“Manchester Terror Shock: FRAGILE PROMISES on Britain’s Safety Shattered”

Manchester has been thrown into chaos and grief after a horrific attack on a synagogue during Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. A car rammed into pedestrians and a man armed with a knife struck outside the Crumpsall synagogue, leaving multiple casualties. Greater Manchester Police declared “Plato” – the national code for a marauding terror attack – as two people lost their lives and several others were injured. Armed officers fatally shot the suspected attacker at the scene.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was in Copenhagen for a European summit, immediately cut short his trip to return to London and chair an emergency Cobra meeting. Speaking before boarding his flight, he admitted the scale of the horror:

“The attack in Manchester this morning is absolutely shocking. Additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country, and we will do everything possible to keep our Jewish community safe.”

But while Starmer emphasized government action, questions are already mounting. The fact that this atrocity occurred in broad daylight, on a sacred day, has left many citizens terrified, disillusioned, and doubtful. Social media is awash with anguish and anger, with one theme emerging again and again: can the government’s promises really protect anyone?

Across the political spectrum, leaders rushed to condemn the attack. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called it “vile and disgusting,” Liberal Democrat Ed Davey described it as “horrifying and appalling,” and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage declared he was “horrified” and offered prayers to victims.

Yet behind the carefully worded statements lies a deeper political storm. Farage, whose party thrives on fiery rhetoric about borders and security, now has an opening to challenge Labour’s narrative. For years, he has accused both the Conservatives and Labour of failing to control immigration and protect Britain from violent threats. The attack in Manchester, many fear, could be weaponised by Reform UK as proof that the political establishment’s “FRAGILE PROMISES” to keep Britain safe have collapsed in the face of brutal reality.

As the emergency services continue their work and communities grieve, the debate is already shifting. Citizens are asking whether Starmer’s pledges of safety are meaningful actions or empty words. If Labour cannot transform reassurances into tangible security, public confidence may erode – and the political vacuum could be filled by Nigel Farage and Reform UK, who will not hesitate to turn tragedy into a rallying cry.

Britain now faces not only a moment of mourning, but also a reckoning: are its leaders truly capable of keeping the country safe, or are we once again being lulled by fragile promises destined to shatter under the weight of reality?

Big Brother is back with a crop of brand new housemates and plenty of ” twists and turns” to keep them on their toes, with ITV confirming its start date. 

The OG of reality shows will be returning to screens for a brand new series this month and the mix of contestants is described as “eclectic”. But would we expect anything else?!

The Big Brother house has also been given a makeover, while producers have created a string of new “elaborate tasks”.

ITV has confirmed the start date for Big Brother 2025

In a statement, ITV says: “Big Brother: Live Launch will once again welcome an eclectic mix of strangers from across the UK who will all become housemates living under one roof.

“The nation’s most renowned residence, the Big Brother House, will yet again play host to all the mischief and mayhem and has undergone a makeover that’s easy on the eye.

“Viewers can expect more new twists and turns, elaborate tasks, intense nominations and live evictions as the cast of housemates go up against one another in a bid to be crowned the winner, and walk away with a life-changing cash prize.”

Big Brother 2025: Hosts

AJ Odudu and Will Best will present Big Brother again when it returns to screens. The duo have been at the show’s helm since its ITV reboot in 2023.

The pair will be on hand to welcome this year’s housemates onto the stage during the Big Brother Live Launch. They will then send them up the famous staircase and wave them off.

For the next few weeks, along with the rest of the nation, AJ and Will will wait patiently for each housemate to be evicted, before one is crowned the winner.

AJ and Will previously spilled the secrets on their backstage antics before a live episode of Big Brother. It’s fair to say their riders are quite tame compared to some celebrities!

“I have my little bottle of beer and a Coca-Cola – a lot of fizzy!” Will admitted. AJ added: “I’m too nervous to have a bev before a show! I have a bag of sweets and I’m hot to trot.”

