They say never work with children and animals on TV and This Morning bosses learned that lesson today with their chaotic Nativity play. The ITV chat show put on a live play with children from a primary school in Wolverhampton and a bunch of animals - and obviously it didn't quite go to plan. Alison Hammond played the angelic narrator and forgot her words halfway through the play and the baby girl, Isabella, who was playing the baby Jesus, kept crying in her manger. Holly Willoughby was forced to step in and tickle the baby to try and cheer her up. There were also sound issues, which cut out much of Alison's narration. But it was the sassy camel who stole the show on Twitter as she demanded to be fed in the middle of the Christmas scene. Viewers took to Twitter to praise the chaotic performance. One tweeted a string of laughing emojis, saying: "Well done Alison. At least it's not live!" "How cute are these kids in the Nativity?" another posted. "Aww how adorable do them kids look," … [Read more...] about This Morning’s Nativity play in chaos as Holly Willoughby is forced to step in

Ex-John Lewis boss calls for online retailers to pay more tax
The former boss of John Lewis has said online retailers such as Amazon should pay more tax and that a solution for struggling town centres would be to turn them into “free trade zones”. Andy Street, who became the mayor of the West Midlands two years ago, said high-street retailers were being crippled by an outdated business rates regime in need of an overhaul. “This system is past its sell by date,” Street told MPs on the Treasury select committee. “It was designed in 1990 when businesses made money in a very different way.” The committee is investigating the impact of business rates, the commercial equivalent of council tax, and is considering alternatives to the property-based tax. Business rates raise about £30bn a year for the exchequer but are increasingly being blamed for exacerbating the decline of the high street after the recent revaluation hit retailers hard in parts of the country where property values had soared.
