“Chemical cosh” prescriptions for dementia sufferers have surged by more than 50 per cent in care homes since the pandemic, major research shows. Medics have repeatedly been warned against prescribing antipsychotic drugs to the vulnerable, because they may have dangerous side effects. The tranquilisers are meant to be prescribed to schizophrenia patients to prevent hallucinations. But they have been dubbed the “chemical cosh” due to their sedative effects , when used on people with dementia to control agitation. Academics at the University of Exeter and King’s College London compared current prescribing with pre-coronavirus levels. They said the number of people with dementia receiving these prescriptions had soared from 18 per cent to 28 per cent since 2018 - an increase of 55 per cent.

THE odds are stacked against solo first-time buyers as house prices reach eye-watering highs. It's one of the main reasons why Zahraa Al-Afadi ditched plans to buy alone and bought a £426,000 flat in Brighton with her mum instead.

On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Department of Justice would ask the Florida judge who approved the search of the ex-president’s property to unseal the warrant and itemized receipt that Trump’s attorneys were given after the FBI finished searching his home and office. And as the clock struck midnight on Friday, Trump announced that he would not oppose the Justice Department’s motion to unseal the warrant.

JOSH DASILVA struck gold to cap an unlikely comeback and earn Brentford a priceless point. Leicester looked to be cruising to a comfortable win after a goal either side of the break from Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall gave them a deserved two-goal cushion. But when Ivan Toney struck just beyond the hour to hold off Daniel Amartey and lash the ball beyond Danny Ward to halve the deficit, Leicester wilted. And as Brentford suddenly realised the Foxes were there for the taking, Toney headed wide with the goal at his mercy. Then former Arsenal kid Dasilva stunned the King Power when he surged forward from midfield, and as the Foxes backed off, he curled home a stunning equaliser which left Ward gasping as he grasped at thin air. It wasn't the way Brendan Rodgers wanted to mark a major milestone in his career as he clocked up his 170th match in charge of the Foxes.
