It sounds like a contradiction. After weeks of sunshine, dry gardens and fields that look like they've forgotten what rain is, the arrival of a huge downpour might seem like exactly what the ground needs. But after a prolonged dry spell, heavy rain can actually create a surprisingly rapid risk of flooding. And with 2026 having already delivered an exceptionally dry summer across much of England and Wales, it's a […]
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to move back to the UK later this month. The couple, who relocated to the United States in March 2020, will live in a non-royal residence outside London for an extended period. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, aged seven and five, are due to start at a British school in September. It is understood there will be no change to their status […]
There is something rather satisfying about travelling by train. You get on, find a seat, put your bag down and then, for a while, somebody else does the driving. No traffic jams. No searching for somewhere to park. No arguments about which lane you should be in. And then there is the view. Britain has some remarkable railway journeys, from dramatic Highland landscapes to seaside runs, rolling countryside and routes […]

There are meals that impress people. Then there are meals that make you feel better. Comfort food doesn't need to be complicated, fashionable or beautifully presented. Sometimes it is simply the food you remember from growing up, the meal you make when the weather turns miserable or something you crave after a long day. And after years of complicated recipes, trendy ingredients and food delivered straight to our doors, simple […]
Russia has issued formal threats against the UK following reports that Ukraine is using British drones to strike targets deep inside Russian territory. In a statement, the Russian Embassy in London said the reports demonstrate the UK is deliberately choosing to escalate the crisis while hypocritically claiming a desire for peace. It warned that London's actions will inevitably carry consequences for which it will have to answer. The government is […]

Eleven major fires in the last 48 hours and 43 new wildfires since Friday have left services under incredible pressure, a fire chief has said. Phil Garrigan from the National Fire Chiefs Council said major incidents had been declared across the UK, including in Stourbridge, Sandwell, Pershore, Stoke-on-Trent, Hampshire, and South Wales. Many residents forced to flee their homes remain unsure when they can return. In Stourbridge, where 38 homes […]
There's something wonderfully British about a heatwave. For months, we complain that it's too cold, too wet and too grey. Then the temperature climbs into the high twenties and, within about 24 hours, we're complaining that it's too hot. The fans come out. The barbecue gets dusted off. The supermarket shelves empty of ice cream. And suddenly nobody can remember how to sleep. Britain isn't exactly famous for its ability […]
