Liz Truss speaking at the CPAC conference in the US.

Liz Truss’s recent interview with GB News America may be her most uncomfortable one to date, judging from a clip circulating online.

The former prime minister is securing headline after headline as she promotes her new book, Ten Years To Save The West – but, unfortunately for the current backbencher, most of the news around her is focusing on her gaffes.

And, it seems her latest sit-down with GB News is no exception, despite... Читать дальше...

A migration expert has outlined a crucial detail about the controversial bill to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda – it’s not the only option we have to deal with high levels of refugees.

The bill finally passed through parliament on Monday, meaning it’s well on its way to becoming law despite ongoing concerns about human rights.

When three men, one woman and a seven-year-old girl died in the Channel early on Tuesday morning while trying to cross in a small boat... Читать дальше...

Of all the roles that might have influenced Hannah Waddingham’s casting in Ted Lasso, we would not have put our money on her brief-but-memorable Game Of Thrones character.

The British actor and all-round national treasure played Rebecca Welton, owner of the AFC Richmond football club, in all three seasons of Ted Lasso.

But before landing her Emmy-winning role in the feel-good comedy, fans of Game Of Thrones will remember Hannah as Septa Unella... Читать дальше...

Man making a speech at a wedding.

In a Reddit post shared to r/AITAH (am I the asshole), site user No_Kiwi_2 asked whether or not they were in the wrong for announcing their wife’s pregnancy at their brother’s wedding. 

“My brother got married last weekend. Instead of a ‘welcome to the family’ toast, I used the time to announce that we were expecting our first baby,” the poster shared. 

They added that they knew it might ruffle some feathers, and it did. “My mum says I was... Читать дальше...

You say “bunny,” I hear “carrot.” But it turns out that in nature, the iconic duo never meet (I know, right?). 

According to the RSPCA, “while carrots are fine as an occasional treat, rabbits don’t actually eat fruit or vegetables in the wild.” In other words, rabbits CAN eat a bit of carrot ― but don’t by nature.

So, why do we have such a strong association between Leporidae and the root veg? Well, TikToker @deadboydetective explained that part of the reason so many of us make the... Читать дальше...

When you think of pop iconPink, a few things probably come to mind. 

The cropped, peroxide-blonde pixie cut. The distinct vocals. And, of course, the So What singer’s amazing acrobatic abilities. 

Pink is a trained aerialist and often uses her skills in her concerts.

“I wanted to be an Olympic gymnast before I was a singer. And once you get to fly, why would you not?”she told People in 2023. 

“My mum was like, ‘Are you ever going to stay on the ground?’ I was like, ’Yeah, I’m going to stand there [and] lip sync. Читать дальше...

I don’t know about you, but when the jury service letter comes in, I can almost feel my eyes roll into the back of my head. Yes, it’s important in a democracy to be part of a jury... but that doesn’t stop it feeling like a slog.

Lana Del Rey performing in Paris last year

Well, it wouldn’t be a Lana Del Rey concert without a little drama, would it?

For the second time in the space of a year, the singer’s less-than-stellar time-keeping is making headlines, as the Coachella festival is facing a $28,000 (£22,524) fine due to Lana’s headlining set running over.

The Grammy winner closed out the second Friday (April 19) of the California music festival last week, which ran 13 minutes over her allotted performance slot. Читать дальше...