Will Big Brother: Late & Live be back?

For the obsessive Big Brother viewerss among us, you’ll be pleased to hear that Big Brother: Late & Live will also be making a return in 2025. The spin-off will once again feature a live studio audience, packed with fans who are ready to give their opinion.

AJ and Will will take it in turns to host Big Brother: Late & Live and you can expect plenty of celebrity guests, too. They will make up the nightly panel, which is usually full of fiery debate!

Who won last year’s Big Brother?

Big Brother 2024 was won by Ali Bromley. The 38-year-old was working as a forensic scientist when she entered the Big Brother house.

Once crowned the winner, Ali told AJ and Will that she planned to spend her prize money on IVF. She had wanted to start a family with her girlfriend Cherelle. The pair have now split.

Ali has since retrained and is working as a psychologist. She has also spoken openly about her ADHD diagnosis to raise awareness.

What is Big Brother 2025’s start date?

The brand new series Big Brother will kick off on Sunday September 28, 2025. It will air on ITV2 and stream on ITVX from 9pm.

Big Brother 2025 will run for seven weeks. This will take fans up to mid-November. The exact finale date for the Big Brother Live Final is yet to be confirmed.

Strictly Come Dancing pro Vito Coppola has revealed how he is adapting his ballroom training methods to support his celebrity partner Ellie Goldstein. 

The Italian pro, 33, shared how is tailoring his teaching to help Ellie, 22, prepare for the Strictly live shows in a video made with disability equality charity, Scope.

Ellie has Down syndrome and her needs mean she has a different way of picking up her dance steps to her fellow celebrity competitors.

Strictly Come Dancing: How Vito is teaching Ellie

Vito has explained that Ellie is a “visual learner”, which means she benefits from seeing her routines mapped out. To support her while training, he sets up life-size cardboard cutouts of the Strictly presenters and judges in their actual positions on the ballroom floor.

Show hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are standing to one side in the rehearsal room, while Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse are lined up at the front.

Vito is also using a whiteboard to write out step-by-step instructions for his and Ellie’s routine. He draws symbols, including pouting lips for “pose” and is making visual comparisons for certain dance moves. He tells Ellie to think of a “flower” when opening her arms outstretched.

Vito explains: “Ellie is a visual learner. That’s why I decided to adapt my way of teaching. Showing where Claudia is, where the judges are, where the band is.”

Vito can be seen dancing alongside Ellie in the video, which has been shared to his and Scope’s Instagram accounts, while encouraging her. He tells her: “A little bit of sass to the judges! Point to Claudia! Look at this! Like a flower, we blossom.”

At the end of the clip, Ellie is beaming. She tells fans: “Training went really, really well. And I loved it! And I can’t wait to start this now. Let’s do this!”

Fan reaction to Vito and Ellie’s teamwork

Fans have been left touched to see the effort Vito has put in to make sure training for Strictly is accessible to Ellie. One commented: “Absolutely love Vito and Ellie, he was definitely the best partner choice for her.”

Another wrote: “Just brilliant to see, shows how inclusive dancing can be. Good luck Ellie and Vito.” A third praised him, saying: “Vito is brain and heart, a wonderful teacher. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Ellie learning with that beautiful, radiant smile.”

Someone else gushed: “Vito Coppola demonstrating how inclusive teaching style shows how anyone can be taught to dance and with such a wonderfully effervescent partner like Ellie Goldstein, I hope you both go far in the show.”

Who is Ellie Goldstein?

Ellie Goldstein is already a trailblazer in the fashion world. She made history in 2020 when she became the first model with Down syndrome to appear on the cover of British Vogue. She also fronted a global Gucci campaign that same year and was chosen as the UK ambassador for the first Barbie with Down syndrome in 2023.

Ellie has always dreamed of being on Strictly, previously saying the show is her “absolute favourite thing in the world”. When Ellie’s casting was announced this August, she said she was “over the moon” to be part of the BBC show.

