EVERY penny, Labour vowed, will now be scrutinised to get value for taxpayers.
But Britain is currently so skint, they said, we must freeze your income tax thresholds yet again and hammer your employers for a jobs tax.
We must strip hard-up OAPs of their winter fuel payment and fleece farmers for inheritance tax, even if it jeopardises their food businesses.
And, no, we cannot set a deadline to spend 2.5 per cent of our GDP on defence, even if Keir Starmer IS pledging British boots on the ground in Ukraine.
Today, though, The Sun reveals how millions ARE available for “research” into the wokest imaginable frivolity.
A million for a university to probe “intersectional inclusion”, another million for “inclusive histories”, £200,000 to study TikTok dancing, £247,132 on some impenetrable nonsense about “queerness” in animals.
This profligacy and more by the UK Research and Innovation quango is on top of the BILLIONS in supposed “foreign aid” being blown on sickeningly spurious grounds.
No Government can plead poverty on defence with this borderline criminal squandering of taxpayers’ hard-earned cash rife in the public sector.
Why is Labour not scything through it Elon Musk-style — spending it where we really need or giving it back in tax cuts to kick-start our stagnant economy?
SICK of terror attacks and other atrocities, the public wants politicians to be tough on all crime.
Politicians pledge to be so and get elected. Some even fulfil those promises.
But a predictably limp report by the Government-appointed “Independent Sentencing Review” blames them and the Press for Britain’s jails overflowing.
It’s the fault of “populists”, buckling haphazardly to media pressure to do as voters demand.
The study says jail terms are too common and too long, that prison often doesn’t work and there is an “over-reliance on a tough-on-crime narrative”.
Panel chairman David Gauke, the liberal ex-Tory, presumably favours a “soft on crime” narrative.
But the real problem is that successive Governments, the Tories especially, failed to build more prisons as our existing ones became overcrowded hellholes.
Mass immigration has placed an extra burden on them and cells are full of foreign criminals we seem unable to deport.
And the reality is jail DOES work.
Freed prisoners may frequently reoffend . . . but at least they can’t harm innocent people when behind bars.
That may upset hand-wringing liberals whose cosseted lives are untouched by crime.
The public want to be safe. They cannot be blamed for that. Nor can Governments for doing what they ask.
Don’t pretend that prisons don’t work. Build more.

THE FINAL WORD (3.05 Taunton, nap)
Can win the argument for Paul Nicholls. There was a lot to like about his third on hurdling debut at Taunton last time. Harry Cobden didn’t get serious on him as he finished well enough into third. It’s interesting to see a tongue tie employed today which should aid his improvement on top of that promising effort. He’s bred to want this sort of distance and should take a decent step forward here.
LIARI (4.10 Taunton, nb)
Can make it a good day for Nicholls in the west country. He has been running well in decent company and was third at Musselburgh last time after a decent effort at Newbury. He may not quite have lasted the 2m4f trip in Scotland and dropping back looks a wise move. The handicapper has helped too with a 2lb drop down the weights.
ASK ME ANOTHER (2.05 Taunton, treble)
Was rusty after nine months off when second at Huntingdon last time. She’ll come on a bundle for that effort and go one better here.
MAMDOH (6.30 Wolverhampton, Lucky 15)
Won over trip and track two starts ago and went close again at Southwell just four days ago. A good 7lb claimer takes over today and he’s good for our Lucky 15.

THE UK’s best supermarket has been revealed and it’s beaten Aldi and Tesco to the top spot.
M&S has been crowned the best in-store supermarket by consumer group Which? for the fourth year in a row.
It was also awarded the coveted title of Which? Recommended Provider for the first time in recent years.
A total of 3,206 shoppers took part in the annual survey which considers a range of factors including store appearance, queue time, delivery and the choice of substitutions.
M&S came out on top of the in-store ranking, with a customer score of 79%.
The supermarket is the only retailer to earn five stars for the quality of its own-label and fresh products.
One customer said: “It’s a real treat to shop there – great quality products that I don’t mind spending a bit more on.”
The supermarket has focused on revamping and expanding its foodhalls and freezing the price of shopping basket staples in a bid to target customers doing their weekly shop.
This may have helped it to achieve three stars for value for money and earning it the coveted Which? Recommended Provider title.
Tesco was close behind with a customer score of 74%, with shoppers praising the in-store experience and range of items.
The supermarket earned four stars for its in-store appearance, product range and stock availability.
But it missed out on being a Which? Recommended Provider due to its policy of not letting under-18s access lower Clubcard prices.
Which? is calling on supermarkets to widen access to their loyalty schemes, particularly when they unlock big discounts.
Many exclude shoppers due to their age, address requirements or need to have online access.
Aldi, Iceland and Waitrose came in joint third with a score of 72%.
The German discounter was recently crowned “cheapest supermarket of 2024” by Which? and shoppers praised its discount prices.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
But shoppers complained about the long queues at checkouts and said they feel rushed by cashiers.
Meanwhile, others said their local supermarket was messy and poorly stocked.
