.&lt;/p&gt;
  7590.  
  7591.  
  7592.  
  7593. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the advert instructs us to “live vivid”, “delete ordinary”, “break moulds” and “copy nothing”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7594.  
  7595.  
  7596.  
  7597. &lt;p&gt;You’d be hard pressed to know this was a commercial for Jaguar, or indeed any car brand, given that no actual CAR is anywhere to be seen.&lt;/p&gt;
  7598.  
  7599.  
  7600.  
  7601. &lt;p&gt;Even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesla/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tesla&lt;/a&gt; mogul &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/elon-musk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Elon Musk&lt;/a&gt; was moved to ask on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;X/Twitter&lt;/a&gt;: “Do you sell cars?”&lt;/p&gt;
  7602.  
  7603.  
  7604.  
  7605. &lt;p&gt;Frankly, I’ve seen better adverts from the losing team on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-apprentice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Apprentice.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7606.  
  7607.  
  7608.  
  7609. &lt;p&gt;If &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lord-alan-sugar/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lord Sugar&lt;/a&gt; was in charge, the team behind this rebrand (800 of them, I kid you not) would ALL have been fired.&lt;/p&gt;
  7610.  
  7611.  
  7612.  
  7613. &lt;p&gt;And the late &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31844781/john-prescott-northerner-britain-working-class/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;John “Two Jags” Prescott&lt;/a&gt; would have been horrified that his beloved brand had been transformed out of all recognition.&lt;/p&gt;

  7630. &lt;p&gt;So what on Earth is it all about?&lt;/p&gt;
  7631.  
  7632.  
  7633.  
  7634. &lt;p&gt;There’s nothing wrong with Jaguar wanting to rebrand itself for a younger market than the Inspector Morse fans, but who precisely does it think this advert will appeal to?&lt;/p&gt;
  7635.  
  7636.  
  7637.  
  7638. &lt;p&gt;And why do so many major companies (and their PR firms and ad agencies) think that it’s their job to indoctrinate us rather than just, y’know, SELL US STUFF?&lt;/p&gt;

  7661.  
  7662. &lt;p&gt;The answer lies in another big business — the DEI industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  7663.  
  7664.  
  7665.  
  7666. &lt;p&gt;DEI stands for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/26163095/fury-woke-civil-service-diversity-courses-paid/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity,&lt;/a&gt; and this is a sector that has captured the hearts and minds of most of the Western corporate world.&lt;/p&gt;
  7667.  
  7668.  
  7669.  
  7670. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Sneering moral lecture&lt;/h2&gt;
  7671.  
  7672.  
  7673.  
  7674. &lt;p&gt;A whole new breed of business leaders no longer judge themselves by how much money they make but by their virtue- signalling for the latest progressive cause.&lt;/p&gt;
  7675.  
  7676.  
  7677.  
  7678. &lt;p&gt;It’s no surprise, then, that Adrian ­Mardell, CEO of Jaguar’s parent company JLR, is fully signed up to the DEI cause, pushing “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lgbt/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;LGBTQ+ rights&lt;/a&gt;” at every opportunity and beaming at Pride marches and awards ceremonies praising his woke “allyship”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7679.  
  7680.  
  7681.  
  7682. &lt;p&gt;I suspect that Jaguar will be just the latest firm to discover that this tiresome self-righteous finger-wagging comes with a cost, as brands who push this agenda are getting a backlash from customers who tell them: “Go woke, go broke”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7683.  
  7684.  
  7685.  
  7686. &lt;p&gt;Bud Light, once America’s top-selling beer, saw shares in its parent ­company plunge by 11 per cent in spring 2023 after recruiting &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/trans-and-gender-identity-issues/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;trans&lt;/a&gt; online influencer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22199318/gender-wars-jeremy-clarkson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dylan ­Mulvaney&lt;/a&gt;, a man who identifies as a girl, to promote its ­product.&lt;/p&gt;
  7687.  
  7688.  
  7689.  
  7690. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22407105/adidas-advert-pride-2023-backlash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sports giant Nike also faced a huge backlash from female ­customers&lt;/a&gt; after ­featuring ­Mulvaney — a man with no breasts — in a sports bra.&lt;/p&gt;
  7691.  
  7692.  
  7693.  
  7694. &lt;p&gt;And &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disney/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Disney’s&lt;/a&gt; foray into progressive ­messaging and diversity-obsessed casting at the expense of actually entertaining audiences saw four major movies in a row bomb at the box office, despite them costing a total of almost $1billion to make.&lt;/p&gt;
  7695.  
  7696.  
  7697.  
  7698. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8206705/what-is-toxic-masculinity-and-why-was-the-gillette-ad-so-controversial/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;an ad for Gillette razors&lt;/a&gt; chiding men for their toxic masculinity did not go down well with their male ­customers, funnily enough, while Costa Coffee earned a boycott for promoting trans ideology.&lt;/p&gt;
  7699.  
  7700.  
  7701.  
  7702. &lt;p&gt;Even Wickes, the home improvement retailer, faced a backlash after a company chief said women’s rights activists were anti-trans “bigots” and not “welcomed in our stores” — causing Wickes’ share price to fall by five per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
  7703.  
  7704.  
  7705.  
  7706. &lt;p&gt;Jaguar would be wise to pay attention to its critics because most customers have had enough of woke.&lt;/p&gt;
  7707.  
  7708.  
  7709.  
  7710. &lt;p&gt;We’re tired of rainbow lanyards, non-stop Pride months, non-binary uniforms and preferred pronoun name badges.&lt;/p&gt;
  7711.  
  7712.  
  7713.  
  7714. &lt;p&gt;We are fed up with companies lecturing those who ultimately pay their wages on how we should think, speak and behave.&lt;/p&gt;
  7715.  
  7716.  
  7717.  
  7718. &lt;p&gt;Whether we’re buying a car, a beer or a coffee, we don’t want a sneering moral lecture from the people selling it.&lt;/p&gt;
  7719.  
  7720.  
  7721.  
  7722. &lt;p&gt;If you don’t want to go broke, then drop the woke.&lt;/p&gt;

  7741. &lt;div&gt;
  7742. &lt;p&gt;ONE of the few sights that genuinely cheered many of us up during the misery of Covid lockdowns was the sight of Captain (later Sir) Tom Moore, aged 99, slowly walking 100 laps of his garden to raise money for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
  7743. &lt;p&gt;Now a Charity Commission report into a fund set up in Capt Tom’s name after his death has revealed a shocking betrayal by the late war veteran’s own daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin, who pocketed £1.5miliion of cash to fund their own lavish lifestyle, including a new spa and pool block at their house.&lt;/p&gt;
  7744. &lt;p&gt;It defies belief that any child would betray the legacy of their own father like this.&lt;/p&gt;
  7745. &lt;p&gt;But while her name is in the gutter where it belongs, Capt Tom’s good name will live on forever.&lt;/p&gt;
  7746. &lt;/div&gt;
  7747. &lt;/div&gt;
  7748. &lt;/div&gt;
  7750.  
  7751.  
  7752.  
  7753. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;CV? Should&amp;#8217;ve checked, mate&lt;/h2&gt;
  7754.  
  7755.  
  7756.  
  7757. &lt;p&gt;FROM my very first job delivering a weekly evening paper to working in a burger shop, pubs, restaurants and offices, right up to my first newspaper job, I can remember everywhere I’ve worked and exactly what my job was.&lt;/p&gt;
  7758.  
  7759.  
  7760.  
  7761. &lt;p&gt;And so can you. Which is why it’s so peculiar that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31820954/fresh-twist-rachel-reeves-cv-row/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the Chancellor is so confused about her past.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7762.  
  7763.  
  7764.  
  7765. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867529&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/2024/11/britains-chancellor-exchequer-rachel-reeves-915594246.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a woman stands in front of a red background that says hm treasury&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867529&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;598&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;No10 yesterday dodged questions over whether Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been &amp;#8216;straight with the public&amp;#8217; about her past employment[/caption]
  7766.  
  7767.  
  7768.  
  7769. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves’&lt;/a&gt; CV is the Bermuda Triangle of former employment, prompting far more questions than answers.&lt;/p&gt;
  7770.  
  7771.  
  7772.  
  7773. &lt;p&gt;Time and again, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/labour-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Labour&lt;/a&gt; have trumpeted Ms Reeves’ track record as an economist, and yet now we learn that half the time she worked in admin, while she doesn’t even know if she won a kids’ chess championship or not (she didn’t).&lt;/p&gt;
  7774.  
  7775.  
  7776.  
  7777. &lt;p&gt;Is it any wonder that a Chancellor who is so forgetful about her own jobs should care so little in her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/budget/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Budget&lt;/a&gt; about protecting everyone else’s?&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  7826. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEWIS HAMILTON was ready to quit Mercedes with three races of the season still to go.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  7830. &lt;p&gt;Britain’s seven-time world champ endured the lowest couple of days of his glittering &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/f1/&quot;&gt;Formula 1&lt;/a&gt; career in Brazil a fortnight ago.&lt;/p&gt;

  7843.  
  7844.  
  7845.  
  7846. &lt;p&gt;He slammed his car as “the worst it’s ever been” after what he described as a “disaster of a weekend”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7847.  
  7848.  
  7849.  
  7850. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lewis-hamilton/&quot;&gt;Hamilton&lt;/a&gt; finished tenth in the rain-lashed Sao Paulo Grand Prix having crossed the line 11th in the Interlagos sprint race 24 hours earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
  7851.  
  7852.  
  7853.  
  7854. &lt;p&gt;The 39-year-old — who joins Ferrari next season — then uttered a cryptic remark to his mechanics over the team radio.&lt;/p&gt;
  7855.  
  7856.  
  7857.  
  7858. &lt;p&gt;He said: “If this is the last time I get to perform it was a shame it wasn’t great but I’m grateful for you.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7859.  
  7860.  
  7861.  
  7862. &lt;p&gt;Hamilton later remarked he “could happily go and take a holiday”.&lt;/p&gt;
  7863.  
  7864.  
  7865.  
  7866. &lt;p&gt;Mercedes tried to play down the driver’s comments.&lt;/p&gt;
  7867.  
  7868.  
  7869.  
  7870. &lt;p&gt;But ahead of Sunday’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, Hamilton revealed he was genuinely ready to quit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/toto-wolff/&quot;&gt;Toto Wolff&lt;/a&gt;’s Brackley-based team early as his 12-year Mercedes career threatened to burn out with a whimper.&lt;/p&gt;
  7871.  
  7872.  
  7873.  
  7874. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;nbsp;said: “In the moment that’s how I felt, like I didn’t really want to come back after that weekend. That’s only natural.&lt;/p&gt;
  7875.

  7915.  
  7916.  
  7917.  
  7918. &lt;p&gt;Hamilton finished 50 seconds behind winner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/max-verstappen/&quot;&gt;Max Verstappen&lt;/a&gt; in Brazil — even though Red Bull’s triple world champ started behind him on the grid — and 27sec adrift of team-mate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/george-russell/&quot;&gt;George Russell&lt;/a&gt;, who crossed the line in fourth.&lt;/p&gt;
  7919.  
  7920.  
  7921.  
  7922. &lt;p&gt;Despite ending a 2½-year winless streak at the British Grand Prix in July, Hamilton is ­seventh in the world championship, 203 points behind Verstappen.&lt;/p&gt;
  7923.  
  7924.

  7927.  
  7928.  
  7929.  
  7930. &lt;p&gt;Hamilton was asked about Mercedes boss Wolff saying he “liked” that the Brit chose to leave the team as it may have stopped him from possibly having to get rid of him at a later date.&lt;/p&gt;
  7931.  
  7932.  
  7933.  
  7934. &lt;p&gt;Wolff also spoke of Hamilton ­having a “shelf life” in ­Mercedes’ all-access book Inside Mercedes F1: Life in the Fast Lane.&lt;/p&gt;
  7935.  
  7936.  
  7937.  
  7938. &lt;p&gt;When Hamilton was asked if he felt he had a point to prove, the racer who has won six of his seven world crowns at Mercedes, replied: “No. Just me being here, standing tall, I feel strong. I’ve been training well, I feel great.&lt;/p&gt;

  7945.  
  7946. &lt;p&gt;“Honestly, I feel in the best place I’ve been all year mentally and considering how bad the last race was, that says enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  7947.  
  7948.  
  7949.  
  7950. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve been around this game for a long time.&lt;/p&gt;
  7951.  
  7952.  
  7953.  
  7954. &lt;p&gt;“There have been so many&amp;nbsp; things said about me, so many ­micro-aggressions.&lt;/p&gt;
  7955.  
  7956.  
  7957.  
  7958. &lt;p&gt;“Not from my boss, because he’s been supportive all these years and we’ve achieved a lot together, but in general and through it all, nothing can take me down.&lt;/p&gt;
  7959.

  8132. &lt;p&gt;TENS of thousands of Brits have been given an unexpected cash boost with a major benefits upgrade being announced. &lt;/p&gt;
  8133.  
  8134.  
  8135.  
  8136. &lt;p&gt;Anyone who claims &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31320370/millions-brits-extra-cash-biggest-budget-benefits-shakeup/&quot;&gt;Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance&lt;/a&gt; is now set to pocket an extra £4,344 a year as the threshold for earners is due to move from £151 all the way up to £191.&lt;/p&gt;
  8137.  
  8138.  
  8139.  
  8140. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867457&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/2024/11/smiling-woman-looking-received-mail-951051347.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a woman is smiling while looking at a piece of paper&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867457&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;Tens of thousands of Brits have been given an unexpected cash boost with the government announcing a major benefits upgrade[/caption]
  8141.  
  8142.  
  8143.  
  8144. &lt;p&gt;Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance is a helpful benefit paid to those spending a minimum of 35 hours a week caring for someone with an illness or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8145.  
  8146.  
  8147.  
  8148. &lt;p&gt;It is currently paid at a weekly rate of £81.90 and anyone on the benefit is allowed to have a second income from a job.&lt;/p&gt;
  8149.  
  8150.  
  8151.  
  8152. &lt;p&gt;But this price is now due to go up to £83.30 under Labour&amp;#8217;s new budget plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  8153.  
  8154.  
  8155.  
  8156. &lt;p&gt;Another major change sees drastic improvements to the minimum amount a person can earn before claiming.&lt;/p&gt;
  8157.  
  8158.  
  8159.  
  8160. &lt;p&gt;Under current rules, anyone who earns more than £151 per week is excluded from the benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
  8161.  
  8162.  
  8163.  
  8164. &lt;p&gt;Chancellor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves&lt;/a&gt; announced last month though that the upper limit was due to stretch by up to £40 in April 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  8165.  
  8166.  
  8167.  
  8168. &lt;p&gt;During her maiden Budget speech she announced changes to the benefit with it now finally being confirmed as rising to £191.&lt;/p&gt;
  8169.  
  8170.  
  8171.  
  8172. &lt;p&gt;It is the equivalent of 16 hours a week for people on the living wage.&lt;/p&gt;
  8173.  
  8174.  
  8175.  
  8176. &lt;p&gt;The announcement means an extra 60,000 carers will be eligible for Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance.&lt;/p&gt;
  8177.  
  8178.  
  8179.  
  8180. &lt;p&gt;The £40 uplift will be the largest increase in the threshold since the benefit was introduced in 1976.&lt;/p&gt;

  8203.  
  8204. &lt;p&gt;Helen Walker, chief executive of Carers UK, said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s great that the Government seems to be taking swift action to end what we feel is a significant injustice for some of the most deserving people of &lt;span id=&quot;189c2f53-94f4-4643-8d1e-5d08be118e38&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;this country&lt;/span&gt;, unpaid carers.&lt;/p&gt;
  8205.  
  8206.  
  8207.  
  8208. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re delighted that this is being addressed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8209.  
  8210.  
  8211.  
  8212. &lt;p&gt;The boost will also help those who have suffered recently when being made to payback the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt; if they earn too much.&lt;/p&gt;
  8213.  
  8214.  
  8215.  
  8216. &lt;p&gt;Rules state that anyone must pay back all of the benefit they were given while earning over the £151 weekly limit.&lt;/p&gt;
  8217.  
  8218.  
  8219.  
  8220. &lt;p&gt;It has seen some carers forced to pay back huge sums&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27183564/carers-allowance-benefits-department-for-work-and-pensions/&quot;&gt;to the Government worth thousands of pounds&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8221.  
  8222.  
  8223.  
  8224. &lt;p&gt;Figures from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31106327/carers-allowance-benefit-repayment-demands-dwp-review&quot;&gt;the Department for Work and Pensions&lt;/a&gt; (DWP) reveal that over 134,500 carers repaid a total £251million back in 2023/24.&lt;/p&gt;
  8225.  
  8226.  
  8227.  
  8228. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/&quot;&gt;The Sun&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has previously highlighted cases where some individuals were required to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/27183564/carers-allowance-benefits-department-for-work-and-pensions/&quot;&gt;repay up to £20,000&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after unknowingly breaching carer&amp;#8217;s allowance rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  8229.  
  8230.  
  8231.  
  8232. &lt;p&gt;You can apply for the carer&amp;#8217;s allowance by visiting www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/how-to-claim online.&lt;/p&gt;
  8233.

  8242. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  8243. CARER&amp;#039;S allowance is a UK benefit designed to help people who have caring responsibilities for more than 35 hours each week. &lt;/p&gt;
  8245. &lt;div&gt;
  8246. &lt;p&gt;Those eligible get £81.90 a week paid directly into bank accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
  8247. &lt;p&gt;To qualify, the person you care for must already get one of these benefits:&lt;/p&gt;
  8248. &lt;ul&gt;
  8249. &lt;li&gt;Personal independence payment (PIP) &amp;#8211; daily living component&lt;/li&gt;
  8250. &lt;li&gt;Disability living allowance &amp;#8211; the middle or highest care rate&lt;/li&gt;
  8251. &lt;li&gt;Attendance allowance&lt;/li&gt;
  8252. &lt;li&gt;Constant attendance allowance at or above the normal maximum rate with an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit&lt;/li&gt;
  8253. &lt;li&gt;Constant attendance allowance at the basic (full day) rate with a war disablement pension&lt;/li&gt;
  8254. &lt;li&gt;Armed forces independence payment&lt;/li&gt;
  8255. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8256. &lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#8217;t have to be related to the person or live with them to apply.&lt;/p&gt;
  8257. &lt;p&gt;But if you share caring responsibilities with someone else, only one of you can make a claim.&lt;/p&gt;
  8258. &lt;p&gt;The type of care you provide can vary, but includes things such as helping with washing or cooking, taking the person to medical appointments or helping out with household tasks such as shopping or organising bills.&lt;/p&gt;
  8259. &lt;p&gt;To get the benefit, you must also meet a certain set of criteria:&lt;/p&gt;
  8260. &lt;ul&gt;
  8261. &lt;li&gt;You must be 16 or over&lt;/li&gt;
  8262. &lt;li&gt;You have to spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone&lt;/li&gt;
  8263. &lt;li&gt;You need to have been in England, Scotland or Wales for at least two of the last three years (this does not apply if you’re a refugee or have humanitarian protection status)&lt;/li&gt;
  8264. &lt;li&gt;You must normally live in England, Scotland or Wales or live abroad as a member of the armed forces (you might still be eligible if you’re moving to or already living in an EEA country or Switzerland)&lt;/li&gt;
  8265. &lt;li&gt;You cannot be in full-time education&lt;/li&gt;
  8266. &lt;li&gt;You must not be studying for 21 hours a week or more&lt;/li&gt;
  8267. &lt;li&gt;You cannot be subject to immigration control&lt;/li&gt;
  8268. &lt;li&gt;You will also have to meet certain earnings criteria in order to get the benefit.&lt;/li&gt;
  8269. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8270. &lt;p&gt;Your earnings must also be £151 or less a week after tax, National Insurance and expenses.&lt;/p&gt;
  8271. &lt;/div&gt;
  8272. &lt;/div&gt;
  8273. &lt;/div&gt;
  8275.  
  8276.  
  8277.  
  8278. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What to do if you breach the earnings limit&lt;/h2&gt;
  8279.  
  8280.  
  8281.  
  8282. &lt;p&gt;If you breach the £151 earnings limit, you should try and proactively report it to the DWP as it is classed as a change in circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;
  8283.  
  8284.  
  8285.  
  8286. &lt;p&gt;You can report any change in circumstances online via the Government&amp;#8217;s website.&lt;/p&gt;
  8287.  
  8288.  
  8289.  
  8290. &lt;p&gt;But you&amp;#8217;ll need your&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-insurance/&quot;&gt;National Insurance&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(NI) number to hand, details of the person you&amp;#8217;re caring for and details of the change.&lt;/p&gt;
  8291.  
  8292.  
  8293.  
  8294. &lt;p&gt;If you have been overpaid Carer&amp;#8217;s Allowance, you will have to pay it back in full or instalments via the DWP Debt Management platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  8295.  
  8296.  
  8297.  
  8298. &lt;p&gt;This is also on the Government&amp;#8217;s website.&lt;/p&gt;
  8299.  
  8300.  
  8301.  
  8302. &lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#8217;t do this, the DWP can take deductions from your work salary, or even pass your case on to a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/debt-help/&quot;&gt;debt&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;collector.&lt;/p&gt;
  8303.  
  8304.  
  8305.  
  8306. &lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#8217;t engage with the debt collector, it may then take your case to the county&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;courts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8307.  
  8308.  
  8309.  
  8310. &lt;p&gt;You can dispute an overpayment if you don&amp;#8217;t agree with it, but you&amp;#8217;ll need evidence as to why you claim to not have overpaid.&lt;/p&gt;
  8311.  
  8312.  
  8313.  
  8314. &lt;p&gt;You can do this via what&amp;#8217;s known as a &amp;#8220;mandatory reconsideration&amp;#8221;, which you can submit to the DWP online, via phone or by letter.&lt;/p&gt;
  8315.  
  8316.  
  8317.  
  8318. &lt;p&gt;The specific contact details you&amp;#8217;ll need to send any correspondence to will be on the decision letter you receive from the DWP.&lt;/p&gt;
  8319.  
  8320.  
  8321.  
  8322. &lt;p&gt;Once the DWP has received your mandatory reconsideration, you will receive a &amp;#8220;mandatory reconsideration notice&amp;#8221; informing you whether it has changed its decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  8323.  
  8324.  
  8325.  
  8326. &lt;p&gt;If you disagree with that outcome, you can appeal to the&amp;nbsp;Social Security&amp;nbsp;and Child Support Tribunal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8327.  
  8328.  
  8329.  
  8330. &lt;p&gt;A judge will listen to both sides of the argument before making a decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  8331.  
  8332.

  8461.  
  8462.  
  8463.  
  8464. &lt;p&gt;He revealed that both his parents had suffered from it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8465.  
  8466.  
  8467.  
  8468. &lt;p&gt;The former striker has undergone two operations on his hands over the years but the issue has returned.&lt;/p&gt;
  8469.  
  8470.  
  8471.  
  8472. &lt;p&gt;McCoist explained: &amp;#8220;I have got Dupuytren&amp;#8217;s. It&amp;#8217;s a hereditary thing where your fingers close in.&lt;/p&gt;
  8473.  
  8474.  
  8475.  
  8476. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have had them done twice. I went to see the doctor and he said to me &amp;#8216;Did your grandfather have it?&amp;#8217;. I said &amp;#8216;I don&amp;#8217;t know&amp;#8217; because I never met any of my grandfathers, sadly they passed before I was born.&lt;/p&gt;
  8477.  
  8478.  
  8479.  
  8480. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I said to him &amp;#8216;But my dad had it&amp;#8217;. He lifted his head up and said &amp;#8216;You&amp;#8217;re unlucky because it normally skips a generation&amp;#8217;. I said &amp;#8216;That&amp;#8217;s good news because I have got five boys&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8481.  
  8482.  
  8483.  
  8484. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My wee mum had it as well. My mum had it, my dad had it, it&amp;#8217;s a hereditary thing.&lt;/p&gt;
  8485.  
  8486.  
  8487.  
  8488. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The bizarre thing with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/21146201/what-dupuytrens-disease-boxer-ricky-hatton/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Dupuytren&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; is when I went to see the doctor he said &amp;#8216;I will operate on it but it will come back in roughly nine years&amp;#8217;. And I swear to God nine years later it came back.&lt;/p&gt;
  8489.  
  8490.  
  8491.  
  8492. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;I have seen myself sending a text message which takes me five minutes to text with one finger when I should just dial the number.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8493.

  8501.  
  8502.  
  8503.  
  8504. &lt;p&gt;It can cause one or more fingers to curl towards the palm or pull sideways.&lt;/p&gt;

  8528. &lt;p&gt;It is estimated that two million people in Britain have some degree of Dupuytren&amp;#8217;s.&lt;/p&gt;
  8529.  
  8530.  
  8531.  
  8532. &lt;p&gt;The cause is unknown but it runs in families and worsens with age.&lt;/p&gt;
  8533.  
  8534.  
  8535.  
  8536. &lt;p&gt;McCoist is one of the UK&amp;#8217;s most beloved football pundits and commentators.&lt;/p&gt;
  8537.  
  8538.  
  8539.  
  8540. &lt;p&gt;He currently works for talkSPORT, ITV and Sky Sports.&lt;/p&gt;

  8550. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  8551. Dupuytren&amp;#039;s contracture mainly affects the ring and little fingers. It&amp;#039;s common to have it in both hands at the same time. &lt;/p&gt;
  8553. &lt;div&gt;
  8554. &lt;p&gt;It tends to get slowly worse over many months or years.&lt;/p&gt;
  8555. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not usually painful, but it can affect how you use your hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  8556. &lt;p&gt;It starts with lumps, dimples or ridges on your palm.&lt;/p&gt;
  8557. &lt;p&gt;Eventually, 1 or more of your fingers may get stuck in a bent position.&lt;/p&gt;
  8558. &lt;p&gt;There are 3 main types of treatment:&lt;/p&gt;
  8559. &lt;ul&gt;
  8560. &lt;li&gt;surgery to remove the affected tissue in the hand (fasciectomy)&lt;/li&gt;
  8561. &lt;li&gt;using a needle to make small cuts in the affected tissue (needle fasciotomy)&lt;/li&gt;
  8562. &lt;li&gt;surgery to remove the affected tissue and skin (dermofasciectomy)&lt;/li&gt;
  8563. &lt;/ul&gt;
  8564. &lt;/div&gt;

  8628.  
  8629. &lt;p&gt;It was previously reported that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31819688/pep-guardiola-sensationally-signs-new-man-city-deal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Guardiola would sign a new rolling one-year extension.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8630.  
  8631.  
  8632.  
  8633. &lt;p&gt;But that is no longer the case, with the legendary Spaniard extending his stay until at least 2027.&lt;/p&gt;
  8634.  
  8635.  
  8636.  
  8637. &lt;p&gt;City &lt;a href=&quot;https://x.com/ManCity/status/1859688837276119266&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;announced the news on X. (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;announced the news on X.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8638.  
  8639.  
  8640.  
  8641. &lt;p&gt;The club first teased the announcement with a short, zoomed in clip into the former Barcelona manager&amp;#8217;s eye.&lt;/p&gt;
  8642.  
  8643.  
  8644.  
  8645. &lt;p&gt;Guardiola said: “Manchester City means so much to me. This is my ninth season here.&lt;/p&gt;
  8646.  
  8647.  
  8648.  
  8649. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club. &lt;/p&gt;
  8650.  
  8651.  
  8652.  
  8653. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That is why I am so happy to be staying for another two more seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  8654.  
  8655.  
  8656.  
  8657. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hopefully now we can add more trophies to the ones we have&lt;br&gt;already won. That will be my focus.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8658.  
  8659.  
  8660.  
  8661. &lt;p&gt;It will take his time at the Etihad up to 11 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  8662.  
  8663.  
  8664.  
  8665. &lt;p&gt;Guardiola joined City back in 2016 following the departure of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/manuel-pellegrini/&quot;&gt;Manuel Pellegrini&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8696. By Neil Custis &lt;/p&gt;
  8698. &lt;div&gt;
  8699. &lt;p&gt;ERLING HAALAND hailed Pep Guardiola as the greatest manager of all time.&lt;/p&gt;
  8700. &lt;p&gt;Manchester City boss Pep has signed a new two-year deal to stay at the Etihad and now the Prem champions want to convince their star striker to follow suit.&lt;/p&gt;
  8701. &lt;p&gt;And Haaland — who has scored 105 goals in 114 appearances for City — saluted the Spaniard.&lt;/p&gt;
  8702. &lt;p&gt;The 24-year-old Norwegian said: “He is the best manager in the world.&lt;br /&gt;“I think we all know he’s probably the best that ever existed on the earth.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8703. &lt;p&gt;After arriving from Borussia ­Dortmund for £51million in July 2022, Haaland was a key part as City landed the Treble of Champions League, Prem and FA Cup in his first season.&lt;/p&gt;
  8704. &lt;p&gt;And last term he helped Guardiola’s men seal a fourth Prem title in a row.&lt;/p&gt;
  8705. &lt;p&gt;The prolific marksman puts all City’s ­success down to the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich chief.&lt;/p&gt;
  8706. &lt;p&gt;Haaland added: “I expected loads of things from him and he has been ­delivering up to this every single second, so I’m super happy and you can see that when I play.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8707. &lt;p&gt;Guardiola moved to City from Bayern in the summer of 2016 and has won six league titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, the Champions League and the Club World Club.&lt;/p&gt;
  8708. &lt;p&gt;He won three titles each at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, plus two Champions Leagues with Barca.&lt;/p&gt;
  8709. &lt;p&gt;City feared he may leave at the end of this season but instead the 53-year-old has signed a new contract to stay on.&lt;/p&gt;
  8710. &lt;p&gt;Etihad chiefs hope Pep’s commitment will boost their chances of Haaland agreeing a £100m package — as revealed by SunSport this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  8711. &lt;p&gt;Barcelona have been linked with a swoop for the hitman. But Haaland — due to be back in Prem action at home to Spurs tomorrow —  has 2½ years left on his £375,000-a-week-plus-bonuses deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8712. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Guardiola believes he will know when the time is right for him to walk away.&lt;/p&gt;
  8713. &lt;p&gt;He said: “I enjoy being here, I like my job.&lt;/p&gt;
  8714. &lt;p&gt;“I said many times, the moment I don’t have that feeling — even with a contract — I will call my chairman, my CEO and say the best thing for the club is for me to leave.&lt;/p&gt;
  8715. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t have that feeling right now, so I’ve extended.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8716. &lt;p&gt;This is the fourth contract extension he has signed with City.&lt;/p&gt;
  8717. &lt;p&gt;Pep admitted: “Every time I signed the contract I’d say it’s the last two years — and still we are here. So honestly, myself and my staff, we deserve to be here. We deserve the chance after four defeats in a row to bounce back.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8718. &lt;p&gt;City have struggled since the serious knee injury to midfield linchpin Rodri in September and face an uphill task to retain their title.&lt;/p&gt;
  8719. &lt;p&gt;Pep added: “This season we have won one [Community Shield] and maybe we are not going to win the other ones but this is not the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  8720. &lt;p&gt;“The problem is what’s next, what decisions do we have to take to still be in there. Still be a good team.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8721. &lt;/div&gt;
  8722. &lt;/div&gt;
  8723. &lt;/div&gt;
  8725.  
  8726.  
  8727.  
  8728. &lt;p&gt;He has won 18 trophies during his time in English &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt;, including six Premier League titles — second in the all-time list behind former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; manager Sir &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alex-ferguson/&quot;&gt;Alex Ferguson&lt;/a&gt; (13).&lt;/p&gt;
  8729.  
  8730.  
  8731.  
  8732. &lt;p&gt;But there had been speculation regarding his future in recent weeks amid the club&amp;#8217;s legal battle with Prem bosses.&lt;/p&gt;
  8733.  
  8734.  
  8735.  
  8736. &lt;p&gt;The hearing into City&amp;#8217;s alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play has entered it&amp;#8217;s 10th week.&lt;/p&gt;
  8737.  
  8738.  
  8739.  
  8740. &lt;p&gt;City are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30405313/man-city-hearing-115-charges-date-start-monday/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;currently facing 115 charges&lt;/a&gt; relating to their financial dealings between 2009 and 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  8741.  
  8742.  
  8743.  
  8744. &lt;p&gt;If found guilty, the Prem giants could face a significant punishment.&lt;/p&gt;
  8745.  
  8746.  
  8747.  
  8748. &lt;p&gt;They may even be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30528887/man-city-face-expelled-all-competitions-breaches/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;expelled from the top division.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8749.  
  8750.  
  8751.  
  8752. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/rr-sports-graphic-mancity-plcharges-7.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/rr-sports-graphic-mancity-plcharges-7.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=492&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-21305227&quot; width=&quot;492&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  8753.  
  8754.  
  8755.  
  8756. &lt;p&gt;But it is understood that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31828864/pep-guardiola-man-city-contract-115-charges/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Guardiola&amp;#8217;s contract will &lt;strong&gt;NOT &lt;/strong&gt;have a break clause.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8757.  
  8758.  
  8759.  
  8760. &lt;p&gt;This means his new deal will not be affected by the outcome of the club&amp;#8217;s hearing into the charges and if City were relegated.&lt;/p&gt;
  8761.  
  8762.  
  8763.  
  8764. &lt;p&gt;However, SunSport understands that it is unlikely that that the Cityzens would be dumped from all&amp;nbsp;competitions&amp;nbsp;despite the rules allowing for it to happen.&lt;/p&gt;
  8765.  
  8766.  
  8767.  
  8768. &lt;p&gt;With Guardiola agreeing to stay, he will be forced to lead City through the storm of whatever penalty &amp;#8211; if any &amp;#8211; they receive.&lt;/p&gt;
  8769.  
  8770.  
  8771.  
  8772. &lt;p&gt;In 2022-23, he helped City become only the second English side after Ferguson’s 1998-99 team to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22607605/man-city-win-treble-inter-milan/#:~:text=MANCHESTER%20CITY%20have%20made%20history,League%20in%20a%20single%20season.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;win the Treble&lt;/a&gt; — comprising the Prem, FA Cup and Champions League.&lt;/p&gt;
  8773.  
  8774.  
  8775.  
  8776. &lt;p&gt;Last term his side made history by becoming the first team to win four successive top-flight titles.&lt;/p&gt;
  8777.  
  8778.  
  8779.  
  8780. &lt;p&gt;The structure of Guardiola&amp;#8217;s deal is the same as the contract he signed in November 2020 and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20509162/pep-guardiola-new-man-city-deal-2025/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;November 2022.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8781.  
  8782.  
  8783.  
  8784. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31867966&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/2024/11/file-photo-dated-10-08-951056733.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man with his arms in the air wearing a shirt that says fifa world cup&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31867966&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;Guardiola has won 18 trophies during his time at the Etihad[/caption]

  8789.  
  8790.  
  8791.  
  8792. &lt;p&gt;The decision to extend also alleviates any potential problems of a managerial handover during a hectic summer that will see City compete at the Club World Cup in America.&lt;/p&gt;
  8793.  
  8794.  
  8795.  
  8796. &lt;p&gt;City &amp;#8211; second in the table, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/31634860/liverpool-replace-man-city-premier-league-favourites/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;winless in four,&lt;/a&gt; and four points behind leaders Liverpool &amp;#8211; return to action at home to Tottenham on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  8797.  
  8798.  
  8799.  
  8800. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Guardiola&lt;/a&gt; added: &amp;#8220;I felt I could not leave now – simple as that. Maybe the four defeats was the reason why. I felt the club still wanted me.&lt;/p&gt;
  8801.  
  8802.  
  8803.  
  8804. &lt;p&gt;“Firstly because we won a lot, I feel love. But it’s a business and you have to win. I have a contract but I know if we don’t win I won’t continue.&lt;/p&gt;
  8805.  
  8806.  
  8807.  
  8808. &lt;p&gt;“The moment it’s done, the club will know it. And at this moment we didn’t feel it.&lt;/p&gt;
  8809.  
  8810.  
  8811.  
  8812. &lt;p&gt;“Every time I signed the contract I say it’s the last two – and still we are here. &lt;/p&gt;
  8813.  
  8814.  
  8815.  
  8816. &lt;p&gt;“So honestly myself and my staff, we deserve to be here. I’m not arrogant to say it, it’s the truth. We deserve the chance – after four defeats in a row – to bounce back and try to turn the situation.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  8817.  
  8818.  
  8819.  
  8820. &lt;p&gt;This is the first time Guardiola has endured such a streak of losses &amp;#8211; excluding penalty shootouts &amp;#8211; in his managerial career.&lt;/p&gt;

  8889. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; Day special on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; One will see &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Gavin and Stacey&lt;/a&gt; look to spice up their, now lengthy, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marriage-2/&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8890.  
  8891.  
  8892.  
  8893. &lt;p&gt;Nessa, who proposed to Smithy at the end of the last episode in 2019, has also started a new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; venture.&lt;/p&gt;
  8894.  
  8895.  
  8896.  
  8897. &lt;p&gt;We recently revealed how James Cordon hinted that a major character from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey&lt;/a&gt; may meet a tragic fate in the upcoming Christmas special.&lt;/p&gt;
  8898.  
  8899.  
  8900.  
  8901. &lt;p&gt;While keeping details under wraps, James suggested that fans should prepare for unexpected twists in the beloved &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30493690/gavin-and-stacey-christmas-special-plot/&quot;&gt;show&amp;#8217;s festive return.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8902.  
  8903.  
  8904.  
  8905. &lt;p&gt;He has teased fans that the long-awaited&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30493690/gavin-and-stacey-christmas-special-plot/&quot;&gt; festive special&lt;/a&gt; will include a character’s funeral.&lt;/p&gt;
  8906.  
  8907.  
  8908.  
  8909. &lt;p&gt;His comments has sparked speculation that much-loved Uncle Bryn will pass away.&lt;/p&gt;
  8910.  
  8911.  
  8912.  
  8913. &lt;p&gt;Stacey’s Uncle Bryn, played by Would I Lie To You? host &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30907314/rob-brydon-destination-x-gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Rob Brydon&lt;/a&gt;, 59, has been in the show since its 2007 pilot.&lt;/p&gt;
  8914.  
  8915.  
  8916.  
  8917. &lt;p&gt;At The Global Gift Gala&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;event in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;this week, James revealed: “What we were editing today was a very moving and emotional scene at Bryn’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/funeral/&quot;&gt;funeral&lt;/a&gt;. I’m joking, I promise. Or am I?”&lt;/p&gt;
  8918.  
  8919.  
  8920.  
  8921. &lt;p id=&quot;amp-readmore-target&quot;&gt;He previously admitted the last episode, due to be screened on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;Day, will be “hard to watch”.&lt;/p&gt;
  8922.  
  8923.  
  8924.  
  8925. &lt;p&gt;The last&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gavin-and-stacey/&quot;&gt;Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;episode was aired at Christmas in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  8926.  
  8927.  
  8928.  
  8929. &lt;p&gt;Viewers are hoping for a happy ending for Nessa and Smithy as the episode was left on a cliffhanger.&lt;/p&gt;

  8998.  
  8999.  
  9000.  
  9001. &lt;p&gt;He shared photos of the two together from over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
  9002.  
  9003.  
  9004.  
  9005. &lt;p&gt;Wayne penned: &amp;#8220;Happy birthday Duaney. Love you beyond infinity.&lt;/p&gt;
  9006.  
  9007.  
  9008.  
  9009. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My first son and 40 years later never once have you not made me proud.&lt;/p&gt;
  9010.  
  9011.  
  9012.  
  9013. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Just weeks ago I was speaking about you to a mutual friend and he said to me these words, &amp;#8216;Duane is everything you can ever dream of in a son.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  9014.  
  9015.  
  9016.  
  9017. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He could not have said anything that can explain my love and my respect for you than this as it&amp;#8217;s the truth.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9018.  
  9019.  
  9020.  
  9021. &lt;p&gt;Continuing, he added: &amp;#8220;You are also everything you can ever dream of in a husband, a father, a brother and a friend.&lt;/p&gt;
  9022.  
  9023.  
  9024.  
  9025. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you for all the care, the love and the happiness you have brought to your Dad&amp;#8217;s life.&lt;/p&gt;
  9026.  
  9027.  
  9028.  
  9029. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We all laugh as you should be the father and me the son.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9030.  
  9031.  
  9032.  
  9033. &lt;p&gt;In addition to being Wayne&amp;#8217;s son, Duane is also his partner in several businesses.&lt;/p&gt;

  9061. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, he&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/31625736/wayne-lineker-issues-plea-gary-heal-feud-brother/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; issued an heartbreaking plea to elder brother Gary&lt;/a&gt; in a bid to end their bitter feud.&lt;/p&gt;
  9062.  
  9063.  
  9064.  
  9065. &lt;p&gt;He has been estranged from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30850034/why-gary-lineker-quit-match-of-the-day/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the soon-to-be former &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/match-of-the-day/&quot;&gt;Match of the Day&lt;/a&gt; host since 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

  9085. &lt;p&gt;However, the pair have reportedly been estranged since 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
  9086. &lt;p&gt;Wayne himself has four children: Duane, Sean, Freddie and Tia.&lt;/p&gt;
  9087. &lt;p&gt;Duane followed in his father&amp;#8217;s footsteps and runs O Beach Ibiza with his partner Megan.&lt;/p&gt;
  9088. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Sean is said to sometimes help out his father and brother at the lavish resort.&lt;/p&gt;
  9089. &lt;p&gt;Only daughter Tia is a model and influencer who boasts over 569k followers on Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;

  9157. &lt;p&gt;RUBEN AMORIM pulled Leny Yoro out of Manchester United&amp;#8217;s under-21 game this week, according to reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  9158.  
  9159.  
  9160.  
  9161. &lt;p&gt;The 19-year-old was due to make his first appearance of the season in a 4-0 win over Altrincham in the National League Cup on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

  9176.  
  9177. &lt;p&gt;But new United boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Amorim&lt;/a&gt; wanted Yoro to remain with the senior squad after watching the defender in his first training session on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  9178.  
  9179.  
  9180.  
  9181. &lt;p&gt;Yoro recently returned to Carrington after fracturing his metatarsal during pre-season against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196653/arsenal/&quot;&gt;Arsenal&lt;/a&gt; on July 26.&lt;/p&gt;
  9182.  
  9183.  
  9184.  
  9185. &lt;p&gt;Training clips, released by United, showed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31859716/ruben-amorim-marcus-rashford-style/#:~:text=Rashford%20must%20let%20go%20of,one%20alongside%20captain%20Bruno%20Fernandes.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Yoro, who signed for £59m from Lille in the summer, training at the right&lt;/a&gt; hand side of the back three.&lt;/p&gt;
  9186.  
  9187.  
  9188.  
  9189. &lt;p&gt;He was flanked by Jonny Evans in the middle and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-shaw/&quot;&gt;Luke Shaw&lt;/a&gt; on the left during the practice match.&lt;/p&gt;
  9190.  
  9191.  
  9192.  
  9193. &lt;p&gt;Amorim appears to have taken an immediate shine to Yoro.&lt;/p&gt;
  9194.  
  9195.  
  9196.  
  9197. &lt;p&gt;The teenage talent could make his debut away at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225846/ipswich-town/&quot;&gt;Ipswich Town&lt;/a&gt; on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
  9198.  
  9199.  
  9200.  
  9201. &lt;p&gt;Amorim is expected to bring in his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31859716/ruben-amorim-marcus-rashford-style/#:~:text=Rashford%20must%20let%20go%20of,one%20alongside%20captain%20Bruno%20Fernandes.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;favourite 3-4-3 &lt;/a&gt;formation, which saw him win two titles with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sporting-lisbon/&quot;&gt;Sporting Lisbon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9202.  
  9203.  
  9204.  
  9205. &lt;p&gt;The Frenchman was among the first players to meet the new boss when he arrived at the start of the international break.&lt;/p&gt;
  9206.  
  9207.  
  9208.

