OMG!! DISASTER? Public Fury Erupts After Reports Claim 170 Dangerous Suspects Can’t Be Removed From the UK

Dozens of ‘dangerous’ foreign nationals are being allowed to keep living in the UK as the Home Office cannot deport them due to human rights laws.

Some 170 people who pose a threat to public safety are currently being housed under restrictions across the country, government documents show.

And more than half of these individuals are reported to ‘have been involved in terrorism or extremism-related activities’.

It is understood that some of the restrictions imposed on the foreign nationals may include 24-hour surveillance and wearing an ankle monitor.

However, it is not clear exactly what measures are in force and on how many of the security threats who cannot be booted out.

Currently failed asylum seekers and foreign criminals are avoiding being deported back to their home countries after claiming a right to family life.

This right is set out under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, of which the UK remains a member.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has promised an overhaul of human rights laws and tighter controls on immigration.

However, there are calls for Labour to go further following the latest revelations that were published in a Government Equality Impact Assessment on the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.

The document reads: ‘Provisions for imposing conditions on immigration leave where a foreign national poses a threat to the public but cannot be removed from the UK may be more likely to affect certain age groups.

‘The conditions provided for by the measures will only be used in a very low number of cases involving conduct such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, extremism, serious crime or where the person poses a threat to national security or public safety.

‘At the time of this EIA, around 170 people are currently on restricted leave, with over half having been involved in terrorism or extremism related activities.’

A Home Office minister told the Sunday Express that it was ‘disgraceful’ that dangerous foreign nationals have been allowed to stay in the UK.

Border Security and Asylum minister Alex Norris said: ‘It is disgraceful that terrorists have been able to stay in the UK under previous rules. Our new laws will place strict restrictions on foreign nationals who pose a threat, tracking their every move.

‘These laws will also enable us to get terrorists rapidly deported from British soil and keep our country safe.’

But the revelations have reignited calls for human rights laws to be overhauled and for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: ‘Our broken borders are a national security emergency. We have to leave the ECHR and deport every single one of these terrorists and extremists.

‘This government is clueless as to how bad the problem is and how to fix it.’

Meanwhile, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage added that the Labour government is ‘filled to the brim with woke human rights lawyers’.

He said Sir Keir Starmer’s administration is ‘prioritising’ a court in Strasbourg over the British people.

It comes after it emerged this week that ministers don’t know how many illegal migrants are in Britain or the number using human rights law to avoid deportation.

The University of Oxford’s Migration Observatory flagged 10 major areas where information is lacking, including immigration enforcement and returns, and the size of the population living in the UK without papers.

The research also raised how it is difficult to understand how many immigration cases are affected by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which the Conservatives and Reform UK have vowed to leave.

Experts found there is little data to know who and how many people apply for and are granted permission to stay in the UK through the convention, or successfully appeal against their removal.

Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory, said: ‘The UK’s membership of ECHR is a major issue in public debate, in large part due to its impacts on migration policy.

‘But the current data can’t give us a clear picture of where and when it has most impact. This makes it harder for the public or policymakers to make an informed choice about an important decision with long-term repercussions for the UK.’

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, accused Labour of ‘hiding the very data the public need to understand what is happening to our borders’.

He said ministers were ‘refusing to publish key enforcement data and they avoid saying how many cases are affected by human rights law’ claiming that ministers were ‘keeping the country in the dark because the truth would expose how weak and incompetent their approach really is’.

The research comes as Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced a series of reforms that aim to cut the number of people coming to the country.

As part of the asylum proposals, ministers will seek to bring in legislation to prevent human rights laws being used to frustrate deportations and make it easier to remove people.

Elsewhere, the Government will also make refugee status temporary, and refugees will have to wait 20 years before being eligible to apply for permanent settlement, instead of five years currently.

Asylum seekers whose claims are denied will be limited to make one appeal against their removal, instead of having the ability to make multiple challenges on different grounds.

“HE NEVER SPOKE LIKE OTHER CHILDREN…”  Tom Read Wilson’s Mum Shares the Emotional Story Behind His Extraordinary Voice

Tom Read Wilson’s true character outside of I’m A Celebrity has been revealed by his childhood friend in a very lengthy post shared on Instagram on Thursday

Tom Read Wilson’s true character outside of I’m A Celebrity has been revealed in an emotional and deeply personal tribute from his childhood friend — offering fans a rare glimpse into the man behind the velvet voice.

