  60. &lt;p&gt;A LITTLE known car brand has revealed a new motor that will rival an iconic Land Rover model and it&amp;#8217;s coming to the UK in just months. &lt;/p&gt;
  61.  
  62.  
  63.  
  64. &lt;p&gt;The premium hybrid off-roader will be part of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;manufacturers&lt;/a&gt; new line-up as it prepares to break into UK markets.&lt;/p&gt;

  73.  
  74.  
  75.  
  76. &lt;p&gt;In a direct challenge to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/land-rover/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Land Rover&lt;/a&gt; Defender, Denza are bringing their new BYD Denza B5 to the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  77.  
  78.  
  79.  
  80. &lt;p&gt;With competitive off-road stats and levels of power only seen in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/supercars/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;supercars&lt;/a&gt;, the B5 is a premium &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/electric-cars/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;plug-in&lt;/a&gt; hybrid 4&amp;#215;4.&lt;/p&gt;
  81.  
  82.  
  83.  
  84. &lt;p&gt;It was launched in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/china/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;China&lt;/a&gt; last year as the Bao 5 and is one of three new models from BYD&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/suvs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; sub-brand Fangchengbao.&lt;/p&gt;
  85.  
  86.  
  87.  
  88. &lt;p&gt;But it&amp;#8217;s likely to be named Denza in the UK and positioned as a sibling to the Z9 GT which will also be hitting UK markets next year.&lt;/p&gt;
  89.  
  90.  
  91.  
  92. &lt;p&gt;Denza is a joint venture between BYD and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mercedes-benz/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mercedes-Benz&lt;/a&gt; and was founded in 2010 but it&amp;#8217;s wholly owned by the Chinese company. &lt;/p&gt;
  93.  
  94.  
  95.  
  96. &lt;p&gt;The motor will make its debut at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/goodwood-festival-of-speed/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Goodwood Festival of Speed&lt;/a&gt; next week ahead of the 4&amp;#215;4 hitting the market in early 2026. &lt;/p&gt;
  97.  
  98.  
  99.  
  100. &lt;p&gt;The company&amp;#8217;s president, Stella Li, told Autocar last year that she predicted the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/suvs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;SUVs&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8220;will be very popular in the UK&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  101.  
  102.  
  103.  
  104. &lt;p&gt;She said: “In the UK, the roads are narrow but we love these big SUV off-road cars, so Fangchengbao will be here.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108. &lt;p&gt;BYD has so far been absent in the large premium SUVs sector which is highly popular. &lt;/p&gt;
  109.  
  110.  
  111.  
  112. &lt;p&gt;No specification details have been released for the new B5, but is expected to largely resemble the car in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/china/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;China&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  113.  
  114.  
  115.  
  116. &lt;p&gt;It uses a &amp;#8220;DMO Super Hybrid Off-Road&amp;#8221; ladder-frame platform and its power comes from a plug-in hybrid system centre around a 1.5 litre turbo engine with an electric motor on each axle. &lt;/p&gt;
  117.  
  118.  
  119.  
  120. &lt;p&gt;It can reach 677bhp, more than any &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/land-rover/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Defender&lt;/a&gt;, including the V8 Octa. &lt;/p&gt;
  121.  
  122.  
  123.  
  124. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s considerable battery can supposedly reach a range of up to 78 miles but that&amp;#8217;s likely to be around 50 miles in practice. &lt;/p&gt;
  125.  
  126.  
  127.  
  128. &lt;p&gt;The B5 is part of BYD&amp;#8217;s effort to increase its hybrid car offering against a backdrop of wavering &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/electric-cars/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;EV&lt;/a&gt; uptake in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/europe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  149.  
  150.  
  151.  
  152. &lt;p&gt;The core BYD line-up is also set to see a new arrival next year with the Seal 06, a plug-in hybrid in the mould of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bmw/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BMW&lt;/a&gt; 3 Series. &lt;/p&gt;
  153.  
  154.  
  155.  
  156. &lt;p&gt;The B5 announcement comes as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/34412060/car-brand-evs-better-rival-firms-coming-uk-denza/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun reported in April&lt;/a&gt; that Denza was readying its stylish Denza Z9 GT. &lt;/p&gt;
  157.  
  158.  
  159.  
  160. &lt;p&gt;It will launch in Europe this year, with a UK launch expected for 2026. &lt;/p&gt;
  161.  
  162.  
  163.  
  164. &lt;p&gt;The&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/luxury/&quot;&gt;luxury&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;estate, which is looking to break into the same market occupied by the&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/porsche/&quot;&gt;Porsche&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Panamera and&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/porsche/&quot;&gt;Porsche&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Taycan, was designed by former&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/audi/&quot;&gt;Audi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alfa-romeo/&quot;&gt;Alfa Romeo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;designer Wolfgang Egger.&lt;/p&gt;
  165.  
  166.  
  167.  
  168. &lt;p&gt;The Sun also reported in March that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33946842/byd-dolphin-surf-seagull-ev-cheap-europe-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BYD is readying a low-cost, pint-sized hatchback called the Dolphin Surf&lt;/a&gt; which is to be launched in the UK later this year. &lt;/p&gt;
  169.  
  170.  
  171.  
  172. &lt;p&gt;BYD is hoping to compete with the likes of Dacia and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fiat/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Fiat&lt;/a&gt; with the new release &amp;#8211; which will be one of the cheapest available to buy from new. &lt;/p&gt;
  173.  
  174.  
  175.  
  176. &lt;p&gt;The upcoming release comes as BYD looks to establish itself as a major player in the global car market &amp;#8211; with the lofty goal of becoming the world&amp;#8217;s largest car maker.&lt;/p&gt;
  177.  
  178.  
  179.  
  180. &lt;p&gt;The UK is seen as a key market for its success, with BYD&amp;#8217;s brand awareness increasing from 1% at the start of 2024 to 31% by the end of the year.&lt;/p&gt;

  250. &lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34970796/cadbury-new-chocolate-bar-flavour-food-twirl-white-dipped/&quot;&gt; Twirl White Dipped&lt;/a&gt; impressed chocolate lovers after being teased by the company in June.&lt;/p&gt;
  251.  
  252.  
  253.  
  254. &lt;p&gt;They are very similar to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34970796/cadbury-new-chocolate-bar-flavour-food-twirl-white-dipped/&quot;&gt;Cadbury&amp;#8217;s iconic Twirls&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; but are coated with white chocolate instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;OK but we’ve really outdone ourselves with this one,&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;they told shoppers.&lt;/p&gt;
  259.  
  260.  
  261.  
  262. &lt;p&gt;They described the flavour as &amp;#8220;unreal, indulgent, smooth, swirly, creamy, melty, new, and mouthwatering&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  263.  
  264.  
  265.  
  266. &lt;p&gt;And now B&amp;amp;M have announced the sweet treat has arrived at their stores. &lt;/p&gt;
  267.  
  268.  
  269.  
  270. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for the budget retailer penned on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Calling all White Choccy Fans!!&lt;/p&gt;
  271.  
  272.  
  273.  
  274. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Twirl White Dipped has landed in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bm-stores/&quot;&gt;B&amp;amp;M&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; and it’s a NEED!! 89p&lt;/p&gt;
  275.  
  276.  
  277.  
  278. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Who’s snapping this up?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  279.  
  280.  
  281.  
  282. &lt;p&gt;Excited shoppers hailed the new snack: &amp;#8220;I want one!!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  283.  
  284.  
  285.  
  286. &lt;p&gt;Another commented: &amp;#8220;They are so good.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  310. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;These look very yummy,&amp;#8221; echoed someone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  311.  
  312.  
  313.  
  314. &lt;p&gt;A fourth agreed: &amp;#8220;Really lush, had one on Saturday.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. &lt;p&gt;Other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cadbury/&quot;&gt;Cadbury &lt;/a&gt;customers previously compared the latest launch to the Cadburys Flake Snowflake.&lt;/p&gt;
  319.  
  320.  
  321.  
  322. &lt;p&gt;Launched in 2000, the now discontinued bar featured white chocolate flakes coated in milk chocolate.&lt;/p&gt;
  323.  
  324.  
  325.  
  326. &lt;p&gt;The chocolate bars have also been spotted in local convenience stores, with Newfoodsuk post stating: &amp;#8220;Wow, these are outstanding &amp;#8211; closest bar you’ll ever get to a Cadbury Snowflake!  &lt;/p&gt;
  327.  
  328.  
  329.  
  330. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We spotted these at our local convenience store!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  331.  
  332.  
  333.  
  334. &lt;p&gt;Katya Savelieva, Brand Manager for Twirl at Mondelez International, said of the new bars: “Cadbury Twirl has always been a fan favourite, so it&amp;#8217;s no surprise that limited editions like Cadbury Twirl Orange and Cadbury Twirl Mint had everyone talking.&lt;/p&gt;
  335.  
  336.  
  337.  
  338. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won’t want to miss &amp;#8211; grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  339.  
  340.  
  341.  
  342. &lt;p&gt;The bar first hit shelves on June 2, and since it won&amp;#8217;t be around for ever, sweet-toothed fans should consider stocking up whilst they&amp;#8217;re still on shelves.&lt;/p&gt;
  343.  
  344.  
  345.  
  346. &lt;p&gt;Twirl bar were first released in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ireland/&quot;&gt;Ireland&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 1985, as a single finger bar.&lt;/p&gt;
  347.  
  348.  
  349.  
  350. &lt;p&gt;They hit UK shelves two years later in its classic double finger form.&lt;/p&gt;
  351.  
  352.  
  353.  
  354. &lt;p&gt;Eventually the Twirl bar solidified itself as a fan favourite among Cadbury customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  355.  
  356.  
  357.  
  358. &lt;p&gt;It has since earned its place in the coveted Cadbury&amp;#8217;s Heroes tin, available at Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;
  359.  
  360.  
  361.  
  362. &lt;p&gt;The news comes as Cadbury officially announced it has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34962450/cadbury-coffee-cream-discontinued/&quot;&gt;discontinued a popular bar&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  363.  
  364.  
  365.  
  366. &lt;p&gt;This product axe was all the more shocking as it occurred just two years after the bar&amp;#8217;s launch.&lt;/p&gt;
  367.  
  368.  
  369.  
  370. &lt;p&gt;Cadburys fans recently shared their excitement after finding an item that is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34908798/cadbury-chocolate-discontinued-snack/&quot;&gt;similar to another discontinued favourite&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

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

  416. &lt;/div&gt;
  417.  
  418.  
  419.  
  420.  
  421.  
  422.  
  423.  
  424.  
  425.  
  426. &lt;p&gt;MINISTERS have no idea how many migrants overstay their visas and work illegally, say worried MPs.&lt;/p&gt;
  427.  
  428.  
  429.  
  430. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/home-office/&quot;&gt;Home Office&lt;/a&gt; staff &lt;span id=&quot;ec0a50ae-7525-4d14-8761-9cb73e5b24ae&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;fail&lt;/span&gt; to check exit data under the skilled worker visa scheme, they claim.&lt;/p&gt;
  431.  
  432.  
  433.  
  434. &lt;p&gt;A damning report by Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee found ministers have not even checked exit data since the skilled worker visa scheme was launched in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  435.  
  436.  
  437.  
  438. &lt;p&gt;More than 1.18 million people have come to Britain on the visas, including thousands to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34897170/starmer-home-secretary-visa-crackdown-immigration/&quot;&gt;fill care home jobs.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  439.  
  440.  
  441.  
  442. &lt;p&gt;But MPs claim officials do not know &amp;#8220;what proportion of people return to their home country after their visa has expired, and how many may be working illegally in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/united-kingdom/&quot;&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  443.  
  444.  
  445.  
  446. &lt;p&gt;The PAC also revealed “widespread evidence of workers suffering debt bondage, working excessive hours and exploitative conditions”, with little action taken to fix it.&lt;/p&gt;
  447.  
  448.  
  449.  
  450. &lt;p&gt;Committee chairman Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP blasted: “There has long been mounting evidence of serious issues with the system, laid bare once again in our inquiry.&lt;/p&gt;
  451.  
  452.  
  453.  
  454. &lt;p&gt;“And yet basic information, such as how many people on skilled worker visas have been modern slavery victims, and whether people leave the UK after their visas expire, seems to still not have been gathered by Government.”&lt;/p&gt;
  455.  
  456.  
  457.  
  458. &lt;p&gt;It comes an investigation by The Sun uncovered the shameless criminality of&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35637997/illegal-migrants-delivery-riders-arrested-cops/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; asylum seekers earning cash from takeaway drop-offs&lt;/a&gt; while living on taxpayer handouts.&lt;/p&gt;

  496. <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  497.  
  498.  
  499.  
  500. &lt;p&gt;Read on to see what’s written in the stars for you today. &lt;/p&gt;
  501.  
  502.  
  503.  
  504. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2648.png&quot; alt=&quot;♈&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em; max-height: 1em;&quot; /&gt; ARIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  505.  
  506.  
  507.  
  508. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 21 to April 20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  509.  
  510.  
  511.  
  512. &lt;p&gt;You can declare this your personal independence day, in emotional terms, as Neptune turns retrograde in your sign.&lt;/p&gt;
  513.  
  514.  
  515.  
  516. &lt;p&gt;You have more answers in your heart than you may think – the key is to access them.&lt;/p&gt;
  517.  
  518.  
  519.  
  520. &lt;p&gt;By breaking free from old patterns of loving, and perhaps loyalty, and being open to change, you can do just that.&lt;/p&gt;
  521.  
  522.  
  523.  
  524. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35488801&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 950px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/image_c9b4ac.png?strip=all&amp;amp;w=940&quot; alt=&quot;Mystic Meg with Maggie Innes, Friday.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35488801&quot; width=&quot;940&quot; height=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Your weekly horoscope for Friday&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

  907.  
  908.  
  909.  
  910. &lt;p&gt;If you have never considered a career in a caring role, this could be your moment – so many aspects of your chart point towards this.&lt;/p&gt;
  911.  
  912.  
  913.  
  914. &lt;p&gt;But it must be on your terms, and something you want, rather than feeling you should.&lt;/p&gt;
  915.  
  916.  
  917.  
  918. &lt;p&gt;In love, deep feelings abound – this time, you won’t just cope with them, you can celebrate them.&lt;/p&gt;

  931.  
  932.  
  933.  
  934. &lt;p&gt;When you make the first move, even if you feel they are in the wrong, it can be a gesture of peace that changes everything.&lt;/p&gt;
  935.  
  936.  
  937.  
  938. &lt;p&gt;So do consider if this is something you are prepared to try.&lt;/p&gt;
  939.  
  940.  
  941.  
  942. &lt;p&gt;Setting a deadline on any response can be a positive approach that keeps you in control.&lt;/p&gt;
  943.  
  944.  
  945.  
  946. &lt;p&gt;Luck waits where items are refunded.&lt;/p&gt;

  956.  
  957.  
  958. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;December 22 to January 20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  959.  
  960.  
  961.  
  962. &lt;p&gt;Your new Venus self is self-helping – you can start to see the key to a happy future lies in your hands.&lt;/p&gt;
  963.  
  964.  
  965.  
  966. &lt;p&gt;And events that may have felt out of control calm down again.&lt;/p&gt;
  967.  
  968.  
  969.  
  970. &lt;p&gt;Repeating a positive message to yourself keeps confidence high, and your trust in the future stronger than any possible regrets about the past.&lt;/p&gt;

  986. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 21 to February 18&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  987.  
  988.  
  989.  
  990. &lt;p&gt;Your communication style may be cool and collected, but the new direction of Neptune can change this to something more open and vulnerable.&lt;/p&gt;
  991.  
  992.  
  993.  
  994. &lt;p&gt;Admitting you may not always know all the answers is a liberation for you, and encourages other people to open up, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  995.  
  996.  
  997.  
  998. &lt;p&gt;A journey that’s been delayed can get a prize boost.&lt;/p&gt;

  1008.  
  1009.  
  1010. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 19 to March 20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1011.  
  1012.  
  1013.  
  1014. &lt;p&gt;Ignoring a health question is not a solution. &lt;/p&gt;
  1015.  
  1016.  
  1017.  
  1018. &lt;p&gt;So much of money management is dry and detailed – but you can let a little more emotion into cash transactions.&lt;/p&gt;
  1019.  
  1020.  
  1021.  
  1022. &lt;p&gt;Denying your feelings, especially about deals or discussions, is not a smart strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
  1023.  
  1024.  
  1025.  
  1026. &lt;p&gt;So if you have strong views, do share them. Love has a new sense of security, that can start with an “M” address.&lt;/p&gt;

  1051. &lt;p&gt;TEMPLEGATE tackles Friday&amp;#8217;s action hungry for winners.&lt;/p&gt;
  1052.  
  1053.  
  1054.  
  1055. &lt;p&gt;Back a horse by clicking their odds below.&lt;/p&gt;
  1056.  
  1057.  
  1058.  
  1059. &lt;p&gt;CASH (4.10 Sandown, nap). &lt;/p&gt;
  1060.  
  1061.  
  1062.  
  1063. &lt;p&gt;Jamie Spencer’s mount can swoop late to take the Listed Gala Stakes. He was in decent form at Goodwood last time when the challenge came a little late. There are a couple of prominent racers in the field who should set it up nicely.&lt;/p&gt;

  1068.  
  1069.  
  1070.  
  1071. &lt;p&gt;ELSASS (3.25 Doncaster, nb) &lt;/p&gt;
  1072.  
  1073.  
  1074.  
  1075. &lt;p&gt;Went down in a tight finish here last time and can go one better for in-form Charlie Johnston. The handicapper has left his mark alone despite that promising effort and he has a lot more to offer with just four starts under his belt.&lt;/p&gt;
  1076.  
  1077.  
  1078.

  1080.  
  1081.  
  1082.  
  1083. &lt;p&gt;TRUESHAN (4.45 Sandown, treble).&lt;/p&gt;
  1084.  
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087. &lt;p&gt;He’s nine now but looked in good form when returning with an excellent fourth in a French Group 1 last time out. It’s a big drop down to Listed level from there and we know he has plenty of staying power. He won this race last year and can repeat the feat.&lt;/p&gt;

  1169.  
  1170.  
  1171.  
  1172.  
  1173. &lt;p&gt;FANS have been left unimpressed over &amp;#8216;laughable&amp;#8217; Ozzy Osbourne charges for a VIP meet and greet.&lt;/p&gt;
  1174.  
  1175.  
  1176.  
  1177. &lt;p&gt;Ozzy co-founded iconic rock band &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/black-sabbath/&quot;&gt;Black Sabbath&lt;/a&gt; in Birmingham back in 1968.&lt;/p&gt;
  1178.

  1182.  
  1183.  
  1184.  
  1185. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35690653&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/l-r-musicians-geezer-butler-969412311.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Black Sabbath band members at a press conference.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35690653&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;659&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Ozzy rose to fame in iconic rock band Black Sabbath[/caption]
  1186.  
  1187.  
  1188.  
  1189. &lt;p&gt;He will soon be appearing at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/comic-con/&quot;&gt;Comic Con&lt;/a&gt; Midlands along with his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  1190.  
  1191.  
  1192.  
  1193. &lt;p&gt;However, pricing for a VIP meet and greet with Ozzy has reportedly left fans raging.&lt;/p&gt;
  1194.  
  1195.  
  1196.  
  1197. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a aria-label=&quot;The Mirror (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/ozzy-osbourne-charging-1400-photo-35491014&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Mirror&lt;/a&gt; reports enthusiasts are being charged £666 for the top-level Ultimate Sin VIP package.&lt;/p&gt;
  1198.  
  1199.  
  1200.  
  1201. &lt;p&gt;This comprises a group photo with Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack &amp;#8211; but is restricted to two people per photo, except for under-5s.&lt;/p&gt;
  1202.  
  1203.  
  1204.  
  1205. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, supporters hoping Ozzy will sign their guitar or microphone will have to fork out £750.&lt;/p&gt;
  1206.  
  1207.  
  1208.  
  1209. &lt;p&gt;This comes to £1,416 altogether, when counting the Ultimate Sin VIP package.&lt;/p&gt;
  1210.  
  1211.  
  1212.  
  1213. &lt;p&gt;As well as this, the music legend will also sign a book for £225 as well as a album, toy or poster for £375 &amp;#8211; for VIP purchasers.&lt;/p&gt;
  1214.  
  1215.  
  1216.  
  1217. &lt;p&gt;Writing on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, one user commented: &amp;#8220;Laughable prices, genuinely laughable.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1218.  
  1219.  
  1220.  
  1221. &lt;p&gt;Another joked: &amp;#8220;Time to start selling me kidney.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1222.  
  1223.  
  1224.  
  1225. &lt;p&gt;While a third queried: &amp;#8220;Do we have to get VIP to meet Ozzy or can we meet him solo?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1226.

  1249. &lt;p&gt;To which the events page replied: &amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;ll need the VIP package.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1250.  
  1251.  
  1252.  
  1253. &lt;p&gt;The 76-year-old has reunited with &lt;span id=&quot;094d522a-6a9b-4363-a74a-4e761d5cc270&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Black Sabbath&lt;/span&gt; on several occasions after originally leaving in 1979.&lt;/p&gt;
  1254.  
  1255.  
  1256.  
  1257. &lt;p&gt;On Saturday, he will perform alongside his bandmates &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35584268/black-sabbath-final-show-singer-pulls-out/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;for the final time.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1258.  
  1259.  
  1260.  
  1261. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ozzy-osbourne/&quot;&gt;Ozzy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;has had a number&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;health&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;issues over the years which have prevented him going back out on tour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1262.  
  1263.  
  1264.  
  1265. &lt;p&gt;They will &lt;span&gt;play on home turf &amp;#8211; Villa Park in&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/birmingham/&quot;&gt;Birmingham&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; as part of the Back To The Beginning festival.&lt;/p&gt;
  1266.  
  1267.  
  1268.  
  1269. &lt;p&gt;Along with Ozzy, the show will reunite the original band members – Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – for the first time in 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  1270.  
  1271.  
  1272.  
  1273. &lt;p&gt;Speaking about the final gig, Ozzy candidly said: &amp;#8220;I’ll be there, and I’ll do the best I can. So all I can do is turn up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1274.  
  1275.  
  1276.  
  1277. &lt;p&gt;The gig will also feature sets from other huge heavy metal bands, including Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera.&lt;/p&gt;
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281. &lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33215299/ozzy-osbourne-health-final-concert-sharon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ozzy’s poor &lt;span id=&quot;f21b6e1c-577a-42c8-912d-9e86653d0bda&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;health&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;means he won’t be able to play a full set.&lt;/p&gt;
  1282.  
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We’re only playing a couple of songs each.&lt;/p&gt;
  1286.  
  1287.  
  1288.  
  1289. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don’t want people thinking ‘we’re getting ripped off’, because it’s just going to be … what’s the word? … a sample, you’re going to get a few songs each by Ozzy and Sabbath.”&lt;/p&gt;

  1458.  
  1459.  
  1460.  
  1461. &lt;p&gt;From June 25, &lt;span id=&quot;c8f0de98-0259-4e1c-b450-d9d9697da6ae&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nationwide&lt;/span&gt;, pizza fans can get a free large pizza every Wednesday when you spend £15 exclusively via the Pizza Hut app.&lt;/p&gt;
  1462.  
  1463.  
  1464.  
  1465. &lt;p&gt;The incredible offer is valid for delivery and collection orders placed through the app.&lt;/p&gt;
  1466.  
  1467.  
  1468.  
  1469. &lt;p&gt;It excludes dine-in and aggregator platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
  1470.  
  1471.  
  1472.  
  1473. &lt;p&gt;Jana Ulaite, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut UK &amp;amp;I, said: &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re super excited to introduce Hut Wednesdays as the UK’s new midweek ritual by giving away free pizza. &lt;/p&gt;
  1474.  
  1475.  
  1476.  
  1477. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We invite you to live it large &amp;amp; bring good times to those midweek blues. &lt;/p&gt;
  1478.  
  1479.  
  1480.  
  1481. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why wait for the weekend when you can live it large every Wednesday instead?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  1482.  
  1483.  
  1484.  
  1485. &lt;p&gt;Pizza Hut first arrived in the UK in 1973 and quickly became a favourite with diners.&lt;/p&gt;
  1486.  
  1487.  
  1488.  
  1489. &lt;p&gt;At its height, the chain operated over 260 restaurants&amp;nbsp;nationwide, employing 10,000 staff and welcoming three million customers each month.&lt;/p&gt;
  1490.  
  1491.  
  1492.  
  1493. &lt;p&gt;Some of its most notable creations include the introduction of the pan pizza in 1980, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21245505/air-fryer-stuffed-crust-pizza/&quot;&gt;stuffed crust&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 1995, and the re-launch of the pan pizza as the grand pan in 1998.&lt;/p&gt;
  1494.  
  1495.  
  1496.  
  1497. &lt;p&gt;Pan pizzas are baked in a deep, oil-coated dish, giving the crust a deliciously crispy, golden edge and a lightly fried texture on the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;

  1521. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile a little-known pizza chain is quietly expanding &amp;#8211; with four new locations set to open across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  1522.  
  1523.  
  1524.  
  1525. &lt;p&gt;Pizza Pilgrims, founded in 2012 by brothers James and Thom Elliot, is fast approaching 29 sites nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;
  1526.  
  1527.  
  1528.  
  1529. &lt;p&gt;Already well-established in King’s Cross, &lt;span id=&quot;58c4d7d6-6c21-4acb-8478-006ca5472927&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt;, the company is now expanding to major cities including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/birmingham/&quot;&gt;Birmingham&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bristol/&quot;&gt;Bristol&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1530.  
  1531.  
  1532.  
  1533. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Birmingham&amp;nbsp;branch will open in the busy Grand Central&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/transport/&quot;&gt;transport&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;hub at New Street station.&lt;/p&gt;
  1534.  
  1535.  
  1536.  
  1537. &lt;p&gt;Manchester’s new pizzeria will span two floors in Deansgate, featuring a Masterclass kitchen like the one in Canary Wharf.&lt;/p&gt;
  1538.  
  1539.  
  1540.  
  1541. &lt;p&gt;Pizza Pilgrims reported record revenue of £34.4m for the year ending June 2024 &amp;#8211; a 20 percent increase on the previous year’s £28.7 million.&lt;/p&gt;
  1542.  
  1543.  
  1544.  
  1545. &lt;p&gt;It comes as Domino&amp;#8217;s confirmed it had&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35536524/dominos-axed-popular-pizza/&quot;&gt;axed a handful of its popular pizzas&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from its UK menus.&lt;/p&gt;

  1553. &lt;p&gt;The Plant-Based American Hot, Plant-Based Peppy-roni and Plant-Based Chick&amp;#8217;n Winner have been discontinued.&lt;/p&gt;

  1564. TAKEAWAYS taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on your delivery: &lt;/p&gt;
  1566. &lt;div&gt;
  1567. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cashback websites&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8211; TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your takeaway through them. They&amp;#8217;re paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you&amp;#8217;ll get cashback on orders placed through them.&lt;/p&gt;
  1568. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discount codes&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order.&lt;/p&gt;
  1569. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy it from the shops&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Okay, it might not taste exactly the same but you&amp;#8217;ll save the most money by picking up your favourite dish from your local supermarket. &lt;/p&gt;
  1570. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Student discounts&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; If you&amp;#8217;re in full-time education or a member of the National Students Union then you may be able to get a discount of up to 15 per cent off the bill. It&amp;#8217;s always worth asking before you place your order.&lt;/p&gt;
  1571. &lt;/div&gt;
  1572. &lt;/div&gt;

  1610. &lt;p&gt;Filling a 55-litre family car now costs £73.78 for petrol, up £1.06, and £77.67 for diesel, an increase of £1.55, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rac/page/2/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;RAC&lt;/a&gt; figures revealed.&lt;/p&gt;
  1611.  
  1612.  
  1613.  
  1614. &lt;p&gt;Supermarket fuel prices rose slightly less, with petrol priced at 130.26p and diesel at 136.67p.&lt;/p&gt;
  1615.  
  1616.  
  1617.  
  1618. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/northern-ireland/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Northern Ireland&lt;/a&gt; remains the cheapest region, with unleaded at 128p and diesel at 134p.&lt;/p&gt;
  1619.  
  1620.  
  1621.  
  1622. &lt;p&gt;The surge follows &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35514305/us-stealth-bombers-iran-israel-trump/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tensions in the Middle East&lt;/a&gt;, which pushed oil prices from $64 to $79 per barrel last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  1623.  
  1624.  
  1625.  
  1626. &lt;p&gt;Although oil prices have dropped back to $67, costs at the pump remain high.&lt;/p&gt;
  1627.  
  1628.  
  1629.  
  1630. &lt;p&gt;RAC spokesman Simon Williams criticised retailers for raising prices quickly despite falling wholesale costs.&lt;/p&gt;
  1631.  
  1632.  
  1633.  
  1634. &lt;p&gt;He said: “July will be a telling month — will retailers stop raising prices or even cut them?&lt;/p&gt;
  1635.  
  1636.  
  1637.  
  1638. &lt;p&gt;“Or will drivers be stuck paying more for the foreseeable future?”&lt;/p&gt;
  1639.  
  1640.  
  1641.  
  1642. &lt;p&gt;The Competition and Markets Authority recently blamed weak competition and high retailer margins for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;inflated costs.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1643.  
  1644.  
  1645.  
  1646. &lt;p&gt;While prices remain far below record highs from 2022, fuel remains a major expense.&lt;/p&gt;
  1647.  
  1648.  
  1649.  
  1650. &lt;p&gt;The RAC hopes a Government-backed Fuel Finder scheme later this year will help drivers secure fairer deals.&lt;/p&gt;

  1686. &lt;p&gt;CURRYS reported a 37 per cent jump in pre-tax profits to £162million for the year ending May 3 — driven by strong UK sales.&lt;/p&gt;
  1687. &lt;p&gt;Group sales of the tech products chain rose 3 per cent to £8.7billion with UK sales up 6 per cent, boosted by growth of its iD Mobile network and AI-related gadgets.&lt;/p&gt;

  1705.

  1725. &lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P Global UK Services Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to 52.8 from 50.9 in May.&lt;/p&gt;
  1726. &lt;p&gt;A score above 50 indicates growth. &lt;/p&gt;
  1727. &lt;p&gt;Tim Moore, economics director at S&amp;amp;P Global, said the rebound reflects improved business and consumer spending after a sluggish spring.&lt;/p&gt;

  1758. &lt;p&gt;FOR 57 years, Tony Iommi has been Black Sabbath’s keeper of the flame.&lt;/p&gt;
  1759.  
  1760.  
  1761.  
  1762. &lt;p&gt;He is “Master Of The Riffs” — some say he invented heavy metal — and he is the only band member to stay the course.&lt;/p&gt;

  1771.  
  1772.  
  1773.  
  1774. &lt;p&gt;“Everybody else has come and gone and come back,” the guitarist tells me in his soft &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/birmingham/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Brummie&lt;/a&gt; tones. “I’ve been the constant one.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1775.  
  1776.  
  1777.  
  1778. &lt;p&gt;Talking to the affable Iommi, 77, it’s hard to imagine that he’s responsible for some of rock’s darkest, dirtiest, most bone-crunching riffs.&lt;/p&gt;
  1779.  
  1780.  
  1781.  
  1782. &lt;p&gt;Tomorrow, he and the rest of the original line-up face &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35584268/black-sabbath-final-show-singer-pulls-out/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;their final curtain.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1783.  
  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786. &lt;p&gt;It’s our last chance to hear Paranoid, War Pigs and Iron Man performed live by the four &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/music/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;musicians&lt;/a&gt; who created them.&lt;/p&gt;
  1787.  
  1788.  
  1789.  
  1790. &lt;p&gt;No doubt all eyes will be on the singer, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ozzy-osbourne/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the “Prince Of Darkness” &lt;/a&gt;himself.&lt;/p&gt;
  1791.  
  1792.  
  1793.  
  1794. &lt;p&gt;Despite complaining to me recently that he has enough health issues “to fill a medical dictionary”, Ozzy Osbourne is set to give his hometown of Birmingham a hellraising last hurrah.&lt;/p&gt;
  1795.  
  1796.  
  1797.  
  1798. &lt;p&gt;But let’s not forget that the Back To The Beginning extravaganza at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/villa-park/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Villa Park&lt;/a&gt; also marks the end of a journey for bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward — and Iommi.&lt;/p&gt;
  1799.  
  1800.  
  1801.  
  1802. &lt;p&gt;Sabbath are held in highest esteem by the bands that followed in their wake, hence an incredible supporting cast.&lt;/p&gt;
  1803.  
  1804.  
  1805.  
  1806. &lt;p&gt;With Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello serving as musical director, there’s a blizzard of metal titans paying their dues.&lt;/p&gt;
  1807.  
  1808.  
  1809.  
  1810. &lt;p&gt;Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Sammy, Hagar, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Duff McKagan and Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit) — the list goes on.&lt;/p&gt;

  1835.  
  1836.  
  1837.  
  1838. &lt;p&gt;“They’ve come from everywhere to be a part of something. This is a real one-off.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1839.  
  1840.  
  1841.  
  1842. &lt;p&gt;Iommi is particularly chuffed that his old mucker Ward, who he first met at Birchfield Road School, is back in the Sabbath fold for the first time since 2005.&lt;/p&gt;

  1859. &lt;p&gt;“Bill and I were in a couple of bands before Sabbath,” he says, “and that’s when we went round to Ozzy’s house looking for a singer. It was how it all started.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1860.  
  1861.  
  1862.  
  1863. &lt;p&gt;Seeing that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/festivals-music-tours/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;gig&lt;/a&gt; is called Back To The Beginning, I ask Iommi to sift through the mists of time to describe how the band came together.&lt;/p&gt;
  1864.  
  1865.  
  1866.  
  1867. &lt;p&gt;He begins by giving me his first impressions of Ozzy before moving on to Geezer.&lt;/p&gt;
  1868.  
  1869.  
  1870.  
  1871. &lt;p&gt;“At school, I didn’t even know that Ozzy could sing,” he says. “It was a racket at first, I must say, but after we’d been playing for a while, he got really good.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1872.  
  1873.  
  1874.  
  1875. &lt;p&gt;As for the singer’s madcap behaviour, Iommi adds: “He got more loony as we went on. In the early days, we’d be on this little stage at a club or somewhere and we had this thing between us.&lt;/p&gt;
  1876.  
  1877.  
  1878.  
  1879. &lt;p&gt;“If I broke a string, I’d shout to Ozzy, ‘Organise a raffle, organise a raffle!’ which meant, ‘Talk to the audience’.&lt;/p&gt;
  1880.  
  1881.  
  1882.  
  1883. &lt;p&gt;“He wasn’t very good at that in the early days, he didn’t know what to say.&lt;/p&gt;
  1884.  
  1885.  
  1886.  
  1887. &lt;p&gt;“But he got more and more confident and, eventually, he became like he is — very out front.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1888.  
  1889.  
  1890.  
  1891. &lt;p&gt;Iommi moves on to Geezer and says: “Before Sabbath, Bill and I used to play these all-nighters at a place in Birmingham.&lt;/p&gt;
  1892.  
  1893.  
  1894.  
  1895. &lt;p&gt;“I always remember seeing Geezer there, crawling up walls because of the drugs they were on in those days.&lt;/p&gt;
  1896.  
  1897.  
  1898.  
  1899. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘I made my fingertips’&lt;/h2&gt;
  1900.  
  1901.  
  1902.  
  1903. &lt;p&gt;“Me and Bill used to think, ‘Blimey, he’s mad, that guy’. Of course, when we got together with him, we realised he was very, very sensible.&lt;/p&gt;
  1904.  
  1905.  
  1906.  
  1907. &lt;p&gt;“Geezer had never played bass before — he was a guitar player ­— but it was amazing how quickly he picked it up.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1908.  
  1909.  
  1910.  
  1911. &lt;p&gt;So what about Iommi himself? “Originally, I wanted to play drums,” he replies, “but because of where we lived with my parents, you couldn’t get a drum kit in the house. It was so small.&lt;/p&gt;
  1912.  
  1913.  
  1914.  
  1915. &lt;p&gt;“My mother bought me a guitar, one of these cheap £20 ones from a catalogue, and I sat in my room learning to play. I really enjoyed it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1916.  
  1917.  
  1918.  
  1919. &lt;p&gt;Then he adds with a self-deprecating chuckle: “And I’m still trying to learn to play the guitar!”&lt;/p&gt;
  1920.  
  1921.  
  1922.  
  1923. &lt;p&gt;This was the early Sixties when one band in particular caught Iommi’s ear — The Shadows led by his guitar hero Hank Marvin.&lt;/p&gt;
  1924.  
  1925.  
  1926.

  1931. &lt;p&gt;“I used to listen to the Top 20 on my little radio,” he says.&lt;/p&gt;
  1932.  
  1933.  
  1934.  
  1935. &lt;p&gt;“The Shadows really inspired me because I loved their sound and style.&lt;/p&gt;
  1936.  
  1937.  
  1938.  
  1939. &lt;p&gt;“They were an instrumental band and it was great because I had something to learn and to relate to. Then I could go off and do my own thing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1940.

  1953.  
  1954.  
  1955.  
  1956. &lt;p&gt;Iommi was also shaped by his tough upbringing in Aston. &lt;/p&gt;
  1957.  
  1958.  
  1959.  
  1960. &lt;p&gt;Of the neighbourhood where he lived, he says: “It was rough and gang infested. You had to be careful walking round the streets because you’d get beaten up if you were in the wrong area.&lt;/p&gt;
  1961.  
  1962.  
  1963.  
  1964. &lt;p&gt;“I started doing martial arts — judo and karate — purely to protect myself,” he continues.&lt;/p&gt;
  1965.  
  1966.  
  1967.  
  1968. &lt;p&gt;“I went training three or four times a week.&lt;/p&gt;
  1969.  
  1970.  
  1971.  
  1972. &lt;p&gt;“I thought that I’d become involved in the scene in some way and I didn’t expect to become a musician.”&lt;/p&gt;
  1973.  
  1974.  
  1975.  
  1976. &lt;p&gt;Iommi recalls having “a dream of being on a stage, look-ing out, I always thought it was to do with martial arts but, of course, it wasn’t. I later realised it was about being on stage playing guitar”.&lt;/p&gt;
  1977.  
  1978.  
  1979.  
  1980. &lt;p&gt;At 17, he had a horrific industrial accident which would have a profound effect on Black Sabbath’s signature heavy guitar sound.&lt;/p&gt;
  1981.  
  1982.  
  1983.  
  1984. &lt;p&gt;While operating a guillotine press in a sheet-metal factory, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers on his right hand.&lt;/p&gt;
  1985.  
  1986.  
  1987.  
  1988. &lt;p&gt;He says: “I went to the hospital and they said, ‘You might as well forget playing the guitar’.&lt;/p&gt;
  1989.  
  1990.  
  1991.  
  1992. &lt;p&gt;“I just couldn’t accept that attitude so I made my own fingertips with thimbles. I had to come up with a totally different way of playing.&lt;/p&gt;
  1993.  
  1994.  
  1995.  
  1996. &lt;p&gt;“I also worked on the guitar all the time. I had it in bits and put it back together, trying to make it more comfortable to play.&lt;/p&gt;
  1997.  
  1998.  
  1999.  
  2000. &lt;p&gt;“Eventually, that extended to experimenting with amplifiers, making a sound that would be more full.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2001.  
  2002.  
  2003.  
  2004. &lt;p&gt;By the time Sabbath, originally known as Earth, got together in 1968, Iommi was on a mission to make a success of it despite financial hardships.&lt;/p&gt;
  2005.  
  2006.  
  2007.  
  2008. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35690044&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1970-top-pops-performance-taken-1007320190.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Black Sabbath performing on Top of the Pops in 1970.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35690044&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;519&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Black Sabbath&amp;#8217;s Top Of The Pops performance[/caption]
  2009.  
  2010.  
  2011.  
  2012. &lt;p&gt;“Oh God, I drove the bloody van!” he exclaims. “Unloaded the gear, played, drove back.&lt;/p&gt;
  2013.  
  2014.  
  2015.  
  2016. &lt;p&gt;“We were hard up. We might make 15 quid and, on our way home, stop off and spend it all at a fish and chip shop.&lt;/p&gt;
  2017.  
  2018.  
  2019.  
  2020. &lt;p&gt;“But it was great because we started from nothing and we went through the whole thing together.&lt;/p&gt;
  2021.  
  2022.  
  2023.  
  2024. &lt;p&gt;“We became glued to each other, we lived in each other’s pockets, and it really made us a band.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2025.  
  2026.  
  2027.  
  2028. &lt;p&gt;Iommi continues: “The name was Geezer’s idea after he watched a Boris Karloff film called Black Sabbath. It was appropriate for our music and it stuck.&lt;/p&gt;
  2029.  
  2030.  
  2031.  
  2032. &lt;p&gt;“When we were Earth, we got misbooked because they thought we were a pop band. We absolutely died a death!”&lt;/p&gt;
  2033.  
  2034.  
  2035.  
  2036. &lt;p&gt;An all-important step for Sabbath, like any up-and- coming act, was getting a record deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  2037.  
  2038.  
  2039.  
  2040. &lt;p&gt;Iommi remembers how it happened: “We used to play at a club in Birmingham where Jim Simpson, who became our first manager, would get people to come down and see us.&lt;/p&gt;
  2041.  
  2042.  
  2043.  
  2044. &lt;p&gt;“Of course 99 per cent of them said ‘no’ and one per cent said ‘yes’. We were playing something different. In those days, it was all soul, not our kind of music.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2045.  
  2046.  
  2047.  
  2048. &lt;p&gt;The self-titled debut album contains the song Black Sabbath which bears Iommi’s first great riff. &lt;/p&gt;
  2049.  
  2050.  
  2051.  
  2052. &lt;p&gt;He regards it as their breakthrough moment.&lt;/p&gt;
  2053.  
  2054.  
  2055.  
  2056. &lt;p&gt;“That track hit home,” he says. “It was so different and we knew straight away, ‘That’s it, that’s what we want to do, that’s the benchmark’.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2057.  
  2058.  
  2059.  
  2060. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;‘Screaming girls’&lt;/h2&gt;
  2061.  
  2062.  
  2063.  
  2064. &lt;p&gt;Iommi took on a lot of the responsibility at the time, getting the others out of bed and into the studio by 9am.&lt;/p&gt;
  2065.  
  2066.  
  2067.  
  2068. &lt;p&gt;“Everybody needs somebody to direct them,” he affirms. “Otherwise it turns into chaos.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2069.  
  2070.  
  2071.  
  2072. &lt;p&gt;That first album, now regarded as a trailblazing triumph, landed to lukewarm reviews but it didn’t deter Iommi and his bandmates.&lt;/p&gt;
  2073.  
  2074.  
  2075.  
  2076. &lt;!--googleoff: all--&gt;

  2079. &lt;p&gt;I always remember somebody — I won’t mention his name — came to review us. He left unknown to us and we DIDN’T play, but he still reviewed the show. What does that tell you?&lt;/p&gt;
  2080. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  2086.  
  2087.  
  2088.  
  2089. &lt;p&gt;“Of course, you never want a bad review but you have to believe in what you do,” he says.&lt;/p&gt;
  2090.  
  2091.  
  2092.  
  2093. &lt;p&gt;“If we did get a reasonably good review, we’d bloody faint, but we never lost that belief and that’s what made us stronger.&lt;/p&gt;
  2094.  
  2095.  
  2096.  
  2097. &lt;p&gt;“I always remember somebody — I won’t mention his name — came to review us. He left unknown to us and we DIDN’T play, but he still reviewed the show. What does that tell you?”&lt;/p&gt;
  2098.  
  2099.  
  2100.  
  2101. &lt;p&gt;Next came the album which propelled Sabbath to the stratosphere, Paranoid, with its iconic three-minute adrenaline rush of a title track.&lt;/p&gt;
  2102.  
  2103.  
  2104.  
  2105. &lt;p&gt;Iommi says: “We never went to the States with the first album but Paranoid opened up America for us.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2106.  
  2107.  
  2108.  
  2109. &lt;p&gt;And yet the song itself was almost an afterthought, as he explains.&lt;/p&gt;
  2110.  
  2111.  
  2112.  
  2113. &lt;p&gt;“When we were finishing the album, we went out to get something to eat.&lt;/p&gt;
  2114.  
  2115.  
  2116.  
  2117. &lt;p&gt;“The producer came out and said to me, ‘We need another track. We haven’t got enough tracks’. So I had to come up with Paranoid. I waited for the others to come back and played it to them.&lt;/p&gt;
  2118.  
  2119.  
  2120.  
  2121. &lt;p&gt;“Geezer wrote some lyrics, the guys learnt the song and we recorded it there and then.&lt;/p&gt;
  2122.  
  2123.  
  2124.  
  2125. &lt;p&gt;“It was supposed to be filler but it was the one that took off — and we ended up on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25296620/top-of-the-pops-famous-moments-secrets-anniversary/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Top Of The Pops&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2126.  
  2127.  
  2128.  
  2129. &lt;p&gt;Appearing on the UK’s premier pop showcase went against everything Sabbath stood for in their quest “to be an album band taken seriously for our music”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2130.  
  2131.  
  2132.  
  2133. &lt;p&gt;Iommi says: “It was funny. You’ve got people like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cilla-black/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cilla Black&lt;/a&gt; and then us. Bloody odd combination, it was!&lt;/p&gt;
  2134.  
  2135.  
  2136.  
  2137. &lt;p&gt;“And the last thing we wanted to do was attract screaming girls.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2138.  
  2139.  
  2140.  
  2141. &lt;p&gt;After Paranoid, Sabbath were on a roll, producing a string of high-octane, high-quality albums — Master Of Reality (1971), Vol.4 (1972), Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) and Sabotage (1975).&lt;/p&gt;
  2142.  
  2143.  
  2144.  
  2145. &lt;p&gt;“For each album, we tried different things,” says Iommi. “On Master Of Reality, I started tuning down a bit to get an even heavier sound.&lt;/p&gt;
  2146.  
  2147.  
  2148.  
  2149. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35690047&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1970-top-pops-performance-taken-1007316480.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Black Sabbath performing on Top of the Pops in 1970.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35690047&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;516&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Appearing on the UK’s premier pop showcase went against everything Sabbath stood for in their quest &amp;#8216;to be an album band taken seriously for their music&amp;#8217;[/caption]
  2150.  
  2151.  
  2152.  
  2153. &lt;p&gt;“The whole vibe on Vol. 4 was great. We went to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/los-angeles/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt; where John du Pont was unfortunate enough to rent us his house.&lt;/p&gt;
  2154.  
  2155.  
  2156.  
  2157. &lt;p&gt;“It was a fantastic place with a ballroom, swimming pools and, God, did we have some fun.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2158.  
  2159.  
  2160.  
  2161. &lt;p&gt;It was only after ten years in the business that the wheels started to fall off for Sabbath, resulting in Ozzy’s exit.&lt;/p&gt;
  2162.  
  2163.  
  2164.  
  2165. &lt;p&gt;“Obviously, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt; were involved,” says Iommi. “It got to a stage where Ozzy had lost interest. He’d go missing for a couple of days in Los Angeles — things like that.&lt;/p&gt;
  2166.  
  2167.  
  2168.  
  2169. &lt;p&gt;“I was nominated to go to the record company and make all the excuses. We were coming up with riffs but it just wasn’t going anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
  2170.  
  2171.  
  2172.  
  2173. &lt;p&gt;“It got to a point where I had to say, ‘Look, we’ll have to replace Ozzy or break up’. At the time, it was best for both of us and Ozzy went off and did his own thing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2174.  
  2175.  
  2176.  
  2177. &lt;p&gt;Sabbath regrouped with Ronnie James Dio taking over on lead vocals, the first of a succession of singers.&lt;/p&gt;
  2178.  
  2179.  
  2180.  
  2181. &lt;p&gt;Then, in the late Nineties, the original Sabbath reformed and toured until 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
  2182.  
  2183.  
  2184.  
  2185. &lt;p&gt;Minus drummer Ward, they got back together for the Rick Rubin-produced 13 (released in 2013) and played live again until 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  2186.  
  2187.  
  2188.  
  2189. &lt;p&gt;Now, eight years on, Sabbath are making their last stand.&lt;/p&gt;
  2190.  
  2191.  
  2192.  
  2193. &lt;p&gt;They’ve all had well-documented health issues but Iommi and Ozzy see the funny side.&lt;/p&gt;
  2194.  
  2195.  
  2196.  
  2197. &lt;p&gt;Ozzy even called himself “Iron Man” after surgeons inserted bolts in his neck following a fall at his home in the outskirts of Los Angeles&lt;/p&gt;
  2198.  
  2199.  
  2200.  
  2201. &lt;p&gt;“He should be called the Six Million Dollar Man,” laughs Iommi. “I hear from him every few days and we complain to each other.&lt;/p&gt;
  2202.  
  2203.  
  2204.  
  2205. &lt;p&gt;“We’ve all had problems so it’s quite an achievement for us to get on stage again after so many years.&lt;/p&gt;
  2206.  
  2207.  
  2208.  
  2209. &lt;p&gt;“We’ll do the gig – then we’ll probably keel over!”&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  2234. &lt;p&gt;AN ICONIC nightclub which has hosted stars such as Rod Stewart and Stormzy is set to shut for good in just days. &lt;/p&gt;
  2235.  
  2236.  
  2237.  
  2238. &lt;p&gt;It marks the end of an era as the popular &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/universities/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;student&lt;/a&gt; hotspot and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/music/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;concert&lt;/a&gt; venue will close its doors for the last time after more than 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;

  2246. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Pryzm Kingston&lt;/a&gt;, which has hosted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/stormzy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Stormzy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rod-stewart/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Rod Stewart&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/billie-eilish/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Billie Eilish&lt;/a&gt; will officially close this month.&lt;/p&gt;
  2247.  
  2248.  
  2249.  
  2250. &lt;p&gt;The club closed its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dance-music/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;disco&lt;/a&gt; room at 3.30am on June 28, but will welcome party-goers for one final night in the main room on July 12.&lt;/p&gt;
  2251.  
  2252.  
  2253.  
  2254. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for the club said earlier this week: &amp;#8220;Pryzm is closing its doors for the final time on Saturday July 12 at 3.30am. &lt;/p&gt;
  2255.  
  2256.  
  2257.  
  2258. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has stepped through our doors over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
  2259.  
  2260.  
  2261.  
  2262. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Whether you came for a dance, poured a few drinks or had a spin on the decks, we&amp;#8217;ve loved every minute of creating memories with you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2263.  
  2264.  
  2265.  
  2266. &lt;p&gt;The venue has been a popular &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dance-music/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;nightlife&lt;/a&gt; hotspot for more than 20 years but the party isn&amp;#8217;t over just yet. &lt;/p&gt;
  2267.  
  2268.  
  2269.  
  2270. &lt;p&gt;The nightclub&amp;#8217;s owners, Neos Hospitality, has other plans for the space, submitting plans to convert the Grade II listed building into two new venues.&lt;/p&gt;
  2271.  
  2272.  
  2273.  
  2274. &lt;p&gt;There will be a &amp;#8220;party bar&amp;#8221; on the ground floor, known as Bonnie Rogues, in addition to a new nightclub on the first and second floors called Circuit.&lt;/p&gt;
  2275.  
  2276.  
  2277.  
  2278. &lt;p&gt;Neos also want the spaces to continue Pryzm&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/festivals-music-tours/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;live music&lt;/a&gt; legacy.&lt;/p&gt;
  2279.  
  2280.  
  2281.  
  2282. &lt;p&gt;The origins of the venue stretch back to 1939 when it was first built and known as the Granada Theatre.&lt;/p&gt;

  2306. &lt;p&gt;Following a building renovation it became a nightclub called Oceana in 2003 before it was rebranded as Pryzm in 2014. &lt;/p&gt;
  2307.  
  2308.  
  2309.  
  2310. &lt;p&gt;Russell Quelch, the CEO of Neos,&amp;nbsp;said they want the site to continue being a night out favourite for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Londoners&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2311.  
  2312.  
  2313.  
  2314. &lt;p&gt;He added:&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8220;Thousands of people have made memories that will last them a lifetime, from over 20 years of amazing nights out at&amp;nbsp;PRYZM&amp;nbsp;and Oceana before it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2315.  
  2316.  
  2317.  
  2318. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The closure is the end of a long running chapter for the Kingston club scene, but it’s time to look to the future and reimagine what this site could hold, in a fresh new look at nightlife for next generation of UK party lovers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2319.  
  2320.  
  2321.  
  2322. &lt;p&gt;Neos bought club from previous owners Rekom UK &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25673750/rekom-pryzm-nightclub-store-closures/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;after they went bust in 2024&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2323.  
  2324.  
  2325.  
  2326. &lt;p&gt;At the time, Rekom had announced they were closing more than a dozen venues with immediate effect after plunging into administration. &lt;/p&gt;
  2327.  
  2328.  
  2329.  
  2330. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/business/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;company&lt;/a&gt; cited &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cost of living&lt;/a&gt; pressures and rising business rates and operational costs for the closures. &lt;/p&gt;
  2331.  
  2332.  
  2333.  
  2334. &lt;p&gt;But 11 of their sites were sold and remained open under new owners which included Kingston&amp;#8217;s PRYZM.&lt;/p&gt;
  2335.  
  2336.  
  2337.  
  2338. &lt;p&gt;The UK nightclub industry was hit hard by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/a&gt; and the cost of living crisis, with many other venues closing in recent years.&lt;/p&gt;
  2339.  
  2340.  
  2341.  
  2342. &lt;p&gt;High energy costs have crippled businesses and soaring &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt; has seen punters cutting back on nights out.&lt;/p&gt;
  2343.  
  2344.  
  2345.  
  2346. &lt;p&gt;According to the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA), there has been a 32.7 per cent decline in activity since 2020.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  2371.