  9210.  
  9211.  
  9212.  
  9213. &lt;p&gt;Amorim, 39, did not have a full squad of first-team players to work with because many of his top stars were on international duty.&lt;/p&gt;
  9214.  
  9215.  
  9216.  
  9217. &lt;p&gt;He will be cautious with Yoro&amp;#8217;s return, but he could be forced to throw him into action at Portman Road amid uncertainty surrounding other centre-backs.&lt;/p&gt;

  9241. &lt;p&gt;United are going through yet another injury crisis at the back, after Lisandro Martinez and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/victor-lindelof/&quot;&gt;Victor Lindelof&lt;/a&gt; withdrew from their national teams over the break.&lt;/p&gt;

  9246.  
  9247.

  9262. By Charlie Wyett &lt;/p&gt;
  9264. &lt;div&gt;
  9265. &lt;p&gt;RUBEN AMORIM would have preferred to leave Lisbon in a blaze of glory after winning a third Primeira Liga title.&lt;/p&gt;
  9266. &lt;p&gt;Yet football does not work like that. And in what was surely his final game before taking charge of Manchester United, Amorim prepared to say his goodbyes at a half-empty Estadio Jose Alvalade in a League Cup quarter-final against Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  9267. &lt;p&gt;Sporting won 3-1 thanks to&amp;nbsp; second-half goals by captain&amp;nbsp; Morten Hjulmand and Viktor Gyokeres, who scored two.&lt;/p&gt;
  9268. &lt;p&gt;Luis Esteves pulled back for Madeira-based Nacional.&lt;/p&gt;
  9269. &lt;p&gt;The stadium&amp;nbsp; will be a good deal more lively on Tuesday when Manchester City are here for&amp;nbsp; a Champions League match — although Amorim should by then have his feet firmly under his desk at Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  9270. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool and Aston Villa were both interested in Europe’s most sought-after coach. Even City could have been a possible destination post-Pep Guardiola.&lt;/p&gt;
  9271. &lt;p&gt;Yet the United job is one Amorim, 39,&amp;nbsp; could not turn&amp;nbsp; down — even if not everyone saw it that way at Sporting last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  9272. &lt;p&gt;There is clearly a huge split in the Portuguese club’s fan base over their coach leaving at this stage of the season with many believing he should have seen the job through.&lt;/p&gt;
  9273. &lt;p&gt;Yet Amorim, along with the three-man coaching team who are expected to follow him, leaves a club in a much better state than when he arrived here in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  9274. &lt;p&gt;Inside the stadium, there was applause — albeit muted — when his name was read out before the game along with the line-ups.&lt;/p&gt;
  9275. &lt;p&gt;And there did not appear to be any jeers when Amorim shuffled out from the tunnel awkwardly towards the dugout.&lt;/p&gt;
  9276. &lt;p&gt;So, while his departure is hard to take for some, none of the fans will forget his legacy.&lt;/p&gt;
  9277. &lt;p&gt;This is a club which is back as the dominant force in Portugal. Even this term, Sporting have won their first nine league games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just two.&lt;/p&gt;
  9278. &lt;p&gt;They are also eighth in the Champions League table, which is one hell of an effort.&lt;/p&gt;
  9279. &lt;p&gt;In contrast, Lisbon was not exactly hit by League Cup fever last night.&lt;/p&gt;
  9280. &lt;p&gt;Amorim made lots of changes, which saw Sporting’s star man Gyokeres, the former Coventry striker, start on the bench.&lt;/p&gt;
  9281. &lt;p&gt;There was, however, a first appearance in six weeks for former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards. &lt;/p&gt;
  9282. &lt;p&gt;He is certainly one player who has been transformed by Amorim since arriving at the club from Vitoria in 2022 and will be sorry to see the coach leave.&lt;/p&gt;
  9283. &lt;p&gt;While he changed his team, Amorim stuck with his tried and trusted formation of a back three.&lt;/p&gt;
  9284. &lt;p&gt;It will certainly be something Manchester United’s fans will have to get used to over the&amp;nbsp; coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
  9285. &lt;p&gt;But looking at the Premier League table, none of them will be complaining about the change.&lt;/p&gt;
  9286. &lt;/div&gt;
  9287. &lt;/div&gt;

  9348.  
  9349.  
  9350.  
  9351. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am f****** amazed I chased all four of them but I could not catch them. If anyone has got any information please message me immediately. One of them was wearing a red balaclava.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

  9375. &lt;p&gt;Speaking in a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/snapchat/&quot;&gt;Snapchat&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;video, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/geordie-shore/&quot;&gt;Geordie Shore&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;alum said: “Guys, I have just had the most emotional time so it’s so stupid cos I know she’ll be fine, but it’s just literally so heart-wrenching.&lt;/p&gt;
  9376.  
  9377.  
  9378.  
  9379. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Alba literally moved up to a new room today and the nursery&amp;#8230; I knew that she was probably gonna have a little cry about going in there, but I didn’t know how much she was gonna cry and how switched on she was about how she wanted to go to her old room.&lt;/p&gt;
  9380.  
  9381.  
  9382.  
  9383. &lt;p&gt;“So when I was like, ‘Oh no, we have to go up the stairs,’ she was like&amp;#8230; Just so hard. Obviously, so hormonal, but it&amp;#8217;s horrible. It’s horrible.&lt;/p&gt;
  9384.  
  9385.  
  9386.  
  9387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You just feel so awful and I’ve got to go to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;for work for tomorrow and then Wednesday, I’m not back till Thursday, so I’m gonna worry about it.&lt;/p&gt;
  9388.  
  9389.  
  9390.  
  9391. &lt;p&gt;“Please just tell us this is&amp;nbsp;pregnancy&amp;nbsp;hormones.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9392.  
  9393.  
  9394.  
  9395. &lt;p&gt;Charlotte&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/20095267/charlotte-crosby-gives-birth-baby-girl-name/#:~:text=CHARLOTTE%20Crosby%20has%20given%20birth,was%20having%20a%20caesarian%20section.&amp;amp;text=Charlotte's%20dad%20Gary%20shared,on%20Twitter%20earlier%20this%20morning.&quot;&gt;welcomed Alba into the world&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on October 15 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  9396.  
  9397.  
  9398.  
  9399. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/27503453/charlotte-crosy-geordie-shore-australia-job-quit-feud/&quot;&gt;Charlotte recently landed the job as the Boss&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on Geordie Shore spin-off Aussie Shore.&lt;/p&gt;
  9400.  
  9401.  
  9402.  
  9403. &lt;p&gt;But it looks like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30703252/charlotte-crosby-breaks-silence-geordie-shore-return/&quot;&gt;a return to the original show is out of the question&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after Charlotte quit last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  9404.  
  9405.  
  9406.  
  9407. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to The Sun recently, she said: &amp;#8220;I left Geordie Shore and didn&amp;#8217;t want to be involved in a show where you live and breathe drama, drunkenness and arguments. I just wasn&amp;#8217;t about that anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
  9408.  
  9409.  
  9410.  
  9411. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When I got offered to be the Boss, I thought it was a great chance to still be involved in what I love and always done, but not be fully involved.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9412.  
  9413.  
  9414.  
  9415. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  9418. &lt;/div&gt;
  9419. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  9422. &lt;div&gt;
  9423. &lt;p&gt;The pair met back in 2021 while Charlotte was getting over her break-up with ex-boyfriend Liam Beaumont.&lt;/p&gt;
  9424. &lt;p&gt;They were introduced by mutual friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  9425. &lt;p&gt;Charlotte and Jake then went official with their relationship in January 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  9426. &lt;p&gt;The following month the Geordie Shore star found out she was pregnant.&lt;/p&gt;
  9427. &lt;p&gt;Charlotte and Jake revealed they were expecting in April 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  9428. &lt;p&gt;They welcomed baby Alba-Jean into the world in October that year.&lt;/p&gt;
  9429. &lt;p&gt;In November 2023 the couple got engaged.&lt;/p&gt;
  9430. &lt;/div&gt;
  9431. &lt;/div&gt;

  9498.  
  9499.  
  9500.  
  9501. &lt;p&gt;Billy Monger, 25, who has a glowing career in racing, is the sixth and final celebrity to have been announced.&lt;/p&gt;
  9502.  
  9503.  
  9504.  
  9505. &lt;p&gt;The racing driver is also a sports commentator and disability activist, who had both his legs amputated after an accident.&lt;/p&gt;
  9506.  
  9507.  
  9508.  
  9509. &lt;p&gt;In April 2017, Billy was critically injured in a collision at Donington Park that caused both of his legs to be amputated.&lt;/p&gt;
  9510.  
  9511.  
  9512.  
  9513. &lt;p&gt;Billy also previously competed on the first celebrity special of Race Across The World alongside his sister Bonny.&lt;/p&gt;
  9514.  
  9515.  
  9516.  
  9517. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about joining the cast of Strictly for their Christmas special this year, Billy has confessed that the thought of donning sequins in front of the judging panel fills him with fear.&lt;/p&gt;
  9518.  
  9519.  
  9520.  
  9521. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’ve spent the last 12 months training 20 hours a week for an Ironman world record attempt. &lt;/p&gt;
  9522.  
  9523.  
  9524.  
  9525. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But the thought of donning sequins in front of Craig Revel Horwood fills me with a fear I’ve never experienced before,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  9526.  
  9527.  
  9528.  
  9529. &lt;p&gt;He went on to say, &amp;#8220;This is about as far from my comfort zone as it can get! &lt;/p&gt;
  9530.  
  9531.  
  9532.  
  9533. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My family are big Strictly fans, so I’m doing it for them and to raise awareness for what I’m doing for Comic Relief next year. &lt;/p&gt;
  9534.  
  9535.  
  9536.  
  9537. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m just hoping my leg doesn’t fall off mid-dance!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9565. &lt;p&gt;Billy will be performing with a fan-favourite professional dancer this Christmas, and it&amp;#8217;s safe to say that viewers will likely be overjoyed.&lt;/p&gt;
  9566.  
  9567.  
  9568.

  9571.  
  9572.  
  9573. &lt;p&gt;Reacting to the news that Billy will star in this year&amp;#8217;s Christmas special, fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;
  9574.  
  9575.

  9588. On Christmas Day, Strictly Come Dancing will return for a festive special with six celebrities... but who are they and who will they be paired with &lt;/p&gt;
  9590. &lt;div&gt;
  9591. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The celebrities and their professional dance partners are&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9592. &lt;p&gt;Josh Widdicombe will be paired with Karen&lt;/p&gt;
  9593. &lt;p&gt;Tayce with Kai &lt;/p&gt;
  9594. &lt;p&gt;Vogue Williams with Carlos &lt;/p&gt;
  9595. &lt;p&gt;Harry Aikines-Aryeetey with Nancy &lt;/p&gt;
  9596. &lt;p&gt;Tamzin Outhwaite and Nikita&lt;/p&gt;
  9597. &lt;p&gt;Billy Monger with Nadiya&lt;/p&gt;
  9598. &lt;/div&gt;
  9599. &lt;/div&gt;
  9600. &lt;/div&gt;
  9602.  
  9603.  
  9604.  
  9605. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Love this. What a great guy,&amp;#8221; added a second.&lt;/p&gt;
  9606.  
  9607.  
  9608.  
  9609. &lt;p&gt;A third then pleaded, &amp;#8220;Excellent choice. I hope Billy does the whole strictly series!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9610.  
  9611.  
  9612.  
  9613. &lt;p&gt;While a fourth said, &amp;#8220;Loved Billy Monger on Race Across the World &amp;#8211; can’t wait to see him with Nadiya at Christmas!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9618.  
  9619.  
  9620.  
  9621. &lt;p&gt;This comes as the 2024 core series nears the end, which follows on from a fun-filled week at Blackpool.&lt;/p&gt;
  9622.  
  9623.  
  9624.  
  9625. &lt;p&gt;But the fun had to end for one of the couples, with Welsh Opera singer Wynne and his professional dance partner Katya becoming the eighth pair to be voted off Strictly at the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
  9626.  
  9627.  
  9628.

  9637. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Right decision but I&amp;#8217;m sad to see Wynne and Katya go. Katya&amp;#8217;s my fave pro and Wynne seems like a lovely man. &lt;/p&gt;
  9638.  
  9639.  
  9640.  
  9641. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I wish people wouldn&amp;#8217;t say &amp;#8216;thank god for that&amp;#8217; and &amp;#8216;it&amp;#8217;s about time&amp;#8217;, Wynne&amp;#8217;s deserved his place in the competition as much as everyone else. I&amp;#8217;ll miss him,&amp;#8221; penned one.&lt;/p&gt;

  9722.  
  9723.  
  9724.  
  9725. &lt;p&gt;The dupe comes in at only £14.99 and is available in two separate festive scents.&lt;/p&gt;
  9726.  
  9727.  
  9728.  
  9729. &lt;p&gt;Home Bargains describes the candle online, saying: &amp;#8220;Transform your holiday evenings into moments of pure comfort with our Luxury Spotted Scented Candle. &lt;/p&gt;
  9730.  
  9731.  
  9732.  
  9733. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Weighing 1.2kg, this beautifully crafted candle is designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a cosy night during the Christmas season.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  9757. &lt;p&gt;The candle &amp;#8211; a centrepiece for any home &amp;#8211; comes in a range of sizes with even the cheapest and smallest one being £40 more than in Home Bargains.&lt;/p&gt;

  9782.  
  9783.  
  9784.  
  9785. &lt;p&gt;For £230 shoppers can bag up a 5.2kg candle from the luxury retailer with the priciest option &amp;#8211; a hefty 14 inch, 10.3kg scent &amp;#8211; being a staggering £475.&lt;/p&gt;
  9786.  
  9787.

  9789. &lt;p&gt;The smells are slightly different between the dupe and the branded alternative. &lt;/p&gt;
  9790.  
  9791.  
  9792.  
  9793. &lt;p&gt;But both candles feature main hints of ginger, rose and grapefruit. &lt;/p&gt;
  9794.  
  9795.  
  9796.  
  9797. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; was soon flooded with videos on the dupe as more and more people discovered the bargain find.&lt;/p&gt;
  9798.  
  9799.  
  9800.  
  9801. &lt;p&gt;Dozens of eager shoppers quickly snapped up the wallet friendly gift with many leaving reviews of the item online.&lt;/p&gt;
  9802.  
  9803.  
  9804.  
  9805. &lt;p&gt;One proudly labelled it &amp;#8220;great value for money&amp;#8221; as many more made it clear they planned on heading to their nearest Home Bargains to get the candle.&lt;/p&gt;
  9806.  
  9807.  
  9808.  
  9809. &lt;p&gt;Another said: &amp;#8220;As someone who spent £700 on Baobab candles.. I wish i&amp;#8217;d of waited just a year longer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9810.  
  9811.  
  9812.  
  9813. &lt;p&gt;As a third wrote: &amp;#8220;Okay I&amp;#8217;m running to home bargains tomorrow! Need the black speckle one immediately.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  9814.  
  9815.  
  9816.  
  9817. &lt;p&gt;Social media detectives also quickly realised that Home Bargains sell the elegant scents in matching diffusers.&lt;/p&gt;
  9818.  
  9819.  
  9820.  
  9821. &lt;p&gt;Despite the mega bargains on offer at Home Bargains, shoppers have been urged to shop around to look for the best value products as stores and prices are constantly changing. &lt;/p&gt;
  9822.  
  9823.  
  9824.  
  9825. &lt;p&gt;It comes as money-savvy shoppers rushed to Home Bargains to buy even more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31488792/home-bargain-festive-candles-sell-out/&quot;&gt;candles and diffusers that create a festive atmosphere&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  9828.  
  9829. &lt;p&gt;One customer raved that they had been “waiting all year” for the budget-friendly retailer’s most coveted scent.&lt;/p&gt;

  9926.  
  9927. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Cops &lt;/a&gt;said they believed her husband Pankaj Lamba, 23, was responsible for the killing and had since fled the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  9928.  
  9929.  
  9930.  
  9931. &lt;p&gt;The fresh CCTV grabs show Lamba and Harshita together in the area of a boating lake on Sunday, November 10.&lt;/p&gt;
  9932.  
  9933.  
  9934.  
  9935. &lt;p&gt;Detectives believe Harshita was murdered the same evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  9936.  
  9937.  
  9938.  
  9939. &lt;p&gt;The pair appear to have been last spotted at Corby Boating Lake, on Cottingham Road and Westcott Way. &lt;/p&gt;
  9940.  
  9941.  
  9942.  
  9943. &lt;p&gt;Officers confirmed they have searched the site as part of their ongoing investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  9944.  
  9945.  
  9946.  
  9947. &lt;p&gt;Detectives also appealed to anyone who was in that area between 6pm and 9pm on Sunday. &lt;/p&gt;
  9948.  
  9949.  
  9950.  
  9951. &lt;p&gt;Northamptonshire Police previously attended Harshita&amp;#8217;s address on November 13 after receiving a call regarding concerns for her welfare.&lt;/p&gt;
  9952.  
  9953.  
  9954.  
  9955. &lt;p&gt;After the grim discovery in the capital the following morning, a forensic postmortem examination carried out at Leicester Royal Infirmary gave the preliminary cause of death as strangulation.&lt;/p&gt;
  9956.  
  9957.  
  9958.  
  9959. &lt;p&gt;They suspect Lamba transported Harshita’s body from Corby to Ilford by car after killing her.&lt;/p&gt;
  9960.  
  9961.  
  9962.  
  9963. &lt;p&gt;The vehicle was left parked in Brisbane Road, Ilford, and detectives believe Lamba then fled the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  9964.  
  9965.  
  9966.  
  9967. &lt;p&gt;Detectives have been trawling through hours of CCTV footage in Corby and Illford. &lt;/p&gt;
  9968.  
  9969.  
  9970.  
  9971. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this week, the force released images of Mr Lamba in the Ilford area and issued an urgent appeal for information.&lt;/p&gt;
  9972.  
  9973.  
  9974.  
  9975. &lt;p&gt;They are now urging anyone who was in the Cottingham Road area of Corby on the evening of Sunday, November 10, who may have dashcam footage or other information to come forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  9976.  
  9977.  
  9978.  
  9979. &lt;p&gt;Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell from the East Midlands Special Operations Major Crime Unit (EMSOU), said: “Our inquiries have established that Pankaj and Harshita were in the area of the boating lake on Sunday evening, and as part of our ongoing investigation we have carried out searches in the surrounding area.&lt;/p&gt;

  9992.  
  9993.  
  9994.  
  9995. &lt;p&gt;“We know that it’s a busy part of the town and there will have been a lot of passing traffic. As such, we’re appealing to anyone who was in Corby between 6pm and 9pm on Sunday, November 10, specifically in the area around the Corby Boating Lake, Cottingham Road and Westcott Way.&lt;/p&gt;
  9996.  
  9997.  
  9998.  
  9999. &lt;p&gt;“If you have any dashcam footage, or other information that may be relevant to the investigation, however small, please contact us as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  10000.  
  10001.  
  10002.  
  10003. &lt;p&gt;“Any information you have may help us piece together exactly what happened to Harshita and help bring her killer to justice.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10004.  
  10005.  
  10006.  
  10007. &lt;p&gt;Assistant Chief Constable Emma James said: “Following Harshita’s death, Northamptonshire Police reviewed the Force’s handling of an investigation which was launched following a domestic abuse allegation by Harshita Brella on August 29. &lt;/p&gt;
  10008.  
  10009.  
  10010.  
  10011. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The investigation was owned by a specialist detective from within the Domestic Abuse Investigation Team.&lt;/p&gt;
  10012.  
  10013.  
  10014.  
  10015. &lt;p&gt;“Harshita was identified as being at high risk of domestic abuse and was immediately assigned an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA). A referral was also made to the MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference), sharing information with partners and collectively formulating a safety plan. &lt;/p&gt;
  10016.  
  10017.  
  10018.  
  10019. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Harshita was placed in a refuge and visited and contacted by officers on a number of occasions throughout the investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  10020.  
  10021.  
  10022.  
  10023. &lt;p&gt;“The alleged perpetrator was identified, quickly arrested and bailed with conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  10024.  
  10025.  
  10026.  
  10027. &lt;p&gt;“Northamptonshire Police actively sought and obtained a Domestic Violence Protection Notice (DVPN) and a Domestic Violence Protection Order was authorised at Northampton Magistrates Court on September 5 which remained in place for 28 days whilst the investigations continued against the alleged perpetrator.&lt;/p&gt;
  10028.  
  10029.  
  10030.  
  10031. &lt;p&gt;“This case has been referred for a Domestic Homicide Review which will seek to identify any learning.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10032.  
  10033.  
  10034.  
  10035. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Harshita&amp;#8217;s heartbroken family revealed she &amp;#8220;didn&amp;#8217;t lead a happy life&amp;#8221; in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  10036.  
  10037.  
  10038.  
  10039. &lt;p&gt;Dad Satbir Brella demanded &amp;#8220;justice&amp;#8221; for his daughter from the family home in Delhi, India.&lt;/p&gt;
  10040.  
  10041.  
  10042.  
  10043. &lt;p&gt;Her sister Sonia Dabas described how Harshita was &amp;#8220;very excited&amp;#8221; to move to the UK in April following an arranged marriage with Lamba.&lt;/p&gt;
  10044.  
  10045.  
  10046.  
  10047. &lt;p&gt;Her father told &lt;a aria-label=&quot;the BBC (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7v3q8l7r43o&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the BBC&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;I want my son-in-law to be brought to justice and I want my daughter&amp;#8217;s body brought home.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10048.  
  10049.  
  10050.  
  10051. &lt;p&gt;Harshita&amp;#8217;s mother Sudesh Kumari added: &amp;#8220;I just want justice for my daughter.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10052.  
  10053.  
  10054.  
  10055. &lt;p&gt;Ms Dabas said her sister &amp;#8220;didn&amp;#8217;t live a very happy life in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8220;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10056.  
  10057.  
  10058.  
  10059. &lt;p&gt;She continued: &amp;#8220;She struggled a lot because of her husband. She said he was hitting her and she escaped.&lt;/p&gt;
  10060.  
  10061.  
  10062.  
  10063. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She ran out on the streets, he chased after her and hit her there as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10064.  
  10065.  
  10066.  
  10067. &lt;p&gt;Sonia&amp;#8217;s husband Tarun Dabas wrote on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Our world has been turned upside down.&lt;/p&gt;
  10068.  
  10069.  
  10070.  
  10071. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Harshita Brella just 24 years old was found murdered in the boot of a car in East London. Her husband Pankaj Lamba is the main suspect.&lt;/p&gt;
  10072.  
  10073.  
  10074.  
  10075. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He has now fled the country and an international manhunt is underway.&lt;/p&gt;
  10076.

  10086. Women&amp;#039;s Aid has this advice for victims and their families: &lt;/p&gt;
  10088. &lt;div&gt;
  10089. &lt;ul&gt;
  10090. &lt;li&gt;Always keep your phone nearby.&lt;/li&gt;
  10091. &lt;li&gt;Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.&lt;/li&gt;
  10092. &lt;li&gt;If you are in danger, call 999.&lt;/li&gt;
  10093. &lt;li&gt;Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.&lt;/li&gt;
  10094. &lt;li&gt;Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.&lt;/li&gt;
  10095. &lt;li&gt;If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.&lt;/li&gt;
  10096. &lt;li&gt;Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.&lt;/li&gt;
  10097. &lt;/ul&gt;
  10098. &lt;p&gt;If you are a ­victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200. The charity’s email support ­service is open weekdays and weekends during the crisis –&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:messageinfo@supportline.org.uk&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;messageinfo@supportline.org.uk&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10099. &lt;p&gt;Women’s Aid provides a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.womensaid.org.uk/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;live chat service&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; available weekdays&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;8am-6pm&amp;nbsp;and weekends 10am-6pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  10100. &lt;p&gt;You can also call the freephone 24-hour ­National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.&lt;/p&gt;
  10101. &lt;/div&gt;
  10102. &lt;/div&gt;
  10103. &lt;/div&gt;
  10105.  
  10106.  
  10107.  
  10108. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re calling on the UK and Indian governments to act swiftly to capture him. Harshita deserves justice. Her voice must be heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  10109.  
  10110.  
  10111.  
  10112. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Please help us seek #JusticeForHarshitaBrella. Please help to find the suspect.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10113.  
  10114.  
  10115.  
  10116. &lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31776797/harshita-brella-pankaj-lamba-ilford-corby/&quot;&gt;neighbour revealed she heard two blistering rows&lt;/a&gt;, one involving a woman who &amp;#8220;sounded scared&amp;#8221;, in the days before her body was discovered.&lt;/p&gt;
  10117.  
  10118.  
  10119.  
  10120. &lt;p&gt;Kelly Philp, Harshita&amp;#8217;s neighbour in Corby, said she overheard an argument between a man and a woman on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  10121.  
  10122.  
  10123.  
  10124. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They were arguing in a different language so I couldn&amp;#8217;t understand what was being said,&amp;#8221; the 41-year-old told the Daily Mirror.&lt;/p&gt;
  10125.  
  10126.  
  10127.  
  10128. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But it sounded angry and there were raised voices and the woman sounded scared.&lt;/p&gt;
  10129.  
  10130.  
  10131.  
  10132. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I heard a commotion between a man and a woman and I heard banging around.&lt;/p&gt;
  10133.  
  10134.  
  10135.  
  10136. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I didn&amp;#8217;t call police. I just thought it was a relationship argument.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10137.  
  10138.  
  10139.  
  10140. &lt;p&gt;She described feeling &amp;#8220;vulnerable&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;on edge&amp;#8221; after learning about the fate of her neighbour.&lt;/p&gt;
  10141.  
  10142.  
  10143.  
  10144. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I feel so sad about the loss of the lass. I can&amp;#8217;t get over it,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t believe it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10145.  
  10146.  
  10147.  
  10148. &lt;p&gt;Ms Philip said she had also overheard two men arguing in a foreign language early on Saturday, shortly after she heard a back gate slam shut.&lt;/p&gt;

  10219.  
  10220. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31798957/luke-littler-nine-darter-challenge/&quot;&gt;Littler&lt;/a&gt;, 17, has soared from&amp;nbsp;No164 to No5 after becoming only the fourth player ever to win&amp;nbsp;ten titles in a PDC calendar year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10221.  
  10222.  
  10223.  
  10224. &lt;p&gt;But before the Nuke&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31772768/luke-littler-grand-slam-of-darts-martin-lukeman/&quot;&gt;16-3 triumph over Martin Lukeman&lt;/a&gt; in Sunday&amp;#8217;s Slam final, there was controversy&amp;nbsp;in his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31790955/darts-luke-littler-news-mike-de-decker-poker/&quot;&gt;10-9 last-16 success over Mike De Decker&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10225.  
  10226.  
  10227.  
  10228. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31731948/de-decker-fumes-at-darts-ref-littler/&quot;&gt;Netherlands ace was upset by the crowd whistling&lt;/a&gt; at key moments.&lt;/p&gt;
  10229.  
  10230.  
  10231.  
  10232. &lt;p&gt;He was then even more frustrated when referee&amp;nbsp;Kirk Bevins refused to tell fans to curb such behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
  10233.  
  10234.  
  10235.  
  10236. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s no suggestion&amp;nbsp;Bevins&amp;#8217; decision was anything to do with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31856137/luke-littler-darts-world-championship-wayne-mardle-prediction/&quot;&gt;Littler&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10237.  
  10238.  
  10239.  
  10240. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, the official insisted&amp;nbsp;the crowd might have whipped up their antics even more if he had intervened.&lt;/p&gt;
  10241.  
  10242.  
  10243.  
  10244. &lt;p&gt;However,&amp;nbsp;Van der Voort and Van Veen believe it is &amp;#8220;of course true&amp;#8221; that darts chiefs handle Littler extra&amp;nbsp;nicely.&lt;/p&gt;
  10245.  
  10246.  
  10247.  
  10248. &lt;p&gt;VDV, 48, told the podcast Darts Draait Door:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;If you look at what that boy brings in, in terms of extra sponsorship and money, you&amp;#8217;re treated differently.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10249.  
  10250.  
  10251.  
  10252. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31733019&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/2024/11/NINTCHDBPICT000949419955.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man wearing a shirt that says bulls on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31733019&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;911&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Taylor Lanning&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Mike De Decker was unhappy with the crowd and referee Kirk Bevins after he was whistled at crucial moments of of his 10-9 loss to Littler[/caption]

  10257.  
  10258.  
  10259.  
  10260. &lt;p&gt;Van Veen, 22, agreed, saying: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t find that so strange either &amp;#8211; that the absolute top is treated differently than the rest.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10261.  
  10262.  
  10263.  
  10264. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Grand Slam quarter-finalist revealed he himself benefited from better treatment &amp;#8211; but in the second&amp;nbsp;tier of darts, for players aged 16-23.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  10294.  
  10295.  
  10296. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re going to look for me one more time, that way. I could get more done on the Development Tour, other darters probably won&amp;#8217;t.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10300. &lt;p&gt;Littler was a &amp;#8220;nobody&amp;#8221; in terms of public profile 12 months ago &amp;#8211; now he&amp;#8217;s one of the most famous sporting teenagers in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

  10302.  
  10303.

  10317. LUKE LITTLER has taken the darts world by storm since exploding onto the scene at the PDC World Championship at the beginning of the year. &lt;/p&gt;
  10319. &lt;div&gt;
  10320. &lt;p&gt;The Nuke reached the final on his Ally Pally debut at just 16 years of age &amp;#8211; smashing records along the way.&lt;/p&gt;
  10321. &lt;p&gt;He has then gone on to win a host of PDC events and the Premier League title &amp;#8211; which he claimed at the O2 Arena by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28102034/luke-littler-wins-premier-league-darts-final-humphries///&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;beating world champion Luke Humphries in May&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10322. &lt;p&gt;He also finished his first season in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29950961/luke-littler-darts-world-number-one-new-zealand/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;World Series as the No1 ranked player&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10323. &lt;p&gt;He has joined Jude Bellingham on the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27205599/luke-littler-forbes-30-under-30-jude-bellingham/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10324. &lt;p&gt;And the teenage titan even had to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27113240/luke-littler-snub-wwe-london-invite/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;snub an invite from the WWE.

  10325. &lt;p&gt;The Sun &lt;a aria-label=&quot; exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire. (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27080877/luke-littler-trademark-name-fitness-darts/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10326. &lt;p&gt;He is also cashing in away from the Oche &lt;a aria-label=&quot;thanks to an Instagram side hustle. (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26916593/darts-luke-littler-clever-side-hustle/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;thanks to an Instagram side hustle.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10327. &lt;p&gt;And he&amp;#8217;s even the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/26399038/luke-littler-best-cereal-sidemen/&quot;&gt;face of a brand new cereal.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10328. &lt;p&gt;But he is newly single after &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29343504/luke-littler-breaks-silence-break-up-eloise/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;splitting from girlfriend Eloise Milburn&lt;/a&gt; following a 10-month relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

  10408. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RUBEN AMORIM can not only solve Marcus Rashford&amp;#8217;s form struggles but turn him into one of the Premier League&amp;#8217;s best again.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  10409.  
  10410.  
  10411.  
  10412. &lt;p&gt;Yet &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marcus-rashford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rashford&lt;/a&gt; must first buy into a fresh 3-4-3 philosophy, accept a subtle  positional change and desert his love for the left-wing. &lt;/p&gt;

  10429.  
  10430.  
  10431.  
  10432. &lt;p&gt;With many United players spending time away on international duty, including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rasmus-hojlund/&quot;&gt;Rasmus Hojlund&lt;/a&gt;, Rashford would be wise to make use of the extra time spent on the training ground with new boss Amorim.&lt;/p&gt;
  10433.  
  10434.  
  10435.  
  10436. &lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old has endured some topsy-turvy years after he burst onto the scene in 2016, failing to hit the heights of his 2022-23 season where he scored 30 goals in all competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  10437.  
  10438.  
  10439.  
  10440. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ruben-amorim/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Amorim&lt;/a&gt;, 39, is tasked with bringing Rashford&amp;#8217;s magic touch back, with the forward scoring just once in 12 Prem games this season.  &lt;/p&gt;
  10441.  
  10442.  
  10443.  
  10444. &lt;p&gt;But how will the new manager, with the confidence of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jose-mourinho/&quot;&gt;Jose Mourinho&lt;/a&gt; and the flare of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pep-guardiola/&quot;&gt;Pep Guardiola&lt;/a&gt;, bring the best of out of Rashford?&lt;/p&gt;
  10445.  
  10446.  
  10447.  
  10448. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Marcus Rashford&amp;#8217;s resurrection &lt;/h2&gt;
  10449.  
  10450.  
  10451.  
  10452. &lt;p&gt;A player of Rashford&amp;#8217;s quality shouldn&amp;#8217;t be written off, but the United academy star must open his heart up to a 3-4-3 formation. &lt;/p&gt;
  10453.  
  10454.  
  10455.  
  10456. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/marcus-rashford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rashford&lt;/a&gt; must let go of his hopes of hanging out on the left-hand side, as Amorim will &lt;strong&gt;NOT &lt;/strong&gt;use two out-and-out wingers, but will instead play with an attacking left-wing back.&lt;/p&gt;
  10457.  
  10458.  
  10459.  
  10460. &lt;p&gt;Amorim looks set to build two differently profiled so-called No 10s &amp;#8211; and Rashford must become one alongside captain &lt;span id=&quot;a2145ed5-0ad2-4807-8750-38a8a0872ade&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Bruno&lt;/span&gt; Fernandes.&lt;/p&gt;
  10461.  
  10462.  
  10463.  
  10464. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bruno-fernandes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fernandes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216; talents mean he&amp;#8217;ll pick up the ball-playing No 10 role, leaving Rashford as the &lt;span id=&quot;05957440-d53b-4468-af2d-f114dce951f6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;driving&lt;/span&gt; central player, who runs off the No 9.&lt;/p&gt;
  10465.  
  10466.  
  10467.  
  10468. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31864697&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/2024/11/GFX-TACTICAL-2-RASHFORD-POSITION-CHANGE-PART-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a soccer field with manchester united jerseys on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31864697&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Winger Rashford must become a No.10 &amp;#8211; but not necessarily a ball-playing one&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  10469.  
  10470.  
  10471.  
  10472. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Rashford could also be reinvented as a central &lt;span id=&quot;ab6dfed6-ff9a-415e-9cb7-7f106600cf6f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;striker&lt;/span&gt; with two close 10s to support him, but Hojlund is more likely to thrive in this role.&lt;/p&gt;
  10473.  
  10474.  
  10475.  
  10476. &lt;p&gt;The England star is used to playing in a 4-3-2-1 formation or as a striker in counter attacking side, so things will have to change.&lt;/p&gt;
  10477.  
  10478.  
  10479.  
  10480. &lt;p&gt;But if Rashford buys into it early, and focuses on more assists than goals, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;United&lt;/a&gt; will have a Carrington graduate playing an important role in the club&amp;#8217;s future.&lt;/p&gt;

  10507.  
  10508. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Amorim&amp;#8217;s 3-4-3 formation&lt;/h2&gt;
  10509.  
  10510.  
  10511.  
  10512. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has a clear identity. And it seems almost certain that the Portuguese tactician will bring in his winning 3-4-3 structure to M16.&lt;/p&gt;
  10513.  
  10514.  
  10515.  
  10516. &lt;p&gt;He likes his teams to play through the thirds and to dominate possession when moving the ball out from the back.&lt;/p&gt;
  10517.  
  10518.  
  10519.  
  10520. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rasmus-hojlund/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hojlund&lt;/a&gt;, a player United haven&amp;#8217;t made the best use of, will likely be deployed at No 9.&lt;/p&gt;
  10521.  
  10522.  
  10523.  
  10524. &lt;p&gt;At Sporting, the formation and style has been built around a mobile, big, physical runner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/viktor-gyokeres/&quot;&gt;Viktor Gyokere&lt;/a&gt;s &amp;#8211; and Hojlund can ease into that role.&lt;/p&gt;
  10525.  
  10526.  
  10527.  
  10528. &lt;p&gt;Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez, &lt;span id=&quot;73dae129-a24d-4df7-b18d-790a5546f0ad&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Matthijs de Ligt&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/casemiro/&quot;&gt;Casemiro&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span id=&quot;1ec81a13-a44a-489a-bba9-7edf4735a949&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Kobbie Mainoo&lt;/span&gt; and Manuel Ugarte all slot into their respective roles. &lt;/p&gt;
  10529.  
  10530.  
  10531.  
  10532. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865027&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/2024/11/3-4-3.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a soccer field with manchester united jerseys on mannequins&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865027&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;579&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;United are set to adopt Amorim&amp;#8217;s preferred 3-4-3 formation&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  10533.  
  10534.  
  10535.  
  10536. &lt;p&gt;And £52million &lt;span id=&quot;e3c00530-fd97-4cc1-abfb-b9ce5316b165&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt; signing&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/leny-yoro/&quot;&gt;Leny Yoro&lt;/a&gt; has been spotted training at the right hand side of the back three in training clips this week. &lt;/p&gt;
  10537.  
  10538.  
  10539.  
  10540. &lt;p&gt;What is more constant is that in his 3-4-3 formation, attacking wing-backs are key in all thirds of the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
  10541.  
  10542.  
  10543.  
  10544. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has used two defensive midfielders to cover for his wing-backs &amp;#8211; who push high up the pitch and stay wide to form a 3-4-2-1.&lt;/p&gt;
  10545.  
  10546.  
  10547.  
  10548. &lt;p&gt;This also allows his two attacking midfielders to drop into pockets behind a lone &lt;span id=&quot;8d234c9a-ef57-4e67-ae11-4ae7dfbb7c4f&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;striker&lt;/span&gt; while still stretching the opposition’s backline.&lt;/p&gt;
  10549.  
  10550.  
  10551.