A completely different side of Tom Read Wilson — one that viewers rarely see inside the jungle — has now been laid bare by someone who has known him for almost his entire life: his childhood friend of 34 years, Charlie Collins.

Tom’s pal of 34 years, Charlie Collins (pictured), has spoken about his compassionate nature and said he loves ot help others

The Celebs Go Dating favourite, now 39, entered the jungle as a late arrival alongside Vogue Williams and quickly became one of this year’s most talked-about contestants thanks to his velvety accent, theatrical charm and poetic vocabulary. But according to Charlie, the real Tom has always been far more than a witty performer on screen.

She explained that when Tom was not singing around the home, he was always on side to say yes to helping people day to day

In a long, emotional Instagram post shared on Thursday, Charlie painted a vivid picture of a man defined not by theatrics, but by tenderness, kindness and an instinctive desire to help others.

Charlie revealed she first met Tom when she was just four years old, after their mothers became close friends — and from that moment on, their lives became tightly woven together.

Tom was my first kiss,” she joked. “I still tease him that I might be the reason he never looked twice at girls ever again.”

She fondly remembered the early signs of his future on stage — from school plays where his voice soared above everyone else, to afternoons when he would shut himself in his bedroom practising scales while she and Tom’s sister, Miranda, played outside.

But beyond the sparkle and the sound of his voice, Charlie revealed it is the quiet acts of kindness that truly define him:

• He sings Christmas songs in tiny shops just to make the staff smile
• He reads stories at her sister’s school because “stories matter”
• He writes wedding poems so funny and moving they leave entire rooms in tears
• He takes his mum and Charlie’s mum out for champagne lunches simply to bring them joy

“Tom makes everyone feel like they’re the only person in the room,” she wrote. “He is the warm, glowing centre that holds everything — and everyone — together.”

She also opened up about how deeply devoted Tom is to his family, especially to his mother, Juliette, and how effortlessly he brings warmth into every space he enters.

For Charlie, watching Tom soothe his campmates in the jungle and charm millions of viewers at home feels like watching “the purest parts of childhood shine through an adult body.”

Her tribute ended with one simple but powerful declaration:
“Tom for the win.”

Tom’s presence in the jungle has already fascinated viewers, many of whom questioned whether his refined voice was an affectation. But he has repeatedly proven that his eloquence is entirely real — the lifelong influence of his father, an English teacher who turned words into stories.

When campmate Aitch asked about his extraordinary vocabulary, Tom explained:
“My wonderful dad gave me the love of language. I’m not a poet, but I love the lyricism of it all.”

What Tom has spoken about less publicly is the more complex chapter of his family story — including how his parents first met.

On 8 Out of 10 Cats in 2024, Tom revealed that his father, Crispin Read Wilson, was a teacher at the school where his mother, Juliette, was a pupil.
“She was 18, coming of age,” Tom said at the time, noting their 16-year age gap. “I never really thought about it.”

His parents later separated, and his father remarried — but Tom has remained close to both of them.

“My mum is a French teacher with a fiery, mischievous spirit,” he once said. “And I adore her.”

Earlier this week, Juliette herself spoke affectionately about her son’s distinctive voice as she arrived in Australia to support him.
“He was born with a dictionary in his mouth,” she joked. “Sometimes I don’t even understand what he’s saying! But he’s always been that way.”

As viewers fall deeper in love with Tom’s charm, Charlie’s emotional tribute has given them something even more powerful — a window into the gentle soul beneath the sparkle.

Fans say the message has completely changed the way they see this season’s breakout star — proving that Tom isn’t simply a character created for television, but very much the true heart of this year’s series.

 ROYAL SURPRISE: Claudia Winkleman ‘Speechless’ After King Charles Personally Presents Her MBE

Claudia Winkleman has admitted she’s been left speechless as she received her MBE from King Charles during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.

The beloved Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors presenter was recognised in the king’s Birthday Honours for her contributions to broadcasting.

Claudia is set to leave Strictly after this year’s series alongside her co-host Tess Daly. Tess herself received an MBE last month.

The duo have hosted the BBC show together since 2014. Tess originally joined the show in 2004.

Claudia was joined at the ceremony by her family, including her husband Kris Thykier, mother Eve Pollard, and father Barry Winkleman.