Ellie has since added: “It’s a show I’ve loved watching for so long, and the chance to now be part of it feels like a dream. I know it’s going to be challenging, but I’m ready to do it with the glitter and glamour and make some magic on that dancefloor.”

 

What was Ellie’s first Strictly dance?

For her Strictly Come Dancing debut, Ellie and Vito danced a Cha-cha-cha to Yes, And? by Ariana Grande. The pair earned 17 points from the judges.

During the show, some concerned viewers felt Ellie looked “overwhelmed” after the performance while standing in the Claudatorium. But Ellie has since reassured her fanbase.

She explained: “Sometimes my eyes get watery after a long day  I promise I’m not upset! I’m doing so well and feeling SO happy, and your concern truly means the world.”

The model added: “Yes, I have Down syndrome, but it doesn’t define me. Not even close. It’s actually the least interesting thing about me.”

 

She’s been at the centre of the drama in recent years

Coronation Street and Dee-Dee Bailey star Channique Sterling-Brown is reportedly set to leave the soap to ‘pursue other projects.’

Channique’s Dee-Dee has been at the centre of Weatherfield drama over the last few years, but that all looks to be coming to an end.

And, upon hearing this news, fans have been left devastated that Dee-Dee Bailey will soon be leaving their screens.

Coronation Street star Channique Sterling-Brown ‘set to leave’ soap

Ever since arriving onto the Street in 2022, Dee-Dee’s had a rollercoaster of a time.

Falling in love with villain Joel Deering, Dee-Dee’s world was turned upside down when he finally showed his true colours before his death.

More recently, after giving birth to baby Laila and backtracking on putting her up for adoption, Dee-Dee’s tried to find romance again with Ollie. But, the soap is now gearing up for her exit.

With Channique being said to be heading off to ‘pursue new opportunities,’ a source told Express.co.uk: “Posters are up around the Corrie set behind the scenes, it is common knowledge that Channique is going, and cast have been informed.”

A source also told The Sun: “It was Channique’s decision to go and she told bosses some time ago.

“She’s hugely talented and ambitious and the world will be her oyster.”

It is expected that Channique is now preparing to film her final scenes this month. An on-screen exit should follow later this year.

Coronation Street fans express upset over exit news

With Dee-Dee being such an integral part of the show in recent years, Coronation Street fans have been left upset by the news of her upcoming exit.

On social media, one person on X wrote: “Oh, I liked Dee-Dee.”
Another person on Reddit worried: “I fear this is the beginning of the end for the Baileys.”

A third person complained: “Yeah, Dee-Dee is one of the characters the producers should be trying their best to keep, but given the material she is getting lately, I see why she wants to pursue other opportunities.”

A fourth viewer concerned about the number of cast exits recently commented: “It’s starting to feel like a sinking ship.”

‘Tricks up their sleeve’ for Week 2

The Aussie pals then spoke about how much they enjoyed their first live show, before revealing how training for Week 2 is coming along. They’ll dance a cha cha on Saturday’s live show (October 4).

“We’ve got a couple of tricks up our sleeves,” Stefan teased, as a training room clip showed behind them on screen.

“It’s kind of like a video-clip style of dance,” said Dianne. “So we’re taking you back to an 80s video clip, and we’re going to have full 80s outfits and there might be a mullet,” she said, explaining the dance will be “entertaining, colourful and fun”.

Wrapping up the interview, Janette told Dianne and Stefan: “Good luck this weekend, I hope it goes well. One more time congratulations for all the amazing-ness that’s happening.”

“Thank you, thank you,” Dianne cooed.

 

‘It’s just hair after all’

TV star Ashley James left viewers divided after she showed off a new hair colour on This Morning today (October 2).

Since carving out a career in television, Ashley is no stranger to a glam look. From her stylish day-to-day outfits and glitzy red carpet ensembles, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant is constantly wowing her followers.