  2382.  
  2383.  
  2384.  
  2385. &lt;p&gt;Jenny will be performing a special singalong comedy investigation all about Swedish pop group Abba.&lt;/p&gt;
  2386.  
  2387.  
  2388.  
  2389. &lt;p&gt;The descriptions says she will go &amp;#8220;public with her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2390.  
  2391.  
  2392.  
  2393. &lt;p&gt;Tickets are usually priced around £15, but a number of tickets have been released for her July 5 show for no cost at all.&lt;/p&gt;
  2394.  
  2395.  
  2396.  
  2397. &lt;p&gt;Fans can bag themselves a free ticket to her one-hour show and will only need to pay a £4 admin fee.&lt;/p&gt;
  2398.  
  2399.  
  2400.  
  2401. &lt;p&gt;While those keen to be in the audience can also purchase a ticket for a little as £10, as stated on the website, depending on the day you go. &lt;/p&gt;
  2402.  
  2403.  
  2404.  
  2405. &lt;p&gt;Although fans may be able to secure themselves a bargain, a show insider said it&amp;#8217;s not highly unusual that free tickets are given away.&lt;/p&gt;
  2406.  
  2407.  
  2408.  
  2409. &lt;p&gt;A rep for the show told The Sun: &amp;#8220;Often in hot weather for preview shows, if they&amp;#8217;re not completely sold out, it is standard practice to offer some complimentary tickets.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2410.  
  2411.  
  2412.  
  2413. &lt;p&gt;Jenny will be previewing her brand new show, Björn Yesterday on Saturday. &lt;/p&gt;
  2414.  
  2415.  
  2416.  
  2417. &lt;p&gt;Jenny, known to many as The Vixen from The Chase, surprised fans last year as she embarked on a new adventure.&lt;/p&gt;
  2418.  
  2419.  
  2420.  
  2421. &lt;p&gt;Jenny hit the road last September with her Out of the Box tour, which ran until November.&lt;/p&gt;

  2445. &lt;p&gt;At the time she shared her excitement and nerves about stepping away from her stern quizmaster persona with the new venture.&lt;/p&gt;
  2446.  
  2447.  
  2448.  
  2449. &lt;p&gt;Speaking to show host &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ed-balls/&quot;&gt;Ed Balls&lt;/a&gt; on GMB, Jenny explained: &amp;#8220;We took the show to Edinburgh Fringe last year really on sort of a whim.&lt;/p&gt;
  2450.  
  2451.  
  2452.  
  2453. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a big risk to take something like this, as presenters know, after a stern role and you try something new.&lt;/p&gt;
  2454.  
  2455.  
  2456.  
  2457. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a bit of a challenge for people to change their expectations and perceptions of you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  2458.  
  2459.  
  2460.  
  2461. &lt;p&gt;The former MP joked &amp;#8220;Tell me about it!&amp;#8221;, referencing his segue from a political career into presenting.&lt;/p&gt;
  2462.

  2465. &lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/ranvir-singh/&quot;&gt;Ranvir Singh&lt;/a&gt; suggested that Jenny might find it difficult to return to The Chase after opening up to audiences, she said: &amp;#8220;Putting myself out there to show a softer side of me, putting everything out there, my background, everything… was a bit of a risk.&lt;/p&gt;
  2466.  
  2467.  
  2468.  
  2469. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But we sold out [at the Fringe] and we got such excellent feedback.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  2481. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  2482. The Chase first premiered on ITV back in 2009 and has become a firm favourite among viewers since then. The roster of professional quizzers (&amp;#039;chasers&amp;#039;) has grown significantly since the show&amp;#039;s launch. &lt;/p&gt;
  2484. &lt;div&gt;

  2519. &lt;p&gt;GEORGE RUSSELL claims he is all set to sign a new ­Mercedes deal, silencing speculation he could be dumped for Max Verstappen.&lt;/p&gt;
  2520.  
  2521.  
  2522.  
  2523. &lt;p&gt;The Brit, 27, is out of contract next year and his boss &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/toto-wolff/&quot;&gt;Toto Wolff&lt;/a&gt; confirmed in Austria he had held talks with four-time world champion Verstappen about a move.&lt;/p&gt;

  2535. &lt;p&gt;But SunSport understands a new offer will be presented to Russell before next month’s Belgian Grand Prix.&lt;/p&gt;
  2536.  
  2537.  
  2538.  
  2539. &lt;p&gt;Russell believes that team-mate Kimi Antonelli would be the driver to make way for Verstappen in the unlikely event that the Dutchman is to leave Red Bull for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/mercedes/&quot;&gt;Mercedes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  2540.  
  2541.  
  2542.  
  2543. &lt;p&gt;Ahead of Sunday’s British &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp/&quot;&gt;GP&lt;/a&gt; at Silverstone, Russell said: “I want to continue with Mercedes into the future. Toto has never let me down, has always given me his word.&lt;/p&gt;
  2544.  
  2545.  
  2546.  
  2547. &lt;p&gt;“He’s also got to do what’s right for his team, which includes me and the thousands of people who work for Mercedes.&lt;/p&gt;
  2548.  
  2549.  
  2550.  
  2551. &lt;p&gt;“For me it’s nothing to worry about, as I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere, and whoever my team-mate is doesn’t concern me either, so I’ll just focus on the driving.&lt;/p&gt;
  2552.  
  2553.  
  2554.  
  2555. &lt;p&gt;“It’ll happen when the time is right. I expect in the next couple of weeks. But we’ll need to wait and see.&lt;/p&gt;
  2556.  
  2557.  
  2558.  
  2559. &lt;p&gt;“There hasn’t been a lack of interest, let’s say. But I’ve been focused on my side, I am loyal to Mercedes.&lt;/p&gt;
  2560.  
  2561.  
  2562.  
  2563. &lt;p&gt;“The likelihood I’m not at Mercedes next year is exceptionally low.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2564.

  2568.  
  2569.  
  2570.  
  2571. &lt;p&gt;There had been talk of Verstappen taking a year out from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/f1/&quot;&gt;F1&lt;/a&gt;, as well as being linked with Mercedes and Aston Martin.&lt;/p&gt;

  2646.  
  2647.  
  2648.  
  2649. &lt;p&gt;Focus will be pulled out of expensive &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/34593045/hospitals-nurses-health-wes-streeting-nhs/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hospitals&lt;/a&gt; and into community health clinics, at-home care and online booking and chat systems.&lt;/p&gt;
  2650.  
  2651.  
  2652.  
  2653. &lt;p&gt;Experts hailed their ambitions but warned the changes will take time and money, and that similar plans had failed.&lt;/p&gt;
  2654.  
  2655.  
  2656.  
  2657. &lt;p&gt;Sir Keir said: “We need to make the NHS fit for the future with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/a&gt; that is available to us now.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2658.  
  2659.  
  2660.  
  2661. &lt;p&gt;The 168-page plan said the NHS must stop being a “technological laggard” and “make the move from bricks to clicks”.&lt;/p&gt;
  2662.  
  2663.  
  2664.  
  2665. &lt;p&gt;Sir Keir added: “Entire industries have reorganised around apps — retail, transport, finance, weather — why not the NHS?&lt;/p&gt;
  2666.  
  2667.  
  2668.  
  2669. &lt;p&gt;“It will be like having a doctor in your pocket, providing you with 24-hour advice, seven days a week.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2670.  
  2671.  
  2672.  
  2673. &lt;p&gt;Health Secretary Mr Streeting said: “People will feel the change over the course of this Parliament and of course this is also a plan for the decade.&lt;/p&gt;
  2674.  
  2675.  
  2676.  
  2677. &lt;p&gt;“We know the change in our plan is possible because it&amp;#8217;s already happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  2678.  
  2679.  
  2680.  
  2681. &lt;p&gt;“We toured the length and breadth of the country and scouted the world for the best examples of reform.&lt;/p&gt;
  2682.  
  2683.  
  2684.  
  2685. &lt;p&gt;“We will take the best of the NHS to the rest of the NHS.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2724. &lt;p&gt;He vowed to make them available from the NHS online, in pharmacies or in shopping centres as part of his ten-year health plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  2725. &lt;p&gt;Mr Streeting said: “Weight-loss jabs are the talk of the House of Commons. Half my colleagues are on them and are judging the rest of us saying, ‘You lot should be on them’.&lt;/p&gt;
  2726. &lt;p&gt;“I’m bringing to weight loss jabs the principle of fairness. They should be available based on need and not the ability to pay.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2727. &lt;p&gt;They cost up to £200 a month, bought at chemists.&lt;/p&gt;

  2812. &lt;p&gt;NIGEL Farage has a “horrible feeling” that killer nurse Lucy Letby might have been a “very convenient scapegoat” and should be retried.&lt;/p&gt;
  2813.  
  2814.  
  2815.  
  2816. &lt;p&gt;The Reform leader said there were “serious questions” about the case which have left him with increasing doubts over her conviction in recent months.&lt;/p&gt;

  2833.  
  2834.  
  2835.  
  2836. &lt;p&gt;She was also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28863495/lucy-letby-guilty-attempted-murder-baby-killer-nurse/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;found guilty&lt;/a&gt; of trying to kill seven others during her time at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35644075/lucy-letby-cops-arrest-hospital-leaders/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Countess of Chester hospital.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2837.  
  2838.  
  2839.  
  2840. &lt;p&gt;Letby, 35, has always maintained her innocence and her conviction in 2023 has since been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/29879352/lucy-letby-innocent-nurse-or-conniving-angel-of-death/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;scrutinised by some medical experts.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2841.  
  2842.  
  2843.  
  2844. &lt;p&gt;It includes a panel of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33201600/top-doc-letby-innocent-retirement-shoo-lee/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;doctors led by Dr Shoo Lee&lt;/a&gt; who says the prosecution misinterpreted his evidence on how air embolisms could lead to discolouration of a baby’s skin.&lt;/p&gt;
  2845.  
  2846.  
  2847.  
  2848. &lt;p&gt;Several politicians have since expressed scepticism over the initial verdict, including Reform leader &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nigel-farage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mr Farage.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2849.  
  2850.  
  2851.  
  2852. &lt;p&gt;Revealing why he &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35686984/nigel-farage-interview-politics-prime-minister/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;waded into the debate&lt;/a&gt;, he told The Sun: “I think, as a political thought leader, it is quite right to ask questions.&lt;/p&gt;
  2853.  
  2854.  
  2855.  
  2856. &lt;p&gt;“And I haven&amp;#8217;t come out unequivocally on this, but I increasingly think that the argument for a retrial is very strong.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2857.  
  2858.  
  2859.  
  2860. &lt;p&gt;“The argument that it should be looked at again is very strong. If you look at what&amp;#8217;s happened with the neonatal units, not just in Chester, but we could look at East Kent, we could look at two or three others, where the rates of baby death have been too high.&lt;/p&gt;
  2861.  
  2862.  
  2863.  
  2864. &lt;p&gt;“I just have this horrible feeling that she might have been a very convenient scapegoat.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2865.  
  2866.  
  2867.  
  2868. &lt;p&gt;Mr Farage highlighted that since 1970 there have been 500 miscarriages of justice in Britain and he “fears this could be another one.”&lt;/p&gt;

  2892. &lt;p&gt;He added: “I’m not saying Lucy Letby is innocent, I&amp;#8217;m not saying it&amp;#8217;s all made up.&lt;/p&gt;
  2893.  
  2894.

  2903.  
  2904. &lt;p&gt;“We, since Magna Carta all those years ago, have had more faith in our judicial system than any other European country. Maybe even overall any other country in the world. And I think the Letby case raises serious questions.”&lt;/p&gt;
  2905.  
  2906.

  2925.  
  2926.  
  2927.  
  2928. &lt;p&gt;Instead the cops said the arrests related to the decision-making of the senior leadership team in the hospital during the time of the killings.&lt;/p&gt;

  3022.  
  3023.  
  3024.

  3085. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  3086. Bobby Brazier has risen through the ranks to become a well known face on British TV. &lt;/p&gt;
  3088. &lt;div&gt;
  3089. &lt;p&gt;As the son of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jade-goody/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jade Goody&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jeff-brazier/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jeff Brazier&lt;/a&gt;, he has been well-known amongst the public from a young age. &lt;/p&gt;
  3090. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/bobby-brazier/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bobby&lt;/a&gt; first embarked on a showbiz career when he was just 16-years old when he started modelling. &lt;/p&gt;
  3091. &lt;p&gt;The star made his catwalk debut in 2020 at Milan Fashion Week, but it wasn&amp;#8217;t long before he had his eyes on a TV career. &lt;/p&gt;
  3092. &lt;p&gt;He shot to prominence in 2022 when he was cast as Freddie Slater in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/eastenders/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;EastEnders&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  3093. &lt;p&gt;The incredibly acting skills displayed on screen earned him the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-television-awards/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;National Television Award&lt;/a&gt; in the &amp;#8216;Rising Star&amp;#8217; category.&lt;/p&gt;
  3094. &lt;p&gt;His famous dad was in tears as Bobby accepted the award on stage in front of the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/holly-willoughby/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Holly Willoughby&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/alison-hammond/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alison Hammond.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  3095. &lt;p&gt;It wasn&amp;#8217;t long before BBC bosses wanted him to take part in the 21st series of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/strictly-come-dancing/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Strictly Come Dancing&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  3096. &lt;p&gt;He clearly impressed the viewers with his dancing skills as he made the grand final and was a runner-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  3097. &lt;p&gt;Since then, viewers were delighted when he returned to his role in the long-running &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc-one/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBC One&lt;/a&gt; soap. &lt;/p&gt;
  3098. &lt;/div&gt;

  3100. &lt;/div&gt;
  3102.  
  3103.  
  3104.  
  3105. &lt;p&gt;“The timing of the decision worked for both, but his final scenes are not for a while yet.&lt;/p&gt;
  3106.  
  3107.  
  3108.  
  3109. &lt;p&gt;“The character has had a great run, but the time is now right for Bobby to look for other opportunities, and for &lt;span id=&quot;7aab9411-8d26-4ea4-af87-b77f538b8ac3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;EastEnders&lt;/span&gt; to wave goodbye to Freddie Slater.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3388. &lt;p&gt;NEAL SKUPSKI found out his beloved grandmother died minutes after his opening Wimbledon win.&lt;/p&gt;
  3389.  
  3390.  
  3391.  
  3392. &lt;p&gt;Britain’s leading doubles star, 35, and partner Joe Salisbury fought hard to beat fellow Brits Joshua Paris and Charles Broom 6-3 5-7 6-4 in round one of the men’s doubles competition.&lt;/p&gt;

  3397.  
  3398.  
  3399.  
  3400. &lt;p&gt;Once he stepped off Court 8, the bad news was relayed to him by close family members that his 98-year-old granny Mary – who had been ill for a while and was in hospital – had passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  3401.  
  3402.  
  3403.  
  3404. &lt;p&gt;It had already been a difficult day for Skupski, a big Liverpool fan, given the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675487/diogo-jota-death-updates-car-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tragic death of Diogo Jota&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3405.  
  3406.  
  3407.  
  3408. &lt;p&gt;Skupski, 2023 Wimbledon men&amp;#8217;s doubles champion, said: “I have just found out that my nan passed today. So, it has been a very tough day.&lt;/p&gt;
  3409.  
  3410.  
  3411.  
  3412. &lt;p&gt;“I found out once I came off court. About 30 minutes ago. She was 98. She was a fighter. Had been ill for a little bit of time.&lt;/p&gt;
  3413.  
  3414.  
  3415.  
  3416. &lt;p&gt;“She didn’t die out of the blue. I have been able to come to terms with it. She was coming to the end. It’s part of life. It will be a tough few days for my family.&lt;/p&gt;
  3417.  
  3418.  
  3419.  
  3420. &lt;p&gt;“We had known it was a matter of time for a few days now. It was tough to find out when I’d come off court. But I will be okay.&lt;/p&gt;
  3421.  
  3422.  
  3423.  
  3424. &lt;p&gt;“She would want me to be here. She would be proud of what happened and how we fought.&lt;/p&gt;
  3425.  
  3426.  
  3427.  
  3428. &lt;p&gt;“Maybe my mood has changed a bit coming up to these Championships. I’m probably quite bubbly on the practice courts, with good energy.&lt;/p&gt;
  3429.  
  3430.  
  3431.  
  3432. &lt;p&gt;“Maybe the team had thought and seen I was not myself. People like my brother and coach, he spoke to some of the coaches, he maybe told them the situation. It’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; now, it’s my job.&lt;/p&gt;
  3433.  
  3434.  
  3435.  
  3436. &lt;p&gt;“She would have wanted me to have fought. We are here and want to win the whole thing. Being on the court will take my mind off it.&lt;/p&gt;

  3465.

  3467.  
  3468. &lt;p&gt;Skupski – who had been to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196659/liverpool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; training HQ and even played padel there – is considering donning one for his next appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
  3469.  
  3470.  
  3471.  
  3472. &lt;p&gt;The three-time Wimbledon doubles champion said: “It’s been a tough day for Liverpool fans. I found out this morning that Jota had passed away.&lt;/p&gt;
  3473.  
  3474.  
  3475.  
  3476. &lt;p&gt;“A bit strange this morning. You’re on Twitter and see a headline about Jota in Spanish. But it’s along the lines of ‘accident’ and it’s in black-and-white.&lt;/p&gt;
  3477.  
  3478.  
  3479.  
  3480. &lt;p&gt;“Has he actually died? You think your heroes or sportsmen or people you look up to, they’re invincible.&lt;/p&gt;

  3555. &lt;p&gt;AT THIS time of year, with the transfer market abuzz, there is a tendency to view elite footballers as commodities.&lt;/p&gt;
  3556.  
  3557.  
  3558.  
  3559. &lt;p&gt;Their price-tags, fees, resale values and contract lengths are discussed by us all with the casual air of stockbrokers observing the gilt markets.&lt;/p&gt;

  3568.  
  3569.  
  3570.  
  3571. &lt;p&gt;And then on a sunny morning in early July, chilling news arrived from Spain which made all of that talk sound so trivial, so brutal, so cold.&lt;/p&gt;
  3572.  
  3573.  
  3574.  
  3575. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/diogo-jota/&quot;&gt;Diogo Jota&lt;/a&gt; — newly wed to Rute Cardoso, his childhood sweetheart and mother of his three children — &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675514/diogo-jota-dead-liverpool-star-dies-car-crash/&quot;&gt;was dead at 28&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3576.  
  3577.  
  3578.  
  3579. &lt;p&gt;Jota was a freshly crowned champion of England with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool&lt;/a&gt; and a mainstay of the Portugal team who had just won the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nations-league/&quot;&gt;Nations League&lt;/a&gt; again and are rated as dark horses for next summer’s World Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  3580.  
  3581.  
  3582.  
  3583. &lt;p&gt;But above all Jota was a human being, as fragile as the rest of us.&lt;/p&gt;
  3584.  
  3585.  
  3586.  
  3587. &lt;p&gt;A husband, a father, a son and a brother to Andre Silva — the 25-year-old fellow professional footballer who perished with him yesterday &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35687906/diogo-jota-funeral/&quot;&gt;when a tyre blew and his Lamborghini burst into flames.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3588.  
  3589.  
  3590.  
  3591. &lt;p&gt;Jota was at the peak of his powers and in the prime of his life — married for just 11 days, he had &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675502/liverpool-diogo-jota-death-wedding-car-crash/&quot;&gt;posted footage of his wedding on social media just hours before his death.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3592.  
  3593.  
  3594.  
  3595. &lt;p&gt;The poignance was agonising; the grief of those left behind unimaginable.&lt;/p&gt;
  3596.  
  3597.  
  3598.  
  3599. &lt;p&gt;When the news of Jota’s death broke, it was a warm, sun-drenched summer’s morning in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  3612.  
  3613.  
  3614.  
  3615. &lt;p&gt;The All England Club was opening up its gates for day four on Wimbledon’s lawns, the cricketers of England and India were preparing for the second day of the Second Test at Edgbaston and transfer speculation was fizzing around online.&lt;/p&gt;
  3616.  
  3617.  
  3618.  
  3619. &lt;p&gt;Then, suddenly, the world of sport froze.&lt;/p&gt;

  3642.  
  3643. &lt;p&gt;For while sport is the most important of unimportant things, we all know at heart that it is nothing more than a joyful distraction from that which truly matters.&lt;/p&gt;
  3644.  
  3645.  
  3646.  
  3647. &lt;p&gt;At Anfield, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35676012/diogo-jota-dead-car-crash-liverpool-portuguese-fa-statement/&quot;&gt;masses of floral tributes were left and warm respects paid&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3648.  
  3649.  
  3650.  
  3651. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool is a club which has sadly experienced tragedy too often before and which honours those lost with a fierce, protective pride. &lt;/p&gt;
  3652.  
  3653.  
  3654.  
  3655. &lt;p&gt;At Anfield, Jota will never be forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;
  3656.  
  3657.  
  3658.  
  3659. &lt;p&gt;Few &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; clubs cherish their heroes quite as warmly and Jota the Slotter, the clinical finisher with that extraordinary burst of pace, was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35687699/arne-slot-tribute-diogo-jota-death-liverpool/&quot;&gt;one of the best of Arne Slot’s champions.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3660.  
  3661.  
  3662.  
  3663. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes, while watching the Reds, you could forget that Jota was on the pitch. Then, with a sudden acceleration and a thrust of the boot, he had won them the match.&lt;/p&gt;
  3664.  
  3665.  
  3666.  
  3667. &lt;p&gt;He so often proved the matchwinner when arriving from the bench, in the Anfield supersub traditions of David Fairclough and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/divock-origi/&quot;&gt;Divock Origi&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3668.  
  3669.  
  3670.  
  3671. &lt;p&gt;But as a deep-lying centre-forward or from the left wing, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35678474/cristiano-ronaldo-tribute-diogo-jota-death/&quot;&gt;he was an integral part of the squad built by Jurgen Klopp&lt;/a&gt;, and honed by Slot, which won the title by a country mile last season.&lt;/p&gt;
  3672.  
  3673.  
  3674.  
  3675. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KS_GRAPHIC_JOTA_CAREERv3_77ae06.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=872&quot; alt=&quot;Illustration of Diogo Jota's career statistics, including games played and goals scored for various clubs and the national team.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35680082&quot; width=&quot;872&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;
  3676.  
  3677.  
  3678.  
  3679. &lt;p&gt;Jota scored the first goal of the Slot era in a 2-0 opening-day victory at Ipswich and the last time he netted was the winner in the Merseyside derby in April.&lt;/p&gt;
  3680.  
  3681.  
  3682.  
  3683. &lt;p&gt;A little over a month ago, he cavorted on the Anfield pitch when Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy.&lt;/p&gt;
  3684.  
  3685.  
  3686.  
  3687. &lt;p&gt;Jota, capped 49 times by his country, was not the star of his club or international teams. Those were Mo Salah and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cristiano-ronaldo/&quot;&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  3688.  
  3689.  
  3690.  
  3691. &lt;p&gt;Yet football’s Galacticos do not win trophies without the versatility and selfless work-rate of players like Jota.&lt;/p&gt;
  3692.  
  3693.  
  3694.  
  3695. &lt;p&gt;Still, his record of 65 goals in 182 appearances for the Reds was extraordinary for a player who was not a regular starter.&lt;/p&gt;
  3696.  
  3697.  
  3698.  
  3699. &lt;p&gt;In five seasons, he won every major domestic honour and played in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/champions-league/&quot;&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt; final, against Real Madrid in 2022, which Liverpool were unfortunate to lose 1-0.&lt;/p&gt;
  3700.  
  3701.  
  3702.  
  3703. &lt;p&gt;After spells with Pacos de Ferreira and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/2974521/fc-porto/&quot;&gt;Porto&lt;/a&gt; in his home town, Jota arrived in England at Wolves, on loan from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1362333/atletico-madrid/&quot;&gt;Atletico Madrid&lt;/a&gt;, and helped to propel Nuno Espirito Santo’s team from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/championship/&quot;&gt;Championship&lt;/a&gt; to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/europa-league/&quot;&gt;Europa League&lt;/a&gt; in three seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  3704.  
  3705.  
  3706.  
  3707. &lt;p&gt;At Molineux, his loss was also deeply felt by a club where he was “adored and cherished”.&lt;/p&gt;
  3708.  
  3709.  
  3710.  
  3711. &lt;p&gt;Yet this year had represented his peak, as a footballer and as a man.&lt;/p&gt;
  3712.  
  3713.  
  3714.  
  3715. &lt;p&gt;In the space of a month Jota won major honours with Liverpool and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196725/portugal/&quot;&gt;Portugal&lt;/a&gt;, then married his girlfriend of 12 years — the couple posing before the altar of a church in Porto with their two sons and baby daughter less than a fortnight ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  3716.  
  3717.  
  3718.  
  3719. &lt;p&gt;“I’m the lucky one,” Jota had posted on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  3720.  
  3721.  
  3722.  
  3723. &lt;p&gt;How heartbreaking those words read now. How fragile we are.&lt;/p&gt;
  3724.

  3768. &lt;p&gt;THE number of entry-level jobs suitable for school and college leavers has dropped dramatically.&lt;/p&gt;
  3769.  
  3770.  
  3771.  
  3772. &lt;p&gt;They have plunged by almost a third since &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/chatgpt/&quot;&gt;ChatGPT&lt;/a&gt; was launched in November 2022, as more firms begin to use &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/artificial-intelligence/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;AI&lt;/a&gt; for basic tasks.&lt;/p&gt;

  3777.  
  3778.  
  3779.  
  3780. &lt;p&gt;Already, almost a million young people aged under 25 are categorised as being &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34088689/uk-town-third-brits-jobless-benefits/&quot;&gt;NEETs — not in employment, education or training.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3781.  
  3782.  
  3783.  
  3784. &lt;p&gt;But while firms complain of a skills shortage, unlocking the potential of jobless youngsters could plug the gap and turbocharge &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-economy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;economic&lt;/a&gt; growth.&lt;/p&gt;
  3785.  
  3786.  
  3787.  
  3788. &lt;p&gt;Youth Employment Week begins on Monday and will see charities, social enterprises and youth workers come together to highlight the enormous potential of the UK’s younger generation.&lt;/p&gt;
  3789.  
  3790.  
  3791.  
  3792. &lt;p&gt;Here are some of the best to help you . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  3793.  
  3794.  
  3795.  
  3796. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MOVEMENT TO WORK&lt;/strong&gt; is a not-for-profit coalition of major UK employers aiming to break the “no work experience, no work” cycle.&lt;/p&gt;
  3797.  
  3798.  
  3799.  
  3800. &lt;p&gt;Employers including Accenture, BAE Systems, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/Barclays&quot;&gt;Barclays&lt;/a&gt;, Centrica, Diageo, Marriott, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/marks-spencer/&quot;&gt;M&amp;amp;S&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesco&quot;&gt;Tesco&lt;/a&gt; and Salesforce have signed up to offer work experience to NEETs. &lt;/p&gt;
  3801.  
  3802.  
  3803.  
  3804. &lt;p&gt;Applicants do not need formal qualifications.&lt;/p&gt;
  3805.  
  3806.  
  3807.  
  3808. &lt;p&gt;After Brandon Tattersall lost his job at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/currys&quot;&gt;Currys&lt;/a&gt; he was out of work for 16 months.&lt;/p&gt;
  3809.  
  3810.  
  3811.  
  3812. &lt;p&gt;But with help from his social worker, he secured a placement at BAE Systems through Movement to Work and was offered a job with the firm. Now 26, Brandon is an HR data analyst.&lt;/p&gt;
  3813.  
  3814.  
  3815.  
  3816. &lt;p&gt;He said: “The programme didn’t just offer a placement — it gave me the skills and interview practice needed to feel prepared for future applications and gain the real work experience employers ask for.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3840. &lt;p&gt;Movement to Work CEO Sareena Bains said: “In the face of rising youth unemployment and economic inactivity, removing barriers to work has never been more critical.” &lt;/p&gt;

  3848. &lt;p&gt;As a dad at the age of 14 and a grandfather at 35, Alex Hughes has faced struggles in his life.&lt;/p&gt;
  3849.  
  3850.  
  3851.  
  3852. &lt;p&gt;But he is now one of the country’s leading social entrepreneurs, running youth work placement specialists INSPIRE2IGNITE.CO.UK.&lt;/p&gt;
  3853.  
  3854.  
  3855.  
  3856. &lt;p&gt;Alex said: “I would love to see society treat young people as contributors, not problems to fix. &lt;/p&gt;
  3857.  
  3858.  
  3859.  
  3860. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We need to stop seeing youth unemployment as a charity issue and start treating it like a national economic priority.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3861.  
  3862.  
  3863.  
  3864. &lt;p&gt;Through targeted careers coaching and locally focused work experience, Alex has helped 10,000 young people into jobs, training and community work in Cambridgeshire and he has plans to roll out the programme across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  3865.  
  3866.  
  3867.  
  3868. &lt;p&gt;He is also calling for employers to recognise what many NEET people have experienced. &lt;/p&gt;
  3869.  
  3870.  
  3871.  
  3872. &lt;p&gt;He added: “If someone’s navigated homelessness, debt, care or trauma, they have the resilience and resourcefulness many employers want.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3873.  
  3874.  
  3875.  
  3876. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOUTH EMPLOYMENT&lt;/strong&gt; UK offers careers advice and free online training for young people, including virtual work experience with big-name companies.&lt;/p&gt;
  3877.  
  3878.  
  3879.  
  3880. &lt;p&gt;There is also local support and the chance to explore individual employers.&lt;/p&gt;

  3900. &lt;p&gt;UNEMPLOYED and feeling out of luck? Here are Alex Hughes’ top tips to help . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  3901. &lt;p&gt;1. You are not the problem. The system is messy, and it often makes you feel like you are failing. You just haven’t found your space yet.&lt;/p&gt;
  3902. &lt;p&gt; 2. Find your people. Surround yourself with those who listen and look out for you. Whether it is a youth group, a mentor or a local hub. Community changes everything.&lt;/p&gt;
  3903. &lt;p&gt;3. Try something that feels too small to matter. A one-day event. A volunteer role. Saying yes to a random opportunity. That tiny move might be your big unlock. Just consider how this experience will help you develop yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
  3904. &lt;p&gt;4. Turn rejection into redirection. Every “no” is fuel. Take it as a sign you are trying and that means you are already further than most.&lt;/p&gt;
  3905. &lt;p&gt;5. Ask for help, loudly or quietly. There are people and places who are built to back you. Don’t suffer in silence. You are not alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  3906. &lt;p&gt;6. Dream big then take one step. You don’t need a ten-year plan. You need a reason to get out of bed this week. One step is enough. Then another. Then another.&lt;/p&gt;
  3907. &lt;/div&gt;
  3908. &lt;/div&gt;
  3909. &lt;/div&gt;
  3911.  
  3912.  
  3913.  
  3914. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;‘ROLE AT GP SURGERY HAS BOOSTED MY FINANCIAL HEALTH’&lt;/h2&gt;
  3915.  
  3916.  
  3917.  
  3918. &lt;p&gt;WHEN you are young with a learning &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disability/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;disability&lt;/a&gt; or autism, finding a job can be even more challenging.&lt;/p&gt;
  3919.  
  3920.  
  3921.  
  3922. &lt;p&gt;But supported internships are proving one of the most effective ways for people to show off their skills to potential employers.&lt;/p&gt;
  3923.  
  3924.  
  3925.  
  3926. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35688106&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 730px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/juned-ali-sunemployment-1007060983.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=720&quot; alt=&quot;Portrait of Juned Ali.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35688106&quot; width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Supplied&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;DFN Project SEARCH is a charity that has helped young people like Juned Ali[/caption]
  3927.  
  3928.  
  3929.  
  3930. &lt;p&gt;DFN Project SEARCH is a charity that helped more than 4,500 young people gain work experience last year, with structured study programmes for school and college leavers aged 16 to 24.&lt;/p&gt;
  3931.  
  3932.  
  3933.  
  3934. &lt;p&gt;The national charity works with young people who have an Education, Health and Care Plan.&lt;/p&gt;
  3935.  
  3936.  
  3937.  
  3938. &lt;p&gt;It aims to increase the employment rate for youngsters with special educational needs and disabilities, with 63 per cent of trainees going on to employment.&lt;/p&gt;
  3939.  
  3940.  
  3941.  
  3942. &lt;p&gt;One of the programme’s top success stories is Juned Ali, from London.&lt;/p&gt;
  3943.  
  3944.  
  3945.  
  3946. &lt;p&gt;Juned, who has a mild learning disability, did a placement at Queen Mary University of London.&lt;/p&gt;
  3947.  
  3948.  
  3949.  
  3950. &lt;p&gt;He now has a role as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/gp-doctors-surgeries/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;GP’s&lt;/a&gt; co-ordinator and administrative assistant.&lt;/p&gt;
  3951.  
  3952.  
  3953.  
  3954. &lt;p&gt;He said: “DFN Project SEARCH has completely changed my life. At first, my mum was reluctant about me starting the supported internship, but when she saw how well I was doing, she was proud.&lt;/p&gt;
  3955.  
  3956.  
  3957.  
  3958. &lt;p&gt;“Now, I earn my own money. I don’t have to ask my family for things, like I did when I was younger. I can just go out and get it. I kick-started my career from the age of 18, and I’m thriving.&lt;/p&gt;
  3959.  
  3960.  
  3961.  
  3962. &lt;p&gt;“I’m 20 years old, and my goal is to keep progressing in my career, work towards higher roles and, someday, get married.”&lt;/p&gt;
  3963.  
  3964.  
  3965.  
  3966. &lt;p&gt;Kirsty Matthews, CEO of DFN Project SEARCH, said: “We see young adults with a learning disability, who are autistic, or both, demonstrate their talents and capabilities every day.”&lt;/p&gt;

  3991.  
  3992.  
  3993. &lt;p&gt;“HOLIDAY hoarding” is a growing issue, as two thirds of staff now fail to take half their annual leave by the middle of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  3994.  
  3995.  
  3996.  
  3997. &lt;p&gt;HR experts have designated this week as the peak for burnout, with staff becoming ill through lack of time off.&lt;/p&gt;

  4005. &lt;p&gt;Charlie O’Brien, of Breathe HR, shares her advice for tacking holiday hoarding.&lt;/p&gt;
  4006.  
  4007.  
  4008.  
  4009. &lt;p&gt;1. Reflect on why you are holiday hoarding. Are you leaving it late when it comes to booking holidays? &lt;/p&gt;
  4010.  
  4011.  
  4012.  
  4013. &lt;p&gt;Is your workload preventing you from taking a break? Or are you worried about what your employer might think if you take all your leave? &lt;/p&gt;
  4014.  
  4015.  
  4016.  
  4017. &lt;p&gt;If it is a workplace culture or workload issue, talk to your manager. We are all entitled to take our holiday and our employer should not make us feel guilty about doing so.&lt;/p&gt;
  4018.  
  4019.  
  4020.  
  4021. &lt;p&gt;2. Book time off – even if you don’t end up going away. We need regular breaks from work to give us time to relax, reset, and show up as our best selves at work.&lt;/p&gt;
  4022.  
  4023.  
  4024.  
  4025. &lt;p&gt;3. Make a plan to “holiday hack”. Maximising annual leave is really important. Be savvy about when you book leave, and plan ahead to spread your holidays through the year. Look at least a year ahead and make the most of the bank holidays to stretch your leave even further.&lt;/p&gt;
  4026.  
  4027.  
  4028.  
  4029. &lt;p&gt;4. Try microbreaks. Getting the dates booked is the first step to holding yourself accountable and giving yourself permission to take the regular breaks from work you are entitled to.&lt;/p&gt;
  4030.  
  4031.  
  4032.  
  4033. &lt;p&gt;5. Assess why you are carrying over holiday to the next year. It’s fine if it is planned, but it shouldn’t be happening by accident.&lt;/p&gt;
  4034.  
  4035.  
  4036.  
  4037. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  4038. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  4039. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Cost of teenage try-outs&lt;/h3&gt;
  4040. &lt;/div&gt;
  4041. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  4044. &lt;div&gt;
  4045. &lt;p&gt;A LACK of money is holding back millions of young people from accessing work experience, research says.&lt;/p&gt;
  4046. &lt;p&gt;The AAT study reveals 41 per cent of 14 to 18-year-olds have less than £8 per day to spend on work experience-related costs such as travel, food and suitable clothing.&lt;/p&gt;
  4047. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, almost a third of employers say increased operational and staffing costs are affecting their ability to pay work experience students or cover expenses.&lt;/p&gt;
  4048. &lt;p&gt;To help, AAT has teamed up with Springpod to launch virtual work experience into the sought-after accountancy sector.&lt;/p&gt;
  4049. &lt;p&gt;AAT boss Sarah Beale said: “Too many young people are locked out of early career experiences simply because they don’t have the opportunities or right connections.&lt;/p&gt;
  4050. &lt;p&gt;“That’s a clear barrier to social mobility, and one we are determined to break down.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4051. &lt;p&gt;Apply for work experience at springpod.aat.org.uk.&lt;/p&gt;
  4052. &lt;/div&gt;
  4053. &lt;/div&gt;
  4054. &lt;/div&gt;
  4056.  
  4057.  
  4058.

  4119.  
  4120.  
  4121.  
  4122. &lt;p&gt;The aim of the game is for the Islanders to fly through the city, pair up with their Lois Lanes, and then lift and hold a steel girder overhead before picking up a newspaper with a headline. &lt;/p&gt;
  4123.  
  4124.  
  4125.  
  4126. &lt;p&gt;Together, the pairs had to decide which of the male Islanders they think have the most and least of that trait.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4127.  
  4128.  
  4129.  
  4130. &lt;p&gt;Yasmin and Gio choose Dejon as the least dedicated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  4131.  
  4132.  
  4133.  
  4134. &lt;p&gt;Yasmin explained her reasoning: “I don’t feel like you’ve dedicated yourself fully to the whole experience. &lt;/p&gt;
  4135.  
  4136.  
  4137.  
  4138. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I hope you’ve only dedicated to getting to know one person…”&lt;/p&gt;
  4139.  
  4140.  
  4141.  
  4142. &lt;p&gt;Dejon remarked:&amp;nbsp;“I didn’t know when all of a sudden it’s become a problem wanting one woman.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4143.  
  4144.  
  4145.  
  4146. &lt;p&gt;Yasmin continued:&amp;nbsp;“There’s other girls in here like Billykiss who picked you to go on a date because she was obviously attracted to you…”&lt;/p&gt;
  4147.  
  4148.  
  4149.  
  4150. &lt;p&gt;Meg interjects:&amp;nbsp;“Well he clearly doesn’t want her.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4151.  
  4152.  
  4153.  
  4154. &lt;p&gt;Billykiss:&amp;nbsp;“Well he didn’t say that. He didn&amp;#8217;t say he didn&amp;#8217;t want me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4155.  
  4156.  
  4157.  
  4158. &lt;p&gt;Meg hit back: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not up to you guys, we will decide ourselves.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  4182. &lt;p&gt;She then said to Dejon:&amp;nbsp;“You say you’re open then when she’s not around you don’t act like you’re closed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4183.  
  4184.  
  4185.  
  4186. &lt;p&gt;Dejon reacted:&amp;nbsp;“I don&amp;#8217;t care about any of your opinions, I know what I want and that&amp;#8217;s Meg.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4187.  
  4188.  
  4189.  
  4190. &lt;p&gt;Billykiss replied: &amp;#8220;Well close things off, even on the date when I asked if you were open and you wanted to get to know me, you said yes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4191.  
  4192.  
  4193.  
  4194. &lt;p&gt;Dejon fired back: &amp;#8220;Please Billykiss, is this like your five minutes of TV or what? &lt;/p&gt;
  4195.  
  4196.  
  4197.  
  4198. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don’t understand why you’re still going on.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4199.  
  4200.  
  4201.  
  4202. &lt;p&gt;After some choice words between her and Meg, the exchange ended with Billykiss told Dejon:&amp;nbsp;“You don’t want to hear the truth which is why you’re feeling sour.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4203.  
  4204.  
  4205.  
  4206. &lt;p&gt;Viewers were full of praise for Billykiss as she finally delivered some home truths to Meg and Dejon.&lt;/p&gt;
  4207.  
  4208.  
  4209.  
  4210. &lt;p&gt;One wrote: &amp;#8220;PLEASE WE NEED TO VOTE MEG AND DEJON OFF PLEASE!!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4211.  
  4212.  
  4213.  
  4214. &lt;p&gt;A second posted: &amp;#8220;Meg stfu and leave the villa, don’t bring your bitchy attitude to billykiss she’s only saying what everyone thinks.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4215.  
  4216.  
  4217.  
  4218. &lt;p&gt;A third said: &amp;#8220;They’re clocking Dejon it’s been a month, he’s not closing things off with Meg and has his tongue out whenever a new bombshell comes in. Game player.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4219.  
  4220.  
  4221.  
  4222. &lt;p&gt;A fourth commented: &amp;#8220;Close it then Dejon!! Like she needs to close her big mouth when kissing you. You don’t want her and you know it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  4223.  
  4224.

  4286. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-draper/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Draper&lt;/a&gt;, 23, said: “I’m very frustrated. Obviously, really upset.

  4291.  
  4292.  
  4293.  
  4294. &lt;p&gt;“It’s highlighted to me this year that I really struggled on the grass in all honesty.&lt;/p&gt;
  4295.  
  4296.  
  4297.  
  4298. &lt;p&gt;“I felt great on the hard and clay. There weren’t many holes in my game – whereas as soon as I came onto the grass, I felt a big difference.&lt;/p&gt;
  4299.  
  4300.  
  4301.  
  4302. &lt;p&gt;“It’s just something I’ve got to keep in mind, how I’m going to develop my game for the long-term for next year. Just to get better as a player.&lt;/p&gt;
  4303.  
  4304.  
  4305.  
  4306. &lt;p&gt;“For sure, it highlighted a lot of weaknesses in my game.&lt;/p&gt;
  4307.  
  4308.  
  4309.  
  4310. &lt;p&gt;“I mean it makes me think that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35659210/andy-murray-split-wife-kim-ferrari-wimbledon-police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Andy’s achievement of what he did&lt;/a&gt;, winning here twice, just unbelievable.&lt;/p&gt;

  4315.  
  4316.  
  4317.  
  4318. &lt;p&gt;“It’s not the pressure. I just didn’t play good enough. I lost to a better player.&lt;/p&gt;
  4319.

  4418.  
  4419. &lt;p&gt;THIS is the chilling moment a gunman wearing a high-vis jacket shoots dead a dad-of-three. &lt;/p&gt;
  4420.  
  4421.  
  4422.  
  4423. &lt;p&gt;A jury was shown CCTV footage revealing Lenny Scott&amp;#8217;s last moments before he was killed outside a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/lancashire/&quot;&gt;Lancashire&lt;/a&gt; gym on February 8 last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  4424.

  4434.  
  4435. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35689897&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 390px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/former-prison-officer-lenny-scott-1005693313_b2e453.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=380&quot; alt=&quot;Photo of Lenny Scott, a former prison officer.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35689897&quot; width=&quot;380&quot; height=&quot;499&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;MEN Media&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Lenny was fatally shot in the head and body[/caption]
  4436.  
  4437.  
  4438.  
  4439. &lt;p&gt;The haunting clip shows the 33-year-old leaving the building, in Skelmersdale, at around 7.30pm. &lt;/p&gt;
  4440.  
  4441.  
  4442.  
  4443. &lt;p&gt;He walks out with four others, who make their way to a car parked outside. &lt;/p&gt;
  4444.  
  4445.  
  4446.  
  4447. &lt;p&gt;Ex-prison guard Lenny stays behind for a few moments chatting to his pal, as a man wearing a high-vis jacket advances in the back ground.&lt;/p&gt;
  4448.  
  4449.  
  4450.  
  4451. &lt;p&gt;The attacker briefly hangs back behind a car before approaching Lenny and calmly raising his gun. &lt;/p&gt;
  4452.  
  4453.  
  4454.  
  4455. &lt;p&gt;As the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/topic/cctv/&quot;&gt;CCTV &lt;/a&gt;cuts off, six shots can be heard, and the gunman flees on an electric bike to a getaway van nearby.&lt;/p&gt;
  4456.  
  4457.  
  4458.  
  4459. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutors allege Elias Morgan, 35, of Liverpool, was the shooter.&lt;/p&gt;
  4460.  
  4461.  
  4462.  
  4463. &lt;p&gt;They also argue Anthony Cleary, 29, was the getaway driver inside the white Vauxhall Combo &amp;#8211; previously registered to a cleaning company run by Morgan&amp;#8217;s brother Ezra Morgan.&lt;/p&gt;
  4464.  
  4465.  
  4466.  
  4467. &lt;p&gt;The pair are both on trial for murder, which the prosecution argue was fuelled by revenge after Lenny exposed his affair with a female prison guard. &lt;/p&gt;
  4468.  
  4469.  
  4470.  
  4471. &lt;p&gt;Lenny had confiscated a phone which contained evidence of the lag&amp;#8217;s relationship with prison officer Sarah Williams.&lt;/p&gt;
  4472.  
  4473.  
  4474.  
  4475. &lt;p&gt;Alex Leach KC, prosecuting, told the jury evidence &amp;#8220;presented a powerful image&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  4476.  
  4477.  
  4478.  
  4479. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One in which Elias Morgan, driven by a desire for revenge and reliant on Anthony Cleary for his assistance, planned and executed the murder of Lenny Scott,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  4480.  
  4481.  
  4482.  
  4483. &lt;p&gt;The court heard how before the horror, Mr Morgan had allegedly driven to Darfield estate, a site not too far from the murder scene. &lt;/p&gt;
  4484.  
  4485.  
  4486.

  4496.  
  4497.  
  4498.  
  4499. &lt;p&gt;He travelled there in a Mercedes GLC car which had previously been insured in his mother&amp;#8217;s name, the court heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  4500.  
  4501.  
  4502.  
  4503. &lt;p&gt;Mr Leach told the jury the car arrived at 5.48pm.&lt;/p&gt;
  4504.  
  4505.  
  4506.  
  4507. &lt;p&gt;CCTV revealed a figure walking from Darfield to nearby Daybrook estate, where the van had been parked about 40 minutes earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
  4508.  
  4509.  
  4510.  
  4511. &lt;p&gt;The jury heard at 6.06pm, footage showed the bike doing a &amp;#8220;dry run&amp;#8221; to the gym and back to the estate.&lt;/p&gt;
  4512.  
  4513.  
  4514.  
  4515. &lt;p&gt;The gunman returned to the car park at 6.48pm, where he waited for Lenny to exit the gym.&lt;/p&gt;
  4516.  
  4517.  
  4518.  
  4519. &lt;p&gt;The trial continues.&lt;/p&gt;

  4555. &lt;p&gt;WHEN Oasis strike the opening chords of their reunion tour tonight, it will be an incredibly emotional moment for me.&lt;/p&gt;
  4556.  
  4557.  
  4558.  
  4559. &lt;p&gt;Alongside my 16-year-old daughter Amber, younger brother Stephen and tens of thousands of mad-for-it fans, I’ll be singing along to every word &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35655211/oasis-reunion-tour-setlist-cardiff/&quot;&gt;at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  4572.  
  4573.  
  4574.  
  4575. &lt;p&gt;I’m buzzing and really can’t wait. It will be the band’s first show since the year of Amber’s birth.&lt;/p&gt;
  4576.  
  4577.  
  4578.  
  4579. &lt;p&gt;Now a whole new generation of fans will witness first-hand what we’ve been raving about for so long.&lt;/p&gt;
  4580.  
  4581.  
  4582.  
  4583. &lt;p&gt;The best thing is Amber has found &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/oasis/&quot;&gt;Oasis&lt;/a&gt; without me, saying: “You need to listen to this brilliant band.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4584.  
  4585.  
  4586.  
  4587. &lt;p&gt;I’ll be such a proud dad as we sing all the lyrics together.&lt;/p&gt;
  4588.  
  4589.  
  4590.  
  4591. &lt;p&gt;I’ve been sending her different bootlegs of their live performances and we’ve already had a practice run, belting out their anthems.&lt;/p&gt;
  4592.  
  4593.  
  4594.  
  4595. &lt;p&gt;I might have to make a few excuses for Liam’s language, though — I know from personal experience that he has a fruity turn of phrase.&lt;/p&gt;
  4596.  
  4597.  
  4598.  
  4599. &lt;p&gt;Back in 2009, I was at a Prodigy gig when I bumped into &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/liam-gallagher/&quot;&gt;Liam&lt;/a&gt; and his then-wife &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nicole-appleton/&quot;&gt;Nicole Appleton&lt;/a&gt;. They’d been on holiday and I’d had a couple of lagers and cheekily yelled at him: “Is that fake tan you’re wearing?”&lt;/p&gt;
  4600.  
  4601.  
  4602.  
  4603. &lt;p&gt;For a minute, I thought he was going to hit me. He shouted: “No, I’m f***ing not you lanky streak of p***.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4604.  
  4605.  
  4606.  
  4607. &lt;p&gt;I think he then called me lanky bollocks.&lt;/p&gt;
  4608.  
  4609.  
  4610.  
  4611. &lt;p&gt;But he’s brilliant company.&lt;/p&gt;
  4612.  
  4613.

  4634.  
  4635. &lt;p&gt;People ask: “Who would be your top ten dinner party guests?”&lt;/p&gt;
  4636.  
  4637.  
  4638.  
  4639. &lt;p&gt;Well, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/liam-gallagher/&quot;&gt;Liam&lt;/a&gt; would certainly be one of mine. And I think you would want him to be the one who arrives last, with a 24-pack of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/guinness/&quot;&gt;Guinness&lt;/a&gt;, slamming them down on the table.&lt;/p&gt;
  4640.  
  4641.  
  4642.  
  4643. &lt;p&gt;Everyone would go: “Alright then, let’s have one of them.”&lt;/p&gt;
  4644.  
  4645.  
  4646.  
  4647. &lt;p&gt;For me — and countless others — today’s show will be a return to the golden days of our youth.&lt;/p&gt;
  4648.  
  4649.  
  4650.  
  4651. &lt;p&gt;When Supersonic, the first single, hit the charts in April 1994, it had the simplicity of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dance-music/&quot;&gt;dance music&lt;/a&gt; with the excitement of raucous guitars.&lt;/p&gt;
  4652.  
  4653.  
  4654.  
  4655. &lt;p&gt;I was 21 and me and my friends were blown away. They were just so relatable.&lt;/p&gt;
  4656.  
  4657.  
  4658.  
  4659. &lt;p&gt;The band dressed like us and had similar attitudes. Growing up in Bolton, my musical journey began with the train to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; every Saturday with my mates. We’d visit Piccadilly Records and try to blend in with the trendy kids with baggy jeans.&lt;/p&gt;
  4660.  
  4661.  
  4662.  
  4663. &lt;p&gt;Then I got into dance music. There were loads of clubs in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/manchester/&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/a&gt; including the Hacienda — the best club I’ve ever been to.&lt;/p&gt;
  4664.  
  4665.  
  4666.  
  4667. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Just blown away&lt;/h2&gt;
  4668.  
  4669.  
  4670.  
  4671. &lt;p&gt;We started to notice bill posters all over for this group called Oasis.&lt;/p&gt;
  4672.  
  4673.  
  4674.  
  4675. &lt;p&gt;We didn’t immediately jump on the band-wagon, but when Oasis exploded in 1994, we totally got it.&lt;/p&gt;
  4676.  
  4677.  
  4678.  
  4679. &lt;p&gt;Noel used to go to the Hacienda and Oasis rehearsed at the Boardwalk, another club we went to —­ it was all so familiar.&lt;/p&gt;
  4680.  
  4681.  
  4682.  
  4683. &lt;p&gt;And then as they grew and grew and grew and grew, we felt like it was OUR band.&lt;/p&gt;
  4684.  
  4685.  
  4686.  
  4687. &lt;p&gt;It felt like a great movement — a wonderful moment in time.&lt;/p&gt;
  4688.  
  4689.  
  4690.  
  4691. &lt;p&gt;I think that dance music and the early days of Britpop ran hand in hand. A couple of years earlier, it was all grunge. I went to the 1992 Reading Festival with Nirvana headlining.&lt;/p&gt;
  4692.  
  4693.  
  4694.  
  4695. &lt;p&gt;It was quite heavy and the look was army boots and baggy jumpers.&lt;/p&gt;
  4696.  
  4697.  
  4698.  
  4699. &lt;p&gt;Then all of a sudden there seemed to be this ray of sunshine from behind the grunge hills and everyone was wearing Oasis tracksuit tops and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/clarks/&quot;&gt;Clarks&lt;/a&gt; Wallabee shoes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4700.  
  4701.  
  4702.  
  4703. &lt;p&gt;I had the Liam haircut, but never went for his swaggering walk. I’m sure there’ll be plenty attempting it on the way to the stadium tonight.&lt;/p&gt;
  4704.  
  4705.  
  4706.  
  4707. &lt;p&gt;Back in the early 1990s, I was living for the weekend and going out — we were all over the    different scenes.&lt;/p&gt;
  4708.  
  4709.  
  4710.

