@RobertJenrick Reporting restrictions lifted. 15 men jailed for raping a girl as young as 14 in Bradford. Jameel Ahmed committed 4 rapes, yet could leave prison in a little over 5 years. Sentences for rape gang perpetrators are routinely pathetically short. Britain is broken.

Mole people? Crocodile catchers? Mario brothers? A series of bizarre sightings of people popping in and out of New York City’s vast subterranean sewer system has the city wondering what exactly is going on, with police now probing the underground mystery. Some wore headlamps and carried what appeared to be shovels and other tools. One narrowly missed getting run over by a vehicle as they pulled themselves out of the ground. “They look like they were looking for something important, like money, or for doing some type of hurting,” he said. “Ain’t no fun and games. I mean, seven grown...

NEW YORK, NY — After the firing of longtime contributor Scott Pelley due to ongoing conflicts with producers, the long-running CBS News program 60 Minutes began its search for a new pompous blowhard. Pelley's abrupt departure reportedly left the show shorthanded, leading producers and CBS executives to launch an immediate search to fill the void of an arrogant, disingenuous windbag the show needed to maintain its brand. "The show wouldn't be the same without at least one arrogant windbag," said Executive Producer Nick Bilton. "Now that we've parted ways with Scott, it's important for us to fill his role as...

The march, held under the slogan “Demanding Change,” will depart from Sacher Park and continue toward the Rose Garden, passing near the Supreme Court and Knesset area.

The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025. It hailed from writer, executive producer, and showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on 'Stargate SG-1' and 'Stargate: Atlantis' early in his career. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero's take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's already dedicated fanbase. Still seeking that elusive mOdErn aUdiEnce! Instead, Amazon is thinking of handing the series to "someone who does not have history with it and would give it a fresh new perspective."

Rosie O'Donnell is opening up about her facelift journey and shared a before-and-after photo of her transformation.(snip) In an essay titled "decisions," which is formatted like a song or poem, the 64-year-old talked about why she decided to get a facelift and the internal conflict she faced afterwards over whether to publicly disclose why she went through with the procedure. "I used to feel very strongly about facelifts," she began. "Not casually -- morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never -- ever." She went on, "I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of...

In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired “for cause effective immediately.” “[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt,” Bilton wrote, referring to Monday’s heated face-off...

Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Adelita Grijalva of Arizona to advocate for Ansari’s bill, the “Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act.” The bill would force employers to let women take paid leave for “reproductive health conditions.” Ansari kicked things off: “Today, we are here to talk about women’s pain and how long it’s been overlooked … In the summer of 2015, while starting my career in New York City, I...

Seas the day. Plans are being put forward to create the world’s first-ever “floating city,” which would be powered by nuclear energy and have a capacity of 80,000 – dwarfing the finest cruise ships in the world. Visions of the so-called Freedom Ship have existed since the 1990s, but they have been brought back to life once again – this time under Freedom Cruise Line CEO Roger Gooch, who told the Telegraph, “We feel very confident that we can put this together, but capitalization is key.” Should it come to reality, the megaship would dwarf anything produced by the likes...

@RupertLowe10 Enough is enough - a deep line needs to be drawn in the sand. Talk is weak. Britain needs to say no more, and mean it. A Restore Britain Government, with the British people's approval, would put Vickrum Digwa to death. Henry Nowak was stabbed by Digwa five times, including twice in the back of his legs, once in the face and a fatal wound to the chest. Rather than calling an ambulance, Digwa filmed Henry. Digwa gave the knife to his mother and it was found by police at their home along with more than 20 other weapons....

Kick your pride up a notch and pass these comforting verses on to the gays in your life: 1. Genesis 19:24-25: "Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