  10555.  
  10556. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Wing and a prayer&lt;/h2&gt;
  10557.  
  10558.  
  10559.  
  10560. &lt;p&gt;Amorim places his wing-backs right up in the attacking areas of the pitch, giving them full freedom of in the flanks.&lt;/p&gt;
  10561.  
  10562.  
  10563.  
  10564. &lt;p&gt;It will become a 3-2-5 in attack, where the wing-backs are expected to push up in different profiles.&lt;/p&gt;
  10565.  
  10566.  
  10567.  
  10568. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alejandro-garnacho/&quot;&gt;Alejandro Garnacho&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/amad-diallo/&quot;&gt;Amad Diallo&lt;/a&gt; and even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/antony/&quot;&gt;Antony&lt;/a&gt; could be eased into a wing-back role, as all three have the ability to take on their man in a 1 v 1. &lt;/p&gt;
  10569.

  10593.

  10604. &lt;p&gt;It looks like the out-field players will be limited to only two touches before passing it in a zig-zag if they can&amp;#8217;t turn, until a channel of space opens up. &lt;/p&gt;

  10622.  
  10623.  
  10624. &lt;p&gt;With the Red Devils looking to start from defence, Mainoo’s role as a deep playmaker has become even more important.&lt;/p&gt;

  10629.  
  10630.  
  10631.  
  10632. &lt;p&gt;Mainoo fits in nicely &lt;span id=&quot;c6042f5a-5363-4a85-95d6-fa736ecf0249&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; to all-action &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manuel-ugarte/&quot;&gt;Manuel Ugarte&lt;/a&gt;, who prefers to be tasked with breaking up play. &lt;/p&gt;

  10645.  
  10646.  
  10647.  
  10648. &lt;p&gt;But all players will expected to get up and down quickly and bust a gut to get back, which has not been witnessed in United games of late. &lt;/p&gt;
  10649.  
  10650.  
  10651.

  10666.  
  10667.  
  10668. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10669. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10670. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man Utd&lt;/h3&gt;
  10671. &lt;/div&gt;
  10672. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10673. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content-img&quot;&gt;

  10677. &lt;div&gt;
  10678. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/jordan-davies/&quot;&gt;Jordan Davies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10679. &lt;p&gt;Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.&lt;/p&gt;
  10680. &lt;p&gt;But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  10681. &lt;p&gt;Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.&lt;/p&gt;
  10682. &lt;p&gt;He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10683. &lt;p&gt;The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.&lt;/p&gt;
  10684. &lt;p&gt;And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.&lt;/p&gt;
  10685. &lt;p&gt;Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.&lt;/p&gt;
  10686. &lt;p&gt;Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.&lt;/p&gt;
  10687. &lt;p&gt;United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won&amp;#8217;t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10688. &lt;p&gt;And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.&lt;/p&gt;
  10689. &lt;p&gt;For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.&lt;/p&gt;
  10690. &lt;/div&gt;
  10691. &lt;/div&gt;

  10737. &lt;p&gt;AS we head towards Christmas, parents will be preparing by heading out to stores to buy decorations, presents, and gift wrapping.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10738.  
  10739.  
  10740.  
  10741. &lt;p&gt;Also on their list will be end-of-year presents for their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;child&amp;#8217;s teacher.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  10748.  
  10749. &lt;p&gt;However, this can often leave parents wondering if their gift is appropriate or sufficient, adding another stress to the festive season.&lt;/p&gt;
  10750.  
  10751.  
  10752.  
  10753. &lt;p&gt;According to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mumsnet/&quot;&gt;Mumsnet&lt;/a&gt; survey, 45 per cent of parents buy gifts for their children&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/teachers/&quot;&gt;teachers&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;, despite many teachers not expecting presents.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10754.  
  10755.  
  10756.  
  10757. &lt;p&gt;Whether it&amp;#8217;s a bottle of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt;, chocolates, or a &amp;#8216;my favourite teacher&amp;#8217; mug, parents can be torn between what won’t be a waste of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10758.  
  10759.  
  10760.  
  10761. &lt;p&gt;But luckily, some teachers have set the record straight to make it easier for other parents.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10762.  
  10763.  
  10764.  
  10765. &lt;p&gt;One mum took to the Facebook group &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/familylowdown/permalink/2387933401650660&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Family lowdown tips and ideas  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Family lowdown tips and ideas &lt;/a&gt;to ask for help.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  10778.  
  10779.  
  10780.  
  10781. &lt;p&gt;Many teachers raced to the comments section to share their thoughts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10782.  
  10783.  
  10784.  
  10785. &lt;p&gt;“I would much prefer a card with a heartfelt message or something homemade than my class spending money on me honestly,” one teacher wrote.&lt;/p&gt;

  10809. &lt;p&gt;A second commented: “Firstly, it is genuinely true that a card with a &lt;span id=&quot;4826b09f-4a97-444a-ae55-0f99ef695df4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; message is the most special thing (I keep all mine and read them when having a tough time to remind me of my &amp;#8216;why&amp;#8217;).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  10910. &lt;div&gt;
  10911. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/23765601/school-teacher-mums-drive-us-crazy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Secret Schoolteacher&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10912. &lt;p&gt;I STARTED working in schools in 1996, when parents respected teachers and left us alone to do our jobs. Not any more.&lt;/p&gt;
  10913. &lt;p&gt;Nowadays parents think nothing of barging into&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/schools/&quot;&gt;schools&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;to read teachers the riot act if their precious child has been told off, or they’ll send angry emails in the middle of the night. Warning — it doesn’t make you popular.&lt;/p&gt;
  10914. &lt;p&gt;I’ve worked in all manner of schools across the south west of England, from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1781887/what-is-state-school-uk-different-private/&quot;&gt;state schools to private&lt;/a&gt;, and I can tell you that right now many teachers are dreading the start of the new school year.&lt;/p&gt;
  10915. &lt;p&gt;They’re braced for tears and tantrums, not just from their pupils but from their parents too.&lt;/p&gt;
  10916. &lt;p&gt;Believe me, if you are an annoying parent it will spread round the staff room like wildfire.&lt;/p&gt;
  10917. &lt;p&gt;So whether it’s your kid’s first day at a new school, or they’re moving up a year, these are the things you do that drive teachers crazy . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  10918. &lt;p&gt;Parents often turn up at the school gates complaining how frazzled they are, moaning that teachers must have had a nice long holiday while their&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/4074102/kids-and-teachers-share-their-excitement-at-having-six-weeks-off-but-spare-a-thought-for-the-poor-parents/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;six weeks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;stuck with the kids was the worst.&lt;/p&gt;
  10919. &lt;p&gt;Nothing could be further from the truth. For the first two weeks I’ll almost certainly have been struck down by a lurgy which always seems to strike on the first day of the holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
  10920. &lt;p&gt;The next two weeks might have been an actual holiday, just like the average Brit takes in the summer, followed by two weeks of frantic lesson planning and administration.&lt;/p&gt;
  10921. &lt;p&gt;Also, consider that I’ve probably been working over 50 hours per week during term time. Contrary to popular opinion, we don’t clock off at 3pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  10922. &lt;p&gt;Instead, we’re roped into all manner of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/17611697/parenting-expert-what-child-after-school-meltdowns-mean/&quot;&gt;after-school activities&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and meetings before going home to do marking and more lesson planning. Please don’t turn up and make sarcastic remarks about our “six weeks off”.&lt;/p&gt;
  10923. &lt;p&gt;We won’t be happy.&lt;/p&gt;
  10924. &lt;/div&gt;
  10925. &lt;/div&gt;
  10926. &lt;/div&gt;
  10928.  
  10929.  
  10930.  
  10931. &lt;p&gt;“I’m happy with a nice thank you note but I know &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/29292726/best-teacher-gift-year-affordable-cara-de-la-hoyde/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;some parents like to get something.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10932.  
  10933.  
  10934.  
  10935. &lt;p&gt;“Go with something useful! I like pens and stationery. Preferably pens that have green ink as that is the colour I mark in.&lt;/p&gt;
  10936.  
  10937.  
  10938.  
  10939. &lt;p&gt;“I really don’t like mugs or anything personalised (I’m allergic to tea and coffee and the last personalised set I got had my name spelled wrong so I felt bad they’d spent money on it) but I did get a costa gift card last year that took me and hubby out for cake.&lt;/p&gt;
  10940.  
  10941.  
  10942.  
  10943. &lt;p&gt;“Chocolate and wine is always welcome but again, these things cost money that parents don’t always have so a nice card or picture drawn by the child is lovely.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10944.  
  10945.  
  10946.  
  10947. &lt;p&gt;However, for those who have allergies, then parents are urged to opt for a gift card.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10948.  
  10949.  
  10950.  
  10951. &lt;p&gt;A teacher explained: “I’d avoid drink and food because of allergies. I’m a teacher and while any gift is nice, I cannot use most of the gifts I get because of allergies!&lt;/p&gt;
  10952.  
  10953.  
  10954.  
  10955. &lt;p&gt;“I’d prefer a gift card! Supermarkets, Boots, Amazon etc.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10956.  
  10957.  
  10958.  
  10959. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10960. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10961. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Should you buy a teacher a gift?&lt;/h3&gt;
  10962. &lt;/div&gt;

  10967. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  10968. IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child&amp;#039;s teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further... &lt;/p&gt;
  10970. &lt;div&gt;
  10971. &lt;p&gt;As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/sarah-bull/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sarah Bull&lt;/a&gt; weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids&amp;#8217; teachers a present to mark the end of term.&lt;/p&gt;
  10972. &lt;p&gt;Sarah said: &amp;#8220;It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school.&lt;/p&gt;
  10973. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids&amp;#8217; teachers too.&lt;/p&gt;
  10974. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business.&lt;/p&gt;
  10975. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation.&lt;/p&gt;
  10976. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;After all &amp;#8211; I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day &amp;#8211; so don&amp;#8217;t they deserve a token of appreciation?&lt;/p&gt;
  10977. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I also wouldn&amp;#8217;t want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers.&lt;/p&gt;
  10978. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I&amp;#8217;ll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I&amp;#8217;ll be buying for.&lt;/p&gt;
  10979. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&amp;amp;M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10980. &lt;/div&gt;
  10981. &lt;/div&gt;

  11012.

  11014.  
  11015. &lt;p&gt;WET and miserable weather can make it tricky to plan affordable days out.&lt;/p&gt;
  11016.  
  11017.  
  11018.  
  11019. &lt;p&gt;However, having fun while staying dry need not break the bank.&lt;/p&gt;
  11020.  
  11021.  
  11022.  
  11023. &lt;p&gt;Here are a few ways to save on indoor activities.&lt;/p&gt;
  11024.  
  11025.  
  11026.  
  11027. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JUMP ON A TRAIN:&lt;/strong&gt; If you have small children, taking a trip on the train can be an adventure in itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  11028.  
  11029.  
  11030.  
  11031. &lt;p&gt;A Family &amp;amp; Friends Railcard costs £30 and it will save you a third on adult fares and 60 per cent on kids’ ones throughout the UK for a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  11032.  
  11033.  
  11034.  
  11035. &lt;p&gt;Look for nearby towns to visit, with free museums or simply grab a coffee and cake at your destination before returning.&lt;/p&gt;
  11036.  
  11037.  
  11038.  
  11039. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CATCH A MOVIE: &lt;/strong&gt;Stay cosy inside and catch the latest new films including Gladiator II, Wicked and Moana 2.&lt;/p&gt;
  11040.  
  11041.  
  11042.  
  11043. &lt;p&gt;If you often visit cinemas, you could save on ticket costs with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cineworld/&quot;&gt;Cineworld&lt;/a&gt; Unlimited’s annual membership.&lt;/p&gt;

  11050.  
  11051. &lt;p&gt;Members can watch as many films as they like without paying booking fees. &lt;/p&gt;
  11052.  
  11053.  
  11054.

  11317. &lt;p&gt;Loretta said: &amp;#8220;I wouldn&amp;#8217;t say I thought something like this would happen but it all sort of started when she was about six, she used to go into the kitchen and do these videos&amp;#8230;She always had something, we didn&amp;#8217;t know what it was and we didn&amp;#8217;t know if it would progress. &lt;/p&gt;
  11318.  
  11319.  
  11320.  
  11321. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s always been very good with one liners, the one liner queen! &lt;/p&gt;
  11322.  
  11323.  
  11324.  
  11325. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So there was always something there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11333. &lt;p&gt;Grace was one of the 12 contestants to head Down Under for the 2024 series of I&amp;#8217;m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here. &lt;/p&gt;
  11334.  
  11335.  
  11336.  
  11337. &lt;p&gt;The star quickly became a fan-favourite but initially &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31827721/gk-barry-gasps-air-im-a-celeb-bushtucker-trial/&quot;&gt;struggled to adjust&lt;/a&gt; to living in the Jungle. &lt;/p&gt;
  11338.  
  11339.  
  11340.  
  11341. &lt;p&gt;Loretta has said that Grace is &amp;#8220;scared of everything&amp;#8221;  and revealed that her daughter won&amp;#8217;t even go into the family&amp;#8217;s loft, because she is scared of spiders. &lt;/p&gt;

  11350.  
  11351.  
  11352.  
  11353. &lt;p&gt;Loretta revealed on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/loose-women/&quot;&gt;Loose Women&lt;/a&gt; that Grace was bullied so badly at school that she would often &amp;#8220;come home and cry a lot&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  11354.  
  11355.  
  11356.  
  11357. &lt;p&gt;The podcaster&amp;#8217;s mum shared that she hopes Grace&amp;#8217;s success can show people that they can succeed, even if they are being bullied. &lt;/p&gt;
  11358.  
  11359.  
  11360.  
  11361. &lt;p&gt;Loretta also admitted that some of Grace&amp;#8217;s former bullies have got in touch with her after she became a success. &lt;/p&gt;
  11362.  
  11363.  
  11364.  
  11365. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;Funny that isn&amp;#8217;t it?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11376.  
  11377. &lt;p&gt;Grace is in a relationship with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31824016/gk-barry-girlfriend-ella-rutherford-footballer-im-a-celeb/&quot;&gt;England footballer Ella Rutherford&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11378.  
  11379.  
  11380.  
  11381. &lt;p&gt;Loretta is a big supporter of their relationship and told the Loose Women panellists about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31823473/gk-barry-coming-out-parents-girlfriend/&quot;&gt;meeting Ella for the first time&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  11386.  
  11387.  
  11388.  
  11389. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Grace said, ‘Mum, this is Ella…’ and we said, ‘Hi Ella’ and to be honest with you, I am so pleased that she’s found someone that is honest and kind and hardworking… As long as they&amp;#8217;re happy, I don’t care.” &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  11422. &lt;p&gt;FOUNDED in 1983 in Ghent, Belgium, R&amp;amp;S Records has been a cornerstone of electronic music for over 40 years. Helmed by Renaat Vandepapeliere and Sabine Maes, the label has consistently championed groundbreaking innovation and authenticity.&lt;/p&gt;
  11423.  
  11424.  
  11425.  
  11426. &lt;p&gt;From techno pioneers to contemporary, cutting-edge talent, R&amp;amp;S has built an impressive catalog of hits and diverse sounds that have shaped the music industry.&lt;/p&gt;
  11427.  
  11428.

  11430. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866199&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 746px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/untitled-track-1490010116-body-image-1490010777.jpg.webp?strip=all&amp;amp;w=736&quot; alt=&quot;in order to dance r &amp;amp; s records album cover&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866199&quot; width=&quot;736&quot; height=&quot;723&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Belgium&amp;#8217;s finest&amp;#8230; R&amp;amp;S Records&amp;#8230; In Order To Dance&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  11431.  
  11432.  
  11433.  
  11434. &lt;p&gt;Formative artists include Joey Beltram to Aphex Twin This pioneering spirit continues on R&amp;amp;S Records as it enters its fifth decade shaping electronic music with recent successes from talents including James Blake, Gabriels, Michael Anthony, Quiche, Chizawa Q, DJ Rum, Synkro, White and so much more. &lt;/p&gt;

  11439.  
  11440.  
  11441.  
  11442. &lt;p&gt;As we prepare to sit down with Renaat when we meet up with him in Belgium next month for an in-depth interview, which we will publish on these pages in due course, we asked him to talk us through ten big contemporary tracks from R&amp;amp;S Records to whet our appetites for the time being!&lt;/p&gt;
  11443.  
  11444.  
  11445.  
  11446. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Listen to the music Renaat selected for us and read what he had to say about the tracks below.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11447.  
  11448.  
  11449.  
  11450. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mikahl Anthony &amp;#8211; Vintage Collection &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Poetic R&amp;amp;B From St. Louis&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11451.  
  11452.  
  11453.  
  11454. &lt;p&gt;So around 2013/2014, I was sent an album “ Them People “ curated by Mikhal from a friend of mine and within two weeks you could download it but any information on him was gone, there was no information.&lt;/p&gt;
  11455.  
  11456.  
  11457.  
  11458. &lt;p&gt;It took me five years of looking non-stop every day to find him. Everyone was calling out in the web saying who the f**k is this guy? And then finally I found him and the next day I signed him while he was working on his album.&lt;/p&gt;
  11459.  
  11460.  
  11461.  
  11462. &lt;p&gt;During Corona, it was a wonderful time for me, and I was rethinking myself and all the things I&amp;#8217;ve done in the past, all the hundreds of labels I’ve worked for, but you can’t relive the past and I cannot always do the same things because my interest in music is too big, so I had to think about why I started and where am I going?&lt;/p&gt;
  11463.  
  11464.  
  11465.  
  11466. &lt;p&gt;And you know, I&amp;#8217;m an old guy. So, I grew up with Marvin Gaye, I grew up with James Brown, I grew up with Jimi Hendrix, I grew up with everything, with new wave, with punk.&lt;/p&gt;
  11467.  
  11468.  
  11469.  
  11470. &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s so much music that kids don&amp;#8217;t even know. Not that I know everything that&amp;#8217;s out, of course, there&amp;#8217;s brilliant music out there, but working on this album is something I wanted to do because it has this sort of Marvin Gaye vibe and it’s something I recognise from my past.&lt;/p&gt;
  11471.  
  11472.  
  11473.  
  11474. &lt;p&gt;On top of that, it&amp;#8217;s a very relevant album. It&amp;#8217;s a very poetic album, and he&amp;#8217;s touching lyric-wise some issues here, it is a fantastic album.&lt;/p&gt;
  11475.  
  11476.  
  11477.  
  11478. &lt;p&gt;I do miss Music with a message and this is a relevant album and I&amp;#8217;m so proud I have released this, he’s a filmmaker and it&amp;#8217;s one of my crown jewels.&lt;/p&gt;
  11479.  
  11480.  
  11481.  
  11482. &lt;p&gt;I have always tried to make R&amp;amp;S a label where the music and I have to be very real, to myself and let my heart speak, and if you don’t like it or it&amp;#8217;s not your thing I respect that.&lt;/p&gt;
  11483.  
  11484.  
  11485.  
  11486. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Vintage Collection&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/eg9CMcPW_3U?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  11490. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tainted Tazz &amp;#8211; Hit List &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Fresh new Hip Hop from our youngster from Texas&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11491.  
  11492.  
  11493.  
  11494. &lt;p&gt;So again, this song is a statement. It shows we&amp;#8217;re about everything, don’t put me in a box because I will tear the box apart and fight as long as I can. It shows we’re not part of the flock and that this is not about being arrogant, it’s about passion.&lt;/p&gt;
  11495.  
  11496.  
  11497.  
  11498. &lt;p&gt;So, one morning, about two years ago, I received a link from this young lady. She was 21 when she made it, and now she&amp;#8217;s 23, and when I heard it I thought f**king hell, this is raw, this is Public Enemy raw and we signed her.&lt;/p&gt;
  11499.  
  11500.  
  11501.  
  11502. &lt;p&gt;She’s sort of Little Sims in a way but from America and much younger. Also, as a lyricist, she&amp;#8217;s talking wild, and one thing she said to me was I&amp;#8217;m not competing with female rappers; I want to compete with the boys, and I thought, let&amp;#8217;s rock it, let’s go.&lt;/p&gt;
  11503.  
  11504.  
  11505.  
  11506. &lt;p&gt;And that&amp;#8217;s all that I needed to pull me over, and I’ll say okay, fine, If you want a challenge and a fight, I&amp;#8217;m in. It&amp;#8217;s that attitude of people that challenge themselves in a very competitive world and the rawness, which I do miss in a lot of music and everybody is so f**king scared to play it but the place will rock.&lt;/p&gt;
  11507.  
  11508.

  11515.  
  11516.  
  11517.  
  11518. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve always been a fan of Loxy and I&amp;#8217;ve put the track because I think it&amp;#8217;s such a beautiful, impactful drum and bass track. It&amp;#8217;s just wonderful. Everything is right. it has this beautiful voice and opening and it goes and it&amp;#8217;s lovely and then it goes into, to, to, to this dark jazzy rhythm at the end, it&amp;#8217;s, it&amp;#8217;s fucking insane.&lt;/p&gt;
  11519.  
  11520.  
  11521.  
  11522. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s also a nice story. You know, they had sent me some hip hop tracks where we released with great success. And I said, guys, I know, you know, for drum and bass, but let&amp;#8217;s start with fucking hip hop, you know, your, your fan base and community will, will, will be nuts. They will be saying, well, what&amp;#8217;s going on with him? And they said, no, no, no. I said, trust me. Let&amp;#8217;s do it. Um, but that&amp;#8217;s a part of the EP So I wanted to make, I wanted to add something accessible because I love that track so much is wow. What a track. Oh, what a f**king track!&lt;/p&gt;
  11523.

  11531.  
  11532.  
  11533.  
  11534. &lt;p&gt;I think the track is about a feeling and not worrying too much about what everyone has to say. Again, to bring him up, it reminds me of Quincy Jones, and I grew up with this guy. The arrangements, its feeling, its sound, It’s so complicated, it&amp;#8217;s not pushing your Ableton with preset sounds and doing the same as everything else. I want to feel a heart in music, I want to feel the honesty. It&amp;#8217;s a great track, but there is some organic musicality coming in, something jazzy.&lt;/p&gt;
  11535.  
  11536.  
  11537.  
  11538. &lt;p&gt;When making the track, we called in a jazz pianist I know. Something I really like is calling and combining my musician friends from all over the world, whether it be bass players or drummers, to try to bring that organic thing back, If your heart is open, it works!&lt;/p&gt;

  11547.  
  11548.  
  11549.  
  11550. &lt;p&gt;Dino Lenny is a very beautiful guy, that&amp;#8217;s why I signed him, he&amp;#8217;s such a beautiful heart. He was sending me the demo, and I am very involved in pushing the guys to places where they wouldn&amp;#8217;t even think to go which for them is insane but it works. He&amp;#8217;s a good DJ and it&amp;#8217;s a fun and quality track again. It&amp;#8217;s that relentless groove that just gives and gives, doesn&amp;#8217;t it? That&amp;#8217;s Lenny.&lt;/p&gt;
  11551.  
  11552.  
  11553.  
  11554. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Dino Lenny - Washington Street (R&amp;amp;S Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/2-20udAj4DA?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  11557.  
  11558. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andert Tysma &amp;#8211; Holland &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;For fans of Tangerine Dream &amp;amp; Modern Neo Classic&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11559.  
  11560.  
  11561.  
  11562. &lt;p&gt;Ander and Tisma Holland are very beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;
  11563.  
  11564.  
  11565.  
  11566. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s a doctor, a real doctor who still practices and as a hobby he toured with a lot of Dutch bands as a bass player, even on big stages at festivals.&lt;/p&gt;
  11567.  
  11568.  
  11569.  
  11570. &lt;p&gt;He wanted to do his own thing, and when he sent it to me, it was so pure, neoclassic, Tangerine Dream-ish quality, period. Again, I grew up with Tangerine Dreams, Klaus Schulze and all those guys, so for me, it&amp;#8217;s a reflection, but it&amp;#8217;s still fresh, and I don&amp;#8217;t hear much music like this often.&lt;/p&gt;
  11571.  
  11572.  
  11573.  
  11574. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtu&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Andert Tysma - Hana (Apollo Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/959mAJRuTiE?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  11577.  
  11578. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ada Kaleh &amp;#8211; Unravelling featuring Eric Leeds &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Sampling Fela Kutti&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11579.  
  11580.  
  11581.  
  11582. &lt;p&gt;Man, man, man. What a story. So He sends me the track and he samples Fela Kuti and I mean, I played Fela Kuti so much when I was young.&lt;/p&gt;
  11583.  
  11584.  
  11585.  
  11586. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s unreal. You know, he and Bob Marley are some of my big big heroes. So I told him, listen, dude, this is going to be totally impossible to get the green card on the sample but let me try.&lt;/p&gt;
  11587.  
  11588.  
  11589.  
  11590. &lt;p&gt;We cleared the whole thing in one day, and I couldn’t believe it, I had a Fela f**cking Kuti complete song on R&amp;amp;S, my hero. I couldn&amp;#8217;t believe it. And then I went to Eric Leeds, sax player for Prince and sent him the track to ask if he liked it and if he could put play in the Track and he said yes.&lt;/p&gt;
  11591.  
  11592.  
  11593.  
  11594. &lt;p&gt;And then two days we had it, I was like, Holy s**t! This is unreal, This is happening. It is just a magical thing that happened,&lt;/p&gt;
  11595.  
  11596.  
  11597.  
  11598. &lt;p&gt;I told Ada it would never be possible and then we had it . Twenty-four hours later, we had the track, and I looked at Sabine and thought this was not happening, this could not be real. I&amp;#8217;m so proud of it&lt;/p&gt;
  11599.  
  11600.  
  11601.  
  11602. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Ada Kaleh - Unravelling feat Eric Leeds (R&amp;amp;S Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/yOPad6_Rm5k?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  11603.  
  11604.  
  11605.  
  11606. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vromm &amp;#8211; Horizon &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Future electronics&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11607.  
  11608.  
  11609.  
  11610. &lt;p&gt;He is next level, man. It’s bold new electronic music, it&amp;#8217;s him and nobody else is going to do the same thing that he does.&lt;/p&gt;
  11611.  
  11612.  
  11613.  
  11614. &lt;p&gt;It starts weird, but you know, it&amp;#8217;s very playable if you have balls, and it goes into this very beautiful melody, which really opens the track into a completely different dimension. And this is what I want to hear, a range. Some of the stuff I hear I think I could do &amp;#8211; it may sound arrogant, but this I cannot do, you have to be on something or whatever!! &lt;/p&gt;
  11615.  
  11616.  
  11617.  
  11618. &lt;p&gt;This song is what I mean when I say this is what I want to do; this is what I want to have people make for R&amp;amp;S.&lt;/p&gt;
  11619.

  11623.  
  11624.  
  11625.  
  11626. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quicche &amp;#8211; White Teeth &amp;#8211;  &amp;#8220;For fans of Bon Iver &amp;#8211; from Germany&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11627.  
  11628.  
  11629.  
  11630. &lt;p&gt;David is a young guy, a very beautiful guy. He also comes from sort of a rock folk album in Germany, touring a little bit and he asked me if I was interested (in working with him) and I said of course I&amp;#8217;m interested.&lt;/p&gt;
  11631.  
  11632.  
  11633.  
  11634. &lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s in the same marketplace as Bon Iver, James Blake and all that. But what an album, what a debut album, and he looks good! He looks like Jim Morrison, he had this big hair and is a very beautiful guy. And in the video, he shaves it off.&lt;/p&gt;
  11635.  
  11636.  
  11637.  
  11638. &lt;p&gt;I think there is a great future for this guy.&lt;/p&gt;
  11639.  
  11640.  
  11641.  
  11642. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Quicche - White Teeth (R&amp;amp;S Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/WQP2qiGAmI0?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  11643.  
  11644.  
  11645.  
  11646. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viclan &amp;#8211; Self Manifest &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;A pure rhythm power &amp;#8211; Future dance electronics &amp;#8211; the way I like to BE -not iPhone Dance music :)&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11647.  
  11648.  
  11649.  
  11650. &lt;p&gt;Again, pure left-field electronics in its purest form. That groove and the whole thing, for me, is just f**king wicked.&lt;/p&gt;
  11651.  
  11652.  
  11653.  
  11654. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes you receive music, you have to pick one track, and you have to go back to the drawing board &amp;#8211; you have to think, is this it, is there a career in it? I have no idea if there will be, but sometimes, you have to put it out because the song is so good it just has to come out&amp;#8230; And this track has to come out, period. It has pure rhythm power, it&amp;#8217;s headed towards the future of dance electronics &amp;#8211; the way I like to be, it&amp;#8217;s not iPhone dance music.&lt;/p&gt;
  11655.  
  11656.  
  11657.  
  11658. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Viclan - Self Manifest (R&amp;amp;S Records)&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/FZDddMXO6MY?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  11659.  
  11660.  
  11661.  
  11662. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paul White &amp;#8211; Glory In Storys &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Romantic!&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11663.  
  11664.  
  11665.  
  11666. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve always been a big, big fan of Paul White; he plays guitar, drums, bass, and everything, he is multi-instrumental.&lt;/p&gt;
  11667.  
  11668.  
  11669.  
  11670. &lt;p&gt;So he sent me the album and it&amp;#8217;s sort of pop, beautiful, romantic, deep.&lt;/p&gt;
  11671.  
  11672.  
  11673.  
  11674. &lt;p&gt;As a person, he is a very soft, emotional, deep guy and you can hear that in his music. Again, that album is so f**king beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;
  11675.  
  11676.  
  11677.  
  11678. &lt;p&gt;I’d also seen him live with his previous album many, many years ago and it&amp;#8217;s wicked, it&amp;#8217;s all there and it&amp;#8217;s all correct in modern contemporary music.&lt;/p&gt;
  11679.  
  11680.  
  11681.  
  11682. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Paul White - Glory In Stories&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/SiGfup_zbdU?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  11683.  
  11684.  
  11685.  
  11686. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feiertag &amp;#8211; Was She &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;UK Bass from Holland&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11687.  
  11688.  
  11689.  
  11690. &lt;p&gt;Feiertag was a drummer who sent me some tracks. One of the things we’ve always tried to champion is that we work with beginners, we&amp;#8217;ve not signed names to sign names, it has always been new kids to give a platform.&lt;/p&gt;
  11691.  
  11692.  
  11693.  
  11694. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s a wicked track. It&amp;#8217;s a relevant track in today&amp;#8217;s music and I think it&amp;#8217;s perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
  11695.  
  11696.  
  11697.  
  11698. &lt;div class=&quot;oembed-container oembed-youtube&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; title=&quot;Was She&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;720&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/gpgRJ8dAVJo?feature=oembed&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content:encoded>

  11745.  
  11746.  
  11747.  
  11748. &lt;p&gt;A GOOGLE employee is urging Android phone owners to try a genius feature – and says you’ll want to try a mind “trick” to get the most out of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  11749.  
  11750.  
  11751.  
  11752. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/google/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; insider told The Sun how he can’t imagine not using the clever tech anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
  11753.  
  11754.

  11761.  
  11762.  
  11763.  
  11764. &lt;p&gt;It’s called &lt;span id=&quot;5188c759-6732-4415-8811-84fbeb48156a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Gemini&lt;/span&gt; Live, an upgraded version of Google’s virtual assistant.&lt;/p&gt;
  11765.  
  11766.  
  11767.  
  11768. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/artificial-intelligence/&quot;&gt;artificial intelligence&lt;/a&gt; helper uses your microphone and speakers, letting you have “natural, free-flowing conversation”.&lt;/p&gt;
  11769.  
  11770.  
  11771.  
  11772. &lt;p&gt;And you can even interrupt what Gemini is saying – or change your mind mid-sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  11773.  
  11774.  
  11775.  
  11776. &lt;p&gt;The Sun spoke to senior Google exec Serge LaChapelle, who said you could even use it to beat the ‘Sunday Scaries’ – the weekend anxiety of going to work on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  11777.  
  11778.  
  11779.  
  11780. &lt;p&gt;“I’ll say something like: I get the fear on Sunday evening. I get stressed and overwhelmed by thinking of the week ahead – and I’d love to learn how to relax or even do breathing exercise,” Serge said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11781.  
  11782.

  11784. &lt;p&gt;He demoed the feature to The Sun, and showed how Gemini Live would then guide you through breathing exercises to calm down.&lt;/p&gt;
  11785.  
  11786.  
  11787.  
  11788. &lt;p&gt;And he was also able to butt in halfway through and ask for more detail.&lt;/p&gt;
  11789.  
  11790.  
  11791.  
  11792. &lt;p&gt;But Google says it can be used for a lot more than just dealing with work stress.&lt;/p&gt;
  11793.  
  11794.  
  11795.  
  11796. &lt;p&gt;You can brainstorm thoughts out loud, ask for gift ideas, plan events, or even make &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; plans, according to the search engine giant.&lt;/p&gt;
  11797.  
  11798.  
  11799.  
  11800. &lt;p&gt;Students can use it to revise and even quiz themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

  11824. &lt;p&gt;And you could even use it to rehearse for important moments – like if you’re giving a public speech, or getting ready for a job interview.&lt;/p&gt;
  11825.  
  11826.  
  11827.  
  11828. &lt;p&gt;In fact, you can even ask it to help you get dressed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11829.  
  11830.  
  11831.  
  11832. &lt;p&gt;“I was able to interrupt it. I was able to get a better answer. I was able to go deeper into it,” Serge told us.&lt;/p&gt;
  11833.  
  11834.  
  11835.  
  11836. &lt;p&gt;“So I find it’s quite a fascinating way to interact with these AI agents.&lt;/p&gt;
  11837.  
  11838.  
  11839.  
  11840. &lt;p&gt;“And one of the fascinating things is that you can also incorporate things from the real world into it.&lt;/p&gt;
  11841.  
  11842.  
  11843.  
  11844. &lt;p&gt;“So for example: “I’ve got a big presentation &lt;span id=&quot;cf82928f-171b-436c-85ce-9291408ba76c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; week, and I want to look young but confident. Could you help me build an outfit that doesn’t include anything of the colour green?”&lt;/p&gt;
  11845.  
  11846.  
  11847.  
  11848. &lt;p&gt;“That’s one of the unique things with Gemini – that it can go and connect to the search engine.&lt;/p&gt;
  11849.  
  11850.  
  11851.  
  11852. &lt;p&gt;“And it’s able to go get answers from &lt;span id=&quot;5794f0dd-193c-4fec-9f66-4b3b95120c6e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;real life&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11853.