However, Ashley, who is a natural blonde, has opted for a change in hair colour. Earlier this week, Ashley appeared on This Morning with a slightly lighter shade of orange.

Days later, she seems to have dyed her locks once again and chosen a warmer copper shade, perfect for autumn.

This Morning viewers react to Ashley James’ new hair

That said, since debuting the new look on the ITV daytime show, it seems people have different opinions.

“Does she think that if she dyes her hair people will take her seriously,” one user wrote on X.

“I like Ashley’s Pre-Raphaelite look. She’s still a pain in the [bleep] though,” another person shared.

“Ashley’s new hair is fab on her !!!” a third remarked.

“Much better colour but it doesn’t suit Ashley,” a fourth said.

“Oh my days! Ashley’s hair,” a fifth person expressed.

“Ashley’s hair is much better today – gorgeous warm colour,” a sixth declared.

‘I’ve been talking about getting copper hair for so long’

In an Instagram video shared three hours ago, Ashley showed off her stunning new look in a before-and-after clip.

“I love being blonde and it’s definitely my identity but I felt so blonde blind and bored so this feels like a nice autumnal change,” she wrote.

“I’ve been talking about getting copper hair for so long and not been brave enough, so here we are being brave. It’s just hair after all.”

She thanked her followers, adding: “Thank you all so much for the nudge to go for it.”

The Prime Minister has been forced to cut short his attendance at the European Political Community summit in Copenhagen after a deadly attack outside a synagogue in Manchester left two people d3ad and several others injured on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

According to Greater Manchester Police, a car was driven into members of the public near a synagogue in Crumpsall on Thursday morning before a man launched a kn!fe attack. Armed officers responded within minutes and sh0t the suspected offender. The force declared “Plato,” the national designation for a marauding terr0r attack, and confirmed that paramedics treated multiple victims at the scene.

Speaking before leaving Denmark, Keir Starmer described the attack as “absolutely shocking” and confirmed he would return to London immediately to chair an emergency Cobra meeting. He announced that additional police patrols would be deployed to synagogues across the country and emphasised that the government would do “everything possible to keep our Jewish community safe.

The incident has prompted widespread shock and condemnation. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said she was horrified, while Health Secretary Wes Streeting called the attack “deeply chilling.” Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch described it as “vile and disgusting,” accusing the government of failing to protect worshippers on the most sacred day of the year for the Jewish community.

The timing and nature of the attack have intensified political pressure on the Prime Minister, who had been in Copenhagen to discuss migration and Ukraine with European leaders. Critics argue that Starmer’s promises to strengthen national security and protect communities have been exposed as fragile, raising questions about the government’s ability to uphold its most fundamental duty.

Among the public, there is a growing sense of unease. Many citizens have expressed deep anxiety and fear, not only about the scale of the attack itself but also about whether the government can be trusted to keep them safe. The massacre in Manchester has amplified doubts over leadership, leaving people to wonder: will THE FRAGILE PROMISES of Britain’s security finally be fulfilled, or are they destined to remain little more than empty words?

                     

Keir Starmer is attending a European summit in Denmark 

Keir Starmer is to leave a European meeting in Denmark early to chair an emergency Cobra meeting after an attack on a synagogue in Manchester.

The Prime Minister said he was shocked and appalled by the incident and that “additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country”.

In a post on X, he said: “I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific.

“My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders.”

The PM has cut short his trip at the European Political Community (EPC) gathering in Copenhagen after four people were injured after a car was driven at members of the public and a man was stabbed outside a synagogue. GMP later said two people had died.

A man – who is believed to be the offender – was shot by firearms officers after Greater Manchester Police (GMP) was called to an incident in Middleton Road, Crumpsall, on Thursday. Police said it had “declared Plato” – the national code-word used by police and emergency services when responding to a “marauding terror attack”.

Speaking to broadcasters before flying back to the UK, Mr Starmer said: “The attack in Manchester this morning is absolutely shocking, and all of our thoughts are with those affected. I am on my way back to London.