  4714. &lt;p&gt;In the Nineties, whether you were into dance music, rock and roll — whatever you want to call it — all the genres came together&lt;/p&gt;
  4715. &lt;cite class=&quot;article__quote-credit theme__copy-color&quot;&gt;

  4719. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  4721.  
  4722.  
  4723.  
  4724. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/radio/&quot;&gt;Radio&lt;/a&gt; One championed Oasis at the time, especially Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq, so they were played a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
  4725.  
  4726.  
  4727.  
  4728. &lt;p&gt;In August 1994, their debut album Definitely Maybe was released and went straight to number one.&lt;/p&gt;
  4729.  
  4730.  
  4731.  
  4732. &lt;p&gt;As soon as it came out, I was like, “Right, I’m having a bit of this”.&lt;/p&gt;
  4733.  
  4734.  
  4735.  
  4736. &lt;p&gt;It’s just a brilliant album.&lt;/p&gt;
  4737.  
  4738.  
  4739.  
  4740. &lt;p&gt;Noel has said that the lyrics and stories on it are all about living on the breadline, but being with your mates and having a great time.&lt;/p&gt;
  4741.  
  4742.  
  4743.  
  4744. &lt;p&gt;Just sitting in a park on star-filled nights and staring up at the sky. It sounds quite romantic.&lt;/p&gt;
  4745.  
  4746.  
  4747.  
  4748. &lt;p&gt;Liam and Noel grew up on a council estate. I didn’t, but being from a working-class family I really felt the energy they transmitted.&lt;/p&gt;
  4749.  
  4750.  
  4751.  
  4752. &lt;p&gt;You could tell Manchester changed immediately when Oasis broke through. They made young people feel free.&lt;/p&gt;
  4753.  
  4754.  
  4755.  
  4756. &lt;p&gt;Next week, they head back to Manchester where it all began. I’ll be presenting my radio show live from the city as a celebration of the band, with fans sharing Oasis memories.&lt;/p&gt;
  4757.  
  4758.  
  4759.  
  4760. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Adds such a spark&lt;/h2&gt;
  4761.  
  4762.  
  4763.  
  4764. &lt;p&gt;Britpop was a social phenomenon.&lt;/p&gt;
  4765.  
  4766.  
  4767.  
  4768. &lt;p&gt;The bands — Oasis, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/blur/&quot;&gt;Blur&lt;/a&gt;, Pulp, Supergrass, Shed 7 — had loads of character with a bit of political anger thrown into the mix. It was just fab.&lt;/p&gt;
  4769.  
  4770.  
  4771.  
  4772. &lt;p&gt;Perhaps that’s what’s lacking in music today. Britpop was fun.&lt;/p&gt;
  4773.  
  4774.  
  4775.  
  4776. &lt;p&gt;And I think, in the Nineties, whether you were into dance music, rock and roll — whatever you want to call it — all the genres came together. And that’s why it was so good.&lt;/p&gt;
  4777.  
  4778.  
  4779.  
  4780. &lt;p&gt;In 2023, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds appeared, accompanied by the strings section of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; Concert Orchestra, for my Radio Two show.&lt;/p&gt;
  4781.  
  4782.  
  4783.  
  4784. &lt;p&gt;Beforehand, we talked for around an hour about the Hacienda days and dance music. Noel is very concise in how he speaks — very similar to his lyrics. He gets straight to the point.&lt;/p&gt;
  4785.  
  4786.  
  4787.  
  4788. &lt;p&gt;I understand how Noel and Liam fell out. Me and Stephen call each other all sorts, but the last person who speaks will do it with a snigger.&lt;/p&gt;
  4789.  
  4790.  
  4791.  
  4792. &lt;p&gt;You can say things to your brother that you can’t say to anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;
  4793.  
  4794.  
  4795.  
  4796. &lt;p&gt;It’ll be interesting to see what the Gallaghers’ relationship is like on stage. That’s the melodrama that adds such a spark to the band.&lt;/p&gt;
  4797.  
  4798.  
  4799.  
  4800. &lt;p&gt;Forget the ticket sale debacle — this tour is going to be phenomenal.&lt;/p&gt;
  4801.  
  4802.  
  4803.  
  4804. &lt;p&gt;There’s just going to be so much positivity, all the way through from the opening chords to the encore.&lt;/p&gt;
  4805.  
  4806.  
  4807.  
  4808. &lt;p&gt;And I’ll be moist-eyed, singing along to every track as my youngest daughter’s generation gets to see the band that changed everything.&lt;/p&gt;
  4809.  
  4810.  
  4811.  
  4812. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;GALLAGHER KIDS WELL PLAID!&lt;/h2&gt;
  4813.  
  4814.  
  4815.  
  4816. &lt;p&gt;FOUR of Liam and Noel’s kids got together for a family photoshoot ahead of Oasis’s record-breaking reunion tour.&lt;/p&gt;
  4817.  
  4818.  
  4819.  
  4820. &lt;p&gt;The new-gen Gallaghers – Liam’s children Molly, 27, Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, along with Noel’s daughter Anais, 25 – were decked out in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/burberry/&quot;&gt;Burberry&lt;/a&gt; as they posed in style for W Magazine.&lt;/p&gt;

  4978.  
  4979.  
  4980.  
  4981. &lt;p&gt;Jota is survived by his childhood sweetheart, Rute, whom he had married only 10 days earlier, and three children.&lt;/p&gt;

  4990.  
  4991.  
  4992.  
  4993. &lt;p&gt;On Thursday evening, Liverpool themselves posted a lengthy homage to the late attacker, describing him as a &amp;#8220;truly clutch figure&amp;#8221; before announcing they would &amp;#8220;immortalise&amp;#8221; his No20 shirt number. &lt;/p&gt;
  4994.  
  4995.  
  4996.  
  4997. &lt;p&gt;The club&amp;#8217;s statement, which recounted his career with the Anfield outfit said: &amp;#8220;&amp;#8216;He will take us to victory,&amp;#8217; sang the Liverpool fans in his honour – and Diogo Jota so often did exactly that.&lt;/p&gt;
  4998.  
  4999.  
  5000.  
  5001. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Portugal forward, who has tragically passed away in a road traffic accident at the age of 28, was a truly clutch figure for the Reds, in just the right place when his team needed his finishing knack.&lt;/p&gt;
  5002.  
  5003.  
  5004.  
  5005. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He arrived at Anfield in September 2020, enhancing the new Premier League champions’ attacking ranks by making the switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers.&lt;/p&gt;
  5006.  
  5007.  
  5008.  
  5009. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Jota’s career had started out in his home country at Pacos de Ferreira and a senior debut in 2014 kicked off a rise to glory in the club and international game.&lt;/p&gt;
  5010.  
  5011.  
  5012.  
  5013. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Signed by Atletico Madrid in 2016, he would not actually appear for the Spanish side, instead enjoying a productive next campaign on loan at FC Porto, honing his scoring skills and gaining Champions League experience.&lt;/p&gt;

  5034.  
  5035.  
  5036.  
  5037. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Another loan, this time to Wolves, beckoned and Jota was a key protagonist in firing the Midlands outfit out of the Championship with 17 goals during 2017-18.&lt;/p&gt;
  5038.  
  5039.  
  5040.  
  5041. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Capable of playing across all attacking positions, his work-rate and nimbleness enabled him to foil defenders in all kinds of ways, and those talents were successfully transferred permanently to the Premier League.&lt;/p&gt;
  5042.  
  5043.  
  5044.  
  5045. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Back-to-back seventh-placed finishes for Wolves in England’s top flight came alongside a run to the Europa League last eight in 2019-20 that saw Jota score nine times.&lt;/p&gt;
  5046.  
  5047.  
  5048.  
  5049. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Liverpool then swooped to recruit him and despite the unenviable challenge of forcing his way into a front line already composed of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, his impact was quick and considerable.&lt;/p&gt;
  5050.  
  5051.  
  5052.  
  5053. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Indeed, Jota reached double figures for goals by his 21st Reds appearance, a tally that included a scintillating hat-trick away at Atalanta in the Champions League.&lt;/p&gt;
  5054.  
  5055.  
  5056.  
  5057. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;An untimely injury prevented him from continuing that start but he returned to clinical effect, racking up 21 strikes in all competitions as Jürgen Klopp’s side almost achieved a quadruple in 2021-22, lifting the Carabao Cup and Emirates FA Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
  5058.  
  5059.  
  5060.  
  5061. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;‘The slotter’ was vital to those triumphs, a brilliant cameo against Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the former followed with a tie-deciding double at Arsenal in the semi-finals, while there was an FA Cup winner in the last eight versus Nottingham Forest.&lt;/p&gt;
  5062.  
  5063.  
  5064.  
  5065. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Though fitness misfortunes prevented Jota from always being able to feature in the seasons that followed, he continued to tot up goals and assists for the cause, relied upon by Klopp and his successor, Arne Slot.&lt;/p&gt;
  5066.  
  5067.  
  5068.  
  5069. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A cool head on the pitch – just remember his 94th-minute Anfield decider against Tottenham Hotspur in April 2023 – and a respected and much-loved team-mate off it.&lt;/p&gt;
  5070.  
  5071.  
  5072.  
  5073. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What cruelly has proved to be his final flourish in football saw Jota become a Premier League champion and a UEFA Nations League winner.&lt;/p&gt;

  5077. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The No.20 will be rightly immortalised for his contributions as part of Liverpool’s 2024-25 title-winners – the club’s 20th – with his trademark shimmy and strike in front of the Kop to seal victory in April’s Merseyside derby a poignant last goal of his life.&lt;/p&gt;

  5081. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To arrive at this particular season with the title that I’ve been chasing for a lot of years and in the best league in the world – for me where I dreamed to play as a kid – it’s a moment I will cherish forever,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;

  5085. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is a remarkable achievement for a small guy that came from Gondomar, where I had this dream. To arrive at this moment was outstanding.”&lt;/p&gt;
  5086.  
  5087.  
  5088.  
  5089. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;More joy and special moments followed just last month as Portugal – Jota represented his country 49 times and 14 of his overall senior total of 150 goals came in internationals – lifted the Nations League trophy.&lt;/p&gt;

  5096.  
  5097. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&amp;#8216;His name is Diogo,&amp;#8217; rang the chorus of that very own supporter chant. And we’ll never forget it. RIP Diogo Jota, 1996-2025.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5190.

  5193. &lt;p&gt;In wake of the news, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uefa/&quot;&gt;Uefa&lt;/a&gt; confirmed that a minute&amp;#8217;s silence would be held ahead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196725/portugal/&quot;&gt;Portugal&lt;/a&gt; vs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196716/spain/&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt; in the Women&amp;#8217;s Euros tonight.&lt;/p&gt;

  5238.  
  5239.  
  5240.  
  5241. &lt;p&gt;Among Real Madrid&amp;#8217;s minute&amp;#8217;s silence was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/trent-alexander-arnold/&quot;&gt;Trent Alexander-Arnold&lt;/a&gt;, who was Jota&amp;#8217;s teammate at Liverpool for five years, making almost 150 appearances together.&lt;/p&gt;
  5242.

  5247.  
  5248.  
  5249. &lt;p&gt;Chelsea&amp;#8217;s Pedro Neto, who played with Jota for Wolves and Portugal, did not train in the wake of his news about his friend.&lt;/p&gt;

  5262.  
  5263.  
  5264.  
  5265. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For Rute, his children, and his parents, all of our hearts are broken. And for Andre as well. Brothers and best friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  5266.  
  5267.  
  5268.  
  5269. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When it’s less painful, I want to remember Diogo with a big smile. So many laughs and happy moments. He was such a great teammate and a true friend.&lt;/p&gt;
  5270.  
  5271.  
  5272.  
  5273. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Forever number 20. Rest in peace, Diogo.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5288.  
  5289. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35687699/arne-slot-tribute-diogo-jota-death-liverpool/&quot;&gt;Liverpool manager Arne Slot also paid tribute to Jota&lt;/a&gt;, describing feelings of &amp;#8220;shock and pain&amp;#8221; that are &amp;#8220;so incredibly raw&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  5290.  
  5291.  
  5292.  
  5293. &lt;p&gt;The title-winning boss added: &amp;#8220;For us as a club, the sense of shock is absolute. Diogo was not just our player.&lt;/p&gt;
  5294.  
  5295.  
  5296.  
  5297. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was a loved one to all of us. He was a teammate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special.&lt;/p&gt;
  5298.  
  5299.  
  5300.  
  5301. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I could say so much about what he brought to our team but the truth is everyone who watched Diogo play could see it. &lt;/p&gt;
  5302.  
  5303.  
  5304.  
  5305. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hard work, desire, commitment, great quality, goals. The essence of what a Liverpool player should be.&lt;/p&gt;
  5306.  
  5307.  
  5308.  
  5309. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There were also the parts that not everyone got to see. The person who never sought popularity but found it anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
  5310.  
  5311.  
  5312.  
  5313. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Not a friend to two people, a friend to everyone. Someone who made others feel good about themselves just by being with them. A person who cared deeply for his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  5314.  
  5315.  
  5316.  
  5317. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nations-league/&quot;&gt;Nations League&lt;/a&gt; and wished him luck for his forthcoming wedding.&lt;/p&gt;
  5318.  
  5319.  
  5320.  
  5321. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In many ways, it was a dream summer for Diogo and his family, which makes it all the more heartbreaking that it should end like this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5322.  
  5323.  
  5324.  
  5325. &lt;p&gt;Fellow Liverpool icons such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jamie-carragher/&quot;&gt;Jamie Carragher&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/steven-gerrard/&quot;&gt;Steven Gerrard&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/robbie-fowler/&quot;&gt;Robbie Fowler&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-james/&quot;&gt;David James&lt;/a&gt; have all also paid their respects.&lt;/p&gt;

  5387.  
  5388. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;What change?&lt;/h2&gt;
  5389.  
  5390.  
  5391.  
  5392. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ON the anniversary of his first year in power, Sir Keir Starmer shouldn’t expect too many cards from a grateful public.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5393.  
  5394.  
  5395.  
  5396. &lt;p&gt;What he does have piling up on his desk are nasty looking bills.&lt;/p&gt;
  5397.  
  5398.  
  5399.  
  5400. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35689469&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/prime-minister-sir-keir-starmer-1004953455.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35689469&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;PA&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;One year into Labour&amp;#8217;s leadership and Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves have failed to deliver on any actual change[/caption]
  5401.  
  5402.  
  5403.  
  5404. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35588745/sun-says-starmer-labour-rebels-benefits-changes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tuesday’s capitulation to left-wing Labour rebels&lt;/a&gt; over benefits cost him and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/rachel-reeves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;his Chancellor&lt;/a&gt; £5billion.&lt;/p&gt;
  5405.  
  5406.  
  5407.  
  5408. &lt;p&gt;This was on top of the £1billion cost of the screeching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35347630/winter-fuel-payment-u-turn-too-late/#:~:text=Around%20ten%20million%20pensioners%20lost,could%20stretch%20their%20finances%20further.&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;winter fuel U-turn. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5409.  
  5410.  
  5411.  
  5412. &lt;p&gt;The total size of the black hole they face is now around £20billion.&lt;/p&gt;
  5413.  
  5414.  
  5415.  
  5416. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, it speaks volumes that the markets went into a frenzy at live &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35675606/keir-insists-hes-still-backing-reeves/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;coverage of Rachel Reeves crying in the House of Commons.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5417.  
  5418.  
  5419.  
  5420. &lt;p&gt;Our national &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/debt-help/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;debt&lt;/a&gt; is so cripplingly high that — if Reeves is replaced by somebody less keen on sticking to the Government’s fiscal rules — it could trigger a full-blown borrowing crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  5421.  
  5422.  
  5423.  
  5424. &lt;p&gt;Both the PM and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35672155/chancellor-rachel-reeves-tears-pmqs-labour-crisis-starmer/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Chancellor insist she was just having a tough day&lt;/a&gt; on Wednesday, and is going nowhere.&lt;/p&gt;
  5425.  
  5426.  
  5427.  
  5428. &lt;p&gt;So what’s the next move?&lt;/p&gt;
  5429.  
  5430.  
  5431.  
  5432. &lt;p&gt;A wealth tax or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35560913/ultimate-guide-pay-less-income-tax/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;more taxes&lt;/a&gt; on earnings or savings would hammer growth.&lt;/p&gt;
  5433.  
  5434.  
  5435.  
  5436. &lt;p&gt;Heaping more misery on voters by breaking manifesto commitments on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/income-tax/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;income tax&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/35370221/major-change-ev-charging-vat/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;VAT&lt;/a&gt; would spell both electoral and economic disaster.&lt;/p&gt;
  5437.  
  5438.  
  5439.  
  5440. &lt;p&gt;So No10’s only chance is to face down their deluded MPs — and make cuts to the bloated, hopelessly inefficient and unreformed State.&lt;/p&gt;

  5463.  
  5464. &lt;p&gt;A year ago — on the steps of Downing Street — Sir Keir promised real change.&lt;/p&gt;
  5465.  
  5466.  
  5467.  
  5468. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The only change so far has been very much for the worse.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5469.  
  5470.  
  5471.  
  5472. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Secret culture&lt;/h2&gt;
  5473.  
  5474.  
  5475.  
  5476. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE more we learn about the Bob Vylan Glastonbury scandal, the worse it gets.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5477.  
  5478.  
  5479.  
  5480. &lt;p&gt;BBC bosses now admit they had ranked the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35680458/bbc-apology-bob-vylan-glasto-chant-kneecap/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;antisemitic pop punk act as “high risk”.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5481.  
  5482.  
  5483.  
  5484. &lt;p&gt;Yet, incredibly, they still decided to screen live their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35624701/two-tier-justice-fury-bob-vylan-walks-free/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sick chant about killing Israeli soldiers.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5485.  
  5486.  
  5487.  
  5488. &lt;p&gt;Culture Secretary &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/lisa-nandy/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Lisa Nandy&lt;/a&gt; had demanded answers on why the live broadcast was not immediately shut down — and who was responsible.&lt;/p&gt;
  5489.  
  5490.  
  5491.  
  5492. &lt;p&gt;Yesterday, she told MPs the reply she received from the BBC had provided none whatsoever.&lt;/p&gt;
  5493.  
  5494.  
  5495.  
  5496. &lt;p&gt;It’s always the same with Auntie’s top brass.&lt;/p&gt;
  5497.  
  5498.  
  5499.  
  5500. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hunker down, try to make sure nobody gets the sack — then move swiftly on to the next debacle.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5501.  
  5502.  
  5503.  
  5504. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;Our joy in Jota&lt;/h2&gt;
  5505.  
  5506.  
  5507.  
  5508. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIOGO Jota’s sudden passing is a sad reminder that life can be random in its cruelty.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5509.  
  5510.  
  5511.  
  5512. &lt;p&gt;That we will never again see his wonderful talents on the pitch &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675514/diogo-jota-dead-liverpool-star-dies-car-crash/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;is a shocking loss.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5513.  
  5514.  
  5515.  
  5516. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But Jota will forever be remembered as a player whose verve, skill and sheer joy in the game made even neutral fans smile.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  5581.

  5585.  
  5586.  
  5587.  
  5588. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;Harrison is using Toni to stay in the villa, because he knows Helena will choose Harry in an instance and his place in the villa is jeopardised. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  5753. &lt;p&gt;A FURIOUS Wimbledon star had to be held back from the umpire after his match was controversially suspended just as he was ready to serve for the match.&lt;/p&gt;
  5754.  
  5755.  
  5756.  
  5757. &lt;p&gt;Ben Shelton&amp;#8217;s second-round clash with Rinky Hijikata was allowed to carry on until nearly 9.30pm in the hope of getting it finished.&lt;/p&gt;
  5758.  
  5759.  
  5760.

  5766.  
  5767.  
  5768.  
  5769. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35690046&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/LB-OP-shelton-3copy.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Tennis player arguing with an umpire.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35690046&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;BBC&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Shelton made his feelings known to the chair umpire[/caption]
  5770.  
  5771.  
  5772.  
  5773. &lt;p&gt;Shelton, 22, led by two sets and got an early break in the third.&lt;/p&gt;
  5774.  
  5775.  
  5776.  
  5777. &lt;p&gt;But after seeing three match points come and go at 5-3 on the Hijikata serve, the American was ready for a change of ends then hoped to serve for a straight-sets victory.&lt;/p&gt;
  5778.  
  5779.  
  5780.  
  5781. &lt;p&gt;However, at 9.29pm, the umpire announced play was called off for bad light as darkness had, in fairness, descended on SW19 in conditions reminiscent of Rafael Nadal&amp;#8217;s 2008 final win.&lt;/p&gt;
  5782.  
  5783.  
  5784.  
  5785. &lt;p&gt;That sparked groans and a smattering of boos from ticket holders on No2 Court. &lt;/p&gt;
  5786.  
  5787.  
  5788.  
  5789. &lt;p&gt;Aussie Hijikata grabbed his bags and headed off court &amp;#8211; but Shelton was fuming.&lt;/p&gt;
  5790.  
  5791.  
  5792.  
  5793. &lt;p&gt;The No10 seed, watched by his footballer girlfriend Trinity Rodman, immediately pleaded for the match to be continued for one more game to see if he could finish the job.&lt;/p&gt;
  5794.  
  5795.  
  5796.  
  5797. &lt;p&gt;But his protests fell on deaf ears as he wagged and pointed an angry finger towards the umpire and needed to be restrained by a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; chief.&lt;/p&gt;
  5798.  
  5799.  
  5800.  
  5801. &lt;p&gt;The courtside microphones struggled to pick up exactly what Shelton said.&lt;/p&gt;
  5802.  
  5803.  
  5804.  
  5805. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5806.  
  5807.  
  5808.  
  5809. &lt;p&gt;But it was clear he was making a case to play out one more game to see if he could complete the match &amp;#8211; especially because he had not dropped serve in the entire match.&lt;/p&gt;
  5810.  
  5811.  
  5812.  
  5813. &lt;p&gt;Instead, he will now have to come back on Friday for, quite possibly, just four more points. &lt;/p&gt;

  5837. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/tennis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Tennis&lt;/a&gt; fans flooded social media with reaction to the shocking drama &amp;#8211; although it could have easily been avoided by taking the players off either after the second set or early in the third.&lt;/p&gt;
  5838.  
  5839.  
  5840.  
  5841. &lt;p&gt;One said: &amp;#8220;Unbelievable. Maybe 2 minutes later, it was finished… A true joke.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5842.  
  5843.  
  5844.  
  5845. &lt;p&gt;Another wrote: &amp;#8220;Wimbledon should be ashamed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5846.  
  5847.  
  5848.  
  5849. &lt;p&gt;A third added: &amp;#8220;This tournament has become the worst major in all of professional sports. Embarrassing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5850.  
  5851.  
  5852.  
  5853. &lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/GM_29-06_WIMBLEDON-BLOG_COMP_a7b657.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35620584&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

  5858.  
  5859.  
  5860.  
  5861. &lt;p&gt;A fourth commented: &amp;#8220;The warm up will take longer than what’s left of match to complete, only positive bit is that it’s a quick practice for Shelton but otherwise it&amp;#8217;s a shocker.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5862.  
  5863.  
  5864.  
  5865. &lt;p&gt;A fifth replied: &amp;#8220;They couldn&amp;#8217;t have let them play one more game and leave it at 5-5 if Shelton couldn&amp;#8217;t serve it out or be done if he did? Ridiculous.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5866.  
  5867.  
  5868.  
  5869. &lt;p&gt;And a final user typed: &amp;#8220;Making them warm up for a singular game tomorrow is insane.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  5870.  
  5871.  
  5872.  
  5873. &lt;p&gt;In theory, Wimbledon could have closed either the Centre Court or No1 Court roof and put the lights on to finish the match off on Thursday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  5874.  
  5875.  
  5876.  
  5877. &lt;p&gt;Instead, they confirmed the match would resume at 6-2 7-5 5-4 not before 12.30pm on No2 Court on Friday. &lt;/p&gt;

  5972. &lt;p&gt;Prime Ministers travel to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Buckingham Palace&lt;/a&gt; every week for a face-to-face audience with the monarch to discuss the matters of the day.&lt;/p&gt;

  5984. &lt;p&gt;One survey last week showed his party would win the most seats should an election be held tomorrow but fall short of an outright majority.&lt;/p&gt;
  5985.  
  5986.  
  5987.  
  5988. &lt;p&gt;Asked if he had what it takes to be PM, he said: “Yeah I do, I really do.&lt;/p&gt;

  6074.  
  6075.  
  6076.  
  6077. &lt;p&gt;They wrote: &amp;#8220;Not sure if anyone has posted yet but &lt;span id=&quot;fe9f43a7-c0ff-4519-9839-0178d1fd0ee1&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Asda&lt;/span&gt; has a really good sale in store and online. &lt;/p&gt;
  6078.  
  6079.  
  6080.  
  6081. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Most things reduced to £5. Loads of stitch things, loads of pyjama sets for children and adults. &lt;/p&gt;
  6082.  
  6083.  
  6084.  
  6085. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think it&amp;#8217;s one of the better Asda sales I&amp;#8217;ve seen in a while, especially on clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
  6086.  
  6087.  
  6088.  
  6089. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This was the one at Crown point in Leeds.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6090.  
  6091.  
  6092.  
  6093. &lt;p&gt;Asda&amp;#8217;s first standalone George store &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34690950/supermarket-giant-announces-plans-to-open-store-days/&quot;&gt;opened on May 10&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/leeds/&quot;&gt;Leeds&lt;/a&gt;, replacing the former Asda Living site at Crown Point &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/retail/&quot;&gt;Retail&lt;/a&gt; Park.&lt;/p&gt;
  6094.  
  6095.  
  6096.  
  6097. &lt;p&gt;The new store &lt;span id=&quot;3f947731-3a47-4759-b1b0-42bdfdd3748c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;features&lt;/span&gt; a wide range of fashion, homeware, toys and baby essentials, along with a new café for shoppers. &lt;/p&gt;

  6125. &lt;p&gt;Bosses are expected to decide later this year whether to expand the George format following further trials.&lt;/p&gt;
  6126.  
  6127.  
  6128.  
  6129. &lt;p&gt;George was launched in 1989 through a partnership between fashion designer George Davies and Asda, becoming the UK’s first supermarket clothing brand.&lt;/p&gt;
  6130.  
  6131.  
  6132.  
  6133. &lt;p&gt;By 2004, it had become the country’s biggest clothing retailer, prompting Asda to open Living stores to branch into homeware. &lt;/p&gt;
  6134.  
  6135.  
  6136.  
  6137. &lt;p&gt;Today, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30601648/george-asda-new-autumn-winter-fashion-coats-boots/&quot;&gt;George is stocked in 560 Asda stores&lt;/a&gt; and attracts 260 million visits annually to its website.&lt;/p&gt;
  6138.  
  6139.  
  6140.  
  6141. &lt;p&gt;It comes as another savvy shopper &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35658598/asda-baby-clothes-sale-with-up-to-50-off/&quot;&gt;took to social media to share&lt;/a&gt; Asda’s in-store George Baby &amp;amp; Kids Clothing sale, with items slashed by 50 percent.&lt;/p&gt;
  6142.  
  6143.  
  6144.  
  6145. &lt;p&gt;The retailer has also rolled out discounts on children’s clothing for ages up to 14.&lt;/p&gt;
  6146.  
  6147.  
  6148.  
  6149. &lt;p&gt;Beyond fashion, Asda has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35631392/asda-sale-garden-furniture-summer-viral-rattan-egg-chair/&quot;&gt;knocked up to 40 percent off&lt;/a&gt; selected garden furniture for the summer. &lt;/p&gt;
  6150.  
  6151.  
  6152.  
  6153. &lt;p&gt;Its viral rattan egg chair is among the items on the list.&lt;/p&gt;

  6218. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kylie-jenner/&quot;&gt;Kylie&lt;/a&gt; put her toned physique on display as she posed for photos at a luxury Tuscany villa.&lt;/p&gt;
  6219.  
  6220.  
  6221.  
  6222. &lt;p&gt;She was seen eating from a bowl of cherries and holding a wine glass as she soaked up the sunshine in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
  6223.  
  6224.  
  6225.  
  6226. &lt;p&gt;The brunette beauty showed off her golden tan in the swimwear as she posed for a string of photos.&lt;/p&gt;
  6227.  
  6228.  
  6229.  
  6230. &lt;p&gt;In one photo, Kylie scrunched up her nose for a playful snap and in another she sexily smouldered at the camera. &lt;/p&gt;
  6231.  
  6232.  
  6233.  
  6234. &lt;p&gt;The KUWTK star&amp;#8217;s glamorous display comes after she revealed her plastic surgery secrets &amp;#8211; including doctor details and breast implant size.&lt;/p&gt;
  6235.  
  6236.  
  6237.  
  6238. &lt;p&gt;Kylie made the admission in response to influencer Rachel Leary, who had praised her chest as “the most perfect, natural boob job ever” and begged for specifics.&lt;/p&gt;
  6239.  
  6240.  
  6241.  
  6242. &lt;p&gt;Rachel had uploaded a video on Monday asking Kylie to share what she “asked for” when getting her breasts done.&lt;/p&gt;
  6243.  
  6244.  
  6245.  
  6246. &lt;p&gt;She captioned it: “Help a girl out @Kylie Jenner, I just want to know how to get them to sit like that, respectfully.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6247.  
  6248.  
  6249.  
  6250. &lt;p&gt;To the surprise of many, the beauty mogul replied directly to the clip, writing: “445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6251.  
  6252.  
  6253.  
  6254. &lt;p&gt;The TikTok exchange comes two years after Kylie first confirmed she had undergone a secret breast augmentation at 19 &amp;#8211; something she denied for years.&lt;/p&gt;

  6279.  
  6280.  
  6281.  
  6282. &lt;p&gt;Fans quickly flooded the comments with praise for the star.&lt;/p&gt;
  6283.  
  6284.  
  6285.  
  6286. &lt;p&gt;Jenner’s surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, is a well-known&amp;nbsp;celebrity&amp;nbsp;doctor and is a longtime favourite of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.&lt;/p&gt;
  6287.  
  6288.  
  6289.  
  6290. &lt;p&gt;He performed Kris Jenner’s facelift on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, gave Kourtney Kardashian her boob job, and even carried out a revision facelift for Caitlyn Jenner pre-transition.&lt;/p&gt;
  6291.  
  6292.  
  6293.  
  6294. &lt;p&gt;He also removed a tumour from Khloe Kardashian’s face and helped Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna revise her silicone lip fillers.&lt;/p&gt;
  6295.  
  6296.  
  6297.  
  6298. &lt;p&gt;Kylie first confirmed her surgery in a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, revealing she had the procedure done before giving birth to daughter Stormi, now seven.&lt;/p&gt;
  6299.  
  6300.  
  6301.  
  6302. &lt;p&gt;She told Stassie Karanikolaou: &amp;#8220;I got my breasts done before Stormi. Within six months of having Stormi – not thinking I would have a child when I was 20 – they were still healing.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6303.  
  6304.  
  6305.  
  6306. &lt;p&gt;She admitted she regretted the decision, adding:&lt;br&gt;“I had beautiful breasts, like natural t*ts, just gorgeous… and I just wished, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6307.

  6355. &lt;p&gt;BOMBSHELL allegations swirling around Meghan Markle are &amp;#8220;dynamite&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;prove she saw Harry as a stepping stone&amp;#8221;, an expert has said.&lt;/p&gt;
  6356.  
  6357.  
  6358.  
  6359. &lt;p&gt;Esteemed royal biographer Phil Dampier shared his opinions on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/35653273/queen-doubted-meghan-long-before-megxit-royal-expert/&quot;&gt;the latest claims&lt;/a&gt; made by Sally Bedell Smith, the late Queen, and her closest confidants.&lt;/p&gt;

  6376.  
  6377.  
  6378.  
  6379. &lt;p&gt;According to &amp;#8220;very well respected royal biographer&amp;#8221; Bedell Smith, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/the-queen/&quot;&gt;Queen Elizabeth II &lt;/a&gt;had shared her alleged doubts over the new Duchess, and feared &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/prince-harry/&quot;&gt;Harry &lt;/a&gt;was &amp;#8220;weak&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6380.  
  6381.  
  6382.  
  6383. &lt;p&gt;Mr Dampier said the author was extremely close to Lady Elizabeth Anson, who was a confidante and a cousin of the Queen.&lt;/p&gt;
  6384.  
  6385.  
  6386.  
  6387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And Liza Shockley, as Sally Smith likes to call her, she was speaking to the Queen on a regular basis right up until her death, spoke to her every day, even in lockdown,&amp;#8221; he continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  6388.  
  6389.  
  6390.  
  6391. &lt;p&gt;Mr Dampier claimed, therefore, this meant information had come &amp;#8220;right from the horse&amp;#8217;s mouth&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6392.  
  6393.  
  6394.  
  6395. &lt;p&gt;He also alleged &amp;#8220;we can trust this information&amp;#8221;, which is &amp;#8220;very, very telling&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6396.  
  6397.  
  6398.  
  6399. &lt;p&gt;In harsh comments, the expert shared his thoughts: &amp;#8220;And to be honest, it confirms what we&amp;#8217;d already suspected that you know, that at first the Queen was very keen on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/meghan-markle/&quot;&gt;Meghan&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6400.  
  6401.  
  6402.  
  6403. &lt;p&gt;Mr Dampier further alleged the Queen&amp;#8217;s reported &amp;#8220;doubts&amp;#8221; about Meghan &amp;#8220;ruined her close relationship with Harry&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6404.  
  6405.  
  6406.  
  6407. &lt;p&gt;Bedell Smith also claimed Meghan was rude to the late Queen for 10 minutes over wedding details. &lt;/p&gt;
  6408.  
  6409.  
  6410.  
  6411. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She remarked that Harry was perhaps a little bit too much in love, was possibly besotted and a bit weak and being manipulated by Meghan,&amp;#8221; he continued.&lt;/p&gt;

  6434.  
  6435. &lt;p&gt;Sharing his own opinions, Mr Dampier added: &amp;#8220;I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I&amp;#8217;ve been saying or thought for the last few years that, sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the royal family. &lt;/p&gt;
  6436.  
  6437.  
  6438.  
  6439. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She saw as a stepping stone getting married to to Harry to to to new fame and fortune. &lt;/p&gt;
  6440.  
  6441.  
  6442.  
  6443. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And I think that&amp;#8217;s what initially Prince William was concerned about. And that&amp;#8217;s why they fell out. And now we are where we are. But to have this confirmed by somebody so close to the Queen is, is is really dynamite.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6444.  
  6445.  
  6446.  
  6447. &lt;p&gt;Fellow expert, Esther Okraku, echoed these strong opinions and added how there&amp;#8217;s a &amp;#8220;thread of commonality&amp;#8221; regarding allegations clouding Meghan.&lt;/p&gt;
  6448.  
  6449.  
  6450.  
  6451. &lt;p&gt;She touched on previous comments made by King Charles that Harry was &amp;#8220;whipped&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6452.  
  6453.  
  6454.  
  6455. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think she was welcomed, like much of the country, with open arms,&amp;#8221;  Ms Okraku continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  6456.  
  6457.  
  6458.  
  6459. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think where things went wrong was clearly the cultural clash. &lt;/p&gt;
  6460.  
  6461.  
  6462.  
  6463. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And I think in some ways Meghan thought she was marrying a billionaire, but was marrying a millionaire, with like sort of a reduced status. So that might have been, not appealing eventually.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  6476.  
  6477.  
  6478.  
  6479. &lt;p&gt;This comes as for the first time,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/15024753/harry-ignored-queens-plea-privately-reconciliation/&quot;&gt;the Queen’s private concerns&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;have been made public in heartbreaking detail — showing just how perceptive she proved to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  6480.  
  6481.  
  6482.  
  6483. &lt;p&gt;This week Sally published “explosive” revelations made to her by one of Her Majesty’s closest confidantes, her first cousin once removed,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13080087/the-queen-cousin-lady-elizabeth-shakerley-anson-dead/&quot;&gt;Lady Elizabeth Anson&lt;/a&gt;, in several conversations in 2018 and 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  6484.  
  6485.  
  6486.  
  6487. &lt;p&gt;Lady Elizabeth claimed there were serious concerns in the upper echelons of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/buckingham-palace/&quot;&gt;Palace&lt;/a&gt;, long before&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/35400260/meghan-harry-axe-host-key-aides/&quot;&gt;Harry and Meghan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;made themselves royal pariahs.&lt;/p&gt;
  6488.  
  6489.  
  6490.  
  6491. &lt;p&gt;Just days before the wedding, she had told Sally: “We hope but don’t quite think [Meghan] is in love.&lt;/p&gt;
  6492.  
  6493.  
  6494.  
  6495. &lt;p&gt;“We think she engineered it all.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6496.  
  6497.  
  6498.  
  6499. &lt;p&gt;She added: “It’s worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry.&lt;/p&gt;
  6500.  
  6501.  
  6502.  
  6503. &lt;p&gt;“The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6504.  
  6505.  
  6506.  
  6507. &lt;p&gt;In another exchange,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/9989615/queen-told-grandchildren-off-loading-dishwasher-cousin-lady-elizabeth-anson/&quot;&gt;Lady Elizabeth&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said: “I don’t trust Meghan an inch.&lt;/p&gt;
  6508.  
  6509.  
  6510.  
  6511. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Meghan could turn into nothing but trouble.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6512.  
  6513.  
  6514.  
  6515. &lt;p&gt;The shock revelations were released this week in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/9723917/queen-carries-inside-handbag-lipstick-lozenges/&quot;&gt;Sally’s&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Royals Extra feature on publishing platform Substack.&lt;/p&gt;
  6516.  
  6517.  
  6518.  
  6519. &lt;p&gt;The observations by Lady Elizabeth, who died from lung cancer in November 2020 aged 79, show the warning signs were there from the start — and proved well-founded.&lt;/p&gt;
  6520.  
  6521.  
  6522.  
  6523. &lt;p&gt;She said&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/35631935/meghan-markle-fruit-picking-conspiracy/&quot;&gt;Meghan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;had initially appeared “natural, intelligent and thoughtful” after getting engaged to Harry in 2017.&lt;/p&gt;
  6524.  
  6525.  
  6526.  
  6527. &lt;p&gt;But as their wedding approached, they both caused a stir with their poor behaviour — and blatant disrespect for the Queen.&lt;/p&gt;
  6528.  
  6529.  
  6530.  
  6531. &lt;p&gt;Harry was reportedly “rude to her for ten minutes” in one meeting and upset her by asking the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31664187/archbishop-canterbury-justin-welby-resigns/&quot;&gt;Archbishop of Canterbury&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to perform the wedding service in May 2018, without first seeking permission from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6323926/dean-of-windsor-david-conner/&quot;&gt;Dean of Windsor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6532.  
  6533.  
  6534.  
  6535. &lt;p&gt;As a high-society event planner herself, Lady Elizabeth — who was born at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/windsor-castle/&quot;&gt;Windsor Castle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 1941 and was also&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32455842/king-george-chase-2024-declared-runners-riders/&quot;&gt;King George VI’s&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;goddaughter — understood all too well just what an embarrassing situation this put the Queen in.&lt;/p&gt;
  6536.  
  6537.  
  6538.  
  6539. &lt;p&gt;She said at the time: “Harry seems to think the Queen can do what she wants, but she can’t.&lt;/p&gt;
  6540.  
  6541.  
  6542.  
  6543. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On the religious side, it is the Dean of Windsor’s jurisdiction.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6544.  
  6545.  
  6546.  
  6547. &lt;p&gt;She added that as a result, “Harry has blown his relationship with his grandmother.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6548.  
  6549.  
  6550.  
  6551. &lt;p&gt;They did later “patch things up” — but the hurt remained.&lt;/p&gt;
  6552.  
  6553.  
  6554.  
  6555. &lt;p&gt;As for Meghan, allegations of her “diva-like” behaviour in the run-up to her big day are nothing new.&lt;/p&gt;
  6556.  
  6557.  
  6558.  
  6559. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, at the time, it was rumoured that she had been nicknamed “Me-gain” by Palace courtiers, thanks to her extensive demands, and among her many complaints, had moaned about the “musty” smell in the chapel.&lt;/p&gt;
  6560.  
  6561.  
  6562.  
  6563. &lt;p&gt;In 2018 she told Sally that Meghan had rattled the Queen days before the wedding, revealing: “They had tea with her the day before yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
  6564.  
  6565.  
  6566.  
  6567. &lt;p&gt;“She was trying to find out about the wedding dress, and Meghan wouldn’t tell her.”&lt;/p&gt;
  6568.  
  6569.  
  6570.  
  6571. &lt;p&gt;This was enough to spark concern in the Palace, with hushed fears brewing that Meghan could “turn into nothing but trouble” and that — despite royal protocol — “she sees things in a different way”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6572.  
  6573.  
  6574.  
  6575. &lt;p&gt;As Sally revealed this week: “I asked her if Meghan was being bossy. ‘So I gather,’ Lady Elizabeth replied. ‘Very much so.’”&lt;/p&gt;
  6576.  
  6577.  
  6578.  
  6579. &lt;p&gt;The biographer continued: “By late February 2019 when Liza [Lady Elizabeth’s nickname] and I spoke on the phone, she said, ‘I don’t trust Meghan an inch. To begin with, she was not bad — a straightforward starlet, used to public speaking and charity work.&lt;/p&gt;
  6580.  
  6581.  
  6582.  
  6583. &lt;p&gt;“The wedge between the brothers is really too bad.’”&lt;/p&gt;
  6584.  
  6585.  
  6586.  
  6587. &lt;p&gt;Sadly, the wedge only widened the gap.&lt;/p&gt;
  6588.  
  6589.  
  6590.  
  6591. &lt;p&gt;In January 2020, Harry and Meghan announced they had chosen to “transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution”.&lt;/p&gt;
  6592.  
  6593.  
  6594.  
  6595. &lt;p&gt;At first, it seemed they wanted to keep one foot in the royal fold, while pursuing financial opportunities on the outside.&lt;/p&gt;
  6596.  
  6597.  
  6598.  
  6599. &lt;p&gt;But after months of negotiations, the Queen and the then&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/king-charles/&quot;&gt;Prince Charles&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;laid down the law — they were either fully in or fully out.&lt;/p&gt;
  6600.  
  6601.  
  6602.  
  6603. &lt;p&gt;There was no in-between.&lt;/p&gt;
  6604.  
  6605.  
  6606.  
  6607. &lt;p&gt;The couple opted for the latter and moved to the US later that year, infamously launching a crusade of Palace-bashing and com- plaints against the royals in the aftermath.&lt;/p&gt;
  6608.  
  6609.

  6648. &lt;p&gt;A STRUGGLING major car brand has suffered another blow as it has been forced to recall over 440,000 motors. &lt;/p&gt;
  6649.  
  6650.  
  6651.  
  6652. &lt;p&gt;The manufacturer has recalled the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;motors&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/us-news/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;US&lt;/a&gt; because of defects that could lead to engine failure.&lt;/p&gt;

  6657.  
  6658.  
  6659.  
  6660. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nissan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nissan&lt;/a&gt; identified a potential manufacturing defect in a number of its vehicle&amp;#8217;s engine components. &lt;/p&gt;
  6661.  
  6662.  
  6663.  
  6664. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;company&lt;/a&gt; said that it could cause engine damage or complete failure, increasing the risk of crash.&lt;/p&gt;
  6665.  
  6666.  
  6667.  
  6668. &lt;p&gt;The recall includes the 2021-2024 Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50 and 2022 Infiniti QX55. &lt;/p&gt;
  6669.  
  6670.  
  6671.  
  6672. &lt;p&gt;All &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;vehicles&lt;/a&gt; have either a three-cylinder, 1.5 litre or four-cylinder, two litre variable compression turbo engine. &lt;/p&gt;
  6673.  
  6674.  
  6675.  
  6676. &lt;p&gt;A majority of the recalled motors are the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogues.&lt;/p&gt;
  6677.  
  6678.  
  6679.  
  6680. &lt;p&gt;Nissan said in its announcement on the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website: &amp;#8220;The engine bearings may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6681.  
  6682.  
  6683.  
  6684. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nissan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;company&lt;/a&gt; said dealers will inspect the engine oil pan for metal debris and, if needed, repair or replace the engine for free. &lt;/p&gt;
  6685.  
  6686.  
  6687.  
  6688. &lt;p&gt;For vehicles with a three-cylinder, 1.5 litre VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is found during an inspection, dealers will replace the oil pan gasket, engine oil and reprogram the engine control module. &lt;/p&gt;
  6689.  
  6690.  
  6691.  
  6692. &lt;p&gt;And dealers will replace the engine oil on the four-cylinder engines if no debris is found.&lt;/p&gt;
  6693.  
  6694.  
  6695.  
  6696. &lt;p&gt;Nissan plans to notify dealers in the US starting from July 15 and drivers from August 25.&lt;/p&gt;

  6720. &lt;p&gt;This comes as the struggling car brand has reportedly asked to delay payments to suppliers in a bid to free up funds.&lt;/p&gt;
  6721.  
  6722.  
  6723.  
  6724. &lt;p&gt;The company&amp;#8217;s new CEO has already confirmed it &lt;span&gt;will be axing hundreds of jobs at a UK factory after reporting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/35558629/car-boss-reveals-comeback-plan-nissan-jobs-crisis/&quot;&gt;£4 billion in losses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in the last financial year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  6732. &lt;p&gt;The manufacturer announced 20,000 job losses, seven factory closures and a pause on all post-2026 new car developments earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  6733.  
  6734.

  6736. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s part of a restructuring project overseen by new CEO, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/35515520/car-maker-space-race-rocket/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ivan Espinosa&lt;/a&gt;, after he was appointed in April. &lt;/p&gt;

  6741.  
  6742.  
  6743.  
  6744. &lt;p&gt;According to a source and emails seen by Reuters, Nissan asked suppliers in Britain and the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/european-union/&quot;&gt;European Union&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;to accept delays in payments.&lt;/p&gt;
  6745.  
  6746.  
  6747.

  6749.  
  6750.  
  6751.  
  6752. &lt;p&gt;It is all part of Nissan&amp;#8217;s attempt to rebuild in light of their&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/35605122/british-sportscar-manufacturer-lotus-close-uk-us-move/&quot;&gt;financial difficulties&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  6789.

