Runcorn’s Brookvale Primary School is on the brink of closure as the council eyes mergers or shutdowns due to surplus school places — but for parents, students, and staff, this isn’t just a numbers issue. Families marched in the rain to defend a school that’s been a community heartbeat for 53 years, with many saying it’s more than an institution — it’s home. Teachers are beloved, kids are thriving, and for some, relocating would mean losing jobs or forcing long walks. The council hasn’t finalized decisions, but the human cost is undeniable — and the community won’t back down.

John Bishop spills the tea on his latest mishap—breaking his ankle while riding a motorcycle with astronaut Tim Peake, who apparently has better bike skills than comedians. Despite hobbling through The One Show in a boot and canceling gigs across the U.S. and Canada, he’s sticking to medical advice. A new BBC show, Wisdom of the Crowd, taps into the quirky science behind crowd guessing games—where average guesses beat expert predictions. And yes, he’s been riding since inheriting a scooter from his late father-in-law.

Philip Foster, the ex-Brookside actor, has been arrested in Spain after being on a UK-wide wanted list for allegedly defrauding victims of £13 million. Found with fake IDs and €22,000, he now faces charges including document forgery and is set for extradition to the UK. His capture marks a major win in Operation Captura, which aims to bring nine other fugitives — linked to murder, drugs, and money laundering — to justice, many believed to be hiding in Spain. Authorities stress: no one is safe from the law, no matter where they run.

A tragic death that could have been prevented: Tanya McCartney, a 25-year-old mother, died just hours after being sent home from A&E with a high fever, shortness of breath, and sore throat — despite her symptoms pointing to something far more serious. The coroner ruled her death preventable, saying immediate IV antibiotics would have saved her. Her family is shattered, grappling with the disbelief of how such a swift decline happened. Chesterfield Royal Hospital has apologized and pledged systemic changes, including better monitoring for high-risk patients and new digital records — but no words can ease the pain. This case is a chilling wake-up call for healthcare systems everywhere: when lives hang in the balance, every decision matters.

A coroner is warning of a looming crisis as ADHD services face crippling delays, risking more lives if urgent action isn’t taken. The tragic death of Bethany Hewitt—waiting three years for an assessment and voicing suicidal thoughts just 19 days before her death—has exposed systemic failures: massive backlogs, understaffing, and chaotic, inconsistent national guidelines. With over 1,250 patients waiting in one region alone and referral rates soaring nationwide, the system is breaking under pressure. Despite efforts by her GP to expedite care, bureaucratic hurdles blocked help. The coroner’s stark message: without immediate reform, more preventable deaths are inevitable. The Department of Health has pledged a review, while NHS England and the GP practice vow to learn from this tragedy to overhaul patient safety and service delivery.

A man sentenced to 28 months in prison for sexually assaulting two sleeping women on a bus from London to Liverpool, exploiting their vulnerability while they were asleep—only stopping when they woke up—and continuing to stare at them. The judge called his actions predatory and terrifying, emphasizing his indifference to the victims’ suffering. Despite claiming the contact was accidental and being drunk at the time, Yogarajah failed to appear for trial and had a history of domestic abuse and safeguarding alerts. An asylum seeker appealing his immigration status, he admitted to assault and bail breach, will be placed on the sex offenders’ register for ten years, with the court citing aggravating factors including the confined space and his lack of remorse.