“When I arrive, I will chair an emergency Cobra meeting. I’m already able to say that additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country, and we will do everything to keep our Jewish community safe.

“I’ve spoken to Mark Gardner of the CST [Community Security Trust], and Andy Burnham, the mayor of Manchester. I want to thank the emergency services for the speed of their response.”

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said she was “horrified” by the attack. She wrote on X: “I am horrified by the news of an attack at a synagogue in Manchester today, on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

“My first thoughts are with the victims, our brave police and emergency services. I am being kept updated by GMP. I urge people to follow the advice of the emergency services.”

Health Secretary Wes Streeting added: “The news from Manchester is horrifying and deeply chilling. My prayers are with our Jewish community on today of all days.”

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said: “This was a vile and disgusting attack on a synagogue in Manchester. On Yom Kippur – the holiest day of the Jewish year – families gathered in prayer were targets for violence. My heart goes out to all those hurt and affected. I know many in our Jewish community will feel shaken. They deserve to know they are not alone.”

GMP force said it declared a major incident at 9.37am. The statement continued: “Shots were fired by Greater Manchester Police firearms officers at 9.38am. One man has been shot, believed to be the offender.

“Paramedics arrived at the scene at 9.41am and are tending to members of the public. (There are) currently four members of the public with injuries caused by both the vehicle and stab wounds. Members of the public are asked to avoid the area while the police continue to deal with the incident.”

Mr Starmer had been on a visit to Denmark’s capital city to discuss Ukraine and migration with European leaders. This morning, when he arrived at the EPC, he told reporters: “We’re certainly discussing illegal migration and looking at what further options we can take together.

“Obviously, I’ve always argued that working with other countries is always a stronger response. So we’re looking at a number of options there. There’s a big appetite for it, a number of countries wanting to work with us on what more we can do. So, we’ll be looking at that.

“There is also, then, obviously, the question of Ukraine and how we put in more support for Ukraine, put pressure on Putin.”

It came after the PM announced an end to “golden tickets” to settling in the UK with measures stripping back the rights of asylum seekers. Mr Starmer said automatic settlement and family reunion will end in a move he claims will deter small boat crossings.

A Home Office minister has said it is “utter nonsense” to suggest Keir Starmer is inciting violence against Nigel Farage and accused Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf of “utter snowflakery”.

Mike Tapp, the migration minister, said the claim was “offensive” and “ridiculous” and that there is “no way on earth” that the PM, himself, or any other MP would want harm to come to their opponents.

“Of course, we want all members of parliament to be safe, and that’s absolutely important, and no-one wants any harm to come to Nigel Farage,” Mr Tapp told Times Radio.

“But, look, if we want to say what we want to say, then we’re in our rights to do that, as are they. That’s freedom of speech. This is utter snowflakery from Zia Yusuf, who claims that we’re diminishing freedom of speech whilst at the same time being allowed to say what he wants.”

Mr Tapp added to Sky News: “It’s offensive, it’s ridiculous. There’s no way on earth the Prime Minister, myself, or any MP across the house, from all parties by the way, that would want any harm to come to another Member of Parliament.”

It comes after Mr Yusuf, Reform UK’s head of policy, accused Mr Starmer of “inciting violence” against Mr Farage in his speech to the Labour Party conference on Tuesday. He said the PM will be held “squarely responsible for his actions” if anything happens to Mr Farage.

He said: “What we have seen over the last 48 hours is the most extraordinary, vindictive, vicious use of inflammatory language to demonise Nigel Farage, the man who Keir Starmer knows now he cannot beat at the ballot box, so he’s embarked on a campaign with his Cabinet to incite violence against him.

“(The PM) said we need to, quote, go into battle. He called on his supporters to go into battle with, quote, the enemy, and said that Nigel and Reform represent a threat to everyone in this country.”