  6805.  
  6806.  
  6807.  
  6808. &lt;p&gt;Susan Lupton, 63, dubbed her neighbour the &amp;#8220;evil badger man&amp;#8221; as she believed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/animals/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;animals&lt;/a&gt; he cared for had killed another neighbour&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pets/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;pet&lt;/a&gt; cat.&lt;/p&gt;
  6809.  
  6810.  
  6811.  
  6812. &lt;p&gt;The arson took place at the coastal village of Freshwater Bay on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/isle-of-wight/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Isle of Wight&lt;/a&gt;, causing £18,500 worth of damages with Lee&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/land-rover/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Freelander&lt;/a&gt; destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;
  6813.  
  6814.  
  6815.  
  6816. &lt;p&gt;Another &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/property/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;property&lt;/a&gt; was also damaged as the blaze spread to a neighbouring house. &lt;/p&gt;
  6817.  
  6818.  
  6819.  
  6820. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; arrived to Lupton, who has bipolar disorder, having a manic episode, telling officers: &amp;#8220;I did it, I&amp;#8217;m responsible&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6821.  
  6822.  
  6823.  
  6824. &lt;p&gt;She has avoided &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prison/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/a&gt; after admitting two counts of arson but has been banned from the area.&lt;/p&gt;
  6825.  
  6826.  
  6827.  
  6828. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/isle-of-wight/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Isle of Wight&lt;/a&gt; Court heard how Lupton set fire to Lee&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/land-rover/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Land Rover&lt;/a&gt; on June 20, 2024. &lt;/p&gt;
  6829.  
  6830.  
  6831.  
  6832. &lt;p&gt;She had set fire to a plastic container filled with white spirit before sliding it under the Freelander, according to prosecutor Joanna Staples.&lt;/p&gt;
  6833.  
  6834.  
  6835.  
  6836. &lt;p&gt;The vehicle was completely gutted and a window, guttering, cooker extractor and a tree were all damaged beyond repair on a neighbouring property. &lt;/p&gt;
  6837.  
  6838.  
  6839.  
  6840. &lt;p&gt;Lee, a wildlife volunteer, would leave food out for the badgers on his driveway, tried to put out the blaze himself before firefighters arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  6841.  
  6842.  
  6843.  
  6844. &lt;p&gt;The badgers haven&amp;#8217;t returned to the property since the fire, he said. &lt;/p&gt;

  6865.  
  6866.  
  6867.  
  6868. &lt;p&gt;Lupton, who moved to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/south-africa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;South Africa&lt;/a&gt; in 1980, told police she had started the fire in an attempt to kill the badgers he was looking after. &lt;/p&gt;
  6869.  
  6870.  
  6871.  
  6872. &lt;p&gt;She believed they had killed a cat owned by another neighbour. &lt;/p&gt;
  6873.  
  6874.  
  6875.  
  6876. &lt;p&gt;Lupton also claimed she had learnt how to start the fire from a firefighter friend. &lt;/p&gt;
  6877.  
  6878.  
  6879.  
  6880. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; heard how she had shared posts on her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/facebook/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; page claiming Lee was an &amp;#8220;evil badger man&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  6881.  
  6882.  
  6883.  
  6884. &lt;p&gt;In a victim impact statement, Lee said that Lupton was &amp;#8220;sick, twisted and a manipulative individual&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6885.  
  6886.  
  6887.  
  6888. &lt;p&gt;He added how she had left him constantly checking his security cameras out of fear she may appear on his driveway with some matches. &lt;/p&gt;
  6889.  
  6890.  
  6891.  
  6892. &lt;p&gt;Lee went on to add that his &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/land-rover/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Land Rover&lt;/a&gt; was his &amp;#8220;pride and joy&amp;#8221; and said Lupton&amp;#8217;s actions had ruined his life. &lt;/p&gt;
  6893.  
  6894.  
  6895.  
  6896. &lt;p&gt;He told the court that Lupton has posted videos online of her throwing bricks at badgers and lacing bowls of food with glass. &lt;/p&gt;
  6897.  
  6898.  
  6899.  
  6900. &lt;p&gt;Neighbour Kavita Hayton, whose home was damaged by the incident, said the attack had left her &amp;#8220;genuinely frightened&amp;#8221; and in &amp;#8220;a state of fear for many months&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6901.  
  6902.  
  6903.  
  6904. &lt;p&gt;Lupton&amp;#8217;s barrister Jonathan Underhill told the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; that Lupton had a single conviction for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;criminal&lt;/a&gt; damage on her record and that she had bipolar disorder. &lt;/p&gt;
  6905.  
  6906.  
  6907.  
  6908. &lt;p&gt;He asked the judge to give Lupton a suspended sentence to help with her rehabilitation. &lt;/p&gt;
  6909.  
  6910.  
  6911.  
  6912. &lt;p&gt;Judge James Newton-Price said the victims had suffered a &amp;#8220;terrifying experience&amp;#8221; and Lupton had developed a &amp;#8220;fixation&amp;#8221; and had become &amp;#8220;irrationally obsessed&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  6913.  
  6914.  
  6915.  
  6916. &lt;p&gt;The judge added during sentencing: &amp;#8220;You say you are horrified for what you&amp;#8217;ve done. &lt;/p&gt;
  6917.  
  6918.  
  6919.  
  6920. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I believe you have a realistic prospect of rehabilitation, and that imprisonment would reverse your progress.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  6921.  
  6922.  
  6923.  
  6924. &lt;p&gt;Lupton was ordered to pay costs of £1,000 and compensation of £7,835. &lt;/p&gt;
  6925.  
  6926.  
  6927.  
  6928. &lt;p&gt;She was handed two years&amp;#8217; imprisonment, suspended for two years and was given a restraining order to stay away from Lee.&lt;/p&gt;
  6929.  
  6930.  
  6931.  
  6932. &lt;p&gt;In addition, Lupton has been banned from the village of Freshwater indefinitely. &lt;/p&gt;

  7010. &lt;p&gt;After Two-Tier Keir, we now have Two-Tear Rachel.&lt;/p&gt;
  7011.  
  7012.  
  7013.  
  7014. &lt;p&gt;As those tears rolled down her cheeks, the Chancellor prompted feverish speculation about the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35672155/chancellor-rachel-reeves-tears-pmqs-labour-crisis-starmer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;cause of her sobs&lt;/a&gt; — wiping £3billion off the markets, pushing up government borrowing costs and devaluing the Pound into the bargain.&lt;/p&gt;
  7015.  
  7016.  
  7017.  
  7018. &lt;p&gt;Wheeled out to face the cameras yesterday, Reeves plastered on the make-up and a beaming smile to insist she had been upset about a “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35675606/keir-insists-hes-still-backing-reeves/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;personal issue&lt;/a&gt;” and had been “having a tough day” which, unlike most people’s bad days, was broadcast “on the telly” for all to see.&lt;/p&gt;
  7019.  
  7020.  
  7021.  
  7022. &lt;p&gt;We may never know the true reason behind &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35675606/keir-insists-hes-still-backing-reeves/&quot;&gt;her blubbing&lt;/a&gt;, but what we do know is that her wobbly bottom lip didn’t just wobble the markets, it also sent ­trembles through the entire Government.&lt;/p&gt;
  7023.  
  7024.  
  7025.  
  7026. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Facing a swift exit&lt;/h2&gt;
  7027.  
  7028.  
  7029.  
  7030. &lt;p&gt;There is no doubt now that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/rachel-reeves/&quot;&gt;Rachel Reeves&lt;/a&gt; is facing a swift exit from the Treasury, even if she does survive until the autumn Budget. Yet the real question mark now is not over HER future but that of her boss, the Prime Minister.&lt;/p&gt;
  7031.  
  7032.  
  7033.  
  7034. &lt;p&gt;This, after all, was supposed to be a week of celebration for Labour’s first year in office after winning a landslide victory in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/general-election/&quot;&gt;General Election&lt;/a&gt; last July.&lt;/p&gt;
  7035.  
  7036.  
  7037.  
  7038. &lt;p&gt;Instead the PM has suffered a humiliating defeat in the Commons over his ­welfare reforms at the hands of his own backbenchers and been forced to deny he plans to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35662397/rachel-reeves-in-tears-in-commons/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;sack his Chancellor&lt;/a&gt; while facing approval ratings so low that they’ve ­surfaced in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-zealand/&quot;&gt;New Zealand&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7039.  
  7040.  
  7041.  
  7042. &lt;p&gt;Some of us knew this Labour government would be bad but not many realised just how bad they would turn out to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  7043.  
  7044.  
  7045.  
  7046. &lt;p&gt;It would have been inconceivable a year ago to imagine, after being elected to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/downing-street/&quot;&gt;Downing Street&lt;/a&gt; with a whopping 411 MPs, that Starmer would be facing questions about not only his Chancellor’s future but even his own so soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  7047.  
  7048.  
  7049.  
  7050. &lt;p&gt;Even &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/britney-spears/&quot;&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/a&gt; has had longer honeymoons than this.&lt;/p&gt;

  7073.  
  7074. &lt;p&gt;And for all the PM’s claims that Reeves will be Chancellor for years to come, after months of broken promises and U-turns no one actually believes a word he says any more.&lt;/p&gt;
  7075.  
  7076.  
  7077.  
  7078. &lt;p&gt;After all, Rachel From Accounts hardly had a great start in the job. From the disastrous decision to cut &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35684445/winter-fuel-payment-pensioners-eligiblity-criteria/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;winter fuel ­payments&lt;/a&gt; to ten million pensioners to the inflation-busting pay rises for train drivers and doctors, to the revelations that her CV was full of exaggerations and her taste for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30304164/mps-free-tickets-taylor-swift-wembley/&quot;&gt;freebie tickets&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/taylor-swift/&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/a&gt; concerts, the Chancellor’s reputation has long been in tatters.&lt;/p&gt;
  7079.  
  7080.  
  7081.  
  7082. &lt;p&gt;The sight of Reeves blubbing in the Commons this week wasn’t just embarrassing for her — it embarrassed the whole country.&lt;/p&gt;
  7083.  
  7084.  
  7085.  
  7086. &lt;p&gt;And the desperate cries of “bullying!” and “sexism!” by Labour MPs are shameless coming from a party that ­happily attacked both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/margaret-thatcher/&quot;&gt;Margaret Thatcher&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/theresa-may/&quot;&gt;Theresa May&lt;/a&gt; for crying as they left office.&lt;/p&gt;
  7087.  
  7088.  
  7089.  
  7090. &lt;p&gt;If you can’t stand the heat, Rachel, get out of the Number 11 kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
  7091.

  7096. &lt;div class=&quot;article__quote-copy theme__before-color theme__after-color&quot;&gt;

  7102. &lt;!--googleon: all--&gt;
  7104.  
  7105.  
  7106.  
  7107. &lt;p&gt;The Chancellor’s claims to have had a “tough day” will fall flat with many voters who are having tough days EVERY day thanks to this Government’s policies.&lt;/p&gt;
  7108.  
  7109.  
  7110.  
  7111. &lt;p&gt;What about people struggling to pay their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bills/&quot;&gt;bills&lt;/a&gt; as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot;&gt;cost of living&lt;/a&gt; continues to rise and taxes go up? What about ­pensioners worried about putting the ­heating on last winter after Reeves took away their winter fuel allowance?&lt;/p&gt;
  7112.  
  7113.  
  7114.  
  7115. &lt;p&gt;What about the farmers who face losing their family farm thanks to the inheritance tax hike? What about the small &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; owners who have had to shut up shop after the Chancellor’s employer National Insurance rises?&lt;/p&gt;
  7116.  
  7117.  
  7118.  
  7119. &lt;p&gt;Everyone in Westminster knows that the only thing keeping Reeves in her job right now is that she acts as the PM’s human shield — someone he can blame for every mishap, every poor judgment, every U-turn and every tax rise to come in the next Budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  7120.  
  7121.  
  7122.  
  7123. &lt;p&gt;From being hailed as Labour’s greatest asset, as “the first woman Chancellor” (as if anyone cared), Reeves has quickly become the Government’s punching bag. No wonder the tears have started rolling.&lt;/p&gt;
  7124.  
  7125.  
  7126.  
  7127. &lt;p&gt;It is obvious to everyone that Rachel From Accounts is way out of her depth. But she isn’t alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  7128.  
  7129.  
  7130.  
  7131. &lt;p&gt;Starmer is also flailing around like a drowning man, desperate to blame anyone and anything else for his own failings.&lt;/p&gt;
  7132.  
  7133.  
  7134.  
  7135. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Nothing of substance­&lt;/h2&gt;
  7136.  
  7137.  
  7138.  
  7139. &lt;p&gt;Ultimately, though, everyone knows he is in charge and the buck stops with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  7140.  
  7141.  
  7142.  
  7143. &lt;p&gt;Reeves may have exposed a fatal ­weakness with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35671859/rachel-reeves-crying-commons-welfare-clemmie-moodie/&quot;&gt;her tears&lt;/a&gt;, but the past 12 months have revealed far greater failings in her boss.&lt;/p&gt;
  7144.  
  7145.  
  7146.  
  7147. &lt;p&gt;As he marks his first year in office, we now know that underneath Starmer’s shiny helmet of Brylcreemed hair, there is ­absolutely nothing of substance.&lt;/p&gt;
  7148.  
  7149.  
  7150.  
  7151. &lt;p&gt;Sir Keir has proved himself to be a Prime Minister with no ideas and no ­philosophy, no policies and no plan; a man with no backbone and no moral compass. He is a leader who cannot lead, a ­manager who cannot manage, a ­politician with no political instinct.&lt;/p&gt;
  7152.  
  7153.  
  7154.  
  7155. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Prime Minister&lt;/a&gt; is just an empty suit — and he likely didn’t even pay for the suit ­himself. He probably got Labour donor Lord Ali to buy it for him.&lt;/p&gt;
  7156.  
  7157.  
  7158.  
  7159. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/sir-keir-starmer/&quot;&gt;Starmer&lt;/a&gt; can keep telling us that his Chancellor is going nowhere but we all know her exit from the Treasury will come sooner rather than later.&lt;/p&gt;
  7160.  
  7161.  
  7162.  
  7163. &lt;p&gt;The question remains, after his damaging and chaotic first 12 months in office, can the country survive another year of this Prime Minister?&lt;/p&gt;
  7164.  
  7165.  
  7166.  
  7167. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  7168. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  7169. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;VYLAN COUNT COST OF HATE&lt;/h3&gt;
  7170. &lt;/div&gt;
  7171. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  7174. &lt;div&gt;
  7175. &lt;p&gt;WORDS have consequences, as the Left-wing cancel culture mob have cried for years as they happily ended the careers of anyone who dared to question them.&lt;/p&gt;
  7176. &lt;p&gt;Well, indeed they do for Bob Vylan, the punk-rap duo from the mean streets of Ipswich, who led chants of “Death, death to the IDF” and ranted about “f***ing Zionists” during their Glastonbury performance as it was live-streamed on the BBC iPlayer.&lt;/p&gt;
  7177. &lt;p&gt;Not only do they now face a criminal investigation over their antisemitic chants, they’ve been dropped by their management, seen visas for a US tour revoked, and UK gigs have been cancelled. Oops.&lt;/p&gt;
  7178. &lt;p&gt;There have been consequences too for the BBC, where institutional antisemitism is now so part and parcel of the corporation’s culture that, no one – not even the Director General Tim Davie – could spot the obvious anti-Jew hatred in those chants and shut down the live feed from public view.&lt;/p&gt;
  7179. &lt;p&gt;Now the BBC has said it will no longer live-broadcast “high risk” performances and staff may face disciplinary action for any failures. As Bob Vylan face the fallout from their “music” hate-fest, they should learn a lesson from another Glasto performer.&lt;/p&gt;
  7180. &lt;p&gt;As Rod Stewart proved, there’s a lot more longevity in showbiz for entertainers who show musical talent than there is for those spewing vile torrents of hate. Oh yes, and a bevy of beautiful leggy blonde backing singers helps too.&lt;/p&gt;
  7181. &lt;/div&gt;
  7182. &lt;/div&gt;

  7246. &lt;p&gt;But the former German &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/fbi/&quot;&gt;FBI&lt;/a&gt; agent has now emailed prosecutors pleading she has &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34017320/maddie-mccann-suspect-brueckner-court/&quot;&gt;made a “mistake”&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; and begged for the funds to be returned to her.&lt;/p&gt;
  7247.  
  7248.  
  7249.  
  7250. &lt;p&gt;Officials are taking the request seriously and were last night looking at how the funds could be sent back.&lt;/p&gt;
  7251.

  7266. &lt;p&gt;If they succeed it would secure crucial extra time for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35337925/madeleine-mccann-evidence-portugal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;McCann investigators&lt;/a&gt; before their prime suspect walks free.&lt;/p&gt;
  7267.

  7269.  
  7270. &lt;p&gt;Reports in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/germany/&quot;&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt; said: “In an email to the Braunschweig Public Prosecutor&amp;#8217;s Office, the former BKA employee is now demanding repayment of the &lt;span id=&quot;3dbab218-03c4-4ad2-87e2-9f9014e87247&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7271.  
  7272.  
  7273.  
  7274. &lt;p&gt;“She stated that she was unaware that Christian B. had been convicted in previous cases, including forgery.”&lt;/p&gt;
  7275.  
  7276.  
  7277.  
  7278. &lt;p&gt;The ex-cop is said to have told officials: &amp;#8220;I therefore wish to contest my declaration of intent to repay the payment and invalidate the legal transaction accordingly.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7279.  
  7280.  
  7281.  
  7282. &lt;p&gt;The payment cleared a 2016 Helmstedt District &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;Court&lt;/a&gt; fine for drunkenness in traffic and forgery of documents and a 2017 Braunschweig court levy for assault.&lt;/p&gt;
  7283.  
  7284.  
  7285.  
  7286. &lt;p&gt;Before the ex-cop paid the fine, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35231721/madeleine-mccann-christian-bruekner-search-live-updates/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;convicted paedophile Breuckner&lt;/a&gt; had only been able to pay £210 of the total and faced being kept behind bars until late January.&lt;/p&gt;
  7287.  
  7288.  
  7289.  
  7290. &lt;p&gt;The fine-payer insists she had &amp;#8220;never had personal contact with Christian B.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  7314. &lt;p&gt;Maddie prosecutors said it was investigating &amp;#8220;the extent to which the payment received in the criminal case against Christian B. can actually be credited toward the fine imposed there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7315.  
  7316.  
  7317.  
  7318. &lt;p&gt;It stated that it had found evidence &amp;#8220;that the payment was made by mistake.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7319.  
  7320.  
  7321.  
  7322. &lt;p&gt;Brueckner will now walk free when his sentence for raping an American woman, 72, in Praia da Luz, in 2005, ends.&lt;/p&gt;
  7323.  
  7324.  
  7325.  
  7326. &lt;p&gt;He has been named publicly as the prime suspect over the May 3 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/madeleine-mccann/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;2007 disappearance of Maddie,&lt;/a&gt; of Rothley, Leics., since 2020 but never been charged.&lt;/p&gt;
  7327.  
  7328.  
  7329.  
  7330. &lt;p&gt;He has used letters to deny the claims but has refused to answer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; questions or provide an alibi.&lt;/p&gt;
  7331.  
  7332.  
  7333.  
  7334. &lt;p&gt;His phone was in Praia da Luz on the night Madeleine vanished and made a 30-minute call from the area. &lt;/p&gt;
  7335.  
  7336.  
  7337.  
  7338. &lt;p&gt;His &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jaguar/&quot;&gt;Jaguar&lt;/a&gt; was re-registered into a name the day after the disappearance.&lt;/p&gt;
  7339.

  7342. &lt;p&gt;A Sun &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/investigation/&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/a&gt; this year revealed bombshell new evidence &amp;#8211; including Brueckner’s obsession with snatching and abusing small, young, blonde girls.&lt;/p&gt;

  7355.  
  7356.  
  7357.  
  7358. &lt;p&gt;We also placed him at key police locations of interest, including a lake where cops dug for evidence.&lt;/p&gt;
  7359.  
  7360.  
  7361.  
  7362. &lt;p&gt;And we showed evidence he was at the scene of an al-but-confession when he allegedly said Maddie “did not scream,” in 2008.&lt;br data-rich-text-line-break=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Our probe &amp;#8211; aired on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-4/&quot;&gt;Channel 4&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; revealed the existence of a hard-drive and laptop containing crucial picture evidence on the case.&lt;/p&gt;
  7363.  
  7364.  
  7365.  
  7366. &lt;p&gt;Police maintain they have physical evidence Maddie is dead &amp;#8211; but no forensic links.&lt;/p&gt;
  7367.  
  7368.  
  7369.  
  7370. &lt;p&gt;German police have recently stressed the value UK authorities could provide by getting involved in the case again before Brueckner’s release.&lt;/p&gt;
  7371.  
  7372.  
  7373.  
  7374. &lt;p&gt;He has refused to rule out leaving &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/germany/&quot;&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt; and insisted he will go to ground on his release.&lt;/p&gt;
  7375.  
  7376.  
  7377.  
  7378. &lt;p&gt;If he travelled to a non-extradition country all hopes for McCann justice could disappear with him.&lt;/p&gt;

  7391. &lt;p&gt;Madeleine McCann disappears&amp;nbsp;from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, sparking a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34529693/madeleine-mccann-probe-funding-missing-person/&quot;&gt;massive police search&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and becoming one of the most famous missing persons cases in history.&lt;/p&gt;
  7392. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 15, 2016&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7393. &lt;p&gt;Neighbour reports a possible ‘grave’ at Brueckner’s abandoned factory in East Germany.&lt;/p&gt;
  7394. &lt;p&gt;Cops find disturbing&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12269704/madeleine-mccann-christian-usb-child-abuse-images-dog/&quot;&gt;images on USB sticks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and launch a full-scale search.&lt;/p&gt;
  7395. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 16, 2016&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7396. &lt;p&gt;Christian Brueckner&amp;nbsp;is convicted for abusing a girl of five in a park after images found on his laptop.&lt;/p&gt;
  7397. &lt;p&gt;He was sentenced to 15-months behind bars but was already on the run by then.&lt;/p&gt;
  7398. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 3, 2017&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7399. &lt;p&gt;Around this time,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25545584/madeleine-mccann-breakthrough-witness-christian-b/&quot;&gt;Helge B&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;calls an information hotline after watching a ten-year anniversary special on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.&lt;/p&gt;
  7400. &lt;p&gt;He reports an alleged confession by Christian Brueckner.&lt;/p&gt;
  7401. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 27, 2018&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7402. &lt;p&gt;On-the-run Christian Brueckner is arrested over outstanding drugs claims in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
  7403. &lt;p&gt;He is extradited to Germany the following year.&lt;/p&gt;
  7404. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;December 16, 2019&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7405. &lt;p&gt;Christian Brueckner was convicted, in Germany, for the 2005 rape of an American woman in Praia da Luz, Portugal, after his DNA was matched to a hair found on her bed.&lt;/p&gt;
  7406. &lt;p&gt;He was sentenced to seven years behind bars.&lt;/p&gt;
  7407. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 4, 2020&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7408. &lt;p&gt;German prosecutors reveal to the world they have a suspect in custody under investigation for the abduction of Madeleine McCann.&lt;/p&gt;
  7409. &lt;p&gt;For the first time they claim&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12094689/madeleine-mccann-detectives-fundamental-evidence-dead/&quot;&gt;Madeleine is dead&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7410. &lt;p&gt;German media later name him as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11778199/madeleine-mccann-suspect-christian-b-investigation/&quot;&gt;Christian B (Christian Brueckner)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7411. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 23, 2023&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7412. &lt;p&gt;In his first interview, witness Helge B alleges to German newspaper Bild that Christian Brueckner all-but-confessed the Madeleine abduction to him, by allegedly saying “she didn’t scream” as they talked about the case, at a music festival, in Spain.&lt;/p&gt;
  7413. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;February 16, 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7414. &lt;p&gt;Brueckner goes on trial accused of none-McCann allegations of rape and sex assault, in Braunschweig, Germany.&lt;/p&gt;
  7415. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutors hope for a conviction to keep him behind bars permanently and lead to McCann charges.&lt;/p&gt;
  7416. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 8, 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7417. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30925997/madeleine-mccann-suspect-christian-brueckner-cleared/&quot;&gt;Brueckner was acquitted of all claims&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  7418. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutors launch an appeal, however. Decision pending.&lt;/p&gt;
  7419. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 17, 2025&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7420. &lt;p&gt;Date on which&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34000309/madeleine-mccann-update-cops-rush-charge-christian-brueckner/&quot;&gt;Christian Brueckner will be released&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from custody without action being taken.&lt;/p&gt;
  7421. &lt;p&gt;Prosecutors require an arrest warrant for a retrial over claims from last year &amp;#8211; or over the McCann case.&lt;/p&gt;
  7422. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 1, 2025&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  7423. &lt;p&gt;Police order a renewed search for clues in Praia Da Luz on the Algarve in Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;
  7424. &lt;p&gt;It lasts for just three days.&lt;/p&gt;
  7425. &lt;/div&gt;

  7508.  
  7509.  
  7510.  
  7511. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was in bad shape, man. You could tell he was drinking and he was all messed up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  7512.

  7606.  
  7607.  
  7608.  
  7609. &lt;p&gt;In January 2022, his son &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/17430499/michael-madsen-son-dead-suicide-hawaii/&quot;&gt;Hudson Madsen tragically died by suicide&lt;/a&gt; at the age of 26.

  7626. &lt;div&gt;
  7627. &lt;p&gt;He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother—etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark.&lt;/p&gt;
  7628. &lt;p&gt;We’re not mourning a public figure. We’re not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart. Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes—gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable—half legend, half lullaby.&lt;/p&gt;
  7629. &lt;p&gt;I’ll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I’ll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother.&lt;/p&gt;
  7630. &lt;p&gt;Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we’ll share how we plan to celebrate his life—but for now, we stay close, and let the silence say what words can’t.&lt;/p&gt;

  7639. &lt;p&gt;Shortly after the arrest, he filed for divorce from his wife. &lt;/p&gt;
  7640.  
  7641.  
  7642.  
  7643. &lt;p&gt;However, just weeks later, Madsen stated that he had no intention of going through with the divorce.&lt;/p&gt;
  7644.  
  7645.  
  7646.  
  7647. &lt;p&gt;In an Instagram post, Madsen clarified that his wife had no involvement in Hudson’s death, despite claims made in his divorce filings.&lt;/p&gt;
  7648.  
  7649.  
  7650.  
  7651. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Losing a child is the hardest and most painful experience that can happen in this world,&amp;#8221; he&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/DBT7w2pvtGK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;amp;igsh=aGc1YXpiOXdsejA0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;at the time.&lt;/p&gt;

  7657.

  8010.  
  8011.  
  8012.  
  8013. &lt;p&gt;We see our heroes as indestructible, and the striker Jota was no exception.&lt;/p&gt;
  8014.  
  8015.  
  8016.  
  8017. &lt;p&gt;He regularly worked miracles.&lt;/p&gt;
  8018.  
  8019.  
  8020.  
  8021. &lt;p&gt;His final goal for Liverpool confirmed his legendary status: a late winner to push his team closer to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34620445/liverpool-win-premier-league-title-live-updates/#:~:text=Liverpool%20win%20Premier%20League%20LIVE,ensue%20%2D%20latest%20updates%20%7C%20The%20Sun&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;that 20th league title.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8030.  
  8031.  
  8032.  
  8033. &lt;p&gt;Goals don’t come much bigger than that. Jota the Slotter’s crucial strikes earned him the ultimate badge of honour — his own song from adoring Kopites.&lt;/p&gt;
  8034.  
  8035.  
  8036.  
  8037. &lt;p&gt;Even when on the bench, the crowd would bellow it out to the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s hit Bad Moon Rising.&lt;/p&gt;
  8038.  
  8039.  
  8040.  
  8041. &lt;p&gt;“He’s a lad from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/portugal/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Portugal&lt;/a&gt;; better than &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/luis-figo/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Figo&lt;/a&gt;, don’t you know; Oh, his name is Diogo.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8042.

  8044.  
  8045. &lt;p&gt;Barely a month ago, I was among a record 1.5million who saw him and his teammates parade the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; trophy through Liverpool on an open-top bus.&lt;/p&gt;
  8046.  
  8047.  
  8048.  
  8049. &lt;p&gt;It turned into a harrowing day when a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35125385/man-arrested-car-hits-crowd-liverpool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;motorist drove into a crowd, injuring 109.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8073. &lt;p&gt;Two weeks after that day of triumph and horror, Jota lifted the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/uefa-nations-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;UEFA Nations League&lt;/a&gt; trophy with Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8074.  
  8075.  
  8076.  
  8077. &lt;p&gt;And only ten days ago he married his sweetheart Rute, mother of his three young children.&lt;/p&gt;
  8078.  
  8079.  
  8080.  
  8081. &lt;p&gt;Our grief as fans cannot begin to compare with the pain felt by the Jota family, who have lost not only Diogo but his younger brother, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35676780/who-was-diogo-jota-brother-andre-silva/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Andre&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  8097.  
  8098.  
  8099.  
  8100. &lt;p&gt;Over decades as a Liverpool fan, I’ve stood many times in silent tribute to Kop legends &amp;#8211; from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6825504/how-long-did-bill-shankly-manage-liverpool-which-trophies-did-he-win-and-when-did-he-die/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bill Shankly&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30307967/ron-yeats-dead-liverpool-alzheimers/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ron Yeats&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/13470418/gerard-houllier-dead-liverpool/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gerard Houllier&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16897138/ray-kennedy-dead-liverpool-parkinsons-tribute/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ray Kennedy.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  8105.  
  8106.  
  8107.  
  8108. &lt;p&gt;But there will be an added poignancy when Diogo is honoured as he enters the pantheon of lost legends at the age of just 28.&lt;/p&gt;
  8109.  
  8110.  
  8111.  
  8112. &lt;p&gt;I suspect the club will retire the Number 20 he wore as a mark of respect.&lt;/p&gt;
  8113.  
  8114.  
  8115.  
  8116. &lt;p&gt;But his song will echo on the Kop into eternity.&lt;/p&gt;

  8481. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/david-wooding/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;David Wooding&lt;/a&gt;, Lifelong Liverpool fan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8482. &lt;p&gt;IT’S always a great sadness to lose a football legend, but truly devastating to see one cut down in their prime.&lt;/p&gt;
  8483. &lt;p&gt;Diogo Jota’s untimely death is an incomprehensible shock to the global army of Reds fans who worshipped him.&lt;/p&gt;
  8484. &lt;p&gt;We see our heroes as indestructible, and miracle-worker striker Jota was no exception.&lt;/p&gt;
  8485. &lt;p&gt;His final goal for Liverpool confirmed his legendary status: a late winner to push his team closer to that 20th league title.&lt;/p&gt;
  8486. &lt;p&gt;At the Kop end.&lt;/p&gt;
  8487. &lt;p&gt;In a Merseyside derby.&lt;/p&gt;
  8488. &lt;p&gt;Goals don’t come much bigger than that.&lt;/p&gt;
  8489. &lt;p&gt;Jota the Slotter’s crucial strikes earned him the ultimate badge of honour — his own song.&lt;/p&gt;
  8490. &lt;p&gt;Even when he was on the bench, the crowd would bellow: “He’s a lad from Portugal; better than Figo, don’t you know; Oh, his name is Diogo” — to the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s hit Bad Moon Rising.&lt;/p&gt;
  8491. &lt;p&gt;Barely a month ago, I was among the 1.5million who saw Jota and his team-mates parade the Premier League trophy through Liverpool.&lt;/p&gt;
  8492. &lt;p&gt;It turned into a harrowing day when a motorist drove into a crowd, injuring 109.&lt;/p&gt;
  8493. &lt;p&gt;Two weeks later, he lifted the Uefa Nations League trophy with Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;
  8494. &lt;p&gt;Just 12 days ago, he married his sweetheart Rute — mother of his three young children.&lt;/p&gt;
  8495. &lt;p&gt;I’m sure Liverpool FC and the fans will ensure the family never walk alone.&lt;/p&gt;
  8496. &lt;p&gt;I suspect the club will retire the No20 he wore out of respect and his song will echo on the Kop into eternity.&lt;/p&gt;
  8497. &lt;/div&gt;
  8498. &lt;/div&gt;

  8541. &lt;p&gt;The dad of three reckons the powdered flavouring left his gums burnt and swollen.&lt;/p&gt;
  8542.  
  8543.  
  8544.  
  8545. &lt;p&gt;Gavin said: “If that had been my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/parenting/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;child&lt;/a&gt; eating these, God only knows what would have happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  8546.  
  8547.  
  8548.  
  8549. &lt;p&gt;“They are young, so when there are crisps going around I always share with them. It was lucky I was at the office.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8550.  
  8551.  
  8552.  
  8553. &lt;p&gt;The tech sales adviser, of Saffron Walden, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/essex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Essex&lt;/a&gt;, feared he could have swallowed the scalding powder and ruined his voice, saying: “Had that gone to my throat, I probably wouldn’t be able to talk now.&lt;/p&gt;
  8554.  
  8555.  
  8556.  
  8557. &lt;p&gt;“I’m a tech sales adviser, I need my voice. But when it hit my mouth, I pushed it to one side of my cheek, where it burned. It was so intense.&lt;/p&gt;
  8558.  
  8559.  
  8560.  
  8561. &lt;p&gt;“I had to instantly rush to the nearest sink in the ­bathroom.”&lt;/p&gt;
  8562.  
  8563.  
  8564.  
  8565. &lt;p&gt;He said his gum turned white and claims he still has a scar in his mouth three months later.&lt;/p&gt;
  8566.  
  8567.  
  8568.  
  8569. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35559590/crisps-brand-is-bringing-back-discontinued-flavour/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;KP Snacks&lt;/a&gt;, which makes the retro brand, offered him £15 in vouchers after admitting the flavour was “quite powerful”.&lt;/p&gt;
  8570.  
  8571.  
  8572.  
  8573. &lt;p&gt;But Gavin claims they are virtually worthless, as only a few stores can accept them, “adding insult to injury”.&lt;/p&gt;
  8574.  
  8575.  
  8576.  
  8577. &lt;p&gt;KP said: “We know our Salt &amp;amp; Vinegar Discos &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35642591/seabrook-crisps-returning-morrisons-calbee/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;crisps&lt;/a&gt; pack a punch — that bold flavour is exactly why fans love them.&lt;/p&gt;

  8693. &lt;p&gt;The country is slowly waking up to the fact that a Prime Minister &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nigel-farage/&quot;&gt;Farage&lt;/a&gt; — once unthinkable — is now a very real prospect.&lt;/p&gt;

  8701. &lt;p&gt;Does the man once derided as leading a fringe rabble of “fruitcakes and loonies” really have what it takes to lead a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/g7/&quot;&gt;G7&lt;/a&gt; nation?&lt;/p&gt;
  8702.  
  8703.  
  8704.  
  8705. &lt;p&gt;“Yeah I do, I really do,” he tells me bluntly. “I’ve got more breadth of life experience than anyone who&amp;#8217;s done that job in recent times. I’ve lived in the real world.&lt;/p&gt;
  8706.  
  8707.  
  8708.

  8824.  
  8825.  
  8826.  
  8827. &lt;p&gt;Because despite the polls, there is a school of thought in Westminster — clung to by Labour and the Tories — that when push comes to shove, voters would just not trust him to be PM.&lt;/p&gt;
  8828.  
  8829.  
  8830.  
  8831. &lt;p&gt;I cast his mind back to his days leading &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/ukip/&quot;&gt;Ukip&lt;/a&gt;, the anti-EU party that would triumph in European elections but crash in the General.&lt;/p&gt;
  8832.  
  8833.  
  8834.  
  8835. &lt;p&gt;Farage has mixed feelings about his former tribe. On the one hand, he says it will go down as the “most successful political party in history” for bringing about &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/brexit/&quot;&gt;Brexit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  8836.  
  8837.  
  8838.  
  8839. &lt;p&gt;But he is also frank that it never stood a chance of taking power, lacking the professionalism that is now the watchword at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/reform-uk/&quot;&gt;Reform&lt;/a&gt; HQ.&lt;/p&gt;
  8840.

  8888.  
  8889.

  8921.  
  8922.  
  8923.  
  8924. &lt;p&gt;And how would he end the scourge of two-tier justice he rails against?&lt;/p&gt;
  8925.  
  8926.  
  8927.  
  8928. &lt;p&gt;“Not having the European Convention on Human Rights written into British &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/law/&quot;&gt;law&lt;/a&gt; which distorts everything. And number two, having a judiciary that is neutral.”&lt;/p&gt;

  8932. &lt;p&gt;He says the differences in treatment between Southport tweeter Lucy Connolly and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/glastonbury/&quot;&gt;Glastonbury&lt;/a&gt; rappers Bob Vylan shows two-tier justice is “embedded”.&lt;/p&gt;

  8937.  
  8938.  
  8939.  
  8940. &lt;p&gt;He admits speaking to the US President “less”, saying contact has been “more difficult” given Trump has to deal with Starmer.&lt;/p&gt;
  8941.  
  8942.  
  8943.  
  8944. &lt;p&gt;I ask what he thinks of the leaders in this country but feel I already know the answer.&lt;/p&gt;
  8945.  
  8946.  
  8947.  
  8948. &lt;p&gt;Starmer is a “puppet” who “believes in nothing” while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/kemi-badenoch/&quot;&gt;Kemi Badenoch&lt;/a&gt; is leading a “finished” party.&lt;/p&gt;

  8953.

  9010. &lt;p&gt;AT first glance, it looks like just another white van parked up by the side of the road.&lt;/p&gt;
  9011.  
  9012.  
  9013.  
  9014. &lt;p&gt;But the unremarkable Iveco truck is a secret weapon for cops in their drive to nail dangerous fugitives.&lt;/p&gt;
  9015.

  9027.  
  9028.  
  9029.  
  9030. &lt;p&gt;Covered in cameras, it houses a bank of screens and hi-tech ­computer equipment — the centrepiece of a Met &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; Live Facial Recognition (LFR) deployment.&lt;/p&gt;
  9031.  
  9032.  
  9033.  
  9034. &lt;p&gt;And it plays a crucial role in safeguarding children and the ­vulnerable from sex offenders, ­stalkers and violent &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;criminals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9035.  
  9036.  
  9037.  
  9038. &lt;p&gt;Seven cameras perched on top of the vehicle constantly scan the pedestrians walking by — feeding the images into a computer which flags up suspects wanted by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;cops&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9039.  
  9040.  
  9041.  
  9042. &lt;p&gt;It also looks out for people on the run or subject to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court-2/&quot;&gt;court&lt;/a&gt; orders for a range of offences, including sex crimes, to ensure they have not committed any breach.&lt;/p&gt;
  9043.  
  9044.  
  9045.  
  9046. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Known haunts&lt;/h2&gt;
  9047.  
  9048.  
  9049.  
  9050. &lt;p&gt;The Sun joined a Met Live &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31245640/facial-recognition-cameras-monitor-released-prisoners/&quot;&gt;Facial Recognition &lt;/a&gt;team on a deployment close to Upton Park station in ­London’s East End — and I got to test out the kit.&lt;/p&gt;
  9051.  
  9052.  
  9053.  
  9054. &lt;p&gt;I handed over a copy of my Press card featuring my grisly mug, which was fed into the database alongside 16,000 genuine custody images of wanted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;criminals&lt;/a&gt; and those subject to court orders.&lt;/p&gt;
  9055.  
  9056.  
  9057.  
  9058. &lt;p&gt;It means that when I later come into view of the truck’s cameras, alerts inside start going off like a pinball machine.&lt;/p&gt;
  9059.  
  9060.  
  9061.  
  9062. &lt;p&gt;My features registered a high score on the biometrics system, which works using facial measurements. Happily, the cops inside knew it was all for my report.&lt;/p&gt;
  9063.  
  9064.  
  9065.  
  9066. &lt;p&gt;Met Central Ops director Lindsey Chiswick says: “If you’re not subject to a current order or wanted for a criminal offence, then the tech will ignore you. It is taking some really dangerous people off the streets.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9067.  
  9068.  
  9069.  
  9070. &lt;p&gt;The LFR van at Upton Park was sitting close to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/greggs/&quot;&gt;Greggs&lt;/a&gt; bakery — a famous target for shoplifters. One officer told me: “Businesses love to see us turn up. Nobody will be shoplifting at Greggs here today.”&lt;/p&gt;

  9091.  
  9092.  
  9093.  
  9094. &lt;p&gt;New stats released today show 1,035 wanted criminals were arrested by the Met between January 1 and June 20 thanks to this new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/30731964/facial-recognition-replace-keys-passports-tickets/&quot;&gt;facial recognition kit.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9095.  
  9096.  
  9097.  
  9098. &lt;p&gt;They included more than 100 offenders who carried out serious acts of violence such as rape, stalking and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/domestic-abuse/&quot;&gt;domestic abuse&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9099.  
  9100.  
  9101.  
  9102. &lt;p&gt;Some 93 of them were registered sex offenders, including David ­Cheneler, 73, who was lagged up by LFR in Denmark Hill, South ­London, in January while walking with a six-year-old girl.&lt;/p&gt;
  9103.  
  9104.  
  9105.  
  9106. &lt;p&gt;Cheneler, who was jailed for nine years in 2019 for offences against children, had befriended the girl’s mother on his release from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/prison/&quot;&gt;prison&lt;/a&gt; and offered to pick the youngster up from school as a “favour”.&lt;/p&gt;
  9107.  
  9108.  
  9109.  
  9110. &lt;p&gt;The mum had no idea of his appalling history.&lt;/p&gt;

  9119.  
  9120.  
  9121.  
  9122. &lt;p&gt;Cheneler was found to have a knife when stopped by the LFR team — and checks revealed that he was in breach of a ­Sexual Offences Prevention Order stopping him from being alone with a child under 14.&lt;/p&gt;
  9123.  
  9124.  
  9125.  
  9126. &lt;p&gt;The paedophile, from Lewisham, South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;, was sentenced to two years at Kingston Crown Court in May after admitting breaching the terms of his order and possessing an offensive weapon.&lt;/p&gt;
  9127.  
  9128.  
  9129.  
  9130. &lt;p&gt;Lindsey Chiswick says: “The tech flagged him up.&lt;/p&gt;
  9131.  
  9132.  
  9133.  
  9134. &lt;p&gt;“Without it, Cheneler would still be walking the streets.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9135.  
  9136.  
  9137.  
  9138. &lt;p&gt;A violent robber who targeted a Rolex &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/watches/&quot;&gt;watch&lt;/a&gt;, 22-year-old Adenola Akindutrie, had false ID documents and used a fake Irish accent on cops when he was flagged up by LFR in Stratford, East &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;, in April.&lt;/p&gt;

  9155. &lt;p&gt;He was arrested and fingerprints proved his identity. The villain is now behind bars awaiting sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  9156.  
  9157.  
  9158.  
  9159. &lt;p&gt;Shoplifter Darren Dubarry, 50, was also caught on camera in May because he was wanted for theft — and found to be in possession of designer clothing he had stolen that same day.&lt;/p&gt;
  9160.  
  9161.  
  9162.  
  9163. &lt;p&gt;Eight arrests were made during the Upton Park deployment attended by The Sun last month, with 14 people stopped in total.&lt;/p&gt;
  9164.  
  9165.  
  9166.  
  9167. &lt;p&gt;A second LFR team operating that day in Tooting, South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;, made two arrests.&lt;/p&gt;
  9168.  
  9169.

  9171. &lt;p&gt;The NeoFace system checks 28 facial measurements, including eyes, nose, mouth and head size.&lt;/p&gt;

  9176.  
  9177.  
  9178.  
  9179. &lt;p&gt;Each person is given a score, and the threshold for an alert is ­anything over 0.64. After I had my image added to the system, it clocked me instantly and I scored 1.47.&lt;/p&gt;
  9180.  
  9181.  
  9182.  
  9183. &lt;p&gt;If a person is of no interest, then the pixelated image caught on LFR is immediately deleted.&lt;/p&gt;
  9184.  
  9185.  
  9186.  
  9187. &lt;p&gt;Even though the vans themselves are inconspicuous, LFR vehicles have a sign on the back saying Live &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34607451/asda-tracks-shoppers/&quot;&gt;Facial Recognition&lt;/a&gt; in operation — and there are warning notices at either end of the recognition zones.&lt;/p&gt;
  9188.  
  9189.  
  9190.  
  9191. &lt;p&gt;If someone flags up on the ­system, an alarm in the vehicle is activated and the person is pulled aside. Sunglasses and baseball caps are no barrier to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/technology/&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9192.  
  9193.  
  9194.  
  9195. &lt;p&gt;And if you are wanted for an offence and hoping fat jabs may have changed your features, then forget it. You will still be spotted.&lt;/p&gt;
  9196.  
  9197.  
  9198.  
  9199. &lt;p&gt;In general, around one in five of those serving protection orders is found to be in breach of their ­conditions and arrested on the spot.&lt;/p&gt;
  9200.  
  9201.  
  9202.  
  9203. &lt;p&gt;Intelligence reports on those stopped but not in breach go to offender managers to make them aware of the criminals’ movements.&lt;/p&gt;

  9220. &lt;p&gt;The list of 16,000 subjects of interest in Upton Park is based on reports of their known haunts.&lt;/p&gt;
  9221.  
  9222.  
  9223.  
  9224. &lt;p&gt;An officer on the team, says: “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crime/&quot;&gt;Criminals&lt;/a&gt; are transient, but it’s possible some of the 16,000 could be in the area.&lt;/p&gt;
  9225.  
  9226.  
  9227.  
  9228. &lt;p&gt;“Some of the custody images might be five years old, but we have even matched a custody image which was taken 24 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;

  9236. &lt;p&gt;The LFR system was first trialled by the Met in 2016 and by South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt; Police the following year.&lt;/p&gt;

  9244. &lt;p&gt;Freedom of information data revealed LFR scanned 4.7million faces in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196702/england/&quot;&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt; last year — twice the number in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

  9252. &lt;p&gt;Civil liberties groups have raised fears of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/big-brother/&quot;&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; era being ushered in without legal checks and balances.&lt;/p&gt;

  9280.  
  9281.  
  9282.  
  9283.  
  9284. &lt;p&gt;WE have become a nation of sensible drinkers — with more than three-quarters cutting back on the amount of boozing we do.&lt;/p&gt;
  9285.  
  9286.  
  9287.  
  9288. &lt;p&gt;Some 76 per cent of over 18s — equivalent to nearly 40million adults — admitted they were careful about how much &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/alcohol/&quot;&gt;alcohol&lt;/a&gt; they knocked back, a survey found.&lt;/p&gt;
  9289.  
  9290.  
  9291.  
  9292. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35686083&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/group-young-people-dining-party-994326672.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Friends toasting beer at an outdoor restaurant.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35686083&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;571&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;76% of over-18s said they were careful about how much booze they drank[/caption]
  9293.  
  9294.  
  9295.  
  9296. &lt;p&gt;And more than a third (34 per cent) alternate between low and no-alcohol drinks and alcoholic tipples when they go out, a trend known as zebra striping.&lt;/p&gt;
  9297.  
  9298.  
  9299.  
  9300. &lt;p&gt;That was up from 28 per cent a year ago, while 36 per cent said they thought it was less acceptable for their pals to get drunk on a night out.&lt;/p&gt;
  9301.  
  9302.  
  9303.  
  9304. &lt;p&gt;One in three pub visits are now totally booze-free, with a quarter of those surveyed choosing to finish off the night with a soft drink.&lt;/p&gt;
  9305.  
  9306.  
  9307.  
  9308. &lt;p&gt;The trend is a far cry from the traditional image of beer-swilling booze hounds sinking as many pints as possible before last orders.&lt;/p&gt;
  9309.  
  9310.  
  9311.  
  9312. &lt;p&gt;More than eight in ten (82 per cent) cited their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/health/&quot;&gt;health&lt;/a&gt; as the main reason for being more responsible around ­alcohol — rising to 90 per cent among under 35s.&lt;/p&gt;
  9313.  
  9314.  
  9315.  
  9316. &lt;p&gt;Four in ten drinks consumed on a night out are now low or no-alcohol, and they are the second most popular choice at the bar — up from seventh place last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  9317.  
  9318.  
  9319.  
  9320. &lt;p&gt;Almost two in five, some 37 per cent, admitted they went home early in a huff over the lack of low-alcohol options down the pub. &lt;/p&gt;
  9321.  
  9322.  
  9323.  
  9324. &lt;p&gt;More than three in ten (35 per cent) expect &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pubs/&quot;&gt;pubs&lt;/a&gt; to offer alcohol-free beer on draught.&lt;/p&gt;
  9325.  
  9326.  
  9327.  
  9328. &lt;p&gt;And three in five people (59 per cent) said there was less stigma attached to choosing alcohol-free beverages than there used to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  9329.  
  9330.  
  9331.  
  9332. &lt;p&gt;The poll was carried out by hospitality industry researchers at KAM and alcohol-free brand Lucky Saint.&lt;/p&gt;

  9356. &lt;p&gt;Pub trade newspaper the Morning Advertiser, which published the findings, said: “More than three-quarters of UK adults are moderating their alcohol consumption, according to new research.&lt;/p&gt;
  9357.  
  9358.  
  9359.