  11857.  
  11858.  
  11859.  
  11860. &lt;p&gt;Serge said that this is one of the biggest breakthroughs for Gemini Live versus older styles of AI.&lt;/p&gt;
  11861.  
  11862.  
  11863.  
  11864. &lt;p&gt;If you’d ever used an early smart speaker, you probably experienced the regular difficulty of getting it to do what you wanted.&lt;/p&gt;
  11865.  
  11866.  
  11867.  
  11868. &lt;p&gt;Serge, a director of product management at Google, even admitted it was a problem with the company’s own early efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
  11869.  
  11870.  
  11871.  
  11872. &lt;p&gt;“I think that we’re just starting to scratch the surface,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  11873.  
  11874.  
  11875.  
  11876. &lt;p&gt;“I find with the normal assistants, like the Google Assistant or Alexa and those systems, it was quite frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;
  11877.  
  11878.  
  11879.  
  11880. &lt;p&gt;“Because sometimes if you misspoke a little bit or you tripped up in your command, it would just screw everything up.&lt;/p&gt;
  11881.  
  11882.  
  11883.  
  11884. &lt;p&gt;“And that made me a little bit more hesitant to use those interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
  11885.  
  11886.  
  11887.  
  11888. &lt;p&gt;“Now with this one – where you can interrupt – you can rephrase your sentence mid-sentence as you’re going.&lt;/p&gt;
  11889.  
  11890.  
  11891.  
  11892. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  11894. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;
  11895. &lt;p&gt;These phones have gotten maybe too good, right? And we need to sort of wrangle them back in.&lt;/p&gt;
  11896. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;
  11897. &lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit&quot;&gt;Serge LaChapelle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;quote-credit-meta&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/cite&gt;
  11898. &lt;/div&gt;
  11899. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  11900. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  11902.  
  11903.  
  11904.  
  11905. &lt;p&gt;“It gets that. It works with you. And it won’t just latch on to the thing you might have misspoke.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11906.  
  11907.  
  11908.  
  11909. &lt;p&gt;The problem, Serge admits, is getting people into the habit of actually using it.&lt;/p&gt;
  11910.  
  11911.  
  11912.  
  11913. &lt;p&gt;He says that one of the problems is that people see using AI as a form of cheating.&lt;/p&gt;
  11914.  
  11915.  
  11916.  
  11917. &lt;p&gt;Serge explained: “It’s almost a little bit like the calculator, right?&lt;/p&gt;
  11918.  
  11919.  
  11920.  
  11921. &lt;p&gt;“When the calculator first appeared, proper people did not use a calculator, right?&lt;/p&gt;
  11922.  
  11923.  
  11924.  
  11925. &lt;p&gt;“And it was kind of looked down upon – like ‘I don’t need this to get my work done’.&lt;/p&gt;
  11926.  
  11927.  
  11928.  
  11929. &lt;p&gt;“But now, this is maybe the calculator or the search engine of this generation.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11930.  
  11931.  
  11932.  
  11933. &lt;p&gt;The other difficulty is that people don’t know what they don’t know.&lt;/p&gt;
  11934.  
  11935.  
  11936.  
  11937. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866317&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/2024/11/google-gem-005.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866317&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Gemini can also interact with other Google apps&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Google&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  11938.  
  11939.  
  11940.  
  11941. &lt;p&gt;And so he thinks it’s important to use a mental “trick” of forcing yourself to use it – to break out of normal habits.&lt;/p&gt;
  11942.  
  11943.  
  11944.  
  11945. &lt;p&gt;That way, you’ll be able to find ways that Google’s AI helper can assist you, that you might have otherwise missed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11946.  
  11947.  
  11948.  
  11949. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t see myself being able to go back to two years ago where this wasn’t possible,” Serge told The Sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  11950.  
  11951.  
  11952.  
  11953. &lt;p&gt;“I save a lot of time: I’m not saying I’m saving dozens of hours, but every day, there are small magic moments.&lt;/p&gt;
  11954.  
  11955.  
  11956.  
  11957. &lt;p&gt;“The trick is how. I’ve had to train myself to make those moments happen.&lt;/p&gt;
  11958.  
  11959.  
  11960.  
  11961. &lt;p&gt;“We all have to force ourselves a little bit, because it’s easier to just go on with life like it’s always been than to try something new.&lt;/p&gt;
  11962.  
  11963.  
  11964.  
  11965. &lt;p&gt;“I think Gemini Live is a great way to get people to start using this a little bit every day.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11966.  
  11967.  
  11968.  
  11969. &lt;p&gt;If you don’t like chatting out loud, that’s not a big problem either.&lt;/p&gt;
  11970.  
  11971.  
  11972.

  11981. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  11982. Here&amp;#039;s Google&amp;#039;s official list... &lt;/p&gt;
  11984. &lt;div&gt;
  11985. &lt;ul&gt;
  11986. &lt;li&gt;An Android phone or tablet.&lt;/li&gt;
  11987. &lt;li&gt;The Gemini mobile app, or Gemini as your mobile assistant. For now, Gemini Live isn’t available in the Gemini web app, Gemini in Google messages, or the Gemini tab in the Google app on iPhone.&lt;/li&gt;
  11988. &lt;li&gt;A personal Google account that you manage on your own. For now, Gemini Live isn’t available while signed in to a work or school Google account.&lt;/li&gt;
  11989. &lt;li&gt;Your first language in settings is a supported language.&lt;/li&gt;
  11990. &lt;li&gt;Be 18 or over.&lt;/li&gt;
  11991. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11992. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Picture Credit: Google&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11993. &lt;/div&gt;
  11994. &lt;/div&gt;
  11995. &lt;/div&gt;
  11997.  
  11998.  
  11999.  
  12000. &lt;p&gt;The Gemini app on your Android phone works using regular text input – while the Gemini Live feature handles voice.&lt;/p&gt;
  12001.  
  12002.  
  12003.  
  12004. &lt;p&gt;And for some tasks, the regular Gemini system might actually be more useful.&lt;/p&gt;
  12005.  
  12006.  
  12007.  
  12008. &lt;p&gt;“With Gemini Live, it really right now is about conversations and asking it about the world around us,” Serge said.&lt;/p&gt;
  12009.  
  12010.  
  12011.  
  12012. &lt;p&gt;“With the Gemini app proper, it can go and help you with your calendar, it can go help you find information much more quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
  12013.  
  12014.  
  12015.  
  12016. &lt;p&gt;“If you send it a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/youtube/&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; window, it has such a big context window and can put an hour’s video in its memory.&lt;/p&gt;
  12017.  
  12018.  
  12019.  
  12020. &lt;p&gt;“And you can go ask it not just about the transcript, but about things happening – like physical things happening – in the video.&lt;/p&gt;
  12021.  
  12022.  
  12023.  
  12024. &lt;p&gt;“One of the use-cases I never thought of: one of my colleagues here is blind. And he says: yeah, now I can understand what’s going on in the YouTube video.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12025.  
  12026.  
  12027.  
  12028. &lt;p&gt;It might sound like it’s all a lot of tech – at a time when it feels like switching off has never been more important.&lt;/p&gt;
  12029.  
  12030.  
  12031.  
  12032. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31866320&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 862px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/google-gem-002.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=852&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31866320&quot; width=&quot;852&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;You can choose from a selection of voices for Gemini Live&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Google&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  12033.  
  12034.  
  12035.  
  12036. &lt;p&gt;But Serge thinks that chatting to voice helpers is a great way to break free from tech.&lt;/p&gt;
  12037.  
  12038.  
  12039.  
  12040. &lt;p&gt;By having more humanlike conversations with our gadgets, it can stop us from being stuck staring at screens all day.&lt;/p&gt;
  12041.  
  12042.  
  12043.  
  12044. &lt;p&gt;“We get so many texts every day, so many interruptions, so many notifications. So many things happening: emails, calendar invites, files being shared with us.&lt;/p&gt;
  12045.  
  12046.  
  12047.  
  12048. &lt;p&gt;“And having a tool like this tries to help us focus on what’s important.&lt;/p&gt;
  12049.  
  12050.  
  12051.  
  12052. &lt;p&gt;“These phones have gotten maybe too good, right? And we need to sort of wrangle them back in.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12053.  
  12054.  
  12055.  
  12056. &lt;p&gt;He added: “I think Gemini Live is one of the best examples of how this can become personal again – and where one of the trajectories for these kinds of tools is going to take us.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12101.  
  12102.  
  12103.  
  12104. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re heading to Aldi you can bag a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;large Nordman fir (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.aldi.co.uk/large-nordman-fir/p/738319819404900&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;large Nordman fir&lt;/a&gt; for just £19.99, which measures a whopping 200cm.&lt;/p&gt;
  12105.  
  12106.  
  12107.  
  12108. &lt;p&gt;For just £13.99 you can get a medium sized tree that measures between 160 and 180cm.&lt;/p&gt;
  12109.  
  12110.  
  12111.  
  12112. &lt;p&gt;There are even more discounts to be found at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lidl.co.uk/c/indoor-and-outdoor-plants/a10058857&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Lidl  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Lidl &lt;/a&gt;which is offering a whole array of festive items.&lt;/p&gt;
  12113.  
  12114.  
  12115.  
  12116. &lt;p&gt;For just £16.99 you can buy a medium sized Christmas tree that has been &amp;#8220;hand pruned&amp;#8221; giving it its unique &amp;#8220;full&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;bushy&amp;#8221; shape.&lt;/p&gt;
  12117.  
  12118.  
  12119.  
  12120. &lt;p&gt;It boasts &amp;#8220;soft but strong&amp;#8221; needles, according to the discount supermarket&amp;#8217;s site, and is &amp;#8220;ideal&amp;#8221; for decorating.&lt;/p&gt;
  12121.  
  12122.  
  12123.  
  12124. &lt;p&gt;The website recommends sawing off 5cm off the base of the trunk and placing the tree in a water holding stand.&lt;/p&gt;
  12125.  
  12126.  
  12127.  
  12128. &lt;p&gt;To get the best out of your festive fir, Lidl suggests keeping the water topped up daily as, just like flowers the tree will need hydration.&lt;/p&gt;
  12129.  
  12130.  
  12131.  
  12132. &lt;p&gt;For those with a bigger space, the superstore is offering a large Christmas tree for a staggering £26.99. &lt;/p&gt;
  12133.  
  12134.  
  12135.  
  12136. &lt;p&gt;This is a massive discount compared to other retailers where Christmas trees can often cost hundreds of pounds. &lt;/p&gt;
  12137.  
  12138.  
  12139.  
  12140. &lt;p&gt;Just like its smaller friend, the large fir has been pruned to give it a &amp;#8220;bushy shape&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  12189. &lt;div&gt;
  12190. &lt;p&gt;There are plenty of comparison websites out there that&amp;#8217;ll check prices for you &amp;#8211; so don&amp;#8217;t be left paying more than you have to.&lt;/p&gt;
  12191. &lt;p&gt;Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.&lt;/p&gt;
  12192. &lt;p&gt;Here are some that we recommend:&lt;/p&gt;
  12193. &lt;ul&gt;
  12194. &lt;li&gt;Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.&lt;/li&gt;
  12195. &lt;li&gt;Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.&lt;/li&gt;
  12196. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealo.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Idealo&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them&amp;nbsp;from the cheapest to the most expensive one.&lt;/li&gt;
  12197. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CamelCamelCamel&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of&lt;/li&gt;
  12198. &lt;/ul&gt;
  12199. &lt;/div&gt;
  12200. &lt;/div&gt;
  12201. &lt;/div&gt;
  12203.  
  12204.  
  12205.  
  12206. &lt;p&gt;This comes as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/31249029/tips-save-money-food-shopping-meal-plan-reduced/#:~:text=The%20savvy%20saver%20explained%20that,the%20course%20of%20a%20year.&quot;&gt;man has revealed that his food shop &lt;/a&gt;costs him around just £30 a week thanks to Aldi and Lidl buys.&lt;/p&gt;
  12207.  
  12208.  
  12209.  
  12210. &lt;p&gt;Cameron, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot;&gt;content creator&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who regularly shares&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tips-tricks-life-hacks/&quot;&gt;tips&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on how to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money-saving-tips/&quot;&gt;save cash&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;online, recently swore by eight&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hacks/&quot;&gt;hacks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that’ll help you pocket pounds on your&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;food&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  12211.  
  12212.  
  12213.  
  12214. &lt;p&gt;The savvy saver explained that his food shop costs a total of £120 a month and to keep the costs so low, he shops at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aldi/&quot;&gt;Aldi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lidl/&quot;&gt;Lidl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12215.  
  12216.  
  12217.  
  12218. &lt;p&gt;He claimed that such&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/&quot;&gt;supermarkets&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/30820248/which-cheapest-supermarket-aldi-lidl-tesco-asda-morrisons/&quot;&gt;by far the cheapest&lt;/a&gt;” and save him hundreds of pounds over the course of a year.&lt;/p&gt;
  12219.  
  12220.  
  12221.  
  12222. &lt;p&gt;Not only this, but he explained: “I map out a weekly food plan so I know exactly what I need to buy and how much I need to spend.&lt;/p&gt;
  12223.  
  12224.  
  12225.  
  12226. &lt;p&gt;“I then keep track of what I spend as I go to make sure I don&amp;#8217;t go over budget, or you could bring&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/&quot;&gt;cash&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12227.  
  12228.  
  12229.  
  12230. &lt;p&gt;When it comes to going grocery shopping, he advised people to avoid the shops on an empty stomach, to reduce temptations to overspend on unnecessary snacks and treats.&lt;/p&gt;
  12231.  
  12232.  
  12233.  
  12234. &lt;p&gt;In addition to this, he shared why he never buys chicken breasts or pasta sauce, as he claimed: “I cook everything from scratch, which means I only buy raw ingredients, like tinned tomatoes, rice, pasta, raw meats and vegetables, as pre-prepared sauces and meals are way overpriced.&lt;/p&gt;
  12235.  
  12236.  
  12237.  
  12238. &lt;p&gt;“I don&amp;#8217;t buy chicken breasts &amp;#8211; instead I go for cheaper meats like chicken thighs or drumsticks as well as mince with higher percentage fat.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12239.  
  12240.

  12272. &lt;p&gt;GUY RITCHIE rewound 24 years to a real-life Snatch this week after thieves targeted his new big-budget set.&lt;/p&gt;
  12273.  
  12274.  
  12275.  
  12276. &lt;p&gt;The British director was working in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; on his Paramount+ project The Associate, starring &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/tom-hardy/&quot;&gt;Tom Hardy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/helen-mirren/&quot;&gt;Helen Mirren&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/pierce-brosnan/&quot;&gt;Pierce Brosnan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12277.  
  12278.  
  12279.  
  12280. &lt;p&gt;Insiders told me all hell broke out on the Isle of Dogs when two men in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/toyota/&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; Prius swooped after spotting camera equipment in the street.&lt;/p&gt;
  12281.  
  12282.  
  12283.  
  12284. &lt;p&gt;My mole explained: “Guy had shut roads for the shoot and the production was teeming with security and crew.&lt;/p&gt;
  12285.  
  12286.  
  12287.  
  12288. &lt;p&gt;“Out of nowhere, two blokes arrived in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/24585845/toyota-prius-uk-model-return-market-car-motors/&quot;&gt;Prius&lt;/a&gt; and started asking for directions.&lt;/p&gt;
  12289.  
  12290.  
  12291.  
  12292. &lt;p&gt;“Their questions distracted people and at that moment, the other bloke jumped out and grabbed a bag of camera equipment that was on the side of the road.&lt;/p&gt;
  12293.  
  12294.  
  12295.  
  12296. &lt;p&gt;“He jumped back in the car and they sped off. The security guards started going bananas because they’d basically been robbed in broad daylight.&lt;/p&gt;
  12297.  
  12298.  
  12299.  
  12300. &lt;p&gt;“It was pretty embarrassing and a costly mistake. The kit on those films isn’t cheap.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12301.  
  12302.  
  12303.  
  12304. &lt;p&gt;Plans for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/guy-ritchie/page/2/&quot;&gt;Guy’s new show&lt;/a&gt; were first revealed this year, with the Lock Stock director signing up Tom, Helen and Pierce to star in it.&lt;/p&gt;
  12305.  
  12306.  
  12307.  
  12308. &lt;p&gt;The series will focus on a set of elite London “fixers”, basically gangsters, and wheeler-dealer businesses they run.&lt;/p&gt;
  12309.  
  12310.  
  12311.  
  12312. &lt;p&gt;Guy, who directed the 2000 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/comedy/&quot;&gt;comedy&lt;/a&gt; Snatch, will be counting on the show to be a hit — and given the success of his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/netflix/&quot;&gt;Netflix&lt;/a&gt; series The Gentlemen, I’ve got high hopes.&lt;/p&gt;
  12313.  
  12314.  
  12315.  
  12316. &lt;p&gt;The series was watched more than 45million times in the first month and now a second season is in the works, with characters Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass getting another run out.&lt;/p&gt;
  12317.  
  12318.  
  12319.  
  12320. &lt;p&gt;As long as Guy tightens up his security from now on, hopefully the dramas will only be on screen.&lt;/p&gt;

  12397.  
  12398.  
  12399.  
  12400. &lt;p&gt;SHE might be two years away from 80, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cher/&quot;&gt;Cher&lt;/a&gt; is already lining up her next &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/film/&quot;&gt;film&lt;/a&gt; role.&lt;/p&gt;
  12401.  
  12402.  
  12403.  
  12404. &lt;p&gt;The singer, who last appeared in 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, made the revelation during a talk in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-york/&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; while promoting her new memoir.&lt;/p&gt;
  12405.  
  12406.  
  12407.  
  12408. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Francis Ford Coppola sent me an email the other day.&lt;/p&gt;
  12409.  
  12410.  
  12411.  
  12412. &lt;p&gt;“He wants us to do a movie that we talked about 20 years ago. He got me into movies. He once said to me when I was at Vegas, ‘Why are you not doing movies?’.&lt;/p&gt;
  12413.  
  12414.  
  12415.  
  12416. &lt;p&gt;“Singing and dancing is like having a party at someone’s house. Acting is like having a party at your house and one is more fun.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12417.  
  12418.  
  12419.  
  12420. &lt;p&gt;But Francis needs to get in fast, as Oscar-winner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cher/&quot;&gt;Cher&lt;/a&gt; is already batting off deals to turn her two-part memoir – the first of which came out this week – into a biopic.&lt;/p&gt;
  12421.  
  12422.  
  12423.  
  12424. &lt;p&gt;She added: “It could make a good movie. It could be like an eight or nine-parter.&lt;/p&gt;
  12425.  
  12426.  
  12427.  
  12428. &lt;p&gt;“That is true. I have not read the book as I wrote it. I thought, ‘Well, if I wrote it, I don’t have to read it’.&lt;/p&gt;
  12429.  
  12430.  
  12431.  
  12432. &lt;p&gt;“I have another book that is coming out next &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;. I guess I will read it when I am old.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12433.  
  12434.  
  12435.  
  12436. &lt;p&gt;I hope I have this attitude when I’m 78.&lt;/p&gt;

  12445.  
  12446.  
  12447.  
  12448. &lt;p&gt;SHABOOZEY has had a pretty good year after a global hit single, collaborating with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/beyonce/&quot;&gt;Beyonce&lt;/a&gt; and being nominated for five Grammy Awards&lt;/p&gt;
  12449.  
  12450.  
  12451.  
  12452. &lt;p&gt;The man behind A Bar Song (Tipsy) wore a natty green suit with embroidered detail as he toasted his achievements at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/country-music/&quot;&gt;Country Music&lt;/a&gt; Association Awards in Nashville on Wednesday – although he left empty handed.&lt;/p&gt;
  12453.  
  12454.  
  12455.  
  12456. &lt;p&gt;Despite being nominated for New Artist and Single of the Year, Shaboozey was beaten on both fronts.&lt;/p&gt;
  12457.  
  12458.  
  12459.  
  12460. &lt;p&gt;At least he had an excuse to wear the suit.&lt;/p&gt;

  12471.  
  12472. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/james-arthur/&quot;&gt;JAMES ARTHUR&lt;/a&gt; revealed he has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adhd/&quot;&gt;ADHD&lt;/a&gt; – and has written a song named after the disorder which affects attention span and self-control.&lt;/p&gt;
  12473.  
  12474.  
  12475.  
  12476. &lt;p&gt;The singer, below, said of the tune, out today: “It is about being loved in the way you want to be loved.&lt;/p&gt;
  12477.  
  12478.  
  12479.  
  12480. &lt;p&gt;“When you experience that, it’s something truly special, especially if you tend to be self-deprecating or have trouble receiving love due to issues or conditions that others might not understand.&lt;/p&gt;
  12481.  
  12482.  
  12483.  
  12484. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/adhd/&quot;&gt;ADHD&lt;/a&gt; is one of those conditions – but when someone accepts you for all your flaws, it can feel like your dreams are a reality.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12485.  
  12486.  
  12487.  
  12488. &lt;p&gt;Other new releases include Tiny Habit’s Lizzy McAlpine collaboration For Sale Sign, Ashaine White&amp;#8217;s I Sing To Myself and Rose&amp;#8217;s Number One Girl.&lt;/p&gt;
  12489.

  12494.  
  12495.  
  12496. &lt;p&gt;Bastille have dropped a video for track Eve &amp;amp; Paradise Lost, featuring Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley.&lt;/p&gt;

  12505.  
  12506.  
  12507.  
  12508. &lt;p&gt;POPPY AJUDHA hit it off with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/raye/&quot;&gt;Raye&lt;/a&gt; years before they became famous – and the singer-songwriter is now keen to link up in the studio.&lt;/p&gt;
  12509.  
  12510.  
  12511.  
  12512. &lt;p&gt;She has known the six-time Brits winner for years and reckons her fellow soul performer is an inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;
  12513.  
  12514.  
  12515.  
  12516. &lt;p&gt;Poppy, whose eponymous second album, is out today, said in an exclusive chat: “I’ve known Raye for a long time. She’s become so huge as an artist. She’s so incredible. I’ve never written with her but would love to.&lt;/p&gt;
  12517.  
  12518.  
  12519.  
  12520. &lt;p&gt;“Raye would be a huge inspiration for the way she does her live show, and to play with orchestras.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12521.  
  12522.  
  12523.  
  12524. &lt;p&gt;She added: “I think I’ve gained so many skills making this album. Now I want to take those skills and make something even bigger and better.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12525.  
  12526.  
  12527.  
  12528. &lt;p&gt;She said the album is “uplifting” and the result of her being a “meticulous control freak”. But it was clearly enjoyable because she is raring to make more music.&lt;/p&gt;
  12529.  
  12530.  
  12531.  
  12532. &lt;p&gt;Poppy explained: “Being in the studio is my favourite part of being an artist. I’m really missing it at the moment. I’m planning to go to LA in January to write my next album.&lt;/p&gt;
  12533.  
  12534.  
  12535.  
  12536. &lt;p&gt;“Songwriting is what makes me feel like a human with purpose in the world.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12537.  
  12538.

  12544. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  12547. &lt;div&gt;
  12548. &lt;p&gt;MUSICIAN and TikTok star Addison Rae has ruled herself out of playing Britney Spears in the singer’s biopic – and says others should avoid it too.&lt;/p&gt;
  12549. &lt;p&gt;She told iHeartRadio: “I honestly don’t think anyone deserves to play her. She’s such an enigma and icon.&lt;/p&gt;
  12550. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t even think it’s right to compare me to her at all.&lt;/p&gt;
  12551. &lt;p&gt;“I support anything and everything Britney Spears ever wants to do in her life and career, and I think she’ll have the best opinion on who she thinks that should be.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12552. &lt;/div&gt;
  12553. &lt;/div&gt;
  12554. &lt;/div&gt;
  12556.  
  12557.  
  12558.  
  12559. &lt;p&gt;DANCE duo Sigma will headline the Casa Bacardi night at Boxpark Croydon, tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  12560.  
  12561.  
  12562.  
  12563. &lt;p&gt;The South London venue is being transformed into a club space with a huge lighting rig.&lt;/p&gt;
  12564.  
  12565.  
  12566.  
  12567. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Boxpark &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wembley/&quot;&gt;Wembley&lt;/a&gt; in North West London will host A Very Noughties Christmas on December 14 featuring Lemar, Blazin’ Squad, Big Brovaz and Booty Luv.&lt;/p&gt;

  12576.  
  12577.  
  12578.  
  12579. &lt;p&gt;It soared to No1 on the streaming site’s album charts in 138 countries and she later teamed up with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/charli-xcx/&quot;&gt;Charli XCX&lt;/a&gt; for a hit reworking of the British singer’s song Guess.&lt;/p&gt;
  12580.  
  12581.  
  12582.  
  12583. &lt;p&gt;Billie said: “Since day one, Apple Music has supported my music and artistry, and I am both honoured and ­humbled to receive this recognition.”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12610.  
  12611. &lt;p&gt;HAVING hooked viewers for almost a decade, much-loved crime drama Unforgotten is being turned into a documentary series.&lt;/p&gt;
  12612.  
  12613.  
  12614.  
  12615. &lt;p&gt;I can reveal the two-parter will look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/unforgotten-tv-show/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;real-life cold cases&lt;/a&gt; that are the inspiration for the hit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt; show that stars &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26086862/unforgotten-nicola-walker-new-role-mary-george-sky/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nicola Walker&lt;/a&gt;, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Sinead Keenan.&lt;/p&gt;
  12616.  
  12617.  
  12618.  
  12619. &lt;p&gt;Simply called The Real Unforgotten, it will air early &lt;span id=&quot;14645c21-027f-4ee8-bf20-81f285e8f8b3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; year on ITV1 around the time that the sixth season of the detective series is released.&lt;/p&gt;
  12620.  
  12621.  
  12622.  
  12623. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider said: “Often real-life events get featured in factual &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TV &lt;/a&gt;shows and then inspire dramas, but in this case it’s the other way around.&lt;/p&gt;
  12624.  
  12625.  
  12626.  
  12627. &lt;p&gt;“ITV bosses saw this as a no-brainer and there are plenty of incredible cold cases to choose from that can feature.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12628.  
  12629.  
  12630.  
  12631. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/documentary/&quot;&gt;documentary&lt;/a&gt; series and sixth season also coincide with the tenth anniversary of the show, which comes from the pen of acclaimed writer Chris Lang.&lt;/p&gt;
  12632.  
  12633.  
  12634.  
  12635. &lt;p&gt;From 2015 to 2021, Sanjeev, who plays DI Sunny Khan, was paired up with Nicola as DCI &lt;span id=&quot;9ac2dc8f-aa3f-4861-b5e9-0a8eff989fa7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Cassie&lt;/span&gt; Stuart. &lt;/p&gt;
  12636.  
  12637.  
  12638.  
  12639. &lt;p&gt;But she was killed in a car crash at the end of series four.&lt;/p&gt;
  12640.  
  12641.  
  12642.  
  12643. &lt;p&gt;In series five, which aired last year, Sinead played new female lead detective DCI Jessie James. They’re now both set to reprise their roles in the &lt;span id=&quot;20d49e7f-9aa8-4c28-8a17-7e86fe0c83ab&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; series.&lt;/p&gt;
  12644.  
  12645.  
  12646.  
  12647. &lt;p&gt;Over the past decade the show has gained a loyal following, and previous seasons have included masterclass performances from A-listers attracted to appear.&lt;/p&gt;
  12648.  
  12649.  
  12650.  
  12651. &lt;p&gt;Billy Liar star Tom Courtenay and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/line-of-duty/&quot;&gt;Line Of duty&lt;/a&gt; actor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/2704589/mark-bonnar-married-wife/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mark Bonnar&lt;/a&gt; both bagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/baftas/&quot;&gt;Baftas&lt;/a&gt; for their stints on series one and two, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  12652.  
  12653.  
  12654.  
  12655. &lt;p&gt;So, no pressure on the real characters to be just as captivating in the spin-off documentary.&lt;/p&gt;
  12656.

  12818.  
  12819.  
  12820.  
  12821. &lt;p&gt;It has been extended many times, with the government promising to pump a further&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31402857/budget-autumn-statement-rachel-reeves-houshold-support-fund/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;£1billion&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;into the fund over 2025 and 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
  12822.  
  12823.  
  12824.  
  12825. &lt;p&gt;Local&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;councils&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;pay out the money, and how much you get depends on your financial circumstances and what&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/benefits/&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;you receive.&lt;/p&gt;
  12826.  
  12827.  
  12828.  
  12829. &lt;p&gt;The latest support package is offering a one-off food voucher of £25 per household to those in receipt of Local Council Tax Support.&lt;/p&gt;
  12830.  
  12831.  
  12832.  
  12833. &lt;p&gt;This will be transferred to recipients automatically.&lt;/p&gt;
  12834.  
  12835.  
  12836.  
  12837. &lt;p&gt;Pensioners who receive council tax support but who are not eligible for Pension Credit can apply for a one-off utility voucher worth £75.&lt;/p&gt;
  12838.  
  12839.  
  12840.  
  12841. &lt;p&gt;The Household Support Fund is also offering a top-up food voucher scheme for those in desperate need.&lt;/p&gt;
  12842.  
  12843.  
  12844.  
  12845. &lt;p&gt;Other forms of support include grants to help islanders in emergencies and food provision funding to local communities. &lt;/p&gt;
  12846.  
  12847.  
  12848.  
  12849. &lt;p&gt;The council will also work with Island providers to help financially desperate residents with other forms of assistance during this period.&lt;/p&gt;

  12873. &lt;p&gt;Councillor Debbie Andre, Cabinet member for adult social care and Public Health, told&lt;a aria-label=&quot; Island echo (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.islandecho.co.uk/low-income-families-to-benefit-from-1-1million-household-support-fund/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; Island echo&lt;/a&gt;:  “It’s vital that we continue to support those most in need across the Island, particularly as we head into the winter months.&lt;/p&gt;
  12874.  
  12875.  
  12876.  
  12877. &lt;p&gt;“We still find ourselves in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis and times remain tough, but I hope this announcement will go some way towards reassuring families struggling to make ends meet that support is there to help them pay their bills, put food on the table or access other support and advice to assist them.”&lt;/p&gt;

  12896. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains what you need to know about the Household Support Fund. &lt;/p&gt;
  12898. &lt;div&gt;
  12899. &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re battling to afford energy and water bills, food or other essential items and services, the Household Support Fund can act as a vital lifeline.&lt;/p&gt;
  12900. &lt;p&gt;The financial support is a little-known way for struggling families to get extra help with the cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;
  12901. &lt;p&gt;Every council in England has been given a share of £421million cash by the government to distribute to local low income households.&lt;/p&gt;
  12902. &lt;p&gt;Each local authority chooses how to pass on the support. Some offer vouchers whereas others give direct cash payments.&lt;/p&gt;
  12903. &lt;p&gt;In many instances, the value of support is worth hundreds of pounds to individual families.&lt;/p&gt;
  12904. &lt;p&gt;Just as the support varies between councils, so does the criteria for qualifying.&lt;/p&gt;
  12905. &lt;p&gt;Many councils offer the help to households on selected benefits or they may base help on the level of household income.&lt;/p&gt;
  12906. &lt;p&gt;The key is to get in touch with your local authority to see exactly what support is on offer.&lt;/p&gt;
  12907. &lt;p&gt;And don&amp;#8217;t delay, the scheme has been extended until April 2025 but your council may dish out their share of the Household Support Fund before this date.&lt;/p&gt;
  12908. &lt;p&gt;Once the cash is gone, you may find they cannot provide any extra help so it&amp;#8217;s crucial you apply as soon as possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12909. &lt;/div&gt;
  12910. &lt;/div&gt;
  12911. &lt;/div&gt;
  12913.  
  12914.  
  12915.  
  12916. &lt;p&gt;Some examples of what other councils are doing include&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot;&gt;Rotherham Council&lt;/a&gt;, which is now offering struggling families £250 grants to fight the cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;
  12917.  
  12918.  
  12919.  
  12920. &lt;p&gt;Rotherham Council says that to qualify for the grant, residents must have no more than £150 remaining each month after covering essential expenses such as food, rent or mortgage, and utility bills.&lt;/p&gt;
  12921.  
  12922.  
  12923.  
  12924. &lt;p&gt;You do not need to be on benefits to apply for the fund.&lt;/p&gt;
  12925.  
  12926.  
  12927.  
  12928. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=Newcastle+Council&quot;&gt;Newcastle Council&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has been awarded £2.9million to help struggling families this winter.&lt;/p&gt;
  12929.  
  12930.  
  12931.  
  12932. &lt;p&gt;Some £950,000 of that fund will be given to those who are pensionable age in receipt of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/council-tax/&quot;&gt;Council Tax&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Support or Housing Benefit but who don’t qualify for the Winter Fuel Allowance.&lt;/p&gt;
  12933.  
  12934.  
  12935.  
  12936. &lt;p&gt;Everyone who is identified as eligible for this support will be contacted directly in December by the council with their payment.&lt;/p&gt;
  12937.  
  12938.  
  12939.  
  12940. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=Sandwell+Council&quot;&gt;Sandwell Council&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has also been allocated more than £3.4million for the period up to March 2025 to help struggling families.&lt;/p&gt;
  12941.  
  12942.  
  12943.  
  12944. &lt;p&gt;The council is using the funds to give 4,000 pensioners on low incomes a £200 payment.&lt;/p&gt;
  12945.  
  12946.  
  12947.  
  12948. &lt;p&gt;To be eligible, you must receive council&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tax/&quot;&gt;tax&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;reduction, but not Pension Credit.&lt;/p&gt;
  12949.  
  12950.  
  12951.  
  12952. &lt;p&gt;This payment will be sent to eligible households in a letter that can be cashed at a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/post-office/&quot;&gt;Post Office&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12953.  
  12954.  
  12955.  
  12956. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, The Sun previously revealed a full list of councils providing extra support for pensioners this winter through the fund.&lt;/p&gt;
  12957.  
  12958.  
  12959.  
  12960. &lt;p&gt;You can check that out&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31564217/areas-offering-pensioner-cost-of-living-payments/&quot;&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12961.  
  12962.  
  12963.  
  12964. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;How to know if you qualify?&lt;/h2&gt;
  12965.  
  12966.  
  12967.  
  12968. &lt;p&gt;Financial support available to struggling households varies from council to council, so it is worth checking what schemes your local council offers to ensure you get all the support you need.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12969.  
  12970.  
  12971.  
  12972. &lt;p&gt;The benefits you already receive will not be affected by applying for the HSF.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12973.  
  12974.  
  12975.  
  12976. &lt;p&gt;And, you do not necessarily need to receive benefits in the first place&amp;nbsp; to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25213141/thousands-of-households-150-vouchers-tesco-aldi-this-week/&quot;&gt;get vouchers or funds from the HSF.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  12977.  
  12978.  
  12979.  
  12980. &lt;p&gt;To get the help, you&amp;#8217;ll need to check with your&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/?s=+council+&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;council &amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;as local authorities are in charge of distributing the funding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  13059.  
  13060.  
  13061.

  13067.  
  13068.  
  13069.  
  13070. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m embracing the power of healing, kindness, and helping others along the way. &lt;/p&gt;
  13071.  
  13072.  
  13073.  
  13074. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Every step is part of my journey of growth, balance, and resilience, reminding me that true strength comes from within. &lt;/p&gt;
  13075.  
  13076.  
  13077.  
  13078. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I choose to stay true to my purpose, knowing that with each challenge I face, I’m becoming stronger, wiser, and more aligned with the life I’m meant to live. &lt;/p&gt;
  13079.  
  13080.  
  13081.  
  13082. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The path may not always be easy, but it is mine and I will walk it with courage, hope, and unwavering faith in what’s to come.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13106. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about the mother of his second baby, Ashley said: &amp;#8220;I got a call from a girl I was seeing who I have known since I was 18.&lt;/p&gt;
  13107.  
  13108.

  13111.  
  13112.  
  13113.  
  13114. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She is a really nice person and good to be around. I got a message saying that she needed to speak to me so I went to see her and she told me she was pregnant — I can&amp;#8217;t put into words how that felt.&lt;/p&gt;
  13115.  
  13116.  
  13117.  
  13118. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The thought of potentially having another child after losing one was very difficult to understand for me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13119.  
  13120.  
  13121.  
  13122. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;The Yukon gave me a lot of time and solitude to think and it made me understand that, even though this next part of my journey is going to be hard, I truly understood that every child that comes into this world is a blessing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13126. &lt;p&gt;Safiyya, 36, had previously claimed he had wanted to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/25077055/ashley-cain-safiyya-another-woman-pregnant/&quot;&gt;try for another child&lt;/a&gt; with her and that his baby news last year had left her taken aback.&lt;/p&gt;
  13127.  
  13128.  
  13129.  
  13130. &lt;p&gt;She told us: “I don’t know why he would ask to have another baby with me knowing he’s sleeping with someone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  13131.  
  13132.  
  13133.  
  13134. &lt;p&gt;“When he asked me, it was the moment I’d been waiting for.&lt;/p&gt;
  13135.  
  13136.  
  13137.  
  13138. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I sighed with relief that we could reunite and have a family again.&lt;/p&gt;
  13139.  
  13140.  
  13141.  
  13142. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/15416067/ashley-cain-shows-off-memorial-garden-daughter-azaylia/&quot;&gt;Azaylia’s garden&lt;/a&gt;, in front of our daughter, such a precious, safe space for us.&lt;/p&gt;
  13143.  
  13144.  
  13145.  
  13146. &lt;p&gt;“He said, ‘I don’t want another baby with another woman’, and asked if we could have one together.&lt;/p&gt;
  13147.  
  13148.  
  13149.  
  13150. &lt;p&gt;“I couldn’t speak, the tears were rolling down my face.&lt;/p&gt;
  13151.  
  13152.  
  13153.  
  13154. &lt;p&gt;“Over the coming weeks I then waited for him to say, ‘Shall we get back together’. I truly thought he would, I thought he was just taking things step by step.&lt;/p&gt;
  13155.  
  13156.  
  13157.  
  13158. &lt;p&gt;“But then, out of the blue, he told me he was having a child with someone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  13159.  
  13160.  
  13161.  
  13162. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was like a hurricane had hit me. I am shocked.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13163.  
  13164.  
  13165.  
  13166. &lt;p&gt;Safiyya and Ashley now run &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/22936388/ashley-cain-azaylia-cancer-who-cares-wins-nhs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Azaylia Foundation&lt;/a&gt; together.&lt;/p&gt;
  13167.  
  13168.  
  13169.  
  13170. &lt;p&gt;The former&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ex-on-the-beach/&quot;&gt;Ex on the Beach&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;star has completed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17793916/ashley-cain-fight-daughter-azaylia/&quot;&gt;a number of physical challenges&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;since his daughter&amp;#8217;s death in 2021 and was preparing to take on the Yukon 1000 when he found out the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/news/&quot;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;about the baby in July 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

  13234.  
  13235.  
  13236.  
  13237. &lt;p&gt;In Thursday&amp;#8217;s (November 21) episode, the star misspoke while discussing politeness with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/30119986/etiquette-expert-one-time-food-breakfast-buffet/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;William Hanson,&lt;/a&gt; an etiquette coach and author.&lt;/p&gt;
  13238.  
  13239.  
  13240.  
  13241. &lt;p&gt;William brought up how he&amp;#8217;d noticed Jeremy writes with his left hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  13242.  
  13243.  
  13244.  
  13245. &lt;p&gt;Jeremy replied: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m bi &amp;#8211; is it bisexual? What is it when &amp;#8211; ?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13246.  
  13247.  
  13248.  
  13249. &lt;p&gt;Cutting in, the podcast host responded: &amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t know if you&amp;#8217;re bisexual.&lt;/p&gt;
  13250.  
  13251.  
  13252.  
  13253. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You could be, I don&amp;#8217;t know Jeremy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13254.  
  13255.  
  13256.  
  13257. &lt;p&gt;Referring to what he&amp;#8217;d thought the host meant, William added: &amp;#8220;Ambidextrous.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13258.  
  13259.  
  13260.  
  13261. &lt;p&gt;However, Jeremy clarified that term doesn&amp;#8217;t exactly fit as he &amp;#8220;can&amp;#8217;t use both hands for everything.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13262.  
  13263.  
  13264.  
  13265. &lt;p&gt;He explained: &amp;#8220;I write left handed, but I would play table &lt;span id=&quot;c63e2e7a-9b28-4571-8e93-f27ea9e16ffc&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/span&gt; right handed.&lt;/p&gt;
  13266.  
  13267.  
  13268.  
  13269. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think that might be bidextrous. &lt;/p&gt;

  13293. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s really boring, actually.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13294.  
  13295.  
  13296.  
  13297. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, a recording of the star&amp;#8217;s &lt;span id=&quot;fe9b4b1d-29a3-46a6-bfdc-2a7b6c564713&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Channel 5&lt;/span&gt; daytime programme &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30422634/jeremy-vine-show-chaos-fire-alarm-pulled-off-air/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;was thrown into chaos.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13298.  
  13299.  
  13300.  
  13301. &lt;p&gt;A fire alarm forced the show to go off air while the studio was evacuated.&lt;/p&gt;
  13302.  
  13303.  
  13304.  
  13305. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile,&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25421171/jeremy-vine-viewers-stunned-brands-caller-weird-live/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; viewers were left stunned in January&lt;/a&gt; when Jeremy brazenly branded a caller ‘weird’ live on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  13306.  
  13307.  
  13308.  
  13309. &lt;p&gt;Stephen from Coventry called into the programme to talk about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/recycling/&quot;&gt;recycling&lt;/a&gt;, however he ended up going on a political rant.&lt;/p&gt;
  13310.  
  13311.  
  13312.  
  13313. &lt;p&gt;An unimpressed Jeremy then said: &amp;#8220;Do you know this is a guy who always rings up.&lt;/p&gt;
  13314.  
  13315.  
  13316.  
  13317. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He uses a really tenuous connection and therefore he puts, did you even hear it? It was just like &amp;#8230;. Okay, thank you, Stephen.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  13629. &lt;p&gt;It is made up of nine people who have been chosen to govern Haiti in the absence of a president.&lt;/p&gt;
  13630.  
  13631.  
  13632.  
  13633. &lt;p&gt;Following on the public revenge attack on the gang, the dozens of remaining members set about causing more havoc as the week dragged on.&lt;/p&gt;
  13634.  
  13635.  
  13636.  
  13637. &lt;p&gt;Over 120 people have died since with over half of them being due to &amp;#8220;exchanges of fire between gang members and police”, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/human-rights/&quot;&gt;Human Rights&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13638.  
  13639.  
  13640.  
  13641. &lt;p&gt;Another 92 have been badly injured, the UN added.&lt;/p&gt;
  13642.  
  13643.  
  13644.  
  13645. &lt;p&gt;Haitian armed groups are now said to control at least 80 per cent of Port-au-Prince and appear to be hellbent on keeping control of the capital.&lt;/p&gt;
  13646.  
  13647.  
  13648.  
  13649. &lt;p&gt;Volker Türk, the UN high commissioner for human rights,&amp;nbsp;made a devastating declaration today saying: “Port-au-Prince’s estimated four million people are practically being held hostage as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gangs/&quot;&gt;gangs&lt;/a&gt; now control all the main roads in and out of the capital.&lt;/p&gt;
  13650.  
  13651.  
  13652.  
  13653. &lt;p&gt;“The latest upsurge in violence in Haiti’s capital is a harbinger of worse to come. &lt;/p&gt;
  13654.  
  13655.  
  13656.  
  13657. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The gang violence must be promptly halted. Haiti must not be allowed to descend further into chaos.”&lt;/p&gt;

  13670.  
  13671.  
  13672.  
  13673. &lt;p&gt;For more than two years, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22541448/worlds-most-dangerous-city-haiti-machete/&quot;&gt;warring factions have been tearing Port-au-Prince apart&lt;/a&gt;, turning every day into a fight for survival.&lt;/p&gt;
  13674.  
  13675.  
  13676.  
  13677. &lt;p&gt;Severe warnings over the capabilities of the militia were made earlier this month after they &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31650662/passenger-plane-gunfire-haiti/&quot;&gt;attacked an airport&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13678.  
  13679.  
  13680.  
  13681. &lt;p&gt;Moving planes were hit by gunfire and left international airlines suspending all flights into the city.&lt;/p&gt;
  13682.  
  13683.  
  13684.  
  13685. &lt;p&gt;A flight attendant was injured as gangs sprayed two planes.&lt;/p&gt;
  13686.  
  13687.  
  13688.  
  13689. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere in Haiti a number of upper-class areas have been invaded by gangs as they set fire to &lt;span id=&quot;489cde03-269f-4033-9964-91cae854131a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;homes&lt;/span&gt; and leave families ripped apart.&lt;/p&gt;
  13690.  
  13691.  
  13692.  
  13693. &lt;p&gt;As a result of the escalating gang violence, so-called self-defence brigades have taken justice into their own hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  13694.  
  13695.  
  13696.  
  13697. &lt;p&gt;A UN report said at least 528 cases of lynching were reported in 2023 with hundreds more so far in 2024.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27039321/brit-fled-haiti-brutal-gang-clashes-chopped-machetes/#&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13698.  
  13699.  
  13700.  
  13701. &lt;p&gt;Back in February &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/26332565/dangerous-city-civil-war-jail-massacre-haiti/&quot;&gt;armed groups even raided a prison&lt;/a&gt;, releasing more than 5,000 inmates.&lt;/p&gt;
  13702.  
  13703.  
  13704.  
  13705. &lt;p&gt;Since then, thugs have been setting government buildings alight and burning down police stations.&lt;/p&gt;
  13706.  
  13707.  
  13708.  
  13709. &lt;p&gt;As thousands have been slaughtered, assaulted, abused and severely threatened as unprecedented levels of criminality continue to overwhelm the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  13710.  
  13711.  
  13712.  
  13713. &lt;p&gt;The violence has exacerbated an already grim humanitarian situation, with warnings of famine, malnutrition and the collapse of basic services.&lt;/p&gt;
  13714.

