King Charles sends letter confirming Harry and Meghan are not returning
King Charles has sent a formal letter to over one hundred senior royal, government and military officials, confirming Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not returning to royal duties and must be treated as private citizens.

Danny Tommo leads anti-migrant protest in Dover
Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, led hundreds of men in balaclavas and black outfits at an anti-migrant protest in Dover. Although he presents himself as a champion of working-class tradesmen, Thomas attended a private school in Hampshire and comes from a middle-class background. He has a criminal conviction for kidnapping and served time in prison.
Miriam Margolyes responds to backlash after Andi Peters remarks
Miriam Margolyes addressed criticism after using an offensive term to describe ITV presenter Andi Peters’ skin colour during an appearance on This Morning. ITV bosses cut the moment from the streaming version, but it quickly spread online and drew widespread outrage. Margolyes later told a TikTok audience at a book event that she never meant to embarrass or hurt Andi Peters. The incident has sparked debate about language and responsibility on live television.
Hedge fund billionaire Chris Rokos leaves UK after £330million tax bill
Chris Rokos, founder of Rokos Capital Management, has left Britain for Greece after paying £330million in tax last year. Rokos was ranked as the UK’s third biggest taxpayer. His departure follows Labour’s moves to increase taxes on high earners and target non-doms, inheritance and luxury properties.

Manchester Airport’s Terminal 3 has been ranked the worst in the UK this year, scoring just above half marks in the Which? consumer survey. Travellers reported two-hour check-in queues, broken machines and a lack of seating. Food and drink options saw twenty-minute waits, and cleanliness was rated only two stars out of five. The airport’s poor performance has made it a focus for complaints from passengers across the country.
