Vauxhall plant future in the balance as government guarantee sought
The fate of the Vauxhall plant at Ellesmere Port remains in doubt after its parent company confirmed it would not invest in building a new model at the site without guaranteed support from the government. The Stellantis group, which owns Vauxhall, is currently considering whether to commit to building a new electric vehicle at the factory in Cheshire. In January, chief executive Carlos Tavares described Boris Johnson's commitment to ban new internal combustion engine vehicles from 2030 as "brutal", and said it could destroy the plant's business model. Stellantis says it expects to reach a "binding agreement" with the government, but if it cannot secure government incentives for an electric model, as well as guarantees over the post-Brexit complexities of trading batteries, it is understood it could close Ellesmere Port when production of the current petrol and diesel Astra ends this year. Ministers have been in talks with the car group since the turn of the year, with … [Read more...] about Vauxhall plant future in the balance as government guarantee sought
COVID-19: No exams and teacher-assessed grades ‘as good a compromise as we can come to’, says Boris Johnson
Allowing teachers to award grades to pupils this summer is "as good a compromise as we can come to" following the cancellation of formal exams, Boris Johnson has said. The prime minister described this year's system for awarding A-level and GCSE grades in England - as well as some vocational and technical qualifications - as "durable" and the "right way forward". Live COVID updates from the UK and around the world With the government aiming to avoid a repeat of last year's grades scandal - which saw a moderating algorithm ditched after widespread complaints it unfairly downgraded pupils' grades - teachers have been told to base students' grades on a range of evidence. This includes mock exams, coursework, essays and in-class tests. Advertisement Schools will also have the option of using assessment questions provided by exam boards to help decide what grades to award, although the assessments are not expected to take place under exam … [Read more...] about COVID-19: No exams and teacher-assessed grades ‘as good a compromise as we can come to’, says Boris Johnson
Baarack the sheep loses 35kg of fleece in much-needed trip to the barbers
Lockdown has been tough for all of our hairstyles but one plucky sheep has been given his first trim in what could have been many many years. The wild and struggling animal was found in a forest in Australia with a fleece that was so overgrown he could barely see. When it was fully removed his fleece weighed more than 35kg (77lbs). The sheep, which has been named Baarack, was found by a member of the public who contacted the Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary near Lancefield, Victoria, about 37 miles (60km) north of Melbourne. "It would appear Baarack was once an owned sheep," said the Mission's Kyle Behrend.

Married At First Sight Australia’s Bronson says three brides are still seeing psychiatrists two years on
MARRIED At First Sight Australia's Bronson Norrish has revealed that three brides are still seeing psychiatrists two years later and has slammed the show experts. The Aussie star also has slammed the show for matching him with the "most hated bride ever" Ines Basic. The former stripper's short-lived 'marriage' was one of the most volatile relationships on series six of the Aussie show, with Ines showing little interest in him from the off. Bronson claimed the show had a lasting impact on some of his co-stars, with at least three still seeing psychiatrists. Speaking to TalkRadio's Cristo Foufas, millionaire Bronson gave a scathing assessment of the reality programme. He continued: "I know three of the girls from my season actually went to a mental ward and had to talk to a psychiatrist years after going on the show because it just doesn't stop. You do your filming and you think that's it but then the public get behind it. "I do believe TV shows prey on vulnerable … [Read more...] about Married At First Sight Australia’s Bronson says three brides are still seeing psychiatrists two years on