  9395.  
  9396.  
  9397.  
  9398. &lt;p&gt;And this year we seem to be revisiting the ’80s with super-high-cut bikini lines sure to leave you needing a &lt;span id=&quot;bb2965bf-cc24-4871-a0ab-3888dcdc58bd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Hollywood&lt;/span&gt; wax.&lt;/p&gt;

  9407.  
  9408.  
  9409.  
  9410. &lt;p&gt;First made famous in that decade by supermodels such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/cindy-crawford/&quot;&gt;Cindy Crawford&lt;/a&gt;, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington, wedgie- inducing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/swimwear/&quot;&gt;swimwear&lt;/a&gt; is back.&lt;/p&gt;
  9411.  
  9412.  
  9413.  
  9414. &lt;p&gt;And this time round, it’s not just for celebs and reality telly stars &amp;#8211; the high street is pushing us mere mortals to tackle thin gussets, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  9415.  
  9416.  
  9417.  
  9418. &lt;p&gt;Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&amp;amp;S to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-look/&quot;&gt;New Look&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/primark/&quot;&gt;Primark&lt;/a&gt;, has hip-high cuts and bum-cheek-exposing cossies.&lt;/p&gt;
  9419.  
  9420.  
  9421.  
  9422. &lt;p&gt;With &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; back on our screens and the women scantily clad in swimwear every episode, we expected to see a resurgence of the V-cut gusset.&lt;/p&gt;
  9423.  
  9424.  
  9425.  
  9426. &lt;p&gt;And last week &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/kim-kardashian/&quot;&gt;Kim Kardashian&lt;/a&gt;, 44, unveiled her latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/skims/&quot;&gt;Skims&lt;/a&gt; collaboration with Italian brand Roberto Cavalli, featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece. &lt;/p&gt;
  9427.  
  9428.  
  9429.  
  9430. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, sister Kylie, 27, stepped out in a vintage Chanel swimsuit, with a sky-high cut, first worn by Claudia Schiffer in 1995.&lt;/p&gt;
  9431.  
  9432.  
  9433.  
  9434. &lt;p&gt;Just a few weeks ago &lt;span id=&quot;b6f05186-c0b3-4ae7-b5a4-1f869cb17000&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Miami&lt;/span&gt; Swim Week — the pinnacle of all swimsuit catwalks — saw a host of high V cuts, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt; sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini.&lt;/p&gt;
  9435.  
  9436.  
  9437.  
  9438. &lt;p&gt;Model Iris &lt;span id=&quot;3219af38-7cdf-4ca3-bd9e-f42cc507ac0a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Law&lt;/span&gt;, 24, recently wore a black high-cut swimsuit, and ­former Love Islanders &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/maura-higgins/&quot;&gt;Maura Higgins&lt;/a&gt;, 34 and &lt;span id=&quot;a7720c33-901e-433d-876b-b5aeb28e9162&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Zara&lt;/span&gt; McDermott, 28, have been showing off their svelte figures in them, too.&lt;/p&gt;
  9439.  
  9440.  
  9441.  
  9442. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Gusset gauge&lt;/h2&gt;

  9446. &lt;p&gt;Host of the reality show &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/maya-jama/&quot;&gt;Maya Jama&lt;/a&gt;, 30, has also been spotted wearing a barely-there bikini while on holiday this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  9447.  
  9448.  
  9449.  
  9450. &lt;p&gt;Of course, these women all looked phenomenal, but for the rest of us enjoying a break on the Costa Del Sol or taking a dip at the local &lt;span id=&quot;04b5a223-2687-46f1-94b7-66449f8b9727&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;swimming&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;710214d2-c92d-4fe1-8664-0e970b918917&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pool&lt;/span&gt;, it’s not an easy look to pull off.&lt;/p&gt;

  9474. &lt;p&gt;Aside from the obvious extremely bare bikini line you need to have, there’s also the probability you’ll spend all your holiday sorting out your wedgie, or even worse a flash of some flesh you definitely don’t want strangers to see.&lt;/p&gt;
  9475.  
  9476.  
  9477.  
  9478. &lt;p&gt;Yes, we expect to see these flimsy cuts at Gen Z fave brands like Nasty Gal and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/river-island/&quot;&gt;River Island&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  9479.  
  9480.  
  9481.  
  9482. &lt;p&gt;But I was surprised to see M&amp;amp;S selling this type of bikini bottoms, as the brand is renowned for selling comfortable underwear, particularly big “granny”-style pants.&lt;/p&gt;
  9483.  
  9484.  
  9485.  
  9486. &lt;p&gt;It seems there is no escaping it if our sensible shops are hopping on board.&lt;/p&gt;
  9487.  
  9488.  
  9489.  
  9490. &lt;p&gt;You have to wonder why. &lt;/p&gt;
  9491.  
  9492.  
  9493.  
  9494. &lt;p&gt;There is a huge appetite for ’80s nostalgia currently, across music and fashion, and there are parallels between the economies of back then and now — both decades are characterised by economic uncertainty and fluctuating &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/inflation/&quot;&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt; rates.&lt;/p&gt;

  9510. &lt;p&gt;We know about the hemline index, but could the gusset gauge be a more accurate indicator of how consumers feel about the state of the economy?&lt;/p&gt;
  9511.  
  9512.  
  9513.  
  9514. &lt;p&gt;Whatever the reasons, there are, of course, aesthetic &lt;span id=&quot;1ff13c14-0486-4bb2-bdef-6871b6938902&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/span&gt; to high-cut swimsuits — they give the illusion of longer legs and a smaller waist.&lt;/p&gt;
  9515.  
  9516.  
  9517.  
  9518. &lt;p&gt;But if you are going to wear it, you really do need to commit to the trend — booking in for that wax and giving yourself a body-confidence pep talk, because there really is nowhere to hide.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  9547.  
  9548. &lt;p&gt;IT wasn’t just the regular plod they needed at Glastonbury this weekend – the Irony Police should’ve been in there making mass arrests as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  9549.  
  9550.  
  9551.  
  9552. &lt;p&gt;’Cos, one minute, someone calling himself Bob Vylan was leading like-minded imbeciles in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35610969/glastonbury-crowd-death-idf-chant/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;“death to the IDF” chant&lt;/a&gt;, on the Beeb’s iPlayer.&lt;/p&gt;
  9553.  
  9554.  
  9555.  
  9556. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35681722&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/bobby-vylan-british-duo-bob-1006388365_3918b3.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Bobby Vylan of British duo Bob Vylan performing at Glastonbury Festival.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35681722&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;AFP&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;These double-standards are relatively easy to laugh off, obviously, but it’s impossible to do the same with Bob Vylan[/caption]
  9557.  
  9558.  
  9559.  
  9560. &lt;p&gt;The next, singer Brandi ­Carlile was gazing out at thousands of happy antisemitic faces, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35628040/bbc-admits-should-have-pulled-stream/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;on BBC2&lt;/a&gt;, telling them: “It’s hard to imagine this many peace-loving, free- thinking people in one place.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9561.  
  9562.  
  9563.  
  9564. &lt;p&gt;Hard, not to mention impossible, because &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35654016/bbc-failure-glastonbury-antisemitism/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Glastonbury &lt;/a&gt;is a venue that divides the nation into two clearly defined camps.&lt;/p&gt;
  9565.  
  9566.  
  9567.  
  9568. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Mutual grovelling&lt;/h2&gt;
  9569.  
  9570.  
  9571.  
  9572. &lt;p&gt;There are those attendees who, despite being some of the most mystical, ethereal, genre-defining, middle-class bellends on the planet, clearly think both they and the festival are a bit special.&lt;/p&gt;
  9573.  
  9574.  
  9575.  
  9576. &lt;p&gt;And there are about 68million other Britons whose feelings range from mild disdain to a loathing so passionate I was half wondering if the Red Arrows could be fitted with Sidewinder missiles the next time they perform a ceremonial Glastonbury fly-past.&lt;/p&gt;
  9577.  
  9578.  
  9579.  
  9580. &lt;p&gt;There are many sound ­reasons to feel this way, of course, but I’ll start with the figures, which tell us there are between 400 to 500 BBC staff at the event who, at a cost of several million licence-funded pounds, swamp us with more than 200 hours of coverage and contribute significantly to the 2,000 tonnes of rubbish it creates, without ever easing up on the environmental lectures.&lt;/p&gt;
  9581.  
  9582.  
  9583.  
  9584. &lt;p&gt;Levels of tolerance will naturally vary according to musical tastes and the line-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  9585.  
  9586.  
  9587.  
  9588. &lt;p&gt;What’s always certain is that the edge will never be taken off proceedings by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35639010/bbc-shamed-antisemitic-chants-glastonbury/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;the BBC team&lt;/a&gt;, who are deeply flattered by the word “hosts”.&lt;/p&gt;
  9589.  
  9590.  
  9591.  
  9592. &lt;p&gt;At best, they’re entourage members whose relentless sycophancy can collapse a whole segment in a gush of mutual grovelling, as was demonstrated by Jo Whiley and Raye on Saturday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  9593.  
  9594.  
  9595.  
  9596. &lt;p&gt;“You’re going to walk on that stage and just nail it.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9597.  
  9598.  
  9599.  
  9600. &lt;p&gt;“Can I just say, you look so beautiful again.”&lt;/p&gt;

  9633.  
  9634.  
  9635.  
  9636. &lt;p&gt;As nauseating as their ­manner is, the thing that really repulses us about Glastonbury is the overwhelming hypocrisy which was showcased at the Shangri-La ­garden, on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  9637.  
  9638.  
  9639.  
  9640. &lt;p&gt;An area previously dedicated to anti-capitalist protests, at the £400-a-pop weekend, where someone called Angie Bual explained this year’s display was driven by the ­feeling “trees and plants move over borders, through the sea and so do people and they bring diversity.&lt;/p&gt;
  9641.  
  9642.  
  9643.  
  9644. &lt;p&gt;So we celebrate biodiversity and multiculturalism,” while seated just a few metres away from ­Glastonbury’s ­security fence.&lt;/p&gt;
  9645.  
  9646.  
  9647.  
  9648. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35681440&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2026-festival-take-fallow-year-1006206487.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;Brandi Carlile performing at Glastonbury Festival.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35681440&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Brandi ­Carlile was gazing out at thousands of happy antisemitic faces, on BBC2, telling them: &amp;#8216;It’s hard to imagine this many peace-loving, free-thinking people in one place&amp;#8217;[/caption]
  9649.  
  9650.  
  9651.  
  9652. &lt;p&gt;A security fence, incidentally, that’s guarded by ex-SAS members who protect festival-goers’ over-entitled arses from an influx of the herd they so clearly despise.&lt;/p&gt;
  9653.  
  9654.  
  9655.  
  9656. &lt;p&gt;These double-standards are relatively easy to laugh off, obviously, but it’s impossible to do the same with&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35630358/bob-vylan-rise-fame-glastonbury/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Bob Vylan&lt;/a&gt;, who turned out to be some hyphenated vegan called ­Pascal Robinson-Foster, which probably explains why he’s filled with so much self- loathing.&lt;/p&gt;
  9657.  
  9658.  
  9659.  
  9660. &lt;p&gt;The problem didn’t begin, however, with Pascal and his idiot mate on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  9661.  
  9662.  
  9663.  
  9664. &lt;p&gt;It started on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30584318/israel-gaza-war-massacre-iran-lebanon-hezbollah/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;October 7, 2023&lt;/a&gt;, when Hamas murdered 1,195 Israelis, including 378 at a very similar gathering to Glastonbury called the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31206119/hamas-survivor-suicide-israel-nova/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nova music festival.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  9665.  
  9666.  
  9667.  
  9668. &lt;p&gt;Instead of the natural revulsion and sympathy any decent human would feel, though, the political Left, including significant chunks of Glastonbury’s artists and crowd, traded in their moral compasses for a few slogans and sided with the murderers and rapists. &lt;/p&gt;
  9669.  
  9670.  
  9671.  
  9672. &lt;p&gt;A lot of weasel words have followed since things came to an inevitable head at the weekend, including an apology from Glastonbury’s nepo baby boss Emily Eavis, who said Pascal, “crossed the line. There’s no place for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence at ­Glastonbury”.&lt;/p&gt;
  9673.  
  9674.  
  9675.  
  9676. &lt;p&gt;You have to ask, then, why did she book him and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35609711/kneecap-rapper-palestine-action-t-shirt/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;fellow cretins Kneecap&lt;/a&gt; who, with the best will in the world, were never going to encore with a cover version of Hava Nagila.&lt;/p&gt;
  9677.  
  9678.  
  9679.  
  9680. &lt;p&gt;We should take at face value, though, the pre-festival arrogance of her dad Michael Eavis, who clearly has zero understanding of public- service broadcasting or how its concept of neutrality works, but was at least being honest when he said anyone who ­disagrees with Glastonbury’s politics: “Can go somewhere else.”&lt;/p&gt;
  9681.  
  9682.  
  9683.  
  9684. &lt;p&gt;A bit rich, given that we fund the ­coverage.&lt;/p&gt;
  9685.  
  9686.  
  9687.  
  9688. &lt;p&gt;If Eavis has the remotest conscience about the Beeb, however, he’ll understand it cannot go on playing whack-a-mole with all of this huge event’s ­political ­crazies. &lt;/p&gt;
  9689.  
  9690.  
  9691.  
  9692. &lt;p&gt;No matter how many safeguards you put in place, it’s a game they cannot win, and if the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35680458/bbc-apology-bob-vylan-glasto-chant-kneecap/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;BBC is to survive&lt;/a&gt; at all it’s Glastonbury that needs to go “somewhere else” and hopefully crawl back under the rock where it truly belongs.&lt;/p&gt;
  9693.  
  9694.  
  9695.  
  9696. &lt;p&gt;You’ve delighted us long enough, thanks very much.&lt;/p&gt;

  9714. &lt;p&gt;And if you’re also ­struggling with that one, here’s a clue: It’s not Atomic Kitten.&lt;/p&gt;

  9723.  
  9724.  
  9725.  
  9726. &lt;p&gt;ONE surprising result of the Glastonbury fallout is that it’s helped me see &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/love-island/&quot;&gt;Love Island&lt;/a&gt; in a slightly new light, on the grounds that the &lt;span id=&quot;3ebbbbba-8a45-43a4-a61a-75b2bbe005ae&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/span&gt; crowd does at least feature one vaguely likeable human being.&lt;/p&gt;
  9727.  
  9728.  
  9729.  
  9730. &lt;p&gt;He is Tommy, the 22-year-old landscape gardener, from Herts, who’s thoughtful, honest, faithful and almost totally invisible to most of the girls, who prefer to throw themselves at one of the villa’s many arseholes, helping to create a series of love triangles and set a pattern for the entire summer.&lt;/p&gt;
  9731.  
  9732.  
  9733.  
  9734. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35681782&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/61e1f9b7-7873-4b0c-a894-b33cc557f5a8.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Helena and Harrison kissing on a terrace.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35681782&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;493&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Harrison, pictured, confessed to Toni that he shared a kiss with Helena on the terrace&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Eroteme&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  9735.  
  9736.  
  9737.  
  9738. &lt;p&gt;Coupled-up Harrison very publicly kisses third-party Helena, so angry partner Toni asks: “Can I pull you for a chat?”&lt;/p&gt;
  9739.  
  9740.  
  9741.  
  9742. &lt;p&gt;A scene witnessed by a hurt Helena who feels compelled to pull her love rival for “a chat”, thereby also forcing Harrison to pull Helena for “a chat”. &lt;/p&gt;
  9743.  
  9744.  
  9745.  
  9746. &lt;p&gt;A “final” clear-the-air moment that’s followed by Toni pulling her for another chat, which then requires Harrison to pull devastated Toni for a clarification chat, where they end up kissing, leaving Helena with no other option than to ask Harrison: “Can I pull you for a chat?”&lt;/p&gt;
  9747.  
  9748.  
  9749.  
  9750. &lt;p&gt;And so on and so on and so on. With almost no prospect of this hall of mirrors process ending any time soon. ’Cos I am reluctant to suggest the Love Island blokes are all irredeemably hormone-crazed and stupid, however . . .&lt;/p&gt;

  9754. &lt;p&gt;Harrison has spent his entire adult life pronouncing the word “ar-chive” as if it’s a herb, and Ben thinks a posh menu is called “Aled Carte”, which it may well be at a French/Welsh fusion restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;

  9771. &lt;p&gt;The Glastonbury performances of Nile Rodgers, Ezra ­Collective and Neil Young doing Harvest Moon, that not even the venue and sound ­quality could ruin. &lt;/p&gt;
  9772. &lt;p&gt;And Netflix’s masterpiece Dept Q, which featured some of the best acting of the year, from Matthew Goode, left, as DCI Carl Morck and managed to go nine whole episodes without a single outbreak of overbearing political correctness.&lt;/p&gt;

  9890.  
  9891.  
  9892.  
  9893.  
  9894. &lt;p&gt;DEAR DEIDRE: FORBIDDEN sex is the most thrilling sort, but the married man I hoped to keep on the side has fallen for me – and I have done the same.&lt;/p&gt;
  9895.  
  9896.  
  9897.  
  9898. &lt;p&gt;I know things are about to get complicated. I’m 31 and have been with my boyfriend for four years.&lt;/p&gt;
  9899.  
  9900.  
  9901.  
  9902. &lt;p&gt;Things between us have been flat for a while. We barely talk any more, and I’ve felt invisible for months. So when I met a beautiful, charismatic man on a project at work, I couldn’t help myself.&lt;/p&gt;
  9903.  
  9904.  
  9905.  
  9906. &lt;p&gt;He’s 45, married with three young kids, and at first it was just a bit of flirty banter.&lt;/p&gt;
  9907.  
  9908.  
  9909.  
  9910. &lt;p&gt;But the chemistry between us was undeniable, and it wasn’t long before things turned physical. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/sex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sex &lt;/a&gt;was out of this world — intense and so passionate.&lt;/p&gt;
  9911.  
  9912.  
  9913.  
  9914. &lt;p&gt;At first, he made it clear he wasn’t looking to leave his wife, and I told myself I could handle that.&lt;/p&gt;
  9915.  
  9916.  
  9917.  
  9918. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://thesun.formstack.com/forms/js.php/dear_deidre_problem_feb&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  9919.  
  9920.  
  9921.  
  9922. &lt;p&gt;Keeping things casual made sense for both of us. But no matter how hard we tried to fight it, it hasn’t stayed that way. We’ve become emotionally attached.&lt;/p&gt;
  9923.  
  9924.  
  9925.  
  9926. &lt;p&gt;He messages me constantly, says he can’t stop thinking about me, and has even started talking about a &lt;span id=&quot;e3a777f0-6fbf-47e2-9b69-323b484126fb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; together.&lt;/p&gt;
  9927.  
  9928.  
  9929.  
  9930. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, I’m still living with my boyfriend, going through the motions and drowning in guilt. I’ve lied to everyone around me, including myself.&lt;/p&gt;
  9931.  
  9932.  
  9933.  
  9934. &lt;p&gt;Part of me wants to believe it could work with him. But the other part is terrified it will all come crashing down.&lt;/p&gt;

  9969.  
  9970.  
  9971.  
  9972. &lt;p&gt;Of course you crave passion when your current relationship feels flat, but an affair rarely provides the foundation for a lasting and secure relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

  10047. &lt;p&gt;She’s openly bisexual and very outgoing, with loads of friends, including men. I’ve never had reason to distrust her.&lt;/p&gt;
  10048.  
  10049.  
  10050.  
  10051. &lt;p&gt;Last week, a guy she works with sent a bouquet to her desk after she helped him through a rough patch. She told me straight away and laughed it off, saying it was nothing – just a kind gesture.&lt;/p&gt;
  10052.  
  10053.  
  10054.  
  10055. &lt;p&gt;But I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I keep worrying that she’s hiding something from me, and it’s making me paranoid and anxious.&lt;/p&gt;
  10056.  
  10057.  
  10058.  
  10059. &lt;p&gt;She says I’m overthinking things, but I can’t seem to shake this sinking feeling.&lt;/p&gt;
  10060.  
  10061.  
  10062.  
  10063. &lt;p&gt;Am I just being insecure, or is my gut trying to warn me?&lt;/p&gt;
  10064.  
  10065.  
  10066.  
  10067. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; It’s understandable that the flowers &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/34524025/signs-partner-jealous-of-you-relationships/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;triggered anxiety, &lt;/a&gt;especially as this is your first serious same-sex relationship. But your girlfriend was honest with you.&lt;/p&gt;
  10068.  
  10069.  
  10070.  
  10071. &lt;p&gt;That shows openness, not deceit. It’s likely the gesture was innocent.&lt;/p&gt;
  10072.  
  10073.  
  10074.  
  10075. &lt;p&gt;What’s important now is unpacking where your fear is coming from. Is it insecurity about her bisexuality or worry that she might leave you?&lt;/p&gt;
  10076.  
  10077.  
  10078.  
  10079. &lt;p&gt;Talk to her and work through these feelings together. My support pack, Dealing With Jealousy, should help.&lt;/p&gt;
  10080.  
  10081.  
  10082.  
  10083. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10084. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10085. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;SON HAS NO HOME, HOW CAN I HELP?   &lt;/h3&gt;
  10086. &lt;/div&gt;
  10087. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10090. &lt;div&gt;
  10091. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE:&lt;/strong&gt; MY son is homeless with nowhere to go, and I don’t know how to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  10092. &lt;p&gt;I’m worried sick he’s falling apart, and I’m scared he won’t be able to find a way out.&lt;/p&gt;
  10093. &lt;p&gt;I’m his 59-year-old mum, and he’s 28. He’s been homeless for weeks after his girlfriend kicked him out following a huge row.&lt;/p&gt;
  10094. &lt;p&gt;She’d always been nasty and controlling – isolating him from friends and making him feel worthless.&lt;/p&gt;
  10095. &lt;p&gt;He’s been sofa surfing with friends and family, but it’s not a long-term solution.&lt;/p&gt;
  10096. &lt;p&gt;He calls me almost every day, asking for money. I can’t have him live with me, as my home is too small.&lt;/p&gt;
  10097. &lt;p&gt;It breaks my heart to see him struggling, and I hate feeling helpless.&lt;/p&gt;
  10098. &lt;p&gt;His girlfriend’s behaviour has taken a toll on him, and I fear he’s losing hope.&lt;/p&gt;
  10099. &lt;p&gt;I want to support him, but I’m drained and worried I might be enabling him.&lt;/p&gt;
  10100. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; It’s clear you love your son and want to help. While it’s painful to see him struggling, setting boundaries is important for both of you.&lt;/p&gt;
  10101. &lt;p&gt;Encourage him to contact shelter.org.uk (0344 515 2000), which offers advice and support for people facing homelessness.&lt;/p&gt;
  10102. &lt;p&gt;Keep communication open so he knows you’re there emotionally, but be cautious about enabling dependence with money.&lt;/p&gt;
  10103. &lt;p&gt;Remember, you can’t fix everything, but guiding him towards the right resources will help him to find a way forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  10104. &lt;/div&gt;
  10105. &lt;/div&gt;
  10106. &lt;/div&gt;
  10108.  
  10109.  
  10110.  
  10111. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;FEEL I&amp;#8217;M BEING TAKEN FOR A RIDE&lt;/h2&gt;
  10112.  
  10113.  
  10114.  
  10115. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DEIDRE:&lt;/strong&gt; MY boyfriend only seems to love me when I’ve got my wallet out.&lt;/p&gt;
  10116.  
  10117.  
  10118.  
  10119. &lt;p&gt;I’m a 39-year-old woman, and he’s 33. We’ve been seeing each other for more than two years, but it’s never been stable.&lt;/p&gt;
  10120.  
  10121.  
  10122.  
  10123. &lt;p&gt;He disappears for weeks, then pops back up with sweet messages and promises – usually around his birthday or &lt;span id=&quot;72317d6c-9c60-4469-a8e7-e2bc7e8b8185&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Christmas&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10124.  
  10125.  
  10126.  
  10127. &lt;p&gt;Last year, he sent me a wishlist with designer clothes and trainers, and I stupidly spent nearly £400. I’ve paid his phone bill, sent him &lt;span id=&quot;177bd14d-b614-4181-b26e-ccaef8240899&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt; and even covered a speeding fine.&lt;/p&gt;
  10128.  
  10129.  
  10130.  
  10131. &lt;p&gt;He always thanks me, tells me he loves me and couldn’t do life without me, but then he goes cold. The affection dries up, he stops replying, and I’m left wondering what I did wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
  10132.  
  10133.  
  10134.  
  10135. &lt;p&gt;The cycle always repeats. He comes back when he needs something and showers me with charm, and I fall for it every time.&lt;/p&gt;
  10136.  
  10137.  
  10138.  
  10139. &lt;p&gt;I don’t want to believe he’s using me, but I feel more like a bank than a boyfriend. I love him, but I’m exhausted and confused.&lt;/p&gt;
  10140.  
  10141.  
  10142.  
  10143. &lt;p&gt;Is this love – or am I just being taken for a ride?&lt;/p&gt;
  10144.  
  10145.  
  10146.  
  10147. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEIDRE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This relationship is taking far more from you than it’s giving back – emotionally, financially and mentally. Real love isn’t transactional, and doesn’t vanish when you put your credit card away.&lt;/p&gt;
  10148.  
  10149.  
  10150.  
  10151. &lt;p&gt;This pattern – warm affection followed by silence then sudden reappearances when he needs something – is classic exploitation.&lt;/p&gt;
  10152.  
  10153.  
  10154.  
  10155. &lt;p&gt;Of course he says he loves you when he’s getting what he wants.&lt;/p&gt;
  10156.  
  10157.  
  10158.  
  10159. &lt;p&gt;You deserve a partner who values you for who you are, not what you can give. Take some time to reflect on what you want from a relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
  10160.  
  10161.  
  10162.  
  10163. &lt;p&gt;Setting clear boundaries, especially with money, will help you see his true intentions.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  10181. <content:encoded>&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-tnl-wp-lead-asset-lead-asset&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  10182.  
  10183.  
  10184.  
  10185.  
  10186.  
  10187.  
  10188.  
  10189.  
  10190.  
  10191. &lt;p&gt;FEEDING the family is one of the biggest challenges for a household’s budget.&lt;/p&gt;
  10192.  
  10193.  
  10194.  
  10195. &lt;p&gt;But with a little know-how, there are plenty of ways to save on your supermarket &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;shop&lt;/a&gt;. Here’s what you need to know . . . &lt;/p&gt;
  10196.  
  10197.  
  10198.  
  10199. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MEAL PLAN: &lt;/strong&gt;Knowing what you need to buy before hitting the shops is the easiest way to keep costs in check — and to make sure you’re not tempted by sales or marketing tactics.&lt;/p&gt;
  10200.  
  10201.  
  10202.  
  10203. &lt;p&gt;For inspiration, Sainsbury’s online recipe section has “feed the family” for a fiver, while the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesco/&quot;&gt;Tesco&lt;/a&gt; Real Food site has “budget dinner” &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/recipes/&quot;&gt;recipes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10204.  
  10205.  
  10206.  
  10207. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COMPARE: &lt;/strong&gt;The cheapest supermarket for your shopping typically depends on exactly what you are buying. &lt;/p&gt;
  10208.  
  10209.  
  10210.  
  10211. &lt;p&gt;You can compare individual items at comparison site trolley.co.uk, as well as creating an entire list to find out which shop is cheapest and closest to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  10212.  
  10213.  
  10214.  
  10215. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LOYALTY PAYS: &lt;/strong&gt;With reduced prices for loyalty members at most major supermarkets, you will be hit in the wallet if you do not sign up for schemes.&lt;/p&gt;
  10216.  
  10217.  
  10218.  
  10219. &lt;p&gt;Remember to log on to the app before you shop, as some offers need to be activated or loaded to your account before you can benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
  10220.  
  10221.  
  10222.  
  10223. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AVOID CONVENIENCE STORES: &lt;/strong&gt;Smaller local stores can cost you in more ways that one.&lt;/p&gt;
  10224.  
  10225.  
  10226.  
  10227. &lt;p&gt;First, the food items can be more expensive than in larger shops and &lt;span id=&quot;b1283f61-b750-4fb1-9acb-3a25e664f1d2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the range&lt;/span&gt; of own-brand or affordable versions of food are more limited than in the bigger branches. And thirdly, sometimes you won’t be able to access some of the membership perks that come from shopping at a larger store.&lt;/p&gt;
  10228.  
  10229.  
  10230.  
  10231. &lt;p&gt;For example, your Nectar prices are only available in the main Sainsbury’s supermarkets and not the smaller convenience stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  10232.  
  10233.  
  10234.  
  10235. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ONLINE SAVERS: &lt;/strong&gt;If you shop online, try to do bigger buys less frequently, to cut down the cost of delivery fees.&lt;/p&gt;

  10474.

  10478.  
  10479.  
  10480.

  10517. &lt;p&gt;Robertson continued by explaining what they would do when hanging out together, including watching &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/darts/&quot;&gt;darts&lt;/a&gt;, going to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/horse-racing/&quot;&gt;horse racing&lt;/a&gt; and giving him the nickname &amp;#8220;MacJota&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10518.  
  10519.  
  10520.  
  10521. &lt;p&gt;He continued: &amp;#8220;He was the most British foreign player I’ve ever met.&lt;/p&gt;
  10522.  
  10523.  
  10524.  
  10525. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We used to joke he was really Irish… I’d try to claim him as Scottish, obviously. I even called him Diogo MacJota.&lt;/p&gt;
  10526.  
  10527.  
  10528.  
  10529. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We’d watch the darts together, enjoy the horse racing. Going to Cheltenham this season was a highlight &amp;#8211; one of the best we had.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10534.  
  10535.  
  10536.  
  10537. &lt;p&gt;He concluded: &amp;#8220;The last time I saw him was the happiest day of his life – his wedding day. &lt;/p&gt;
  10538.  
  10539.  
  10540.  
  10541. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I want to remember his never-ceasing smile from that magical day. How much he was bursting with love for his wife and family.&lt;/p&gt;
  10542.  
  10543.  
  10544.  
  10545. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye. It’s too soon, and it hurts so much. But thank you for being in my life, mate – and for making it better. Love you, Diogo.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10560. &lt;p&gt;For me, I want to talk about my mate. My buddy. The bloke I loved and will miss like crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
  10561. &lt;p&gt;I could talk about him as a player for hours, but none of that feels like it matters right now.&lt;/p&gt;
  10562. &lt;p&gt;It’s the man. The person. He was such a good guy. The best. So genuine. Just normal and real.&lt;/p&gt;
  10563. &lt;p&gt;Full of love for the people he cared about. Full of fun.&lt;/p&gt;
  10564. &lt;p&gt;He was the most British foreign player I’ve ever met. We used to joke he was really Irish… I’d try to claim him as Scottish, obviously. I even called him Diogo MacJota.&lt;/p&gt;

  10568. &lt;p&gt;But thank you for being in my life, mate – and for making it better.&lt;/p&gt;
  10569. &lt;p&gt;Love you, Diogo.&lt;/p&gt;

  10633.  
  10634.  
  10635.  
  10636. &lt;p&gt;Now former glamour model &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/katie-price/&quot;&gt;Katie&lt;/a&gt;, 47, has revealed her eldest child will be leaving college this month and going into independent living.&lt;/p&gt;
  10637.  
  10638.  
  10639.  
  10640. &lt;p&gt;Katie said: &amp;#8220;Harvey is doing the &lt;span id=&quot;5060f398-f8e1-4942-aeb7-6b74f4ed9d34&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;countdown&lt;/span&gt; for his new place. &lt;/p&gt;
  10641.  
  10642.  
  10643.  
  10644. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s got his leavers ceremony where they give out certificates and then it&amp;#8217;s the &amp;#8216;real world&amp;#8217; Mr &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/harvey-price/&quot;&gt;Harvey Price&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10645.  
  10646.  
  10647.  
  10648. &lt;p&gt;The mum-of-five continued on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/katie-price/&quot;&gt;Katie Price&lt;/a&gt; Show podcast: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve found him a place in Southampton which is temporary.&lt;/p&gt;
  10649.  
  10650.  
  10651.  
  10652. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s got five other adults in it. &lt;/p&gt;
  10653.  
  10654.  
  10655.  
  10656. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then he moves to his place in October, which is Little Hampton, which will be nearer to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  10657.  
  10658.  
  10659.  
  10660. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s going from college to independent living.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10661.  
  10662.

He is also autistic and partially blind.&lt;/p&gt;
  10665.  
  10666.  
  10667.  
  10668. &lt;p&gt;Katie previously said: &amp;#8220;Harvey is supposed to be moving in four-and-a-half weeks, they&amp;#8217;ve changed management and said they won&amp;#8217;t be able to cater for Harv, because he&amp;#8217;s too difficult. &lt;/p&gt;

  10690.  
  10691.  
  10692. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So now I&amp;#8217;ve got to find another placement for him&amp;#8230; so yeah, more drama to deal with.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10693.  
  10694.  
  10695.  
  10696. &lt;p&gt;Later in the show, she said: &amp;#8220;We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn’t go there, and Harvey has been doing the&amp;nbsp;countdown.&lt;/p&gt;
  10697.  
  10698.  
  10699.  
  10700. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Well it’s stressful because you want the right thing for your child and it is a lot of time and effort to go back and do more meetings, more forms, it is very time-consuming because you want the best for your child.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10701.  
  10702.  
  10703.  
  10704. &lt;p&gt;Finding the right care for Harvey has been a constant issue for Katie since her eldest reached adulthood.&lt;/p&gt;
  10705.  
  10706.  
  10707.  
  10708. &lt;p&gt;Last year she had another run-in with a local authority over a place at a specialist college after a report allegedly found Harvey to have &amp;#8220;no&amp;nbsp;health&amp;nbsp;issues&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10709.  
  10710.  
  10711.  
  10712. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/15840913/katie-price-harvey-350k-residential-college/&quot;&gt;His time at £350,000-a-year National Star College, Gloucestershire&lt;/a&gt; came under threat as a result.&lt;/p&gt;
  10713.  
  10714.  
  10715.  
  10716. &lt;p&gt;Twice-bankrupt Katie, who lived three hours away in Horsham, West&amp;nbsp;Sussex, appealed the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  10717.  
  10718.  
  10719.  
  10720. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on an episode of her podcast last&amp;nbsp;spring, she said: &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve given me three months &amp;#8211; he has to find somewhere else by July.&lt;/p&gt;
  10721.  
  10722.  
  10723.  
  10724. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;With someone like Harvey, you need a transitional move, you need to do it slowly.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10725.  
  10726.  
  10727.  
  10728. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m trying to find somewhere nearer for Harvey, but three months isn&amp;#8217;t a long time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10729.  
  10730.  
  10731.  
  10732. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  10733. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  10734. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;What is Prader-Willi syndrome?&lt;/h3&gt;
  10735. &lt;/div&gt;
  10736. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  10739. &lt;div&gt;
  10740. &lt;p&gt;PWS is a genetic condition that can impact muscle tone, sexual development and the function of the nervous system.&lt;/p&gt;
  10741. &lt;p&gt;As well as this, those with Prader-Willi syndrome are more likely to have learning difficulties.&lt;/p&gt;
  10742. &lt;p&gt;Often, it also sparks a constant desire to eat food and a permanent feeling of hunger which leads to child obesity.&lt;/p&gt;
  10743. &lt;p&gt;However, the syndrome is very rare, with the NHS estimating that it affects &amp;#8220;no more than one in every 15,000 children born in England&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10744. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What causes Prader-Willi syndrome?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10745. &lt;p&gt;Those with PWS have a genetic defect on chromosome number 15.&lt;/p&gt;
  10746. &lt;p&gt;In around 70 per cent of cases, some of the DNA information that&amp;#8217;s inherited from the father is missing, which is referred to as &amp;#8220;paternal deletion&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10747. &lt;p&gt;Other cases occur when a child has two copies from their mother and none from their father.&lt;/p&gt;
  10748. &lt;p&gt;The condition is obtained purely by chance, but those who have one child with PWS have a less than 1 per cent chance of the next one being affected.&lt;/p&gt;
  10749. &lt;/div&gt;
  10750. &lt;/div&gt;
  10751. &lt;/div&gt;

  10782.  
  10783.  
  10784.  
  10785. &lt;p&gt;Ms Sultana whinged that &amp;#8220;Westminster is broken&amp;#8221; as she tore up her membership to focus on a new Pro-Palestine outfit.&lt;/p&gt;

  10794.  
  10795.  
  10796.  
  10797. &lt;p&gt;The MP for Coventry South was already sitting as an independent after having the Labour whip removed last summer for defying Sir Keir Starmer and voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap. &lt;/p&gt;
  10798.  
  10799.  
  10800.  
  10801. &lt;p&gt;Ms Sultana was also on course to have her party membership stripped, The Sun understands, after repeatedly accusing Sir Keir of being &amp;#8220;complicit in genocide&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10802.  
  10803.  
  10804.  
  10805. &lt;p&gt;In a ranting statement on X, she said: &amp;#8220;Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.&lt;/p&gt;
  10806.  
  10807.  
  10808.  
  10809. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country. &lt;/p&gt;
  10810.

  10813. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Join us. The time is now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10814.  
  10815.  
  10816.  
  10817. &lt;p&gt;The 31-year-old added: &amp;#8220;A year ago I was suspended by the Labour Party for voting to abolish the two-child benefit cap and lift 400,000 children out of poverty. &lt;/p&gt;
  10818.  
  10819.  
  10820.  
  10821. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;d do it again. I voted against scrapping winter fuel payments for pensioners. I&amp;#8217;d do it again. &lt;/p&gt;
  10822.  
  10823.  
  10824.  
  10825. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Now, the Government wants to make disabled people suffer; they just can&amp;#8217;t decide how much.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  10848.  
  10849. &lt;p&gt;Responding to Ms Sultana quitting, swathes of Labour MPs described their delight &amp;#8211; and how they only wished it happened sooner. &lt;/p&gt;
  10850.  
  10851.  
  10852.  
  10853. &lt;p&gt;Backbencher David Taylor said: &amp;#8220;Went before she was kicked out, and good riddance.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10854.  
  10855.  
  10856.  
  10857. &lt;p&gt;Gurinder Singh Josan added: &amp;#8220;Zarah is back in the irrelevance of the far-left. &lt;/p&gt;
  10858.  
  10859.  
  10860.  
  10861. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And the Labour Party will get on with the serious business of government.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10862.  
  10863.  
  10864.  
  10865. &lt;p&gt;Ms Sultana engaged in a fit of rage on Wednesday after MPs backed the Government&amp;#8217;s move to ban lefty activist group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.&lt;/p&gt;
  10866.  
  10867.  
  10868.  
  10869. &lt;p&gt;Legislation passed in the Commons as MPs voted 385 to 26, majority 359 in favour of proscribing the group under the Terrorism Act 2000.&lt;/p&gt;
  10870.  
  10871.  
  10872.  
  10873. &lt;p&gt;The motion is expected to be debated and voted on by the House of Lords on Thursday before it becomes law.&lt;/p&gt;
  10874.  
  10875.  
  10876.  
  10877. &lt;p&gt;It came after group&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35569238/rod-liddle-palestine-action-raf-planes-labour/&quot;&gt;Palestine Action&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;claimed the damage on two Voyager aircraft at RAF Brize Norton was carried out by them.&lt;/p&gt;
  10878.  
  10879.  
  10880.  
  10881. &lt;p&gt;A Labour spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;In just 12 months, this Labour government has boosted wages, delivered an extra four million NHS appointments, opened 750 free breakfast clubs, secured three trade deals and four interest rate cuts lowering mortgage payments for millions.&lt;/p&gt;
  10882.  
  10883.  
  10884.  
  10885. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Only Labour can deliver the change needed to renew Britain.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10886.  
  10887.  
  10888.  
  10889. &lt;p&gt;This comes as Rachel Reeves finally broke her silence over &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35675606/keir-insists-hes-still-backing-reeves/&quot;&gt;her tearful Commons wobble &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; as she and Sir Keir Starmer put on an awkward show of unity.&lt;/p&gt;
  10890.  
  10891.  
  10892.  
  10893. &lt;p&gt;The Chancellor admitted she was &amp;#8220;upset&amp;#8221; and blamed a &amp;#8220;personal issue&amp;#8221; for her emotional display in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parliament/&quot;&gt;Parliament&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10894.  
  10895.  
  10896.  
  10897. &lt;p&gt;But she refused to reveal any more, saying: “Clearly I was upset yesterday and everyone could see that.&lt;/p&gt;
  10898.  
  10899.  
  10900.  
  10901. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was a personal issue and I’m not going to go into the details of that.&lt;/p&gt;
  10902.  
  10903.  
  10904.  
  10905. &lt;p&gt;“My job as Chancellor at 12 o’clock on a Wednesday is to be at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pmqs/&quot;&gt;PMQs&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;next&amp;nbsp;to the Prime Minister, supporting the Government and that’s what I tried to do.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  10906.  
  10907.  
  10908.  
  10909. &lt;p&gt;She also insisted she was &amp;#8220;totally&amp;#8221; up for the job.&lt;/p&gt;
  10910.  
  10911.  
  10912.  
  10913. &lt;p&gt;Her comments came after scenes of her emotional display &amp;#8211; caught on live TV &amp;#8211; sparked speculation around her&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/future/&quot;&gt;future&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10914.  
  10915.  
  10916.  
  10917. &lt;p&gt;Her emotional state and Sir Keir&amp;#8217;s initial refusal to explicitly back her in the Commons yesterday sent the pound down nearly 1 per cen and borrowing costs surging at one of the fastest rates since the Liz Truss mini-Budget crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
  10918.  
  10919.  
  10920.  
  10921. &lt;p&gt;Scrambling to draw a line under 24 hours of intense scrutiny, the Chancellor was hastily drafted in for the launch of the Government&amp;#8217;s 10-year-plan for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nhs/&quot;&gt;NHS&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  10922.  
  10923.  
  10924.  
  10925. &lt;p&gt;She also shared an awkward hug with Sir Keir as he insisted he would stick with her &amp;#8220;for a long time to come” .&lt;/p&gt;
  10926.  
  10927.  
  10928.  
  10929. &lt;p&gt;He told Virgin Radio: “She is an excellent Chancellor,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35668928/bond-markets-pound-dollar-rachel-reeves-city/&quot;&gt;she will be Chancellor for a very long time to come&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; into the&amp;nbsp;next&amp;nbsp;election and beyond it.&lt;/p&gt;
  10930.  
  10931.  
  10932.  
  10933. &lt;p&gt;“She and I are absolutely committed to our fiscal rules and the economic stability that is so important to&amp;nbsp;this country.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10934.  
  10935.  
  10936.  
  10937. &lt;p&gt;“That is why she is here today and I am very glad she is.”&lt;/p&gt;
  10938.  
  10939.  
  10940.  
  10941. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/35668928/bond-markets-pound-dollar-rachel-reeves-city/&quot;&gt;Money markets earlier panicked&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the prospect of a change of Chancellor and possible abandonment of her spending rules.&lt;/p&gt;
  10942.  
  10943.  
  10944.  
  10945. &lt;p&gt;UK ten-year borrowing costs surged to 4.6 per cent and the Pound fell by one per cent against the Dollar to less than $1.36.&lt;/p&gt;
  10946.  
  10947.  
  10948.  
  10949. &lt;p&gt;Tuesday’s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35623372/keir-starmer-labour-rebels-more-welfare-concessions-hope/&quot;&gt;gutting of the welfare reforms&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;left Ms Reeves needing to plug a bigger hole in public savings — either by spending cuts, tax rises or borrowing.&lt;/p&gt;
  10950.  
  10951.  
  10952.  
  10953. &lt;p&gt;In her first year in the job, Ms Reeves has faced fierce criticism over&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/34998328/winter-fuel-u-turn-weeks/&quot;&gt;winter fuel&lt;/a&gt;, welfare cuts, the National&amp;nbsp;Insurance&amp;nbsp;raid, sluggish growth, taxing farmers and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30592296/labour-freebies-scandal-harry-cole/&quot;&gt;taking freebies.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  10981. &lt;p&gt;THE M4 is closed in both directions after a huge power failure with drivers warned the motorway is unsafe to use. &lt;/p&gt;
  10982.  
  10983.  
  10984.  
  10985. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-grid-plc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;National Grid&lt;/a&gt; is carrying out urgent works with drivers warned the motorway is &amp;#8220;unsafe&amp;#8221; to use.&lt;/p&gt;

  10993. &lt;p&gt;The M4 is South &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/gloucestershire/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gloucestershire&lt;/a&gt; is closed in both directions between Junction 18 (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/bath/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Bath&lt;/a&gt;) and Junction 19 (M32).&lt;/p&gt;
  10994.  
  10995.  
  10996.  
  10997. &lt;p&gt;This is so &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/national-grid-plc/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;National Grid&lt;/a&gt; engineers can carry out emergency works to an overhead power line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  10998.  
  10999.  
  11000.  
  11001. &lt;p&gt;The M4 has emptied of traffic between both junction as it&amp;#8217;s not safe for drivers to use.&lt;/p&gt;
  11002.  
  11003.  
  11004.  
  11005. &lt;p&gt;National Highways Traffic Officers are assisting with the closures.&lt;/p&gt;
  11006.  
  11007.  
  11008.  
  11009. &lt;p&gt;Diversion routes are in place and drivers heading west should follow the solid circle diversion signs. &lt;/p&gt;
  11010.  
  11011.

  11019.

  11022. &lt;li&gt;At the roundabout take the 3rd exit on to the A46 northbound&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  11023.  
  11024.

  11051. &lt;/ul&gt;
  11052.  
  11053.  
  11054.  
  11055. &lt;p&gt;Drivers heading east should follow the solid square diversion signs.&lt;/p&gt;

  11141.  
  11142.  
  11143.  
  11144. &lt;p&gt;The force appealed to the public for information in February to help identify two men in connection with their investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
  11145.  
  11146.  
  11147.  
  11148. &lt;p&gt;It came after a female victim in her 40s reported the attack.&lt;/p&gt;
  11149.  
  11150.  
  11151.  
  11152. &lt;p&gt;Officers were able to locate one of the men and he has been arrested, along with four others.&lt;/p&gt;
  11153.  
  11154.  
  11155.  
  11156. &lt;p&gt;But police are still hunting the topless man photographed.&lt;/p&gt;
  11157.  
  11158.  
  11159.  
  11160. &lt;p&gt;He has been described as being of large build, and has scarring on the back of his head. &lt;/p&gt;
  11161.  
  11162.  
  11163.  
  11164. &lt;p&gt;The man has &amp;#8220;prominent lips&amp;#8221;, a hairy body, and is balding. &lt;/p&gt;
  11165.  
  11166.  
  11167.  
  11168. &lt;p&gt;On the left side of his chest there is also a distinctive tattoo.&lt;/p&gt;
  11169.  
  11170.  
  11171.  
  11172. &lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for the force said: &amp;#8220;Wiltshire Police are continuing to appeal to the public to identify this man in connection with an investigation into serious sexual offences in Swindon. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11173.  
  11174.  
  11175.  
  11176. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are still seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the man shown in these pictures, which were taken in April-May 2022. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11177.  
  11178.  
  11179.  
  11180. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The male is of a large build, scarring to the back of his head, prominent lips, hairy body, balding with short or shaved hair, and one distinctive tattoo on the left side of his chest at the time of the images.  &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11181.  
  11182.  
  11183.  
  11184. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The victim is a female in her 40s. There is no information to suggest there are any further victims in connection with this incident. &amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11185.  
  11186.  
  11187.  
  11188. &lt;p&gt;Senior investigating officer Detective Superintendent Geoff Smith said: “This is a significant investigation with multiple suspects. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11189.  
  11190.  
  11191.  
  11192. &lt;p&gt;“We appreciate the graphic nature of these images and that they may be triggering to some people, however we need the public’s help to identify this man. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11193.  
  11194.  
  11195.  
  11196. &lt;p&gt;“It is unknown whether he lives in Swindon or from outside the county, which is why we request that this is shared as widely as possible to assist our bid to identify him. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11197.  
  11198.  
  11199.  
  11200. &lt;p&gt;“It is important to state that all information has been released with the victim’s full pre-sight and support, and she continues to be supported by specially trained officers.  &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11201.  
  11202.  
  11203.  
  11204. &lt;p&gt;“I’d also like to thank the numerous members of the public who called in following our appeal in February. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11205.  
  11206.  
  11207.  
  11208. &lt;p&gt;“If you think you recognise this man, please call 101 and quote reference number 54240080286. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  11209.  
  11210.  
  11211.

  11246. &lt;p&gt;A SAVVY mum saved herself hundreds of pounds after creating a bespoke Minecraft bedroom for her son.&lt;/p&gt;
  11247.  
  11248.  
  11249.  
  11250. &lt;p&gt;Elizabeth&amp;nbsp;Doherty wanted to give her son&amp;#8217;s bedroom a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35582378/cheap-bathroom-makeover-budget-tiles-shower-bq-shopping/&quot;&gt;revamp while keeping the costs down.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  11255.  
  11256.  
  11257.  
  11258. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35688033&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/www-wallart-com-uk-minecraft-1007339306.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Living room with Minecraft-themed wall mural.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35688033&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;wallart&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;It was much cheaper than buying a mural online[/caption]
  11259.  
  11260.  
  11261.  
  11262. &lt;p&gt;The mum&amp;#8217;s son is obsessed with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/minecraft/&quot;&gt;Minecraft&lt;/a&gt; and she wanted to give him a bedroom he&amp;#8217;d love.&lt;/p&gt;
  11263.  
  11264.  
  11265.  
  11266. &lt;p&gt;But instead of splashing out on a wall mural, like the Wallart one above that costs £247, she decided to give it a go herself.&lt;/p&gt;
  11267.  
  11268.  
  11269.  
  11270. &lt;p&gt;Using some leftover paint she had at home and a pencil she created a Minecraft masterpiece and shared it on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  11271.  
  11272.  
  11273.  
  11274. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My wee boy wanted a Minecraft room and I couldn&amp;#8217;t find &amp;lt;inecraft wallpaper so I tried to paint a wall,&amp;#8221; she wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  11275.  
  11276.  
  11277.  
  11278. &lt;p&gt;She first painted half of the wall blue to represent the &lt;span id=&quot;59882ca2-3a68-4136-86c2-275e0a161aa7&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;sky&lt;/span&gt;, adding some white squares to look like the clouds in Minecraft.&lt;/p&gt;
  11279.  
  11280.  
  11281.  
  11282. &lt;p&gt;Once done, she stencilled the Minecraft logo on to the middle of the wall and used grey and black paint to create a shadow effect.&lt;/p&gt;
  11283.  
  11284.  
  11285.  
  11286. &lt;p&gt;For the bottom of the wall, she used a mix of green and brown paints to recreate the cubes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/earth/&quot;&gt;earth&lt;/a&gt; and grass found in the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  11287.  
  11288.  
  11289.  
  11290. &lt;p&gt;But instead of forking out for ten different paints, she decided to use tester pots to save cash.&lt;/p&gt;
  11291.  
  11292.  
  11293.  
  11294. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;For anyone wanting to have a go themselves, I used Johnstone paint tester pots from B&amp;amp;M for the bottom as it was cheaper than buying whole tins.&lt;/p&gt;
  11295.  
  11296.  
  11297.  
  11298. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And I used old paint I already had for the top (it is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35625148/temu-wooden-dining-table-set-chairs-cheap/&quot;&gt;DIY on a budget &lt;/a&gt;after all).&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11443.  
  11444.  
  11445.  
  11446. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35583285/holly-valance-nick-candy-split/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;It comes a week after The Sun revealed&lt;/a&gt; ex-Neighbours star Holly and British property magnate and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/reform-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Reform UK&lt;/a&gt; treasurer Nick had ended their 14-year &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/celebrity-marriages/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;marriage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11447.  
  11448.  
  11449.  
  11450. &lt;p&gt;A source said: “Holly is incredibly upset. Her main concern is, and always will be, for their two daughters.&lt;/p&gt;
  11451.  
  11452.  
  11453.  
  11454. &lt;p&gt;“But when it comes to the divorce, she’s made it clear she wants what she’s owed and will take Nick for every penny. She insists that she is the injured party in this.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11455.  
  11456.  
  11457.  
  11458. &lt;p&gt;It is understood the pair signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they tied in the knot in 2012 in a lavish £3million wedding.&lt;/p&gt;
  11459.  
  11460.  
  11461.  
  11462. &lt;p&gt;The source added: “It’s been a very painful time for Holly and she has told friends that the split was not on her terms.&lt;/p&gt;
  11463.  
  11464.  
  11465.  
  11466. &lt;p&gt;“Given the circumstances, it feels as if there could be some room to manoeuvre.&lt;/p&gt;
  11467.  
  11468.  
  11469.  
  11470. &lt;p&gt;“Whatever the sum ends up being, it will be in the tens of millions of pounds.”&lt;/p&gt;
  11471.  
  11472.  
  11473.  
  11474. &lt;p&gt;Holly, whose 2002 debut album produced three Top Ten hits, was this week seen for the first time since the news of the split broke.&lt;/p&gt;

  11479.  
  11480.  
  11481.  
  11482. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman for the couple confirmed they were divorcing, adding: “This is a private matter. We won’t be making any further comment.”&lt;/p&gt;

  11506. &lt;p&gt;Last night a friend of Nick added: “Nick is a very decent guy and he will always do right by Holly and their children.” &lt;/p&gt;
  11507.  
  11508.  
  11509.  
  11510. &lt;p&gt;The pair were last photographed together in March going for lunch in London.&lt;/p&gt;
  11511.  
  11512.  
  11513.  
  11514. &lt;p&gt;They met in 2009 and Nick proposed two years later in the Maldives.&lt;/p&gt;
  11515.  
  11516.  
  11517.  
  11518. &lt;p&gt;They married in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/california/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;California&lt;/a&gt; in front of 300 guests, including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/simon-cowell/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Simon Cowell.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11519.  
  11520.  
  11521.  
  11522. &lt;p&gt;Holly found fame on Aussie TV soap &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/neighbours/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Neighbours&lt;/a&gt; as Felicity “Flick” Scully before launching her pop career.&lt;/p&gt;
  11523.  
  11524.  
  11525.  
  11526. &lt;p&gt;Nick started his property business with brother Christian in the early 1990s while working in advertising. &lt;/p&gt;
  11527.  
  11528.  
  11529.  
  11530. &lt;p&gt;They now have a vast portfolio, including One Hyde Park in central London, which alone is worth more than £1billion.&lt;/p&gt;
  11531.  
  11532.  
  11533.  
  11534. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/32216049/nick-candy-defects-conservatives-reform/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Last year, Nick announced he had given up his Tory Party membership&lt;/a&gt; in favour of Reform and was appointed its treasurer in December.&lt;/p&gt;
  11535.  
  11536.  
  11537.  
  11538. &lt;p&gt;Holly has also become an high-profile figure in right-wing politics — visiting &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/donald-trump/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt; in the US in 2022 with Nick and Reform leader &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/nigel-farage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nigel Farage.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  11645. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had to take myself away from this man and the situation. We made the hotel look at the cameras to get a picture of this man.&lt;/p&gt;

  11678.  
  11679.  
  11680.  
  11681. &lt;p&gt;The musician continued: &amp;#8220;Now I will have to get one of those little lock things to put in the door. If you are in a band you will need to get one. It can happen to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  11682.

  11688.

  11690.  
  11691.  
  11692.  
  11693. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am still vexed even telling the story. Never open your door at weird times useless you know who is there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  11694.  
  11695.  
  11696.  
  11697. &lt;p&gt;Skin claimed the hotel is continuing to &amp;#8220;review their security systems&amp;#8221; to increase the hotel guests protection.&lt;/p&gt;
  11698.  
  11699.  
  11700.  
  11701. &lt;p&gt;The hitmaker added: &amp;#8220;I’m not trying to get anyone fired, my life mantra is that prevention is better than a cure. Hotels can do a lot to make their clients safe.&lt;/p&gt;
  11702.  
  11703.  
  11704.  
  11705. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The reaction should not be to automatically pit my word against someone clearly being dodgy because you didn’t catch him camera doing it. But thanks to Pullman Hotels for listening and doing something about it, that is much appreciated.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  11798.  
  11799.  
  11800.  
  11801. &lt;p&gt;Marin Cilic, at 36, turned back the years and outsmarted and out-aced Draper in a ruthless, clean-hitting display on No1 Court.&lt;/p&gt;
  11802.  
  11803.  
  11804.  
  11805. &lt;p&gt;All the hope and expectations that Draper might mount a serious title challenge – and perhaps even become the third British male champion in more than 100 years – were unravelled by the Croatian veteran.&lt;/p&gt;
  11806.  
  11807.  
  11808.  
  11809. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35620499/wimbledon-2025-live-results-raducanu-alcaraz-updates/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cilic fired down 16 aces in a 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4 victory&lt;/a&gt; on day four of the Championships.&lt;/p&gt;
  11810.  
  11811.  
  11812.  
  11813. &lt;p&gt;For the second year running at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt;, Draper was undone in the second round in disappointing, deflating fashion.&lt;/p&gt;
  11814.  
  11815.  
  11816.  
  11817. &lt;p&gt;It happened 12 months ago to compatriot &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35666281/bbc-wimbledon-cam-norrie-frances-tiafoe/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cameron Norrie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  11818.  
  11819.  
  11820.  
  11821. &lt;p&gt;But this was different because of the significant improvements made in his game and his lofty status in the draw.&lt;/p&gt;
  11822.  
  11823.  
  11824.  
  11825. &lt;p&gt;You might look at the score and think that Draper simply buckled under the pressure of being the home favourite.&lt;/p&gt;
  11826.  
  11827.  
  11828.  
  11829. &lt;p&gt;Maybe that is the case and only he can say for sure but in truth, Cilic played exceptionally well, even if he did deliver six double faults across the four sets.&lt;/p&gt;
  11830.  
  11831.  
  11832.  
  11833. &lt;p class=&quot;has-text-align-center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/30944508/best-online-casino-free-spins-bonuses-10-deposits/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;CASINO SPECIAL &amp;#8211; BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  11834.  
  11835.  
  11836.  
  11837. &lt;p&gt;What Draper failed to do was move his opponent around the court and test out his battle-weary body.&lt;/p&gt;
  11838.  
  11839.  
  11840.  
  11841. &lt;p&gt;There was little variation and Cilic, who has had knee surgery, should have been manoeuvred more around the grass – instead, it was all too easy for the former US Open champion to dominate.&lt;/p&gt;

  11864.  
  11865. &lt;p&gt;It was all too flat as well from the Sutton man.&lt;/p&gt;
  11866.  
  11867.  
  11868.  
  11869. &lt;p&gt;There was little emotion, no screaming, no roaring – he needed to produce something that would get the crowd up on their feet and energised.&lt;/p&gt;
  11870.  
  11871.  
  11872.  
  11873. &lt;p&gt;When 2017 Wimbledon runner-up Cilic went two sets ahead, it was a worrying time for Draper supporters as the 23-year-old had never before come back to win from such a deficit.&lt;/p&gt;
  11874.  
  11875.  
  11876.  
  11877. &lt;p&gt;His cause was helped by winning set four in 31 minutes as youth prevailed over experience and he suddenly found his range.&lt;/p&gt;
  11878.  
  11879.  
  11880.  
  11881. &lt;p&gt;Cilic is a very difficult person to watch as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/tennis/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; neutral because he bounces the ball about 12-16 times before serving.&lt;/p&gt;
  11882.  
  11883.  
  11884.  
  11885. &lt;p&gt;The 6ft 6in giant received a time violation in game four of the third set – this earned a huge cheer from the fans – and it clearly put him off his stride as he was broken by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jack-draper/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Draper&lt;/a&gt; at a key juncture.&lt;/p&gt;
  11886.  
  11887.  
  11888.  
  11889. &lt;p&gt;Yet even though Draper’s level improved and he thrillingly saved two break points in game eight of set four, any prospect of a momentum shift was soon halted.&lt;/p&gt;

  11898.  
  11899.  
  11900.  
  11901. &lt;p&gt;Cilic – who turned pro in 2005 when Draper was &lt;strong&gt;THREE &lt;/strong&gt;years old – was relaxed and calm as he decisively broke his opponent’s serve.&lt;/p&gt;
  11902.  
  11903.  
  11904.  
  11905. &lt;p&gt;Draper’s frustration boiled over when he argued with the umpire over a Hawk-Eye call but in this era of no line judges, he cannot challenge the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
  11906.  
  11907.  
  11908.  
  11909. &lt;p&gt;The baffling decision by tournament Jamie Baker to schedule this on No1 Court rather than Centre Court proved the wrong one.&lt;/p&gt;
  11910.  
  11911.  
  11912.  
  11913. &lt;p&gt;It is fair to assume loads of debenture ticket holders would have rather watched this than Jannik Sinner demolish Aleksandar Vukic.&lt;/p&gt;
  11914.  
  11915.  
  11916.  
  11917. &lt;p&gt;It means it will be another year before Draper is exposed again to the premier grass court in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  11918.  
  11919.  
  11920.  
  11921. &lt;p&gt;Only twice out of seven matches has he competed on Centre Court and there were plenty of compelling reasons why he deserved to be there this evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  11922.  
  11923.  
  11924.  
  11925. &lt;p&gt;As Draper packed up his bags and left the arena, Cilic celebrated one of his best wins in years &amp;#8211; even if his kids did not seem all that bothered by the result.&lt;/p&gt;
  11926.  
  11927.  
  11928.  
  11929. &lt;p&gt;They continued to focus on their colouring books as Daddy, back after missing the last three editions in SW19, moved into the third round of Wimbledon for the ninth time and secured a date with Spaniard Jaume Munar on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  11930.  
  11931.

