Great British Bake Off’s Nadiya Hussain reduced to tears by mean tweet

    Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain on Sunday revealed how she reduced to tears by a mean tweet. The 31-year-old received a barrage of anti-Islamic abuse on social media and had to have a police presence at her home after winning the BBC programme last year. In an interview with Daily Express's S Magazine, Hussain said that the last time she cried was when she read a mean tweet. She added that if she could pass a law she would give all Twitter trolls ASBOs.

May to speak in favour of Trident renewal as Labour MPs given free vote

    Life onboard a Trident submarine as parliament prepares to vote on future of Britain's nuclear deterrent.

In her first statement to the House as Prime Minister, Ms May will say: “We cannot compromise on our national security. We cannot outsource the grave responsibility we shoulder for keeping our people safe.” She will also issue a stark warning to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has campaigned against nuclear weapons for decades, and has given his MPs a free vote on the issue, “We cannot abandon our ultimate safeguard out of misplaced idealism,” she...

Emergency Landing For Boris Johnson At Luton

    A problem, reportedly with the hydraulics, forces a plane carrying the new Foreign Secretary to make an emergency landing. Boris Johnson's first overseas trip as Foreign Secretary got off to a shaky start as his plane was forced to make an emergency landing on its way to Brussels. The plane, described by the Ministry of Defence as a small military aircraft, took off from RAF Northolt on Sunday afternoon but had to land at Luton Airport. A Foreign Office spokesman said there was a "technical issue" on the RAF flight, which had been carrying Mr Johnson and some officials to the Belgian capital. No further details were available. He added: "The Foreign Secretary thanked the RAF crew for their professionalism and was grateful to Luton Airport for the brief, unscheduled welcome...

I can block UK exit from Europe: Scotland’s First Minister

    Nicola Sturgeon has suggested she has a veto over when Britain leaves the European Union, in comments that will infuriate Right-wing ministers in charge of Brexit. Scotland’s First Minister conceded that she can dictate the timing of a British exit from the EU in an interview on BBC1’s The Andrew Marr Show. Asked if she had a “veto in her back pocket” about when Britain leaves the EU, she replied: “I think we are in a very strong position. That is a position that I am going to use as well as I can.” Her comments came after Liam Fox, the new International Trade Secretary, and David Davis, the new Brexit Secretary, said they wanted Britain to start formal exit talks by the end of this year. On Friday, Theresa May indicated that Brexit could be delayed as she said she would n...
