Nurses from Jamaica are to be targeted as potential recruits for the health service, the government has revealed, in its latest move to try and help mitigate the UK’s nursing recruitment crisis by looking overseas. It shows hallmarks of the years following the Second World War, when the British government began to encourage mass immigration from the countries of...

A six-year-old refused to accept defeat after bullies told her: "You can't play football, you're a girl” -- which resulted in her leading out England Women for a World Cup qualifier. Jessie Adams had initially joined in a small-sided game on the field during lunchtime but was told to stop playing after tackling another pupil.
