The pain is still raw; the anger undiminished. Marlene Anderson breaks down in tears as she remembers watching Grenfell Tower burning, the white ash floating out of the sky and landing on her hair and clothes, while inside the building her father – although she wouldn’t officially know it for another two months – had perished in the blaze. Ray ‘Moses’ Bernard, an electrician, who had worked in the House of Lords and at Buckingham Palace, died of suffocation and cyanide poisoning killed by the acrid smoke. By the time his body was recovered, “his remains were no more than 30 per cent of who he was”. Moses, as everybody knew him, was found on the floor next to his bed, his dog, Marley, close by. On the bed were other victims who had sought refuge in the top floor flat as they tried to escape the flames. Among them was Jessica Urbano Ramirez, a 12-year-old girl, who had spent 55 minutes on the phone to 999 emergency operators begging to be rescued, and 12-year-old Biruk Haftom, whose … [Read more...] about Grenfell, five years on: ‘We know who the guilty are but they remain free’

At one stage in the Canadian GP it seemed as if Lewis Hamilton was about to pull back all of his 25-point deficit to Sebastian Vettel, as the Englishman was leading comfortably while the German was in the pits having a new front wing fitted to his Ferrari. In the end, however, though he dominated to win his sixth Canadian GP on the tenth anniversary of his maiden success here a decade ago, finishing ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo, Vettel was able to fight back to fourth place and limit the damage as he left Montreal still 12 points to the good.

ANTON FERDINAND has revealed how Roy Keane accused him of ‘having no balls’ as he recalled how the Irishman inspired Sunderland to a famous comeback win at Blackburn. The defender joined the Black Cats from West Ham in summer of 2008 when the tough-talking Manchester United legend was in charge. Ferdinand , 47, would not play under Keane for long as the North East club’s struggles led to the then-manager resigning that December. However, during their brief period together, the ex-defender says the now much-loved Sky Sports pundit’s no-nonsense and ruthless style had a major effect on him. And none more so than an afternoon away at Ewood Park on November 15th when Sunderland came from 1-0 down at the break to beat Blackburn 2-1 due to goals from Kenwyne Jones and Djibril Cisse. Speaking on the Broadtalks Podcast, Ferdinand said: “We went in 1-0 down and Kenwyne got outjumped just before half time.

Breakfast It could see a $1.8 billion increase in export revenue for Aotearoa each year. Jim Rose is an economist, and a research fellow with the Taxpayers’ Union. Even the best possible regional trade deal imaginable should be greeted with suspicion. Thoroughly inspect the baggage they carry; environment and labour chapters, stricter intellectual property rights, investor-state dispute settlement processes and revised government procurement rules such as for Pharmac. Start with a sceptical eye, says Nobel prize-winning trade theorist Paul Krugman . Indeed, the only time tariff cuts are suspect is when they are part of a regional trade agreement such as with the European Union , or recently with Britain . READ MORE: Wheta or feta-aaaaaah?

After years of waiting the DLC for Cuphead is finally here, with more rock hard enemy bosses and 1930s style cartoon surrealism. Now that Elden Ring has proven such a massive hit, it’s going to be interesting to see whether other publishers and developers consider the debate over unusually difficult games to be over. Predecessor Dark Souls started the argument and encouraged many games, both those similar in style and otherwise unrelated, to dare to be difficult. It was into this climate that Cuphead was released in 2017 and became another unexpected success, and now it’s finally got its long promised DLC. Apart from being really, really hard, Cuphead has no other similarities to Dark Souls, since it’s a 2D platform shooter inspired by old school arcade games like Contra and Metal Slug. That’s unusual enough in this day and age but it’s presented in the style of a 1930s cartoon, complete with ‘rubber hose’ style animation and creepy looking character designs. The end … [Read more...] about Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course review – animation hour

Boris Johnson’s move to extend tariffs on imported steel by two years — a probable breach of World Trade Organisation rules — was welcomed by protectionist MPs from both sides of the political aisle. Industry also predictably lauded the decision, saying it will be protected from artificially cheap imports. Much like fishing, steel carries with it a disproportionate amount of political focus compared to its size — in 2020 the £2bn it contributed to the economy was the equivalent of just 0.1pc of total economic output and 1.2pc of manufacturing. But as the industry likes to point out: everything is made of steel. The metal goes into cars, aircraft, new buildings and the machinery that forms almost everything else. Without it, steel insiders say the logic of having a manufacturing industry in the UK would be considerably weaker — a fact that will not be lost on the Prime Minister. The move was pegged as an effort to “protect the steel sector”, Trade Secretary Anne-Marie … [Read more...] about With the Tories in turmoil, steel helps Boris Johnson show his mettle
