★★★★★ Add Tip Toe to your watchlist Screams ring out across the rooftops of Manchester… A man is hanging dead from a lamppost outside his own home… He is immediately recognisable as the star of the show: Alan Cumming. Standing below is his brooding co-star David Morrissey, while another key cast member, Elizabeth Berrington, lies crumpled on the pavement. Such brutal imagery kick-starts a disturbing and suspenseful five-part drama from Russell T Davies. Tip Toe may unfold on the same turf as Queer as Folk, his dazzlingly breezy calling card of the 1990s, and even Cucumber, his sour midlife-crisis drama of 2015, but now in 2026 Davies argues that life has taken a much darker turn for LGBTQ+ people in Britain. Indeed, this is urgent, state-of-the-nation stuff from one of our shrewdest screenwriters. As Davies told me recently, “Our rights are paper-thin as gay people. We’re in great danger.

UK council issues urgent warning over dangerous caterpillars | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

Toxic caterpillars whose hairs can trigger breathing problems and painful skin irritation have sparked an urgent public warning after being spotted in Surrey. Woking Borough Council has urged residents to avoid contact with oak processionary moth (OPM) caterpillars and their nests, warning that the insects can pose risks to both people and pets. The caterpillars, which are active between late spring and early summer, are most commonly found on oak trees. While small in size, they are covered in thousands of tiny hairs containing toxins that can cause health problems if touched or inhaled. According to the council, symptoms can include itchy skin rashes, sore throats, eye irritation and breathing difficulties. Residents are being advised not to touch the caterpillars or their nests, to keep children and animals away from affected trees and to avoid attempting to remove nests themselves. The insects can be identified by their distinctive habit of moving in nose-to-tail processions, often travelling in long lines along tree trunks and branches. They also build silky white web-like nests on oak trees. The …

A product recall alert has been issued for a baby car seat product, with people advised to stop using it “immediately”. Maxi-Cosi is recalling all its Family Fix Slide Pro Base seats from buyers, according to recall information on the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS). It warns the baby car seat poses “risk of injuries” to children because of a malfunctioning safety indicator. The baby car seat could risk detaching from the base as a result of the malfunctioning indicator, the recall alert said. “The product presents a risk of injuries because the indicator, which shows whether the seat is correctly fitted, may display ‘green’ even when the car seat is not fully attached to the base,” recall information on the OPSS website reads. “As a result, a user may believe the seat is properly connected when it is not. “This could cause the seat to move or detach, potentially injuring the occupant.” The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, according to the OPSS.