  13726. &lt;div&gt;
  13727. &lt;p&gt;Barbecue &amp;#8211; who is rumoured to have earned his nickname for setting his victims on fire &amp;#8211; envisions himself as a &amp;#8220;revolutionary&amp;#8221;, a self-professed &amp;#8220;man of the people&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13728. &lt;p&gt;His methods involve the killing, maiming and extorting of anyone unlucky enough to fall within his turf &amp;#8211; turning every day into a constant battle for survival for residents.&lt;/p&gt;
  13729. &lt;p&gt;The fired cop turned warlord has been taking to the streets with a renewed vengeance and a plan to overthrow the government.&lt;/p&gt;
  13730. &lt;p&gt;He is currently sanctioned by the UK and its allies for &amp;#8220;engaging in acts threatening the peace, security and stability of Haiti&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13731. &lt;p&gt;And his influence is fast increasing as the country spirals into further turmoil sparked by the 2021 assassination of the country&amp;#8217;s Prime Minister Jovenal Moïse.&lt;/p&gt;
  13732. &lt;p&gt;Ever since, a security vacuum opened up and Barbecue has been greedily exploiting it, taking over territory and expanding his coalition with other gangs to wage further war.&lt;/p&gt;
  13733. &lt;p&gt;G9 has also been responsible for repeatedly cutting Haiti off from its much-needed fuel supply by taking its main&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oil/&quot;&gt;oil&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;terminal hostage.&lt;/p&gt;
  13734. &lt;p&gt;In a savage display of strength, Barbecue paralysed the country several times by preventing the distribution of food, water and vital medicines, plunging it into a deeper humanitarian crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  13735. &lt;p&gt;Barbecue&amp;#8217;s criminal career dates back to his time as a police officer, &lt;a href=&quot;https://insightcrime.org/haiti-organized-crime-news/jimmy-cherizier-alias-barbecue/#:~:text=History,of%20Port%2Dau%2DPrince.&quot;&gt;InSight Crime&lt;/a&gt; reports.&lt;/p&gt;
  13736. &lt;p&gt;He participated in an anti-gang operation in 2017, leading to the extrajudicial killing of nine civilians.&lt;/p&gt;
  13737. &lt;p&gt;In 2018, he led a group of seven gangs in a massacre in La Saline, Haiti&amp;#8217;s worst massacre in over a decade.&lt;/p&gt;
  13738. &lt;p&gt;Barbecue was then fired from the police force and a warrant was issued for his arrest.&lt;/p&gt;
  13739. &lt;p&gt;In 2019, he participated in a four-day attack across Port-au-Prince&amp;#8217;s Bel-Air neighborhood, killing at least 24 people.&lt;/p&gt;
  13740. &lt;/div&gt;
  13741. &lt;/div&gt;

  13786.  
  13787.  
  13788. &lt;p&gt;Roger &amp;#8220;Putzie&amp;#8221; is a character in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/4826431/grease-cast-now-olivia-newton-john/&quot;&gt;1978 film Grease&lt;/a&gt; -which starred &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/olivia-newton-john/&quot;&gt;Olivia Newton-John&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/john-travolta/&quot;&gt;John Travolta&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5998470/grease-where-are-they-now-40-years-release/&quot;&gt;portrayed by Kelly Ward&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  13814.  
  13815.  
  13816. &lt;p&gt;Kelly, who looks very different from his Putzie role, was spotted this week in California the day after his big day.&lt;/p&gt;
  13817.  
  13818.  
  13819.  
  13820. &lt;p&gt;Having just celebrated his birthday, Kelly was seen on Monday arriving at a voice-over studio in Glendale.&lt;/p&gt;
  13821.  
  13822.  
  13823.  
  13824. &lt;p&gt;Dressed in blue denim jeans, some sneakers, and a pink long-sleeved shirt, the actor also donned some thin-framed glasses and held onto a notebook.&lt;/p&gt;
  13825.  
  13826.  
  13827.  
  13828. &lt;p&gt;In the hit romance flick, Kelly&amp;#8217;s character Putzie has a girlfriend called Jan. &lt;/p&gt;
  13829.  
  13830.  
  13831.  
  13832. &lt;p&gt;Heading out on a date to Frosty Palace, Putzie was amazed that Jan didn&amp;#8217;t make him pay for a lot of food and even branded her a cheap date.&lt;/p&gt;
  13833.  
  13834.

  13841.  
  13842.  
  13843.  
  13844. &lt;p&gt;Worried that he had upset his girlfriend, Putzie tried to apologise but she had taken the compliment as intended and then invited him to her place for some of her mum&amp;#8217;s pie.&lt;/p&gt;
  13845.  
  13846.  
  13847.  
  13848. &lt;p&gt;Putzie was the one at&amp;nbsp;Thunder Road&amp;nbsp;who accidentally injured&amp;nbsp;fellow T-Bird Kenickie&amp;nbsp;in the head with the car door.&lt;/p&gt;
  13849.  
  13850.

  13853.  
  13854.  
  13855.  
  13856. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about starring in Grease, Kelly previously told &lt;a class=&quot;&quot; href=&quot;https://snakkle.com/where-are-they-now-interview-kelly-ward-grease-jake-and-the-never-land-pirates/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Snakkle&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;#8220;It’s a great thing to be a part of that phenomenon. &lt;/p&gt;
  13857.  
  13858.  
  13859.  
  13860. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s oft-repeated, but none of us really had any idea that it would be as successful and pervasive as it is,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

  13913. IT has been over 45 years since the release of hit musical film Grease, which began its decades-long tenure of dazzling fans in 1978. &lt;/p&gt;
  13915. &lt;div&gt;
  13916. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, including Susan Buckner, five of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/4826431/grease-cast-now-olivia-newton-john/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;much-loved cast&lt;/a&gt; have passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  13917. &lt;p&gt;On August 8, 2022 it was announced that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/27782625/grease-star-susan-buckner-dead-olvia-newton-john/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Olivia Newton-John had passed away aged 73&lt;/a&gt;, following a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/19455270/olivia-newton-john-cause-of-death-live/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;30 year battle with breast cancer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  13918. &lt;p&gt;After falling ill with pneumonia, Jeff Conaway &amp;#8211; Danny&amp;#8217;s best pal Kenickie in the movie &amp;#8211; sadly passed away in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
  13919. &lt;p&gt;The same year, Annette Charles, who played Cha Cha, lost her battle with cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
  13920. &lt;p&gt;In 1993, Dennis C. Stewart, who played rebel Leo, was diagnosed with HIV and passed away from AIDS in 1994.&lt;/p&gt;
  13921. &lt;/div&gt;
  13922. &lt;/div&gt;
  13923. &lt;/div&gt;
  13925.  
  13926.  
  13927.  
  13928. &lt;p&gt;The actor is also a screenwriter for several cartoons, and he even wrote the feature film All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 which came out in 1996.&lt;/p&gt;
  13929.  
  13930.  
  13931.  
  13932. &lt;p&gt;The original T-Bird has also contributed to the production of a number of major films, including Back to the Future and The Pink Panther TV series.&lt;/p&gt;
  13933.  
  13934.  
  13935.  
  13936. &lt;p&gt;In more recent years he has worked as a dialogue director on TV shows The Lion Guard, Woody Woodpecker, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and Mickey and the Roadster Racers.&lt;/p&gt;

  13976. &lt;p&gt;A MAP has revealed the UK&amp;#8217;s Grinch capital where the stingiest councils spend the least on Christmas cheer.&lt;/p&gt;
  13977.  
  13978.  
  13979.  
  13980. &lt;p&gt;As the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;festive season&lt;/a&gt; gets into full swing, communities across the nation will look forward to light displays and other jolly celebrations in their cities.&lt;/p&gt;

  13984. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31865367&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/2024/11/view-covent-garden-london-united-946844455.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a building with a sign that says ' jewellery ' on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31865367&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 map has revealed the UK&amp;#8217;s Grinch capital where the stingiest councils spend the least on Christmas cheer[/caption]
  13985.  
  13986.  
  13987.  
  13988. &lt;p&gt;But the degree of merriment may vary depending on where you live, as figures from &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Gardening Express  (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/blog/post/lighting-up-the-nation-uk-city-councils-christmas-lights-budgets-2024&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Gardening Express &lt;/a&gt;revealed the lowest UK council budgets.&lt;/p&gt;
  13989.  
  13990.  
  13991.  
  13992. &lt;p&gt;The data has been compiled into spending per 1,000 people, based on their overall cost and population. &lt;/p&gt;
  13993.  
  13994.  
  13995.  
  13996. &lt;p&gt;Ranking tenth in the tightest spenders was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/sheffield/&quot;&gt;Sheffield&lt;/a&gt;, who are only forking out £173 per 1,000 residents on Christmas festivities this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  13997.  
  13998.  
  13999.  
  14000. &lt;p&gt;A close ninth place was snapped up by&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/stoke-on-trent/&quot;&gt; Stoke-on-Trent&lt;/a&gt; where the council are only contributing £170.&lt;/p&gt;
  14001.  
  14002.  
  14003.  
  14004. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/plymouth/&quot;&gt;Plymouth&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/winchester/&quot;&gt;Winchester &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/doncaster/&quot;&gt;Doncaster &lt;/a&gt;are set to pour in just £141, £146, and £158 respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
  14005.  
  14006.  
  14007.  
  14008. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/salford/&quot;&gt;Salford &lt;/a&gt;council in Manchester is choosing to shell out £96, which is closely followed by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/nottingham/&quot;&gt;Nottingham &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; where the budget is £94.&lt;/p&gt;
  14009.  
  14010.  
  14011.  
  14012. &lt;p&gt;However, the top three lowest spenders don&amp;#8217;t even reach £90. &lt;/p&gt;
  14013.  
  14014.  
  14015.  
  14016. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/barnsley/&quot;&gt;Barnsley&lt;/a&gt;, in South Yorkshire, came in at third place, with a total of £89, while Lincoln, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/lincolnshire/&quot;&gt;Lincolnshire&lt;/a&gt;, has set aside £86.&lt;/p&gt;
  14017.  
  14018.  
  14019.  
  14020. &lt;p&gt;But, the council spending the least on their Christmas joy is St Albans City in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/hertfordshire/&quot;&gt;Hertforshire&lt;/a&gt;, with just £78.&lt;/p&gt;
  14021.  
  14022.  
  14023.  
  14024. &lt;p&gt;On the other end of the spectrum, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/glasgow/&quot;&gt;Glasgow &lt;/a&gt;was named as the biggest festive spender.&lt;/p&gt;
  14025.  
  14026.  
  14027.  
  14028. &lt;p&gt;The average spend per 1,000 people is expected to total a whopping £461.25 in comparison.&lt;/p&gt;
  14029.  
  14030.  
  14031.  
  14032. &lt;p&gt;St Albans City and District council was contacted for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  14033.  
  14034.  
  14035.  
  14036. &lt;p&gt;This comes as the 10 most magical Christmas light shows this year have been revealed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14037.  
  14038.  
  14039.  
  14040. &lt;p&gt;There are many stunning light shows across England from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/20784301/kew-gardens-frozen-london-christmas/&quot;&gt;Kew Gardens&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in London to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6715946/blenheim-palace-who-where-winston-churchill/&quot;&gt;Blenheim Palace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Oxfordshire.&lt;/p&gt;
  14041.  
  14042.  
  14043.  
  14044. &lt;p&gt;When Christmas arrives,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/25775533/kew-gardens-bluey-event-easter/&quot;&gt;Kew Gardens&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is lit up with more than a million bulbs.&lt;/p&gt;

  14053.  
  14054.  
  14055.  
  14056. &lt;p&gt;For non-members, it is a little bit more expensive with off-peak tickets costing £25.50 and peak tickets costing £32.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14057.  
  14058.  
  14059.  
  14060. &lt;p&gt;The grounds at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6715946/blenheim-palace-who-where-winston-churchill/&quot;&gt;Blenheim Palace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are also so beautiful that they have been used in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/harry-potter/&quot;&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/james-bond/&quot;&gt;James Bond&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/22882373/indiana-jones-dial-of-destiny-filming-locations/&quot;&gt;Indiana Jones&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;— but&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is really something special.&lt;/p&gt;
  14061.  
  14062.  
  14063.  
  14064. &lt;p&gt;Kids will love the Neverland in the palace experience, which gives them the opportunity to explore the sparkling state rooms, complete with a model London skyline&lt;/p&gt;
  14065.  
  14066.  
  14067.

  14069.  
  14070.  
  14071.  
  14072. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Bedgebury is home to a one-mile magical winter trail which has fields of light and giant, luminous seed pods.&lt;/p&gt;
  14073.  
  14074.  
  14075.  
  14076. &lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll get the chance to walk through sparkling tunnels of light and the forest is drenched in all of the colours of the rainbow.&lt;/p&gt;
  14077.  
  14078.  
  14079.  
  14080. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s perfect for a little&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/24652633/cold-christmas-winter-hack-home-bargains-game-changer/&quot;&gt;Christmas warmth&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on a cold December day.&lt;/p&gt;
  14081.  
  14082.  
  14083.  
  14084. &lt;p&gt;Christmas at Bedgebury runs from November 14 to December 31, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  14085.  
  14086.  
  14087.

  14097.  
  14098.

  14152.  
  14153.  
  14154.  
  14155. &lt;p&gt;VLADIMIR Putin has warned he could strike British and US military facilities after Ukraine used ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles inside Russian territory. &lt;/p&gt;
  14156.  
  14157.  
  14158.  
  14159. &lt;p&gt;The dictator revealed Ukraine was today blasted with a new kind of ballistic missile that hurtled down from the edge of space in a “depraved” act of nuclear brinksmanship.&lt;/p&gt;
  14160.  
  14161.

  14172.  
  14173.  
  14174.  
  14175. &lt;p&gt;In a televised address today, Putin said: &amp;#8220;Russia considers itself entitled to use weapons against military facilities of countries that permit the use of their weapons against Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
  14176.  
  14177.  
  14178.  
  14179. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Since this moment, as we have underscored repeatedly, the conflict in Ukraine, provoked by the West, has acquired elements of global nature.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  14180.  
  14181.  
  14182.  
  14183. &lt;p&gt;Kyiv today claimed that Ukraine was hit with what was thought to be the first use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the war as part of Russia&amp;#8217;s revenge blitz.&lt;/p&gt;
  14184.  
  14185.  
  14186.  
  14187. &lt;p&gt;Video showed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31823079/russia-ukraine-putin-revenge-ballistic-missile/&quot;&gt;rockets raining down on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; reportedly six different warheads from a nuclear-capable Russian R-26 Rubezh ICBM.&lt;/p&gt;
  14188.  
  14189.  
  14190.  
  14191. &lt;p&gt;However, in the same address, he announced the Russian forces instead tested a new intermediate-range missile (IRBM) in a strike on Ukraine. &lt;/p&gt;
  14192.  
  14193.  
  14194.  
  14195. &lt;p&gt;He warned that it could use the weapon against countries that have allowed Kyiv to use its missiles to strike Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
  14196.  
  14197.  
  14198.  
  14199. &lt;p&gt;Zelensky said the “new Russian missile” reached the speed and heights of an ICBM.&lt;/p&gt;
  14200.  
  14201.  
  14202.  
  14203. &lt;p&gt;ICBMs have a range of over 5,500km and were designed for nuclear war.&lt;/p&gt;
  14204.  
  14205.  
  14206.  
  14207. &lt;p&gt;They blast into the edge of space and can reach speeds of 13,000mph before hurtling almost down to their targets.&lt;/p&gt;
  14208.  
  14209.  
  14210.  
  14211. &lt;p&gt;Britain’s defence secretary John Healey said Russia had been planning the strike “for months”.&lt;/p&gt;
  14212.  
  14213.  
  14214.  
  14215. &lt;p&gt;Russia refused to comment on the type of missile used.&lt;/p&gt;
  14216.  
  14217.  
  14218.  
  14219. &lt;p&gt;In a bizarre moment captured on camera, Russia&amp;#8217;s foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31850946/russian-spokeswoman-call-shut-up-putins-icbm-strike/&quot;&gt;told halfway through a press briefing not to comment on the suspected ICBM strike&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14243. &lt;p&gt;She could be seen answering a call in the middle of the televised conference.&lt;/p&gt;
  14244.  
  14245.  
  14246.  
  14247. &lt;p&gt;The conversation was overheard via her mic &amp;#8211; with a presumably senior diplomat saying: &amp;#8220;Masha [Maria], ballistic missile strikes on Yuzhmash [defence plant in Dnipro].&lt;/p&gt;
  14248.  
  14249.  
  14250.  
  14251. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Westerners are talking about it now. Don’t comment at all.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14252.  
  14253.  
  14254.  
  14255. &lt;p&gt;The strike was part of a nine-missile blitz on the central city of Dnipro in the early hours of Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
  14256.  
  14257.  
  14258.  
  14259. &lt;p&gt;Ukraine’s Air Force said an alleged ICBM was launched from Russia’s Astrakhan region around 1000km from Dnipro.&lt;/p&gt;
  14260.  
  14261.  
  14262.  
  14263. &lt;p&gt;Kyiv&amp;#8217;s media claimed the missile was an RS-26 Rubezh missile with a range of 5,800km.&lt;/p&gt;
  14264.  
  14265.  
  14266.  
  14267. &lt;p&gt;If confirmed, it would be the first time an ICBM has ever been fired in anger.&lt;/p&gt;
  14268.  
  14269.  
  14270.  
  14271. &lt;p&gt;Western officials confirmed that a ballistic missile was used but they cautioned that its range was short of ICBM threshold.&lt;/p&gt;
  14272.  
  14273.  
  14274.  
  14275. &lt;p&gt;The Rubezh is 12m long, weighs 36 tonnes and is launched from a 16-wheel vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;
  14276.  
  14277.  
  14278.  
  14279. &lt;p&gt;It can carry an 800kg nuclear warhead and reach every country in the northern hemisphere from launch sites on Russian soil.&lt;/p&gt;
  14280.  
  14281.  
  14282.  
  14283. &lt;p&gt;The strike came a day after America shut its embassies in Kyiv over fears of a “significant missile strike”.&lt;/p&gt;
  14284.  
  14285.  
  14286.  
  14287. &lt;p&gt;Britain kept its embassy open.&lt;/p&gt;
  14288.  
  14289.  
  14290.  
  14291. &lt;p&gt;Ukraine used the ATACMS rockets to hit a military depot in Bryansk &amp;#8211; marking a major development on day 1000 of the brutal war.&lt;/p&gt;
  14292.  
  14293.  
  14294.  
  14295. &lt;p&gt;Footage last night revealed the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31833091/brit-supplied-storm-shadow-missile-russia-ukraine/&quot;&gt;moment Ukraine reportedly fired Storm Shadow rockets inside Russia&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;

  14311. &lt;p&gt;Russia’s ambassador to the UK, Andrei Kelin, claimed the use of Storm Shadow missiles against a military site in Russia meant Britain “is now directly involved in this war”.&lt;/p&gt;
  14312.  
  14313.  
  14314.  
  14315. &lt;p&gt;Moscow has made similar claims in the past over Western support for Ukraine.&lt;/p&gt;

  14319. &lt;p&gt;On Tuesday President Putin signed a new nuclear doctrine to lower the threshold for doomsday strikes.&lt;/p&gt;
  14320.  
  14321.  
  14322.  
  14323. &lt;p&gt;The policy, months in the making, lets Russia unleash a nuclear first strike if it is attacked by a country backed by a nuclear power.&lt;/p&gt;
  14324.  
  14325.  
  14326.  
  14327. &lt;p&gt;Unconfirmed footage showed multiple blasts over Dnipro consistent with a type of warhead known as a multiple independent reentry vehicle or MIRV.&lt;/p&gt;
  14328.  
  14329.  
  14330.  
  14331. &lt;p&gt;MIRVs were designed in the 1960s to let one nuclear missile carry several doomsday warheads.&lt;/p&gt;
  14332.  
  14333.  
  14334.

  14347. &lt;p&gt;EXCLUSIVE by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/sayan-bosethe-sun-co-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sayan Bose&lt;/a&gt;, Foreign News Reporter, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/georgie-english/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Georgie English&lt;/a&gt;, Foreign News Reporter&lt;/p&gt;
  14348. &lt;p&gt;Today marks 1,000 days of Vlad&amp;#8217;s gruelling war in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ukraine/&quot;&gt;Ukraine&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that has left more than a million soldiers and civilians dead or wounded.&lt;/p&gt;
  14349. &lt;p&gt;Putin&amp;#8217;s forces invaded their neighbouring nation in February 2022 as part of the deluded tyrant&amp;#8217;s plan to rebuild the Soviet Union amid his paranoid fears over&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nato/&quot;&gt;Nato&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14350. &lt;p&gt;Almost three years later,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kyiv/&quot;&gt;Kyiv&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;battle-weary troops are fighting to the death on multiple fronts.&lt;/p&gt;
  14351. &lt;p&gt;They have faced several setbacks in the grinding conflict as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/russia/&quot;&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has made slow but incremental gains over Ukrainian territory.&lt;/p&gt;
  14352. &lt;p&gt;But the green light from the US that now allows Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles could be a game changer, an expert has said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14353. &lt;p&gt;Colonel&amp;nbsp;Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Sun how Ukraine could turn the war around in six weeks when provided with unwavering support from key allies in the West.&lt;/p&gt;
  14354. &lt;p&gt;The former British&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/army/&quot;&gt;army&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;officer said Washington&amp;#8217;s decision to allow Ukraine to use ATACMS &amp;#8211; and the prospect of Britain&amp;#8217;s Storm Shadow missiles joining the war effort &amp;#8211; is a &amp;#8220;significant development&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14355. &lt;p&gt;He explained: &amp;#8220;Since day one Putin and his close aides have been threatening a nuclear strike if we escalate it, and today is the 1,000th day of this conflict, and it hasn&amp;#8217;t happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  14356. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It should embolden our leaders, who must now realise that Putin&amp;#8217;s threats are completely hollow.&lt;/p&gt;
  14357. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With the Russian boxer on the ropes, now is the time that we enable the Ukrainians to absolutely put in the killer punch and be in a really good position for the expected ceasefire.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14358. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;The fact that the Russians have been so vehement in their verbal attacks against the use of Nato missiles shows that this is a significant step.&lt;/p&gt;
  14359. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It could allow Ukraine to gain a good position in [the next] six weeks which will be important for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/volodymyr-zelensky/&quot;&gt;Zelensky&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if Trump forces a ceasefire after getting back in office.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14360. &lt;/div&gt;

  14423.  
  14424.  
  14425.  
  14426. &lt;p&gt;THREE rugby heroes were gobsmacked by a skirmish with teens in Nando&amp;#8217;s sparked by a lad yelling: &amp;#8220;Where&amp;#8217;s the f*****g medium sauce?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14427.  
  14428.  
  14429.  
  14430. &lt;p&gt;Drew Mitchell told how he got punched on a &amp;#8220;cheeky&amp;#8221; trip to a Cardiff restaurant with fellow ex-Wallabies&amp;nbsp;Adam Ashley-Cooper and Matt Giteau.&lt;/p&gt;

  14435.  
  14436.  
  14437.  
  14438. &lt;p&gt;The trio could hardly believe&amp;nbsp;their bizarre experience on what they thought would be a peaceful day&amp;nbsp;watching&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31761304/england-vs-south-africa-rugby-report/#:~:text=MORE%20RED%20WOES-,England%2020%20South%20Africa%2029%3A%20Red%20Rose%20edged%20out%20again,Springboks%20inflict%20fifth%20straight%20defeat&amp;amp;text=ENGLAND%20slumped%20to%20a%20FIFTH,best%20effort%20of%20the%20autumn.&quot;&gt;England v South Africa&lt;/a&gt; then New Zealand v France game &amp;#8211; ahead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/16761087/wales-australia-rugby-live-stream-free-score-tv-watch-autumn-international-online/page/2/&quot;&gt;Wales vs Australia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14439.  
  14440.  
  14441.  
  14442. &lt;p&gt;They saw, when they asked one youth in the angry exchange how old he was, he flexed his muscles and roared: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m 16!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14443.  
  14444.  
  14445.  
  14446. &lt;p&gt;The athletic threesome revealed their unexpected&amp;nbsp;encounter&amp;nbsp;in the Welsh capital on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9yArmIORCY&amp;amp;t=1s&quot;&gt;For The Love Of Rugby podcast,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;hosted by England&amp;#8217;s record-appearance maker Ben Youngs.&lt;/p&gt;
  14447.  
  14448.  
  14449.  
  14450. &lt;p&gt;Mitchell piqued Youngs&amp;#8217; interest by revealing:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;It was a tough train trip this morning from Cardiff.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14451.  
  14452.  
  14453.  
  14454. &lt;p&gt;The 127-cap presenter then asked: &amp;#8220;Did something happen in Nando&amp;#8217;s when you first arrived?&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; with all three replying: &amp;#8220;Oh, yeah.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14455.  
  14456.  
  14457.  
  14458. &lt;p&gt;Mitchell, 40, said: &amp;#8220;We watched &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/&quot;&gt;England v South Africa&lt;/a&gt;. We just thought we&amp;#8217;ll go for a cheeky Nando&amp;#8217;s before New Zealand v France.&lt;/p&gt;
  14459.  
  14460.  
  14461.  
  14462. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was lining up and the restaurant was completely packed. This bloke just came over the side and said, &amp;#8216;where&amp;#8217;s the f*****g medium sauce?&amp;#8217; &lt;/p&gt;
  14463.  
  14464.  
  14465.  
  14466. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was like, &amp;#8216;mate, you alright? There&amp;#8217;s a line here&amp;#8217;. And he goes, &amp;#8216;what? F*** off, mate. Where&amp;#8217;s the medium sauce?&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;

  14471.  
  14472.  
  14473.  
  14474. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I said, &amp;#8216;No, mate. F*** off&amp;#8217;. Then it kicked off a little bit. You know one of those little chavs getting all big. &lt;/p&gt;
  14475.  
  14476.  
  14477.  
  14478. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was a pretty small looking dude. I&amp;#8217;m looking at him, and then I get clocked from the side by his little mate. And then he started to really kick off.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14502. &lt;p&gt;Ashley-Cooper, also 40, interjected:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;He got you clean&amp;#8221; Ashley-Cooper and added. &amp;#8220;I said, &amp;#8216;how old are you?&amp;#8217; He goes, &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m 16!&amp;#8217; [flexes arms].&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14503.  
  14504.

  14506. &lt;p&gt;From there&amp;nbsp;the tale became even more crazy, according to&amp;nbsp;Mitchell.&lt;/p&gt;
  14507.  
  14508.  
  14509.  
  14510. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;All the security from the bar we were in &amp;#8211; Boom Battle Bar [in the Brewery Quarter]&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; came in. There were like six security guards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14511.  
  14512.  
  14513.  
  14514. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They kicked these three blokes out, and they were like, &amp;#8216;do you want us to go to the cops?&amp;#8217; I was, like, &amp;#8216;mate, it&amp;#8217;s fine. Just make sure they&amp;#8217;re not outside just waiting to shank us when we walk out&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14515.  
  14516.  
  14517.  
  14518. &lt;p&gt;Giteau, 42, then told the podcast: &amp;#8220;You did very well. &lt;/p&gt;
  14519.  
  14520.  
  14521.  
  14522. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was like, &amp;#8216;Drew, we don&amp;#8217;t need this&amp;#8217;. We just got here, you know what I mean &amp;#8211; in the papers that he&amp;#8217;s ended up flogging a 16-year-old.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14523.  
  14524.  
  14525.  
  14526. &lt;p&gt;Ashley-Cooper added: &amp;#8220;And it&amp;#8217;s a family restaurant!&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14527.  
  14528.  
  14529.  
  14530. &lt;p&gt;To which Youngs joked: &amp;#8220;I love how he was scared of a 16-year-old waiting for him outside.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14531.  
  14532.  
  14533.  
  14534. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for Wales &amp;#8211; but to the joy of the Oz trio &amp;#8211; then Wallabies then handed out a painful beating: a record 11th defeat in a row for the Dragons, by 50-22.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  14577. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEGENDARY commentator Clive Tyldesley has revealed his final match on UK television could be as soon as next month.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14578.  
  14579.  
  14580.  
  14581. &lt;p&gt;Tyldesley has worked in TV and radio for the last 32 years, covering both domestic and international football.&lt;/p&gt;
  14582.  
  14583.  
  14584.

  14586.  
  14587.  
  14588.  
  14589. &lt;p&gt;He was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28843193/clive-tyldesley-itv-germany-denmark/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;axed by ITV after commentating on Euro 2024&lt;/a&gt; but vowed to stay in broadcasting.&lt;/p&gt;
  14590.  
  14591.  
  14592.  
  14593. &lt;p&gt;The 70-year-old quickly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28888318/clive-tyldesley-new-job-itv-cbs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;snapped up a new job with US network CBS&lt;/a&gt; but kept his role with Amazon Prime where he covers the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14594.  
  14595.  
  14596.  
  14597. &lt;p&gt;However, because Amazon&amp;#8217;s deal with England&amp;#8217;s top flight set to expire soon, his final game commentating for UK audiences is quickly approaching.&lt;/p&gt;
  14598.  
  14599.  
  14600.  
  14601. &lt;p&gt;Tyldesley&amp;#8217;s final Prem match for the channel could be &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;&amp;#8216;s clash with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225644/brentford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brentford&lt;/a&gt; during the Christmas period.&lt;/p&gt;
  14602.  
  14603.  
  14604.  
  14605. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2024/11/a-three-horse-race-neil-clive-tyldesley/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Anfield Wrap&lt;/a&gt; podcast, he explained: &amp;#8220;What actually could be the final game I ever commentate for UK television is Brighton-Brentford. That won&amp;#8217;t be dull.&lt;/p&gt;
  14606.  
  14607.  
  14608.  
  14609. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s on 27 December. Amazon Prime, this is their final year, so the Premier League going forward is going back to a two-man cartel of Sky and TNT.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14610.  
  14611.  
  14612.  
  14613. &lt;p&gt;Amazon did not enter the running for Prem broadcast rights from 2025-26 onwards.&lt;/p&gt;
  14614.  
  14615.  
  14616.  
  14617. &lt;p&gt;Instead, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sky-sports/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sky Sports&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tnt-sports/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;TNT Sports&lt;/a&gt; won the process and will continue sharing the rights.&lt;/p&gt;
  14618.

  14622.  
  14623.  
  14624.  
  14625. &lt;p&gt;After announcing his new job with CBS back in July, Tyldesley explained: &amp;#8220;All I can do is keeping reviewing my own standards, keep making myself available.&lt;/p&gt;
  14626.  
  14627.  
  14628.  
  14629. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If someone like CBS &amp;#8211; who have given me a four-year contract to cover Champions League for the USA &amp;#8211; show that sort of confidence in me then I can only assure you I will repay that faith by working bloody hard and trying to be as good as I can be.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14665. &lt;p&gt;Laura Woods is dominating the media landscape at the moment, leading TNT Sports&amp;#8217; coverage and ITV&amp;#8217;s.&lt;/p&gt;
  14666. &lt;p&gt;Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas are two of the fresher faces for the BBC&amp;#8217;s sporting output.&lt;/p&gt;
  14667. &lt;p&gt;Then, it&amp;#8217;s the old guard of Gary Lineker and Mark Chapman who also command hefty fees for their Match of the Day programmes.&lt;/p&gt;
  14668. &lt;p&gt;SunSport has taken a look at how those big names rank and compiled a list of the top 10 highest earning stars that grace our TV screens.&lt;/p&gt;
  14669. &lt;p&gt;With number one worth a whopping £29.4million more than number 10!&lt;/p&gt;

  14732.  
  14733.  
  14734.  
  14735. &lt;p&gt;The sign, which gives directions to Santa&amp;#8217;s workshop, elf village, and reindeer stables, was originally priced at £6.99 but was reduced to just £2.99. &lt;/p&gt;
  14736.  
  14737.  
  14738.  
  14739. &lt;p&gt;However, stunned shoppers found that the sign, which read &amp;#8220;Welcome to the North Pole,&amp;#8221; was missing the &amp;#8216;e&amp;#8217; in &amp;#8220;the.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14740.  
  14741.  
  14742.  
  14743. &lt;p&gt;Now, shoppers have discovered another issue with a different &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/christmas-2/&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/a&gt; product. &lt;/p&gt;
  14744.

  14748.  
  14749.  
  14750.  
  14751. &lt;p&gt;She posted a picture of them and wrote, &amp;#8220;Perfect for bedtime milk with Christmas jammies.&lt;/p&gt;
  14752.  
  14753.  
  14754.  
  14755. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And they look fab on my hot chocolate station.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14756.  
  14757.  
  14758.  
  14759. &lt;p&gt;The shopper bought one Santa Claus-themed bottle in red and another in a green elf theme but didn’t realise the mistake until eagle-eyed festive fans pointed it out. &lt;/p&gt;
  14760.  
  14761.  
  14762.  
  14763. &lt;p&gt;On the green bottle, it correctly reads: &amp;#8220;I’m on the &lt;span id=&quot;f7ff6ce7-caf7-4abf-a39a-f576f7717440&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; list.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  14764.  
  14765.  
  14766.  
  14767. &lt;p&gt;But on the red bottle, which is supposed to read &amp;#8220;Jingle all the way,&amp;#8221; it instead reads &amp;#8220;Jinlgle all the way.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14768.

