<\/p>\nReform\u2019s civil war over plans to plough \u00a3190m of public money into reopening a \u201cRed Wall\u201d airport has resulted in death threats, resignations, and the risk of a council going bankrupt \u2013 ahead of a key meeting next week over the project\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
Doncaster Sheffield airport (DSA) closed in 2022 after landowner Peel Group determined it was no longer commercially viable.<\/p>\n
Labour leaders have backed a plan to reopen it using taxpayer cash despite warnings from experts the airport may not be financially viable. They include the veteran mayor of Doncaster City Council, Ros Jones, and the Mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard.<\/p>\n
Now, Reform UK councillors are threatening to \u201ckill off\u201d the project by rescinding their approval of a \u00a357m loan needed to get the airport open by 2028.<\/p>\n

How climate change could put tea drinkers in hot water<\/p>\n
The familiar taste of tea may turn bitter as climate change disrupts harvests and makes it harder to achieve consistent flavours, campaigners have warned. A Christian Aid report also warns that a warming world could cause the price of a cuppa to spike.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs\u00a0climate\u00a0variability increases, achieving that consistency becomes more challenging, Dr Neha Mittal from the Met Office said.<\/p>\n
What does the report say?<\/p>\n
Rising temperatures and worsening weather extremes in countries such as Kenya, India and Sri Lanka could make\u00a0tea\u00a0more\u00a0bitter\u00a0and harsher, researchers say.<\/p>\n
The issue is also hitting close to home, with tea\u00a0growers in the UK warning that it is making it much harder\u00a0to\u00a0achieve consistent flavours .<\/p>\n
Climate-induced disruptions to\u00a0harvests could\u00a0cause price spikes and unreliable supplies .<\/p>\n
The rising price of fertiliser and fuel as a result of the US-Iran war is\u00a0also expected to hit tea producers.<\/p>\n
\t ENVIRONMENT<\/p>\n 3 min read<\/p>\n \nSupporting farmers\n<\/p>\n Tea production relies on stable temperature and rainfall conditions, which are shifting in producer nations. Optimal growth conditions sit within a narrow range of between 13\u00b0C and 30\u00b0C and with adequate but not excessive rainfall.<\/p>\n The flavour and quality of tea depends on a balance of compounds such as catechins, amino acids and polyphenols, the report said. However, higher temperatures increase the production of more astringent compounds while reducing sweetness \u2013 leading to a more bitter taste.<\/p>\n The expert view<\/p>\n For\u00a0generations, consumers have taken\u00a0for\u00a0granted that\u00a0a\u00a0cup of\u00a0tea\u00a0will\u00a0taste\u00a0the same, day in, day out. But that consistency depends on\u00a0a\u00a0stable\u00a0climate, and that stability is now breaking down. What we are seeing is the beginning of\u00a0a\u00a0shift towards\u00a0a\u00a0harsher brew<\/p>\n Claire Nasike Akello,\u00a0climate\u00a0adaptation and resilience lead at Christian Aid<\/p>\n NEWS<\/p>\n Who won big at the Bafta TV Awards 2026<\/p>\n The winners of this year\u2019s Bafta Television Awards have been announced in London, with Netflix drama Adolescence emerging as the big winner.<\/p>\n The hard-hitting four-part series was named best limited series.