In photos shared by HELLO!, she posed proudly on the castle grounds in a sophisticated ivory suit and matching headband.

Sharing a photo from the day on Instagram, Claudia said she was “speechless”. The TV star described the moment as “an incredible morning and an enormous honour”.

The honour comes as Claudia prepares to exit Strictly. But fans won’t be without her for long.

She’s set to return to screens on New Year’s Day with a brand new season of The Traitors. The wildly popular reality gameshow is set in the Scottish Highlands.

Since launching in 2022, The Traitors has become a cultural phenomenon.

The show recently aired its first celebrity spin-off. The nail-biting finale ended with comedian Alan Carr dramatically clinching victory from Faithfuls David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed.

Claudia’s broadcasting career spans decades, beginning with BBC’s Comic Relief and The Great British Sewing Bee.

What did Claudia and Tess say about leaving Strictly?

Tess and Claudia’s Strictly Come Dancing exit was announced in October.

We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series.

In a joint statement, they said: “We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream. We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time.

“We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series and we just want to say an enormous thank you to the BBC and to every single person who works on the show. They’re the most brilliant team and we’ll miss them every day.”

They added: “We will cry when we say the last ‘keep dancing’ but we will continue to say it to each other. Just possibly in tracksuit bottoms at home while holding some pizza.”

Breaking: Nearly $1million is raised for hero in the Bondi Beach tr:agedy after telling his cousin: ‘… tell my family I saved people’s lives’

Nearly $1 million has been raised for the hero who was wounded while disarming the alleged gunman during the Bondi Beach massacre.

Before his act of bravery, Ahmed el Ahmed told his cousin, ‘I’m going to die… tell my family I saved people’s lives’.

Incredible footage captured the moment the 43-year-old father of two, sprang on the shooter after he opened fire on Sunday night.

The suspects in the shooting, Sajid and Naveed Akram, a father and son, are believed to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, according to ABC News.

The Syrian-born fruit shop owner’s heroism has earned praise from Australia and beyond and came at a significant personal cost, landing him in hospital with two gunshot wounds to his shoulder.

The stakes were not lost on Mr Ahmed, who, seconds before approaching the alleged gunman, told his cousin Jozay Alkanj he was going to die.

‘He said ‘I’m going to die, please see my family and tell them that I went down to save people’s lives’,’ Mr Alkanj recounted outside hospital on Monday morning, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Things might have turned out differently had the pair decided to join the revellers at the Hanukkah event, who offered them food as they passed by before the shooting began.

‘We needed a coffee,’ Mr Alkanj said. ‘It was then just ten minutes before this happened like that. It was very crazy, we went behind the cars, we were seeing that people were shooting very near to us.’

Moments later, Mr Ahmed was filmed creeping through the car park along Campbell Parade, hiding behind parked cars for cover as he made his way towards the alleged shooter.

Once within close enough range, he sprinted towards the alleged gunman, finally wrestling the firearm from his clutches following a prolonged tussle.

The alleged gunman, 50-year-old Sajid Akram, then fell backward towards the ground as Mr Ahmed lifted the rifle, aiming its barrel towards the disarmed shooter.

Akram then backed away as Mr Ahmed rested the firearm against a tree before a second bystander rushed the shooter and threw an object at him.

The altercation took place in view of the second alleged gunman, Akram’s 24-year-old son, Naveed, who looked on from a nearby footbridge, gun in hand.

Naveed was rushed to hospital under police guard with critical injuries, while his father was shot and killed by police at the scene.

The unbelievable footage has circulated widely online, prompting a GoFundMe campaign to be launched to raise funds for the hero, who remains under observation in hospital.

The campaign has so far raised close to a $1million across more than 5,000 donations – including $100,000 from US billionaire Bill Ackman.

New South Wales Premier, Chris Minns visited the hero at the hospital and praised him for his actions. He said: ‘There is no doubt that more lives would have been lost if not for Ahmed’s selfless courage.’

At least 16 people were killed in Sunday night’s mass shooting, including a ten-year-old girl, with dozens more left seriously injured.

The terrifying shooting unfolded as hundreds gathered to attend the Jewish Chanukah by the Sea event, marking the first day of Hanukkah.

As the dust settles on what has been described as the country’s darkest day since the 1993 Port Arthur massacre, mourners have found hope in the Syrian-born man’s bravery.