  15068. &lt;p&gt;He was appointed vicar at St Mary the Virgin in Finedon, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/northamptonshire/&quot;&gt;Northamptonshire&lt;/a&gt;, in 2011 but decided to retire in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  15069. &lt;h2&gt;Life as a popstar&lt;/h2&gt;
  15070. &lt;p&gt;Richard found fame as a member of The Communards, which he formed in 1984 alongside his friend Jimmy Somerville.&lt;/p&gt;
  15071. &lt;p&gt;They formed the band in 1984 after Jimmy left Bronski Beat.&lt;/p&gt;
  15072. &lt;p&gt;Richard lived a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rock-music/&quot;&gt;rock &amp;#8216;n&amp;#8217; roll&lt;/a&gt; lifestyle and admitted to keeping a separate &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4260627/reverend-richard-coles-stricty-come-dancing-the-communards/&quot;&gt;bank account purely to pay his drug dealer.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15073. &lt;p&gt;He said: “How much have I spent on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt; in my life?&lt;/p&gt;
  15074. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Well, more than a clergyman should.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15075. &lt;p&gt;After attending a mass at St Albans church in central London in 1990, he said he was &amp;#8220;suddenly inspired with a new found faith&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  15094. &lt;p&gt;The Sun exclusively revealed how Richard has signed up to take part in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31463407/im-a-celebrity-start-date-line-up/&quot;&gt;I&amp;#8217;m A Celebrity 2024&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15095. &lt;p&gt;He will be joining the show alongside Maura Higgins and the pair will be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31858597/im-a-celeb-jungle-junkyard-maura-higgins/&quot;&gt;staying in the Jungle Junkyard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15096. &lt;p&gt;The Jungle Junkyard has been described as &amp;#8220;squalor&amp;#8221; and a source told MailOnline that Richard and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31861463/maura-higgins-im-a-celeb-jungle-hell/&quot;&gt;Maura&lt;/a&gt; are in for the &amp;#8220;shock of their lives&amp;#8221; when they see it.&lt;/p&gt;
  15097. &lt;h2&gt;Richard&amp;#8217;s surprising wealth&lt;/h2&gt;
  15098. &lt;p&gt;It was also revealed that Richard&amp;#8217;s music career and his appearances on TV shows including Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity MasterChef has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31837658/im-a-celebrity-reverend-richard-coles-millionaire/&quot;&gt;made him a very rich man&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15099. &lt;p&gt;His firm Mistramark Ltd reportedly made a £940,000 profit between 2022 and 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  15100. &lt;p&gt;The vicar has released several successful crime novels and a hit autobiography which have added a huge amount of money to his rather healthy nest egg.&lt;/p&gt;
  15101. &lt;h2&gt;Sad loss&lt;/h2&gt;
  15102. &lt;p&gt;Richard is an openly gay man who was in a long-term relationship with the late &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/10568169/who-rev-david-coles-richard-coles-partner-vicar/&quot;&gt;Rev David Coles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15103. &lt;p&gt;The couple were in a celibate, civil partnership and didn&amp;#8217;t have any children.&lt;/p&gt;
  15104. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, David died in 2019 and Richard didn&amp;#8217;t reveal his partner&amp;#8217;s cause of death until two years later.&lt;/p&gt;

  15239. &lt;p&gt;In his book The Madness Of Grief: A Memoir Of Love And Loss, Richard opened up about his devastating loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  15240. &lt;p&gt;He talked about how it was &amp;#8220;tough&amp;#8221; to watch David &amp;#8220;destroy himself&amp;#8221; and said he did everything he could &amp;#8220;think of to help him&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  15242. &lt;h2&gt;New love&lt;/h2&gt;
  15243. &lt;p&gt;In June 2023, Richard revealed on ITV&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/lorraine/&quot;&gt;Lorraine&lt;/a&gt; that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/22509217/strictly-star-finds-love-again-after-tragic-death-partner/&quot;&gt;he has found love again&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15244. &lt;p&gt;His new partner is actor Richard Cant, son of the late actor and children’s TV presenter &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3836386/brian-cant-dead-aged-83/&quot;&gt;Brian Cant&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15245. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about his new relationship, Richard told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23594363.reverend-richard-coles-life-sussex-politics-new-book/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;The Argus&lt;/a&gt;:“The big personal news is that I’ve met someone and am now in a relationship, which is lovely.&lt;/p&gt;
  15246. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We met just before Christmas – it was my first go on a dating app and it’s worked very well.&lt;/p&gt;
  15247. &lt;p&gt;“He’s lovely, he’s kind, funny, thoughtful, interesting – and he likes me.&lt;/p&gt;
  15248. &lt;p&gt;“If you’re dating in your golden years, you don’t exactly cut to the chase.&lt;/p&gt;
  15249. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You’re not looking for a roller-coaster – you tend to be looking for a smooth limousine so things are sort of steady and nice, which I like.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  15323.  
  15324. &lt;p&gt;Appearing on the most recent episode of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/show/7LuQv400JFzzlJrOuMukRj&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Louis Theroux Podcast&lt;/a&gt;, the model discussed her views on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cosmetic-surgery/&quot;&gt;cosmetic surgeries&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/anti-ageing/&quot;&gt;ageing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with the host.&lt;/p&gt;
  15325.  
  15326.  
  15327.  
  15328. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about her many surgeries and touch-ups, she revealed: &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;re going smaller in two weeks: they&amp;#8217;re too big. It&amp;#8217;s terrible isn&amp;#8217;t it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15329.  
  15330.  
  15331.  
  15332. &lt;p&gt;Touching on the subject of whether her multiple surgeries were due to mental &lt;span id=&quot;a99cd59a-d918-4395-9cf5-29adcc51e26c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; issues, she admitted: &amp;#8220;I always said I haven&amp;#8217;t got body dysmorphia but there&amp;#8217;s definitely something, I don&amp;#8217;t know what it is&amp;#8230; &lt;/p&gt;
  15333.  
  15334.  
  15335.  
  15336. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve never looked in the mirror and thought I&amp;#8217;m pretty or whatever.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15337.  
  15338.  
  15339.

  15341.  
  15342.  
  15343.  
  15344. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s another thing I have to get to grasps with myself about the surgery thing. I don&amp;#8217;t know if it&amp;#8217;s body dysmorphia or what I&amp;#8217;m trying to gain out of it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15345.  
  15346.  
  15347.  
  15348. &lt;p&gt;The brunette bombshell continued: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not afraid of getting old: I like getting old because you become wiser. But with the face and that I just think if there&amp;#8217;s something to tweak it&amp;#8217;s just easy to do.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  15349.  
  15350.  
  15351.  
  15352. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, Katie was spotted showing off her facelift while&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/30791502/katie-price-facelift-bikini-in-cyprus/&quot;&gt;on holiday in Cyprus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15353.  
  15354.  
  15355.  
  15356. &lt;p&gt;The work, which was revealed to cost £10,000, resulted in a tight jaw and eye line for the former&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/models/&quot;&gt;model&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  15389.  
  15390.  
  15391.  
  15392. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And then when I was 18, I had them done so I‘ve always liked that look but I’ve never looked in the mirror and thought: ‘Oh, I’m pretty.'&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15393.  
  15394.  
  15395.

  15430. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1998&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction&lt;/p&gt;
  15431. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1999&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup&lt;/p&gt;
  15432. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2006&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup&lt;/p&gt;
  15433. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2007&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth&lt;/p&gt;
  15434. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2008&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup&lt;/p&gt;
  15435. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2011&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers&lt;/p&gt;
  15436. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2014/5&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed&lt;/p&gt;
  15437. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2016&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers&lt;/p&gt;
  15438. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2017&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; After a disastrous &amp;#8216;threading&amp;#8217; facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup&lt;/p&gt;
  15439. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2018&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift&lt;/p&gt;
  15440. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2019&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck&lt;/p&gt;
  15441. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2020&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers&lt;/p&gt;
  15442. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2021&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211;&amp;nbsp; In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction&lt;/p&gt;
  15443. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes &amp;#8216;biggest ever&amp;#8217; boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total&lt;/p&gt;
  15444. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2023&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year&lt;/p&gt;
  15445. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2024 &amp;#8211;&lt;/strong&gt; Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection&lt;/p&gt;

  15505. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Who was Simone White?&lt;/h2&gt;
  15506.  
  15507.  
  15508.  
  15509. &lt;p&gt;Simone White was from Orpington, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kent/&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15510.  
  15511.  
  15512.  
  15513. &lt;p&gt;The 28-year-old was an associate lawyer specialising in technology and intellectual property at the London office of the American law firm Squire Patton Boggs.&lt;/p&gt;
  15514.  
  15515.  
  15516.  
  15517. &lt;p&gt;After completing her A-levels at St Olave&amp;#8217;s Grammar School in Orpington, she studied law at Newcastle University before taking the fast-track course at the BPP law school.&lt;/p&gt;
  15518.  
  15519.  
  15520.  
  15521. &lt;p&gt;According to her Facebook page, she had studied abroad at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  15522.  
  15523.  
  15524.  
  15525. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What happened to Simone White?&lt;/h2&gt;
  15526.  
  15527.  
  15528.  
  15529. &lt;p&gt;In November 2024, Simone, along with other holidaymakers, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31856685/holiday-warning-killed-brit-hospital-fake-booze-poisoning-laos/&quot;&gt;were reportedly &amp;#8216;poisoned&amp;#8217; at the Nana Backpacker Hostel&lt;/a&gt; in the popular resort town of Vang Vieng in Laos.&lt;/p&gt;
  15530.  
  15531.  
  15532.  
  15533. &lt;p&gt;At least 11 people, including Brits, remain in hospital after allegedly being served laced drinks at a bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  15534.

  15538.  
  15539.  
  15540.  
  15541. &lt;p&gt;Simone&amp;#8217;s friend, Bethany Clarke, a healthcare worker also from Orpington, took to the Laos Backpacking Facebook group to warn other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/travellers/&quot;&gt;travellers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15542.  
  15543.  
  15544.  
  15545. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Urgent — please avoid all local spirits. Our group stayed in Vang Vieng and we drank free shots offered by one of the bars.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  15570.  
  15571.

  15582.

  15590.  
  15591.  
  15592.  
  15593. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The amount of methanol in her body was high, leading to swelling of the brain.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  15601. &lt;p&gt;Governments in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt; and Britain have previously warned travellers to exercise caution with alcoholic drinks in Laos. &lt;/p&gt;
  15602.  
  15603.  
  15604.  
  15605. &lt;p&gt;Methanol, a toxic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alcohol/&quot;&gt;alcohol&lt;/a&gt; used industrially as a solvent, pesticide, and fuel source, can be deadly when consumed, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.&lt;/p&gt;

  15610.  
  15611.  
  15612.  
  15613. &lt;p&gt;He insisted the alcohol came from a certified distributor and had not been tampered with by staff.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15614.  
  15615.  
  15616.  
  15617. &lt;p&gt;“Right now the police [are telling] every hostel and hotel and bar to stop selling drinks in Vang Vieng,&amp;#8221; Toan told the Associated Press.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15618.  
  15619.  
  15620.  
  15621. &lt;p&gt;He added in an interview with the Australian broadcaster ABC: “The police in Vang Vieng and [the capital] Vientiane already came to the hostel to check, the shop [where] we buy the vodka, check the shop [where] we buy the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/whisky/&quot;&gt;whisky&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  15626.  
  15627.  
  15628.

  15635.  
  15636.  
  15637. &lt;p&gt;In response, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) issued an urgent &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/laos/safety-and-security&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;warning&lt;/a&gt; about counterfeit alcohol in the region. &lt;/p&gt;
  15638.  
  15639.  
  15640.  
  15641. &lt;p&gt;“Methanol has been used in the manufacture of counterfeit replicas of well-known alcohol brands or illegal local spirits, like vodka,&amp;#8221; the FCDO said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15642.  
  15643.  
  15644.  
  15645. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You should take care if offered, particularly for free, or when buying spirit-based drinks. If labels, smell, or taste seem wrong then do not drink.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15646.  
  15647.

  15729.  
  15730. &lt;p&gt;“Currently Roman’s liver isn’t responding to the steroid treatment as well as we’d hope.

  15777. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;TOP Gear saw a change in presenters following long-time host Jeremy Clarkson&amp;#8217;s exit in 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
  15778.  
  15779.  
  15780.  
  15781. &lt;p&gt;While many hosts have stuck around for several years Jason Dawe, who fronted the 2002 reboot of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/24807069/top-gear-cancelled-presenters-flintoff-crash-accident/&quot;&gt;the motoring show&lt;/a&gt;, only presented a single series before parting ways with the popular franchise.&lt;/p&gt;
  15782.  
  15783.  
  15784.  
  15785. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_25771450&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/2024/02/FESTO180-JPG-JS3218537.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Goodwood Festival of Speed, Sunday July 13th 2003:Jason Dawe at the Sunday Times supercar enclosure.Picture by Andrew Hasson, July 13th 2003.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-25771450&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;638&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Jason Dawe has continued to work as a motor expert following his exit from Top Gear&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Andrew Hasson&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  15789. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;The car enthusiast&lt;/h2&gt;
  15790.  
  15791.  
  15792.  
  15793. &lt;p&gt;Jason Dawe is a journalist and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/television/&quot;&gt;television&lt;/a&gt; presenter.&lt;/p&gt;
  15794.  
  15795.  
  15796.  
  15797. &lt;p&gt;He was born on May 4, 1967, in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cornwall/&quot;&gt;Cornwall&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  15798.  
  15799.  
  15800.  
  15801. &lt;p&gt;Dawe was always a lover of cars.&lt;/p&gt;
  15802.  
  15803.  
  15804.  
  15805. &lt;p&gt;Before he even embarked on a career in the media, Jason worked at car dealerships and as a motoring industry trainer.&lt;/p&gt;
  15806.  
  15807.  
  15808.  
  15809. &lt;p&gt;He became a familiar face on TV when he started presenting the 2002 series of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/top-gear/&quot;&gt;Top Gear&lt;/a&gt;, when the show was rebooted on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-two/&quot;&gt;BBC Two&lt;/a&gt; following its 2001 cancellation.&lt;/p&gt;
  15810.  
  15811.  
  15812.  
  15813. &lt;p&gt;The BBC ended the show after viewing figures began to decline but revived it just a year later.&lt;/p&gt;
  15814.  
  15815.  
  15816.  
  15817. &lt;p&gt;The Cornish car enthusiast has been a regular Sunday Times columnist for the motorist section, and has also written for publications such as Top Gear Magazine, Used Car Buyer, Autotrader and AA Magazine.&lt;/p&gt;
  15818.  
  15819.  
  15820.  
  15821. &lt;p&gt;He has worked as a motivational speaker and has teamed up with brands like Dell, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ford/&quot;&gt;Ford&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/toyota/&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;, Harley Davidson and Herman Miller.&lt;/p&gt;
  15822.  
  15823.  
  15824.  
  15825. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Family life&lt;/h2&gt;
  15826.  
  15827.  
  15828.  
  15829. &lt;p&gt;In 2003, Dawe tied the knot with Ruth Davis, a former Wiltshire Times reporter from Trowbridge. &lt;/p&gt;
  15830.  
  15831.  
  15832.  
  15833. &lt;p&gt;According to the Wiltshire Gazette and Herald, Dawe arrived for their wedding in style. &lt;/p&gt;

  15870.  
  15871.  
  15872.  
  15873. &lt;p&gt;Top Gear, which originally aired from 1977 to 2001, was rebooted in 2002.&lt;/p&gt;
  15874.  
  15875.  
  15876.  
  15877. &lt;p&gt;The show&amp;#8217;s revival was hosted by Jason Dawe, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jeremy-clarkson/&quot;&gt;Jeremy Clarkson&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/richard-hammond/&quot;&gt;Richard Hammond&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15878.  
  15879.  
  15880.  
  15881. &lt;p&gt;Clarkson and Hammond would go on to work together on the series for many years, but Dawe only joined them for the one year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15882.  
  15883.  
  15884.  
  15885. &lt;p&gt;Fans of the show were left wondering why Dawe left.&lt;/p&gt;
  15886.  
  15887.  
  15888.  
  15889. &lt;p&gt;Top Gear producer Andy Wilman has said that Dawe&amp;#8217;s exit from the show was because it just &amp;#8220;wasn&amp;#8217;t working out&amp;#8221; with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  15890.  
  15891.  
  15892.  
  15893. &lt;p&gt;Dawe was replaced by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/james-may/&quot;&gt;James May&lt;/a&gt;, who would go on to present Top Gear with Hammond and Clarkson until 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
  15894.  
  15895.  
  15896.  
  15897. &lt;p&gt;Wilman, writing in Top Gear magazine, said of replacing Dawe: &amp;#8220;We had another visit from the BBC meddling department, who told us that market research showed our show was attracting young, lifestyle, trendy viewers to BBC Two, so perhaps we should think about getting a young, lifestyle, trendy presenter.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15898.  
  15899.  
  15900.  
  15901. &lt;p&gt;Per &lt;a aria-label=&quot;Lad Bible (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/tv/clarksons-farm-new-season-when-date-478012-20240201&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Lad Bible&lt;/a&gt;, he added: &amp;#8220;Ever keen to assist, we searched high and low and eventually came up with just the man: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/31704658/james-may-announces-new-tv-venture-travel-show-axed/&quot;&gt;James May&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15902.  
  15903.  
  15904.  
  15905. &lt;p&gt;He also said BBC bosses weren&amp;#8217;t sure about Hammond after his first series, admitting they &amp;#8220;had a wobble about Richard&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  16124. &lt;li&gt;Chelcee Grimes: The pair first began dating in August 2019, after Megan&amp;#8217;s initial break-up from Demi. After a brief break-up in October 2019, the pair rekindled their romance. But by April 2020, fans noticed they&amp;#8217;d unfollowed each other on social media.&lt;/li&gt;
  16125. &lt;li&gt;Wes Nelson: Megan and Wes left Love Island as a fully-fledged couple &amp;#8211; but it wasn&amp;#8217;t to be. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/8294985/megan-barton-hanson-wes-nelson-sex-dancing-on-ice/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun exclusively reported &lt;/a&gt;that Megan dumped Wes because their sex life fizzled out.&lt;/li&gt;
  16126. &lt;li&gt;Paul Chaplin: Paul dated Megan for 18 months prior to her Love Island stint. They split months before she appeared on the programme.&lt;/li&gt;
  16127. &lt;/ul&gt;
  16128. &lt;/div&gt;
  16129. &lt;/div&gt;
  16130. &lt;/div&gt;
  16132.  
  16133.  
  16134.  
  16135. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But with the family show having been renewed for a second season &amp;#8211; before the first has even aired &amp;#8211; Demi will be largely based in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/los-angeles/&quot;&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt; for the foreseeable&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;a0d5a35c-4c47-484b-b96c-7af7f984da6c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16136.

  16138.  
  16139. &lt;p&gt;In September, Megan &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/30209755/love-island-megan-barton-hanson-hinge-demi-sims-towie/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;revealed to her fans that she was looking for love.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16140.  
  16141.  
  16142.  
  16143. &lt;p&gt;The star shared how she had signed up to dating app Hinge.&lt;/p&gt;

  16222.  
  16223.  
  16224.  
  16225. &lt;p&gt;Even the man at the top end of a Premier League football club can be dazzled by shiny diamonds in football.&lt;/p&gt;
  16226.  
  16227.  
  16228.  
  16229. &lt;p&gt;But Sullivan pays for his team, he doesn’t pick it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16230.  
  16231.  
  16232.  
  16233. &lt;p&gt;He is not a manager so it’s understandable that he can be seduced by the tricks and the magic of Payet, who was fascinating viewing &amp;#8211; for good and bad reasons. Many of us were.&lt;/p&gt;
  16234.  
  16235.  
  16236.  
  16237. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lee-carsley/&quot;&gt;Lee Carsley&lt;/a&gt; is a coach and as England’s most recent manager is blessed with qualifications and know-how that should go beyond simply being entertained.&lt;/p&gt;
  16238.  
  16239.  
  16240.  
  16241. &lt;p&gt;Hopefully, Thomas Tuchel isn’t so blinkered when he picks up the England baton from January 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  16242.  
  16243.  
  16244.  
  16245. &lt;p&gt;Having pulled off what now looks a masterful deal for Bowen at just £22m, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-sullivan/&quot;&gt;Sullivan&lt;/a&gt; would not sell Bowen for any price now, whereas Carsley clearly values him as a two-bob player.&lt;/p&gt;
  16246.  
  16247.  
  16248.  
  16249. &lt;p&gt;Carsley referenced Bowen’s selection, or lack of it since September as a ‘debate’ in the build up to his last two matches in charge.&lt;/p&gt;
  16250.  
  16251.  
  16252.  
  16253. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31764280/lee-carsley-thomas-tuchel-advice-england/&quot;&gt;He recalled being approached time and time again in the street by frustrated Hammers fans&lt;/a&gt; who harangued him for overlooking their captain.&lt;/p&gt;

  16258.  
  16259.  
  16260.  
  16261. &lt;p&gt;The Cockneys never shy away from backing &amp;#8211; or barracking &amp;#8211; their players.&lt;/p&gt;
  16262.  
  16263.  
  16264.  
  16265. &lt;p&gt;When uppity Payet demanded to leave, nasty graffiti appeared within hours on the walls of East London and 24hr security was placed around his life-size image on the outside of London Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;

  16288.  
  16289. &lt;p&gt;A farmer’s son, Bowen pushes fully loaded wheelbarrows through mud during the summer to stay strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  16290.  
  16291.  
  16292.  
  16293. &lt;p&gt;He is low maintenance and that’s probably his biggest problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  16294.  
  16295.  
  16296.  
  16297. &lt;p&gt;Bowen turns up for England with no fuss &amp;#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31647568/england-nations-league-tuchel-carsley-saka-rice/&quot;&gt;unlike nine of his Premier League peers who cried off with injury from the latest squad&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16298.  
  16299.  
  16300.  
  16301. &lt;p&gt;Even when evidently not first choice, Bowen stepped in without a murmur. He then sat calmly on the bench until &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31771413/england-ireland-lee-carsley-bellingham-gordon/&quot;&gt;brought on against Ireland and scored a classy goal with his first touch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16302.  
  16303.  
  16304.  
  16305. &lt;p&gt;He has played as many domestic games as Cole Palmer. And in a struggling team has created 24 chances to Palmer’s 29.&lt;/p&gt;
  16306.  
  16307.  
  16308.  
  16309. &lt;p&gt;Bowen has a superior shot conversion rate to Noni Madueke, and three goals and two assists compared to the Chelsea man’s four and none. He operates on the right and the left. He is versatile &amp;#8211; what every manager wants and needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  16310.  
  16311.  
  16312.  
  16313. &lt;p&gt;His numbers stand up to scrutiny against one of those preferred for England in the three months of Carsley’s reign.&lt;/p&gt;
  16314.  
  16315.  
  16316.  
  16317. &lt;p&gt;He cost a fraction of the £100million Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish and you won’t find Bowen dropping less-than-cryptic criticism of a manager who might not fancy him.&lt;/p&gt;
  16318.  
  16319.  
  16320.  
  16321. &lt;p&gt;Where you will find him in most games is back in his own box, defending for his life before leading the charge upfield once the danger is cleared.&lt;/p&gt;
  16322.  
  16323.  
  16324.  
  16325. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31864116&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/2024/11/2015-file-photo-west-hams-297859281.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a soccer player with the number 27 on his jersey&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31864116&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;674&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Copyright 2017 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Dimitri Payet is David Sullivan&amp;#8217;s best West Ham signing &amp;#8211; Bowen must be second[/caption]
  16326.  
  16327.  
  16328.  
  16329. &lt;p&gt;Like an old-fashioned workhorse on his old man’s plot of land in Shropshire, Bowen grafts all day without a whimper.&lt;/p&gt;
  16330.  
  16331.  
  16332.  
  16333. &lt;p&gt;He defends yet has also touched the ball more times in the opposition box this season than Anthony Gordon of Newcastle.&lt;/p&gt;
  16334.  
  16335.  
  16336.  
  16337. &lt;p&gt;Sullivan, in conjunction with West Ham’s former manager David Moyes, plucked Bowen from Championship Hull in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  16338.  
  16339.  
  16340.  
  16341. &lt;p&gt;The deal was just £14m up front with £8m in add-ons: a million quid after five competitive England call ups, same again for 15 Premier League goals in a season.&lt;/p&gt;
  16342.  
  16343.  
  16344.  
  16345. &lt;p&gt;Sullivan oversaw the deal himself and will happily tell you that even though Bowen was new to the top flight he was no risk, because of his rock solid character.&lt;/p&gt;
  16346.  
  16347.  
  16348.  
  16349. &lt;p&gt;If you ask, he will also confess that while Payet was a truly great footballer, Bowen is a better asset for his club. It should be the same for his country too.&lt;/p&gt;
  16350.  
  16351.  
  16352.  
  16353. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;TOURI BEHAVIOUR&lt;/h2&gt;

  16358.  
  16359.  
  16360.  
  16361. &lt;p&gt;So much so that the new manager has openly urged his squad to do the same and drink in Manchester United’s vast history.&lt;/p&gt;
  16362.  
  16363.  
  16364.  
  16365. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;When the players come here, they should make the same tour. It is very important.”&lt;/p&gt;

  16369. &lt;p&gt;Yes, it is. However, there have been swingeing cost cutting measures of late, orchestrated by powerful minority owner &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-jim-ratcliffe/&quot;&gt;Sir Jim Ratcliffe&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16370.  
  16371.  
  16372.  
  16373. &lt;p&gt;Job cuts, cutbacks on travel perks, the list goes on.&lt;/p&gt;
  16374.  
  16375.  
  16376.  
  16377. &lt;p&gt;Makes you wonder whether those players that do actually take up Amorim’s suggestion of a guided tour will have to pay for it themselves? Awks.&lt;/p&gt;
  16378.  
  16379.  
  16380.  
  16381. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;GIVE &amp;#8216;EM A BREAK&amp;#8230;&lt;/h2&gt;
  16382.  
  16383.  
  16384.  
  16385. &lt;p&gt;THE Premier League returns on Saturday in the wake of England captain Harry Kane’s calls for it to resume a winter break for the overstretched players.&lt;/p&gt;
  16386.  
  16387.  
  16388.  
  16389. &lt;p&gt;With nine high-profile players withdrawing from the most recent squad with injuries and getting a fortnight off in mid-November, it kind of has.&lt;/p&gt;
  16390.  
  16391.  
  16392.  
  16393. &lt;p&gt;Let’s see if all those walking wounded who were too poorly to represent their country in the last two games, emerge from the tunnels this weekend looking bright-eyed and bushy tailed.&lt;/p&gt;
  16394.  
  16395.  
  16396.  
  16397. &lt;p&gt;Fingers crossed for them.&lt;/p&gt;
  16398.  
  16399.  
  16400.  
  16401. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31864161&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/2024/11/lee-carsley-final-game-interim-950721542.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;a man wearing a jacket that says england on it&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31864161&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;Rex&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Lee Carsley drinks soy lattes &amp;#8211; the game&amp;#8217;s officially gone[/caption]
  16402.  
  16403.  
  16404.  
  16405. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;BETTER LATTE THAN NEVER, TOM&lt;/h2&gt;
  16406.  
  16407.  
  16408.  
  16409. &lt;p&gt;TYPICALLY lots of fuss has been made of a German taking over the England team.&lt;/p&gt;
  16410.  
  16411.  
  16412.  
  16413. &lt;p&gt;But the sooner Thomas Tuchel arrives the better. For no other reason than outgoing caretaker boss Lee Carsley has admitted to drinking soy latte.&lt;/p&gt;
  16414.  
  16415.  
  16416.  
  16417. &lt;p&gt;The game’s gone.&lt;/p&gt;
  16418.  
  16419.  
  16420.  
  16421. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;GREEN LIGHT&lt;/h2&gt;
  16422.  
  16423.  
  16424.  
  16425. &lt;p&gt;WITH the UK in the grip of a cold snap, it hardly feels like the time to discuss climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  16426.  
  16427.  
  16428.  
  16429. &lt;p&gt;But there is one good news story from the world of sport that makes your heart warm while taking a tiny step in the right direction towards cooling the planet.&lt;/p&gt;
  16430.  
  16431.  
  16432.  
  16433. &lt;p&gt;F1 is hardly a bastion of environmental positivity with fossil fuel guzzling at the core of its being.&lt;/p&gt;
  16434.  
  16435.  
  16436.  
  16437. &lt;p&gt;But from 2026 the Canada Grand Prix is being brought forward from June to May in an effort to reduce emissions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16438.  
  16439.  
  16440.  
  16441. &lt;p&gt;Switching dates means the race will run straight after the Miami GP, cutting out the need to lump all the trailers, freight and other gubbins home to Europe then back again.&lt;/p&gt;
  16442.  
  16443.  
  16444.  
  16445. &lt;p&gt;Still a long way to go for F1 to go green and it won’t stop the flooding, heatwaves and tornadoes but it is something.&lt;/p&gt;
  16446.  
  16447.  
  16448.  
  16449. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;PAUL THE OTHER ONE&lt;/h2&gt;
  16450.  
  16451.  
  16452.  
  16453. &lt;p&gt;EVEN though &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31754912/jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-boo/&quot;&gt;Jake Paul’s farce of a fight&lt;/a&gt; has been universally derided by everyone except Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, it hasn’t stopped the world’s media from talking about it incessantly.&lt;/p&gt;
  16454.  
  16455.  
  16456.  
  16457. &lt;p&gt;So, job done for all those involved.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  16482.  
  16483.  
  16484.  
  16485.  
  16486.  
  16487. &lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: EVEN though I have an amazing marriage with a devoted and loving husband, I’m risking it all for a seedy affair with my male best friend.&lt;/p&gt;
  16488.  
  16489.  
  16490.  
  16491. &lt;p&gt;I know that it’s wrong, but I can’t seem to help myself. Whenever anything is going well in my life, I always find a way to self-sabotage it.&lt;/p&gt;
  16492.  
  16493.  
  16494.  
  16495. &lt;p&gt;I’m 36, my husband is 40, and we’ve been together for eight years. We have two daughters together. One is three, and the other is five.&lt;/p&gt;
  16496.  
  16497.  
  16498.  
  16499. &lt;p&gt;I have a great life with my husband, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t grown bored over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
  16500.  
  16501.  
  16502.  
  16503. &lt;p&gt;Every day blends into the next, and it’s fair to say the romance has died.&lt;/p&gt;
  16504.  
  16505.  
  16506.  
  16507. &lt;p&gt;Deep down, I’d always had a bit of a crush on my male best friend. We’d known each other since university, but one of us had always been in a relationship, so things between us stayed platonic.&lt;/p&gt;
  16508.  
  16509.  
  16510.  
  16511. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/js.php/dear_deidre_problem&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  16512.  
  16513.  
  16514.  
  16515. &lt;p&gt;That was until one night a few months ago, when we met up for dinner. We both started confiding in each other over a bottle of vino.&lt;/p&gt;
  16516.  
  16517.  
  16518.  
  16519. &lt;p&gt;He’d recently found out that his girlfriend was pregnant, and he was struggling to come to terms with the reality of being a father.&lt;/p&gt;
  16520.  
  16521.  
  16522.  
  16523. &lt;p&gt;One thing led to another, and in a moment of weakness, we drunkenly overstepped a boundary.&lt;/p&gt;
  16524.  
  16525.  
  16526.  
  16527. &lt;p&gt;Since then, we’ve not been able to stay away from each other. As soon as we allowed ourselves to admit to our feelings, the floodgates opened.&lt;/p&gt;
  16528.  
  16529.  
  16530.  
  16531. &lt;p&gt;Now we’re madly in love and want to be together.&lt;br&gt;The last thing I want is to implode my life, but he makes me feel so alive.&lt;/p&gt;

  16566.  
  16567.  
  16568.  
  16569. &lt;p&gt;While it’s natural to want to follow that exciting feeling, it’s likely that the reality of long term life with your lover wouldn’t measure up to the fantasy. &lt;/p&gt;
  16570.  
  16571.  
  16572.  
  16573. &lt;p&gt;You recognise your marriage is good, so don’t take that for granted. &lt;/p&gt;
  16574.  
  16575.  
  16576.  
  16577. &lt;p&gt;Instead of risking everything, if it’s excitement you need, talk to your husband about how to inject a little spontaneity back into your relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  16578.  
  16579.  
  16580.  
  16581. &lt;p&gt;What did you enjoy together before you had children, can you re-introduce those elements?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16582.  
  16583.  
  16584.  
  16585. &lt;p&gt;People who self-sabotage often don’t feel worthy of genuine love, if you think this may be at the root of your issue, then all the more reason to consider couples counselling. &lt;/p&gt;
  16586.  
  16587.  
  16588.  
  16589. &lt;p&gt;You can find support through Tavistock Relationships (&lt;a href=&quot;http://tavistockrelationships.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;tavistockrelationships.org&lt;/a&gt;, 020 7380 1975).&lt;/p&gt;

  16640.  
  16641.  
  16642.  
  16643.  
  16644.  
  16645. &lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE I made the decision to move out and live separately from my wife, I’ve never been happier.&lt;/p&gt;
  16646.  
  16647.  
  16648.  
  16649. &lt;p&gt;Now I finally live in a clean and peaceful space, but I fear it’ll be at the cost of our relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  16650.  
  16651.  
  16652.  
  16653. &lt;p&gt;I’m 47, my wife is 45, and we’ve been married for nine years. My wife has a daughter from a previous marriage. She’s 22 and still lives at home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16654.  
  16655.  
  16656.  
  16657. &lt;p&gt;Growing up, she was messy and had a bit of an attitude problem, but over the last few years, things have got out of hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  16658.  
  16659.  
  16660.  
  16661. &lt;p&gt;Now she’s a fully grown, unemployed adult that spends all her time sitting at home watching TV. &lt;/p&gt;
  16662.  
  16663.  
  16664.  
  16665. &lt;p&gt;Whether she’s leaving dirty dishes all over the house, smoking inside, or refusing to contribute in any way, she takes full advantage. &lt;/p&gt;
  16666.

  16673. &lt;p&gt;I’d spend hours cleaning up after her, and every time I’d come home and find the place completely trashed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16674.  
  16675.  
  16676.  
  16677. &lt;p&gt;No matter what I said, my wife constantly enabled her, and we’d often get into arguments that would end up with me sleeping in the spare room.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16678.  
  16679.  
  16680.  
  16681. &lt;p&gt;I tried for years to keep the peace, but eventually I decided I’d had enough and moved out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16682.  
  16683.  
  16684.  
  16685. &lt;p&gt;Since then, I’ve been so much happier. While I love my wife more than anything, it’s only now I’ve realised how badly living in that house was impacting my mental health.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16686.  
  16687.

