In his second line-up of the evening, the King encountered a difficult situation when Sir Rod Stewart brought up his recent visit to the United States and told President Trump’s monarch, “You put that little ratbag in his place.” “Hello, Sir,” the singer said. Well done in the Americas, if I may say so. You were excellent. Excellent. You placed him in his proper place, tiny ratbag. As Stewart responded, “It went right over his head,” the King’s response was vague, with the exception of a later reference to “yes exactly.” There was conjecture that this might allude to the…

Gravy can be rejuvenated by heating it for a short while. You end up back where you started—a congealed lump of yesterday’s mess—when the steam subsides and the juices jellify. The same is true of Sir Keir Starmer’s last-ditch effort to remain in politics. He had a fantastic start to his emergency address. The old sausage was too hot to handle! Yes, at first. He was almost impressive for a few minutes since he was so high on adrenaline. But eventually, the intensity subsided, the tempo slowed, and the voice lost its outrage, returning us to the nasal knight of…

There is hardly a day that passes that I am not troubled by Lucy Letby’s wrongful conviction, in my opinion. The former neonatal nurse has served more than 2,000 days in prison after receiving 15 whole life terms for killing seven infants and attempting to kill seven more at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. She is 36 years old and has been sentenced to death in prison. Yet many legal experts agree that the threshold of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ was never reached in her case and even some of her detractors agree that a…

Police have been notified that election posters in east London that portray a Jewish IDF soldier as “Labour’s monster” are “stirring up anti-Semitism.” The posters on Cable Street in Shadwell, Tower Hamlets, show the words “Labour’s monsters” alongside a picture of an armed Israeli settler smiling and holding up his phone. According to a report Alex Hearn of Labour Against Anti-Semitism filed with the Metropolitan Police, the image was “selected to appear menacing,” which violated the Public Order Act. The horrible description is not based on Israeli military behaviour in general, but rather on Jewish religious identification markers. The report…

Despite his party’s “war on motorists,” a Green council member triumphantly shared video of himself driving a Lamborghini just days after winning the election. Alongside footage of him winning his seat in Bolton, Greater Manchester’s Halliwell ward last week, the video featured Mohammad Baghdadi Khan driving the gas-guzzling supercar. The clip, which features the Lamborghini Huracán Spyder, which can cost up to £270,000, seems to have been shot during a wedding in 2023 when guests were transported to the location by a fleet of supercars. Additionally, he shared video of himself driving what appeared to be his standard vehicle—a Mercedes…

Millionaires and former pilots are urging governments to stop private jet travel as the Cannes Film Festival gets underway today. According to recent data, two million litres of paraffin were burnt while transporting the wealthy and well-known to and from the festival the previous year. According to new data from T&E, some 750 private aircraft flew to and from the Cannes Film Festival in 2025, emitting emissions equivalent to 14,000 passengers on commercial return flights from Paris to Athens. In light of predictions that aircraft fuel shortages would affect millions of European vacationers as early as June, celebrities are now…

After being freed from the former Covid quarantine hospital where they are living, British evacuees from the hantavirus-stricken cruise liner are not legally required to self-isolate, it was revealed on Monday night. After spending 72 hours at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral, the 22 passengers who were brought back from the MV Hondius are need to finish a 42-day isolation period. However, until passengers refuse to cooperate and the public is considered to be at risk, health officials will rely on voluntary cooperation. Families residing within the hospital building, where a taped-up door divides passengers isolated following the epidemic…

According to insiders, Prince William “will find a way” to attend his favourite Aston Villa’s Europa League cup final in Turkey next week. The 43-year-old Prince of Wales was there for the team’s semi-final second leg at Villa Park last week, when he rejoiced at full time after their 4-0 victory over Nottingham Forest overcame a 1-0 deficit in the first leg. The future King warmly applauded and celebrated with those seated nearby during the game, which represents Aston Villa’s first major European tournament since 1982. The TNT Sports cameras captured him and other fans belting out Neil Diamond’s 1969…

The quiet Majorcan community of Santa Margalida, as well as the larger entertainment industry, have been shaken by his passing. Many people have talked about the difficult final months of former TOWIE star Jake Hall in the days since his passing. The 35-year-old businessman and artist, who had been residing in a rented property in the village while concentrating on his artwork, passed away last week from severe injuries. According to Spanish investigators, Hall appears to have ran through a patio door during a party at the residence, resulting in a deadly chest wound from shattered glass. His death is…

For those with disabilities like dyslexia and ADHD, TikTok “sickfluencers” are teaching their followers how to use sunflower lanyards to avoid airport lines and reap additional perks. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program is intended to serve as a “discreet” way for those with “non-visible” conditions to let others know that they require additional assistance when they are in public. More than 300 airports and 31 airlines worldwide, including British Airways, Ryanair, and EasyJet, presently recognise it. The lanyards can be picked up for free at certain airports or purchased online for £6. They don’t seem to demand documentation of a…
