A dad who had his right arm amputated five years after cutting it while fixing his car engine is fundraising for a prosthetic limb. Stephen Rae, 40, lost his limb on 25 May this year, after battling sepsis when he grazed three knuckles as he worked beneath the bonnet of his car in April 2017. Tasks such as dressing himself have become impossible and Stephen said he feels infantilised by the disability – but is still able to play Call of Duty with one hand and says it keeps him going. He has launched a fundraiser and hopes to raise £35,000 to buy a high-quality prosthetic with motor skills in the fingers, and so far, £1,415 has been raised. Dad-of-five Stephen, from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, described his infection as a ‘one in 1,000 chance’. He said: ‘They don’t know how I managed to walk into A&E with infection levels that high. ‘I was given the choice of having my right arm removed above the elbow. ‘If I went into hospital and didn’t come back, it … [Read more...] about Dad, 40, who cut himself on car engine has arm amputated after five-year sepsis fight

An incredible fans’ view of Zhou Guanyu’s horrifying British Grand Prix smash has emerged on social media. The Chinese driver was involved in one of the most spectacular shunts in recent F1 history at Silverstone. Following a rapid getaway, Zhou was tagged by the slow-starting Mercedes of George Russell and immediately flipped upside-down.

T he pound is facing an “existential crisis” and is likely to weaken further during this year, one of Wall Street’s top banks has warned. Bank of America says sterling “finds itself in an increasingly invidious position” for reasons including “increasingly challenging” Bank of England communication. Kamal Sharma, a London-based foreign exchange strategist for the lender, said the outlook for the pound was “grim”. The warnings came as the price of oil breached $120 (£95) a barrel on Monday, hitting a two-month high amid tightness in the market and concern over supplies. Oil prices have risen amid tight supply driven by the fallout from Russia’s war in Ukraine, as well as increased demand as more economies return from Covid-related restrictions. China announced easing of its restrictions, while the European Union worked on a plan to ban imports of Russian crude. The pound has fallen about 6.6pc this year in dollar terms, leaving it as one of the worst performers among the … [Read more...] about Pound faces ‘existential crisis’, Bank of America warns
