Waitrose issues urgent recall over ‘use-by date’ error as customers told ‘do not eat it’ | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

Waitrose is recalling one of its products, the Waitrose Tuna Pate, over a labelling error. The issue, it was announced on Tuesday, has caused the items affected by the recall to be released with an incorrect use-by date. The product being recalled comes in a 115g pack size and bears the use-by date December 17, 2026. However, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) noted, the product’s correct use-by date is October 17, 2026. In a risk statement about the recall, the FSA said: “The product is labelled with an incorrect use-by date of 17 December 2026, which makes it unsafe to eat after the correct use-by date of 17 October 2026.” The recall only affects stores in England. The agency added: “If you have bought the above product, please do not consume it. Instead, return it to your local Waitrose store for a full refund.

Two and a Half men creator was told Jon Cryer would be ‘death’ of show before Charlie Sheen meltdown

Published by Daniella Wilson

Chuck Lorre has revealed he had to battle CBS executives to cast Jon Cryer in his hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. Lorre, 73, has been nicknamed the “King of Sitcoms” thanks to a successful multi-decade career helping to create hit shows including Dharma & Greg,The Big Bang Theory and Mom. In his new memoir, Sitcom, he looks back at some of the challenges he faced, including the well-publicized spat with Charlie Sheen that almost derailed Two and a Half Men in 2011. However, he also explains that it was originally Sheen’s co-star Jon Cryer who concerned CBS bosses. In his book, per USA Today, Lorre writes that when putting the sitcom together in 2003 he was told by Peter Golden, CBS’s head of casting: “Just be warned, we don’t want to hear the words ‘Jon Cryer.’” Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer in the hit sitcom ‘Two and a Half Men’ (Lorre Prod/Kobal/Shutterstock) Cryer had made his name with the cult 1986 film Pretty in Pink, but had subsequently been attached to a string …

Women ‘more likely to be told autoimmune conditions are psychological’

Women ‘more likely to be told autoimmune conditions are psychological’

Published by Sam Flores

Women with autoimmune conditions are up to 74% more likely than men to be told their symptoms are psychological or psychosomatic, and face much longer waits for a diagnosis and treatment, a study suggests. Hundreds of millions of people – about one in 10 globally – are affected by autoimmune conditions, which can cause a range of health issues including fatigue, muscle pain and rashes. But research by the University of Cambridge and University of East Anglia suggests a stark gender divide when it comes to how signs of the conditions are handled by doctors. Women are more likely to have their conditions wrongly attributed to psychiatric causes, more likely to have symptoms misdiagnosed as psychosomatic, and more likely to experience delays in getting a diagnosis, according to the study. The lead author, Melanie Sloan, said: “The damage caused to women by these types of misdiagnosis can be very long lasting in terms of trusting doctors and their own self-esteem.” Sloan, a researcher in the department of public health and primary care at Cambridge and …

Miriam González Durántez: How being told no became my greatest teacher

Miriam González Durántez: How being told no became my greatest teacher

Published by Daniella Wilson

Ten years ago, when I first dreamed of Inspiring Girls International, nobody said yes. I knocked on door after door, and door after door stayed firmly closed. I was told it wasn’t viable. That the world didn’t need another charity, certainly not one focused on girls’ aspirations. That the idea was too ambitious. That I didn’t have the international reach or influence to make it happen. Some of that rejection hurt. Being told no made me doubt myself. And there were moments when it would have been much easier simply to accept that perhaps that people were right. But today, as we celebrate International Day of the Girl and the charity’s tenth anniversary with our new campaign Thank You for the No, I want to tell you this: being told no was one of the greatest gifts I received. Every “no” I heard only made me more certain that this work had to happen. Because behind every closed door were millions of girls quietly lowering their ambitions before they had even had the chance to …

New Health Secretary told of scandal of bone disease postcode lottery | Politics | News

Published by Sam Flores

Campaigners to end a postcode lottery which means people across the nation are missing out on potentially life-saving osteoporosis treatment have welcomed a pledge by new Health Secretary Yvette Cooper to investigate the delay in rolling out new services. The Sunday Express’s Better Bones campaign won a major victory ahead of the 2024 election when Labour pledged to ensure universal access to services which will check for the dangerous bone disease when someone suffers a first fracture. There is deep concern at the lack of progress in establishing fracture liaison services (FLS) in the roughy half of NHS trusts where these are absent. Osteoporosis causes more than 500,000 broken bones every year in the UK at a cost of more than £4.5billion for the NHS and social care systems, according to the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS). Campaigners say Health Secretary Yvette Cooper – who has replaced Wes Streeting – has promised she will look into what is holding up the roll-out of the promised services across England. The absence of a national delivery plan is …

