There is something different about Friday. You can feel it before anyone has actually said the word. The alarm goes off, you get ready for work and the morning might look exactly the same as it did on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, but somehow it doesn't feel the same. Friday arrives with a little bit of extra energy attached to it. It isn't necessarily because anything particularly exciting is […]
President Trump says the United States has reached a deal with Denmark giving the US permanent control over security in Greenland. Writing on social media, Trump announced the US will immediately begin developing a major military presence there. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen confirmed both Denmark and Greenland expect to sign an agreement next week to bolster security across the Arctic and North Atlantic regions. Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary […]
Britain has plenty of laws, regulations and official procedures, but some of the most important rules governing everyday life have never been written down. Nobody formally teaches you them, there isn't an exam at the end of school and there certainly isn't an app telling you what to do. Somehow, though, most of us grow up knowing that there are certain things you simply don't do. You know you should […]
Human remains discovered in south-west London woodland following a wildfire have been identified as Joanne Sheen, who went missing in December 2019. Metropolitan Police officers were called to Feltham in August after bones were found in fire-damaged shrubland. A fifty-six-year-old man from Southampton has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

There is something slightly unusual about being Gen X. We grew up in a world that was largely analogue, became teenagers as technology was beginning to change everything, and entered adulthood just as the internet was starting to reshape everyday life. We remember a time before mobile phones and social media, but we also became adults in the years when computers, CDs, the web and mobile phones began moving from […]
Buckingham Palace has hit back at claims made in an upcoming book by Earl Spencer. The book claims that following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in September nineteen ninety-seven, the then-Prince Charles said "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough" during arrangements for her funeral procession. In response, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said King Charles is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason. Microsoft is […]
There was a time when a five-pound note felt like proper money. Not "I'll just tap my card and see what happens" money, but money you could actually see, hold and make a plan for. A crisp £5 note in your hand meant you had options. You could go into town, buy something to eat, get a drink, pick up a magazine and still have some change left over. Or […]
Andy Burnham will meet Donald Trump for the first time next week when attending a summit in New York. The prime minister is travelling to attend the United Nations general assembly taking place in New York City. Downing Street had previously said it was unsure if Burnham would meet Trump due to clashing schedules, but both men will meet at the event on Tuesday. A search is under way for […]
There is a particular kind of childhood that many Gen Xers remember. You went outside, found your friends, invented something to do and came home when you were hungry. There was no family WhatsApp group checking where you were, no smartphone quietly tracking your location and no YouTube tutorial explaining how to fix your bike. Somehow, you just got on with it. Of course, nostalgia has a habit of polishing […]