The Muslim man arrived in Sydney more than a decade ago from Syria. He is the father of two daughters aged five and six.

Mr Ahmed’s mother has said she couldn’t stop crying when she found out her son was the hero who had saved countless lives at Bondi Beach.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns said the heroism provided some hope in a time of darkness.

‘We have seen Australians today run towards danger in order to help others. These Australians are heroes and their bravery has saved lives,’ Albanese told reporters.

Minns said Mr Ahmed was a ‘genuine hero’ at a press conference late on Sunday, adding there was ‘no doubt’ he saved many lives.

‘I think it’s worth remembering that in all of this evil, in all of this sadness, there are still wonderful, brave Australians that are prepared to risk their lives to help a complete stranger,’ he said.

Authorities have released details of the victims of the attack.

Matlida, 10

Matilda died on Sunday night after she was shot while at the Chanukah by the Sea event.

In an emotional post shared to social media, her aunt Lina confirmed her niece had been killed.

‘A great tragedy has happened to my family. Yesterday my beloved niece Matilda was killed during a terrorist attack in Bondi beach,’ she wrote.

‘I don’t know how we survive such grief.’

In a GoFundMe, set up by Matilda’s language teacher Irina Goodhew, the little girl was remembered as a ‘bright, joyful, and spirited child’.

‘I was Mailda’s language teacher, and I knew her as a bright, joyful, and spirited child who brought light to everyone around her,’ Ms Goodhew wrote.

‘Yesterday, while celebrating Hanukkah, her young life was tragically taken. Her memory will live on in our hearts.’

The GoFundMe has raised more than $13,800 as of 12pm on Monday, with the funds going to Matilda’s mother, Valentina Poltavchenk.

‘All donations will be transferred directly to her to support the family during this incredibly difficult time. Donations are made in loving memory of Mailda,’ Ms Goodhew wrote.

Former police officer turned rugby volunteer and photographer Peter Meagher was on assignment at Bondi Beach when he was gunned down

Peter Meagher

Former police officer Peter Meagher was also killed at Bondi Beach on Sunday.

After his retirement, Mr Meagher volunteered at the Randwick Rugby Club and pursued his hobby of photography.

It is understood Mr Meagher was on a photography assignment at Bondi Beach when the shooting unfolded.

In a post shared to the Support Grassroots Rugby, Mr Meagher was remembered for his selfless attitude.

‘I can’t believe the news, Peter Meagher was a manager at Randwick when I played there,’ the post read.

‘This tragedy wasn’t just a attack on the Jewish community, it’s was a attack on our nation and way of life. (sic)

‘Peter not only served our country up holding our safety and laws. He actively gave back to society through his love of our sport, giving tirelessly. R.I.P Peter my friend.’

Beloved father and husband Tibor Weitzen has been identified as one of the victims after he was fatally wounded while shielding his wife from the gunfire – who survived the attack.

The Daily Mail understands Mr Weitzen, whose son works as an ABC sound engineer, died after he was shot as he tried to protect his wife.

Eli Schlanger, 41

Rabbi Eli Schlanger was confirmed as one of the victims in a heartbreaking post shared to social media by his first cousin Rabbi Zalman Lewis.

Rabbi Lewis wrote: ‘My dear cousin, Rabbi Eli Schlanger, was murdered in today’s terrorist attack in Sydney.

‘He leaves behind his wife, young children, as well as my uncle and aunt, and his siblings. He was truly an incredible guy.’

Rabbi Schlanger was the head of the Chabad mission in Bondi where he had served the community for nearly two decades.

The British-born father-of-five was one of the organisers for the Chanukah by the Sea event targeted by the gunmen.

Rabbi Yakkov Levitan (pictured) was also killed in the mass shooting

Rabbi Yakkov Levitan has also been identified as another victim of the mass shooting.

Rabbi Levitan served as a secretary of the Sydney Beth Din and worked at the BINA Centre, according to Chabad – a global organisation based in Brooklyn dedicated to sharing the Jewish faith and traditions around the world.

While at the event, Rabbi Levitan was distributing tefillin – two small, black leather boxes containing Torah scrolls that are worn by male adult Jews committed to performing the Jewish rite.

Alex Kleytman, 87

Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman was killed while protecting his wife of almost six decades from the gunfire.