  12014.  
  12015.  
  12016.  
  12017. &lt;p&gt;Chavez allegedly had connections to the cartels alongside his warrant for organized crime and arms trafficking.&lt;/p&gt;
  12018.  
  12019.  
  12020.  
  12021. &lt;p&gt;He is currently being processed and being taken into custody in the Los Angeles area.&lt;/p&gt;
  12022.  
  12023.  
  12024.  
  12025. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained prominent Mexican boxer and criminal illegal alien Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and is processing him for expedited removal from the United States,&amp;#8221; the agency said. &lt;/p&gt;
  12026.  
  12027.  
  12028.  
  12029. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Chavez is a Mexican citizen who has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition, and explosives.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12030.  
  12031.  
  12032.  
  12033. &lt;p&gt;Chavez is the son of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr and was born in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico.&lt;/p&gt;
  12034.  
  12035.  
  12036.  
  12037. &lt;p&gt;He started his professional boxing career in September of 2002.&lt;/p&gt;
  12038.  
  12039.  
  12040.  
  12041. &lt;p&gt;The Department of Homeland Security says Chavez entered the US in August of 2023 on a B2 tourist visa that was valid until 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  12042.  
  12043.  
  12044.  
  12045. &lt;p&gt;He filed an application for Lawful Permanent Resident status last year due to his marriage to a US citizen, but the department accused them of having connections to the Sinaloa Cartel through a prior relationship with the now-deceased son of the infamous cartel leader Joaquin &amp;#8216;El Chapo&amp;#8217; Guzman.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12046.  
  12047.  
  12048.  
  12049. &lt;p&gt;It was determined that fraudulent statements were made on his application to become a resident.&lt;/p&gt;
  12050.  
  12051.  
  12052.  
  12053. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This Sinaloa Cartel affiliate with an active arrest warrant for trafficking guns, ammunition, and explosives was arrested by ICE,&amp;#8221; DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. &lt;/p&gt;

  12076.  
  12077. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is shocking the previous administration flagged this criminal illegal alien as a public safety threat, but chose to not prioritize his removal and let him leave and come back into our country.&lt;/p&gt;
  12078.  
  12079.  
  12080.  
  12081. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Under President Trump, no one is above the law—including world-famous athletes. &lt;/p&gt;
  12082.  
  12083.  
  12084.  
  12085. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our message to any cartel affiliates in the U.S. is clear: We will find you and you will face consequences. &lt;/p&gt;
  12086.  
  12087.  
  12088.  
  12089. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The days of unchecked cartel violence are over.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12090.

  12094.  
  12095.  
  12096.  
  12097. &lt;p&gt;A warrant was issued for Chavez&amp;#8217; arrest on January 14, 2023 for organized crime for the purpose of committing crimes of weapons trafficking and manufacturing crimes, in the modality of those who participate in clandestinely bringing weapons, ammunition, cartridges, explosives into the country; and those who manufacture weapons, ammunition, cartridges, and explosives without the corresponding permit.&lt;/p&gt;
  12098.  
  12099.  
  12100.  
  12101. &lt;p&gt;He was arrested on January 7 by the Los Angeles Police Department and was charged with illegal possession of any assault weapon and manufacture or import short barreled rifle.&lt;/p&gt;
  12102.  
  12103.  
  12104.  
  12105. &lt;p&gt;Chavez was convicted of these charges in court.&lt;/p&gt;
  12106.  
  12107.  
  12108.  
  12109. &lt;p&gt;His most recent fight came against Jake Paul on June 28 and he lost the contest.&lt;/p&gt;
  12110.  
  12111.  
  12112.  
  12113. &lt;p&gt;Chavez has a 54-7-1 record in his boxing career.&lt;/p&gt;

  12144. &lt;p&gt;THE world&amp;#8217;s second-largest cinema chain has announced a new family deal running all summer. &lt;/p&gt;
  12145.  
  12146.  
  12147.  
  12148. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cineworld/&quot;&gt;Cineworld&lt;/a&gt; is offering £1 Family Films every week starting July 25.&lt;/p&gt;
  12149.  
  12150.  
  12151.  
  12152. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_32036613&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/2024/11/20200626-047-cineworldsouthruislip-_sa92799-JS951941350.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Cineworld is the second largest chain of cinema theatres in the World.  The entire worldwide chain was forced to close during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic causing severe financial pressures upon the business.  Major theatrical releases have also been postponed by film studios exerting further pressure on the Cineworld business.  This picture depicts one of its cinema Complexes in South Ruislip, London, England.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-32036613&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The offer runs from July 25 to August 28 in most of the UK&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  12153.  
  12154.  
  12155.  
  12156. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman for Cineworld said: &amp;#8220;Designed for families to enjoy magical cinema moments, the weekly program &lt;span id=&quot;7e50b3ab-fa4a-4108-bcca-439daa508565&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;features&lt;/span&gt; big-screen favourites you might have missed – or just want to experience all over again.&lt;/p&gt;
  12157.  
  12158.  
  12159.  
  12160. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Because some stories are even better the second time, especially when shared as a family.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12161.  
  12162.  
  12163.  
  12164. &lt;p&gt;Families will be able to watch favourites like Moana 2, Paddington in &lt;span id=&quot;7bcdf7d8-78b3-4491-9bbd-334410ed26d6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Peru&lt;/span&gt;, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/minecraft/&quot;&gt;Minecraft&lt;/a&gt; Movie each week.&lt;/p&gt;
  12165.  
  12166.  
  12167.  
  12168. &lt;p&gt;Cineworld is also offering a Munchbox and Family Special deal on snacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  12169.

  12178.  
  12179.  
  12180.  
  12181. &lt;li&gt;Mufasa: The Lion King&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  12214. &lt;/ul&gt;
  12215.  
  12216.  
  12217.  
  12218. &lt;p&gt;Stuart Crane, International VP of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/film/&quot;&gt;Film&lt;/a&gt; Content at Cineworld, said: “Summer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/holidays/&quot;&gt;holidays&lt;/a&gt; are made for being more childish together as a family.” &lt;/p&gt;
  12219.  
  12220.  
  12221.  
  12222. &lt;p&gt;He continued: “With our £1 Family Films, families can experience the wonder of the big screen &amp;#8211; whether it’s a film they missed or one they want to rediscover all over again.&lt;/p&gt;
  12223.  
  12224.  
  12225.  
  12226. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s all about sharing those moments of joy that bring everyone closer and keeping that playful spirit alive all summer long.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12227.  
  12228.  
  12229.  
  12230. &lt;p&gt;The offer runs from July 25 to August 28 across most of the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

  12289.  
  12290.  
  12291.  
  12292. &lt;p&gt;The Sun &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/32035735/cineworld-cinema-chain-weymouth-closing-down/&quot;&gt;previously revealed&lt;/a&gt; that the Weymouth branch closed for good in December 2024, while the other five sites shut down in January.&lt;/p&gt;
  12293.  
  12294.  
  12295.  
  12296. &lt;p&gt;These closures were part of a wider plan to stabilise the company’s finances.&lt;/p&gt;
  12297.  
  12298.  
  12299.  
  12300. &lt;p&gt;In October 2024, a judge approved a £16 million cash injection into Cineworld’s four operating companies.&lt;/p&gt;
  12301.  
  12302.  
  12303.  
  12304. &lt;p&gt;The company also secured £40 million in liquidity and plans to invest up to £35 million on refurbishing and upgrading existing cinemas.&lt;/p&gt;
  12305.  
  12306.  
  12307.  
  12308. &lt;p&gt;This follows a turbulent period for Cineworld. &lt;/p&gt;
  12309.  
  12310.  
  12311.  
  12312. &lt;p&gt;Last year, the company &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23277706/huge-cinema-chain-update-administration-cineworld/&quot;&gt;emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy&lt;/a&gt; protection in the US.&lt;/p&gt;

  12314.  
  12315.  
  12316. &lt;p&gt;Cineworld is a British cinema operator, with screens in 747 sites across 10 countries.&lt;/p&gt;

  12379. &lt;p&gt;The Kill Bill star attended the Chiller Theater Expo in New Jersey back in April to greet fans.&lt;/p&gt;
  12380.  
  12381.  
  12382.  
  12383. &lt;p&gt;The actor, whose last several years have been &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35688294/reservoir-dogs-michael-madsen-dead-kill-bill-actor/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;marked by personal struggles&lt;/a&gt;, alleged spousal battery, and a tumultuous ongoing divorce, sat and greeted fans of his, signing cards and other memorabilia.&lt;/p&gt;

  12387. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Had a very nice time last night at Chiller,&amp;#8221; &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/groups/835124990031973/posts/2773030716241381/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;one fan wrote&lt;/a&gt; on the Chiller Expo Facebook page. &lt;/p&gt;

  12391. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Highlight was meeting Michael Madsen&amp;#8230;Very happy with the cards I got signed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12392.  
  12393.  
  12394.  
  12395. &lt;p&gt;Attached to the post is a photo of Madsen with the fan, along with pictures of the cards he signed.&lt;/p&gt;

  12407. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He’s one very cool guy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12408.  
  12409.  
  12410.  
  12411. &lt;p&gt;However, under the post, fans mentioned Madsen&amp;#8217;s noticeably unkempt appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
  12412.  
  12413.  
  12414.  
  12415. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I saw he didn&amp;#8217;t look good,&amp;#8221; one fan commented.&lt;/p&gt;
  12416.

  12487.  
  12488. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8220;One of the discoveries in the movie is Madsen, who has done a lot of acting over the years &amp;#8230; but here emerges with the kind of really menacing screen presence only a few actors achieve; he can hold his own with the fearsome Tierney, and reminds me a little of a very mean Robert De Niro,&amp;#8221; infamous film critic Roger Ebert&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/reservoir-dogs-1992#google_vignette&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;wrote in his review&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; of Reservoir Dogs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  12568.  
  12569.  
  12570.  
  12571. &lt;p&gt;She posted a message that read: “I love my daughter.” The former glamour model then followed with another with the words: “My daughter will always be my little princess.”&lt;/p&gt;
  12572.  
  12573.  
  12574.  
  12575. &lt;p&gt;Katie didn’t hold back as she discussed being left off of the guest list for a party to celebrate Princess hitting the milestone &amp;#8211; which will feature in the rising star’s upcoming reality show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  12576.  
  12577.  
  12578.  
  12579. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35619583/peter-andre-warning-princess-birthday-katie-price/&quot;&gt;Princess is now officially an adult,&lt;/a&gt; so Mummy and Princess can now go out together, if certain people would let her be seen with me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12580.  
  12581.  
  12582.  
  12583. &lt;p&gt;She went on: &amp;#8220;Everyone knows she&amp;#8217;s doing this documentary &amp;#8211; and I&amp;#8217;m not in it. Certain people don&amp;#8217;t think it&amp;#8217;s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12584.  
  12585.  
  12586.  
  12587. &lt;p&gt;Sophie chipped in: &amp;#8220;You aren&amp;#8217;t on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that&amp;#8217;s why.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12588.  
  12589.  
  12590.  
  12591. &lt;p&gt;Katie then said: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s pathetic. I&amp;#8217;m her mother.&lt;/p&gt;
  12592.  
  12593.  
  12594.  
  12595. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m just saying, Princess was like &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;m having a party&amp;#8217;. And I wasn&amp;#8217;t invited because it was for &amp;#8216;filming.'&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12596.  
  12597.  
  12598.  
  12599. &lt;p&gt;Sophie added: &amp;#8220;Oh of course it was! I wonder what restaurant did that for free.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  12600.  
  12601.  
  12602.  
  12603. &lt;p&gt;Continuing the rant, Katie said: &amp;#8220;The fact is there&amp;#8217;s stuff my daughter is doing and I&amp;#8217;m not allowed to be seen at any of it.&lt;/p&gt;

  12762.  
  12763. &lt;p&gt;THE Tattle Life website has been used for years to spread nasty gossip about celebrities and influencers alike.&lt;/p&gt;
  12764.  
  12765.  
  12766.  
  12767. &lt;p&gt;But since its &lt;span id=&quot;acb41c0e-13d6-46d6-beeb-c6f4ede8cc8c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;anonymous&lt;/span&gt; owner was outed in a Northern Irish &lt;span id=&quot;2e9a1de0-1900-418c-8fc9-e5b10fed30e6&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;court&lt;/span&gt; last month,&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35538377/hinch-solomon-feud-grief-tattle-life/&quot;&gt; victims of the forums &lt;/a&gt;have finally spoken out against the abuse they&amp;#8217;ve endured, including Emily Clarkson.&lt;/p&gt;

  12776.  
  12777.  
  12778.  
  12779. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on her podcast &lt;a href=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/episode/07vq4k0ItnI5YRZH2UEqTX?flow_ctx=e286eed6-7c7d-414f-a9f3-1363e501129d%3A1751582887&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot;&gt;Should I Delete That?&lt;/a&gt; with co-host Alex Light, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/jeremy-clarkson/&quot;&gt;Jeremy Clarkson&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s eldest daughter has shared the lengths she went to in an attempt to uncover the trolls targeting her and her family.&lt;/p&gt;
  12780.  
  12781.  
  12782.  
  12783. &lt;p&gt;E&lt;span&gt;nglishman, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/tv/15385538/brian-dowling-tattle-life-trolls-battle-gossip-website/&quot;&gt;Sebastian Bond&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; lost his right to anonymity in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;courts&lt;/a&gt; after he was successfully sued for defamation as the website&amp;#8217;s founder.&lt;/p&gt;
  12784.  
  12785.  
  12786.  
  12787. &lt;p&gt;The site which attracted 12 million visitors a month was launched seven years ago and supposedly aimed at exposing disingenuous&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/influencers/&quot;&gt;influencers&lt;/a&gt;, but has earned the name of a ‘troll site; to abuse anyone they see fit.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  12788.  
  12789.  
  12790.  
  12791. &lt;p&gt;And Emily was one of&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35444605/jane-moore-tattle-sebastian-bond-trolls/&quot;&gt; thousands of celebrities targeted &lt;/a&gt;by people hiding under anonymous accounts to spread hate and abuse.&lt;/p&gt;
  12792.  
  12793.  
  12794.  
  12795. &lt;p&gt;Speaking on the podcast, Emily said: &amp;#8220;Tattle has been the biggest thorn in our sides.&lt;/p&gt;
  12796.  
  12797.  
  12798.  
  12799. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You and I, Al, have genuinely been heartbroken by this; it&amp;#8217;s affected me to the point where I&amp;#8217;ve had to block it on all devices.&lt;/p&gt;
  12800.  
  12801.  
  12802.  
  12803. &lt;p&gt;Emily revealed she has to get those close to her to check the site every few weeks just to ensure images of her kids and her home address wasn&amp;#8217;t leaked.&lt;/p&gt;
  12804.  
  12805.  
  12806.  
  12807. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was so broken by it, I haven&amp;#8217;t been able to check it since Arlo was born, if they say anything bad about my kids I&amp;#8217;m gonna die&amp;#8221; she continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  12808.  
  12809.  
  12810.  
  12811. &lt;p&gt;The 30-year-old also revealed that her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pregnancy/&quot;&gt;pregnancy&lt;/a&gt; with her second child, Xanthe was ruined by trolls on the site who leaked details of her pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;
  12812.  
  12813.  
  12814.  
  12815. &lt;p&gt;Emily revealed that the cyberbullying got so bad she ended up hiring a private investigator (PI) to find the trolls who were not just harassing her online but stalking her in &lt;span id=&quot;9dcd542a-3cb9-4b3f-9cb2-7840926f4df3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;real life&lt;/span&gt; too.&lt;/p&gt;

  12844.  
  12845.  
  12846.  
  12847. &lt;p&gt;Emily&amp;#8217;s clever detective skills led her to find one Tattle Life user who referred to Emily as &amp;#8216;thrush&amp;#8217; as she was &amp;#8216;annoying&amp;#8217;, but on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; would DM Emily being &lt;span id=&quot;8caf016f-3ef6-4eb4-b70a-2a5b1f375de4&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt; as pie.&lt;/p&gt;
  12848.  
  12849.  
  12850.  
  12851. &lt;p&gt;To show her she knew who she was, Emily decided to send her a picture of thrush medication on Instagram and was swiftly left alone by the troll.&lt;/p&gt;
  12852.  
  12853.  
  12854.  
  12855. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She saw it and never replied,&amp;#8221; Emily chuckled.&lt;/p&gt;

  12867. &lt;ol&gt;
  12868. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creation of Tattle Life&lt;/strong&gt;: The online forum Tattle Life was established as a platform for commentary and critiques of influencers and celebrities.&lt;/li&gt;
  12869. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harassment of Neil and Donna Sands&lt;/strong&gt;: A 45-page thread targeting Neil and Donna Sands appeared on Tattle Life, leading to a campaign of harassment, invasion of privacy, defamation, and breach of data rights against the couple.&lt;/li&gt;
  12870. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Legal Action by the Sands&lt;/strong&gt;: Neil and Donna Sands filed a lawsuit against Tattle Life, seeking justice for the harm caused by the forum&amp;#8217;s content.&lt;/li&gt;
  12871. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Outcome of the Lawsuit&lt;/strong&gt;: The Sands won £300,000 in damages, marking a significant victory in their legal battle.&lt;/li&gt;
  12872. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unmasking of Tattle Life Owner&lt;/strong&gt;: The legal action revealed the identity of the website&amp;#8217;s owner, Sebastian Bond, also known as the vegan cooking influencer Bastian Durward.&lt;/li&gt;
  12873. &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Repercussions for Tattle Life&lt;/strong&gt;: Following the lawsuit, many users of Tattle Life began deleting their accounts due to fears of exposure. Other individuals who have been targeted by the site are now considering legal action, including applying for Norwich Pharmacal orders to unmask anonymous trolls.&lt;/li&gt;
  12874. &lt;/ol&gt;
  12875. &lt;/div&gt;
  12876. &lt;/div&gt;
  12877. &lt;/div&gt;
  12879.  
  12880.  
  12881.  
  12882. &lt;p&gt;After her pregnancy was leaked on the site, Emily got a PI to track down who it was.&lt;/p&gt;
  12883.  
  12884.  
  12885.  
  12886. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It felt really nice to know they could be found, and if you push me too far, I know who you are,&amp;#8221; she continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  12887.  
  12888.  
  12889.  
  12890. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If I read my thread, I&amp;#8217;d think I&amp;#8217;m the worst person in the world,&amp;#8221; she added.&lt;/p&gt;
  12891.  
  12892.  
  12893.  
  12894. &lt;p&gt;Emily made the point that not only did the comments hurt her but could also affect &lt;span id=&quot;0e88a438-2639-4c1c-a2ed-c70eb49cafb3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; work partnerships and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/relationships/&quot;&gt;relationships&lt;/a&gt;, and the platform never gave those targeted a chance to defend themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
  12895.  
  12896.  
  12897.  
  12898. &lt;p&gt;Since it was created in 2017, the founder of Tattle Life was anonymous, but it was found out after fashion brand owner Donna Sands and her husband Neil took the owner to court in Northern&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;c0f4b393-b246-448e-a675-54e73de7e334&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Ireland&lt;/span&gt;, Sebastian’s identity was lifted.&lt;/p&gt;
  12899.  
  12900.  
  12901.  
  12902. &lt;p&gt;Thanks to The Sands, who were targeted by those on the site, Sebastian was found to be the&amp;nbsp;anonymous&amp;nbsp;founder and they have been awarded £150,000 each.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  12924.  
  12925.  
  12926.  
  12927. &lt;p&gt;Robinson, 45, is said to be recovering in a stable condition after the shock earlier today.&lt;/p&gt;

  12936.  
  12937.  
  12938.  
  12939. &lt;p&gt;A statement from Swansea&amp;#8217;s official X account confirmed the news.&lt;/p&gt;
  12940.  
  12941.

  12944.  
  12945.  
  12946.  
  12947. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Andy is currently in a stable condition in hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  12948.  
  12949.  
  12950.  
  12951. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re all with you Robbo&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12952.  
  12953.  
  12954.  
  12955. &lt;p&gt;While &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1225859/leeds-united/&quot;&gt;Leeds United&lt;/a&gt; showed their support for their former player in a post on X too.&lt;/p&gt;
  12956.  
  12957.  
  12958.  
  12959. &lt;p&gt;It read: &amp;#8220;Now in a stable condition, everyone at #LUFC wishes former player Andy Robinson a speedy recovery, after he suffered a heart attack earlier today&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  12960.  
  12961.  
  12962.  
  12963. &lt;p&gt;Robinson became a fan favourite at both Leeds and Swansea and has continued his support of the Swans since leaving the club in 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
  12964.  
  12965.  
  12966.  
  12967. &lt;p&gt;The wide midfielder played over 231 games for the Welsh club and is now often reporting on their games as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/bbc/&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt; Sport &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196709/wales/&quot;&gt;Wales&lt;/a&gt; pundit.&lt;/p&gt;

  12976.  
  12977.  
  12978.  
  12979. &lt;p&gt;As well as representing Leeds and Swansea, Robinson played for Tranmere, Ammanford, Stockport and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/shrewsbury/&quot;&gt;Shrewsbury&lt;/a&gt;, before retiring in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  12980.  
  12981.  
  12982.  
  12983. &lt;p&gt;Robinson got his big break into professional &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt; in 2003, when he was offered a trial by then Swansea boss Brian Flynn after impressing at an amateur side in his home town of Birkenhead.&lt;/p&gt;
  12984.  
  12985.  
  12986.  
  12987. &lt;p&gt;Across his career Robinson won the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/efl/&quot;&gt;EFL&lt;/a&gt; Trophy and a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/league-one/&quot;&gt;League One&lt;/a&gt; title with the Swans.&lt;/p&gt;
  12988.  
  12989.  
  12990.  
  12991. &lt;p&gt;While he is remembered fondly by Swansea fans as the last player to ever score at iconic stadium Vetch Field, netting the winning goal in the FAW Premier Cup final against Wrexham in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

  13015.  
  13016.  
  13017.  
  13018.  
  13019.  
  13020. &lt;p&gt;GORDON RAMSAY is developing a new game show which could give us a 21st-century version of The Crystal Maze.&lt;/p&gt;
  13021.  
  13022.  
  13023.  
  13024. &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately the chef won’t suddenly be shaving his head and pretending to be the show’s famous host Richard O’Brien.&lt;/p&gt;
  13025.  
  13026.  
  13027.  
  13028. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35687193&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/crystal-maze-presenter-richard-obrien-262996485.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Richard O'Brien, presenter of The Crystal Maze.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35687193&quot; width=&quot;960&quot; height=&quot;633&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Gordon Ramsay is developing a new game show which could give us a 21st-century version of The Crystal Maze, pictured original host Richard O’Brien&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  13029.  
  13030.  
  13031.  
  13032. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/gordon-ramsay/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Gordon’s&lt;/a&gt; production house Studio Ramsay Global is in the very early stages of devising the group challenge show – so early, in fact, that it’s not yet clear where the show would eventually air.&lt;/p&gt;
  13033.  
  13034.  
  13035.  
  13036. &lt;p&gt;But there would certainly be an appetite for a programme like The Crystal Maze, which became a cult classic when it was shown on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/channel-4/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Channel 4&lt;/a&gt; from 1990 to 1995.&lt;/p&gt;
  13037.  
  13038.  
  13039.  
  13040. &lt;p&gt;There have been a couple of reboots, including a one-off celebrity edition hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.ie/who/stephen-merchant/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Stephen Merchant&lt;/a&gt;, but nothing has quite conjured up the magic of the old show.&lt;/p&gt;
  13041.  
  13042.  
  13043.  
  13044. &lt;p&gt;If anyone can do it, surely Gordon can.&lt;/p&gt;
  13045.  
  13046.  
  13047.  
  13048. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33673276/gordon-ramsay-head-to-head-bake-off/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;The Sun revealed in March that Ramsey&lt;/a&gt; was set to launch a new baking show.&lt;/p&gt;
  13049.  
  13050.  
  13051.  
  13052. &lt;p&gt;Fans loved his sweary antics on shows such as The F-Word and Ramsay&amp;#8217;s Kitchen Nightmares.&lt;/p&gt;
  13053.  
  13054.  
  13055.  
  13056. &lt;p&gt;In 2023, Gordon launched&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/next-level-chef/&quot;&gt;Next Level Chef&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv/&quot;&gt;ITV&lt;/a&gt;, but it was axed after only one series.&lt;/p&gt;
  13057.  
  13058.  
  13059.  
  13060. &lt;p&gt;He was looking to have better luck across the pond as he revealed&amp;nbsp;Next&amp;nbsp;Level Baker to FOX.&lt;/p&gt;
  13061.  
  13062.  
  13063.  
  13064. &lt;p&gt;The new spin-off show would test bakers as they attempted to make festive holiday treats across the three levels on the set.&lt;/p&gt;
  13065.  
  13066.  
  13067.  
  13068. &lt;p&gt;One master of the craft would hope to take away the top prize and the crown.&lt;/p&gt;

  13093.  
  13094.  
  13095.  
  13096. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;I’m delighted that Next Level Baker is coming to Fox later this year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  13097.  
  13098.  
  13099.  
  13100. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A holiday special, where passionate home cooks, more used to crafting treats for their family, will compete against social media creators; individuals who fill our feeds with photo ready creations, side by side with talented professional pastry chefs, impressing with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/michelin/&quot;&gt;Michelin&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;starred perfection.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;

  13239. <content:encoded>&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-tnl-wp-lead-asset-lead-asset&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  13240.  
  13241.  
  13242.  
  13243.  
  13244.  
  13245.  
  13246.  
  13247.  
  13248.  
  13249. &lt;p&gt;THE chain&amp;#8217;s latest hotel in South-East London, which opened only last year, is one of the best to explore the city centre. &lt;/p&gt;
  13250.  
  13251.  
  13252.  
  13253. &lt;p&gt;Here is everything you need to know about Travelodge Bermondsey.&lt;/p&gt;
  13254.  
  13255.  
  13256.  
  13257. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35382355&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 860px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/bermondsey-travelodge-977983119.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=850&quot; alt=&quot;Travelodge hotel room with a double bed.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35382355&quot; width=&quot;850&quot; height=&quot;470&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Travelodge&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;A new Travelodge opened in the capital last year[/caption]
  13258.  
  13259.  
  13260.  
  13261. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;What are the rooms like?&lt;/h2&gt;
  13262.  
  13263.  
  13264.  
  13265. &lt;p&gt; The 72 rooms certainly feel new, with that smell of fresh carpet lingering throughout. &lt;/p&gt;
  13266.  
  13267.  
  13268.  
  13269. &lt;p&gt;The newly designed Standard rooms have all you need without the frills &amp;#8211; large king-size beds, complimentary tea and coffee and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/freeview/&quot;&gt;Freeview&lt;/a&gt; TVs as well as a personal highlight &amp;#8211; USB plugs by the bed.&lt;/p&gt;
  13270.  
  13271.  
  13272.  
  13273. &lt;p&gt;Or there is the SuperRoom, which has all of the above while being on quieter floors, along with extras such as Lavazza coffee machines, hairdryers and irons.&lt;/p&gt;
  13274.  
  13275.  
  13276.  
  13277. &lt;p&gt;The en-suite bathrooms are simple but functional, with towels and toiletries. &lt;/p&gt;
  13278.  
  13279.  
  13280.  
  13281. &lt;p&gt; Rooms start at £60 a night.&lt;/p&gt;
  13282.  
  13283.  
  13284.  
  13285. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is there to eat and drink there?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  13286.  
  13287.  
  13288.  
  13289. &lt;p&gt;The hotel has a restaurant, serving classics such as penne arrabbiata or Punjabi chicken curry.&lt;/p&gt;
  13290.  
  13291.  
  13292.  
  13293. &lt;p&gt;But being so close to some of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s finest, you are spoilt for choice, with Argentinian food at Malevo or the French Pique-Nique.&lt;/p&gt;
  13294.  
  13295.  
  13296.  
  13297. &lt;p&gt;Visit on the weekend for the Maltby Street Market just around the corner where you can dine on a range of cuisines, snacks and drinks.&lt;/p&gt;
  13298.  
  13299.  
  13300.  
  13301. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully the Travelodge breakfast will cure any latenight headaches. &lt;/p&gt;
  13302.  
  13303.  
  13304.  
  13305. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What else is there to do at the hotel?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  13306.  
  13307.  
  13308.  
  13309. &lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t expect any gyms or spas, it is a Travelodge after all. &lt;/p&gt;
  13310.  
  13311.  
  13312.  
  13313. &lt;p&gt;But round the corner is Tower Bridge, while in the other direction you have the Fashion and Textile Museum. &lt;/p&gt;
  13314.  
  13315.  
  13316.  
  13317. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;c2a4cd02-5df4-472e-ab0c-697dacbbdb18&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;London&lt;/span&gt; Bridge station is a 12-minute walk away.&lt;/p&gt;
  13318.  
  13319.  
  13320.  
  13321. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is the hotel family-friendly?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  13322.  
  13323.  
  13324.  
  13325. &lt;p&gt;Yes, there are cots available on request, with kids eating breakfast for £1.&lt;/p&gt;
  13326.  
  13327.  
  13328.  
  13329. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there access for guests with disabilities?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  13330.  
  13331.  
  13332.  
  13333. &lt;p&gt;There are a number of accessibility rooms at the hotel, including with wet rooms, although it is advised to get in touch with the hotel.&lt;/p&gt;
  13334.  
  13335.  
  13336.  
  13337. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35382356&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/travelodge-bermondsey-check-check-976959099.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Travelodge London Bermondsey signage on a brick building.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35382356&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;Travelodge&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Rooms start from £60 a night[/caption]</content:encoded>

  13369. &lt;p&gt;AS an actress, comedian, presenter and now a mum, Emily Atack is a very busy lady.&lt;/p&gt;
  13370.  
  13371.  
  13372.  
  13373. &lt;p&gt;In between making racy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32104760/disneys-raunchy-rivals-confirmed-series-two/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Disney+ drama Rivals&lt;/a&gt;, she is also developing a new &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/uk-gameshows/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;gameshow&lt;/a&gt;, all while &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/28353066/emily-atack-baby-bump-shopping-boyfriend/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;raising her first baby.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13374.

  13376.  
  13377. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35687391&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 650px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/emily-atack-attends-disney-bafta-993847082.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=640&quot; alt=&quot;Emily Atack at the Disney+ BAFTA TV Awards Reception.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35687391&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Getty&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Emily Atack has ended plans for a new fly-on-the wall reality show following the success of drama Rivals[/caption]
  13378.  
  13379.  
  13380.  
  13381. &lt;p&gt;Which might explain why the former &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/the-inbetweeners/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Inbetweeners&lt;/a&gt; star has decided not to pursue another project she was developing — a reality series following her introduction to motherhood.&lt;/p&gt;
  13382.  
  13383.  
  13384.  
  13385. &lt;p&gt;Emily, who gave birth to her first child just over a year ago, was in discussions about the show with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/disney-plus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Disney+&lt;/a&gt; and the production company Boldprint Studios — but it was not to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  13386.  
  13387.  
  13388.  
  13389. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Naked tennis&lt;/h2&gt;
  13390.  
  13391.  
  13392.  
  13393. &lt;p&gt;A TV insider said: “It’s not entirely clear why she didn’t pursue the show, particularly as it would have proved very lucrative to be working with the streaming giant.&lt;/p&gt;
  13394.  
  13395.  
  13396.  
  13397. &lt;p&gt;“It would almost certainly have proved very popular with viewers too. But it’s fair to say she would have struggled time-wise to fit it in alongside all her other projects and, of course, her most important job of being a mother.”&lt;/p&gt;
  13398.  
  13399.  
  13400.  
  13401. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35520133/inside-emily-atacks-son-1st-birthday-party/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Emily had baby Barney last June&lt;/a&gt; with her long-term partner Alistair Garner, and within months, she was juggling being a first-time parent with her TV work.&lt;/p&gt;
  13402.  
  13403.  
  13404.  
  13405. &lt;p&gt;She’s just made a second series of Rivals, a Disney+ adaptation of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22479735/who-jilly-cooper-author/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jilly Cooper’s&lt;/a&gt; epic bonkbuster novel which debuted last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  13406.  
  13407.  
  13408.  
  13409. &lt;p&gt;The eight-parter saw her appear alongside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/david-tennant/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;David Tennant&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/aidan-turner/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Aidan Turner&lt;/a&gt; and the sequel is expected to drop later this year or early in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
  13410.  
  13411.  
  13412.  
  13413. &lt;p&gt;Emily’s role in the show sees her play saucy Sarah Stratton, the second wife and former mistress of MP Paul Stratton.&lt;/p&gt;

  13531.  
  13532.  
  13533.  
  13534. &lt;p&gt;The show is certainly in safe hands with its producers Raw, who have a history of delivering top-class shows, with The Tinder Swindler among their previous successes.&lt;/p&gt;

  13968.  
  13969. &lt;p&gt;SHOPPERS have lost their cool with Tesco after it withdrew a popular Clubcard offer on cold drinks before the heatwave.&lt;/p&gt;
  13970.  
  13971.  
  13972.  
  13973. &lt;p&gt;A range of its own-brand canned soft drinks were on a six for £1.80 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/deals-sales/&quot;&gt;deal&lt;/a&gt; in May, including Orange Zero, Diet Lemonade, Lemon and Lime Zero, Cream Soda and Ginger Beer.&lt;/p&gt;
  13974.  
  13975.  
  13976.  
  13977. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35685839&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kek2rk-clocktower-tesco-store-england-999213364.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Clock tower on a Tesco store in England.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35685839&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;Alamy&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Tesco shoppers have been left fuming after the retailer axed a Clubcard offer[/caption]
  13978.  
  13979.  
  13980.  
  13981. &lt;p&gt;Each can costs 55p, but the offer meant you could get them for 30p each.&lt;/p&gt;
  13982.  
  13983.  
  13984.  
  13985. &lt;p&gt;However, buying six now costs £3.30, almost double the cost of them on the deal. &lt;/p&gt;
  13986.  
  13987.  
  13988.  
  13989. &lt;p&gt;The promotion stopped before temperatures soared, leaving customers hot under the collar.&lt;/p&gt;
  13990.  
  13991.  
  13992.  
  13993. &lt;p&gt;One said this week on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Why have you stopped your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35587125/tesco-clubcard-points-pound50/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Clubcard offer&lt;/a&gt; on mixed cans of your own-brand soft drinks….&lt;/p&gt;
  13994.  
  13995.  
  13996.  
  13997. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have used this offer for months as I find the flavour is very good, especially the ginger beer which I think is as good as any other make.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  13998.  
  13999.  
  14000.  
  14001. &lt;p&gt;Another added on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tesco/&quot;&gt;Tesco&lt;/a&gt; website: &amp;#8220;Very disappointed now Tesco stopped selling it in my local store, (I) had to buy online and now charging 55p a can no longer on the multi deal.&lt;/p&gt;
  14002.  
  14003.  
  14004.  
  14005. &lt;p&gt;“I&amp;#8217;m sure Tesco would have made their &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/money/&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; on the sales? The product is 5* Tesco 1*&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14006.  
  14007.  
  14008.  
  14009. &lt;p&gt;A third said: &amp;#8220;I can’t believe Tesco is being stingy and stopping the offer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14010.  
  14011.  
  14012.  
  14013. &lt;p&gt;Consumer champion Martyn James said: “Supermarkets love brand loyalty &amp;#8211; especially over their own products.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14014.  
  14015.  
  14016.  
  14017. &lt;p&gt;“But when demand is high, they often neglect to pass on deals to people who need a break.&lt;/p&gt;

  14051.  
  14052.  
  14053. &lt;p&gt;Tesco is alternatively offering five selected &lt;span id=&quot;4e90cecf-f57e-419f-94c2-22aab11b68dd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;mini&lt;/span&gt; cans (150ml) for £2.50 Clubcard, including Fanta Orange and Appletiser, although it’s not as cheap as the withdrawn deal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14054.

  14062.  
  14063.  
  14064.  
  14065. &lt;p&gt;It comes after Tesco added an award-winning &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35647458/tesco-award-winning-liqueur-coole-swan-better-than-baileys/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Irish liqueur to shelves for just £20&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14066.  
  14067.  
  14068.  
  14069. &lt;p&gt;The retailer said in February it &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33181430/tesco-clubcard-change-your-prices-extra-money-discounts/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;had launched a trial&lt;/a&gt; offering customers tailored discounts based on their shopping habits too.&lt;/p&gt;

  14151.

  14162.  
  14163.  
  14164.  
  14165. &lt;p&gt;The callous killer casually stretches as an officer tells him: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m sorry to have to do his but we&amp;#8217;ve had an update from the hospital and they&amp;#8217;ve said the injuries to her face look like they&amp;#8217;ve been caused by a person.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14166.  
  14167.  
  14168.  
  14169. &lt;p&gt;Holford stands with a blank expression on his face as the police woman continues: &amp;#8220;The only person with her was yourself.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14170.  
  14171.  
  14172.  
  14173. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yeh me,&amp;#8221; he replies calmly. &lt;/p&gt;
  14174.  
  14175.  
  14176.  
  14177. &lt;p&gt;He is then cuffed and arrested on suspicion of child neglect and GBH.&lt;/p&gt;

  14181. &lt;p&gt;It came after Everleigh&amp;#8217;s grandmother raised the alarm when she noticed the tot was &amp;#8220;only just&amp;#8221; breathing and struggling to cry.&lt;/p&gt;
  14182.  
  14183.  
  14184.  
  14185. &lt;p&gt;The non-responsive baby girl was rushed to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (QEQM) in Margate, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kent/&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  14188.  
  14189. &lt;p&gt;Jurors heard during the trial Holford showed &amp;#8220;little emotion&amp;#8221; at this time, and continued to play games on his phone.&lt;/p&gt;
  14190.  
  14191.  
  14192.  
  14193. &lt;p&gt;He also lied to Kent &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;Police &lt;/a&gt;about smoking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cannabis/page/2/&quot;&gt;cannabis &lt;/a&gt;the night before while he was looking after Everleigh alone.&lt;/p&gt;

  14213. &lt;p&gt;She also had fractured bones and facial bruising, as well as atrophy to her eyes which led her to go blind, and injuries to her anus, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/court/&quot;&gt;court &lt;/a&gt;heard.&lt;/p&gt;
  14214.  
  14215.  
  14216.  
  14217. &lt;p&gt;On Thursday, Holford, of Ramsgate, was found unanimously guilty of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/murderers-serial-killers/&quot;&gt;murder&lt;/a&gt; and actual bodily harm of his daughter at Canterbury Crown Court.&lt;/p&gt;
  14218.  
  14219.  
  14220.  
  14221. &lt;p&gt;The newborn spent more than a year in a vegetative state before dying at 14-months old-on May 27, 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
  14222.  
  14223.  
  14224.  
  14225. &lt;p&gt;Prosecuting, Eloise Marshall KC said: &amp;#8220;On the night of April 20 into the early morning of April 21 2021, when Everleigh was just over five weeks old, she suffered catastrophic injuries which caused substantial brain damage, and that resulted in her death just over a year later,&lt;/p&gt;
  14226.  
  14227.  
  14228.  
  14229. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There is no dispute as to how Everleigh came to suffer those injuries, they were inflicted by her father, Thomas Holford.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14230.  
  14231.  
  14232.  
  14233. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;It is the Crown&amp;#8217;s case that all those injuries were deliberately caused by Thomas Holford, they were what we call non-accidental, members of the jury.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14234.  
  14235.  
  14236.  
  14237. &lt;p&gt;While giving evidence, Holford told jurors he had smoked at least five joints before being left in charge of Everleigh that evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  14238.  
  14239.  
  14240.  
  14241. &lt;p&gt;He told the court he was smoking more than usual because it was &amp;#8220;420&amp;#8221; which he agreed was a &amp;#8220;big day for cannabis smokers&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14242.  
  14243.  
  14244.  
  14245. &lt;p&gt;Cops had discovered a cannabis grinder and joint butts next to a milk bottle in his bedroom.&lt;/p&gt;
  14246.  
  14247.  
  14248.  
  14249. &lt;p&gt;Officers noted the youngster appeared to be in a &amp;#8220;good mood&amp;#8221; playing games when they arrived, despite the fact his baby was fighting for her life in hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  14250.  
  14251.  
  14252.  
  14253. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While speaking with Pc Smith, Thomas Holford continued to show little emotion,&amp;#8221; added Ms Marshall.&lt;/p&gt;
  14254.  
  14255.  
  14256.  
  14257. &lt;p&gt;He lied to police and said he had not smoked cannabis since 10am the previous morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  14258.  
  14259.  
  14260.  
  14261. &lt;p&gt;In court Holford admitted trying to deceive officers to &amp;#8220;project an image of something that is better than reality&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  14262.  
  14263.  
  14264.  
  14265. &lt;p&gt;Jurors were also shown text messages sent by Holford to a contact called Milo.&lt;/p&gt;
  14266.  
  14267.  
  14268.  
  14269. &lt;p&gt;One read: &amp;#8220;Could you strap me anything, as I&amp;#8217;ve got the little one on my own tonight. Going to be f****** stressful.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14270.  
  14271.  
  14272.  
  14273. &lt;p&gt;Holford also confess he had &amp;#8220;manipulated&amp;#8221; his 16-year-old girlfriend&amp;#8217;s family into allowing him to smoke cannabis.&lt;/p&gt;
  14274.  
  14275.  
  14276.  
  14277. &lt;p&gt;In court the 25-year-old tried to claim he couldn&amp;#8217;t remember what happened the night Everleigh suffered her injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  14278.  
  14279.  
  14280.  
  14281. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When it suits you, you have a memory &amp;#8211; and when it doesn&amp;#8217;t suit you, you pretend you don&amp;#8217;t have a memory,&amp;#8221; said Ms Marshall.&lt;/p&gt;
  14282.  
  14283.  
  14284.  
  14285. &lt;p&gt;Holford, who admitted manslaughter of Everleigh last year, will be sentenced for murder and actual bodily harm on July 4.&lt;/p&gt;
  14286.  
  14287.  
  14288.  
  14289. &lt;p&gt;Senior investigating officer in the case, Detective Inspector Ross Gurden said: &amp;#8220;The tragic circumstances of what happened that night, and the following series of events for the family of little Everleigh means this has been an extremely difficult time for them.&lt;/p&gt;
  14290.  
  14291.  
  14292.  
  14293. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Through the investigation, Thomas Holford has failed to tell the truth and accept responsibility for his actions. &lt;/p&gt;
  14294.  
  14295.  
  14296.  
  14297. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He will now be facing a long custodial sentence. My thoughts and wishes remain with the victim’s family and I thank them for their continued strength and support throughout the investigation.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  14585. &lt;p&gt;Slot said: &amp;#8220;What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not.&lt;/p&gt;
  14586.  
  14587.  
  14588.

  14613. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My first thoughts are not those of a football manager. They are of a father, a son, a brother and an uncle and they belong to the family of Diogo and Andre Silva who have experienced such an unimaginable loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  14614.  
  14615.

  14617. &lt;p&gt;The Portuguese national&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/&quot;&gt;football&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;team have said they are “devastated” by Jota&amp;#8217;s death.&lt;/p&gt;
  14618.  
  14619.  
  14620.  
  14621. &lt;p&gt;They added that he “was not only a fantastic player with almost 50 caps for the national team, but also an extraordinary person who was respected by all his teammates and opponents”.&lt;/p&gt;
  14622.  
  14623.  
  14624.  
  14625. &lt;p&gt;Jota had got married just 10 days ago to his longterm partner Rute Cardoso and the couple have three children, Dinis, Duarte, and a daughter&amp;nbsp;who was born in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
  14626.

  14632.

  14642.  
  14643.  
  14644.  
  14645. &lt;p&gt;The Premier League described Jota &amp;#8211; who won the competition for the first time earlier this year &amp;#8211; as a &amp;#8220;champion who will be forever missed&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14646.

  14650.  
  14651.  
  14652.  
  14653. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is with shock and deep regret that we send our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who was also our youth player. May they rest in peace.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14654.  
  14655.  
  14656.  
  14657. &lt;p&gt;There was a minute silence for Jota and his brother during tonight&amp;#8217;s Women&amp;#8217;s Euros match between Spain and Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;

  14678.  
  14679.  
  14680.  
  14681. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish you all the strength in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  14682.  
  14683.  
  14684.  
  14685. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I know you will always be with them. Rest in Peace, Diogo and André. We will all miss you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14686.  
  14687.  
  14688.  
  14689. &lt;p&gt;Lionel Messi posted a touching image of Jota making a heart symbol with his hands with the message &amp;#8220;QEPD&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; short for the Spanish phrase &amp;#8220;que en paz descanse&amp;#8221; which translates to &amp;#8220;may he rest in peace&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14690.  
  14691.  
  14692.  
  14693. &lt;p&gt;Liverpool&amp;#8217;s number nine, Darwin Nunez, shared an image of a beaming Jota coming on as a substitute for the Uruguayan last season.&lt;/p&gt;
  14694.  
  14695.  
  14696.  
  14697. &lt;p&gt;The star striker said he will always remember Jota for his smile.&lt;/p&gt;
  14698.  
  14699.  
  14700.  
  14701. &lt;p&gt;Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has shared his own statement on his &amp;#8220;great friend&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14702.  
  14703.  
  14704.  
  14705. &lt;p&gt;The German, who signed Jota from Wolves for £45m in 2020, said on social media: &amp;#8220;This is a moment where I struggle! There must be a bigger purpose, but I can&amp;#8217;t see it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14706.  
  14707.  
  14708.  
  14709. &lt;p&gt;He continued: &amp;#8220;Diogo was not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father.&lt;/p&gt;
  14710.  
  14711.  
  14712.  
  14713. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We will miss you so much. All my prayers, thoughts and power to Rute, the kids, the family, the friends and everyone who loved them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14714.  
  14715.  
  14716.  
  14717. &lt;p&gt;Fellow Liverpool icons such as Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler and David James have all also paid their respects.&lt;/p&gt;
  14718.  
  14719.  
  14720.  
  14721. &lt;p&gt;Carragher posted on Instagram: “Absolutely devastated by the sad news about Diogo Jota. Thoughts are with his wife Rute and their three kids.”&lt;/p&gt;
  14722.  
  14723.  
  14724.  
  14725. &lt;p&gt;UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer added that Jota&amp;#8217;s death is &amp;#8220;devastating news&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14726.  
  14727.  
  14728.  
  14729. &lt;p&gt;He told reporters today: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m sure I speak for everyone in saying our first thoughts are going to be with his family and his friends in particular.&lt;/p&gt;
  14730.  
  14731.  
  14732.  
  14733. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But there are millions of Liverpool fans, but also football fans, and non-fans, who will also be shocked by this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14734.  
  14735.  
  14736.  
  14737. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KS_GRAPHIC_JOTA_CAREERv3_77ae06.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; width=&quot;1080&quot; height=&quot;1189&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KS_GRAPHIC_JOTA_CAREERv3_77ae06.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=872&quot; alt=&quot;Illustration of Diogo Jota's career statistics, including games played and goals scored for various clubs and the national team.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone wp-image-35680082&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  14738.  
  14739.  
  14740.  
  14741. &lt;p&gt;As Prince William said on X: &amp;#8220;As part of the footballing family, I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14742.  
  14743.  
  14744.  
  14745. &lt;p&gt;Ex-player and pundit Gary Neville, Newcastle hero Alan Shearer and TV presenter&amp;nbsp;Piers Morgan&amp;nbsp;all described the news as &amp;#8220;heartbreaking&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14746.  
  14747.  
  14748.  
  14749. &lt;p&gt;David Beckham also paid his respects.&lt;/p&gt;
  14750.  
  14751.  
  14752.  
  14753. &lt;p&gt;Jota&amp;#8217;s international teammate Ruben Neves posted online: &amp;#8220;They say we only lose people when we forget about them.&lt;/p&gt;
  14754.  
  14755.  
  14756.  
  14757. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ll never forget you!&amp;#8221;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  14758.  
  14759.  
  14760.  
  14761. &lt;p&gt;Lamborghini have also addressed the crash involving one of their cars as they told The Sun: &amp;#8220;We are saddened to learn of the accident that occurred in Spain involving a Lamborghini, in which Diogo and André Jota tragically lost their lives.&lt;/p&gt;
  14762.  
  14763.  
  14764.  
  14765. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In this moment of deep sorrow, we extend our heartfelt condolences to their family.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14766.  
  14767.  
  14768.  
  14769. &lt;p&gt;The Portuguese forward started his career in his birthplace of Porto, playing for Paços de Ferreira.&lt;/p&gt;
  14770.  
  14771.  
  14772.  
  14773. &lt;p&gt;He made his first Primeira Liga appearance in 2015 and a year later moved to Spanish giants&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1362333/atletico-madrid/&quot;&gt;Atletico Madrid&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  14774.  
  14775.  
  14776.  
  14777. &lt;p&gt;But the diminutive striker never made an appearance in&amp;nbsp;La Liga&amp;nbsp;and spent a year on loan at FC Porto where he scored eight goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  14778.  
  14779.  
  14780.  
  14781. &lt;p&gt;This caught the eye of then-Championship side Wolves who loaned the 20-year-old before making the move permanent for a reported £12million.&lt;/p&gt;
  14782.  
  14783.  
  14784.  
  14785. &lt;p&gt;His 17 goals helped propel Wolves to the Premier League where he continued to impress at the highest level, scoring 16 goals over the following two seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
  14786.  
  14787.  
  14788.  
  14789. &lt;p&gt;Then in 2020, Klopp bolstered Liverpool&amp;#8217;s attack by bringing in Jota.&lt;/p&gt;
  14790.  
  14791.  
  14792.  
  14793. &lt;p&gt;In five seasons at the club, he scored 47 Premier League goals and helped Liverpool win the Premier League,&amp;nbsp;FA Cup&amp;nbsp;and two Carabao Cups.&lt;/p&gt;
  14794.  
  14795.  
  14796.  
  14797. &lt;p&gt;Jota was also been a mainstay in&amp;nbsp;Portugal&amp;#8217;s national team for the past five years, scoring 14 goals in 49 appearances for his country.&lt;/p&gt;
  14798.  
  14799.  
  14800.  
  14801. &lt;p&gt;Earlier this&amp;nbsp;summer, he won the&amp;nbsp;UEFA&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/nations-league/&quot;&gt;Nations League&lt;/a&gt;, coming on as a substitute in the final against&amp;nbsp;Spain.&lt;/p&gt;
  14802.

