Jonathan Gullis is seen as a "Red Wall" MP prepared to speak plainly on certain issues.

Have you noticed how much your sleep is impacted when you’re unwell? From running back and forth to the loo, waking up in cold sweats and even being kept awake with coughing fits due to a nasty cold, our sleep often gets a fair beating when we’re unwell.

Preparing the home and garden ahead of spring is sometimes quite lovely. You’re opening your garden for the plants to grow and local wildlife to thrive in, your patio will be refigured, and all clutter removed, and months of sunny days and making memories are ahead of you.

Like running a 10k or cooking a lasagne, I can commit to a full-on text chat sometimes, when I feel like doing something consuming and involved.

But getting an opening text at 2pm on a workday feels a bit like being asked to make my own ragu on a Tuesday evening; surely nobody’s doing that? Where do they find the time? It sounds ridiculous, but the thought of replying exhausts me.

Well, it turns out that not only am I not alone, but I could also have something called digital burnout.

A huge number of fathers took two weeks or less for paternity leave because they couldn’t afford to be off work.

In a survey conducted by Pregnant Then Screwed in partnership with Women In Data® it was found that 70.6% of fathers did not use their full entitlement due to financial restrictions.

The research comes amid changes in paternity leave law which means from April 6, fathers will be able to take their paternity leave split into two, one week blocks. Читать дальше...

Sure, sure, everyone says hangovers get worse with age.

But isn’t it meant to be a gradual decline ― not the stark downfall of your basic ability to recover within a day after a heavy night out? 

Well, if you’ve noticed that your hangovers became far, far worse since contracting COVID-19, there’s a chance it could be long COVID, scientists suggest. 

In a recent study from Stanford, researchers found that those with the condition “self-reported new changes in their symptoms... Читать дальше...

IMODIUM®, GB’s leading anti-diarrhoea brand, and Guts UK, the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system from top to tail — the gut, liver and pancreas — have joined forces to support your gut health, with 100 combined years of expertise. Читать дальше...

Rihanna in her iconic Umbrella video

This week marks 17 years since Rihanna released her hit song Umbrella.

Rih’s pop anthem was number one in the UK charts for 10 consecutive weeks – and was the song that really catapulted the rising pop star into the limelight.

It’s fair to say that the song was inescapable that year and was the soundtrack to summer 2007. 

However, this breakout hit wasn’t originally intended for Rihanna. 

The artists that were offered the song... Читать дальше...

Emma Watson’s post-Harry Potter projects, from Little Women to Beauty And The Beast, have delighted studios and audiences alike. 

If I told you people who grew up with black and white TV have greyscale dreams while those who had colour TV don’t, would you believe me? 

Well, I didn’t when I first discovered the fact ― but shockingly, it seems to be true.

Multiple studies between 1915 and the ’50s found that people dreamed in black and white. For instance, a 1942 study found that college students “rarely” or “never” saw colour in their dreams.

But after the ’60s ― when colour TV had become mainstream ―up... Читать дальше...

In a recent TikTok, Dr. Karan Raj ― who’s known for spreading his medical wisdom on the app ― Stitched a video about a “stone baby.” 

The initial video showed an X-ray of a woman with a calcified foetus in her abdomen. 

“Patient went for a bladder stone, turns out it’s a calcified baby she never birthed,” the Stitched video said. 

I wan honestly expecting the doctor’s following video to be a debunking ― so I was shocked to hear him say “This is a stone baby, also known as a lithopedion.”

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain pictured together in January

Rishi Sunak and Vicky Ford

Conservative MP Vicky Ford had a rather eyebrow-raising response to a question from a BBC Newsnight guest about declining trust in politics on Monday.

The backbencher held prime minister Rishi Sunak up as a example of “honesty and integrity”, apparently overlooking his track record.

The guest said: “What matters to me most is trust in politicians, because at the moment, politicians are not coming across as authentic. They’re not coming across as honest. Читать дальше...

Sacha Baron Cohen

The two actors took the lead in the 2016 comedy Grimsby, which also starred Penélope Cruz, David Harewood, Mark Strong and Gabourey Sidibe.

Last week, Rebel posted a video on Instagram, in which she referred to an undisclosed former co-star who she’d written about in her upcoming book.

“I worked with a massive asshole, and yeah, now I... Читать дальше...
