The tail end of February 2026 has delivered a brutal reminder that the British winter isn’t done with us yet. Following the trail of destruction left by Storm Goretti earlier this month—which saw wind speeds peak at 99mph—a stubborn Arctic air mass has dropped temperatures to a bone-chilling 12.5°C in parts of the UK. As […]
Cities all over Britain are changing the way they look and feel. In cities like Edinburgh and Bristol, streets are being changed so that they are easier for people to get to. Steps and narrow sidewalks are being replaced with flat paths, surfaces that can be felt, and separate lanes for wheelchair users. It’s not […]
As of February 2026, Damon Darling’s net worth is estimated to be between $1.5 million and $3 million. This figure isn’t just a random guess; it’s the result of a massive pivot from a viral social media prankster to a legitimate national comedy headliner. Unlike your typical Hollywood actor with a set salary, Darling’s wealth […]
Look, if you’ve spent any time watching a tall, curly-haired man shout at sheep in the Cotswolds recently, you probably think you know the story of Jeremy Clarkson. You see the muddy Land Rover, the pint of Hawkstone lager, and the seemingly eternal presence of Lisa Hogan by his side. But if we’re being honest, […]
Thirteen seconds of silence can seem like an eternity in a television studio. But after Jessy Potts strutted into the South African villa last night, February 9, 2026, however, the silence wasn’t awkward. It was heavy. You could practically smell the tension — and the perfume — through your screen. For those of us who’ve been plugged into […]
I remember watching Susan Calman on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017. She didn’t just dance; she brought it to the ballroom with the verve of a woman who had just been handed the keys to the kingdom. I’ve been writing about the health industry for more than a decade, and generally, when a celebrity loses weight, it’s the […]
I’ve spent the better part of fifteen years listening to women describe the intimate details of their monthly cycles. In my time as a health journalist and patient advocate, I’ve sat in sterile clinic waiting rooms that smelled of floor wax and cheap tea, talking to genuinely terrified women. Some were curled in agony, convinced […]
I’ve been following the state pension saga for well over a decade, but I can truly say that I have never seen anything as gut-wrenching as the scene in the House of Commons last Thursday. If you’ve had your head in the sand, or maybe hidden under that rock, you may not know about it, but for […]
We love to pretend that reality TV money is just ‘accidental’. We see the fast cars and the designer hauls and tell ourselves it’s all just luck and a bit of good lighting. People act like it’s either luck or smoke and mirrors. Like the cash just fell out of the sky because a camera […]
It starts, as these things often do, with a dog lead and a hallway whisper. The object in question is neither a crown nor a carriage. A couple of small, low-slung corgis with clever faces and that “I know something you don’t” trot. Muick and Sandy. Muick and Sandy were the last two corgis owned […]
There’s a moment that happens to young actors sometimes. You can almost see it from the back row. The shoulders are square. The voice lands. The room goes quiet in that particular theatre way when people stop rustling sweets and start listening properly. That’s the moment Mia Carragher has been chasing for years, whether the […]
If you live anywhere near Northfield, you’re already familiar with the vibe. A shopping centre that once felt busy now has that slightly tired look. A few shops are doing well, while a few units appear to be struggling. And then there’s the big empty question hanging over the place: what happens next? Now we’ve […]