He went on to say Mr Farage’s security was reduced two weeks ago by “the authorities” and linked it to the assassination of right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk in the US earlier this month.

Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice faced questions on social media after he wrongly claimed Mr Starmer called on supporters to “take up arms and attack”. He said: “He literally used the word ‘arms’, take up arms and attack, go for the enemy, just the most extraordinary language.”

In his speech at Labour conference, Mr Starmer called for his party to “fight Reform with everything that this movement has”, and said that he himself will “fight with every breath I have, fight for working people, fight for the tolerant, decent, respectful Britain that I know”.

He did not directly call Mr Farage an “enemy” but argued that those who say “people who have lived here for generations” should now be deported are “an enemy of national renewal”. It was considered directed at the Reform UK leader after the PM branded Mr Farage’s policy to scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain – which would put people at risk of deportation – racist.

The PM also said: “We must come together to fight Reform with everything that this movement has. We must go into that battle armed not just with words and condemnation, but with action. And that means tackling all the problems that they prey upon, all the problems.”

Former Tory Cabinet minister Nadine Dorries, who recently defected to Reform UK, was among those to criticise Mr Starmer’s speech, calling it “an utter disgrace”. She was tied in knots in an interview with Channel 4 News when she was challenged about supposedly being the “party of free speech”.

It was also pointed out Reform UK has challenged the punishment of Lucy Connolly, who was jailed after calling for migrant hotels to be set on fire on the day of the Southport attack.

She was treated like a hero as she appeared at Reform’s conference earlier this month, despite her having written on social media: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the bastards for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.”

The Home Office said any such decision over Mr Farage’s security would have been made by an independent parliamentary security authority.

🚨 Zia Yusuf Sounds the Alarm: “I Received a Threat Saying I’ll Be the Next Charlie Kirk”

London, October 2025 – Tensions in British politics have reached a new boiling point after Zia Yusuf, a senior figure in Reform UK, revealed that he has personally received a chilling terr𝟎r threat. According to Yusuf, the message warned him that he would be “the next Charlie Kirk,” a direct reference to the shocking p𝟎litical assass!nation in the United States just weeks ago.

“I opened my phone and saw the words that made my blood run cold: ‘You’ll be the next Charlie Kirk,’” Yusuf said in a recent interview. “That is not ordinary p𝟎litical abuse. That is a terror threat.”

Yusuf did not hold back in pointing the finger at Prime Minister Keir Starmer, accusing him and his Cabinet of orchestrating what he called “a deliberate campaign of vilification and demonisation” against Nigel Farage and Reform UK. He claimed that Starmer’s rhetoric, which has included labeling Farage as racist, fascist, and even invoking “Hitler Youth,” had emboldened extremists.

“I want to be absolutely clear: if anything happens to Nigel Farage or to me, Keir Starmer will be responsible,” Yusuf declared. “It is unthinkable that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom could use words that serve as fuel for p𝟎litical terrorism.”

The remarks have raised alarm in a country that has already endured the tragic murders of MPs Jo Cox in 2016 and David Amess in 2021. Yusuf warned that Britain is again teetering on the edge of p𝟎litical violence.

“We are entering dangerous, uncharted territory,” he said. “I have seen the posts online calling for Farage to be assassinated. People talk about sniper rifles. This is no longer democratic debate. This is national security.”

Yusuf also revealed that Nigel Farage’s official security has been cut by as much as 75 percent, even as the volume of threats grows. “No one in British politics has endured more abuse than Nigel,” he insisted. “He has been called everything – racist, fascist, even a national enemy. And now those words are mutating into real threats of violence. Who can seriously say we haven’t crossed the line?”

The revelations have thrown British politics into turmoil, sparking debate over whether Starmer’s strategy has gone beyond tough rhetoric and into dangerous territory. For Yusuf, the warning is stark: this is no longer just about p𝟎litics, but about the survival of Britain’s democracy in the face of extremism and violence.