His wife Larisa told the Daily Mail her husband was shielding her from the bullets when he was fatally shot.

‘I think he was shot because he raised himself up to protect me, in the back of the head,’ she said.

Married for 57 years, the pair, who are also beloved grandparents, travelled from Matraville, a suburb of Sydney, to celebrate Hanukkah with other Jewish people.

Reuven Morrison

Reuven Morrison, who served as an assistant at Bondi’s Wellington Street synagogue, put himself in harm’s way after meeting his friend Vladimir at the Chanukah event.

An emotional Vladimir said he would have been caught up in the gunfire if he hadn’t needed to find parking.

‘I saw everything and now my best friend is dead. He died in front of me,’ he told the Daily Mail.

Vladimir was returning from the Chanukah celebration to sort out his car when the shooting began.

‘I was leaving. I asked Reuven about what time to turn on the Chanukah lights and then I was walking away,’ he told the Daily Mail.

‘I’d walked about 50 metres when I heard the shots and I turned around and there was a Chinese lady and her child and I said “get down!” and maybe that’s what saved me too.

‘People started running and I looked up and saw the guy shooting from the bridge above towards the Chanukah area.

Pictured: Reuven Morrison, who died while trying to save people during the terror attack in Bondi on Sunday

‘Then there was one detective over the other side who started firing at the shooter on the ground.

‘There was more firing and then Reuven got hit. He was trying to get people to get down out of the way and then maybe disarm the shooter on the ground, he was walking towards him to fight him.

‘But then he was shot – hit in the kidneys, I think. I was there when he died.’

Dan Elkayam, 27

French Jewish man Dan Elkayam was also among the 16 people killed during the mass shooting.

The French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed the young man’s death on X on Monday.

He wrote that Paris feels ‘immense sadness’ at the news, and is mourning ‘with his family and loved ones, with the Jewish community and the bereaved Australian people’.

The 27-year-old had moved to Australia to work as an engineer about a year ago, the Le Parisien newspaper reported.

French Jewish national Dan Elkayam, 27, (pictured) died in the terror attack

Mr Elkayam was an avid football player and was part of Rockdale Ilinden FC Premier League team.

The football club shared a touching tribute to Facebook on Monday, describing Mr Elkayam as a talented and popular member of the team.

‘It is with extreme shock and sadness to discover our Premier League 1 player – Dan Elkayam – was a victim of the horrendous, tragic and senseless events at Bondi Beach,’ the club wrote.

‘Dan was an integral member of our PL1 Squad in 2025 – who was an extremely talented and popular figure amongst team mates.

‘Our deepest and sincerest condolences to Dan’s family, friends and all that knew him. He will be missed. May he Rest in Peace – Memory be Eternal.’

Police officers critical

One of the officers suffered extensive injuries to his shoulder – which almost resulted in him bleeding to death – and was also shot in the stomach.

The officer was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery to stop the bleeding.

His wife, who is also a police officer and is pregnant, was informed about her husband’s critical condition and travelled from north of the state to be with him.

Another officer, who is believed to be a probationary constable, is in critical condition after he was repeatedly shot in the face.

It is understood he is being treated at an eye hospital and could lose his eye due to the severity of his injuries.

Israel citizen killed

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed an Israeli citizen was killed in the attack, while another was also injured.

‘The Israeli Embassy in Australia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Department for Israelis in Distress are in contact with the family of the wounded individual, who is hospitalised at a local hospital,’ the ministry said in a statement.

‘The Israeli Consul in Australia is expected to arrive at the hospital to accompany the wounded Israeli and assist the family.’

Arsen Ostrovsky was caught up in the horrific shooting

October 7 survivor injured

Arsen Ostrovsky, an international human rights lawyer, was out with his family alongside hundreds of other people when the terror attack unfolded.

Mr Ostrovsky told the Daily Mail about his narrow survival after also living through the horrors of Hamas’s massacre at the Nova music festival in Israel.

‘I lived through October 7th. Never imagined I’d see this horror in Australia,’ he said.

‘Bullet grazed my head. Doctors said it was a miracle I survived, but I will make a recovery.’

After the attack, Australia’s prime minister, who called it ‘an act of pure evil’ vowed to introduce harsher gun laws. The country already has one of the strictest gun controls in the world.

