A BRITISH car selling giant with a stock of 91,000 motors has been saved from closure.
Despite suffering “heavy losses” and axing huge numbers of its staff, the firm will remain “fully operational”.
Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) initially planned to axe failing firm Heycar, after it made huge losses over several years.
The used car advertising platform first launched in 2019 but lost over £30 million in 2022.
Just a year later, the online advertiser lost £22.4 million as its revenue continued to dwindle.
Its parent company Mobility Trader went into liquidation as a result, but Heycar has been thrown a lifeline by its majority shareholder VWFS.
The German brand has confirmed its plans to integrate the advertiser into its own company, after acquiring “ certain businesses and assets” belonging to Heycar.
Heycar’s remaining staff – who were not axed in cost-cutting missions – will be incorporated into Volkswagen’s own teams.
A spokesperson for VWFS said: “While Heycar UK’s parent company, Mobility Trader, has entered liquidation, the Heycar platform itself remains fully operational.
“VWFS UK has acquired certain business and assets of the Heycar UK business, ensuring the platform’s continuity for users.
“This acquisition underscores VWFS UK’s commitment to revolutionise the way customers purchase used vehicles online.
“Following the now completed acquisition, VWFS UK is continuing the process of onboarding the Heycar UK employees.”
VWFS owns a huge portion of the company, with a staggering 78 per cent stake in the business.
The German-car manufacturer Volkswagen owns 13 per cent, with Renault having the next largest share at nine per cent.
Heycar made headlines after its launch in 2019, when it went on a spending spree which saw it snapping up fellow online firms.
Honest John was bought out of administration in 2020 by Heycar, along with several other sites.
It also took over RAC Cars in a bid to relaunch the car advertising platform.
The news comes as stakeholders scramble to rescue the iconic car brand Lotus’s UK plant.
The Chinese-owned car maker is reportedly planning to close the factory, amid Donald Trump’s global tariff war.
Labour’s Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds was set to hold a meeting focused on saving the plant, but Lotus has denied claims that it is planning to close down the plant.
A spokesperson added: “We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market.
“The UK is the heart of the Lotus brand — home to our sports car manufacturing, global design centre, motorsport operations, and Lotus Engineering. It is also our largest commercial market in Europe.
“We have invested significantly in R&D and operations in the UK, over the past six years.
“Lotus remains committed to the UK, and its customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, as well as its proud British heritage.”
VLADIMIR Putin’s officers have been killed in droves in the first British-made Storm Shadow strike in months, reports claim.
Bombshell footage showed the damage in Donetsk amid claims of “massive casualties among Russian officers” and the “crippling” of a mad Vlad fighting force.
If confirmed, it would be the first use of the British-supplied missiles in months.
Red-faced Russian authorities admitted only that a woman had died and three people were wounded, including a teenager.
A building collapsed in the combined missile and drone strikes, with fire spreading to nearby shops, according to Russian reports.
And both Russian and Ukrainian sources revealed Britain’s state-of-the-art Storm Shadow missiles were involved in the major strike.
Ukrainian sources said the strike was on the Donetsk Research Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals – a military target used by Russian occupiers.
Ukrainian channel Supernova+ said the strike was on “the headquarters of the 8th combined arms army of the Russian Armed Forces”.
The report revealed: “The building is penetrated to the basement. [The dead] are being taken out in batches.”
And journalist Ivan Yakovina said: “Clear results of the recent Nato summit – cruise missiles supplied by the UK and France today destroyed the headquarters of the 8th Combined Arms Army in Donetsk and a massive depot with an oil terminal in Luhansk.
“There were massive casualties among Russian officers at the HQ.
“They were confident that Ukraine no longer had the means to strike at such depth, so they didn’t even bother to go down to the shelter during the alert.”
He added that the result of this was “dozens killed and wounded – an entire army has been crippled”.
Other reports say the site hit was a key place for works on UAVs and electronic warfare in the latest devastating loss for Putin.
Russian head of occupied Donetsk region Denis Pushilin said 26 missiles, drones and 155-mm artillery were unleashed by Ukraine, causing significant damage to various infrastructure.
Until today, there have been no confirmed reports of Storm Shadows being deployed since November last year.
Britain’s bunker-busting Storm Shadow rockets are a nightmare for enemies as they are capable of dodging air defences.
The £800,000 missiles – already being fired within Ukraine – use GPS to precisely hit targets, and can travel at 600mph.
France’s equivalent is known as SCALP‑EG.
In November last year, the US authorised Ukraine to use American long-range missiles called ATACMS against targets inside Russia.
In the same month, Britain gave the green light for Ukraine to fire our Storm Shadow missiles at Russia.
France has supplied its Scalp missiles to Ukraine, and reiterated in November that strikes on military targets inside Russia were an option.
