Florentino Pérez has retained his position as president of Real Madrid after winning the club’s first competitive election in two decades, securing a new five-year term at the helm of the club. According to the Guardian, Pérez secured around 65 per cent of the club members’ votes, beating his rival, businessman Enrique Riquelme, who received 35 per cent of the vote, in an election that reflected a stronger opposition movement than in recent years. In his first comments following the announcement of the results, Pérez described the victory as a “historic result”, emphasising that his achievement represented the second-best election result…

In May 2019, I sat down with my mum in her living room and watched the first episode of Years and Years. This is a dystopian BBC drama created by screenwriter Russell T Davies. He is the same man who brought back Doctor Who in the mid-noughties. Since watching it in 2019, the six-part series has become an oracle. This is because almost every fictional prediction Davies makes in the series has terrifyingly come true. Please note this article contains spoilers. Predictions in Years and Years that came true Years and Years follows Mancunian family the Lyons, who gather one night…

New research warns that family hardship has deepened despite years of post-pandemic support measures, worsening child food hunger. The survey of 2,500 UK parents, which Opinium carried out for the Social Market Foundation, found that nearly half (44%) were struggling more today to afford food than five years ago. In addition, 1 in 5 (21%) parents reported their children regularly experiencing some form of food insecurity. This included being unable to access balanced meals, or relying heavily on cheap foods. The Social Market Foundation report comes at a time when the cost of living remains among the top issues for the…

Father’s Day gifts are often chosen based on emotion, but without long-term practicality. As a result, the thing looks nice at the moment they are given, but quickly loses its purpose in everyday life. That is why more and more people are turning to practical solutions – tools that are not just given but actually used for years. Why Most Father’s Day Gifts End Up in a Drawer Most gifts fail not because of quality, but because they lack a practical function. They either duplicate items they already own or do not fit into daily routines. Even items from the wood…

Buckingham Palace had emails six years ago showing the queen’s second son, Andrew, was abusing his position as UK trade envoy. It was a position the late queen had pressured the government into giving the Epstein pal formerly known as Prince Andrew. Court documents have revealed that the family had an archive of information since 2020 concerning Mountbatten-Windsor’s sharing of information with banking scion Jonathan Rowland. Andrew had told his serial child-rapist friend Jeffrey Epstein that Rowland’s “shady” banker father David was his “main money man”. Emails released in the US Justice Department’s Epstein files show Andrew, as trade envoy, trying…

A screenshot from the Kan 11 programme, which is only viewable on YouTube in Hebrew, and by using a VPN set to Israel. Israel’s long-running paedophilia scandal has exploded. A new documentary shown on Israeli TV has capped years of campaigning by victims and allies this week. Titled “No longer in denial: Gush Etzion admits to ritual abuse”, the Kan 11 ‘Zman Emet’ programme contained testimonies by victims living in illegal settlements that their leaders engaged in the gang-rape of children. The ‘leaders’ filmed the abuse and distributed it to their fellow paedophiles — and the local council has acknowledged the…

Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City after 10 special years

Pep Guardiola’s final match at the Etihad felt like a punctuation mark rather than a spectacle. He chose a day that honoured staff, academy graduates, and long‑serving players rather than chasing one last headline. The tone was controlled, personal and unmistakably Guardiola: detail‑driven, human‑centred and low on theatrics. The farewell City fielded an experimental side and the result mattered less than the people on the pitch. That selection underlined a simple point: Guardiola treated the club as a project of stewardship, not a stage for self‑promotion. The final day was about the club’s story and the people who helped write it.…