The alleged gunmen are said to have lived in Bonnyrigg, in New South Wales, around an hour’s drive from Bondi Beach. The pair were there until a few weeks ago when they moved into an Airbnb in Campsie, which is closer to Bondi Beach.

According to local media, police raided their home, and three people were arrested. Those three were subsequently released.

Senior officials in the investigation told the ABC that two IS flags were found in the suspected gunmen’s car at the beach, although New South Wales police said they could not confirm the report.

It has been said that one of the alleged shooters, Naveed Akram, had been previously investigated over his close affiliation with an IS terrorism cell in Sydney.

According to Australia’s leader, he first appeared on cops’ radar in October 2019, however, ‘an assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence’.

“Whose Streets?” Fury Erupts for Sixth Week as Crowborough Revolts Against Migrant Barracks and Starmer’s Silent Strategy

Thousands of people are marching on a town for the sixth Sunday in a row to protest against migrants moving into an army barracks.

The camp in Crowborough, east Sussex, will soon have 600 migrant men staying there.

The Daily Mail can reveal around 100 are believed to soon be moving in from another camp in Kent, which is due to close.

Napier Barracks in Folkestone, Kent, is closing on Friday 19 December, with around 100 migrants leaving.

Sources say they will be moving into the base at Crowborough, 50 miles away, in a shocking example of how the immigration system is in disarray.

Locals Crowborough gathered for the sixth Sunday today in a row to protest against asylum seekers being housed in a cadet camp in the town.

Protesters assembled outside the camp’s gates before marching into Crowborough’s town centre.

Organisers expected up to 4,000 people to be in attendance at the protest.

Chants of ‘Whose streets? Our streets!’ and ‘Crowborough says no!’ were heard.

Families carried signs saying ‘Not Racist, Just Afraid’ and ‘Protect our women and girls’.

Many also draped Union Jacks and Sussex Flags over themselves.

Dozens of police accompanied the protest, which went peacefully.

Earlier this week, police were forced to intervene after local residents blocked the gates to the camp, preventing staff working there from leaving.

One protester was dressed as Santa carrying a ‘naughty list’ with politicians including Keir Starmer and local Green Councillor Rachel Millward on it.

Organiser Ryan Holden, 44, said: ‘This is a massive protest against what is being done to us without our say. We understand we’re getting 100 from Kent soon. It’s a disgrace.’

One source at Napier Barracks said: ‘They will be leaving Napier Barracks and will be moving into the Crowborough site.

‘It’s the final days of Napier Barracks, it’s down to dozens of the site and there’s a lot of preparations underway to move them out.

‘It’s migrant hokey cokey. It’s madness really. It’s moving from one problem to another.’

Two security guards said they would be moving to Crowborough.

Crowborough town councillor Peter Bucklitsch said: ‘The Home Office is playing fast and loose with us all. They think they can do what they want. It is not right.

‘I understand they will be coming from Napier Barracks this week. It is outrageous we are not being told.

‘Crowborough is not an anti-migrant place. But we have grave concerns around this. And how the Home Office has handled this is totally wrong.

‘The system is in chaos. There is no solution.’

A Home Office spokesperson said: ‘We are furious at the level of illegal migrants and asylum hotels.

‘This government will close every asylum hotel. Work is well underway, with more suitable sites being brought forward to ease pressure on communities and cut asylum costs.

‘We are working closely with local authorities, property partners and across-government so that we can accelerate delivery.’

For decades, Dermot Murnaghan was a reassuring presence in living rooms across the UK — a calm, trusted voice who guided viewers through the biggest stories of our time. But now, the beloved broadcaster is facing his own most difficult story yet: a personal fight for survival.

His wife has tearfully revealed that Dermot, 67, is battling stage-four prostate cancer, and that doctors have told the family his time may be limited. The heartbreaking revelation has left fans, colleagues, and the television world united in grief and support.

 “Chemotherapy Has Left Him Exhausted”

Speaking softly, Dermot’s wife described the toll the illness — and the treatment — has taken on him:

“He tries to smile for us, but chemotherapy has left him exhausted. Some days he can’t even get out of bed. Seeing him so weak breaks my heart — this is a man who never stopped working, who always kept going no matter what.”

Despite the devastating diagnosis, those close to Dermot say he remains courageous and optimistic, continuing to show the same grace and dignity that defined his career.