Major fires were also seen in neighbouring Luhansk, also Russian occupied, with reports that an oil terminal was hit.
This followed an unconfirmed Russian claim that the entire territory of the Luhansk region was now in Putin’s hands – a longtime aim for the mad dictator.
But there was no independent verification of the claim by puppet leader Leonid Pasechnik.
Meanwhile, Ukraine targeted Russian region Rostov, and the Crimean Bridge linking the Black Sea peninsula to Russia’s mainland was closed.
Explosions and sirens could be heard in Saratov and Engels – a key base for Russian strategic bomber aircraft.
Russia staged attacks on the Zaporizhzhia region with an enterprise and private houses hit – unleashing fiery chaos.
Ukraine also targeted the Izhevsk electromechanical plant Dome in a drone strike, which makes air defence systems and drones.
The strikes came as Donald Trump’s special representative Keith Kellogg hit back at Putin over delays in the pace process – targeting the dictator’s mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov.
He slammed: “Peskov’s recent comments on the state of negotiations are Orwellian.
“Russian claims that it is the US and Ukraine stalling peace talks are unfounded – President Trump has been consistent and adamant about making progress to end the war.
“We urge an immediate ceasefire and a move to trilateral talks to end the war. Russia cannot continue to stall for time while it bombs civilian targets in Ukraine.”
SECURITY expert David H. Carstens believes Putin has four key vulnerability and ‘will die like Hitler’.
The ex-commander told The Sun: “2025 could be the costliest year of the war for Russia in terms of casualties, look, troops are not a limitless resource. So that’s, shall we say, risk number one for Putin.
“Number two is despite Russia’s ability to suffer, the fact that the economy is very fragile.
“If there is some sort of an economic shock, like a massive drop in fuel prices or the loss of a strategic trade partner, I think the system could destabilize.
“Risk or threat to Putin number three is that Putin depends on this very small inner circle.
“His security services, the FSB, his oligarchs, some loyalist military commanders.
“If there are continued war failures, if there is, you know, continued use of soldiers, you know, en masse, rushing Ukrainian defenses, creating these high casualty events, lack of confidence will rise, and this could fracture the inner circle.”
Carstens warned Putin could face the same fall from power as Hitler and end up dead like the Nazi dictator.
“I’ve got to reach into history for the threat to Putin number four. I just don’t think Putin has read his history when it comes to overreach,” he added.
“So Russia is incredibly overextended in Ukraine.
“And it is this exact same type of overreach that ultimately defeated Hitler in his conquest of Europe.
“So I think Putin has fallen into the same demise, is getting mired down in a conflict he cannot sustain, and that as well is part of his Achilles’ heel.”
A “HERO” Brit drone fighter was killed defending Ukraine against the Russian occupation.
Tributes are pouring in for Benjamin Leo Burgess, 33, who served on the frontline for three years and was “killed in combat”.
Burgess, from Portsmouth, first served in Zaporizhzhia with Ukraine’s artillery regiment before becoming an FPV drone pilot.
He had formerly served in the British army.
A funeral attended by 40 people, including family and friends, was held at Kyiv’s main crematorium for the Brit volunteer fighter.
Russian sources had earlier claimed the Burgess, whose call sign was Budgie, had been “eliminated”.
He is understood to have been killed in Andreevka, in Ukraine’s Sumy region.
Fellow soldiers said Burgess was a hero and was among the “best pilots we had.”
Another Brit soldier – identified only by his call sign Azrael – said: “A lot of people come to Ukraine for different reasons, but Budgie definitely came for the belief that Ukraine deserves to be free.
“And he was willing to fight for that. And he did.
“He fought well, fought bravely, and ultimately was killed doing that.”
Azrael, from Ukraine’s 78th airborne assault regiment, said Burgess’ death was his biggest loss.
He added: “We were the last two foreign fighters in our regiment.
“He was my family here. I’ve lost many friends in this war – he’s my biggest loss.”
The “hero” fighter was given a funeral at the heart of Kyiv city.
Emotional pictures show Burgess’ coffin draped with the British and Ukrainian flag.
Family and friends, as well as fellow soldiers, were seen standing together as flowers and roses were laid gently on top of his casket.
Ukrainian locals left emotional messages for Burgess at Kyiv’s Maidan Square.
One of the messages read: “Thank you for protecting.”
BRENTFORD feel they are following in the footsteps of Liverpool’s famous boot room with their Keith Andrews gamble.
The Bees have turned to set-piece coach Andrews to succeed Thomas Frank after his impressive seven-year tenure.
Few Premier League clubs would even consider appointing from within nowadays, but Liverpool did so over 39 years.
Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Kenny Dalglish and Roy Evans all emerged from the inner sanctum to lead the Reds — and Brentford want to develop a similar reputation.
Ex-Ireland midfielder Andrews, 44, has no managerial experience but has been with the club for 12 months.
