Counter-terror police investigating the murder of Ann Widdecombe have reopened a probe into an attempted burglary reported more than a year before her death. Joshua Kerry, twenty-eight, has been charged with murdering the former Tory minister, who was found dead at her Devon home on July ninth. The Metropolitan Police received a report in April 2025. A staff member has been referred to the police watchdog. A man has been […]
Take a drive around Britain today and you'll notice something. The roads are full of SUVs, crossovers and cars that, while perfectly capable, often look remarkably similar. There was a time when every journey was a little more colourful. British roads were filled with quirky designs, family favourites and cars with real personality. Some were brilliant. Some were terrible. But many are remembered with enormous affection. Here are some of […]

Ask almost anyone what they paid for something 20 or 30 years ago and you'll probably get the same response. "You wouldn't believe what it costs now!" While wages have changed over the years, it's hard not to notice that many everyday things seem far more expensive than they once were. Some prices have risen steadily, while others have left us wondering whether we've accidentally added an extra zero. Here […]
People in England needing immediate care for mental health problems will be able to access specialist walk-in hubs close to home, the government promises. Ministers plan to create nearly two hundred community mental health centres and mental health A&Es by 2029. Dozens will open in high street locations like banks and libraries. Currently, one in five people struggles with mental health, leaving thousands turning up at A&E. A letter released […]
If you've ever stood in a queue, waited for a train or met someone you haven't seen for a while, there's a good chance the conversation began with exactly the same topic. "The weather's changed, hasn't it?" Talking about the weather has become one of Britain's favourite pastimes. We know it's predictable, we know everyone does it... and yet we keep coming back to it. But why? Because our weather […]
A major search operation is under way off the East Yorkshire coast for a thirteen year old boy who got into difficulty while swimming. Emergency services were called to Hornsea at six in the evening. HM Coastguard, Humberside Police, and crews from Hornsea Inshore Rescue and the RNLI are searching the area alongside specialist search advisors, drone pilots, and marine officers. Police Scotland have received reports of several athletes unaccounted […]
No matter how much we love our homes, there are always a few jobs we'd happily hand over to someone else. Some chores are satisfying. There's something quite rewarding about a freshly cut lawn or a spotless kitchen. But then there are the jobs that somehow manage to stay at the bottom of the to-do list week after week. Here are some of the household tasks that few people genuinely […]
The widow of PC Andrew Harper, who was killed in the line of duty, has accused Andy Burnham of betrayal after learning two of her husband's killers remain eligible for early release. Lissie Harper spoke following the government's announcement that rapists, sex offenders, and groomers will be excluded from the early prison release scheme, with initial releases delayed until October. The Prime Minister warned excluding more offenders risks collapsing the […]