If you hang things up rather than tossing them onto the \u2018bedroom chair\u2019 it\u2019s another one-touch win.<\/p>\n Talk to yourself out loud<\/p>\n This verbal\u00a0anchor helps you remember what you have decided to do and cuts down on mental drift.<\/p>\n The 300-second challenge<\/p>\n Give yourself five minutes to deal with one overdue chore or task.<\/p>\n Using seconds rather than minutes creates urgency and gives your brain a novelty hit.<\/p>\n Try it when putting the laundry away, making a phone call or reading\u00a0an overdue email. <\/p>\n \t LIFESTYLE<\/p>\n 9 min read<\/p>\n \nMake it easier for yourself\n<\/p>\n Use completion cues<\/p>\n Drop a marble in a jar or move a\u00a0sticky note across a board each time you complete a task.<\/p>\n Support your future<\/p>\n Write down where you left off and the next small task to tackle to strengthen\u00a0your control over every day demands.<\/p>\n Ask for help<\/p>\n Consider seeking support from loved ones, neighbours, colleagues, community groups or professionals.<\/p>\n Eight tips for Ree Young, works for Mind mental health charity as a \u2018befriender\u2019 \u2013 this means working with people aged 50 and over in the city of Leeds \u2013 who may be struggling with social isolation or loneliness. <\/p>\n Young advises these people on how to get social, even when you don\u2019t want to. Here are her tips.<\/p>\n \nHow to combat loneliness\n<\/p>\n Social isolation affects us all<\/p>\n 27%<\/p>\n of adults reported they felt lonely always, often or some of the time in data published by the Office for National Statistics in 2024.<\/p>\n 7%<\/p>\n reported that they felt lonely always or often. <\/p>\n \nHow to combat loneliness\n<\/p>\n Stay socially active<\/p>\n Check out what\u2019s going on at your local community centre or learn something new to make connections.<\/p>\n Use technology<\/p>\n Look up old friends online, or use video-call features to connect with those who don\u2019t live nearby. <\/p>\n Get creative<\/p>\n Why not learn how to crochet, write short stories, plant a herb garden or\u00a0play the ukulele in a group?\u00a0<\/p>\n Adopt a pet<\/p>\n They can provide companionship, a listening ear and a structured routine. They can be good listeners and stroking them can make us feel calmer and more at ease. Even the smallest pets, like fish, can bring us joy and a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n REE YOUNG, BEFRIENDER<\/p>\n \nHow to tackle loneliness\n<\/p>\n Join a death cafe<\/p>\n They are safe and inclusive spaces for people to be curious about death in a supportive environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n Try citizen science<\/p>\n It\u2019s a great way to feel part of a community, while also contributing to worthwhile initiatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n Explore your faith<\/p>\n Try attending services if spiritual practices are important to you. They can offer strong support networks and open doors to new people.<\/p>\n Seek professional help<\/p>\n If you are unsure what support is available, speak to your GP. Research local charities and find out what services they have to offer, and try accessing local befriending, group or peer-support services.<\/p>\n There is nothing shameful about asking for help.<\/p>\n The six reasons your partner might cheat<\/p>\n Cheating is still the number one cause of divorce, and one in five Brits admit to doing it. <\/p>\n But what are the main drivers of infidelity?<\/p>\n \nWhy your partner might cheat\n<\/p>\n They want a way out<\/p>\n Sex and relationship therapist Cate Campbell says exit affairs are one of the three \u201cbig reasons\u201d she sees.<\/p>\n Fear of commitment<\/p>\n This often happens when a person doesn\u2019t feel good about themselves, or have a fear of being found out.<\/p>\n A mid-life crisis<\/p>\n Transitions like moving house, new jobs or becoming parents makes cheating more common.<\/p>\n \nWhy your partner might cheat\n<\/p>\n They\u2019re getting too close to a colleague<\/p>\n This dynamic is usually an unhappy man who confides in a woman in a work context, and it switches from a supportive friendship into an affair.<\/p>\n They want something new in bed<\/p>\n Desires change \u2013 consiously or not and people may believe they want something different, or to experiment.<\/p>\n WHY YOUR PARTNER MAY CHEAT<\/p>\n They feel lonely<\/p>\n Nobody stays the same in a relationship \u2013 and if we\u2019re not\u00a0communicating that to each other, it can be disconnecting.<\/p>\n Susie Masterson, a relationship therapist, says when people feel undervalued, or stretched too thin in day-to-day life, they can look at their relationship and realise it isn\u2019t filling the gaps.