His first task is to deal with losing key players, with captain Christian Norgaard set to join Arsenal and top scorer Bryan Mbeumo in Manchester United talks.
While many predict Brentford’s fabled model will collapse under the pressure of a tumultuous summer, those in charge appear relaxed.
Director of football Phil Giles led the process to replace Frank, having promoted him from within to replace Dean Smith in 2018.
He said: “Liverpool used to do it for 30 years when they were the best team around and it worked for them.
“I’m not sure when it fell out of fashion. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for us.
“Thomas has a phrase, ‘If you take no risk, you also take a risk’, which is completely right.
“It’s more risky to go and get a coach we don’t know from a club where the environment may be different.”
Giles all but confirmed Norgaard’s £9.3million move to the Gunners but was more bullish on hitman Mbeumo’s future — challenging Manchester United to meet their demands.
The chief has seen key figures come and go in more than a decade in the role.
Giles added: “A lot of people say it’s more worrying when there’s not interest in your players. It’s good that there’s interest.
“We’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves. We’ve only got a new head coach and a new keeper as it stands.
“It’s not like falling apart . . . There’s interest. Until that happens, it’s actually pretty stable.”
Andrews is just as relaxed as the top brass over departures.
But he said: “Ultimately, I want the best possible players in the building.
“We’ve got phenomenal players in the building that we will continue to improve and develop.”
A POP star from the 1990s has swapped her previously modest style for a racy new look.
Hitmaker Jewel, who is now 51, has stunned in some racy black lace lingerie as fans say she looks ‘half her age’.
Jewel Kilcher, who is known professionally as Jewel, has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
The singer, who is “picky” when it comes to men, split from her husband Ty Murray in 2014.
Over the weekend, she headed to the wedding of the century in Italy between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
Attending one of the parties to celebrate the couple’s nuptials, Jewel donned some lace lingerie as she posed up a storm.
She could be seen showing off her slender frame in some silk shorts with a black lace corset top.
“What a wonderful three days celebrating love in the most poetic city … wearing my favorite @dolcegabbana,” she penned in the caption of the series of snaps.
Jewel wore her auburn hair down and in a bouncy blowout, with her makeup kept natural, soft and glamorous.
She wore some stockings with the attire, a pair of heels, and a black and white robe-style jacket over the top.
Fans were quick to swoon over the starlet’s sexy display.
“You look amazing,” said one.
“Holy smokes Jewel… you are smokin hot,” penned another.
“Stop it! You’re teasing the heck out of us,” demanded a third.
“Wow, you really are a jewel, with enduring beauty,” swooned a fourth.
A fifth then gushed: “Looking more and more gorgeous. Idk how you do it. So youthful!!! Been a fan of yours since the beginning! I think you’re amazing!”
Here's what you need to know...
“You look stunning and I think you’re aging backwards,” added a sixth.
“Jewel…..you just keep getting better with age,” declared a seventh.
The Utah-born singer is known for her hits such as Who Will Save Your Soul, You Were Meant For Me, and Foolish Games.
She performed You Were Meant For Me last April when she made a surprise appearance at Olivia Rodrigo‘s gig.
Stepping out on stage with hitmaker Olivia on April 9 at her Gits World Tour, Jewel surprised the crowd.
She joined Olivia to perform You Were Meant for Me at her fourth show at Madison Square Garden.
THE One Show has been pulled off air for weeks amid ongoing TV schedule chaos.
The early evening magazine show is BBC One’s staple 7pm output but from this week it will cease to air as normal.
Both Alex Jones and Roman Kemp have taken a step back from their hosting roles on the show as it takes time off-air.
The One Show will be off-air for a total of four weeks in order to accommodate sporting coverage such as Wimbledon and the Euros.
Alex confirmed they would be off-air as they hosted their last show together on Friday.
Addressing The One Show viewers, she said: “We are taking a bit of a break for the next four weeks and we’ll be back on Monday, 28th July but there’s plenty to enjoy like Wimbledon and the Euros.”
The One Show typically airs all week at 7pm with Alex and Roman often in the hosting seat.
Lauren Laverne, Ronan Keating, Clara Amfo and Alex Scott are also often seen covering hosting duties.
The One Show took a similar four-week break last year to accommodate summer sporting events.
This week, Wimbledon will begin its evening coverage at 7pm on BBC One forcing The One Show to be axed as well as flagship soap EastEnders to be moved to smaller channel, BBC Two.
Despite EastEnders usually airing Monday-Thursday at 7:30pm on the main BBC channel, fans will instead see two episodes broadcast on just Monday and Tuesday on BBC Two.
It will air a back-to-back double bill this evening.
Following tonight’s Walford action, fans will have to go a whole eight days before getting their next fix of Albert Square action.
The soap won’t air again until the 9th July.
