Radford billionaire family

The family of a woman who has been missing for four days have joined the search to find her. Photos show dozens of London Search and Rescue members assisting police in combing Clapham Common, with Sarah Everard having not been heard from since Wednesday night. The 33-year-old marketing account manager had been visiting a friend in the area before heading back home to Brixton on foot, with her disappearance described as "out of character". Her family have now travelled over 200 miles from York to help out, confirmed Sarah's uncle Doug Everard, while her auntie Jane Everard admitted they are "devastated". Searchers were snapped yesterday in face masks as they trudged through grass looking for clues, with posters of the missing woman in the background. Others in boats with dogs scoured the park's two ponds. Jane told The Sun her niece has a large circle of friends in Durham from her time at university, as well as in the capital. "It has been a real shock. We are all so … [Read more...] about Missing Sarah Everard’s family travel 200 miles to help in desperate search

Labour will vote against the Tories' £8bn-a-year stealth raid on Income Tax this week, a Shadow Cabinet Minister revealed today. Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy said the party would try to block plans to freeze income tax thresholds until 2026. The challenge is unlikely to succeed as Boris Johnson has a working Commons majority of more than 80 seats. The move marks a swift U-turn days after Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds indicated the party would support the freeze. Ms Dodds said on Thursday that it would have been wrong for Rishi Sunak to impose the freeze "right now", but it will only kick in from April 2022. She added: "In the future, we're not going to oppose change to that personal allowance, the freezing of it that the Chancellor set out for the future. "Because actually what the Conservatives have done around this previously has benefited the best-off most. And they've not for example backed low income families with social security in the way they needed … [Read more...] about Budget 2021: Labour to vote against stealth Income Tax raid on families in U-turn

A devastated family watched their house go up in flames within a matter of minutes after narrowly escaping the blaze in their pyjamas. Christine Baarman, 38, and her two children Tyreece, 12, and Kacey, 19, lost all their belongings in the sudden inferno and have been left homeless. At 6.20am on Monday, neighbour Lesley Blair heard voices shouting: "Fire, fire" and looked out of the window to see plumes of smoke billowing from the family's roof. Within moments the whole house was alight and Leslie was unsure if her neighbours had made it out alive, she told EdinburghLive . The fire spread with such little warning that teenager Kacey didn't even have time to put shoes on before running outside. The family were left without a roof over their head for 10 hours and has since been moved into temporary accommodation more than 12 miles away from the remnants of their old home. Lesley, from the same area in West Lothian, Scotland, said: "It was 6:20am in the morning and I heard … [Read more...] about Devastated single mum left with nothing after family flee house fire in their pyjamas

The Queen has stressed the importance of staying in touch with family and friends during "testing times" in a message broadcast hours ahead of the Sussexes' Oprah interview. Senior royals including the Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined forces to appear in the special BBC One programme on Sunday to mark Commonwealth Day, as the bitter fallout from Megxit continued. The Queen's audio message celebrated collaboration, but stood in contrast to the troubles facing the royal family. Focusing on the global impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the monarch spoke of using technology that "transcends boundaries or division" and how there has been a "deeper appreciation" of the need to connect to others during the Covid-19 crisis. She also praised the "selfless dedication to duty" seen across the Commonwealth, particularly on the front line. Do you enjoy reading about the royal family?

It was an ordinary Wednesday morning when I woke up on 13 March, 1996. It was snowing and I shivered as I pulled on my red school uniform sweater. We’d moved to Scotland three years earlier – my mum, my stepdad and my 11-year-old brother Joe. I loved my school. I was a happy-go-lucky kid and very settled. Dunblane was a safe, close-knit community. Neighbours were friendly and Joe and I had the freedom to play in the park and walk to school by ourselves. After we’d waved Mum goodbye at home, we walked the short distance to school and Joe went off to his class, which was in a prefab structure on the site, and I went to mine, Primary Four, which was a classroom in the main building. The school had a large gym in the middle and a big field at the back. It was coming up to 9.30am and our class was walking through a corridor to the music room, called the “GP room”, to practise singing for a big assembly later that week. But something wasn’t right. I was standing next to my … [Read more...] about ‘I tried to take my life after Dunblane horror – but now I have my happy family’
