Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow caught in crossfire as Daniel lashes out

Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow caught in crossfire as Daniel lashes out

Published by Daniella Wilson

Ken Barlow (William Roache) has reached breaking point with son Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) in Coronation Street. Earlier this week, Daniel broke down at work when Lily Platt (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner) and Jake Windass (Bobby Bradshaw) asked intense questions about his former relationship with paedophile Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon). Hope Dobbs (Isabella Flanagan) came to his rescue, and it became clear that he was in no state to return to Weatherfield High. The abuse from his pupils was just the tip of the iceberg. Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) had been writing vile messages about him online under the pseudonym Truthteller, in the hope he would continue to see her as a pillar of support and allow her to stay at his flat long-term. She felt guilt-ridden, and although she stopped, an imitation account – Truthteller2 – was launched. Daniel was even ambushed in the street by a group of teenagers, who were armed with ketchup bottles.

The 40-year-old reality star, who in November competed on the British survival series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, condemned recent articles written about his weight. “I cannot believe I’m having to actually make this f***ing video,” Jack said Wednesday in an Instagram video. “If I see one more article written about me saying how I’m ‘sick,’ I’m ‘grossly underweight’, [that I’m] ‘health crisis Jack’… It’s f***ing insane.” He insisted that he has not lost any weight since he finished filming I’m A Celebrity in Australia more than six months ago. “I’ve been the same f***ing weight,” he argued. “The only …

Reform’s Richard Tice lashes out at ‘unhinged’ protester: ‘Totally abhorrent!’ | Politics | News

Published by Sam Flores

As Mr Tice talked about the deeply troubling problem of antisemitism in the UK and how it should be tackled, the demonstrator held up a placard saying: “Voting Reform? They think you’re stupid.” He then turned the placard round to reveal another slogan: “You need the NHS, Reform would sell it.” But the stunt instantly backfired, with outraged viewers taking to social media to slam the protester’s terrible timing. One person wrote on social media site X: “Imagine being so shameless. Richard Tice speaking to GB News about the fact that two Jews have just been stabbed in Golders Green in yet ANOTHER antisemitic attack in Britain. And this man thinks it’s an appropriate time to do this. “I’m sure he would have been able to hear what was being discussed and chose to do it anyway. Disgusting.” Mr Tice replied to the post by saying the “vile man” was “unhinged”. He added: “Totally abhorrent. I gave him a piece of my mind after the interview.” Police wrestled the suspected terror attacker in Golders Green …

Kash Patel’s girlfriend lashes out at ‘sick’ report suggesting she was holding another person’s hand after shots rang out at correspondents’ dinner

Kash Patel’s girlfriend lashes out at ‘sick’ report suggesting she was holding another person’s hand after shots rang out at correspondents’ dinner

Published by Sam Flores

FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend has lashed out at a report suggesting she held another man’s hand after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. The New York Times published, but later edited, a report suggesting musician Alexis Wilkins was spotted holding hands with someone who wasn’t Patel inside a private holding room after shots rang out at the event, according to the Daily Mail. “I was only ever holding Kash’s hand; anything to suggest otherwise is false. It is sick for the New York Times to have used this time after a perceived active shooting as a political tool. They will stop at nothing to push a narrative out that’s damaging to people they’ve determined they dislike,” Wilkins told the Daily Mail. When reached for comment, a NYT spokesperson told The Independent: “A Times journalist on the scene of the Correspondents’ Dinner accurately reported during the breaking news events of the evening, including Ms. Wilkins’ sheltering in a room while holding a security officer’s hand.” “This reporting was published in a live …

Merz lashes out at Trump and Brussels as Germany’s economy falters – POLITICO

Merz lashes out at Trump and Brussels as Germany’s economy falters – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

Merz’s attacks on Brussels are part of a bid to placate German industry leaders, who blame excessive EU regulation for a loss of competitiveness. Four in five German firms complain that bureaucracy has increased over the past three years, according to a survey of 1,000 companies by the German Economic Institute. More than 90 percent want EU rules scaled back. “Only as a strong economic hub can we be a strong international player,” Stefan Berger, a German conservative MEP focused on the economy, told POLITICO. “In this situation, it makes sense to look to Brussels, scrutinize some existing regulations and cut through unnecessary red tape so that European companies can focus more on production and less on paperwork.” Merz’s attempts to pin the blame abroad have a great deal to do with his limited domestic options and sinking popularity. The chancellor this week, for the first time, fell to last place in polling firm INSA’s popularity ranking of Germany’s 20 most prominent politicians. Meanwhile, only 15 percent of Germans said they are satisfied with Merz’s …

Beijing lashes out at EU after Chinese firms included in latest Russia sanctions – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

The EU’s 20th sanctions package, approved last week after Hungary and Slovakia dropped their veto, targets another 20 Russian banks, cutting them off from euro transactions and business in the bloc. The breakthrough on the sanctions came after a dispute over the Druzhba oil pipeline — which carries Russian crude via Ukraine to Central Europe — was resolved. The package also targets banks and companies in third countries, including China, as part of a broader push to shut down back channels used to support Russia’s war economy, with a strong focus on anti-circumvention measures across trade, energy and financial networks. French President Emmanuel Macron warned on Friday that Europe is now under pressure from the United States, China and Russia at the same time. “We should not underestimate that this is a unique moment where a U.S. president, a Russian president, a Chinese president are dead against the Europeans,” Macron said, speaking alongside Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens. The French leader called on the EU to “wake up” and defend its own interests. …

What to expect next from the ‘special relationship’ as Trump again lashes out at Keir Starmer

What to expect next from the ‘special relationship’ as Trump again lashes out at Keir Starmer

Published by Sam Flores

Operation Epic Fury unleashed overwhelming firepower on Iran and a Trump broadside against Britain’s prime minister. The president belittled Keir Starmer as being no comparison to Winston Churchill, raged against caveated British support and placed Britain’s standing as America’s “greatest ally” firmly in the past tense. Starmer refused the bait. His government is privately contemptuous of the Trump administration. But he still needs to deal with the US president and how he should do that following the recent vitriol is a very live question. Winston Churchill appropriated the term special relationship after the second world war to refer to the myriad Anglo-American connections. Some were government-to-government, spanning privileged diplomatic, economic, military, nuclear and intelligence cooperation. Others were historical and cultural, from which evolved a sentimental myth of special relations based on uniquely entwined histories, a common language, similar values and so forth. For 80 years, Britain and the US stood shoulder-to-shoulder in defence of a liberal international order they fashioned from the ruins of war. The US became a hyperpower. Post-imperial Britain settled as a …
