Craig Allinson is tackling a grueling 240-mile cycling challenge for The Archie Foundation, adding 150 miles from home to honor his premature twins born in 2010. His ride, part of the Coast 2 Coast event, aims to raise $1,000 to support families in northern Scotland facing similar hospital struggles. Having endured weeks in the hospital with his tiny twins, Craig knows firsthand how vital the foundation’s services are—and how much a quiet meal or rest spot can mean. Training hard for 11 hours a day, he’s not just cycling for charity—he’s cycling for memory, healing, and hope. Even the foundation’s CEO jokes she’ll take the bus, but she’s proud Craig’s story embodies the mission: giving parents strength when they need it most.

A 14-year-old girl at Hazlehead Academy admitted to attacking a 12-year-old with a knife, causing life-threatening injuries and requiring plastic surgery. Though the assault was brutal, the court opted for the children’s hearing system over adult justice, citing the offender’s age and guilty plea. The victim’s father praised the confession but stressed schools must be safe havens, while the attacker’s defense cited autism as a factor. Authorities are supporting the school community as they heal from this devastating incident.

BP is eyeing a potential £2 billion sale of its UK offshore assets, possibly as part of a broader £20 billion fundraising goal by 2027, amid mounting pressure from the UK’s punitive 78% oil and gas tax. Talks with Ithaca Energy—already aligned through shared interests in the Vorlich field—fell through, but BP remains open to deals. The move follows a turbulent few months for BP, including its chairman’s exit and a profit surge tied to Middle East tensions. Industry leaders had recently pushed for a new tax regime to replace the Energy Profits Levy, promising billions in investment and oil output—but the government backed off when oil prices spiked, sparking outrage over lost economic opportunity.