  14814. &lt;div&gt;
  14815. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Sun Sports News Columnist,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/dan-king/&quot;&gt;Dan King&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14816. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DIOGO Jota won every major honour in English football with Liverpool before a car crash cruelly cut short his life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  14817. &lt;p&gt;But the pain of Jota’s death will also be felt particularly hard at Wolves, where he played a key role in the club’s transformation, as well as in his native Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;
  14818. &lt;p&gt;The versatile forward was part of the squad that won a second Nations League title last month.&lt;/p&gt;
  14819. &lt;p&gt;And in the last fortnight, Jota had married long-term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children.&lt;/p&gt;
  14820. &lt;p&gt;His sudden death at the age of 28, along with brother and fellow footballer Andre in an horrific accident, is heartbreaking.&lt;/p&gt;
  14821. &lt;p&gt;Because Jota was not only a highly gifted footballer, he was also one of the good guys.&lt;/p&gt;
  14822. &lt;p&gt;An intelligent, thoughtful man, who spoke English better than some natives and who dedicated himself to his career and family.&lt;/p&gt;
  14823. &lt;p&gt;By helping Liverpool win the Premier League title last season, Jota completed the full set of domestic trophies after the Reds lifted the FA Cup and League Cup in 2021/22.&lt;/p&gt;
  14824. &lt;p&gt;Although injury and competition for places restricted Jota’s contribution, he still scored key goals as Arne Slot’s side claimed a record-equalling 20th English championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  14825. &lt;p&gt;What turned out to be the last of his 65 strikes for the Reds was the only goal in the Merseyside derby at Anfield in February.&lt;/p&gt;
  14826. &lt;p&gt;It was typical Jota. While Everton defenders hesitated, the small but strong Portuguese forward bustled on to the ball, beat two men and buried the ball in the net.&lt;/p&gt;
  14827. &lt;p&gt;Jota had bumps in the road before reaching the top of the game with Liverpool and Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;
  14828. &lt;p&gt;After making his debut for Pacos de Ferreira at the age of 17, he moved to Atletico Madrid at 19.&lt;/p&gt;
  14829. &lt;p&gt;But he soon went on loan to Porto, where he did well enough to attract the attention of ambitious Wolves, who were then in the Championship.&lt;/p&gt;
  14830. &lt;p&gt;In his first season in England, he scored 17 league goals to fire the club back into the Premier League as champions.&lt;/p&gt;
  14831. &lt;p&gt;Jota was a popular member of the dressing room which featured a strong Portuguese contingent.&lt;/p&gt;
  14832. &lt;p&gt;He held his own in the top flight, but there was some surprise when Liverpool signed him in a deal worth up to £45m.&lt;/p&gt;
  14833. &lt;p&gt;Yet in his five seasons at Anfield, he played an important role in the Reds’ potent front four as the club claimed English honours and went close to European glory.&lt;/p&gt;
  14834. &lt;p&gt;Jota scored 21 times as Jurgen Klopp’s side hunted down a Quadruple in 2021/2, winning the domestic cups, taking the title race to the final day and losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid.&lt;/p&gt;
  14835. &lt;p&gt;His total of 65 goals in 182 appearances does not tell the full story of his contribution on and off the field.&lt;/p&gt;
  14836. &lt;p&gt;After coming close more than once, it was special for Jota finally to lift the Premier League trophy in May.&lt;/p&gt;
  14837. &lt;p&gt;For Portugal, Jota was part of a generation that delivered glory.&lt;/p&gt;
  14838. &lt;p&gt;He was uncapped when selected in the squad for the Nations League final stages on home soil in 2019 and did not feature, making his debut later in the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  14839. &lt;p&gt;Jota would go on to score 14 in 49 appearances. His last was as an extra-time substitute in last month’s Nations League final against Spain, which Portugal won on penalties.&lt;/p&gt;
  14840. &lt;p&gt;That triumph was part of what was surely the best year of Jota’s life. For it to have ended, in such terrible circumstances, is incomprehensible.&lt;/p&gt;
  14841. &lt;/div&gt;
  14842. &lt;/div&gt;

  14917. &lt;p&gt;According to the actor&amp;#8217;s manager, Madsen died from cardiac arrest.&lt;/p&gt;
  14918.  
  14919.  
  14920.  
  14921. &lt;p&gt;His death came as a shock, as the Hollywood star, who is known for his work with director Quentin Tarantino, was working on many independent film projects when the tragedy struck, his manager said.&lt;/p&gt;
  14922.  
  14923.  
  14924.  
  14925. &lt;p&gt;Just months before he collapsed, Madsen celebrated a career highlight by becoming the new face of a cigar company and was pictured on the front page of Hollywood Times.&lt;/p&gt;
  14926.  
  14927.  
  14928.  
  14929. &lt;p&gt;However, amid his professional success, the actor had a long troubled personal life, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/35688488/michael-madsen-final-picture-before-death/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;recent photos show him looking disheveled&lt;/a&gt; at a theater expo just months ago. &lt;/p&gt;
  14930.  
  14931.  
  14932.  
  14933. &lt;p&gt;Most recently, he was embroiled in a bitter legal battle with his estranged wife, DeAnna Madsen, after 28 years of marriage.&lt;/p&gt;
  14934.  
  14935.  
  14936.  
  14937. &lt;p&gt;Madsen filed for divorce from DeAnna in September, and said the couple had been separated since January 2022, shortly after their 26-year-old son Hudson died by suicide, court documents seen by &lt;a aria-label=&quot;People (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://people.com/michael-madsen-files-divorce-wife-deanna-28-years-alleges-drove-son-suicide-8715099&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;People&lt;/a&gt; say.&lt;/p&gt;
  14938.  
  14939.  
  14940.  
  14941. &lt;p&gt;He blamed his wife for inflaming their son&amp;#8217;s mental health battle with her &amp;#8220;neglect, drinking, and alcoholism&amp;#8221; and said they had &amp;#8220;irreconcilable differences&amp;#8221; in the docs.&lt;/p&gt;
  14942.  
  14943.  
  14944.  
  14945. &lt;p&gt;The actor described their relationship as &amp;#8220;abusive, dependent, and toxic&amp;#8221; and even requested a domestic violence restraining order against his wife.&lt;/p&gt;
  14946.  
  14947.  
  14948.  
  14949. &lt;p&gt;This filing came one month after Madsen was arrested for battery of a spouse after he was accused of pushing DeAnna and locking her out of their Los Angeles home.&lt;/p&gt;
  14950.  
  14951.  
  14952.  
  14953. &lt;p&gt;Days after that arrest, his lawyer Perry Wander said, “Michael has shown immense compassion and restraint during this period towards his estranged wife,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.&lt;/p&gt;
  14954.  
  14955.  
  14956.  
  14957. &lt;p&gt;“He’s definitely not guilty of domestic violence.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14958.  
  14959.  
  14960.  
  14961. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, when speaking on the alleged battery incident, DeAnna accused her estranged partner of &amp;#8220;struggling with his own personal issues.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14962.

  14970.  
  14971.  
  14972.  
  14973. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Myself and our children have been supporting him to the best of our ability. We would request privacy at this time,&amp;#8221; she told the outlet.&lt;/p&gt;
  14974.  
  14975.  
  14976.  
  14977. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;ACTOR&amp;#8217;S U-TURN&lt;/h2&gt;
  14978.  
  14979.  
  14980.  
  14981. &lt;p&gt;Weeks after the filings were made public, Madsen released an emotional statement on social media, saying that he wished his &amp;#8220;wife no harm or embarrassment.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14982.  
  14983.  
  14984.  
  14985. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Losing a child is the hardest and most painful experience that can happen in this world,&amp;#8221; he wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  14986.  
  14987.  
  14988.  
  14989. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I deeply apologize for not correcting this earlier but I love my wife and our other 4 children and have no desire for divorce or blame.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14990.  
  14991.  
  14992.  
  14993. &lt;p&gt;Madsen clarified that his wife has &amp;#8220;absolutely nothing to do with what happened to our son&amp;#8221; and described the death as a &amp;#8220;horrible loss.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  14994.  
  14995.  
  14996.  
  14997. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I don&amp;#8217;t think my son is dead, I think he escaped from a life that didn&amp;#8217;t make sense anymore,&amp;#8221; he wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
  14998.  
  14999.  
  15000.  
  15001. &lt;p&gt;Court records show that Madsen dropped his request for a restraining order against his wife, but his divorce filing was still active,  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/michael-madsen-withdraws-restraining-order-180050754.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;The Blast (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The Blast&lt;/a&gt; reported.&lt;/p&gt;
  15002.  
  15003.  
  15004.  
  15005. &lt;p&gt;Days after his son&amp;#8217;s death, Madsen said that he was &amp;#8220;in shock&amp;#8221; because they had just spoken days earlier, and Hudson seemed &amp;#8220;happy.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15006.  
  15007.  
  15008.  
  15009. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My last text from him was &amp;#8216;I love you dad,'&amp;#8221; the actor told the &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-01-25/michael-madsen-son-dead-hudson-madsen&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Los Angeles Times&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15010.  
  15011.  
  15012.  
  15013. &lt;p&gt;Hudson had just completed his first round in the US Army when he died. He was married and was serving as a sergeant in Hawaii.&lt;/p&gt;
  15014.  
  15015.  
  15016.  
  15017. &lt;p&gt;Madsen said he &amp;#8220;didn’t see any signs of depression&amp;#8221; and described the suicide as &amp;#8220;so tragic and sad.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15018.  
  15019.  
  15020.  
  15021. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  15022.  
  15023.  
  15024.  
  15025. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;MADSEN REMEMBERED&lt;/h2&gt;
  15026.  
  15027.  
  15028.  
  15029. &lt;p&gt;The actor is best known for his roles in the Tarantino films Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.&lt;/p&gt;
  15030.  
  15031.  
  15032.  
  15033. &lt;p&gt;He was attached to 18 different unreleased projects when he died, including a number of independent feature films, according to his&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000514/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;IMDB page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15034.  
  15035.  
  15036.  
  15037. &lt;p&gt;In an emotional statement, his representatives&amp;nbsp;said that the actor was &amp;#8220;was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life&amp;#8221; and had planned to release a new book.&lt;/p&gt;
  15038.  
  15039.  
  15040.  
  15041. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, who will be missed by many,&amp;#8221; the statement said.&lt;/p&gt;

  15076. &lt;p&gt;SONAY KARTAL is enjoying an ink-redible Wimbledon and is rising up the rankings.&lt;/p&gt;
  15077.  
  15078.  
  15079.  
  15080. &lt;p&gt;The 23-year-old was down at No.259 ahead of last year&amp;#8217;s tournament at the All England Club after a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28942142/sonay-kartal-coco-gauff-wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;health battle left her hospitalised&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  15097.  
  15098.  
  15099.  
  15100. &lt;p&gt;But a fantastic year in which she has won her first ever WTA Tour title and made at least the third round of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; will see Kartal climb into the world&amp;#8217;s top 50.&lt;/p&gt;
  15101.  
  15102.  
  15103.  
  15104. &lt;p&gt;Off the court, she has been in a relationship with bodybuilder Luke Ogbourn.&lt;/p&gt;
  15105.  
  15106.  
  15107.  
  15108. &lt;p&gt;He bought her flowers after she made the first round at SW19 last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  15109.  
  15110.  
  15111.  
  15112. &lt;p&gt;Though it is unclear whether they are still an item as Ogbourn has not been spotted at Wimbledon this year and traces of their relationship have disappeared from social media.&lt;/p&gt;
  15113.  
  15114.  
  15115.  
  15116. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35684958/wimbledon-sonay-kartal-tennis-coach/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kartal&lt;/a&gt; was born in London but grew up in Brighton alongside her sister and brother.&lt;/p&gt;
  15117.  
  15118.  
  15119.  
  15120. &lt;p&gt;She is of Turkish descent and her dad used to own a &amp;#8220;kebab takeaway&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;sit down restaurant&amp;#8221; serving food from his country.&lt;/p&gt;
  15121.  
  15122.  
  15123.  
  15124. &lt;p&gt;Kartal boasts an incredible &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35636617/what-do-jack-drapers-tattoos-mean-wimbledon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;tattoo collection&lt;/a&gt; and she has lifted the lid on their meanings.&lt;/p&gt;
  15125.  
  15126.  
  15127.  
  15128. &lt;p&gt;She told &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;SunSport&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;I got a bee. I kind of left it to my sister. She was like, &amp;#8216;will you get matching tattoo with me?&amp;#8217; &lt;/p&gt;

  15133.  
  15134.  
  15135.  
  15136. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I went and played my match and she came back like, &amp;#8216;I&amp;#8217;ve got one.&amp;#8217; Didn&amp;#8217;t tell me what it was and I kind of had to get bee.&lt;/p&gt;
  15137.  
  15138.  
  15139.  
  15140. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My most special one is my first dog, a golden retriever. When he passed away I got doggy ink and did his paw print downsized. &lt;/p&gt;
  15141.  
  15142.  
  15143.  
  15144. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The eagle is because Kartal means eagle in Turkish. &lt;/p&gt;
  15145.  
  15146.  
  15147.  
  15148. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The date, it says 2022, I did all the four Grand Slams, my first time. &lt;/p&gt;
  15149.  
  15150.  
  15151.  
  15152. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The knuckle ones just trying to be stylish maybe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  15153.  
  15154.  
  15155.  
  15156. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The snake, I was just scrolling through my phone and saw that one as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  15172. &lt;p&gt;Kartal explained: &amp;#8220;It’s just a quote I like to live by. Sometimes I think I can get a bit stressy and stuff, so for me, it kind of just tells me to calm down and just to be in the moment a little bit.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15173.  
  15174.  
  15175.  
  15176. &lt;p&gt;Asked if a Wimbledon tattoo could be next, she replied: &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m pretty open to maybe. &lt;/p&gt;
  15177.  
  15178.  
  15179.  
  15180. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Not a strawberry, but I&amp;#8217;d get something that is not so obvious that means Wimbledon but something that if you know Wimbledon, you’d know what it is. &lt;/p&gt;
  15181.  
  15182.  
  15183.  
  15184. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Growing up, I was the type of person I&amp;#8217;m never going to get a tattoo. I never really liked them. &lt;/p&gt;
  15185.  
  15186.  
  15187.  
  15188. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And then I got one when I was on holiday. Now I’ve got like 14.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  15253.  
  15254.  
  15255.  
  15256. &lt;p&gt;Tributes poured in from across the world of sport, not just football.&lt;/p&gt;
  15257.  
  15258.  
  15259.  
  15260. &lt;p&gt;His club described the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35676012/diogo-jota-dead-car-crash-liverpool-portuguese-fa-statement/&quot;&gt;loss of the 28-year-old as &amp;#8220;devastating&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15261.  
  15262.  
  15263.  
  15264. &lt;p&gt;Manager Slot has now penned his own heartfelt tribute for the Portuguese footballer, saying he was &amp;#8220;loved by all&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  15265.  
  15266.  
  15267.  
  15268. &lt;p&gt;In a tribute shared on Liverpool&amp;#8217;s website, Slot, 46, said: &amp;#8220;What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not.&lt;/p&gt;
  15269.  
  15270.  
  15271.  
  15272. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All I have are feelings that I know so many people will share about a person and a player we loved dearly and a family we care so much about.&lt;/p&gt;
  15273.  
  15274.  
  15275.  
  15276. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My first thoughts are not those of a football manager. They are of a father, a son, a brother and an uncle and they belong to the family of Diogo and Andre Silva who have experienced such an unimaginable loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  15277.  
  15278.  
  15279.  
  15280. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My message to them is very clear – you will never walk alone. The players, the staff, the supporters of Liverpool Football Club are all with you and from what I have seen today, the same can be said of the wider family of football.&lt;/p&gt;
  15281.  
  15282.  
  15283.  
  15284. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is not solely a response to tragedy. It is also a reaction to the goodness of the people involved and the respect that so many have for the boys as individuals and for the family as a whole.&lt;/p&gt;
  15285.  
  15286.  
  15287.  
  15288. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For us as a club, the sense of shock is absolute. Diogo was not just our player. He was a loved one to all of us. He was a team-mate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15289.  
  15290.  
  15291.  
  15292. &lt;p&gt;Slot went on to praise Jota&amp;#8217;s humble nature, never seeking popularity but finding it, and befriending everyone as someone who made others feel good about themselves. &lt;/p&gt;

  15316. &lt;p&gt;The Dutchman also highlighted the late attacker&amp;#8217;s hard work, desire, commitment, great quality, and goals as a player.&lt;/p&gt;
  15317.  
  15318.  
  15319.  
  15320. &lt;p&gt;He then revealed his final conversation with Jota was to congratulate him for Portugal&amp;#8217;s victory in the Uefa Nations League and wishing him luck for his wedding.&lt;/p&gt;
  15321.  
  15322.  
  15323.  
  15324. &lt;p&gt;Dad-of-three Jota &lt;span&gt;had married his&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675624/diogo-jota-wife-rute-cardoso/&quot;&gt;high school sweetheart Rute Cardoso&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;just 10 days before his heartbreaking passing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15325.  
  15326.  
  15327.  
  15328. &lt;p&gt;Slot continued: &amp;#8220;When I first came to the club, one of the first songs I got to know was the one that our fans sing for Diogo. &lt;/p&gt;
  15329.  
  15330.  
  15331.  
  15332. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had not worked with him previously but I knew straight away that if the Liverpool supporters, who have seen so many great players over the years, had such a unique chant for Diogo, he must have special qualities.&lt;/p&gt;
  15333.  
  15334.  
  15335.  
  15336. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That we have lost those qualities in such terrible circumstances is something we have not yet come to terms with. &lt;/p&gt;
  15337.  
  15338.  
  15339.  
  15340. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For this reason, we need everyone at the club to stand together and to be there for one another. We owe this to Diogo, to Andre Silva, to their wider family and to ourselves.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15341.  
  15342.  
  15343.  
  15344. &lt;p&gt;Slot rounded out his tribute by paying his respects to Jota&amp;#8217;s family and declaring that he will never be forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;
  15345.  
  15346.  
  15347.  
  15348. &lt;p&gt;He added: &amp;#8220;My condolences go to Diogo’s wife, Rute, their three beautiful children and to the parents of Diogo and Andre Silva.&lt;/p&gt;
  15349.  
  15350.  
  15351.  
  15352. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When the time is right, we will celebrate Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and we will sing his song. &lt;/p&gt;
  15353.  
  15354.  
  15355.  
  15356. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For the time being, we will remember him as a unique human being and mourn his loss. He will never be forgotten. His name is Diogo.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15357.  
  15358.  
  15359.  
  15360. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675487/diogo-jota-death-updates-car-crash/&quot;&gt;Tributes also poured in from colleagues&lt;/a&gt; past and present.&lt;/p&gt;
  15361.  
  15362.  
  15363.  
  15364. &lt;p&gt;Former manager Jurgen Klopp said: &amp;#8220;This is a moment where I struggle! There must be a bigger purpose! But I can’t see it!&lt;/p&gt;
  15365.  
  15366.  
  15367.  
  15368. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother Andre.&lt;/p&gt;
  15369.  
  15370.  
  15371.  
  15372. &lt;p&gt;“Diogo was not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father! We will miss you so much!&lt;/p&gt;
  15373.  
  15374.  
  15375.  
  15376. &lt;p&gt;“All my prayers, thoughts and&amp;nbsp;power&amp;nbsp;to Rute, the kids, the family, the friends and everyone who loved them! Rest in peace &amp;#8211; Love J.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15377.  
  15378.  
  15379.  
  15380. &lt;p&gt;Team-mate Andrew Robertson said: &amp;#8220;The ones I’m thinking about most right now are the family. Their loss is too much to bear. I’m so sorry that they have lost two such precious souls – Diogo and Andre.&lt;/p&gt;
  15381.  
  15382.  
  15383.  
  15384. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For the team and the Club, we’ll try to cope with this together… however long that takes. For me, I want to talk about my mate. My buddy. The bloke I loved and will miss like crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
  15385.  
  15386.  
  15387.  
  15388. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I could talk about him as a player for hours, but none of that feels like it matters right now&amp;#8230; &lt;/p&gt;
  15389.  
  15390.  
  15391.  
  15392. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye. It’s too soon, and it hurts so much. But thank you for being in my life, mate – and for making it better. Love you, Diogo.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15393.  
  15394.  
  15395.  
  15396. &lt;p&gt;Trent Alexander-Arnold, who held a minute&amp;#8217;s silence alongside his Real Madrid team-mates in training, said: &amp;#8220;It’s so difficult to find the right words when your head and heart are struggling to accept that someone you care so much about has gone.&lt;/p&gt;
  15397.  
  15398.  
  15399.  
  15400. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Diogo, your family was your world. They were everything. For Rute, his children, and his parents, all of our hearts are broken. And for Andre as well. Brothers and best friends.&lt;/p&gt;
  15401.  
  15402.  
  15403.  
  15404. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When it’s less painful, I want to remember Diogo with a big smile. So many laughs and happy moments. He was such a great teammate and a true friend. Forever number 20. Rest in peace, Diogo.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15405.  
  15406.  
  15407.  
  15408. &lt;p&gt;The club have also opened a condolence book for fans to pay their respects both at Anfield and online.&lt;/p&gt;

  15419. What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not. &lt;/p&gt;
  15421. &lt;div&gt;
  15422. &lt;p&gt;All I have are feelings that I know so many people will share about a person and a player we loved dearly and a family we care so much about.&lt;/p&gt;

  15426. &lt;p&gt;For us as a club, the sense of shock is absolute. Diogo was not just our player. He was a loved one to all of us. He was a team-mate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special.&lt;/p&gt;
  15427. &lt;p&gt;I could say so much about what he brought to our team but the truth is everyone who watched Diogo play could see it. Hard work, desire, commitment, great quality, goals. The essence of what a Liverpool player should be.&lt;/p&gt;
  15428. &lt;p&gt;There were also the parts that not everyone got to see. The person who never sought popularity but found it anyway. Not a friend to two people, a friend to everyone. Someone who made others feel good about themselves just by being with them. A person who cared deeply for his family.&lt;/p&gt;
  15429. &lt;p&gt;The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the Nations League and wished him luck for his forthcoming wedding. In many ways, it was a dream summer for Diogo and his family, which makes it all the more heartbreaking that it should end like this.&lt;/p&gt;
  15430. &lt;p&gt;When I first came to the club, one of the first songs I got to know was the one that our fans sing for Diogo. I had not worked with him previously but I knew straight away that if the Liverpool supporters, who have seen so many great players over the years, had such a unique chant for Diogo, he must have special qualities.&lt;/p&gt;
  15431. &lt;p&gt;That we have lost those qualities in such terrible circumstances is something we have not yet come to terms with. For this reason, we need everyone at the club to stand together and to be there for one another. We owe this to Diogo, to Andre Silva, to their wider family and to ourselves.&lt;/p&gt;
  15432. &lt;p&gt;My condolences go to Diogo’s wife, Rute, their three beautiful children and to the parents of Diogo and Andre Silva.&lt;/p&gt;
  15433. &lt;p&gt;When the time is right, we will celebrate Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and we will sing his song. For the time being, we will remember him as a unique human being and mourn his loss. He will never be forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;
  15434. &lt;p&gt;His name is Diogo.&lt;/p&gt;
  15435. &lt;/div&gt;
  15436. &lt;/div&gt;

  15494.  
  15495.  
  15496.  
  15497. &lt;p&gt;He was said to have wooed her from behind bars &amp;#8211; sending Amelia bouquets of flowers and her visiting him in prison regularly.&lt;/p&gt;
  15498.  
  15499.  
  15500.  
  15501. &lt;p&gt;But a friend of the former reality star has told The Sun: &amp;#8220;Amelia has called off her romance with Arthur.&lt;/p&gt;
  15502.  
  15503.  
  15504.  
  15505. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Some members of her family only found out about her romance after reading about it in the Sun and urged her to dump him especially after seeing the pictures of him injecting himself with steroids from behind bars.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15506.  
  15507.  
  15508.  
  15509. &lt;p&gt;But concerned family members are said to be worried that it&amp;#8217;s only a matter of time before she gives Collins a second chance.&lt;/p&gt;
  15510.  
  15511.  
  15512.  
  15513. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They’ve told Amelia he’s ‘bad news’ and she shouldn’t put her life on hold for him,&amp;#8221; they continued.&lt;/p&gt;
  15514.  
  15515.  
  15516.  
  15517. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They are worried Collins has a hold over her.&lt;/p&gt;
  15518.  
  15519.  
  15520.  
  15521. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Amelia has told her family she has dumped him for good but her friends believe it won’t be long before she starts seeing him again because of the hold he has over her.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  15522.  
  15523.  
  15524.  
  15525. &lt;p&gt;The Sun has reached out to Amelia&amp;#8217;s rep for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
  15526.  
  15527.  
  15528.  
  15529. &lt;p&gt;Just last week The Sun revealed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35536204/ferne-mccann-arthur-collins-love-island-amelia-peters/&quot;&gt;shamed acid attacker Collins&amp;#8217; new romance.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15530.  
  15531.  
  15532.  
  15533. &lt;p&gt;A source said at the time: “They talk all the time — despite the fact he’s in jail.&lt;/p&gt;

  15561. &lt;p&gt;Possessing a phone in jail is an offence and can lead to a loss of privileges or a longer sentence. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5361384/arthur-collins-jailed-eight-extra-months-ferne-mccann/&quot;&gt;Collins got an extra eight months&lt;/a&gt; in 2018 for smuggling a phone into jail.&lt;/p&gt;
  15562.  
  15563.  
  15564.  
  15565. &lt;p&gt;His fresh antics emerged after The Sun on Sunday revealed that scheming lag Collins had a “steroid”&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35512546/ferne-mccann-arthur-collins-drugs-jail-steroid-acid-attacker/&quot;&gt;injected into his bottom&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in his cell.&lt;/p&gt;

  15578.  
  15579.  
  15580.  
  15581. &lt;p&gt;On his birthday last month, she posted on her Instagram an image of red roses with the letter “A” above them.&lt;/p&gt;
  15582.  
  15583.  
  15584.

  15588.  
  15589. &lt;p&gt;Our source went on: “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18716133/love-island-amelia-peters-casa-amor/&quot;&gt;Amelia&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has made no secret of her relationship with Arthur and has told her friends she’s mad about him and thinks he’s the one.&lt;/p&gt;

  15598.  
  15599.  
  15600.  
  15601. &lt;p&gt;Another source, close to Amelia, tried to downplay talk of a romance and said: “She’s visited Arthur but he is a family friend.”&lt;/p&gt;

  15826. &lt;div&gt;
  15827. &lt;p&gt;He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother—etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark. &lt;/p&gt;
  15828. &lt;p&gt;We’re not mourning a public figure. We’re not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart. Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes—gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable—half legend, half lullaby. &lt;/p&gt;
  15829. &lt;p&gt;I’ll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I’ll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother. &lt;/p&gt;
  15830. &lt;p&gt;Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we’ll share how we plan to celebrate his life—but for now, we stay close, and let the silence say what words can’t.&lt;/p&gt;

  15903.  
  15904. &lt;p&gt;THE EVIL dad of brave double-amputee Tony Hudgell is set to be released from prison – just days after the youngster’s birth mother was let out of jail, it can be revealed.&lt;/p&gt;
  15905.  
  15906.  
  15907.  
  15908. &lt;p&gt;A parole board hearing has decided &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35481795/dad-abused-my-boy-i-want-him-released/&quot;&gt;Anthony Smith&lt;/a&gt;, 53, can be released after serving just seven years of his 10-year sentence.&lt;/p&gt;

  15921.  
  15922.  
  15923.  
  15924. &lt;p&gt;He was jailed in 2018 after his baby son, Tony, now 10, was discovered to be in a critical condition having suffered a litany of terrible injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  15925.  
  15926.  
  15927.  
  15928. &lt;p&gt;Medics had to remove the tot’s legs below the knee.&lt;/p&gt;
  15929.  
  15930.  
  15931.  
  15932. &lt;p&gt;Tony, the youngest ever recipient of the British Empire Medal for his fundraising efforts, was only 41 days old at the time of the abuse and continues to suffer from the effects of his parent’s cruelty.&lt;/p&gt;
  15933.  
  15934.  
  15935.  
  15936. &lt;p&gt;The decision comes in the same week Tony’s cruel birth mum &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35635937/mum-freed-early-abused-son-amputated/&quot;&gt;Jody Simpson&lt;/a&gt;, 33, was released from jail.&lt;/p&gt;
  15937.  
  15938.  
  15939.  
  15940. &lt;p&gt;A Parole Board summary of Smith’s hearing revealed&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35395857/dad-abused-son-could-be-freed-jail-early/&quot;&gt; he will face strict license conditions&lt;/a&gt; upon his release, including wearing a GPS tag and a curfew.&lt;/p&gt;
  15941.  
  15942.  
  15943.  
  15944. &lt;p&gt;The panel heard that there would be extensive supervision of Smith under the proposed release plan. &lt;/p&gt;
  15945.  
  15946.  
  15947.  
  15948. &lt;p&gt;The panel concluded this plan would be “robust enough to manage him in the community.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15949.  
  15950.  
  15951.  
  15952. &lt;p&gt;The summary said : “After considering the circumstances of his offending, the progress made while in custody, the recommendations of the witnesses, and the evidence presented at the hearing, the panel was satisfied that imprisonment was no longer necessary for the protection of the public.”&lt;/p&gt;
  15953.  
  15954.  
  15955.  
  15956. &lt;p&gt;Other licence conditions include having to comply with other identified limitations concerning contacts, activities and residency to avoid contact with victims, and to protect &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/parenting/page/2/&quot;&gt;children &lt;/a&gt;in general.&lt;/p&gt;
  15957.  
  15958.  
  15959.  
  15960. &lt;p&gt;He will also have to meet specified restrictions relating to the use of mobile phones.&lt;/p&gt;

  15983.  
  15984. &lt;p&gt;Tony’s adopted mum &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25078596/paula-hudgell-child-cruelty-register-plans-rejected/&quot;&gt;Paula Hudgell&lt;/a&gt;, 57, does not believe the conditions go far enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  15985.  
  15986.  
  15987.  
  15988. &lt;p&gt;The anti-child cruelty campaigner from West Malling, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kent/&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt;, said: “Another of Tony’s remorseless birth parents is now going to be living free &amp;#8211; while the boy they harmed deals with life-long injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
  15989.  
  15990.  
  15991.  
  15992. &lt;p&gt;“He will be on licence, and I appreciate that he will be monitored, but after that licence expires he will do what he did while on bail and disappear.&lt;/p&gt;
  15993.  
  15994.  
  15995.  
  15996. &lt;p&gt;“We know he uses aliases, we know he is a danger to children and yet he won’t be tracked past the expiration of his licence.&lt;/p&gt;
  15997.  
  15998.  
  15999.  
  16000. &lt;p&gt;“In my opinion he has shown absolutely no remorse for what he did to Tony &amp;#8211; none at all &amp;#8211; he remains a dangerous, violent person.&lt;/p&gt;
  16001.  
  16002.  
  16003.  
  16004. &lt;p&gt;“This is why I keep continuing the campaign to introduce the Child Cruelty Register so we can keep track of people who could do harm to more kids.&lt;/p&gt;
  16005.  
  16006.  
  16007.  
  16008. &lt;p&gt;“It’s not just about Smith or Simpson, it’s about making sure child abusers are prevented from harming innocent children.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16009.  
  16010.  
  16011.  
  16012. &lt;p&gt;Smith, along with Tony’s birth mum Jody Simpson, 33, was convicted of causing or allowing a child to sustain an injury and neglect by failing to seek immediate medical attention and sentenced to 10 years in jail.&lt;/p&gt;
  16013.  
  16014.  
  16015.  
  16016. &lt;p&gt;Doctors discovered baby &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35337710/mum-tortured-boy-lost-legs/&quot;&gt;Tony had multiple catastrophic injuries&lt;/a&gt; to his tiny body &amp;#8211; with both his birth parents failing to get him help before it was almost too late.&lt;/p&gt;
  16017.  
  16018.  
  16019.  
  16020. &lt;p&gt;Medical staff at Evelina London Children&amp;#8217;s Hospital saved the tot’s life, but he had to have both legs amputated at the knee as a result of his injuries when he was four-years-old, and has faced countless operations in the years that followed.&lt;/p&gt;
  16021.  
  16022.  
  16023.  
  16024. &lt;p&gt;Simpson was released from prison earlier this week, after serving only around six years of her sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  16025.  
  16026.  
  16027.  
  16028. &lt;p&gt;But after two years on licence she, like Smith, will face no conditions on her freedom.&lt;/p&gt;
  16029.  
  16030.  
  16031.  
  16032. &lt;p&gt;The evil mum was first released from prison on license in February 2023 &amp;#8211; after only serving five years of her sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
  16033.  
  16034.  
  16035.  
  16036. &lt;p&gt;Then, less than a year later in May 2024, the monster&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/28388878/tony-hudgell-mum-jody-simpson-prison-fling/&quot;&gt; was recalled to prison &lt;/a&gt;after starting a relationship with a sex offender &amp;#8211; in breach of her conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  16037.  
  16038.  
  16039.  
  16040. &lt;p&gt;She was due to be automatically re-released earlier this year, but Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood stepped in – forcing Simpson to face a parole hearing on May 19.&lt;/p&gt;
  16041.  
  16042.  
  16043.  
  16044. &lt;p&gt;The cruel parent has now been released, with strict license conditions controlling what she does for the next couple of years.&lt;/p&gt;
  16045.  
  16046.  
  16047.  
  16048. &lt;p&gt;She will have to report any new relationships to her probation officer, get regularly &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drug &lt;/a&gt;tested and will be GPS tagged.&lt;/p&gt;
  16049.  
  16050.  
  16051.  
  16052. &lt;p&gt;At the time, Paula said: “It just feels very unfair that Simpson is now free to live her life and Tony is still dealing with the consequences of her actions and will be for life.&lt;/p&gt;
  16053.  
  16054.  
  16055.  
  16056. &lt;p&gt;“I appreciate there is a prison overcrowding crisis and that the Parole Board has placed strict conditions on her, but it does not feel like enough.&lt;/p&gt;
  16057.  
  16058.  
  16059.  
  16060. &lt;p&gt;“After her license expires in two years’ time she will be completely free to do whatever she wants &amp;#8211; including getting in a situation where she could cause harm to more children.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16061.  
  16062.

  16134.  
  16135.

  16142.  
  16143.  
  16144.

  16146.  
  16147.  
  16148.  
  16149. &lt;p&gt;For followers at at home, they couldn&amp;#8217;t believe how grown up and big Sam has got, as he towered over his dad in the clip.&lt;/p&gt;
  16150.  
  16151.  
  16152.  
  16153. &lt;p&gt;One said: &amp;#8220;He’s so much bigger than you now Ben. Won’t be long before Leo’s bigger than me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  16312.  
  16313.  
  16314.  
  16315. &lt;p&gt;As a result, she has been left with very little coverage on the crown of her head which she admits leaves her feeling self-conscious.&lt;/p&gt;
  16316.  
  16317.

  16319. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Although completely natural,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://zephrapi.thesun.ie/health/10515743/hair-transplant-surgeon-stop-hair-loss/&quot;&gt;hair loss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and hair thinning are two very common concerns for millions of people across the UK.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16320.  
  16321.  
  16322.  
  16323. &lt;p&gt;We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hair-loss/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NHS.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  16326.  
  16327. &lt;p&gt;It is not usually something to worry about, but occasionally it can be a sign of a medical condition.&lt;/p&gt;
  16328.  
  16329.  
  16330.  
  16331. &lt;p&gt;These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency.&lt;/p&gt;
  16332.  
  16333.  
  16334.  
  16335. &lt;p&gt;The NHS advises to book an appointment with your GP to see if you can get to the cause of it if it is affecting your wellbeing.&lt;/p&gt;
  16336.  
  16337.  
  16338.  
  16339. &lt;p&gt;For mum-of-four Yasmine, from Scotland, hair loss is something she has struggled with for the past two decades.&lt;/p&gt;
  16340.  
  16341.  
  16342.  
  16343. &lt;p&gt;She told Fabulous: &amp;#8220;My hair loss journey started when I was 11-years-old due to a stressful event in my life. &lt;/p&gt;
  16344.  
  16345.  
  16346.  
  16347. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My doctor prescribed medical shampoo, but it was still very thin and fine on the top. &lt;/p&gt;
  16348.  
  16349.  
  16350.  
  16351. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Also with three pregnancies it’s not exactly helped either with the hair on top.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  16374.  
  16375. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;My hair is healthy and I saw the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/35669372/hairdresser-three-icks-clients-appointments/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; aria-label=&quot;hairdresser (opens in a new tab)&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;hairdresser&lt;/a&gt; today who said that, it’s just very thin on the top.&lt;/p&gt;
  16376.  
  16377.  
  16378.  
  16379. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Because my natural hair is so dark too it’s really obvious that it’s thin as you can see my white scalp easily.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16380.  
  16381.  
  16382.  
  16383. &lt;p&gt;The brunette beauty, married to Scottish rugby hero Zander Fagerson, has tried root sprays in the past but struggled to find one that would successfully stain her scalp to give the illusion of more hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  16384.  
  16385.  
  16386.  
  16387. &lt;p&gt;Now, however, she has opened up about her clever haircare routine that has given her a major confidence boost.&lt;/p&gt;
  16388.  
  16389.  
  16390.  
  16391. &lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s all thanks to the Josh Wood Colour Airbrush Root Spray, which is available in blonde, brown and dark brown.&lt;/p&gt;
  16392.  
  16393.  
  16394.  
  16395. &lt;p&gt;While the product is designed as a &amp;#8220;temporary quick fix&amp;#8221; to disguise stray greys or strips of regrowth between colouring, Yasmine has found it is also the perfect solution for her thinning hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  16396.  
  16397.  
  16398.  
  16399. &lt;p&gt;She said: &amp;#8220;I’m not wanting to cover grey hair, I’m wanting to stain my scalp. Which the Josh Woods root spray is really good at doing. &lt;/p&gt;
  16400.  
  16401.  
  16402.  
  16403. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s like a dry shampoo kinda texture, I don’t even use dry shampoo anymore because my hair doesn’t look greasy after using it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16404.  
  16405.  
  16406.

  16412.  
  16413.  
  16414.  
  16415. &lt;p&gt;The Josh Woods root spray is priced at £10 on Amazon or just £8 from Boots &amp;#8211; with a current buy one, get one half price offer bringing that cost down even more.&lt;/p&gt;
  16416.  
  16417.  
  16418.  
  16419. &lt;p&gt;Yasmine uses the miracle product two to three times a week and only has to stock up once a month.&lt;/p&gt;
  16420.  
  16421.  
  16422.  
  16423. &lt;p&gt;She swears by the root spray for covering her scalp to &amp;#8220;hide the fact she has thin hair on the top&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  16424.  
  16425.  
  16426.  
  16427. &lt;p&gt;And she insists it is both sweat-proof and waterproof if you go swimming.&lt;/p&gt;
  16428.  
  16429.  
  16430.  
  16431. &lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;#8220;It lasts for ages, I had to wash my hair multiple times to show how thin I am. I just do a light touch up here and there.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16432.  
  16433.  
  16434.  
  16435. &lt;p&gt;Yasmine took to TikTok (&lt;a aria-label=&quot;@yasminefagerson (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@yasminefagerson&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;@yasminefagerson&lt;/a&gt;) to show just how effective the bargain product is with a quick hair tutorial.&lt;/p&gt;
  16436.  
  16437.  
  16438.  
  16439. &lt;p&gt;In the clip, she said: &amp;#8220;When I tell people I have thin hair on the top, they&amp;#8217;re always like, no you don&amp;#8217;t. &lt;/p&gt;
  16440.  
  16441.  
  16442.  
  16443. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is me out of the shower, I&amp;#8217;ve washed it really well and this is because I normally use root spray to cover my head so I don&amp;#8217;t look bald. But as you can see from here, that is a very thin head.&lt;/p&gt;
  16444.  
  16445.  
  16446.  
  16447. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So I&amp;#8217;m going to do my hair and then I&amp;#8217;m going to show you what I do to hide it.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
  16448.  
  16449.  
  16450.  
  16451. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35687499&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 769px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/869c278f-14b3-4127-b2ed-a359275f1fd5.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=759&quot; alt=&quot;Before and after photos showing a woman's hair thickening.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35687499&quot; width=&quot;759&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Social media users hailed Yasmine&amp;#8217;s amazing results&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Tiktok/@yasminefagerson&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  16452.  
  16453.  
  16454.  
  16455. &lt;p&gt;Yasmine revealed she always dries and straightens her hair as normal, before generously applying the root spray to the thin patch on the top of her head. &lt;/p&gt;
  16456.  
  16457.  
  16458.  
  16459. &lt;p&gt;After she&amp;#8217;s sprayed it, she uses her hairdryer and a large paddle brush to set the product and style her hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  16460.  
  16461.  
  16462.  
  16463. &lt;p&gt;And the results are incredible, with her locks looking instantly thicker and fuller. &lt;/p&gt;
  16464.  
  16465.  
  16466.  
  16467. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Look how much better that is already. I feel so much more confident and happy with my hair&amp;#8221;, she gushed.&lt;/p&gt;
  16468.  
  16469.  
  16470.  
  16471. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So yes, that is my insecurity but this little thing helps with it massively. So if anyone else has got this kind of problem, have a wee check out of the root spray because it is amazing. &lt;/p&gt;
  16472.  
  16473.  
  16474.  
  16475. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I normally buy it off Amazon but I actually went to the website this time because they didn&amp;#8217;t have my colour and I&amp;#8217;m using the dark brown for obvious reasons.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16476.  
  16477.  
  16478.  
  16479. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORT&lt;/h2&gt;
  16480.  
  16481.  
  16482.  
  16483. &lt;p&gt;Yasmine&amp;#8217;s video quickly racked up 11,000 views and proved a huge comfort for other women who struggle with insecurities over their thinning hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  16484.  
  16485.  
  16486.  
  16487. &lt;p&gt;One exclaimed: &amp;#8220;WOW would never have known, lots of people suffer with this, myself included.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16488.  
  16489.  
  16490.  
  16491. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Looks great, it makes it look so thick&amp;#8221;, insisted a second.&lt;/p&gt;
  16492.  
  16493.  
  16494.  
  16495. &lt;p&gt;A third wrote: &amp;#8220;What a fab tip! Thank you for sharing. I have thinning hair on top too, I believe PCOS has caused mine. I think it’s much more common than we think!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16496.  
  16497.  
  16498.  
  16499. &lt;p&gt;A fourth echoed: &amp;#8220;Thanks for sharing &amp;#8211; I have thin hair on top, so to hide it I usually pull it back to hide, but my sides are very thin too, and can’t stand having my hair down.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16500.  
  16501.  
  16502.  
  16503. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have a similar problem and have tried a few things but this looks fab. Your hair always looks so thick so thanks for sharing&amp;#8221;, added a fifth.&lt;/p&gt;
  16504.  
  16505.  
  16506.  
  16507. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, a sixth said: &amp;#8220;Thank you for posting this &amp;#8211; I have the same problem and just ordered this spray.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16508.  
  16509.  
  16510.  
  16511. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;HAIR LOSS REASONS&lt;/h2&gt;
  16512.  
  16513.  
  16514.  
  16515. &lt;p&gt;Jack Merrick-Thirlway, creative director at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://nevillehairandbeauty.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Neville Hair &amp;amp; Beauty,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;said hereditary hair loss is the&amp;nbsp;most common type of hair loss&amp;nbsp;and is transmitted through your genes.&lt;/p&gt;
  16516.  
  16517.  
  16518.  
  16519. &lt;p&gt;This type of hair loss can start from teen years and although will be difficult to treat, it can be slowed down if treated immediately.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16520.  
  16521.  
  16522.  
  16523. &lt;p&gt;Hormonal imbalances may also cause you to lose hair.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16524.  
  16525.  
  16526.  
  16527. &lt;p&gt;Pregnancy&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;menopause&amp;nbsp;are two key times when hormonal imbalances can occur, leading to changes in hair thickness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16528.  
  16529.  
  16530.  
  16531. &lt;script type=&quot;application/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/pollingwidgets/v3/widget.js?question_id=117026&amp;#038;game=polling&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  16532.  
  16533.  
  16534.  
  16535. &lt;p&gt;However,&amp;nbsp;chronic stress&amp;nbsp;and certain medications can also contribute to these imbalances.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16536.  
  16537.  
  16538.  
  16539. &lt;p&gt;Another hair saboteur is excessive friction. Jacks says those who are wearing a tight ponytail repeatedly may find themselves experiencing hair loss.&lt;/p&gt;
  16540.  
  16541.  
  16542.  
  16543. &lt;p&gt;Finally, using the wrong products or having too many chemical treatments can lead to hair loss.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16544.  
  16545.  
  16546.  
  16547. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;HAIR GROWTH TIPS&lt;/h2&gt;
  16548.  
  16549.  
  16550.  
  16551. &lt;p&gt;So, how can we encourage our hair to grow?&lt;/p&gt;
  16552.  
  16553.  
  16554.  
  16555. &lt;p&gt;Jack says that when shopping for new products to help with hair thickness, there are few ingredients to look out for.&lt;/p&gt;
  16556.  
  16557.  
  16558.  
  16559. &lt;p&gt;“I’d advise looking out for ingredients such as biotin,&amp;nbsp;collagen, amino acids and products containing vitamin B3. These all help strengthen the hair follicles and promote growth.&lt;/p&gt;
  16560.  
  16561.  
  16562.  
  16563. &lt;p&gt;“That said, if you feel out of your depth, you can also seek advice with your hair stylist.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16564.  
  16565.  
  16566.  
  16567. &lt;p&gt;Be wary of too many chemicals in your styling products as they can exacerbate hair loss &amp;#8211; and you should also not wash it too often.&lt;/p&gt;
  16568.  
  16569.  
  16570.  
  16571. &lt;p&gt;“To ensure your hair stays healthy it is important not to over wash it,” advises Jack.&lt;/p&gt;
  16572.  
  16573.  
  16574.  
  16575. &lt;p&gt;“Instead try and limit washing your hair to two or three times a week.&lt;/p&gt;
  16576.  
  16577.  
  16578.  
  16579. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner to make sure you do not remove any moisture.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16580.  
  16581.  
  16582.  
  16583. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;
  16584. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__header theme__background-color&quot;&gt;
  16585. &lt;h3 class=&quot;article-boxout__headline&quot;&gt;Hair expert reveals how to repair damaged hair &lt;/h3&gt;
  16586. &lt;/div&gt;
  16587. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout__content theme__background-color-rgba-20&quot;&gt;
  16589. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  16590. TINA Farey, Editorial director at Rush Hair, shares her advice… &lt;/p&gt;
  16592. &lt;div&gt;
  16593. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW TO RESTORE DAMAGED HAIR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16594. &lt;p&gt;Whilst you can’t fully reserve the effects of damaged hair, you can stop the problem from growing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16595. &lt;p&gt;Depending on the condition of your hair, I’d recommend getting a trim every six to eight weeks &amp;#8211; this will prevent any split ends from travelling further up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair’s overall structure and leads to more breakage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16596. &lt;p&gt;Even just an inch of the ends will completely transform the appearance of your hair – trust me.&lt;/p&gt;
  16597. &lt;p&gt;When it comes to products to help restore damaged hair, Goldwell’s Rich Repair Treatment Mask is a firm favourite – strengthening damaged locks to be healthy and shiny once again.&lt;/p&gt;
  16598. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW TO PREVENT DAMAGE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16599. &lt;p&gt;My number one tip is to always use a heat protectant – even if you’re only blow-drying your hair.&lt;/p&gt;
  16600. &lt;p&gt;Consistent heat styling without one will leave your hair open to heat damage.&lt;/p&gt;
  16601. &lt;p&gt;I’d also recommend refraining from over-washing your hair as this can strip the hair of its natural oils – nobody wants a dry and irritated scalp!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16602. &lt;p&gt;And finally, swap your sleek, slick back for a hair down day!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  16603. &lt;p&gt;They may be in fashion at the moment, but over time all that tension on your strands from being pulled will wreak havoc on your hair follicles – this could lead to thinning and bald spots in areas where the hair is constantly pulled.&lt;/p&gt;
  16604. &lt;/div&gt;
  16605. &lt;/div&gt;

  16628. &lt;p&gt;REAL MADRID stars, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, held a touching minute&amp;#8217;s silence for Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva ahead of their training session today.&lt;/p&gt;
  16629.  
  16630.  
  16631.  
  16632. &lt;p&gt;Madrid took a moment to remember the pair following the news of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35675514/diogo-jota-dead-liverpool-star-dies-car-crash/&quot;&gt;their tragic deaths in a car accident.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  16668. &lt;p&gt;A post on Madrid&amp;#8217;s official X account read: &amp;#8220;A minute&amp;#8217;s silence before training in memory of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/diogo-jota/&quot;&gt;Diogo Jota&lt;/a&gt; and his brother André Silva.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  16673.  
  16674.

  16767.  
  16768. &lt;p&gt;The German, who signed Jota from Wolves for £41m in 2020, said on social media: &amp;#8220;This is a moment where I struggle! There must be a bigger purpose, but I can&amp;#8217;t see it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16769.

  16868. &lt;p&gt;A POPULAR restaurant chain has shuttered ALL of its UK locations and has ceased trading after 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
  16869.  
  16870.  
  16871.  
  16872. &lt;p&gt;Hungry customers were disappointed to learn one of their favourite dinner spots would be disappearing from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/store-closings/&quot;&gt;high street&lt;/a&gt; forever. &lt;/p&gt;

  16881.  
  16882.  
  16883.  
  16884. &lt;p&gt;Ping Pong was hailed for its range of more than 40 dim sum options and affordable prices. &lt;/p&gt;
  16885.  
  16886.  
  16887.  
  16888. &lt;p&gt;It was founded all the way back in 2005, by restaurateur Kurt Zdesar, and 13 venues quickly popped up within four years.&lt;/p&gt;
  16889.  
  16890.  
  16891.  
  16892. &lt;p&gt;Ping Pong&amp;#8217;s success continued to soar, and at it&amp;#8217;s height boasted 12 restaurants in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16893.  
  16894.  
  16895.  
  16896. &lt;p&gt;The company announced their sad closure in a message on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16897.  
  16898.  
  16899.  
  16900. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It’s a wrap. After 20 unforgettable years, all Ping Pong locations are now permanently closed,&amp;#8221; they said.&lt;/p&gt;
  16901.  
  16902.  
  16903.  
  16904. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We’re incredibly proud of what we built, an independent hospitality brand full of creativity, flavour and soul.&lt;/p&gt;
  16905.  
  16906.  
  16907.  
  16908. &lt;p&gt;“To everyone who joined us over the years, for dim sum dates, happy hours, bottomless brunches, and just-because catch-ups – thank you… It’s been sum-thing truly special.”&lt;/p&gt;
  16909.  
  16910.  
  16911.  
  16912. &lt;p&gt;The move comes after the restaurant came under fire last year for changing its service charge to a 15 per cent discretionary ‘brand charge’.&lt;/p&gt;
  16913.  
  16914.  
  16915.  
  16916. &lt;p&gt;Ping Pong also took a significant hit during the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/pandemic/&quot;&gt;Covid &lt;/a&gt;pandemic, with trading losses of £1.4million in the year to March 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
  16917.  
  16918.  
  16919.  
  16920. &lt;p&gt;Within two years, their locations had halved in number, and the firm went to administrators in a desperate bid to save the brand.&lt;/p&gt;

  16953.  
  16954.  
  16955.  
  16956. &lt;p&gt;It charged around £15 for posh pasta dishes such as curly pappardelle and killer bucatini.&lt;/p&gt;

  16960. &lt;p&gt;Owner Elia Sebregondi took to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; last week to share &lt;span id=&quot;8d355a88-14c9-4aed-8639-6625cc01ffe9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;news&lt;/span&gt; that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/business/&quot;&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; was no more. &lt;/p&gt;
  16961.  
  16962.  
  16963.  
  16964. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that Officina 00 restaurants have now &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/store-closings/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;permanently closed&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16965.  
  16966.  
  16967.  
  16968. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have done everything in my &lt;span id=&quot;397563ca-997e-4a07-b2bb-8bb03d7480bb&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;power&lt;/span&gt; to overcome the many challenges faced in the last few months, but despite all efforts I have been forced to close down.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  16969.  
  16970.  
  16971.  
  16972. &lt;p&gt;The news left diners heartbroken with many describing it as a &amp;#8220;big loss&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  16973.  
  16974.  
  16975.  
  16976. &lt;p&gt;Chains &lt;span&gt;have been struggling recently as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/cost-of-living/&quot;&gt;cost of living&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has led to fewer people spending on eating out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16977.  
  16978.  
  16979.  
  16980. &lt;p&gt;Businesses have also been struggling to bounce back after the &lt;span id=&quot;63986c89-e6e0-456a-a75d-737898afc8ef&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;pandemic&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  16981.  
  16982.  
  16983.  
  16984. &lt;p&gt;As a result, a number of chains have been forced to close down or reduce their estate.&lt;/p&gt;
  16985.  
  16986.  
  16987.  
  16988. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35164547/chick-n-sours-fast-food-chain-shuts-all-restaurants/&quot;&gt;Chick ‘n’ Sours&lt;/a&gt; has also closed its remaining&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/restaurants/&quot;&gt;restaurants&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in Haggerston and Seven Dials in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  16989.  
  16990.  
  16991.  
  16992. &lt;p&gt;And, the branch of a famous fast food chain is&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35285137/famous-fast-food-chain-uk-closure/&quot;&gt; set to shut its doors after being &amp;#8220;forced into liquidation&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; with £400k debt.&lt;/p&gt;
  16993.  
  16994.  
  16995.  
  16996. &lt;p&gt;The unique&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/food/&quot;&gt;restaurant&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;went&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/virals/&quot;&gt;viral&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;back in 2022 with its performative staff being purposely rude to guests.&lt;/p&gt;
  16997.  
  16998.  
  16999.  
  17000. &lt;p&gt;Karen&amp;#8217;s diner on White Lion Street in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;London&amp;#8217;s Islington&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;will close at the end of June after trading for two years.&lt;/p&gt;
  17001.  
  17002.  
  17003.  
  17004. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s the restaurant&amp;#8217;s last remaining venue in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and is regularly described as one of the most memorable and bizarre dining experiences in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/london/&quot;&gt;capital&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17005.  
  17006.  
  17007.  
  17008. &lt;p&gt;With their deliberately rude waiters, Karen&amp;#8217;s has racked up millions of views on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with clips of them insulting customers.&lt;/p&gt;
  17009.  
  17010.  
  17011.  
  17012. &lt;p&gt;Their website describes it as an &amp;#8220;absurdly fun experience&amp;#8221; where you are &amp;#8220;greeted and waited upon by rude waiters and forced to play a variety of stupid games&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17013.  
  17014.  
  17015.  
  17016. &lt;div class=&quot;article-boxout&quot;&gt;

  17022. &lt;p class=&quot;article__content--intro&quot;&gt;
  17023. THERE are a number of ways that you can save money when eating out. Here&amp;#039;s how: &lt;/p&gt;
  17025. &lt;div&gt;
  17026. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discount codes&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#8211; Check sites like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/vouchercodes&quot;&gt;Sun Vouchers&lt;/a&gt; or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/&quot;&gt;VoucherCodes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order.&lt;/p&gt;
  17027. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tastecard&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; This is a members club where you pay to have access to discounts worth up to 50 per cent off at thousands of restaurants. It costs £4.99 a month or £34.99 for the year.&lt;/p&gt;
  17028. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Loyalty schemes&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Some restaurants will reward you with discounts or a free meal if you register with their loyalty scheme, such as Nando&amp;#8217;s where you can collect a stamp with every visit. Some chains like Pizza Express will send you discounts for special occasions, such as your birthday, if you sign up to their newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;
  17029. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voucher schemes&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; Look out for voucher schemes offered by third party firms, such as Meerkat Meals. If you compare and buy a product through CompareTheMarket.com then you&amp;#8217;ll be rewarded with access to the discount scheme. You&amp;#8217;ll get 2 for 1 meals at certain restaurants through Sunday to Thursday.  &lt;/p&gt;
  17030. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Student discounts&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; If you&amp;#8217;re in full-time education or a member of the National Students Union then you may be able to get a discount of up to 15 per cent off the bill. It&amp;#8217;s always worth asking before you place your order. &lt;/p&gt;
  17031. &lt;/div&gt;
  17032. &lt;/div&gt;
  17033. &lt;/div&gt;

  17063. &lt;p&gt;A WOMAN has left people stunned after sharing how she has changed since becoming a mum.&lt;/p&gt;
  17064.  
  17065.  
  17066.  
  17067. &lt;p&gt;Olivia Hendrix recently became a mum for the first time, and while she&amp;#8217;s thrilled to have a child, she was&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/30424705/pregnancy-nose-cute-different-person-shock/&quot;&gt; shocked to see how much she had changed.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  17068.  
  17069.  
  17070.  
  17071. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35686918&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 550px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/mum-laughs-brutal-reality-motherhood-1007325264.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=540&quot; alt=&quot;Selfie of a blonde woman before having her son.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35686918&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; height=&quot;960&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok/@obviouslyy_olivia&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Olivia shared this image of herself before becoming a mum[/caption]
  17072.