<\/p>\n \nHow to recover from an affair\n<\/p>\n Infidelity doesn\u2019t have to be the end of a relationship<\/p>\n Psychotherapist Esther Perel says in her book\u00a0The State of Affairs that affairs can actually save a relationship, by forcing us to address deep-rooted issues and come back stronger.<\/p>\n Campbell says couples should be having conversations about infidelity and what it means to them.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cOften it\u2019s not the affair that ends the relationship, but the fallout \u2013 and the way it\u2019s managed. Which is why it\u2019s useful to get some therapy if you can,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n Think you know all the signs of heart problems? Some might be myths rather than fact\u2026<\/p>\n These are the beliefs to be wary of, according to Dr Abdul Mozid, a consultant cardiologist at Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital.<\/p>\n \u2018Getting out of breath is just a sign of getting older\u2019<\/p>\n While ageing can contribute, breathlessness is also a common early warning sign of heart disease.<\/p>\n When the heart cannot pump efficiently, fluid can build up in the lungs, making simple activities difficult.<\/p>\n If it occurs while laying down, or while doing minimal activity, it should never be ignored.<\/p>\n \t LIFESTYLE<\/p>\n 4 min read<\/p>\n \u2018Sleep has little effect on the heart\u2019<\/p>\n Poor or fragmented sleep increases stress hormone levels, raises blood pressure, disrupts glucose metabolism and promotes inflammation \u2014 all of which contribute to cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n Good-quality sleep is not a luxury; it is a pillar of cardiovascular health alongside diet and exercise.<\/p>\n \n\u2018Exercise gives you a healthy heart\u2019\n<\/p>\n You can \u2018out-exercise\u2019 metabolic stress<\/p>\n This is not true. A poor diet high in saturated fats, refined sugars and salt promotes high cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension, regardless of your activity levels.<\/p>\n \t Analysis<\/p>\n 3 min read<\/p>\n \nOther heart health myths to ignore\n<\/p>\n Only \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol matters<\/p>\n While HDL cholesterol may be associated with lower\u00a0risk in some contexts, it does not provide total immunity to heart problems.\u00a0Managing LDL levels remains crucial as part of your overall health.<\/p>\n It\u2019s just anxiety \u2018Heart disease is an older person problem\u2019<\/p>\n Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in women, yet risk is often underestimated. Symptoms may be subtle and attributed to life stage or stress.<\/p>\n Recognising these unique risk enhancers is vital to earlier diagnosis and prevention.<\/p>\n Fridge or cupboard? <\/p>\n This is your definitive guide on where and how to store your foods at home to maximise the quality and shelf life, from ketchup and butter to nuts and jam.<\/p>\n Where to store the basics<\/p>\n Keeping butter in the\u00a0fridge maximises\u00a0food safety\u00a0and freshness.<\/p>\n Ketchup and mayonnaise can be stored in the cupboard but once opened, are best in the fridge.<\/p>\n Bread shouldn\u2019t be refridgerated due to the starch molecules. A bread bin at room temparture, or an airtight container is best.<\/p>\n

Caption: Richard Loynes, with the leaning church of Dry Doddington, Nottinghamshire, also known as St James Church. April 14, 2026. \/\/ England\u2019s wonkiest church which has a spire which leans more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa is in vital need of ??100,000 repairs to save its future \u2013 but have refused to correct the angle of its famous tower. The spire of St James\u2019 Church in the countryside village of Dry Doddington, Lincs., tilts at 5.1 degrees compared to the 3.99 degrees of its Italian counterpart over 1,000 miles away. Villagers consider the Grade II-listed building \u201cBritain\u2019s answer to The Leaning Tower of Pisa\u201d but there are now concerns for its future as it is need of essential repairs. Tourists often travel to snap photos next to the historic tilting place of worship, which has now launched a fundraiser to raise another ??100,000 11 years after it underwent ??100,000 of renovation work to save its tower. The 12th century church was built originally as a ???Chapel of Ease??? for older residents to attend church rather than walking to a neighbouring village. The tower, dating from the 14th century, is believed to have first shifted in the late 19th century and was underpinned in 1918 to prevent it from tilting any further. Church warden Richard Loynes said: \u201cThe church is very much part of the village and we\u2019re proud of its uniqueness.??? Photo released 15\/04\/2026
