Rishi Sunak is under huge pressure to apologise.

The father of murdered schoolgirl Brianna Ghey has called on Rishi Sunak to apologise over his joke about trans people.

Peter Spooner said the remarks at PMQs - as Brianna’s mother, Esther, watched from the public gallery of the House of Commons - were “absolutely dehumanising”.

Last week two 16-year-olds were convicted of murdering 16-year-old Brianna, who was transgender.

Tory MPs have also broken ranks to condemn the prime minister... Читать дальше...

Is there anything more satisfying than the feeling after a big meal? You’re full, you’re a little sleepy, and you’re satisfied. In fact, for some (me), it’s the ideal time to just nod right off and have a cheeky 20 minute nap.

The film has won over hearts and critics with its ethereal, strange plot and performances from Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo but now, Poor Things has been rated by the most important person of all: Olivia Colman.

Victoria Derbyshire slammed Liz Truss's attempts to bounce back

Rishi Sunak on his way to PMQs

Rishi Sunak’s dig at trans people during prime minister’s questions has left social media in shock.

The prime minister tried to criticise Keir Starmer by suggesting he does not know what a woman is, while the mother of murdered trans teenager Brianna Ghey was in the room.

The incident occurred just after the Labour leader opened his own speech by welcoming Brianna Ghey’s mother Esther to the Commons viewing seats.

Starmer praised her for her “unwavering bravery”... Читать дальше...

After becoming a parent, I quickly learnt that there are a lot of things I’ve never known about babies. As a mum it was the first time I had heard of the word ‘colic’. Then I was soon introduced to the concept of ‘silent reflux’ through my nights of Googling and trawling through Mumsnet.

Not to be a cringe millennial saying “but first, coffee!”, but seriously, first thing in the morning, coffee. No talking, no checking my phone, nothing. I’m zombie-walking right to that coffee machine and getting a mug full of the good stuff before I even address the fact that another day has started.

Rishi Sunak

Rishi Sunak was met with cries of “shame” in the Commons, after he made a joke about trans people while the mother of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey was visiting parliament. 

Speaking during PMQs on Wednesday, the prime minister launched an attack on Keir Starmer for changing his policy positions.

Sunak said this included “defining a woman”, before adding with a laugh: “Although in fairness that was only 99% of a U-turn.”

The Labour leader hit back: “Of all the weeks to say that. Читать дальше...

What I’m about to talk about is probably one of the most controversial debates in parenthood. I know I’ve been a part of many conversations where this topic has come up and I have mixed feelings about it.

The topic in question – iPad kids.

One mum took to the internet to make her feelings clear about witnessing something ‘shocking’ while away on holiday at a resort. She said she had seen toddlers and kids on their iPads for their entire meals. Читать дальше...

Holly Valance speaking to GB News at the PopCon event

Former Neighbours star and singer Holly Valance thinks everyone becomes right-wing once they realise left-leaning ideas are “crap”.

Valance appeared alongside her husband, property tycoon Nick Candy, at the launch of the right-wing pressure group, the Popular Conservatives (or PopCon), on Tuesday.

Asked where she is politically, Valance said: “I would say that everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point... Читать дальше...

Sitting on the toilet

Want to know a secret? At any given time, one in seven adults and one in three kids in the UK are experiencing constipation (it’s also much more likely to affect women than men).

Whether you’re facing a lack of fibre, a less-than-active lifestyle, or simply not drinking enough water, you may be among the many affected by the condition. But how little pooping is too little ― and does such a number even exist? 

Here’s what we found out:

Kumail Nanjiani in character as Kingo in Eternals

Kumail Nanjiani has disclosed that he was so “traumatised” by the reaction to his film Eternals that it led him to begin therapy.

While there was plenty of excitement around the initial announcement that Kumail would be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Kingo Sunen, the resulting movie was not exactly well-received by critics.

On the reviews aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Eternals holds a critics’ score of 47%, while over on Letterboxd... Читать дальше...

Taylor Swift on stage in Brazil last year

Taylor Swift has spoken out in response to critics of her musical output.

It’s fair to say that the chart-topping singer has been a bit of a busy bee in the past few years, dropping three studio albums since 2020, as well as four re-recorded versions of previous releases, all of which have featured never-before-heard new material.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, Taylor announced during an acceptance speech at Sunday night’s Grammys that her latest album... Читать дальше...

Hearing a father's advice

It can be challenging to know what to do or say to children when a grandparent is suddenly diagnosed with a serious illness, especially in the early days when there’s a degree of uncertainty about prospective treatment and likely outcomes.  

It’s best not to keep too many secrets – children are very intuitive and will quickly pick up on any heightened sense of anxiety at home and conversations held in hushed tones will simply add to the feeling that something is very wrong. Читать дальше...

This is a close-up photo of a human eye

You might call it sleep in your eye, eye crust, or simply goop, it turns out there’s a proper name for the thin layer of dried gunk that forms in the corner of your eye when you sleep ― its medical name is rheum. 

And, despite its association with a good night’s sleep, we actually excrete rheum throughout the day; our eyes just usually blink the substances away when we’re awake. 

You might have noticed that the amount and vividness of your... Читать дальше...
