I suppose it's a rather good thing that George Martin had lousy taste in neckties. Had he worn something a little more fashionable than a black tie with a red horse motif on June 6, 1962 then presumably after slagging off The Beatles' first demo recording session when Martin then asked four young men from Liverpool 'Is there anything you don't like?' George Harrison would not have replied 'Well, for a start, I don't like your tie.' Cue hilarity, a...

The girlfriend of a man who taught her pug to give Nazi salutes when he said “gas the Jews” and “Sieg Heil” yesterday told a court he turned her dog into a MONSTER.

He claims the video was made to annoy girlfriend, Suzanne Kelly, and denies any wrongdoing. Kelly, also 29, yesterday told a...

A Scottish couple have become the first people to complete the Mongol Rally in an all-electric vehicle after relying on cafes, hotels and BARBERSHOPS to recharge on the way. Chris and Julie Ramsey, aka Plug In Adventures, crossed the finish line in Ulan-Ude on Saturday in their modified 2016 Nissan LEAF after travelling 8,000 miles through 13 countries to reach Siberia.

In yet ANOTHER U-turn for Theresa May, her Conservative manifesto pledge to make private schools sponsor academies, forge state sector partnerships or offer scholarships to poorer children to keep their charitable status has appears to have sinisterly disappeared. Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner accused the Tories of "yet another U-turn" for ditching “one of the few sensible ideas the Conservatives had”. “Ministers are ripping up the manifesto on which they stood just months ago page by page," said Rayner. “The...

Remember this summer, not long after the General Election Theresa May called so that Britain could enjoy a "strong and stable" Government, just a fortnight after firefighters had fought to save the residents of Grenfell Tower, the PM survived the first test of her slim minority government, defeating a Labour Party amendment to the Queen’s Speech calling for an end to the 1% pay cap for emergency and public services by 323 to 309 votes. Northern Ireland’s 10 DUP MP’s - despite speaking out...

The Police Federation has accused Theresa May of telling the House of Commons a "downright lie" about the level of police pay at Prime Minister's Questions today.

"It shows they have lost touch with reality, if they ever had it, and are clueless as to the demands...

The achievements of Chris Froome, who completed a stunning Tour de France/Vuelta a Espana double in the same year on Sunday, almost needs shaking into the British sporting consciousness. It is a feat that has been achieved only twice previously and in discussing it, we’re talking about the crème de la crème of a sport steeped in history: Jacques Anquetil (1963) and Bernard Hinault (1978). To mitigate further, Anquetil completed it when the Vuelta was a two week event, it...