“He’s Still the Man Who Brings Light”

Friends say that even in his weakest moments, Dermot’s humor and warmth still shine through.
“He refuses to give up,” one long-time colleague shared. “Even in the hospital, he asks the nurses how they are doing before mentioning himself. That’s just who he is — thoughtful, kind, and humble.”

His family, including his wife and children, have been by his side every step of the way. They’ve described spending quiet evenings together, holding his hand and reminiscing about the life they built — from newsroom chaos to family holidays by the sea.

 A Nation’s Heartbreak

As news of Dermot’s condition spread, fans flooded social media with emotional tributes and messages of support:

“He’s been part of our mornings for years. Sending love and strength.”
“Dermot, you’ve informed us, comforted us, and inspired us. Now we’re all with you.”

Colleagues from across the broadcasting world — from Sky News to the BBC — have also shared their admiration for his resilience, calling him “a true gentleman of journalism.”

 A Legacy of Light

For those who grew up watching him on screen, Dermot Murnaghan is more than just a presenter — he’s a symbol of professionalism, compassion, and humanity. Even as his body grows weaker, his voice continues to echo through the hearts of millions.

His wife summed it up best:

“He may not have long left, but he still finds moments to smile. And in those moments, I see the same man I fell in love with — strong, funny, and full of life.”

Anne Diamond revealed she was battling cancer in an interview with Dan Wootton on GB News

After decades of lighting up British mornings with her warmth and wisdom,  TV presenter Anne Diamond is now facing what many describe as the final and most heartbreaking chapter of her life — a private battle against advanced breast cancer that has left fans across the country in tears

.

From Studio Lights to Hospital Rooms

life has a weird way of slapping you down. I was brought up a Roman Catholic and, no matter how lapsed you might be, you always fear reprisal from on high. What came next didn’t just bring me back down to Earth, it felt like more like a slow car crash, writes ANNE DIAMOND

Anne Diamond became a beloved face on British television through shows like Good Morning Britain, Good Morning with Anne and Nick, and GB News. For more than four decades, her familiar voice and radiant smile were part of millions of households across the UK.

In 2023, Anne revealed her diagnosis of breast cancer — heartbreakingly, on the very same day she received the email announcing she’d been awarded the OBE for her services to broadcasting and charity. “I thought it was just a quick mammogram,” she told The Guardian, “but by the afternoon, I was surrounded by doctors, scans, and words that no woman wants to hear.”

A Relentless Battle Behind the Scenes

She underwent a double mastectomy and rounds of radiation, describing it as “a long road filled with fear, pain, and gratitude.” During recovery, she was rushed to hospital after suffering dangerously high blood pressure — yet, remarkably, she returned to work not long after, smiling bravely through the pain.

But those close to her say her strength has come at a heavy price. “Anne has always been the fighter,” said one friend softly, “but this time, the battle feels different.”

When a Legend Faces Her Own Limits

While no official statement has confirmed the stage of her illness, whispers from those nearby paint a picture of quiet acceptance — a woman who has come to terms with her mortality, yet continues to face each day with grace and dignity.

“I don’t see myself as a victim,” Anne once said. “I’m just a woman fighting back.”

Her calm outlook has inspired millions who grew up watching her. Even now, friends say she still finds comfort in the small things: the sound of the sea, the laughter of her grandchildren, a cup of tea by the window.

More Than a Presenter — A Force for Good

Anne’s legacy extends far beyond television. Following the tragic loss of her baby son, Sebastian, to cot death, she launched the Back to Sleep campaign, which helped drastically reduce infant mortality rates in the UK.

And now, as she faces her own health struggle, her story serves as a powerful reminder: check yourself, care for yourself, and never take a single sunrise for granted.

A Nation’s Love Story

If Anne truly is entering the final chapter of her remarkable life, it is one written in courage, kindness, and grace.

Her friends describe her as “serene and thankful,” spending her days surrounded by love and reflection. And for a woman who spent a lifetime giving her heart to the nation — it is only fitting that the nation now gives its heart back to her.

“She gave her heart to television — and now the country gives its heart back to her.”

Sir Chris Hoy and his wife Sarra revealed their diagnoses last year

At just 48, the six-time Olympic gold medalist — once the unstoppable powerhouse of British cycling — stood before a quiet, tearful audience at a recent Cancer Awareness Trust event in London. His message was both inspiring and painfully human: a reminder that even the strongest among us are not invincible.