  16848. &lt;p&gt;Arthur told our Royal Editor&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/matt-wilkinson/&quot;&gt;Matt Wilkinson&lt;/a&gt;: “I must say the pictures of him this week of Harry with those young kids.&lt;/p&gt;
  16849.  
  16850.  
  16851.  
  16852. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was laughing with those children and they all looked so incredibly happy.&lt;/p&gt;
  16853.  
  16854.  
  16855.  
  16856. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It gave me such a good feeling because that&amp;#8217;s how it used to be with Harry.&lt;/p&gt;
  16857.  
  16858.  
  16859.  
  16860. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve photographed him meeting young people across the world and that gave me such a buzz.&lt;/p&gt;
  16861.  
  16862.  
  16863.  
  16864. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Seeing him with those young people was such a great feeling again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16865.  
  16866.  
  16867.  
  16868. &lt;p&gt;Arthur recalled his last job with Prince Harry before he left the royal family and spoke about how happy children were to see him.&lt;/p&gt;
  16869.  
  16870.  
  16871.  
  16872. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;It was at a school in Luton and the students were so happy and he was so happy to be involved with them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  16897.  
  16898.  
  16899.  
  16900. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was just that one frame where I thought that&amp;#8217;s how he used to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  16901.  
  16902.  
  16903.  
  16904. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When he was with young people or a child he&amp;#8217;d become a child himself.&lt;/p&gt;
  16905.  
  16906.  
  16907.  
  16908. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remember when he was with a sick child, he wouldn&amp;#8217;t leave their side until they smiled.&lt;/p&gt;
  16909.  
  16910.  
  16911.  
  16912. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He would pull faces or do anything. He was amazing for that and that&amp;#8217;s the thing I miss about Harry.&lt;/p&gt;
  16913.  
  16914.  
  16915.  
  16916. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Anything with children or young people involved even if it was a walkabout in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sydney/&quot;&gt;Sydney&lt;/a&gt; or youth club in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-zealand/&quot;&gt;New Zealand&lt;/a&gt;, he would interact in such a way you knew you were going to get a great picture.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16917.  
  16918.  
  16919.  
  16920. &lt;p&gt;It comes after the Duke has undertook several speaking engagements at awards ceremonies and taking part in charitable panels and summits on his own.&lt;/p&gt;
  16921.  
  16922.  
  16923.  
  16924. &lt;p&gt;Some commentators see this as the prince doing a &amp;#8220;full relaunch&amp;#8221; of his&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/charity/&quot;&gt;charity&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;work – and lately his wife Meghan is nowhere to be seen in public with him.&lt;/p&gt;

  16968. &lt;p&gt;PRINCE Harry&amp;#8217;s Invictus Games will be held in Birmingham &amp;#8211; meaning the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will return to the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  16969. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/birmingham/&quot;&gt;West Midlands city&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;will be unveiled today at a ceremony and flag-raising.&lt;/p&gt;
  16970. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-harry/&quot;&gt;Harry&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;is not attending the ceremony but he and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/meghan-markle/&quot;&gt;Meg&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;are now set to return for the games, which will take place in 2027.&lt;/p&gt;
  16971. &lt;p&gt;Meghan, 42, has joined Harry, 39, at every&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/invictus-games/&quot;&gt;Invictus Games&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;while they have been together after first appearing at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4561133/invictus-games-2017-tv-channel-live-stream-time-highlights/&quot;&gt;2017 Toronto games&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16972. &lt;p&gt;She has avoided the UK since the&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/the-queen/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;late Queen Elizabeth II&amp;#8217;s funeral&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 2022 apart from spending just a few hours at Heathrow while changing flights ahead of the couple&amp;#8217;s&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/27932918/prince-harry-nigeria-tour-people-magazine/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8216;pseudo-Royal&amp;#8217; tour of Nigeria&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;in May.&lt;/p&gt;
  16973. &lt;p&gt;The last time Harry held his games for wounded soldiers in the UK in 2014, the London games were attended by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-william/&quot;&gt;William&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/camilla-parker-bowles/&quot;&gt;Camilla&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot;&gt;Charles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16974. &lt;p&gt;It comes as Invictus CEO Dominic Reid&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/29330718/prince-harry-charity-chief-quits-blasted-award/#:~:text=%22Thank%20you%2C%20Dominic%2C%20for,%2C%20we%20will%20be%20ready.%22&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;stepped down from his role&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;and the Invictus Games are being held in Whistler and Vancouver, Canada, this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  16975. &lt;p&gt;Prince Harry said: &amp;#8220;Congratulations to Birmingham, UK, on winning the bid to host the Invictus Games 2027.&lt;/p&gt;
  16976. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Your city’s strong ties to the&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/army/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Armed Forces&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;community made it a formidable contender from the very start.&lt;/p&gt;
  16977. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Over the years, we’ve seen each city bring a unique spirit and vision to life for competitors, their families, and spectators.&lt;/p&gt;
  16978. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We have no doubt the people of Birmingham will join in celebrating the unwavering respect and admiration we have for our veteran and service community, showing the world how their courage ignites hope and unites us all- something your city knows well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16979. &lt;/div&gt;

  17040. &lt;p&gt;MATT Gaetz has removed his name from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump&amp;#8217;s attorney general nominee.&lt;/p&gt;
  17041.  
  17042.  
  17043.  
  17044. &lt;p&gt;The move comes as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31750784/matt-gaetz-children-attorney-general-nominee-donald-trump/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gaetz&lt;/a&gt; is at the center of a federal sex-trafficking investigation by the House Ethics Committee on Capitol Hill.&lt;/p&gt;

  17057.  
  17058.  
  17059.  
  17060. &lt;p&gt;Members of the House Ethics Committee have a bombshell chart compiled by the Justice Department and published by &lt;a aria-label=&quot;The New York Times (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/us/politics/matt-gaetz-venmo-payments-sex.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The New York Times&lt;/a&gt; that allegedly details a web of payments Gaetz and his associates made to women involved in his drug-fueled sex parties from 2017 to 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  17061.  
  17062.  
  17063.  
  17064. &lt;p&gt;Hours after the new information emerged, &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/who/matt-gaetz/&quot;&gt;Gaetz&lt;/a&gt;, 42, said his confirmation had &amp;#8220;become a distraction&amp;#8221; to the incoming &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/who/donald-trump/&quot;&gt;Trump&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/who/jd-vance/&quot;&gt;JD Vance&lt;/a&gt; administration and he bowed out of his bid for attorney general.&lt;/p&gt;
  17065.  
  17066.  
  17067.  
  17068. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback &amp;#8211; and the incredible support of so many,&amp;#8221; the former &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/where/florida/&quot;&gt;Florida&lt;/a&gt; representative wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  17069.  
  17070.  
  17071.  
  17072. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.&lt;/p&gt;
  17073.  
  17074.  
  17075.  
  17076. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I&amp;#8217;ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General.&lt;/p&gt;
  17077.  
  17078.  
  17079.  
  17080. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Trump&amp;#8217;s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17081.  
  17082.  
  17083.  
  17084. &lt;p&gt;Gaetz, who Trump nominated as his attorney general on November 13, added, &amp;#8220;I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history.&lt;/p&gt;
  17085.  
  17086.  
  17087.  
  17088. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I&amp;#8217;m certain he will Save America.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17089.  
  17090.  
  17091.  
  17092. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;TRUMP SPEAKS OUT&lt;/h2&gt;
  17093.  
  17094.  
  17095.  
  17096. &lt;p&gt;President-elect Trump was quick to show Gaetz his support after he dropped out of consideration. &lt;/p&gt;
  17097.  
  17098.  
  17099.  
  17100. &lt;p&gt;In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, &amp;#8220;I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General.&lt;/p&gt;

  17148. &lt;p&gt;DeSantis must appoint a replacement for Senator &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/who/marco-rubio/&quot;&gt;Marco Rubio&lt;/a&gt;, who was tapped as Trump&amp;#8217;s secretary of state, should the &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-sun.com/topic/us-senate/&quot;&gt;Senate&lt;/a&gt; confirm him.&lt;/p&gt;
  17149.  
  17150.  
  17151.  
  17152. &lt;p&gt;Under the US Constitution and Florida state law, the governor has the power to fill vacancies in the US Senate while voters decide who fills empty seats in the US House.&lt;/p&gt;

  17161.  
  17162.  
  17163.  
  17164. &lt;p&gt;On Monday, DeSantis said he was gathering names and conducting &amp;#8220;preliminary vetting&amp;#8221; after receiving &amp;#8220;strong interest&amp;#8221; from several potential picks.&lt;/p&gt;
  17165.  
  17166.  
  17167.  
  17168. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Florida deserves a Senator who will help President Trump deliver on his election mandate, be strong on immigration and border security, take on the entrenched bureaucracy and administrative state, reverse the nation&amp;#8217;s fiscal decline, be animated by conservative principles, and has a proven record of results,&amp;#8221; DeSantis said.&lt;/p&gt;
  17169.  
  17170.  
  17171.  
  17172. &lt;p&gt;The list of names Republicans are pitching to DeSantis includes Trump&amp;#8217;s daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lara-trump/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lara Trump&lt;/a&gt;, Florida’s Attorney General Ashley Moody, former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, and Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez.&lt;/p&gt;
  17173.  
  17174.  
  17175.  
  17176. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;SEX-TRAFFICKING PROBE&lt;/h2&gt;
  17177.  
  17178.  
  17179.  
  17180. &lt;p&gt;Gaetz has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since the spring of 2021 over allegations that he engaged in sexual misconduct, drug use, misuse of state identification records, and converted campaign funds for personal use, among other accusations.&lt;/p&gt;
  17181.  
  17182.  
  17183.  
  17184. &lt;p&gt;However, the committee paused its investigation after learning the Justice Department was also probing Gaetz over allegations that he was involved in sex trafficking and had sex with a minor.&lt;/p&gt;
  17185.  
  17186.  
  17187.  
  17188. &lt;p&gt;In February, the Justice Department decided not to bring charges against Gaetz following a years-long investigation, citing an inability to make a strong enough case in court.&lt;/p&gt;
  17189.  
  17190.  
  17191.  
  17192. &lt;p&gt;Once the DOJ&amp;#8217;s probe ended, the House Ethics Committee resumed its own investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  17193.  
  17194.  
  17195.  
  17196. &lt;p&gt;The House panel interviewed more than a dozen witnesses and a lawyer for two women testifying before the committee.&lt;/p&gt;
  17197.  
  17198.  
  17199.  
  17200. &lt;p&gt;Attorney Joel Leppard testified that Gaetz paid two of his clients in exchange for sex.&lt;/p&gt;
  17201.  
  17202.  
  17203.  
  17204. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  17205. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  17206. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Matt Gaetz&amp;#039;s full statement&lt;/h3&gt;
  17207. &lt;/div&gt;
  17208. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  17211. &lt;div&gt;
  17212. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback &amp;#8211; and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I&amp;#8217;ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump&amp;#8217;s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.&lt;/p&gt;
  17213. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I&amp;#8217;m certain he will Save America.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17214. &lt;/div&gt;
  17215. &lt;/div&gt;
  17216. &lt;/div&gt;
  17218.  
  17219.  
  17220.  
  17221. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;CLAIMS &amp;#8216;NOT CREDIBLE&amp;#8217;&lt;/h2&gt;
  17222.  
  17223.  
  17224.  
  17225. &lt;p&gt;One of the women claims she witnessed Gaetz and another of his associates having sex with a 17-year-old girl.&lt;/p&gt;
  17226.  
  17227.  
  17228.  
  17229. &lt;p&gt;But, the woman said she did not believe Gaetz thought the girl was under 18.&lt;/p&gt;
  17230.  
  17231.  
  17232.  
  17233. &lt;p&gt;The DOJ payments chart obtained by the House Ethics Committee showed that one of Leppard&amp;#8217;s clients received over $4,000, and the other received $3,500 in payments from Gaetz via Venmo.&lt;/p&gt;
  17234.  
  17235.  
  17236.  
  17237. &lt;p&gt;The women also received money from Gaetz on PayPal, the attorney testified.&lt;/p&gt;
  17238.  
  17239.  
  17240.  
  17241. &lt;p&gt;Joel Greenberg, a former friend of Gaetz, cooperated with the Justice Department during its federal investigation, telling authorities about how he and Gaetz had sex with the 17-year-old female.&lt;/p&gt;
  17242.  
  17243.  
  17244.  
  17245. &lt;p&gt;He told federal investigators he and Gaetz believed the woman was over 18.&lt;/p&gt;
  17246.  
  17247.  
  17248.  
  17249. &lt;p&gt;Greenberg pleaded guilty to sex-trafficking charges in 2021 and was sentenced to 11 years in prison.&lt;/p&gt;
  17250.  
  17251.  
  17252.  
  17253. &lt;p&gt;The woman, who was 17 at the time, testified to the House Ethics Committee that she had two sexual encounters with Gaetz at a part in 2017. &lt;/p&gt;
  17254.  
  17255.  
  17256.  
  17257. &lt;p&gt;She also testified about a second sexual encounter with Gaetz and another woman, which was not previously reported, according to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/politics/matt-gaetz-second-sexual-encounter-minor/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17258.  
  17259.  
  17260.  
  17261. &lt;p&gt;The other adult woman, who was allegedly involved in the sexual encounter, denied participation in the supposed act with Gaetz and the minor, the outlet reported.&lt;/p&gt;
  17262.  
  17263.  
  17264.  
  17265. &lt;p&gt;Gaetz has denied all the accusations against him, including that he had sex with a minor.&lt;/p&gt;
  17266.  
  17267.  
  17268.  
  17269. &lt;p&gt;He blasted the claims as &amp;#8220;years-old allegations of a sexual / salacious nature from sources DOJ previously deemed not credible assembled by people with a political motive.&lt;/p&gt;
  17270.  
  17271.  
  17272.  
  17273. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Steele Dossier really was shameful,&amp;#8221; he added in a post on X.&lt;/p&gt;
  17274.  
  17275.  
  17276.  
  17277. &lt;p&gt;Gaetz has not been formally charged with any crime related to the House Ethics Committee&amp;#8217;s investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  17278.  
  17279.

  17290. In the days following his dominant Election Day victory, President-elect Donald Trump has begun carving out his future administation. &lt;/p&gt;

  17355. &lt;p&gt;A DOCTOR is facing jail after suffocating her terminally-ill dad with a pillow in an &amp;#8216;act of mercy&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17356.  
  17357.  
  17358.  
  17359. &lt;p&gt;Dr Lisa Davenport admitted manslaughter charges at Oxford Crown &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;Court &lt;/a&gt;today for killing her 88-year-old father Barrie Davenport.&lt;/p&gt;
  17360.

  17364.  
  17365.  
  17366.  
  17367. &lt;p&gt;The guilty plea, which was based on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;manslaughter &lt;/a&gt;by reason of diminished responsibility, was accepted by the prosecution.&lt;/p&gt;
  17368.  
  17369.  
  17370.  
  17371. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutor John Price told High Court Judge Mr Justice Linden Barrie was &amp;#8220;in the advanced stages of terminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/30377281/diy-test-predicts-you-risk-pancreatic-cancer-deadly/&quot;&gt;pancreatic cancer&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; when he was killed in October 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  17372.  
  17373.  
  17374.  
  17375. &lt;p&gt;The court heard the OAP was bed-bound, largely unconscious and expected to pass away shortly.&lt;/p&gt;
  17376.  
  17377.  
  17378.  
  17379. &lt;p&gt;Lisa admitted smothering him to death with a pillow to a care home resident where her father had been staying, and a manager. &lt;/p&gt;
  17380.  
  17381.  
  17382.  
  17383. &lt;p&gt;Mr Price said: &amp;#8220;The foundation of the prosecution case was the defendant&amp;#8217;s own confession to others about what she had done.&lt;/p&gt;
  17384.  
  17385.  
  17386.  
  17387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The evidence established that from that date until the date he died, he could not have had a more devoted carer or better familial care than was provided to him by this defendant.&lt;/p&gt;
  17388.  
  17389.  
  17390.  
  17391. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was in that context that she took his life.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17392.  
  17393.  
  17394.  
  17395. &lt;p&gt;The court heard Lisa&amp;#8217;s motive was to put an end to his suffering in palliative care.&lt;/p&gt;
  17396.  
  17397.  
  17398.  
  17399. &lt;p&gt;Mr Justice Linden heard how three consultant psychiatrists examined Lisa after her father&amp;#8217;s death. &lt;/p&gt;
  17400.  
  17401.  
  17402.  
  17403. &lt;p&gt;Mr Price said: &amp;#8220;Their opinions are unanimous in finding at the time of the killing, Dr Davenport was suffering abnormality of mind attributed in her case to more than one recognised medical condition.&lt;/p&gt;
  17404.  
  17405.  
  17406.  
  17407. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There was a clear history of clinical signs and symptoms of the conditions diagnosed by doctors when they assessed her in October and November this year.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17408.  
  17409.  
  17410.  
  17411. &lt;p&gt;He added there is a &amp;#8220;long established pre-existing history.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17412.  
  17413.  
  17414.  
  17415. &lt;p&gt;Mr Price concluded: &amp;#8220;She was, at that time, unable to acknowledge what she had done. It was in that context the reports were prepared.&lt;/p&gt;
  17416.  
  17417.  
  17418.  
  17419. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The psychiatrists were each of the opinion that it had substantially impaired her ability to act rationally and to exercise self-control and it provided an explanation for what she had done.&lt;/p&gt;
  17420.  
  17421.  
  17422.  
  17423. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Those opinions by the doctors seemed to the professionals, to be of compelling weight.&lt;/p&gt;
  17424.  
  17425.  
  17426.  
  17427. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The prosecution formed the view that if this case went to trial the burden placed upon the defendant to establish this defence to the civil standard, was likely to be achieved.&lt;/p&gt;
  17428.  
  17429.  
  17430.  
  17431. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If there were a plea of guilty to manslaughter on this basis, the proper course would be to accept it for the reasons I have outlined.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17432.  
  17433.  
  17434.  
  17435. &lt;p&gt;Defence barrister Mary Prior told the court Lisa&amp;#8217;s sister and brother have &amp;#8220;supported&amp;#8221; her since the case started.&lt;/p&gt;
  17436.  
  17437.  
  17438.  
  17439. &lt;p&gt;She told the judge: &amp;#8220;You will understand this was, as the Crown fairly pointed out, a loving, devoted daughter who was the primary carer for her father who had been unwell for many years but terminally ill more recently.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17440.  
  17441.  
  17442.  
  17443. &lt;p&gt;Lisa was shouldering &amp;#8220;the burden of responsibility&amp;#8221; because Barrie had refused to move into a hospice, the court was told.&lt;/p&gt;
  17444.  
  17445.  
  17446.  
  17447. &lt;p&gt;Ms Prior added: &amp;#8220;Regrettably the conditions she has suffered from for many years were not properly treated or diagnosed at the time this was going on.&lt;/p&gt;
  17448.  
  17449.  
  17450.  
  17451. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We will characterise this at sentencing hearing as a matter of mercy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17452.  
  17453.  
  17454.  
  17455. &lt;p&gt;Lisa, of Washle Drive, Middleton Cheney, Banbury, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/oxfordshire/&quot;&gt;Oxford&lt;/a&gt;., is due to be sentenced on February 7, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
  17456.  
  17457.  
  17458.  
  17459. &lt;p&gt;She was released on conditional bail.&lt;/p&gt;
  17460.

  17494.  
  17495. &lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband lied about watching hardcore porn and now it’s ruining our sex life. &lt;/p&gt;
  17496.  
  17497.  
  17498.  
  17499. &lt;p&gt;Whenever we try to be intimate, I see the images he viewed in my head, and it makes me feel sick.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17500.  
  17501.  
  17502.  
  17503. &lt;p&gt;I’m 52 and he’s 54. We’ve been married for 25 years and have two grown-up children.&lt;/p&gt;
  17504.  
  17505.  
  17506.  
  17507. &lt;p&gt;He always denied he liked watching porn, even accusing me of paranoia, but I never believed him.&lt;/p&gt;
  17508.  
  17509.  
  17510.  
  17511. &lt;p&gt;Then I changed the settings on our laptop, and managed to view his history.&lt;/p&gt;
  17512.  
  17513.  
  17514.  
  17515. &lt;p&gt;He’d been watching awful, perverted films, which involve hurting people, every day for years. I was horrified, and felt betrayed.&lt;/p&gt;
  17516.  
  17517.  
  17518.  
  17519. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/js.php/dear_deidre_problem&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  17520.  
  17521.  
  17522.  
  17523. &lt;p&gt;When I confronted him with my evidence, he begged for forgiveness. He said he couldn’t help himself and hid his problem because he felt so ashamed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17524.  
  17525.  
  17526.  
  17527. &lt;p&gt;He’s promised he’s stopped, and I think I believe him. I know he does love me.&lt;/p&gt;
  17528.  
  17529.  
  17530.  
  17531. &lt;p&gt;We’re trying to rebuild our marriage, but I can’t forget what I saw.&lt;/p&gt;
  17532.  
  17533.  
  17534.  
  17535. &lt;p&gt;Every time we start having sex, I remember what he liked watching &amp;#8211; and what he would really like to do &amp;#8211; and I have to stop.&lt;/p&gt;
  17536.  
  17537.  
  17538.  
  17539. &lt;p&gt;Please help.&lt;/p&gt;

  17574.  
  17575.  
  17576.  
  17577. &lt;p&gt;Your husband may need help to quit his porn habit. Encourage him to look at the Pivotal Recovery Programme  (&lt;a href=&quot;http://pivotalrecovery.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;pivotalrecovery.org&lt;/a&gt;), a recovery programme. &lt;/p&gt;

  17582.  
  17583.  
  17584.  
  17585. &lt;p&gt;It will take time to rebuild trust. If intimacy continues to be a problem, sex and relationship counselling could help. COSRT (&lt;a href=&quot;http://cosrt.org.uk&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cosrt.org.uk&lt;/a&gt;) can help connect you to a reputable therapist.&lt;/p&gt;

  17633. &lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER years of dealing with constant bullying from my aggressive partner, I’m at my wits end. &lt;/p&gt;
  17634.  
  17635.  
  17636.  
  17637. &lt;p&gt;No matter what, in her eyes I can never do anything right, and I’ve had enough.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17638.  
  17639.  
  17640.  
  17641. &lt;p&gt;I’m 65, she’s 60, and we’ve been together for fifteen years.&lt;/p&gt;
  17642.  
  17643.  
  17644.  
  17645. &lt;p&gt;At first, our relationship was full of love. We’d found solace in each other after the end of both of our marriages.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17646.  
  17647.  
  17648.  
  17649. &lt;p&gt;However, over the years she’s grown cold, and as her mental health has deteriorated, so has our relationship.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17650.  
  17651.  
  17652.  
  17653. &lt;p&gt;Now she spends every day picking at me, and almost every conversation we have ends up in a screaming match.&lt;/p&gt;
  17654.  
  17655.  
  17656.  
  17657. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/js.php/dear_deidre_problem&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  17658.  
  17659.  
  17660.  
  17661. &lt;p&gt;All I ever do is try to please her, but it’s almost as if she finds joy in berating me and leaving me frightened. Just last week, she said if I didn’t listen to her, she would get her brother to &amp;#8216;sort me out’.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17662.  
  17663.  
  17664.  
  17665. &lt;p&gt;To make matters worse, she’s also changed all of the bills into her name, so I have no control over any of our finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  17666.  
  17667.  
  17668.  
  17669. &lt;p&gt;I feel so stuck in this relationship, but I fear there’s no escape.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17670.  
  17671.  
  17672.  
  17673. &lt;p&gt;Please help.&lt;/p&gt;

  17785.

  17797.  
  17798.  
  17799.  
  17800. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson revealed she was questioned by officers over a year-old deleted tweet.&lt;/p&gt;
  17801.  
  17802.  
  17803.  
  17804. &lt;p&gt;Pearson said &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; refused to give details about the post or the complaint against her, leading her to believe it was being treated as a non-crime hate incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  17805.  
  17806.  
  17807.  
  17808. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;8320d507-f607-4d94-bbec-fab69180f483&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Essex&lt;/span&gt; Police insisted this was “wholly inaccurate” and claimed body-worn video “entirely supports our position” that it was a criminal &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  17809.  
  17810.  
  17811.  
  17812. &lt;p&gt;But the force has now dropped the case amid growing backlash, as it emerged that even children as young as nine and working professionals have been investigated for so-called non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs).&lt;/p&gt;
  17813.  
  17814.  
  17815.  
  17816. &lt;p&gt;Free Speech Union chief Toby Young told Never Mind The Ballots: &amp;#8220;If there&amp;#8217;s a risk that the police are going to show up at your door if you have a brain fart and say something stupid on social media, that&amp;#8217;s going to have an extraordinarily chilling effect on free speech.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  17817.  
  17818.  
  17819.  
  17820. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And it&amp;#8217;s also going to tie up the police (who will be) wasting time investigating these petty incidents.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17821.  
  17822.  
  17823.  
  17824. &lt;p&gt;He revealed that over 250,000 non-crime hate incidents have been recorded since 2014, an average of 65 a day.&lt;/p&gt;
  17825.  
  17826.  
  17827.  
  17828. &lt;p&gt;While political commentator Matthew Stadlen argued free speech has limits, he also insisted the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; around non-crime hate incidents may need &amp;#8220;tidying up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17829.  
  17830.  
  17831.  
  17832. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;They shouldn&amp;#8217;t be policing something that is distasteful if that doesn&amp;#8217;t meet the bar of inciting, for example, religious hatred or racial hatred or indeed inciting violence.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17833.  
  17834.  
  17835.  
  17836. &lt;p&gt;Chris&amp;nbsp;Philp&amp;nbsp;used a speech at a major policing conference on Wednesday to call for guidelines around the incidents to be rewritten.&lt;/p&gt;
  17837.  
  17838.  
  17839.  
  17840. &lt;p&gt;The chairman of the National Police Chiefs’ Council Gavin Stephens told delegates on Tuesday the incidents must be investigated so that “precursors to violence” are not missed.&lt;/p&gt;
  17841.  
  17842.  
  17843.  
  17844. &lt;p&gt;But speaking in Westminster, Mr Philp&amp;nbsp;called on police forces to use “common sense”, arguing that changes would help “rebuild confidence” in policing and free up time to spend on fighting &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17845.  
  17846.  
  17847.  
  17848. &lt;p&gt;He said commitments made by police last year to “always follow all reasonable lines of inquiry must be delivered in practice”, adding: “If we can get those detection rates rising, confidence and trust in policing will invariably rise with them. That is what the public expects.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17849.  
  17850.  
  17851.  
  17852. &lt;p&gt;Home Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/yvette-cooper/&quot;&gt;Yvette Cooper&lt;/a&gt; had previously promised to expand the system of recording non-crime hate incidents.&lt;/p&gt;
  17853.  
  17854.  
  17855.  
  17856. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/home-office/&quot;&gt;Home Office&lt;/a&gt; is currently reviewing whether the current process &amp;#8220;&lt;span id=&quot;09decbc8-8cd0-4075-b31c-1e4ba8c33bb5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;strikes&lt;/span&gt; the right balance&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  17883.

  17885.  
  17886. &lt;p&gt;COPS have dropped their investigation into Allison Pearson over a social media post.&lt;/p&gt;
  17887.  
  17888.  
  17889.  
  17890. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/essex/&quot;&gt;Essex &lt;/a&gt;Police stopped their case looking into the Telegraph journalist, after she was accused of stirring up racial hatred.&lt;/p&gt;
  17891.  
  17892.  
  17893.  
  17894. &lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31700118/free-speech-row-journalist-social-media-post/&quot;&gt; force launched a probe &lt;/a&gt;after the writer shared a social media post in November last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  17895.  
  17896.  
  17897.  
  17898. &lt;p&gt;They appeared at her door on Remembrance Sunday to question her about a non-crime hate incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  17899.  
  17900.  
  17901.  
  17902. &lt;p&gt;But officers refused to tell Alison which post on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;, formerly Twitter, was being investigated and who made the complaint.&lt;/p&gt;
  17903.  
  17904.  
  17905.  
  17906. &lt;p&gt;She stood accused of “stirring up racial hatred” in a now-deleted post.&lt;/p&gt;
  17907.  
  17908.  
  17909.  
  17910. &lt;p&gt;The force claims this is “wholly inaccurate” and said there was bodycam footage of the conversation. &lt;/p&gt;
  17911.  
  17912.  
  17913.  
  17914. &lt;p&gt;Essex &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police &lt;/a&gt;has now dropped its investigation into what Boris Johnson called an “appalling” attack on free speech.&lt;/p&gt;
  17915.  
  17916.  
  17917.  
  17918. &lt;p&gt;And former PM said police who had their hands full were “being forced to behave like a woke Securitate”.&lt;/p&gt;
  17919.  
  17920.  
  17921.  
  17922. &lt;p&gt;The incident sparked fury among opposition politicians, with Shadow Home Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/chris-philp/&quot;&gt;Chris Philp&lt;/a&gt; railing: “The police should not be wasting time targeting journalists or the public for expressing opinions.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17923.  
  17924.  
  17925.  
  17926. &lt;p&gt;Reform UK’s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nigel-farage/&quot;&gt;Nigel Farage&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;added: “This is Orwellian in the extreme. I’m appalled.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17927.  
  17928.  
  17929.  
  17930. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, billionaire X boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/elon-musk/&quot;&gt;Elon Musk&lt;/a&gt; said on X: “This needs to stop.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17931.

  17941. &lt;div&gt;
  17942. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/martina-betteto/&quot;&gt;By Martina Bet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17943. &lt;p&gt;COPS must stop wasting time chasing “petty incidents” while real crimes go unsolved, free speech campaigners have urged.&lt;/p&gt;
  17944. &lt;p&gt;They are demanding an overhaul of laws they say are stifling free speech and tying up overstretched forces.&lt;/p&gt;
  17945. &lt;p&gt;It came after Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson revealed she was questioned by officers over a year-old deleted tweet.&lt;/p&gt;
  17946. &lt;p&gt;Pearson said&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;refused to give details about the post or the complaint against her, leading her to believe it was being treated as a non-crime hate incident.&lt;/p&gt;
  17947. &lt;p&gt;Essex&amp;nbsp;Police insisted this was “wholly inaccurate” and claimed body-worn video “entirely supports our position” that it was a criminal&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17948. &lt;p&gt;But the force has now dropped the case amid growing backlash, as it emerged that even children as young as nine and working professionals have been investigated for so-called non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs).&lt;/p&gt;
  17949. &lt;p&gt;Free Speech Union chief Toby Young told Never Mind The Ballots: &amp;#8220;If there&amp;#8217;s a risk that the police are going to show up at your door if you have a brain fart and say something stupid on social media, that&amp;#8217;s going to have an extraordinarily chilling effect on free speech.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  17953. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;They shouldn&amp;#8217;t be policing something that is distasteful if that doesn&amp;#8217;t meet the bar of inciting, for example, religious hatred or racial hatred or indeed inciting violence.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17954. &lt;p&gt;Chris&amp;nbsp;Philp&amp;nbsp;used a speech at a major policing conference on Wednesday to call for guidelines around the incidents to be rewritten.&lt;/p&gt;
  17955. &lt;p&gt;The chairman of the National Police Chiefs’ Council Gavin Stephens told delegates on Tuesday the incidents must be investigated so that “precursors to violence” are not missed.&lt;/p&gt;
  17956. &lt;p&gt;But speaking in Westminster, Mr Philp&amp;nbsp;called on police forces to use “common sense”, arguing that changes would help “rebuild confidence” in policing and free up time to spend on fighting&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17957. &lt;p&gt;He said commitments made by police last year to “always follow all reasonable lines of inquiry must be delivered in practice”, adding: “If we can get those detection rates rising, confidence and trust in policing will invariably rise with them. That is what the public expects.”&lt;/p&gt;
  17958. &lt;p&gt;Home Secretary&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/yvette-cooper/&quot;&gt;Yvette Cooper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;had previously promised to expand the system of recording non-crime hate incidents.&lt;/p&gt;
  17959. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/home-office/&quot;&gt;Home Office&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is currently reviewing whether the current process &amp;#8220;strikes&amp;nbsp;the right balance&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18021. &lt;p&gt;LYLE Menendez has reportedly been cheating on his second wife with a 21-year-old British student &amp;#8211; years after another affair broke up his first marriage.&lt;/p&gt;
  18022.  
  18023.  
  18024.  
  18025. &lt;p&gt;The convicted murderer, 56, is said to have started a relationship with Milly Bucksey, 21, at the beginning of this year despite being married to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30691497/menendez-brothers-lyle-erik-wives-tammi-rebecca-netflix/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rebecca Sneed&lt;/a&gt; since 2003.&lt;/p&gt;

  18042.  
  18043.  
  18044.  
  18045. &lt;p&gt;The forbidden lovers first met when Lyle noticed Bucksey, a student at the University of Manchester, in a Facebook group run by his wife in support of Lyle and his brother Erik.&lt;/p&gt;
  18046.  
  18047.  
  18048.

  18050.  
  18051.  
  18052.  
  18053. &lt;p&gt;Lyle continued to communicate with Bucksey from his cell at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California, with a contraband cell phone, according to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14106001/Lyle-Menendez-romance-British-university-student-Milly-Bucksey.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Daily Mail (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18055.

  18058.  
  18059.  
  18060.  
  18061. &lt;p&gt;Lyle got a second illicit phone after he was caught with the first one, which is how he reportedly keeps up with Bucksey now.&lt;/p&gt;

  18109. &lt;p&gt;Gascón announced last month he recommended Lyle and Erik be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31302279/menendez-brothers-erik-lyle-resentencing-district-attorney-george-gascon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;resentenced&lt;/a&gt; for the shotgun murders of their parents, saying the brothers &amp;#8220;paid their debt to society.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18110.  
  18111.  
  18112.  
  18113. &lt;p&gt;The decision came after interest in the case was renewed due to Ryan Murphy&amp;#8217;s Netflix drama &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31311160/monsters-bonus-episodes-ryan-murphy-netflix-menendez-cooper-koch/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18126. Erik and Lyle Menendez have been serving a life imprisonment sentence without the possibility of parole since July 1996. &lt;/p&gt;
  18128. &lt;div&gt;
  18129. &lt;p&gt;The brothers were convicted of shooting their parents to death in their Beverly Hills home in August 1989.&lt;/p&gt;
  18130. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Timeline:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18131. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;August 20, 1989&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; José and Kitty Menendez are found dead from multiple shotgun wounds.&lt;/p&gt;
  18132. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 8, 1990&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Lyle is arrested outside his parents&amp;#8217; Beverly Hills mansion.&lt;/p&gt;
  18133. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 11, 1990&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Erik turns himself in to police after flying back into Los Angeles from Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
  18134. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;July 20, 1993&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The highly publicized trial of Lyle and Erik begins and ends weeks later in a mistrial.&lt;/p&gt;
  18135. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 11, 1995&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Lyle and Erik&amp;#8217;s second trial begins.&lt;/p&gt;
  18136. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 20, 1996&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The Menendez brothers are convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.&lt;/p&gt;
  18137. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;July 2, 1996 &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; Lyle and Erik are sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole and sent to separate prisons.&lt;/p&gt;
  18138. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 2018&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Lyle is transferred to the San Diego prison, where Erik is held.&lt;/p&gt;
  18139. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 4, 2018&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Lyle was moved into the same housing unit as Erik &amp;#8211; the first time the brothers were reunited in over 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  18140. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 2023 &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; The attorney representing Lyle and Erik files a habeas petition after Roy Rosselló, a member of the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, made sexual abuse allegations against Jose Menendez.&lt;/p&gt;
  18141. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 19, 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Monsters: The Lyle and Erik&amp;nbsp;Menendez&amp;nbsp;Story releases on Netflix.&lt;/p&gt;
  18142. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 3, 2024: &lt;/strong&gt;Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón said his office was reviewing new evidence in connection with Lyle and Erik&amp;#8217;s convictions.&lt;/p&gt;
  18143. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 7, 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The Menendez Brothers documentary film comes out on Netflix.&lt;/p&gt;
  18144. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 16, 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Family members of the Menendez brothers hold a press conference begging for the siblings to be released from prison.&lt;/p&gt;
  18145. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 24, 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón recommends the brothers be resentenced.&lt;/p&gt;
  18146. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;December 11, 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; The Menendez brothers are set to go before a judge in a scheduled hearing.&lt;/p&gt;
  18147. &lt;/div&gt;
  18148. &lt;/div&gt;
  18149. &lt;/div&gt;
  18151.  
  18152.  
  18153.  
  18154. &lt;p&gt;While prosecutors in the highly publicized murder trial believed the brothers killed their parents out of greed for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30943611/menendez-brothers-money-inheritance-parents-jose-kitty-estate/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;family&amp;#8217;s fortune&lt;/a&gt;, the siblings alleged they shot their parents in self-defense following years of sexual abuse by their dad.&lt;/p&gt;
  18155.  
  18156.  
  18157.  
  18158. &lt;p&gt;Over a dozen members of Erik and Lyle&amp;#8217;s family showed their support for the pair&amp;#8217;s release by speaking out in their defense at a press conference last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  18159.  
  18160.  
  18161.  
  18162. &lt;p&gt;The U.S. Sun has requested a comment from a lawyer representing the Menendez brothers&amp;#8217; family members.&lt;/p&gt;
  18163.

  18167.  
  18168.  
  18169.  
  18170. &lt;p&gt;Erik married his wife, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30877432/erik-menendezs-wife-tammi-seen-first-time-prison-release/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tammi Saccoman&lt;/a&gt;, and became a father figure to her daughter, Talia, from prison in June 1999.&lt;/p&gt;

  18177.  
  18178. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Lyle has been married twice &amp;#8211; and his relationship with the British student isn&amp;#8217;t the first time he&amp;#8217;s been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30731077/lyle-menendez-married-model-wife-anna-eriksson/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;caught cheating&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18213.  
  18214. &lt;p&gt;In 2017, Lyle told People that the couple spoke on the phone daily and had a strong relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

  18221.  
  18222. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It would be easier for her to walk away, but I’m profoundly grateful she hasn’t.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18223.  
  18224.  
  18225.

  18227.  
  18228.  
  18229.  
  18230. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, Gascón lost his reelection bid to former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman, who is set to review the case to make his own decision on the brothers&amp;#8217; possible &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31822612/erik-menendez-wife-lyle-tammi-gavin-newsom-california/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;clemency&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18293.  
  18294.  
  18295. &lt;p&gt;TROUBLED home improvement retailer Homebase has launched an &amp;#8220;administration sale&amp;#8221; in some stores, as 49 remain at risk of closure. &lt;/p&gt;
  18296.  
  18297.  
  18298.  
  18299. &lt;p&gt;Administration sales have been launched in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/homebase/&quot;&gt;Homebase&lt;/a&gt; branches in Loudwater in&amp;nbsp;Buckinghamshire, and Blackpole retail park in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/worcester/&quot;&gt;Worcester&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  18304.  
  18305.  
  18306.  
  18307. &lt;p&gt; Signs posted in the two stores read &amp;#8216;administration sale&amp;#8217; with discounts offered across thousands of products. &lt;/p&gt;
  18308.  
  18309.  
  18310.  
  18311. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not clear if the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/deals-sales/&quot;&gt;sales&lt;/a&gt; have been launched to simply clear stock or if the stores have been earmarked for closure. &lt;/p&gt;
  18312.  
  18313.  
  18314.  
  18315. &lt;p&gt;The future of 49 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/retail/&quot;&gt;stores&lt;/a&gt; remains uncertain after the home improvement store fell into administration earlier this month. &lt;/p&gt;
  18316.  
  18317.  
  18318.  
  18319. &lt;p&gt;When Homebase fell into administration Chris Dawson, owner of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-range/&quot;&gt;The Range&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31702279/homebase-administration-staff-saved-billionaire-range/&quot;&gt;rescued 70 stores in a pre-pack deal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18320.  
  18321.  
  18322.  
  18323. &lt;p&gt;It is understood the stores to have launched sales were not included in the sale, but administrators Teneo told The Sun it would not comment on their future. &lt;/p&gt;
  18324.  
  18325.  
  18326.  
  18327. &lt;p&gt;The deal with Mr Dawson also included the 40-year-old brand and its website.&lt;/p&gt;
  18328.  
  18329.  
  18330.  
  18331. &lt;p&gt;It has since been revealed that the Homebase name will continue solely online, as all 70 stores sold are set to be rebranded as The Range superstores.&lt;/p&gt;
  18332.  
  18333.  
  18334.  
  18335. &lt;p&gt;Administrators Teneo consultancy will now oversee the implementation of The Range&amp;#8217;s rescue deal and the sale of all of Homebase&amp;#8217;s remaining assets, including the remaining 49 stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  18336.  
  18337.  
  18338.  
  18339. &lt;p&gt;Homebase operated 119 stores&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nationwide/&quot;&gt;nationwide&lt;/a&gt;, including in major cities such as London, Birmingham, and Hull.&lt;/p&gt;
  18340.  
  18341.  
  18342.  
  18343. &lt;p&gt;The buyout has saved approximately 1,600&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jobs/&quot;&gt;jobs&lt;/a&gt;, but around 2,000 jobs and the 49 remaining stores face uncertainty.&lt;/p&gt;

  18368.  
  18369.  
  18370.  
  18371. &lt;p&gt;The home improvement store had been looking to reduce its estate in recent months and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sainsburys/&quot;&gt;Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;recently snapped up 11 of its outlets.&lt;/p&gt;
  18372.  
  18373.  
  18374.  
  18375. &lt;p&gt;The outlets will begin to close next month, before being converted into Sainsbury&amp;#8217;s supermarkets.&lt;/p&gt;

  18380.  
  18381.  
  18382.  
  18383. &lt;p&gt;Homebase&amp;#8217;s collapse comes after the retailer went through a string of different owners.&lt;/p&gt;
  18384.  
  18385.  
  18386.  
  18387. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/argos&quot;&gt;Argos&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;sold it for £360million in 2016 to Aussie conglomerate Wesfarmers, which tried and failed to use it as a UK launchpad for its Bunnings DIY brand.&lt;/p&gt;
  18388.  
  18389.  
  18390.  
  18391. &lt;p&gt;Despite DIY spending soaring in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt;, Homebase racked up losses as costs spiralled, and the cost-of-living crisis then hit demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  18392.  
  18393.  
  18394.  
  18395. &lt;p&gt;Homebase chief executive officer Damian McGloughlin said it had been an &amp;#8220;incredibly challenging three years&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18396.  
  18397.  
  18398.  
  18399. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A decline in consumer confidence has been exacerbated by persistent high&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt;, global supply chain issues and unseasonable&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/weather-2/&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;#8221; he added.&lt;/p&gt;

  18410. 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;

  18413. &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;
  18414. &lt;p&gt;The high street has seen a whole raft of closures over the past year, and more are coming.&lt;/p&gt;
  18415. &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;
  18416. &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;
  18417. &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;
  18418. &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;
  18419. &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;
  18420. &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;
  18421. &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;
  18422. &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;
  18423. &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;
  18424. &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;
  18425. &lt;p&gt;The Body Shop and Ted Baker are the biggest names to have already collapsed into administration this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  18426. &lt;/div&gt;
  18427. &lt;/div&gt;

  18666.  
  18667.  
  18668.  
  18669. &lt;p&gt;That includes some players he reckons won&amp;#8217;t fit into his preferred 3-4-3 system, as used in four years at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sporting-lisbon/&quot;&gt;Sporting Lisbon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18670.  
  18671.  
  18672.  
  18673. &lt;p&gt;This weekend&amp;#8217;s main selection&amp;nbsp;concern is likely to concern the front three.&lt;/p&gt;
  18674.  
  18675.  
  18676.  
  18677. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s thought Diallo&amp;#8217;s workrate, as well as his team ethic, give him the edge over widemen with arguably more flair but less consistency &amp;#8211; such as Garnacho and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/antony/&quot;&gt;Antony&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18678.  
  18679.  
  18680.  
  18681. &lt;p&gt;So the former&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196668/sunderland/&quot;&gt;Sunderland&lt;/a&gt; loanee, 22, might finally be in pole position to hold down a regular spot on the right wing for the Red Devils.&lt;/p&gt;
  18682.  
  18683.  
  18684.  
  18685. &lt;p&gt;Amorim perhaps hinted as much by saying:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;The team is the most important thing for me.&lt;/p&gt;
  18686.  
  18687.  
  18688.  
  18689. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If you work as a team, then the talent individually is going to shine.&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18690.  
  18691.

