Larry the Cat wasn't born into royalty. Long before he became Britain's most famous feline, he was simply an ordinary stray trying to survive on the streets. His life changed when he was rescued by Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, where staff quickly noticed his confident personality, calm temperament, and strong hunting instincts. In February 2011, Larry was chosen to move into 10 Downing Street as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, with one simple mission: keep the mice under control.
🚨💣 Jürgen Klopp addressing the German public during his introductory press conference as the new Bundestrainer:
“I’m not doing this job for myself. I’m doing it for you. I’m taking this job even though I’ve seen how you’ve treated Julian Nagelsmann. I’m taking it even though I’ve seen how you’ve treated Thomas Tuchel.
If you go after my family, I’m gone. If you think I’m rubbish, tell me to my face and I’ll leave immediately, without asking for any compensation.”

We are deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary Kevin Keegan and mourn his loss. His indomitable spirit and remarkable contribution will be forever etched in our history and his legacy will live on.
Rest in peace, Kevin. 1951-2026
Victor and Alexis will meet in the World Cup final on Sunday.
Best of luck to both players and congratulations to all Reds who represented their nation at the tournament 👏
You have had some rather brusque comments here Tracy-Ann. It doesn't matter how often things have been said in the media, if you haven't seen them, you don't know.
Just tried boarding a flight to Spain. My passport runs out June 2027. Was refused boarding because apparently it ran out in 2026 according to new European rules😳🫤Can anyone explain this to me? I’m now stuck @Ryanair@ukhomeoffice - check your passports people. Who knew .
Deaf awareness is so far down peoples list of priorities on inclusion it’s laughable when it’s likely to affect 100% of the population if you live long enough.
I’ve grown up with it and have developed a bit of a tough skin and just reply “yes”. They are usually a bit taken aback and apologetic but sometimes …
Sometimes people are so caught up in their own world they simply don’t even acknowledge their callousness. I’ve learned that these kinds of people are rarely worth listening to- hooray!
A farmer dies in April 2026.
His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.
The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.
On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.
In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.
The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.
The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.
A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.
The Treasury collects £140,000.
The land never produces British food again.
In my years of properly watching Liverpool, I don’t think I’ve seen this much of a contrasting opinion about a player between the fanbase and the manager.
We all want to see more of him. The manager doesn’t want to know. It really is odd