Sir Chris Hoy and his wife Sarra have been married since 2010

Sir Chris, who inspired generations with his Olympic triumphs in Athens, Beijing, and London, has now become an emblem of courage and resilience off the track. Speaking with calm reflection, he shared how his life has changed since his diagnosis.

“The biggest shift in my mindset,” he said, “is learning to slow things down — to appreciate the moment, to hold onto the people who matter most. You can still have goals, still have dreams, but the real victory is being here now.”

At his side throughout this harrowing journey is his wife, Sarra Hoy, whose quiet strength has touched the hearts of millions. Standing before cameras, her voice trembling and her eyes filled with tears, she whispered words that broke the nation’s heart:
“I just hope he makes it through this stage… please, pray for him.”

Those words — simple, raw, and full of love — have echoed across Britain tonight. Social media has erupted in prayer and solidarity, as fans, friends, and fellow athletes flood timelines with the hashtag #PrayForChrisHoy.

“Positive people with cancer respond far better to treatment,” Evans said. “And Chris is one of the most positive, disciplined, and determined men I’ve ever known.”

Despite being told his prognosis could be as short as two to four years, Sir Chris refuses to surrender to fear.

“I’m not focusing on time,” he explained. “I’m focusing on life — on the moments that still make me smile, the rides with friends, the laughter at home, the sound of my kids’ voices.”

He continued:

“Every time I get on my bike, even if it’s raining, I think, ‘This is beautiful.’ I’ve lost friends who never got the chance to appreciate life. I won’t take a single day for granted.”

His words reflect a man who has spent decades pushing the limits of the human body — and is now discovering the limitless strength of the human spirit.

For his wife Sarra, this battle has been both agonizing and inspiring. “He’s always been my hero,” she told Sky News quietly. “But now, seeing how he fights every day… it’s a different kind of courage. It’s love, it’s pain, and it’s faith all at once.”

Sir Chris’s journey has already inspired a movement. Through his advocacy for Prostate Cancer UK, more than 150,000 men have sought early testing — lives saved by the same man who once carried Britain’s flag to glory.

In a rare show of unity, political leaders, athletes, and fans alike have come together online, flooding timelines with tributes. Messages from Sir Bradley Wiggins, Victoria Pendleton, and even the Prime Minister have poured in — all calling him “a true hero, fighting his hardest race.”

As the night falls over Britain, candles have been lit across cities and small towns alike. Photos of Sir Chris in his golden Olympic moment — arms raised high, the Union Jack draped across his shoulders — are being reshared with heartfelt captions:
“Once our champion on the track, now our champion in life.”

Though his fight is far from over, Sir Chris Hoy continues to embody the same determination that defined his career — proving that heroes don’t stop when the race gets hard.

Before stepping into the spotlight, Brenda worked as an accountant — a stable, respectable career far from the glamour of film sets and stage lights. Yet somewhere inside her, there was a spark waiting to be discovered.

“You can be really good at something you’ve not even tried yet,” Brenda said in a recent interview.

It was this belief — part curiosity, part courage — that led her to audition for local theatre. What began as a simple attempt to “try something new” soon turned into a revelation. Her natural talent, emotional depth, and subtle humor caught attention almost immediately. Encouraged by others, she decided to take a leap of faith and pursue acting full time.

Brenda trained at the Guildford School of Acting, and from there, her career took off. She joined the Royal National Theatre, where her performances drew acclaim for their authenticity and humanity. But her true international breakthrough came in 1996 with Secrets & Lies, directed by *Mike Leigh. Her portrayal of a working-class mother searching for her daughter earned her Best Actress at Cannes, as well as Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe nominations.

Despite her global success, Brenda has remained humble, crediting her late start as the very thing that shaped her artistry.

“Maybe it was better that I didn’t begin young,” she once said. “By the time I started, I’d lived enough life to understand people — and that’s what acting really is.”

Now in her late seventies, Blethyn continues to inspire millions through her role as DCI Vera Stanhope — the tough yet compassionate detective adored by audiences worldwide. Off-screen, she remains grounded, spending quiet days in Kent with her husband, art director Michael Mayhew.

Her story is a testament to second chances, to courage, and to the power of self-discovery at any age.
