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 […]
Jason Arday, the former University of Cambridge professor who resigned following accusations of plagiarism, has been found dead. He was found unresponsive at an address in Battersea on Friday afternoon. The 41-year-old resigned as professor of sociology of education last week following reports alleging he plagiarised his PhD thesis at Liverpool John Moores University. Other claims also came under scrutiny, including running 600 miles in six days and raising millions […]
We all know the famous heroes. The firefighters who run towards danger. The emergency workers who keep us safe. The people who dedicate their lives to helping others. But what about the everyday heroes? The people who quietly make British life work without expecting a medal, a round of applause or even a thank you. They're everywhere. You probably know several of them. The person who lets you out at […]
Polls have closed in the by-election in Clacton, where Nigel Farage is expected to be re-elected to Parliament. The contest was triggered by the Reform UK leader's resignation in July, after scrutiny of donations and financial support he had received. Farage wanted a people versus the establishment by-election, but Westminster parties boycotted it, calling it a stunt. There are 34 candidates, including Count Binface, Laurence Fox, three Official Monster Raving […]
There are some films that seem to exist in a strange sort of time capsule. You remember them being absolutely everywhere. Everyone was talking about them. They were on posters, in magazine adverts, in the TV listings and eventually on the shelves of every video rental shop in Britain. Then, somehow, they disappeared. They're not necessarily bad films. Quite the opposite. Some were massive box-office successes, had famous actors and […]
