A striking photo of homes ablaze under the headline “Houses burn and train derails on hottest day” dominates the front of the Times. Perhaps unusually, it is a headline that encompasses three separate stories from Thursday – the fires that raged across the West Midlands, the rail accident near Lewes that left two people seriously injured, and the ongoing heatwave that saw the UK record its hottest day of 2026.
Thursday’s defeat – which drops Rangers into a Conference League play-off against Czechs Jablonec – comes on the back of the nightmare news Youssef Chermiti was ruled out with a long-term knee injury just after Rangers rejected a big-money bid for the 22-year-old.It means Rangers have had to set their sights on recruiting a new striker in addition to the wingers and defenders McInnes had already targeted. He says the club are “working so hard to get the necessary type of players”, with PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech set to be the latest arrival.Halliday thinks the squad “shouldn’t be that…
Warrington head coach Sam Burgess told Sky Sports:On the top two race: “Yeah, we’re going as high as we can. We’re aiming for the top.”It’s job done. I thought it was a risky night. We had three players coming back from injury and we were a little bit scrappy with the ball. Defensively, we weren’t as physical as we could have been, but we’re happy to get the two points.”On player of the match, Ewan Irwin: “He’s a great kid, he’s very balanced. He’s got talent, we can all see that. But his greatest attribute is he’s a wonderful person.…
Kew Gardens in London reached 38.1C on Thursday, making it the UK’s hottest day of 2026 so far, and the fifth hottest UK day on record.It is also the second time this year that the temperature has reached 38C, after Lingwood, Norfolk recorded 38.0C on 26 June.This is only the second time that 38C has been reached twice in the same year – the previous occasion being 2022.Though the Met Office amber warning for extreme heat that covered large swathes of England on Thursday expired at midnight, high temperatures will linger in central and eastern parts of England on Friday.Long…
In a way, Johansson had one of the most unenviable jobs upon his appointment. Filling the very large boots left by Askou.Despite only spending one season in the Scottish Premiership, the Dane attracted so many admirers – far beyond Lanarkshire – through his approach, attitude and style of football.It’s remarkable how seamlessly Johansson has picked up where he left off. Even more so considering key performers Elijah Just, Elliot Watt, Callum Slattery and Calum Ward also moved on.Few people had a better view of the now-Toulouse boss’ brilliance than Halliday – who spent his last playing year under Askou’s eye…
“It’s as simple as that,” he added. “They are political cowards. They should be ashamed of themselves.”I’ll tell you what – We’ll be partying into the night. We’ll be celebrating Nigel Farage’s victory – the man who’s going to take us into No10 in about three years’ time.”Mr Anderson also revealed the reason he believed there would not be a second by-election in Clacton, as other parties have predicted.But why?WATCH THE CLIP ABOVE FOR MOREKeep reading…Show less`; placeholder.classList.add(‘taboola-added’); console.log(‘inserting taboola in infinite feed position’, placeholder); placeholder.insertAdjacentHTML(‘beforeend’, taboola); } else { const loadContent = async () => { const postsHtml =…
Mr Farage predicted he had won “very convincingly”, saying he had beaten “Establishment candidate” Count Binface, the comedy writer named Jonathan Harvey backed by Labour, Tory and Lib Dem canvassers in Clacton.”My voters are ordinary folk… Working people who get up early in the morning, go to work and are sick of the way this country is going and see me as a champion for their views,” he said.But with a parliamentary probe still looming if he does indeed win tonight, the Reform leader said he did not think the “uniparty” would call a second by-election if he is found…
Millions of us were treated to a stunning spectacle on Wednesday during mainland Europe’s first total solar eclipse for more than 25 years.And for some in the UK, it was a race against time to find a pair of eye-protecting eclipse glasses as shortages grew.If you did manage to grab some, you might be asking – what do I do with them now?”Eclipse glasses are a great example of our single-use culture,” says Dr Renee Tonkin, the founder of Science Owl, an environmental education organisation focused on waste.”Particularly because they’re difficult to recycle due to their mixed materials.”According to Recycle…
Nigeria have appeared at all nine Women’s World Cups since the first was held in China in 1991.Missing out is unlikely to go down well in a country where football fans are used to their team dominating, with the Super Falcons having won Wafcon a record 10 times.But seeing off Desiree Ellis’ well-drilled Banyana team was never likely to be easy.While the first half in Casablanca was a non-event, the second period was anything but, with chances aplenty.Asisat Oshoala should have done better when she bundled her way through several challenges and poked goalwards from inside the six-yard box, failing…
