Kamala Harris officially conceded the election to Donald Trump in a speech to her devastated fans in Washington D.C. – after President Joe Biden called his new successor to congratulate him. Harris thanked her supporters and said her ‘heart is full of trust and love of our country’ and said she’s ‘so proud’ of the race she ran. ‘The outcome of this election is not want we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,’ she said, adding that America’s light won’t go out as long as ‘we never give up and we keep fighting.’

Workouts first thing in the morning or last thing at night could be most effective for staving off cancer, research suggests. Those who were more active at the start or end of the day had the lowest chances of developing bowel cancer, a study found. Experts say the findings suggest there are peak times for physical activity which could be used to design targeted cancer prevention strategies.

The light in Wolfy’s eyes went out and his warmth, softness and presence receded into the landscape of my memory. I would never kiss his fur again, feel his warmth, or his reassuring presence leaning firmly against my knee. My dearest companion was gone. I bent double and let out a long and primal scream. Someone handed me a glass. Our neighbourhood’s much-loved vet, Andrew Carmichael, was there holding a stiff whisky and also wiping away tears.

You will love many more dogs in your life.’

On the surface of it, Labour’s decision to break another promise and put up university tuition fees feels like a smack in the chops for educational aspiration: just like the mean-spirited, ideological and poorly thought-out decision to charge VAT on private school fees. In Opposition, this government – and in particular Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner – made grandiose pledges about ‘free education for all throughout your life’, no doubt mindful of appealing to voters aged 18-24 who, bless ’em, still fall for this socialist claptrap. To be rowing back so quickly on that vow is an embarrassment, even a betrayal. It doesn’t really matter that the fee increase, at least for the first year, is relatively modest at £285, up from £9,250.

A hair stylist who alleges she was raped by Conor McGregor and his friend feared the mixed martial arts star was going to kill her during the ordeal, the High Court was told yesterday.

She claims she was left extensively bruised and scratched following the assault, during which she claimed Mr McGregor held her in a ‘stranglehold’.
