Sir Keir Starmer has used his Easter message to urge Britons to “choose community over division” as he said he is working “across faiths and differences”. The Prime Minister has empathised with those struggling, adding that “hope can still take root even in difficult soil.”His message comes as King Charles has come under fire for not issuing an Easter message this year.Earlier today, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said: “Easter is a moment of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest times, renewal is possible.”The Prime Minister said: “Easter is a celebration of hope, new life and renewal. Across the…

Britain’s traditional working men’s clubs are fighting for their very survival, as they share the devastating impact of Rachel Reeves’ tax raids on the hospitality industry.Emerging in the mid-19th century as an alternative meeting space to pubs, these venues were primarily owned and managed by working-class men, enjoying a heyday in the post-war era.In the 1970s, around 4,500 UK-wide social hubs were members of the Club and Institute Union (CIU). Today, that figure has fallen to fewer than 1,000.Once a place to share a pint, have a dance and host celebrations such as birthdays, the overwhelming majority of working men’s…

In a busy opening period, neither side could really establish an early foothold on the game.Cliftonville went close midway through the half when Jonny Addis low free kick from just outside the penalty area brushed the outside of the side netting on its way past.As the Reds began to gain some form of dominance, Rory Hale’s inch-perfect through ball sent Brian Healy clear of the Dungannon rearguard but Danny Wallace recovered superbly to poke the ball behind for a corner at full stretch.Dungannon posed little threat to the Cliftonville goal in the opening 45 minutes with Gael Bigirimana’s long-range shot…

Imagine being sent out on a one-week emergency loan – and the only game you stand a chance of playing in is one of the biggest of the season, against your new club’s bitter rivals.Then imagine scoring your first Super League try, on debut, to put your side in front with three minutes left.Then you score another try moments later, with a driving run from the halfway line, to seal the win.And there is a reasonable chance you will never play for that club again.That is the reality for Bill Leyland, whose sensational late double earned St Helens a sensational…

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has delivered her message to Britons to mark Easter weekend, emphasising the celebration of “hope”.Mrs Badenoch said: “Easter is a moment of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest times, renewal is possible and that light can overcome darkness. “At the heart of the Christian faith is a story of redemption, of second chances, of perseverance, and of the belief that better days lie ahead in a world that can often feel uncertain, perhaps even bleak, with conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine and challenges at home. That message matters more than ever.”Across the…