Customers said the same was true at Lidl, which came in seventh with a score of 69%.
Asda and Morrisons both scored 66%, which put them at the bottom of the in-store table.
The major supermarkets were the only two that failed to score more than three stars in any category.
Several Morrisons customers said the stores are cramped and the checkouts are poorly-manned.
One said: “Morrisons has gone downhill.”
Meanwhile, Asda scored two stars for everything from value for money, customer service, stock availability and store appearance.
But its returning CEO, Allan Leighton, has pledged to “restore Asda’s DNA”, which will include cutting prices.
The company has recently caught up to rivals in the Which? cheapest supermarket of the month league tables.
Reena Sewraz, Which? retail editor, said: “Our supermarket survey shows that a good shopping experience and quality products really matter to consumers – and M&S beating its rivals to the top spot shows some shoppers are prepared to pay a bit more for that.
“Aldi, Lidl or Iceland may be the preferred choice for those who prioritise affordability above all else.
“For people lucky enough to have a choice of supermarkets, mixing and matching to get the right mix of quality and bargain prices might be the right approach.”
When it came to online shopping Ocado and Tesco tied at the top of the table with a joint score of 79%.
But Tesco missed out on being named a Which? Recommended Provider due to the consumer group’s concerns over its Clubcard accessibility.
MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop.
Here we round up what saving programmes you’ll find at the big brands.
Reena Sewraz added: “For supermarkets that have loyalty schemes, this includes ensuring as many customers as possible are able to access the lower prices they offer without being excluded by age, address or digital access requirements.”
Meanwhile, Ocado recently expanded its own-label range and is the only retailer that sells M&S-branded products.
A loyal customer told Which?: “Ocado gives the best all-round experience of all the online retailers.”
Waitrose was awarded a score of 78% and received several four-star ratings but many customers complained about its expensive prices.
Sainsbury’s came third online with a score of 76%.
It was named a Which? Recommended Provider as shoppers felt that it offered better value than Waitrose.
Meanwhile, a customer said its delivery drivers are “always really friendly and helpful”.
At the bottom of the table were Amazon Fresh and Asda, which scored 68% and 66% respectively.
Amazon Fresh received a two-star rating for value for money, product ranges and communication.
Although some customers praised its same-day and next-day delivery service.
Meanwhile, Asda scored just two stars in seven out of ten categories.
None of the supermarkets included in the survey were awarded five stars for value for money.
Which? suggests this is likely because many households are still feeling the pinch when it comes to the price of groceries.
Although food inflation fell for much of last year, prices are still higher than before the cost of living crisis.
Meanwhile, factors at home could mean that food inflation rises.
Supermarkets have warned that the upcoming minimum wage increase, higher National Insurance contributions and a new packaging tax will cause prices to rise for shoppers.
The British Retail Consortium has also warned that food prices could climb by 4.2% on average in the second half of this year.
ONE in four people across the UK aren’t getting their recommended intake of a vital vitamin, according to new research – and they could be at risking a potentially life-threatening condition.
A new study has revealed nearly a quarter of older teens and adults, alongside more than one in ten children, aren’t consuming enough vitamin C.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient and antioxidant which protects body cells and is required for optimal immune function, protecting us against colds and flu.
But the research conducted by Ulster University indicated worryingly low intakes of vitamin C across the nation.
Vitamin C intakes were below recommended levels for 11 per cent of children aged one to 10- years, 17 per cent for those aged 11 to 14 years, and 23 per cent of those aged 15 years and older.
It’s the first time vitamin C intakes have been reported for more than a decade.
The UK-wide shortfall of vitamin C intake can be attributed to increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, including ready meals, frozen desserts and fizzy drinks.
Data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, which the new study analysed, has shown that over 65 per cent of daily calorie intakes in adults and teenagers are made up of ultra-processed foods – which are likely to be low in nutrients, particularly vitamin C which is easily destroyed during food processing and storage.
Dietary analysis revealed that 100 per cent fruit juice and smoothies are the primary sources of vitamin C, contributing to around 30 per cent of total intake.
Fruits account for 20 per cent and raw vegetables 17 per cent, while sugar-sweetened beverages, including fizzy drinks and cordials, provide 13 per cent.
Notably, cooked fruits and vegetables did not feature as key contributors, as vitamin C is diminished during prolonged cooking.
Study author, Dr Emily Royle, said: “The findings are a cause for concern, highlighting a gap in the consumption of vitamin C-rich foods.
“Despite the wide availability of these, there’s a clear deficit of vitamin C among UK residents, worsening with age.
“Only one in ten teenagers and a third of adults are eating the recommended five-a-day of fruit and vegetables. Instead, they rely on alternative sources for their vitamin C such as fortified foods.
“A small glass of 100 per cent orange juice fulfils the daily recommendation for children and adults and never contains added sugar, yet only a third of adults and half of children drink fruit juice regularly.”
Other surprising sources of vitamin C include broccoli, with one serving at 80 grams containing over 100 per cent of adults recommended daily intake [RDI].
