Four in five adults at risk of early death: heart-age test shows

    Almost four-fifths (78%) of more than 1.9 million people in England who have taken Public Health England’s… Four out of five adults have hearts that are more damaged than they should be for their age, putting them at greater risk of early death, a major study has shown. The disclosure prompted calls for Britons to ditch their unhealthy lifestyles and monitor their own health more closely in order to reduce their risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Leading doctors said the number of people with a heart older than their actual age was really alarming and should spur people to quit smoking, eat better and exercise more. The revelation reflects in part Britain’s high levels of obesity and physical inactivity and previously high smoking rate. Almost four-fifths (78...

U27 to offer May a carrot and stick approach to Brexit

    The EU27 are planning a carrot and stick approach to Brexit at an upcoming summit, offering Theresa May warm words on the Chequers plans to take to the Conservative conference alongside a sharp warning that they need a plan for Northern Ireland within weeks. The twin statements from the EU leaders at the meeting in Salzburg later this month would seek to give the British prime minister some evidence of progress in negotiations on the future trade deal as she seeks to fight off the threat of rebelling MPs. However, under the plans being discussed among the 27, a shot would be fired across May’s bows on the issue of a backstop for Northern Ireland, an issue on which officials and diplomats are becoming increasingly frustrated. This would come into force if a trade de...

I’m Britain’s most hated women

    The 35-year-old Emmerdale actress also finally addressed claims made by her former soap co-stars , which she branded as devastating. The interview was in stark contrast to her chat with Jeremy Vine , which viewers blasted for its softly softly approach. On Monday, Emma was seen sitting down with Roxanne in a pre-recorded chat with the former CBB star. Over the last few days, she faced the wrath of the public after saying Ryan had punched her five or six times and insisted that he had deliberately tried to hurt her. Watching it feels like a completely different scenario to it was at the time, Roxanne replied, but Emma probed her on how two days later she still got it so wrong. Especially when she reenacted what had happened on Ben. The former soap actress insisted...

London tube train door were open at speeds up to 40mph

TfL responded to the clip on Sunday, saying they were aware of the incident and that the faulty train h...

Qatar deal to cost taxpayers billons

    A deal to sell Typhoon fighter jets to Qatar will require "unprecedented" support from the British taxpayer, a government document has warned. Treasury officials expressed concern that underwriting the £6 billion deal risked “billions of Exchequer funding” if Qatar defaulted on the agreement. The worries stem from an agreement Britain signed with Qatar in December to sell the Gulf nation 24 of the supersonic jets, along with a package of weapons, pilot training and maintenance. Their assessment was that the transaction amounted to an unprecedented level of support to one buyer and risked “skewing”the portfolio of UK Export Finance (UKEF), the government’s credit agency, by concentrating about 25 per cent of their portfolio risk in one transaction.