  18694.  
  18695.  
  18696.  
  18697. &lt;p&gt;The 39-year-old rated &amp;#8220;running back&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;character&amp;#8221; as other priorities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18698.  
  18699.  
  18700.  
  18701. &lt;p&gt;Diallo played the whole game last time out for United, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31622200/man-utd-3-leicester-0-van-nistelrooy-fernandes/&quot;&gt;3-0 Prem home win over Leicester&lt;/a&gt; on November 10.&lt;/p&gt;

  18726.  
  18727.  
  18728.  
  18729. &lt;p&gt;And Diallo&amp;#8217;s hopes of retaining his spot have been boosted by another factor.&lt;/p&gt;
  18730.  
  18731.  
  18732.  
  18733. &lt;p&gt;Amorim prefers playing three in defence &amp;#8211; whereas United&amp;#8217;s full-backs are more used to playing in a four-man rearguard.&lt;/p&gt;
  18734.  
  18735.  
  18736.  
  18737. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/diogo-dalot/&quot;&gt;Diogo Dalot&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/noussair-mazraoui/&quot;&gt;Noussair Mazraoui&lt;/a&gt; took those slots, right and left respectively, against &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196651/leicester-city/&quot;&gt;the Foxes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18738.  
  18739.  
  18740.  
  18741. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, left-backs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luke-shaw/&quot;&gt;Luke Shaw&lt;/a&gt; and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31733813/man-utd-tyrell-malacia-conspiracy-theories-injury/&quot;&gt;Tyrell Malacia&lt;/a&gt; are finally in full training again after long-term injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  18742.  
  18743.  
  18744.  
  18745. &lt;p&gt;But Diallo has impressed Amorim at Carrington with his hard graft.&lt;/p&gt;
  18746.  
  18747.  
  18748.  
  18749. &lt;p&gt;That means he might also be in contention for a starting position wide in midfield when the 13th-place Red Devils travel to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225846/ipswich-town/&quot;&gt;Ipswich&lt;/a&gt; in 17th.&lt;/p&gt;
  18750.  
  18751.  
  18752.  
  18753. &lt;p&gt;Amorim&amp;#8217;s new squad have been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31820352/ruben-amorim-man-utd-alex-ferguson-shadow/&quot;&gt;impressed with his Jose Mourinho levels of &amp;#8220;confidence&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18754.  
  18755.  
  18756.  
  18757. &lt;p&gt;So the big question this&amp;nbsp;weekend is: How much self-belief will he have to launch an instant shake-up with Diallo and all?&lt;/p&gt;
  18758.  
  18759.  
  18760.  
  18761. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  18768. Here&amp;#039;s how SunSport&amp;#039;s Martin Blackburn rated the Red Devils. &lt;/p&gt;
  18770. &lt;div&gt;
  18771. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANDRE ONANA – 7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18772. &lt;p&gt;Stood tall when Ndidi went through on goal and a decent tip round the post from Ayew as Leicester tried to get back in it.&lt;/p&gt;
  18773. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOUSSAIR MAZROUAI – 6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18774. &lt;p&gt;Lucky to escape tackle on Buonanotte without any punishment. Supplied the cross from the left which led to United’s second goal.&lt;/p&gt;
  18775. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18776. &lt;p&gt;Made a key second half clearance when the Foxes were trying to find their way back into the game. Fairly comfortable afternoon for home defenders.&lt;/p&gt;
  18777. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18778. &lt;p&gt;Spent the first hour at centre half then showed his versatility by switching to left-back when Dalot was forced off.&lt;/p&gt;
  18779. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIOGO DALOT – 6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18780. &lt;p&gt;Did a steady job keeping the Foxes at bay but then taken off on the hour – presumably due to injury as United had to reshuffle their defence.&lt;/p&gt;
  18781. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CASEMIRO – 7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18782. &lt;p&gt;Better from the veteran Brazilian who helped United take command of the game before getting the chance to put his feet up late on.&lt;/p&gt;
  18783. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MANUEL UGARTE – 6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18784. &lt;p&gt;Great challenge on Soumare showed what he is all about and some signs he is finding his feet. Will be looking forward to arrival of former boss Amorim.&lt;/p&gt;
  18785. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AMAD DIALLO – 7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18786. &lt;p&gt;Delightful backheel for Fernandes to curl home the opener and could have scored himself. The Ivorian has had a good week. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18787. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BRUNO FERNANDES – 8&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18788. &lt;p&gt;Presented with a shirt to mark his 250th appearance before the game and will be getting more plaudits for his performance here. Involved in all three goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  18789. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MARCUS RASHFORD – 5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18790. &lt;p&gt;Given the nod to start ahead of Garnacho but did not do enough to justify the faith of Van Nistelrooy. No surprise when he was replaced by the Argentine on the hour.&lt;/p&gt;
  18791. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RASMUS HOJLUND – 5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18792. &lt;p&gt;A largely ineffective afternoon for the Danish forward before he was subbed late on. Nothing wrong with his work-rate but does he have the quality Amorim will want?&lt;/p&gt;
  18793. &lt;/div&gt;
  18794. &lt;/div&gt;
  18795. &lt;/div&gt;
  18797.  
  18798.

  18846.  
  18847.

  18854.  
  18855.

  18857. &lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/24741883.watford-legend-blissett-rushed-hospital-collapsing/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Watford Observer&lt;/a&gt;, he was immediately rushed to Watford General Hospital before being transferred to a specialist in London for further assessments.&lt;/p&gt;
  18858.  
  18859.  
  18860.  
  18861. &lt;p&gt;Blissett had auctioned off a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196664/watford/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Watford&lt;/a&gt; shirt just hours beforehand.&lt;/p&gt;

  18863.  
  18864.

  18866.  
  18867.  
  18868.  
  18869. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Chairman &amp;amp; CEO Scott Duxbury said: &amp;#8216;Luther and all of his loved ones know they have our full support. We will do all we can to help.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  18870.  
  18871.  
  18872.  
  18873. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Hornets wish to confirm at this stage, however, that the club has had no direct confirmation of his circumstances from Luther or his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  18874.  
  18875.  
  18876.  
  18877. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everyone connected with Watford FC would like to wish Luther the fullest possible recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
  18878.  
  18879.  
  18880.  
  18881. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;‘Watford’s Favourite Son’ was helping raise money at a community event last weekend when he was taken ill.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18882.  
  18883.  
  18884.  
  18885. &lt;p&gt;Blissett spent 14 years with Watford across three different spells as a player.&lt;/p&gt;
  18886.  
  18887.  
  18888.  
  18889. &lt;p&gt;He made 210 appearances in total and scored 90 goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  18890.  
  18891.  
  18892.  
  18893. &lt;p&gt;The striker also played for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1302934/ac-milan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;AC Milan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196663/bournemouth/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bournemouth&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196661/west-brom/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;West Brom&lt;/a&gt;, Bury, Derry City, Mansfield Town, Southport, Wimborne Town, Fakenham Town and Chesham United.&lt;/p&gt;
  18894.  
  18895.  
  18896.  
  18897. &lt;p&gt;He was capped 14 times by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; and scored three international goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  18898.  
  18899.  
  18900.  
  18901. &lt;p&gt;After retiring, Blissett briefly took up management and spent another year with Chesham.&lt;/p&gt;
  18902.  
  18903.  
  18904.  
  18905. &lt;p&gt;He was awarded an OBE in 2022 for his services to football and charity.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  18971.  
  18972.  
  18973.  
  18974. &lt;p&gt;The 25-year-old had food poisoning, and explained: “I went to &lt;span id=&quot;898c4b0d-b694-4ee4-9516-9c6a1e190a97&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Thailand&lt;/span&gt; and I was there for two weeks and was eating all the street food and everything was fine.&lt;/p&gt;

  18976.  
  18977.  
  18978. &lt;p&gt;“The last three days we booked into a four star hotel and I thought there would be &lt;span id=&quot;a0e1b0ca-de0e-4885-87af-261bea10a032&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; food there.&lt;/p&gt;

  18980.  
  18981.  
  18982. &lt;p&gt;“I had a chicken burger and I bit into it,” to which Millie interjected: “You’d eaten a lot of it I thought.” &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18983.  
  18984.  
  18985.  
  18986. &lt;p&gt;Liam went on: “I had a few more bites and I thought this is really slimy, but I just assumed it was the lettuce or tomato or something like that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  18987.  
  18988.  
  18989.  
  18990. &lt;p&gt;Liam explained that he then looked into the burger to find that it was completely &lt;span id=&quot;ae79eaff-0dcb-4b38-bbda-32c596700e49&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pink&lt;/span&gt; inside.&lt;/p&gt;
  18991.  
  18992.  
  18993.  
  18994. &lt;p&gt;He went on: “It was completely raw.”&lt;/p&gt;

  19031.  
  19032.  
  19033.  
  19034. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on their podcast last month,&amp;nbsp; blonde beauty Millie began by saying, “People think that you cheated on me at Wireless Festival.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19035.  
  19036.  
  19037.  
  19038. &lt;p&gt;Liam responded, “Yeah, yeah,” while Millie continued, “In a toilet. It was this rumour that went around on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter-2/&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;. Liam wasn’t even at Wireless, he was with me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19039.  
  19040.  
  19041.  
  19042. &lt;p&gt;Clarifying his whereabouts, Liam added, “I was in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196709/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt;, wasn’t I?”&lt;/p&gt;
  19043.  
  19044.  
  19045.  
  19046. &lt;p&gt;Millie then explained how the situation had unfolded: “Yeah, but it’s over two weekends, so one weekend you were with me, and then the other weekend you went back to Wales, and um, obviously like you weren’t even there.&lt;/p&gt;
  19047.  
  19048.  
  19049.  
  19050. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Someone actually fully fledged made up this rumour, and it went viral, and then you were getting really badly trolled for cheating on me, supposedly.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19051.  
  19052.  
  19053.  
  19054. &lt;p&gt;Liam echoed her frustration: “Yeah, yeah. So, we had to announce our breakup, which is weird. We announced our breakup on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19055.  
  19056.  
  19057.  
  19058. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The &lt;span id=&quot;db24b54e-d95b-4f5d-b69a-d051690a2233&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; day, some girl made a tweet. She said the reason Liam and Millie broke up was because he was caught having sex in a Portaloo toilet at Wireless Festival, and it had like so many retweets and likes.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19059.  
  19060.  
  19061.  
  19062. &lt;p&gt;Millie added to the absurdity of the situation, saying, “And then as well, her mate was like, ‘Yes, um, I can prove this was true. I went into the toilet after them, after they came out, and her knickers were on the floor.’&lt;/p&gt;
  19063.  
  19064.  
  19065.  
  19066. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Do you know how wild that is? That someone would actually sit there and fully make up a lie and post that so it goes viral? Which ruins someone’s life.”&lt;/p&gt;

  19101.  
  19102. &lt;p&gt;DRIVERS are bracing for a string of major road closures this weekend, with half a dozen of the nation&amp;#8217;s busiest routes shutting down.&lt;/p&gt;
  19103.  
  19104.  
  19105.  
  19106. &lt;p&gt;National Highways is urging motorists to plan their journeys in advance and expect delays and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31779924/swindon-road-closure-diversion-route-today-chaos/&quot;&gt;diversions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19107.  
  19108.  
  19109.  
  19110. &lt;p&gt;The agency generally tries to schedule closures overnight on the weekends in order to minimise &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/travel-delays-strikes-and-disruption/&quot;&gt;disruption to traffic&lt;/a&gt;, especially commuters.&lt;/p&gt;
  19111.  
  19112.  
  19113.  
  19114. &lt;p&gt;But this does mean that anyone looking to travel over the weekends could find themselves facing extra congestion and long waits.&lt;/p&gt;
  19115.  
  19116.  
  19117.  
  19118. &lt;p&gt;In its latest road closure report, National Highways has listed some of the most significant &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31667034/major-road-closure-six-months-b4058-diversion/&quot;&gt;A-road closures&lt;/a&gt; set for the coming days.&lt;/p&gt;
  19119.  
  19120.  
  19121.  
  19122. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps the largest is the A1 (M) in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/north-east/&quot;&gt;North East&lt;/a&gt;, which run concurrently with part of the A1 in connecting London with Edinburgh.&lt;/p&gt;
  19123.  
  19124.  
  19125.  
  19126. &lt;p&gt;On both Saturday and Sunday, the main carriageway will be closed southbound from J37 to J36 from 8pm to 6am.&lt;/p&gt;
  19127.  
  19128.  
  19129.  
  19130. &lt;p&gt;This will affect the Marr Interchange just north of Doncaster, South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/yorkshire/&quot;&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19131.  
  19132.  
  19133.  
  19134. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/GM_21-11_MAP-MAJOR-ROAD-CLOSURE_GRAPHIC.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=831&quot; alt=&quot;a map showing major a-road closures this weekend&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31864408&quot; width=&quot;831&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  19135.  
  19136.  
  19137.  
  19138. &lt;p&gt;Likewise, the A1 will also see a closure northbound from J65 to J66 as it passes through Washington on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  19139.  
  19140.  
  19141.  
  19142. &lt;p&gt;This will then reopen at 6am on Sunday before the same stretch closes in the opposite direction from 8pm Sunday to 5am Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  19143.  
  19144.  
  19145.  
  19146. &lt;p&gt;Elsewhere, the A14 will close westbound from J13 to J9 at 8pm on Saturday night, reopening at 6am the next day.&lt;/p&gt;
  19147.  
  19148.  
  19149.  
  19150. &lt;p&gt;But there will be &amp;#8220;limited local access&amp;#8221;  to the carriageway to allow drivers to move around the area of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/northampton/&quot;&gt;Northamptonshire&lt;/a&gt; that it covers.&lt;/p&gt;

  19240.  
  19241.  
  19242.  
  19243. &lt;p&gt;She agreed to keep &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/page/2/&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; him if he met her terms &amp;#8211; paying for her beauty treatments and giving her a $1,000 weekly allowance to feel &amp;#8220;secure.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19244.  
  19245.  
  19246.

  19256.  
  19257.  
  19258.  
  19259. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is the idea I&amp;#8217;m only with him because of his money, it was one of my requirements but I wouldn&amp;#8217;t have married him because of that.&lt;/p&gt;
  19260.  
  19261.  
  19262.  
  19263. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We really encourage the best out of each other, we see the potential in each other.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  19299. &lt;p&gt;She decided to hit the dating apps but was set on what she wanted &amp;#8211; someone rich, attentive, and who had faith as an important aspect of their life.&lt;/p&gt;
  19300.  
  19301.  
  19302.  
  19303. &lt;p&gt;Alyssa&amp;#8217;s first question to potential dates was &amp;#8220;How do you feel about Jesus?&amp;#8221; and Mark&amp;#8217;s answer caught her by surprise.&lt;/p&gt;
  19304.  
  19305.  
  19306.  
  19307. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His answer was so funny. He said: &amp;#8216;How do I feel about Jesus? I toured the country talking about him,'&amp;#8221; she recalled.&lt;/p&gt;
  19308.  
  19309.  
  19310.  
  19311. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I thought &amp;#8216;Wow, I wasn&amp;#8217;t expecting that&amp;#8217; and we hit it off from there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19312.  
  19313.  
  19314.  
  19315. &lt;p&gt;Her second demand was &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m willing to meet you but you have to cover the babysitter.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  19331. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sam &amp;amp; Aaron Taylor-Johnson &amp;#8211; 23 years&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The director, 57, and actor, 43, reportedly met at a film audition in 2009, and were married by 2012.

Shortly after their engagement, the couple welcomed a son and married in 2000.&lt;/li&gt;
  19334. &lt;/ol&gt;
  19335. &lt;/div&gt;

  19341.  
  19342. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If a dude is going to argue with me about $45 for a baby sitter &amp;#8211; he&amp;#8217;s not worth my time,&amp;#8221; Alyssa said.&lt;/p&gt;
  19343.  
  19344.  
  19345.  
  19346. &lt;p&gt;When they met for their first date Alyssa was immediately attracted to Mark.&lt;/p&gt;
  19347.  
  19348.  
  19349.  
  19350. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His eyes literally sparkled, he has a very kind soul and his eyes twinkle,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  19351.  
  19352.  
  19353.  
  19354. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I really felt like I knew him and at the end he handed me $300 [£237] to cover the babysitter.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19355.  
  19356.  
  19357.  
  19358. &lt;p&gt;Mark immediately texted Alyssa asking to see her again.&lt;/p&gt;
  19359.  
  19360.  
  19361.  
  19362. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was very persistent,&amp;#8221; she recalled.&lt;/p&gt;

  19380.  
  19381.  
  19382.  
  19383. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I want a $1,000 [£790] weekly allowance to feel secure and I want to be exclusive.&lt;/p&gt;
  19384.  
  19385.  
  19386.  
  19387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He immediately sent me $2,000 [£1,580] and said I wasn&amp;#8217;t going on another date with anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  19388.  
  19389.  
  19390.  
  19391. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I loved it because I felt he had made it 100% clear how he felt about me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19392.  
  19393.  
  19394.  
  19395. &lt;p&gt;The money Mark sent Alyssa meant she was able to put a deposit down on a flat for herself and her daughter, Ziya, 11 &amp;#8211; who Mark has now adopted.&lt;/p&gt;
  19396.  
  19397.  
  19398.  
  19399. &lt;p&gt;Their relationship blossomed and after two years together, Mark popped the question in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  19400.  
  19401.  
  19402.  
  19403. &lt;p&gt;The couple tied the knot in a small legal ceremony in April 2022 and a month later they welcomed their son, Keanu, two, together.&lt;/p&gt;
  19404.  
  19405.  
  19406.  
  19407. &lt;p&gt;Alyssa calls herself a trophy wife but she feels her marriage is very much a &amp;#8220;partnership.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  19416.  
  19417.  
  19418.  
  19419. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Anything I want to pursue I can do it, any dream I have is shared and any desire is met,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  19420.  
  19421.  
  19422.  
  19423. &lt;p&gt;She explained that in return she is her husband&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;biggest cheerleader.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19424.  
  19425.  
  19426.  
  19427. &lt;p&gt;But Alyssa does love being spoilt by Mark and she no longer receives an allowance as they equally share their money.&lt;/p&gt;
  19428.  
  19429.  
  19430.  
  19431. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s such a Pisces. He&amp;#8217;s very romantic, I told him I like getting little small gifts,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  19432.  
  19433.  
  19434.  
  19435. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He takes that and understands it, he takes me shopping and buys me a Louis Vuitton.&lt;/p&gt;
  19436.

  19452.  
  19453.  
  19454.  
  19455. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When people look at me they make assumptions on who I am and my intentions &amp;#8211; because of my age and appearance,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;

  19463. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s no question of why we&amp;#8217;re together, it&amp;#8217;s not like he&amp;#8217;s an ugly fat fart, he&amp;#8217;s a handsome guy.&lt;/p&gt;

  19475. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When I went into the dating scene I had this idea of what I wanted in a man,&amp;#8221; she explained.&lt;/p&gt;
  19476.  
  19477.  
  19478.  
  19479. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I knew what I&amp;#8217;d be bringing into that person&amp;#8217;s life, that&amp;#8217;s what made me feel firm on my requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  19548.  
  19549.  
  19550.  
  19551. &lt;p&gt;On Valentine’s Day, Peggy Lawrence, 33, shared on social media that she was “absolutely heartbroken” over her split with Georges Berthonneau, adding: “Nobody is more upset about it than me.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19552.  
  19553.  
  19554.  
  19555. &lt;p&gt;But within weeks the narrative drastically changed as she furiously alleged that he cheated with an ex-girlfriend and claimed someone online sent her proof.&lt;/p&gt;
  19556.  
  19557.  
  19558.  
  19559. &lt;p&gt;Now, in what Georges says is “the last time I’m talking about Peggy”, for an exclusive interview with The Sun, he insists it was all lies and airs his suspicions that in fact, it was her who was unfaithful.&lt;/p&gt;
  19560.  
  19561.  
  19562.  
  19563. &lt;p&gt;Not only that – he claims to have fought to win her back, that she once followed him to try to ‘catch him cheating’ and slams those clinging on to fame, denouncing them as “fakes and frauds” at a “cesspool, loser fest”.&lt;/p&gt;
  19564.  
  19565.  
  19566.  
  19567. &lt;p&gt;Georges tells us: “I’ve got a message from Peggy’s ex-partner’s girlfriend, apparently she was begging for him back, buying him Christmas presents and meeting up with him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19568.  
  19569.  
  19570.  
  19571. &lt;p&gt;“They had a bit of a hiccup and she said to him, ‘Why the f*** are you texting your ex?’&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19572.  
  19573.  
  19574.  
  19575. &lt;p&gt;“That’s when she told me ‘You’ll be pleased to know when your contract is over with Peggy, she’s trying to get with my ex’. I was shocked.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19576.  
  19577.  
  19578.  
  19579. &lt;p&gt;“I looked for his Instagram handles online and couldn’t find them. He’s blocked all of my accounts. That’s a little fishy if you ask me.&lt;/p&gt;
  19580.  
  19581.  
  19582.  
  19583. &lt;p&gt;“I’ve never brought this up before in public, I’ve kept it close to my chest out of respect but she just wants to keep burning me with all of this bulls***.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19584.  
  19585.  
  19586.  
  19587. &lt;p&gt;“For someone so squeaky clean, it’s a bit fishy. I wouldn’t cheat on Peggy or on anyone.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  19611. &lt;p&gt;Georges says he started to “have doubts” about their relationship in early to mid-December last year, fearing she was flirting with and visiting her ex &amp;#8211; Peggy has denied any wrongdoing when approached by The Sun.&lt;/p&gt;
  19612.  
  19613.  
  19614.  
  19615. &lt;p&gt;He suggested they go on a break back in January but just two days later was begging for her back &amp;#8211; only for it to fall on deaf ears.&lt;/p&gt;
  19616.  
  19617.  
  19618.  
  19619. &lt;p&gt;He says: “I realised I wanted to give it another go and work things out but she ran with it and was like ‘You split up with me’.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19620.  
  19621.  
  19622.  
  19623. &lt;p&gt;“I think she wanted me to end things so that she didn’t look like the bad person and yes I ended it but then I said I didn’t want it to end and that I was stupid.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  19636.  
  19637.  
  19638.  
  19639. &lt;p&gt;Georges claims “none of Peggy’s story adds up” and claims she wasn’t invested in the relationship. He says she visited his home just three times in their 11 months of dating.&lt;/p&gt;
  19640.  
  19641.  
  19642.  
  19643. &lt;p&gt;He hoped there was still a chance for reconciliation after they ‘went on a break’ and he was “blindsided” when she announced they were over on February 14.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  19654. &lt;div&gt;
  19655. &lt;p&gt;Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  19656. &lt;p&gt;The pair couldn&amp;#8217;t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam&amp;#8217;s Doncaster home.&lt;/p&gt;
  19657. &lt;p&gt;Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.&lt;/p&gt;
  19658. &lt;p&gt;Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  19659. &lt;p&gt;Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out &amp;#8211; and excited for everything to come.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19660. &lt;p&gt;Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  19661. &lt;p&gt;Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.&lt;/p&gt;
  19662. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.&lt;/p&gt;
  19663. &lt;p&gt;“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’&lt;/p&gt;
  19664. &lt;p&gt;“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19665. &lt;p&gt;Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.&lt;/p&gt;
  19666. &lt;p&gt;Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna&amp;#8217;s vegan lifestyle, the show&amp;#8217;s first same sex pairing are still going strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  19667. &lt;p&gt;They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.&lt;/p&gt;
  19668. &lt;p&gt;Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19669. &lt;/div&gt;
  19670. &lt;/div&gt;
  19671. &lt;/div&gt;
  19673.  
  19674.  
  19675.  
  19676. &lt;p&gt;Georges adds: “You only have to look at her actions. To announce we had split up on Valentine’s Day shows everything. She’s showing people what she wants them to see.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  19680. &lt;p&gt;“She knew doing it then would cause traction, cause a scene and cause people to feel bad for her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19681.  
  19682.  
  19683.  
  19684. &lt;p&gt;“I was still fighting to win her back on Valentine’s Day, I sent her cards, chocolates and flowers while she sent me nothing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19685.  
  19686.  
  19687.  
  19688. &lt;p&gt;Among the things Georges argues do not add up is her claim that he cheated over the Christmas period when he took a friend, who is married, to a Christmas party and stayed over the night in a hotel.&lt;/p&gt;
  19689.  
  19690.  
  19691.  
  19692. &lt;p&gt;When Peggy couldn’t get a hold of him that night, she suspected he had an affair &amp;#8211; which he adamantly denies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19693.  
  19694.  
  19695.  
  19696. &lt;p&gt;Georges responds: “I got invited to an event with a plus-one because I was looking for management.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19697.  
  19698.  
  19699.  
  19700. &lt;p&gt;“As a thank you, I asked my friend who is married and I’ve known for many years. I’m allowed to have female friends. I’m not a homewrecker and I’m not a cheat.&lt;/p&gt;
  19701.  
  19702.  
  19703.  
  19704. &lt;p&gt;“There were a lot of paparazzi and journalists at the event when I was on this so-called ‘date’. I’m in the public eye, you’d have to be stupid to think you could get away with something like that.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19705.  
  19706.  
  19707.  
  19708. &lt;p&gt;“I got back to the hotel at around 4am and I passed out. I left my friend at the party with her friend who was there too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19709.  
  19710.  
  19711.  
  19712. &lt;p&gt;“I don’t ever pass out but I did that night. The next morning I rolled over and woke up at 12 thinking, ‘Shit, I’ve got to check out’ and messaged Peggy right after.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19713.  
  19714.  
  19715.  
  19716. &lt;p&gt;After leaving the hotel, Georges says he bumped into Peggy in a shop minutes away from his hotel and suspects she was spying on him, which she denies.&lt;/p&gt;
  19717.  
  19718.  
  19719.  
  19720. &lt;p&gt;He adds: “I’m around 200 steps away from the hotel, a few minutes walk, and I see someone in a shop. It’s Peggy. She lives an hour and a half away from where I’m staying.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19721.  
  19722.  
  19723.  
  19724. &lt;p&gt;“I head in and ask Peggy, ‘What are you doing here?’ I think she was trying to ‘catch me out’ believing I was cheating. She didn’t have a good reason for being there at all.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19725.  
  19726.  
  19727.  
  19728. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Moving on&lt;/h2&gt;
  19729.  
  19730.  
  19731.  
  19732. &lt;p&gt;The former MAFS man told us he has no intention to remain in the spotlight and looks forward to not talking about his reality star ex ever again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19733.  
  19734.  
  19735.  
  19736. &lt;p&gt;He says that’s very opposite to Peggy, who he claims “can’t stop” talking about him and attends “every event because she’s so desperate for fame and relevance”.&lt;/p&gt;
  19737.  
  19738.  
  19739.  
  19740. &lt;p&gt;Georges adds: “I didn’t want or feel the need to talk about this before, I’m here to set the record straight. I just want her to stop attacking me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19741.  
  19742.  
  19743.  
  19744. &lt;p&gt;“This is the last time I will be talking about Peggy. If anyone asks me about her again I will say, ‘Next question’.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19745.  
  19746.  
  19747.  
  19748. &lt;p&gt;“I want to focus on my business. I want to move on, get on with the next chapter of my life and stop talking about something so irrelevant that no one cares about.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19749.  
  19750.  
  19751.  
  19752. &lt;p&gt;“We are not famous or important. This industry is a cesspit and a conveyor belt. It’s full of fakes and frauds. I can’t stand it that’s why I’m separating myself from it.&lt;/p&gt;
  19753.  
  19754.  
  19755.  
  19756. &lt;p&gt;“Especially the events, they are the most cesspool-collecting loser-fest in the world. They are full of wannabes and I want no part of it.&lt;/p&gt;
  19757.  
  19758.  
  19759.  
  19760. &lt;p&gt;“I want to move on past this. This was a showmance because I was in and she was out. That’s the truth. I’m so over her and have been for months.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19761.  
  19762.  
  19763.  
  19764. &lt;p&gt;“It took until March but I remember noticing, ‘I feel so much better with there being less pressure. I’m so much happier now.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19765.  
  19766.  
  19767.  
  19768. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Peggy hits back &lt;/h2&gt;
  19769.  
  19770.  
  19771.  
  19772. &lt;p&gt;When The Sun contacted Peggy, she still insists Georges cheated and claimed to have ‘evidence’ but did not produce it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19773.  
  19774.  
  19775.  
  19776. &lt;p&gt;She said she discovered his infidelity on Valentine’s Day and did not want his gifts nor to “protect him any longer” so posted about their break-up on that date.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19777.  
  19778.  
  19779.  
  19780. &lt;p&gt;Peggy denied infidelity adding: “I have never cheated on anybody and never would.”&lt;/p&gt;
  19781.  
  19782.  
  19783.  
  19784. &lt;p&gt;She claimed she did give gifts to her ex but they were for his nephews “out of courtesy and politeness” because he sends presents for her nieces.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19785.  
  19786.  
  19787.  
  19788. &lt;p&gt;Peggy also denied having stalked her ex but did not explain why she was in the area where Georges had stayed the night.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19789.  
  19790.  
  19791.  
  19792. &lt;p&gt;She added: “I cancelled a big opportunity this day as I couldn’t sleep all night after finding out Georges was out with his ex and stayed in a hotel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  19793.  
  19794.  
  19795.  
  19796. &lt;p&gt;“I obviously loved George and it hurt me so much. He didn’t text me the whole evening yet posted stories at 4 am! I knew something was up!”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  19810.  
  19811.  
  19812.  
  19813.  
  19814.  
  19815.  
  19816.  
  19817.  
  19818.  
  19819. &lt;p&gt;WHATSAPP has made it much easier to hold a conversation through voice notes &amp;#8211; even when you&amp;#8217;re in a noisy environment. &lt;/p&gt;
  19820.  
  19821.  
  19822.  
  19823. &lt;p&gt;Voice notes, the little vocal messages you can ping to friends and family instead of a text or a call, are a brilliant way to liven up a conversation. &lt;/p&gt;
  19824.  
  19825.  
  19826.  
  19827. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_31861907&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/2024/11/image001-4-3.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;an advertisement for introducing voice message transcripts&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-31861907&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;WhatsApp &lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Transcripts are rolling out to users globally over the coming weeks, according to WhatsApp[/caption]
  19828.  
  19829.  
  19830.  
  19831. &lt;p&gt;But they can be frustrating to receive if you&amp;#8217;re in a loud environment. &lt;/p&gt;
  19832.  
  19833.  
  19834.  
  19835. &lt;p&gt;Or perhaps even more annoying when you&amp;#8217;re in a really quiet room, where you don&amp;#8217;t feel like playing half your conversation out loud. &lt;/p&gt;
  19836.  
  19837.  
  19838.  
  19839. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/meta&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Meta (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Meta&lt;/a&gt;-owned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;messenger (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;messenger&lt;/a&gt;, used by roughly 2billion people worldwide, has tried to ease this pain. &lt;/p&gt;
  19840.  
  19841.  
  19842.  
  19843. &lt;p&gt;It has introduced a transcription feature that spells out exactly what the audio message says. &lt;/p&gt;
  19844.  
  19845.  
  19846.  
  19847. &lt;p&gt;Once you long-press a voice note, a transcription will be tucked underneath that you can read instead of listen to. &lt;/p&gt;
  19848.  
  19849.  
  19850.  
  19851. &lt;p&gt;While security buffs may raise their eyebrows at this, in true &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/whatsapp/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;WhatsApp  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;WhatsApp &lt;/a&gt;fashion, the voice notes are end-to-end encrypted.&lt;/p&gt;
  19852.  
  19853.  
  19854.  
  19855. &lt;p&gt;This means that even though WhatsApp is transcribing the voice note &amp;#8211; the company cannot actually hear or read the contents of the message. &lt;/p&gt;
  19856.  
  19857.  
  19858.  
  19859. &lt;p&gt;Nor can anyone else for that matter, not even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cyber-crime-hacking/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;hackers  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;hackers &lt;/a&gt;or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;police (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  19860.  
  19861.  
  19862.  
  19863. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Voice message transcripts are generated on your device, and your personal voice messages remain protected by end-to-end encryption,&amp;#8221; the company writes in a new help page for the tool.&lt;/p&gt;
  19864.  
  19865.  
  19866.  
  19867. &lt;p&gt;Transcripts are rolling out to users globally over the coming weeks, on both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/android/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Android  (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Android &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ios/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;iOS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;iOS&lt;/a&gt;, according to WhatsApp.&lt;/p&gt;

  19957.  
  19958.  
  19959.  
  19960. &lt;p&gt;OBSIDIAN is a game developer known for bringing games back from the brink, and has such a wide library it’s hard to pin down.&lt;/p&gt;
  19961.  
  19962.  
  19963.  
  19964. &lt;p&gt;South Park: Stick of Truth turned the corner on the series’ game adaptations, that is until THQ Nordic’s disastrous &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/26792972/south-park-snow-day-review/&quot;&gt;South Park: Snow Day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  19977.  
  19978.  
  19979.  
  19980. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fallout-video-game/&quot;&gt;Fallout&lt;/a&gt;: New Vegas was seen as a return to form after Bethesda’s misguided Fallout 3.&lt;/p&gt;
  19981.  
  19982.  
  19983.  
  19984. &lt;p&gt;Pentiment was something completely new in a murder mystery based on typography, but not all Obsidian games have been hits.&lt;/p&gt;
  19985.  
  19986.  
  19987.  
  19988. &lt;p&gt;Obsidian’s next offering is Avowed, a fantasy action RPG that, from the trailer, looked like it was trying to reinvent another Bethesda series, The Elder Scrolls.&lt;/p&gt;
  19989.  
  19990.  
  19991.  
  19992. &lt;p&gt;Like Fallout before it, from a first look it seems that the team might pull off the Bethesda comeback once again.&lt;/p&gt;
  19993.  
  19994.  
  19995.  
  19996. &lt;p&gt;You start like most Western RPGs with a character creator though options are quite limited at this point.&lt;/p&gt;
  19997.  
  19998.  
  19999.  
  20000. &lt;p&gt;We assume this is because we are still a way off its February 18, 2025, release date, and hope it’s more fleshed out in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  20001.  
  20002.  
  20003.  
  20004. &lt;p&gt;One thing won’t change, despite being the hero of the story, you cannot escape that people judge you by your hideous mushroom like deformities.&lt;/p&gt;
  20005.  
  20006.  
  20007.  
  20008. &lt;p&gt;In our preview we saw very little of the story, but we enjoyed the characters and thought that the writing was strong.&lt;/p&gt;
  20009.  
  20010.  
  20011.  
  20012. &lt;p&gt;Within the first hour, we already encountered some interesting characters and varied locations and were immediately drawn in to see more.&lt;/p&gt;
  20013.  
  20014.  
  20015.  
  20016. &lt;p&gt;Interaction is carried out with plenty of dialogue options to help you craft your character to your liking.&lt;/p&gt;
  20017.  
  20018.  
  20019.  
  20020. &lt;p&gt;Some of the dialogue options are locked behind your stats, and this is an interesting addition to further strengthen the individuality of your character.&lt;/p&gt;
  20021.  
  20022.  
  20023.  
  20024. &lt;p&gt;The combat is Avowed’s greatest strength with your standard heavy and light attacks for different situations.&lt;/p&gt;
  20025.  
  20026.  
  20027.  
  20028. &lt;p&gt;Sword swings feel weighty, whereas your bow will feel sharp and quick.&lt;/p&gt;
  20029.  
  20030.  
  20031.  
  20032. &lt;p&gt;There is also a magic system that can be accessed two ways, either via magic tomes, or by speccing into magic during your level up.&lt;/p&gt;
  20033.  
  20034.  
  20035.  
  20036. &lt;p&gt;It gives you more options for how to build your character, mixing between melee and magic.&lt;/p&gt;
  20037.  
  20038.  
  20039.  
  20040. &lt;p&gt;You can even create two separate loadouts and switch between them with the tap of a button.&lt;/p&gt;
  20041.  
  20042.  
  20043.  
  20044. &lt;p&gt;The world design is almost as appealing as the level design, which feels unique despite how many similar games have come before it.&lt;/p&gt;
  20045.  
  20046.  
  20047.  
  20048. &lt;p&gt;There’s still a long way to go until Avowed’s release, but we’re hoping it lives up to these high early expectations.&lt;/p&gt;

  20123. &lt;p&gt;WINTER is well and truly here as parts of the UK experience sub zero temperatures this week.&lt;/p&gt;
  20124.  
  20125.  
  20126.  
  20127. &lt;p&gt;As the deep freeze &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31848861/another-8inches-snow-today-met-office-warning/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;sweeps the nation (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;sweeps the nation&lt;/a&gt;, Brits are waking up to the unwelcome sight of a frosted over windscreen.&lt;/p&gt;

  20132.  
  20133.  
  20134.  
  20135. &lt;p&gt;Many a motorist has spent miserable,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/31764889/pensioners-freeze-to-death-harsh-weather-labours-cuts/&quot;&gt;freezing mornings&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;hacking away with an ice scraper or waiting an eternity for the heater to clear even the tiniest gap.&lt;/p&gt;
  20136.  
  20137.  
  20138.  
  20139. &lt;p&gt;Fortunately, savvy experts at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skifamille.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;Ski Famille (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ski Famille&lt;/a&gt; have noted an easy two-step parking method to avoid the pesky de-icing process.&lt;/p&gt;
  20140.  
  20141.  
  20142.  
  20143. &lt;p&gt;Best of all, it&amp;#8217;s a cheap fix and won&amp;#8217;t force you to use up extra fuel, especially as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31004887/drivers-petrol-prices-chancellor-reeves-fuel-duty-hike/&quot;&gt;pump prices rocket&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  20144.  
  20145.  
  20146.  
  20147. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Park smart. If possible, park your car facing east,&amp;#8221; the weather expert warned.&lt;/p&gt;
  20148.  
  20149.  
  20150.  
  20151. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If possible, park your car facing east. The morning sun can help melt frost naturally.&lt;/p&gt;
  20152.  
  20153.  
  20154.  
  20155. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In extreme cold, consider parking near a wall or building for extra shelter from the wind.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  20156.  
  20157.  
  20158.  
  20159. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson from Ski Famille added: “Dealing with frozen cars is a daily reality on ski holidays, so we’ve learned a few tricks. &lt;/p&gt;
  20160.  
  20161.  
  20162.  
  20163. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Simple things like covering your windscreen and preparing door seals can make a big difference. &lt;/p&gt;
  20164.  
  20165.  
  20166.  
  20167. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The goal is to prevent the freeze before it happens—preparation is everything!”&lt;/p&gt;

  20202.

  20223. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Cover Your Windscreen Overnight&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20224. &lt;p&gt;Place a towel, tarp, or even a large piece of cardboard over your windscreen the night before. This prevents frost from forming and saves you precious time in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;Don’t have a cover? Use an old shower curtain or a reusable car frost shield.&lt;/p&gt;
  20225. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Defrost with Household Items&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20226. &lt;p&gt;Mix three parts vinegar with one part water and spray it on your windscreen to melt light frost.&lt;br /&gt;Alternatively, rub a halved onion or potato on your windscreen the night before—these create a layer that reduces frost buildup.&lt;/p&gt;
  20227. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Prevent Frozen Doors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20228. &lt;p&gt;To stop doors from freezing shut, spray a little cooking oil or silicone spray on the door seals and wipe it with a cloth. This creates a protective barrier against ice.&lt;br /&gt;If the door is already frozen, push gently on the door frame to crack the ice before trying to pull it open.&lt;/p&gt;
  20229. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Lift Your Wipers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20230. &lt;p&gt;Prevent your wiper blades from sticking to the glass by lifting them off the windscreen overnight.&lt;br /&gt;If they’re already frozen, pour lukewarm (not hot) water over them and gently lift.&lt;/p&gt;
  20231. &lt;/div&gt;
