A beautician who spent £2,200 on a nightmare laser hair removal treatment says the ordeal "stopped her feeling like a woman". Sannah Sohail, 31, visited an established clinic in 2018 but left bitterly disappointed with the results which she says left her looking like she had "hormonal issues". After eight of the costly treatments, Sannah found that not only was her hair "much longer" but that a cyst had developed beneath her skin. If anything the procedure made the hair thicker, Sannah said, and forced her to stop wearing leggings or tight clothing in case it inflamed the area of skin in question. Sannah, who lives in Liverpool city centre, told the Liverpool Echo : "I got a cyst, they offered me to see a doctor who confirmed that it was a cyst. "They told me I'd need to see a private doctor to remove it and promised me to provide it - the cyst removal was never provided." Sannah also claims she wasn't offered after proper care advice to protect her skin effectively … [Read more...] about Beautician ‘stopped feeling like a woman’ after botched £2k hair removal treatment

Please don’t call 999 because KFC ran out of chicken – get angry about all this stuff instead
If someone denied me the chance to ingest a KFC bargain bucket with chicken supplied from Thailand, via aeroplane, shipped to a warehouse without a cold storage licence and left in a queue of overheating lorries for hours I'd thank them profusely. I'd feel outrage for the conditions the chicken had endured both alive and dead, outrage at the corporate stupidity that couldn't switch delivery firms more efficiently, and outrage at myself for being so keen on the idea because the only times I've ever attended a KFC 'restaurant' were 24 hours after being dumped, filled with self-loathing and wearing tear-stained pyjamas. Halfway through the bucket you start to realise that you don't hate life that much. Two-thirds into it you start to feel you can do better than this. And when you notice the smell of cooking oil has penetrated your hair fibres you decide it's time for a wash and a healthier outlook. There are some, though, who regard KFC as a reasonable and regular meal. Heaven … [Read more...] about Please don’t call 999 because KFC ran out of chicken – get angry about all this stuff instead
Nicola Sturgeon must quit if just half of the claims against her are true, says top Tory
NICOLA Sturgeon must quit if just half of the claims against her are true, a top Tory has said. The Scottish First Minister’s position will be untenable if accusations by predecessor Alex Salmond are proven, according to Tory MSP Murdo Fraser. He told the BBC: “I’ve been a member of the Scottish Parliament for almost 20 years and this was the most extraordinary event I can recall. “If even half of what he alleged turns out to be true — and we will get to the bottom of this very soon — then Nicola Sturgeon ’s position is untenable and she will have to resign.” Mr Salmond says she misled Parliament and breached the ministerial code over harassment claims against him. He also accused her husband, SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, of a plot to drum up police complaints against him to get him jailed.

Keir Starmer to draw Budget battle lines with Tories over coronavirus recovery
Keir Starmer will vow to rebuild Britain through “opportunity, prosperity and security” in a major pre-Budget speech tomorrow. The Labour leader, who in recent weeks has faced the first serious grumblings against his premiership, will outline how his party would revive the UK in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Speaking less than two weeks before Chancellor Rishi Sunak reveals the Government's tax and spending plans, Mr Starmer will draw battle lines with the Tories about the country's recovery from the crisis. He is expected to blame a “failed Conservative ideology” for leaving the nation more exposed and less resilient when Covid-19 reached our shores. Insisting there must be “no return to business as usual”, he will claim Tory policies “weakened the foundations of society”, “failed the British people” and “proved incapable of providing security for the long-term.” Mr Starmer is under mounting pressure from restless backbenchers and party members loyal to his … [Read more...] about Keir Starmer to draw Budget battle lines with Tories over coronavirus recovery
Covid vaccine news UK – 32 MILLION tests being sent to kids on Monday as figures show single jab ’90 per cent effective’
CHILDREN will be tested with lateral flow tests twice a week - with 32 million test kits being sent out. And just one single dose of a Pfizer/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine can give 90 per cent protection from the disease, as new figures show jabs are slashing hospitalisations. Meanwhile Boris Johnson this weekend pledged to get Britain's workers back to their offices "soon" as the UK officially passed 19 MILLION first doses today. Speaking at a rail industry conference, the PM dismissed the idea that the lockdown would lead to a permanent shift towards Brits working from home. And former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said: “We need to get people back to work as soon as possible. “There are lots of reasons why work is important to our lives. It affects people’s physical and mental wellbeing and there are issues around productivity. Follow our live blog below for the very latest on the UK 's path out of lockdown ...