  17075. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35687000&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/2025/07/da134f01-e7df-48a5-a59c-5d2a4e746faa.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=576&quot; alt=&quot;A mother changing her baby's diaper.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35687000&quot; width=&quot;576&quot; height=&quot;736&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;She also shared what she looks like now after giving birth&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;tiktok/@obviouslyy_olivia&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  17076.  
  17077.  
  17078.  
  17079. &lt;p&gt;Like most mums, Olivia was excited to meet her baby boy while pregnant.&lt;/p&gt;
  17080.  
  17081.  
  17082.  
  17083. &lt;p&gt;But she didn&amp;#8217;t consider just how much her&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/32893913/pregnant-woman-popped-nose-week-25-look-filter/&quot;&gt; appearance would change&lt;/a&gt; when he arrived.&lt;/p&gt;
  17084.  
  17085.  
  17086.  
  17087. &lt;p&gt;In the clip, she said: &amp;#8220;ME before having my son.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17088.  
  17089.  
  17090.  
  17091. &lt;p&gt;She showed a clip of herself getting ready for an event dressed to the nines.&lt;/p&gt;
  17092.  
  17093.  
  17094.  
  17095. &lt;p&gt;The mum had thick bleached blonde hairstyle in old &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hollywood/&quot;&gt;Hollywood&lt;/a&gt; waves.&lt;/p&gt;
  17096.  
  17097.  
  17098.  
  17099. &lt;p&gt;Her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/make-up/&quot;&gt;make-up&lt;/a&gt; was glamorous, with a fierce smoky, winged eye, chiselled cheeks and a nude lip.&lt;/p&gt;
  17100.  
  17101.  
  17102.  
  17103. &lt;p&gt;But now, the mum has ditched the blonde &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hair/&quot;&gt;hair&lt;/a&gt; and make-up.&lt;/p&gt;
  17104.  
  17105.  
  17106.  
  17107. &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span id=&quot;74b7b0bf-97b6-4742-9cd1-fb793b21646e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;next&lt;/span&gt; clip saw the mum with her brown hair shoved into a messy bun, with no make-up on.&lt;/p&gt;
  17108.  
  17109.  
  17110.  
  17111. &lt;p&gt;She wore an oversized grey T-shirt as she changed her son&amp;#8217;s nappy and wrote &amp;#8216;Me now.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
  17112.  
  17113.  
  17114.  
  17115. &lt;p&gt;The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @&lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.tiktok.com/@obviouslyy_olivia/video/7516714577371925791&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;obviouslyy_olivia &lt;/a&gt;with over 18 million views and 1.9 million likes.&lt;/p&gt;

  17168. There are a lot of strange myths around pregnancy - and some of them may surprise you... &lt;/p&gt;
  17170. &lt;div&gt;
  17171. &lt;ul&gt;
  17172. &lt;li&gt;Is it okay to eat &lt;a aria-label=&quot;prawns (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21018425/prawns-seafood-when-pregnant/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;prawns&lt;/a&gt; when you’re pregnant?&lt;/li&gt;
  17173. &lt;li&gt;Can you have &lt;a aria-label=&quot;sex  (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/18569278/can-you-have-sex-while-pregnant/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;sex &lt;/a&gt;during a pregnancy? &lt;/li&gt;
  17174. &lt;li&gt;Can you get a &lt;a aria-label=&quot;tattoo  (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21010565/can-you-tattoo-pregnant/#:~:text=Is%20it%20safe%20to%20get,of%20contracting%20a%20bloodborne%20virus.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;tattoo&lt;/a&gt; while you&amp;#8217;re pregnant&lt;/li&gt;
  17175. &lt;li&gt;Is it safe to take &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/16824318/can-you-take-paracetamol-when-pregnant/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;paracetamol &lt;/a&gt;when you’re pregnant?&lt;/li&gt;
  17176. &lt;li&gt;Can you eat &lt;a aria-label=&quot;mozzarella (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/food/19256651/can-you-eat-mozzarella-when-pregnant/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;mozzarella&lt;/a&gt; when you&amp;#8217;re pregnant?&lt;/li&gt;
  17177. &lt;/ul&gt;
  17178. &lt;/div&gt;
  17179. &lt;/div&gt;
  17180. &lt;/div&gt;
  17182.  
  17183.  
  17184.  
  17185. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile a fourth said: &amp;#8220;motherhood is the worst.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17186.

  17508. &lt;h2&gt;Does Kristina Milkovic use social media?&lt;/h2&gt;
  17509. &lt;p&gt;In the past, Milkovic has refused to give interviews and will not put her private life in the public eye.&lt;/p&gt;
  17510. &lt;p&gt;She has an Instagram account, but she has kept this private.&lt;/p&gt;
  17511. &lt;p&gt;However, you can follow Cilic on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/marincilic_official/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/cilic_marin&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/MarinCilic/?fref=ts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; to keep up to date with the tennis star..&lt;/p&gt;

  17513. &lt;h2&gt;Does Marin Cilic and Kristina Milkovic have any children?&lt;/h2&gt;
  17514. &lt;p&gt;Marin and Kristina have two children.&lt;/p&gt;
  17515. &lt;p&gt;Their first child is called Baldo Clic and was born on January 31, 2020, at Zagreb’s Sisters of Charity Hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
  17516. &lt;p&gt;Their second son was born in September 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
  17517. &lt;p&gt;Writing on social media at the time, Marin said: &amp;#8220;Our small family has grown by another member.&lt;/p&gt;
  17518. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Grateful to share that Baldo’s best friend has arrived. And just like that we are officially a team of 4.&lt;/p&gt;

  17673.  
  17674.  
  17675.  
  17676. &lt;p&gt;This means that as many as 200 flights to and from the UK will be impacted each day on July 3 and July 4, according to &lt;a aria-label=&quot; (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://airadvisor.com/en&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;AirAdvisor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17677.  
  17678.

  17685.  
  17686.  
  17687.  
  17688. &lt;p&gt;The airline has also claimed that the strikes in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34992952/france-coast-flights-travel-holiday-il-de-re/&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt; will disrupt passengers flying over French airspace too, en route to other destinations such as &lt;span id=&quot;561726c9-f476-4191-986d-e82dc3909af5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Greece&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span id=&quot;d1f89feb-79db-4e66-a5c9-3c01e38132a5&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  17693.  
  17694.  
  17695.  
  17696. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. &lt;/p&gt;
  17697.  
  17698.  
  17699.  
  17700. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35608239/uk-ban-airlines-charging-hand-luggage/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; EU passengers&lt;/a&gt; and families going on &lt;span id=&quot;9a75e266-5761-4694-bd61-9d6e5df163ba&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;holidays&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17701.  
  17702.  
  17703.  
  17704. &lt;p&gt;In comparison, easyJet has been forced to cancel 22 UK touching flights today and 38, so far, for tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
  17705.  
  17706.  
  17707.  
  17708. &lt;p&gt;Across &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/europe/&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; the airline has made 134 cancellations in total for today and 150 so far, for tomorrow &amp;#8211; affecting another 60,000 passengers.&lt;/p&gt;
  17709.  
  17710.  
  17711.  
  17712. &lt;p&gt;An easyJet spokesperson said: &amp;#8220;As required by the French authorities (DGAC) &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35416598/easyjet-cyprus-uk-emergency-landing-plane/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;easyJet &lt;/a&gt;proactively cancelled some flights in advance and customers were contacted directly with options&amp;nbsp;to transfer to another flight for free or a refund.&lt;/p&gt;
  17713.  
  17714.  
  17715.  
  17716. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;While this is outside of our control, we will do all we can to minimise the impact of the strike action.&lt;/p&gt;

  17739.  
  17740. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;On behalf of our passengers we are extremely unhappy with the strike action, particularly given the current performance of French ATC which has been the leading cause of airspace delays in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35659028/full-list-holiday-destinations-cheap-flights-europe-this-month/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Europe &lt;/a&gt;this &lt;span id=&quot;12b93fae-1af7-45f9-a637-1435b463fa28&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;summer&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17741.  
  17742.  
  17743.  
  17744. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Long term solutions must be found for our customers and crew who suffer repeated disruption.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17745.  
  17746.  
  17747.  
  17748. &lt;p&gt;The strike, which is being led by UNSA-INCA and SNCTA unions, will involve 60-70 per cent of ATCs.&lt;/p&gt;
  17749.  
  17750.  
  17751.  
  17752. &lt;p&gt;Anton Radchenko, aviation expert and founder of AirAdvisor explained that the strikes will also cause the airspace to narrow, and as a result the backlog will spread quickly to hubs like Heathrow, Gatwick, and &lt;span id=&quot;45067e0c-5474-4fd9-bbc4-e4758b2a7630&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Manchester&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  17753.  
  17754.  
  17755.  
  17756. &lt;p&gt;He said: &amp;#8220;What many &lt;span id=&quot;f6eef089-b664-4052-bace-e319baddc964&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;travellers&lt;/span&gt; underestimate is how vulnerable short-haul schedules are to even minor disruptions. &lt;/p&gt;
  17757.  
  17758.  
  17759.  
  17760. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Unlike long-haul routes, where airlines often have contingency buffers, short-haul flights operate on tight rotations.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17761.  
  17762.  
  17763.  
  17764. &lt;p&gt;For example, one delay in &lt;span id=&quot;c15f8efd-265f-4225-b659-ec0f175e7023&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Lyon&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/22409953/mums-marseille-holiday-cheap-return-flights/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Marseille&lt;/a&gt; could lead to a ripple effect that cancels a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35336242/uk-airport-passengers-expansion-billion-london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Stansted&lt;/a&gt; departure six hours later.&lt;/p&gt;
  17765.  
  17766.  
  17767.  
  17768. &lt;p&gt;He continued: &amp;#8220;My top advice is to travel with full situational awareness.&lt;/p&gt;
  17769.

  17776. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If your itinerary connects through France or overflies its airspace, even to destinations like&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/33665881/venetian-riviera-burano-families/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;f396ca1e-263d-45ba-8ad5-05617c3d37cd&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35343753/i-travel-spain-local-spots-cheaper-less-crowded/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;b0de4973-b332-4cbc-bd1f-0615699c37ab&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;/a&gt;check with your airline daily, not just the night before.&lt;/p&gt;
  17777.

  17780. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Take screenshots of every notification, keep every receipt, and escalate immediately if your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35519114/holiday-warning-brits-flights-cancelled-dubai-trump-iran/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;flight is cancelled.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  17785.  
  17786.  
  17787.  
  17788. &lt;p&gt;One traveller stranded at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport said: &amp;#8220;Entire Air India staff at CGD airport is on strike — and not a single person is here to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  17789.  
  17790.  
  17791.  
  17792. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What’s the fault of passengers? We’re stuck in Paris with no support or guidance. This is terrifying.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17793.  
  17794.  
  17795.  
  17796. &lt;p&gt;Another person added on social media: &amp;#8220;I was supposed to return to Portugal today after attending an international conference, but my flight has been cancelled. &lt;/p&gt;
  17797.  
  17798.  
  17799.  
  17800. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In recent years, this has become the norm. I&amp;#8217;m starting to take it personally.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  17801.  
  17802.  
  17803.  
  17804. &lt;p&gt;New EU rules also mean Brits will now get &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35289273/eu-flight-delay-compensation-new-rules/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;less compensation if their flight is delayed.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  17835.  
  17836.  
  17837.  
  17838. &lt;p&gt;The Brit and her pal, from New Zealand, were tragically attacked by a female elephant that was a calf at South Luangwa National Park.&lt;/p&gt;

  17851.  
  17852.  
  17853.  
  17854. &lt;p&gt;The elephant was hit with the bullets and wounded, but guides were unable to prevent the attack and both women tragically died at the scene, cops said.&lt;/p&gt;
  17855.  
  17856.  
  17857.  
  17858. &lt;p&gt;The South Luangwa National Park sits in eastern Zambia, roughly 370 miles from the capital Lusaka.&lt;/p&gt;
  17859.  
  17860.  
  17861.  
  17862. &lt;p&gt;Female elephants are renowned for being extremely protective of their &lt;span id=&quot;5184e53f-8eb5-49b1-8f94-5163d0fc7b22&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;babies&lt;/span&gt; and can respond with aggression to what they may see as threats.&lt;/p&gt;

  17865.  
  17866. &lt;p&gt;Last year, two tourists from the US were killed in separate encounters with elephants in Zambia.&lt;/p&gt;
  17867.  
  17868.  
  17869.  
  17870. &lt;p&gt;The elderly women were on safari vehicles when they were attacked.&lt;/p&gt;
  17871.  
  17872.  
  17873.  
  17874. &lt;p&gt;In January, a Spanish tourist has been killed by an elephant she was bathing at a sanctuary in Thailand.&lt;/p&gt;
  17875.  
  17876.  
  17877.  
  17878. &lt;p&gt;Blanca Ojanguren García, 22, was washing the animal when it gruesomely drove its tusk into her.&lt;/p&gt;
  17879.  
  17880.  
  17881.  
  17882. &lt;p&gt;The attack caused injuries from which Blanca could not be saved and the student later died.&lt;/p&gt;
  17883.

  17976.  
  17977.  
  17978.  
  17979. &lt;p&gt;The lorry involved had jack-knifed during the incident, with the fuel tanker splitting open requiring the fuel to be cleared.&lt;/p&gt;
  17980.  
  17981.  
  17982.  
  17983. &lt;p&gt;All lanes require resurfacing and barriers will need repair work. &lt;/p&gt;
  17984.

  17986.  
  17987. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Police&lt;/a&gt; are currently on scene and once the investigation is complete preparations will be made to carry out emergency repairs.&lt;/p&gt;
  17988.  
  17989.  
  17990.  
  17991. &lt;p&gt;A spokesman for National Highways added: &amp;#8220;The southbound A282 between J31 and J1a, QEII Bridge at the Dartford Crossing is closed for emergency re-surfacing and barrier repairs following a collision which caused a large fuel spillage across all lanes.&lt;/p&gt;
  17992.  
  17993.  
  17994.  
  17995. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The QEII Bridge will remain closed throughout the evening and into the early hours of tomorrow morning for resurfacing work and barrier repair work to take place.&lt;/p&gt;
  17996.  
  17997.  
  17998.  
  17999. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There are currently delays of 60 minutes on the M25 clockwise between J29 and J31 with approx.6 miles of congestion and anti- clockwise 90 minute delays between J4 and J1A with approx. 8 miles of congestion.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18000.  
  18001.  
  18002.  
  18003. &lt;p&gt;There are currently two-hour delays in both directions on the M25, clockwise between J27 and J31, with up to 8 miles of congestion, and clockwise between J4 and J1A with up to 7 miles of congestion.&lt;/p&gt;
  18004.  
  18005.  
  18006.  
  18007. &lt;p&gt;It is thought it will take considerable time for the fuel to be cleaned with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/travel-delays-strikes-and-disruption/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;delays&lt;/a&gt; expected into the evening.&lt;/p&gt;
  18008.  
  18009.  
  18010.  
  18011. &lt;p&gt;All traffic travelling southbound/clockwise on the M25/A282 is being diverted through the east bore tunnel.&lt;/p&gt;
  18012.  
  18013.  
  18014.  
  18015. &lt;p&gt;This means that northbound traffic will only have one tunnel to pass through at the crossing which connects &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/essex/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Essex&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/kent/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Kent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  18039. &lt;p&gt;The tunnel has a height restriction of 4.8 metres meaning &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;vehicles&lt;/a&gt; over this height will have to seek an alternative route via the clockwise M25.&lt;/p&gt;

  18043. &lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not yet known whether there are any serious injuries but a woman was hospitalised following the crash earlier today. &lt;/p&gt;
  18044.  
  18045.

  18048.  
  18049.

  18063. &lt;p&gt;All traffic travelling southbound/clockwise on the M25/A282 is being diverted through the east bore tunnel.&lt;/p&gt;
  18064. &lt;p&gt;Northbound tunnel traffic is therefore confined to using the west bore Dartford tunnel only with a height restriction of 4&amp;#8217;8m (15&amp;#8217;9&amp;#8243;).&lt;/p&gt;
  18065. &lt;p&gt;Vehicles over this height will have to seek an alternative route via the clockwise M25.&lt;/p&gt;

  18102. &lt;p&gt;Within these zones will be the theme park; &lt;span id=&quot;deea60d3-32c0-4946-b977-eb0f647f39b3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;retail&lt;/span&gt; and entertainment destinations; visitor accommodation including &lt;span id=&quot;8fe17687-4ff5-47d5-8215-9533c466153a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;hotels&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span id=&quot;5c87aa50-8677-4763-a2c1-71960733beb9&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;camping&lt;/span&gt; and caravanning; sport, recreation, leisure and spa facilities and conference and convention spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
  18103.  
  18104.  
  18105.  
  18106. &lt;p&gt;The plans state: &amp;#8220;[Guests will ]experience blockbuster attractions, adrenaline-pumping&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/32295079/new-rides-rollercoasters-uk-europe-2025/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; coasters&lt;/a&gt;, and mind-blowing spectaculars.&lt;/p&gt;
  18107.  
  18108.  
  18109.  
  18110. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They’ll come face-to-face with incredible creatures, heroes, and villains. &lt;/p&gt;
  18111.  
  18112.  
  18113.  
  18114. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They’ll discover great food, new laughs, new ways to play, and step into&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/26054919/interactive-attraction-uk-immersive-experience-attenborough/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; immersive worlds &lt;/a&gt;they’ve only ever dreamed of.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18115.  
  18116.  
  18117.  
  18118. &lt;p&gt;The application also expresses that in the first year, 8.5million visitors are expected to the Core Zone. &lt;/p&gt;
  18119.  
  18120.  
  18121.  
  18122. &lt;p&gt;Then, in &lt;span id=&quot;ecd19ee4-826a-4086-8754-a53768c39d15&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; years, 12.5million visitors are expected annually. &lt;/p&gt;
  18123.  
  18124.  
  18125.  
  18126. &lt;p&gt;The split between domestic and international visitors is expected to be 70 per cent and 30 per cent respectively in the first year. &lt;/p&gt;
  18127.  
  18128.  
  18129.  
  18130. &lt;p&gt;Then 52 per cent and 48 per cent respectively in future years. &lt;/p&gt;
  18131.  
  18132.  
  18133.  
  18134. &lt;p&gt;The attraction is also due to be open each day between 9am and 9pm, with visitors starting to arrive at 7am and depart up until 10pm. &lt;/p&gt;

  18167.  
  18168.  
  18169.  
  18170. &lt;p&gt;Many parts of the application reference what will be included in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35570170/disney-world-new-park-orlando-fifth-theme-park/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;theme park.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18171.  
  18172.  
  18173.  
  18174. &lt;p&gt;This includes indoor and outdoor &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/26873897/new-rides-attractions-brits-favourite-theme-parks/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;rides,&lt;/a&gt; attractions, games and pools.&lt;/p&gt;
  18175.  
  18176.  
  18177.  
  18178. &lt;p&gt;There is also set to be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/festivals-music-tours/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;events spaces&lt;/a&gt; for parades, shows and displays.&lt;/p&gt;
  18179.  
  18180.  
  18181.  
  18182. &lt;p&gt;Entertainment venues are set to include theatres and cinemas and sport, recreation, leisure and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/32412349/ten-spa-breaks-massages-pools-hotel-stays/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;spa facilities&lt;/a&gt; are also planned.&lt;/p&gt;
  18183.  
  18184.  
  18185.  
  18186. &lt;p&gt;Other entertainment venues suggested are music and dance venues, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/33495355/iconic-nightclub-closes-this-weekend/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;nightclubs&lt;/a&gt; and even tattoo parlours.&lt;/p&gt;
  18187.  
  18188.  
  18189.  
  18190. &lt;p&gt;Planned indoor and outdoor cultural spaces include exhibition spaces, art galleries and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35675410/museum-reopens-euro466m-restoration-paris/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;museums.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18191.  
  18192.  
  18193.  
  18194. &lt;p&gt;The application also states: &amp;#8220;The maximum height of a structure &amp;#8230; such as a rollercoaster, within the area of the Core Zone which allows the tallest structures, would be 115m above ground level.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18195.  
  18196.  
  18197.  
  18198. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35686425&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 498px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/5c804fee-c330-4a9b-8c94-1d1ffa7d3079.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=488&quot; alt=&quot;Zone plan for a new theme park.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35686425&quot; width=&quot;488&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The attraction will be divided into four main land areas known as the Core Zone, Lake Zone, West Gateway Zone and the East Gateway Zone&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Universal Destinations &amp;amp; Experiences&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  18199.  
  18200.  
  18201.  
  18202. &lt;p&gt;This means that the tallest rollercoaster could potentially be 115metres and if this were the case the park would boast the tallest rollercoaster in Europe. &lt;/p&gt;
  18203.  
  18204.  
  18205.  
  18206. &lt;p&gt;This would overtake the current record holder &amp;#8211; Red Force at PortAventura World in Spain &amp;#8211; which measures 112m.&lt;/p&gt;
  18207.  
  18208.  
  18209.  
  18210. &lt;p&gt;Under the accessibility section, the proposal also includes ride examples such as a Men in Black experience, One Fish Two Fish fairground ride and a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34597982/immersive-experience-jurassic-world-scenes-london/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Jurassic Park&lt;/a&gt; water-based ride.&lt;/p&gt;
  18211.  
  18212.  
  18213.  
  18214. &lt;p&gt;Interestingly, the document also reveals that the site could have media and &lt;span id=&quot;49a07917-3465-451c-9410-b97c7a5f0be2&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;film&lt;/span&gt; production facilities, stating: &amp;#8220;For instance a building may be used as a sound stage, film studio, event space or hosting a Universal Destinations &amp;amp; Experiences show or even a mixture of these uses.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18215.  
  18216.  
  18217.  
  18218. &lt;p&gt;The application goes on to explain how the use of some buildings at the site may vary seasonally, &amp;#8220;for instance during events such as Halloween &lt;span id=&quot;13f82f5e-fa88-488d-b35a-b31a420135d3&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Horror&lt;/span&gt; Nights&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
  18219.  
  18220.  
  18221.  
  18222. &lt;p&gt;There will also be a maximum height of anything in the theme park of 115metres. &lt;/p&gt;
  18223.  
  18224.  
  18225.  
  18226. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Core Zone &lt;/h2&gt;
  18227.  
  18228.  
  18229.  
  18230. &lt;p&gt;The Core Zone will be the central part of the attraction and is set &amp;#8220;to contain the theme park, amusement park and/or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35641505/waterpark-inflatable-pool-hot-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;water park&amp;#8221;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  18231.  
  18232.  
  18233.  
  18234. &lt;p&gt;The plans also show that it could have an entry plaza, car and coach parking, a 500-room hotel, valet parking service and a &lt;span id=&quot;ab05685a-dc84-4ad2-984c-792ab782c14b&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;transport&lt;/span&gt; hub. &lt;/p&gt;

  18238. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Lake Zone&lt;/h2&gt;
  18239.  
  18240.  
  18241.  
  18242. &lt;p&gt;The Lake Zone will be the northernmost part of the attraction. &lt;/p&gt;
  18243.  
  18244.  
  18245.  
  18246. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35686484&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 970px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/excited-take-important-step-plan-985732353.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=960&quot; alt=&quot;Aerial view of farmland near a lake, showing construction activity.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35686484&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;Universal&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;Within these zones will be the theme park; retail and entertainment destinations; visitor accommodation including hotels, camping and caravanning; sport, recreation, leisure and spa facilities and conference and convention spaces[/caption]
  18247.  
  18248.  
  18249.  
  18250. &lt;p&gt;In this zone, the proposed plans include &lt;span id=&quot;f046b593-9f8e-4955-9b22-4d34a85bb924&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;business&lt;/span&gt; hotels with 2000 rooms, further &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/34698848/tripadvisor-best-hotels-uk-safari-train-station-boat/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hotels and accommodation&lt;/a&gt; with 3370 bedrooms and entertainment complex support.&lt;/p&gt;
  18251.  
  18252.  
  18253.  
  18254. &lt;p&gt;This zone is also set to include the Convention Centre, which will span across 55,000square-metres.&lt;/p&gt;
  18255.  
  18256.  
  18257.  
  18258. &lt;p&gt;Any shops in this zone will have a maximum size of 1,100square-metres. &lt;/p&gt;
  18259.  
  18260.  
  18261.  
  18262. &lt;p&gt;In addition, this zone would have a new wetland habitat.&lt;/p&gt;
  18263.  
  18264.  
  18265.  
  18266. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;East Gateway Zone&lt;/h2&gt;
  18267.  
  18268.  
  18269.  
  18270. &lt;p&gt;The East Gateway Zone will be located in the eastern area of the &lt;span id=&quot;e4800f78-a6cc-4a53-ae1e-8dea10f6e66c&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Bedfordshire&lt;/span&gt; site, located near the village of Wixams. &lt;/p&gt;
  18271.  
  18272.  
  18273.  
  18274. &lt;p&gt;The East Gateway Zone would also adjoin the planned site of the new Wixams Rail Station.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18275.  
  18276.  
  18277.  
  18278. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;West Gateway Zone&lt;/h2&gt;
  18279.  
  18280.  
  18281.  
  18282. &lt;p&gt;The westernmost area of the site will feature the West Gateway Zone.&lt;/p&gt;
  18283.  
  18284.  
  18285.  
  18286. &lt;p&gt;This zone is set to include a petrol station with 16 pumps, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/35679982/uk-best-restaurants-uber-eats-top-takeaways/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;1d86f81e-235b-4d4c-b330-7ce7088f5e26&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;restaurants&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;up to 5,866square-metres, a 200-bedroom hotel and entertainment resort complex support.&lt;/p&gt;

  18295.  
  18296.  
  18297.  
  18298. &lt;p&gt;Universal is also committed to &amp;#8220;creating a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35676223/new-slide-park-attractions-to-open-english-town/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;theme park experience &lt;/a&gt;that&amp;#8217;s inclusive and accessible to everyone, ensuring that all our guests can embark on unforgettable journeys regardless of their abilities&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18299.  
  18300.  
  18301.  
  18302. &lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_35686447&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; style=&quot;width: 697px&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/excited-take-important-step-plan-1007315233.jpg?strip=all&amp;amp;w=687&quot; alt=&quot;Map of proposed Universal theme park site zones.&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-thesun-article-image wp-image-35686447&quot; width=&quot;687&quot; height=&quot;445&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;figcredit&gt;Universal Destinations &amp;amp; Experiences&lt;/figcredit&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;The plans state: &amp;#8220;[Guests will ]experience blockbuster attractions, adrenaline-pumping coasters, and mind-blowing spectaculars&amp;#8221;[/caption]
  18303.  
  18304.  
  18305.  
  18306. &lt;p&gt;For the UK park this means that there will be wide and smooth pathways for wheelchairs, ramps and lifts, accessible toilets in each toilet block and accessible hotel accommodation. &lt;/p&gt;
  18307.  
  18308.  
  18309.  
  18310. &lt;p&gt;Rides would each have one row or seat that can accommodate wheelchair users or visitors with walking impairments. &lt;/p&gt;
  18311.  
  18312.  
  18313.  
  18314. &lt;p&gt;Assistive technology would also be available throughout the park such as captioning, audio description, tactile maps and a phone app.&lt;/p&gt;
  18315.  
  18316.  
  18317.  
  18318. &lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;Transport&lt;/h2&gt;
  18319.  
  18320.  
  18321.  
  18322. &lt;p&gt;The overall site also plans to include a new junction on the A421, an expanded &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35548887/new-166million-railway-station-transform-english-town/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;railway station&lt;/a&gt; on the Thameslink/Midland Main Line at Wixams, improvements to roads and potential land for a new railway station on the proposed EWR Bletchley to Bedford line (if this were to happen in the future).&lt;/p&gt;
  18323.  
  18324.  
  18325.  
  18326. &lt;p&gt;The vision includes a four-platform, four-track station at Wixams with a new station building. &lt;/p&gt;
  18327.  
  18328.  
  18329.  
  18330. &lt;p&gt;The application also reveals that the Core Zone could have a transport hub, where a &amp;#8220;rail-related development may be provided&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18331.  
  18332.  
  18333.  
  18334. &lt;p&gt;Pedestrian and cycle routes are set to be added to the park too.&lt;/p&gt;
  18335.  
  18336.  
  18337.  
  18338. &lt;p&gt;In the mean time The Sun&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/sophie-swietochowskithe-sun-co-uk/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Sophie Swietochowski&lt;/a&gt; spent three days at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/35075628/i-went-new-theme-park-universal-epic-ride-tips/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Universal’s huge new £7bn theme park&lt;/a&gt; and has shared all the things worth doing… and the bits to skip.&lt;/p&gt;

  18391. &lt;p&gt;But such is the carnage that often ensues, largely thanks to an event schedule which kicks off around 9am and goes on into the night, fed up locals now dub the event &amp;#8216;Ayia Rower&amp;#8217;, after the notorious party resort &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/ayia-napa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Ayia Napa&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cyprus/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Cyprus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  18392.  
  18393.  
  18394.  
  18395. &lt;p&gt;Terrified pub landlords and shop owners hire their own security guards to protect their premises from the rampaging hordes and their rowdy drunken antics &amp;#8211; which have been known to include brawling, vandalism and&amp;nbsp;shoplifting.&lt;/p&gt;
  18396.  
  18397.  
  18398.  
  18399. &lt;p&gt;While the smartly dressed visitors in their designer outfits and Panama hats certainly look like they should know better, locals say it&amp;#8217;s not unusual to see men urinating into the river and inebriated revellers passed out on the grass at the end of each day.&lt;/p&gt;
  18400.  
  18401.  
  18402.  
  18403. &lt;p&gt;In years gone by police have even set up a mobile &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1383122/posh-revellers-at-henley-royal-regatta-pictured-on-the-lash-as-officials-are-forced-to-set-up-a-mobile-prison-to-hold-drunk-guests/&quot;&gt;prisons to hold drunk and disorderly guests&lt;/a&gt;, those caught taking &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/drugs/&quot;&gt;drugs&lt;/a&gt; or disturbing the peace, until they sober up.&lt;/p&gt;
  18404.  
  18405.  
  18406.  
  18407. &lt;p&gt;Henley resident Gary Waite has lived in the town for 25 years and says he&amp;#8217;s seen it all.&lt;/p&gt;
  18408.  
  18409.  
  18410.  
  18411. &lt;p&gt;He told The Sun: “There is no recession when it comes to the Regatta.&lt;/p&gt;
  18412.  
  18413.  
  18414.  
  18415. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The trains disgorge hundreds of people in stripy blazers. I’ve seen them swigging from massive jeroboams of champagne &amp;#8211; the equivalent of four bottles. &lt;/p&gt;
  18416.  
  18417.  
  18418.  
  18419. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The car parks are full of Rolls Royces.&lt;/p&gt;
  18420.  
  18421.  
  18422.  
  18423. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Another issue is broken glass everywhere. People are so drunk they smash beer and champagne bottles on the ground as soon as they get off the train, and our dogs walk in the broken glass.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  18459. &lt;p&gt;Others living near the town centre told us they have endured revellers brazenly taking drugs and brawling on the street.&lt;/p&gt;
  18460.  
  18461.  
  18462.  
  18463. &lt;p&gt;And locals have previously told of over-amorous, boozy couples having sex.&lt;/p&gt;
  18464.  
  18465.  
  18466.  
  18467. &lt;p&gt;When we visited on the first morning of the event, retired resident Jackie Fullalove said she&amp;#8217;d already witnessed an ugly brawl.&lt;/p&gt;
  18468.  
  18469.  
  18470.  
  18471. &lt;p&gt;“I just saw a ruckus between two young ladies with empty glasses over lunch &amp;#8211; they’re hot and bothered and fighting already so it’s going to be very messy by the end of the day. The whole event is barking mad,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  18472.  
  18473.  
  18474.  
  18475. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We’ve heard about people using doorways as toilets. It’s gruesome.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18476.  
  18477.  
  18478.  
  18479. &lt;p&gt;A road sweeper, who did not wish to be named, added: &amp;#8220;The girls are far worse than the fellas.&lt;/p&gt;

  18496.  
  18497.  
  18498.  
  18499. &lt;p&gt;Of course the veneer of the Royal Regatta is highly respectable glossy and glamorous.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18500.  
  18501.  
  18502.  
  18503. &lt;p&gt;It is known as the most prestigious rowing event in the world, but in reality extra &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/police/&quot;&gt;police&lt;/a&gt; officers are needed to patrol the narrow streets.&lt;/p&gt;
  18504.  
  18505.  
  18506.  
  18507. &lt;p&gt;Every half an hour during Regatta Week around 1,500 people spill off trains from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/london/&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; to the famous festival.&lt;/p&gt;
  18508.  
  18509.  
  18510.  
  18511. &lt;p&gt;The usual population of Henley is less than 12,200, but over the six days of racing the sedate town is overwhelmed by a staggering 300,000 visitors.&lt;/p&gt;
  18512.  
  18513.  
  18514.  
  18515. &lt;p&gt;We watched as noisy crowds poured into the rows of swanky marquees lining the riverbanks, where plush hospitality enclosures serve up 25,000 pints of Pimm&amp;#8217;s and more than 5,500 bottles of champagne.&lt;/p&gt;

  18532. &lt;p&gt;The formal dress code is so strict that men must wear jackets and ties, and smart summer dresses must fall below the knee &amp;#8211; it was only three years ago that women were permitted to wear trousers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  18533.  
  18534.  
  18535.  
  18536. &lt;p&gt;Lavish floral displays, Union Jack flags and colourful bunting line the pretty streets, which are usually so immaculately kept that boutique owners have even been spotted &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1527440/is-this-the-poshest-thing-youve-ever-seen-woman-spotted-vacuuming-the-pavement-in-henley/&quot;&gt;vacuuming the pavement&lt;/a&gt; outside their shops.&lt;/p&gt;
  18537.  
  18538.  
  18539.  
  18540. &lt;p&gt;One local businesswoman said she had become infuriated by mindless acts of vandalism she&amp;#8217; s noticed become more prevalent in recent years.&lt;/p&gt;
  18541.  
  18542.  
  18543.  
  18544. &lt;p&gt;Jan Smith, from The Henley Florist, said: “Not only do our deliveries take much longer because of the much greater volume of traffic but expensive floral shop displays get pulled down and stolen.&lt;/p&gt;
  18545.  
  18546.  
  18547.  
  18548. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They have to be replaced. It&amp;#8217;s a shame.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  18549.  
  18550.  
  18551.  
  18552. &lt;p&gt;The increased traffic flow also causes a headache for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/british-airways/&quot;&gt;British Airways&lt;/a&gt; cabin crew worker Elizabeth Johnson, 70, who has lived in Henley for more than two decades but still gets frustrated during the annual Regatta.&lt;/p&gt;
  18553.  
  18554.  
  18555.  
  18556. &lt;p&gt;She said: “Town gets busier and busier as the week goes on.&lt;/p&gt;
  18557.  
  18558.  
  18559.  
  18560. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Because of all the hoorays coming from London they change the frequency of the traffic lights to control the queues which makes it incredibly difficult to get in and out of town.&lt;/p&gt;
  18561.  
  18562.  
  18563.  
  18564. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When I finish a shift I might have been awake for 24 hours and my journey home from Heathrow Airport which usually takes 45 minutes can take over two hours.&lt;/p&gt;

  18589.  
  18590.  
  18591.  
  18592. &lt;p&gt;Visitors from as far as America, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/australia/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/new-zealand/&quot;&gt;New Zealand&lt;/a&gt; had splashed out on high price tickets to feast on lavishly catered picnics, while scores of spectators in high spirits took to dinghies, old fashioned paddle boats and launches laden with beer, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/wine/&quot;&gt;wine&lt;/a&gt; and champagne to cheer on their favourite crews.&lt;/p&gt;
  18593.  
  18594.  
  18595.  
  18596. &lt;p&gt;Many looked worse for wear by lunchtime, and by mid afternoon all pretence of watching the rowing had vanished.&lt;/p&gt;
  18597.  
  18598.  
  18599.  
  18600. &lt;p&gt;Come the evening the remains of high end picnics were packed away into wicker hampers, the marquees emptied and crowds of well spoken partygoers staggered across the narrow bridge into the centre of town.&lt;/p&gt;
  18601.  
  18602.  
  18603.  
  18604. &lt;p&gt;Crowds squeezed up Hart Street to The Catherine Wheel &amp;#8211; a Weatherspoon&amp;#8217;s boozer and Henley’s largest pub.&lt;/p&gt;
  18605.  
  18606.  
  18607.  
  18608. &lt;p&gt;The closest pub to the race course is The Angel on the Bridge, an historic institution that dates back to 1728.&lt;/p&gt;
  18609.  
  18610.  
  18611.  
  18612. &lt;p&gt;Disgusted neighbours have endured more unsavoury shenanigans there after dark &amp;#8211; including women going to extreme lengths to dodge lengthy toilet queues by nipping out of the boozer and urinating in the doorway of the solicitor’s office opposite instead.&lt;/p&gt;
  18613.  
  18614.  
  18615.  
  18616. &lt;p&gt;In years gone by scenes have turned really ugly. &lt;/p&gt;
  18617.  
  18618.  
  18619.  
  18620. &lt;p&gt;In 2017 locals were aghast when three men were arrested at the Regatta on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4024555/three-men-arrested-on-suspicion-of-gang-raping-woman-after-leaving-an-exclusive-henley-regatta-afterparty/&quot;&gt;suspicion of gang raping&lt;/a&gt; a woman in her twenties.&lt;/p&gt;

  19385.  
  19386.  
  19387.  
  19388. &lt;p&gt;A household name renowned for making laundry irresistibly fresh and fragrant, it’s no surprise this Lenor deal has already been snapped up by over 300 people this month alone, garnering more than 2,000 five-star reviews.&lt;/p&gt;
  19389.  
  19390.

  19405.  
  19406.  
  19407.  
  19408. &lt;p&gt;Its built-in odour defence helps protect against the build-up of unpleasant smells and instead leaves an intense, lingering floral scent. &lt;/p&gt;

  19549.  
  19550.  
  19551.

  19561.  
  19562.  
  19563.  
  19564. &lt;p&gt;Between 2003 and 2006, Roger Draper served as the chief executive of Sport England.&lt;/p&gt;
  19565.  
  19566.  
  19567.  
  19568. &lt;p&gt;He also spearheaded a major reorganisation and review of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;sport&lt;/a&gt; funding in the UK, overseeing the completion of a number of sporting facilities and institutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  19569.  
  19570.  
  19571.  
  19572. &lt;p&gt;His duties included conducting a review of how numerous sports were governed, including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23307251/who-invented-cricket/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;cricket&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/2238885/what-is-the-difference-between-rugby-union-and-rugby-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;rugby league&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/13292549/how-many-rounds-boxing-minutes/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;boxing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29314126/red-and-black-card-athletics-paris-2024-olympics/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;athletics&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/hockey/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;hockey&lt;/a&gt; and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21773545/what-is-a-golf-grand-slam-tiger-woods/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;golf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19573.  
  19574.  
  19575.  
  19576. &lt;p&gt;He was also influential&amp;nbsp;in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19289170/london-plans-host-olympic-games-record/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;London&amp;#8217;s successful 2012 Olympic bid&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6149512/wembley-stadium-cost-build-how-much-fa-loss-shahid-khan/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;construction of the new&amp;nbsp;Wembley Stadium&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19577.  
  19578.  
  19579.  
  19580. &lt;p&gt;Roger became the head of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) in 2006.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;During his tenure the LTA saw a 45% increase in turnover and commercial revenues, as well as a 500% increase in British tennis membership.&lt;/p&gt;
  19581.  
  19582.  
  19583.  
  19584. &lt;p&gt;Under his leadership, Britain clinched the Junior &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/davis-cup/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Davis Cup&lt;/a&gt; for the first time and several juniors claimed grand slam titles.&lt;/p&gt;
  19585.  
  19586.  
  19587.  
  19588. &lt;p&gt;The biggest achievement during his time was &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28609887/wimbledon-career-andy-murray/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Andy Murray’s Wimbledon title in 2013&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  19589.  
  19590.  
  19591.  
  19592. &lt;p&gt;When he stepped down from the LTA later that year, Roger said: &amp;#8220;It has been a huge honour to serve the sport that I love so much and to play my part in leading British tennis.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19593.  
  19594.  
  19595.  
  19596. &lt;p&gt;Roger also oversaw a rebranding, spearheaded stadium renovations and introduced a new membership model at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/warrington-wolves/page/2/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Warrington Wolves&lt;/a&gt; rugby league team.&lt;/p&gt;
  19597.  
  19598.  
  19599.  
  19600. &lt;p&gt;The rewards from his hard work were reaped when Wolves won the League Leaders Shield, competed in the final of the Challenge Cup and earned a spot in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/super-league/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Super League&lt;/a&gt; Grand Final during their 2016 campaign.&lt;/p&gt;

  19895.  
  19896.  
  19897.  
  19898. &lt;p&gt;Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a tooth missing from his upper right set and asked whether it might have happened on the show.&lt;/p&gt;
  19899.  
  19900.  
  19901.  
  19902. &lt;p&gt;One viewer wrote: &amp;#8220;Not to be rude but&amp;#8230;what in the dental situation?&amp;#8221; along with a picture of Conor and his missing tooth.&lt;/p&gt;
  19903.  
  19904.  
  19905.  
  19906. &lt;p&gt;But many fans took to &lt;span id=&quot;faa39577-f16e-4872-aed4-eae2bc9ef8cf&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;reddit&lt;/span&gt; to explain that &lt;span id=&quot;078793d7-ee2e-4da2-9799-0a1fcf568143&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;the missing&lt;/span&gt; tooth was likely a result of him playing rugby.&lt;/p&gt;
  19907.  
  19908.  
  19909.  
  19910. &lt;p&gt;This person shared: &amp;#8220;Dental implants are very expensive and the process is long. He might not mind missing a side tooth which is fine! Genetic condition or a rugby injury perhaps? It’s really not a big deal or anyone’s place to judge.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19911.  
  19912.  
  19913.  
  19914. &lt;p&gt;A second said: &amp;#8220;He’s played full contact rugby for years, I assume that was the cause. From following other players, they won’t get a permanent fix until they retire from rugby because the chance is high it will just get damaged again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19915.  
  19916.  
  19917.  
  19918. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Conor’s &lt;span id=&quot;345fc7fc-472f-4656-b40b-a87882c8c03e&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;teeth&lt;/span&gt; actually give his face character, they suit him. They are clean and look &lt;span id=&quot;f308c59f-96c7-4882-b245-d736c8935ead&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;nice&lt;/span&gt;. Also he’s a rugby player they tend to lose teeth it’s high contact,&amp;#8221; a third commented.&lt;/p&gt;
  19919.  
  19920.  
  19921.  
  19922. &lt;p&gt;Another added: &amp;#8220;He’s a rugby player. There is literally no point getting your teeth done before you retire. My husband was missing his front tooth from rugby when I met him…I sorted that straight out ha!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19923.  
  19924.  
  19925.  
  19926. &lt;p&gt;While several other people defended the star&amp;#8217;s natural teeth.&lt;/p&gt;
  19927.  
  19928.  
  19929.  
  19930. &lt;p&gt;This viewer said: &amp;#8220;It costs a fortune to get dental implants for regular people. He’s attractive in any case. Better than the &lt;span id=&quot;6fb1a410-b386-48a9-af07-b1f7fb613712&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Turkey&lt;/span&gt; teeth.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19931.  
  19932.  
  19933.  
  19934. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I’d rather have real teeth like this than those piano keys the rest of them have got in their mouths,&amp;#8221; someone else fumed.&lt;/p&gt;

We don’t all have &lt;span id=&quot;b7c42f61-7255-4e05-8fc3-124c7c7da850&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;turkey&lt;/span&gt; teeth! He probably lost it with rugby or whatever but yeah.. his teeth are unique to him.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19959.  
  19960.  
  19961.  
  19962. &lt;p&gt;Conor&amp;#8217;s time in the villa hasn&amp;#8217;t been completely plain sailing after love interest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35674851/love-island-megan-secret-connection-conor-fan-conspiracy-theories/&quot;&gt;Megan was dumped from the villa&lt;/a&gt; during a shock public vote.&lt;/p&gt;
  19963.  
  19964.  
  19965.  
  19966. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35664314/love-island-megan-regrets-behaviour-villa/&quot;&gt;Since then, actress Megan&lt;/a&gt; has revealed that Conor slid into her DMs in the past.&lt;/p&gt;
  19967.  
  19968.  
  19969.  
  19970. &lt;p&gt;She told heatworld in an interview: &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s so funny, right? So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;four years ago, and I never followed him back.&lt;/p&gt;
  19971.  
  19972.  
  19973.  
  19974. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But then since coming out, I&amp;#8217;ve seen that he follows me on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/&quot;&gt;TikTok&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and he&amp;#8217;s actually commented on one of my TikToks.&lt;/p&gt;
  19975.  
  19976.  
  19977.  
  19978. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Again, I&amp;#8217;ve not followed him back or even realised he had commented on one.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19979.  
  19980.  
  19981.  
  19982. &lt;p&gt;She laughed: &amp;#8220;So, yeah, it&amp;#8217;s&amp;nbsp;nice&amp;nbsp;that he&amp;#8217;s still trying four years later.&lt;/p&gt;
  19983.  
  19984.  
  19985.  
  19986. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s worked out for him now, I suppose.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
  19987.  
  19988.  
  19989.  
  19990. &lt;p&gt;Eagle-eyed fans went wild over the theory&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35618819/love-island-megan-conor-pictures/&quot;&gt;that Megan and Conor&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;knew each other before entering the villa &amp;#8211; after photos seemingly showed them at the same nightclub.&lt;/p&gt;
  19991.  
  19992.  
  19993.  
  19994. &lt;p&gt;Old snaps show Megan with a pal in a night club, while another picture supposedly clocks Conor in the same club long before they entered the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/itv2/&quot;&gt;ITV2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/dating/&quot;&gt;dating&lt;/a&gt; show. &lt;/p&gt;
  19995.  
  19996.  
  19997.  
  19998. &lt;p&gt;The speculation comes after Megan was voted the least favourite girl by the public after an ugly split from Tommy.&lt;/p&gt;
  19999.  
  20000.  
  20001.  
  20002. &lt;p&gt;The Irish star was booted out the villa after finding herself in the bottom three girls, along with Shakira, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35589120/love-island-megan-conor-hideaway-snogs/&quot;&gt;Megan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35600246/love-island-feud-toni-helena-hideaway/&quot;&gt;Toni.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20003.  
  20004.  
  20005.  
  20006. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The brunette bombshell&amp;#8217;s&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35664314/love-island-megan-regrets-behaviour-villa/&quot;&gt;departure followed days of drama&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;after she cracked on with Conor while in a couple with Tommy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  20081.  
  20082.  
  20083.  
  20084. &lt;p&gt;Fellow dumped Islanders including&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35399721/love-island-blu-dumped-twist-shae/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; Blu Chegini,&lt;/a&gt; Shea Mannings and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35372562/who-left-love-island-2025/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;20ea5efd-f41e-406d-8626-bf414f6d905a&quot; class=&quot;suggested-link&quot;&gt;Caprice&lt;/span&gt; Alexandra&lt;/a&gt; joined them for the get together.&lt;/p&gt;
  20085.  
  20086.  
  20087.  
  20088. &lt;p&gt;Malisha was one of&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35388700/love-island-three-female-bombshelles-villa/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; a trio of bombshell girls&lt;/a&gt; who entered the villa, alongside Emily Moran and Yasmin Pettet.&lt;/p&gt;
  20089.  
  20090.  
  20091.  
  20092. &lt;p&gt;During her time on the show, Malisha&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35414258/love-island-feud-erupts-meg-clashes-new-bombshell-malisha/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; clashed with fellow villa girl Meg Moore.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  20093.  
  20094.  
  20095.  
  20096. &lt;p&gt;Namely, over co-star Dejon Noel-Williams &amp;#8211; who is coupled up with Meg.&lt;/p&gt;
  20097.  
  20098.  
  20099.  
  20100. &lt;p&gt;After a recoupling, Malisha and Toni Laites were left vulnerable and at risk of being dumped.&lt;/p&gt;
  20101.  
  20102.  
  20103.  
  20104. &lt;p&gt;Both went on a date with&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35448400/new-love-island-bombshell-harrison-fancies-toni/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt; new arrival Harrison Solomon &lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8211; with only one returning to the villa with him.&lt;/p&gt;
  20105.  
  20106.  
  20107.  
  20108. &lt;p&gt;Harrison opted for US star Toni, meaning that Malisha &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35556172/dumped-bombshell-malisha-another-swipe-meg-dejon/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;was therefore dumped.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