Doctor Who’s Peter Davison reveals why David Tennant “told him off”

Published by Daniella Wilson

Doctor Who legend Peter Davison may have helmed the TARDIS decades before David Tennant – but that didn’t stop the Tenth Doctor star from giving his father-in-law a good telling off in the console room! Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor, and who’s also the father of Tennant’s wife, Georgia, recently opened up about filming Time Crash, the mini-episode for Children in Need, which saw the pair’s Doctors join forces – and it seems Tennant wasn’t too happy with Davison’s treatment of his TARDIS. “I always loved pressing the buttons on the TARDIS set because it meant the sound department would have to add the noise every time you press a button,” Davison recalled during an appearance on The Whoniverse Show. “It started off with just me on David’s set, walking around the TARDIS, just pressing every button and pulling every lever and apparently I did pull one lever that David had decided had a special function… so he told me off a bit about that. ‘You can’t pull that lever!’ But we had a …

NHS Tayside ‘should have’ stopped disgraced brain surgeon years ago, Eljamel Inquiry told | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

A top doctor for NHS Tayside has told an inquiry that there was a missed opportunity to stop a disgraced brain surgeon from operating long before he eventually stepped down. Dr James Cotton, executive medical director for the health board, said Sam Eljamel “could and should have” been struck off years before his resignation, which he offered voluntarily rather than facing a medical tribunal. Speaking before the Eljamel Inquiry on Tuesday, Dr Cotton told senior counsel Jamie Dawson KC that he would have personally stopped the surgeon from practising long before he resigned after a number of concerns were raised, leading to him being placed under supervision in June 2013. Mr Dawson asked if something had gone wrong with Eljamel’s supervision requirements, with Dr Cotton replying: “Fundamentally, yes.” The inquiry heard that the supervision Eljamel was placed under involved weekly meetings where he discussed his patients but did not address his practise in itself. Dr Cotton said: “The evidence that I’ve got, I cannot understand why he was allowed to continue to operate alone, or …

British Schoolkids Told To List Only The Positives Of Mass Migration

British Schoolkids Told To List Only The Positives Of Mass Migration

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Children as young as seven are being sat down in British classrooms and told to list the “positive” aspects of migration – and only the positives. No pressure on housing. No wages. No hotels. No community strain. Just the approved script. Show Racism the Red Card, which brands itself the UK’s “leading anti-racism charity,” has produced lesson plans that treat migration as an unalloyed good. Pupils are being handed headlines such as “how many more migrants can we take?” and instructed to rewrite them in a cheerier register – “migrant workers bring fresh hope to British economy” is the model answer. The materials describe the exercise as “an opportunity to explore what is positive and good about migration.” Children as young as seven are being taught that migration is a “positive” force in Britain by a charity whose funding was cancelled by a Reform council ? https://t.co/ZXpVRO0jOH pic.twitter.com/XfVNUlbTuU — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) September 27, 2026 It’s pure insidious indoctrination.

My boyfriend told me not to Google him yet. His father? Robert Blake

Published by Sam Flores

After enduring 30 Chicago winters, I gifted myself my Hollywood dream of being an actor surrounded by palm trees and green juice rather than tundra and cheese. When I landed my first TV audition, my agent recommended his favorite acting coach. Noah came to my Sherman Oaks apartment. While we worked, he rubbed my dog’s belly, and I thought, “He looks really good for 50. But this was a professional thing, right? Maybe he would be my cool, older mentor. …” That failed, and we eventually went on a date and another. On our third date, Noah looked at me and said, “Hey. Do me a favor. Don’t Google me just yet.” Noah is a comic; he’d turn anything into a bit. But this time, he asked so sincerely, I knew it was important. Besides, Noah had thus far seemed pretty normal — well, for a person who didn’t want me to Google him “just yet.” I resisted. I was very conscious of our 19-year age difference, so I sent my best childhood friend a …
