Harinder Butoy, the man believed to have served the longest prison sentence of any sub-postmaster wrongly convicted in the Post Office Horizon scandal, gave a powerful interview on BBC Breakfast this morning, describing how the ordeal “destroyed” his life.
Butoy, who spent over five years in prison after being falsely accused of theft and false accounting, said he lost his home, his family, and his mental health as a result of the wrongful conviction. “I was treated like a criminal, but I was just doing my job,” he told the programme. “I lost everything.”

Carlos Alcaraz conjured a moment of Centre Court sorcery on Sunday, battling past Andrey Rublev in a four-set thriller and unleashing a forehand winner so audacious it was dubbed “impossible” by stunned spectators.
With the third set delicately poised and Rublev pounding from the baseline, Alcaraz, at full stretch, flicked a crosscourt forehand that zipped past Rublev and left the crowd roaring and Rublev rooted in disbelief.
“I just ran and swung — it felt like instinct, not tennis,” Alcaraz said with a grin. “That point? I’ve no idea how it happened.”
The defending champion prevailed 6–7(5),......

Marcus Fakana, 19, from Tottenham, North London, has been released from prison in Dubai after receiving a royal pardon. Fakana had been sentenced to one year in jail for having a relationship with a 17-year-old girl—an offence under UAE law, despite being legal in the UK.
He was arrested in August 2024 while on holiday with his family, after the girl’s mother reported the relationship to Dubai authorities. Fakana’s case drew widespread attention and criticism, with campaigners warning of the risks British nationals face under the UAE’s strict morality laws.

For many of us growing up in the early 2000s, Charmed wasn’t just another television show — it was a magical sanctuary, a place of wonder, empowerment, and deep emotional stories. Among the witches and warlocks, there was one character who stood apart — the half-demon, half-human Belthazor, better known as Cole Turner. And it was Julian McMahon who breathed life into him, in a way none of us would ever forget.
News of Julian’s passing strikes at the heart of a generation. He was more than just an actor — he was a symbol of complexity, vulnerability, and the eternal hope for redemption. As Belthazor, Julian gave us a character......

As Labour marks one year in power, the promises of transformation lie in ruins—Windrush victims remain uncompensated, welfare reforms are gutted, and MPs are walking away. Is this the leadership Britain voted for?
When Sir Keir Starmer swept into Downing Street one year ago, he promised a new era of “integrity, transparency, and accountability.” Twelve months on, that promise lies in tatters. From the festering Windrush compensation scandal to a string of policy reversals, internal rebellions, and a growing disconnect from the public, Labour’s first year in power has been marked less by transformation than by......