An 80g portion of spinach contains 47.5 per cent of an adults RDI.
One lemon contains up to 75 per cent of an adults RDI.
Dr Royale added: “Given vitamin C’s role in supporting immune health, it’s important that people boost their intakes of vitamin C-rich foods and beverages during winter and spring when colds and flu are rife.”
Vitamin C cannot be stored in the body, which is why you need it in your diet every day.
Adults aged 19 to 64 need 40mg of vitamin C a day.
If you don’t get enough vitamin C, you can develop scurvy – a condition traditionally associated with sickened sailors who had no access to fresh food supplies while at sea.
The condition can cause a range of unpleasant symptoms, including spontaneous bleeding from the gums or under the skin and a nasty rash.
Find out the full list of signs and symptoms below…
SCURVY occurs when a person has severe vitamin C deficiency from not eating enough fruit and vegetables over a long period of time.
Symptoms may include:
You should see a GP if you or your child are at risk of scurvy and:
Source: NHS
It’s important that scurvy is treated quickly, as without treatment, scurvy can cause serious problems and may even be life-threatening.
The NHS advises: “Mild cases of scurvy are often easily treated by adding some vitamin C to your diet, such as from fresh fruit and vegetables.
“A GP may also recommend taking vitamin C supplements (also called ascorbic acid) until you feel better.
“Most people treated for scurvy feel better within days and go on to make a full recovery.”
If your case of scurvy is more severe, your GP may refer you to a specialist for treatment, support or advice.
This may also depend on what’s causing your scurvy.
Smoking can reduce vitamin C levels, eating disorders can lead to inadequate intake, and malabsorption conditions like celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and cystic fibrosis can make it hard to absorb vitamin C.
KEN Barlow is rushed to hospital in shocking Coronation Street scenes after collapsing in agony – but what’s behind his sudden health scare?
As the iconic character faces a life-threatening crisis, could this be the turning point that uncovers Cassie’s web of lies?
Next week in Coronation Street, Cassie gets a text saying her shiny new iPad is on its way – but she’s quick to keep it under wraps from Steve.
Later, when Fiz heads into town for some shopping, Cassie plays the hayfever card, asking her to grab some antihistamines.
But is she really sniffling… or scheming?
Cassie cheekily orders two pricey designer juicers under Ken’s name – but is her scam about to unravel?
She’s thrilled when Steve suggests lunch at the Bistro, unaware that back at home, Ken’s eyes snap open the moment she sneaks out.
Has he finally rumbled her?
Meanwhile, as Steve gushes to Amy about his feelings for Cassie, disaster strikes – Ken reaches for the phone but suddenly collapses in agony.
Will help arrive in time?
Cassie pays Ken a visit in the hospital, but is he any closer to exposing her devious ways?
With every passing moment, the tension builds – is this the moment Ken finally catches on, or will Cassie continue to play her dangerous game?
Viewers of the ITV soap know that Cassie was spiking Ken’s tea and was caught in the act by youngster Bertie.
Cassie then bribed Bertie to stay quiet with a brand new toy on his birthday, but he let slip to Daisy about what he saw.
Ringing alarm bells, Daisy informed Daniel about what Bertie told her.
However, Daniel shrugged it off thinking Bertie must have misunderstood and was convinced Cassie was putting in a sweetener.
Will he regret overlooking Bertie’s observation?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster
In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.
Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
Shelley King – Yasmeen Metcalfe
The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
LIDL has launched a totally new way to shop online and you can buy £30 worth of items for just £5.
The German discounter will begin selling products on TikTok shop from this Thursday.
Fitness fanatics will be able to shop the retailers protein and gym range through the shopping feature on the popular social media app.
As part of the offer, savvy shoppers have a chance to pick up a bundle of nine products, which would typically retail for £30 for just £5.
The items include:
The items are part of Lidl‘s high-protein products which are available to also shop in store.
Those keen to get their hands on the fitness bundle will have to act fast.
That’s because Lidl will only release 3,000 of the bundles for sale via the @LidlGB TikTok account.
It will go live at 9am and will be done on a first come first serve basis.
If you miss out you can shop for the products at your nearest available Lidl, but you will have to pay for each of them individually.
It’s always worth noting that Lidl’s TikTok shop presence won’t last for very long.
The brand said it will be a temporary pop-up venture, with all proceeds going to charity partner, the NSPCC.
Lidl often runs promotions which give customers the chance to grab limited edition boxes at a low price.
Ahead of Valentine’s Day, it released a bargain Valentine’s Day box with £60 worth of items for just £5.
Back in August, the discount supermarket launched a Lidl mystery box which included £199 worth of items for just £20.
Like the beauty box, a limited number were released online for customers to snap up.
It included everything from a musical keyboard and an electric toothbrush.
Last May, the budget supermarket also launched £2 beauty box, which was also a hit with shoppers.
TikTok has exploded in popularity since its launch in the UK 2018, with over 20million people now using the app.
Around four years ago, the site launched a shopping feature which lets users by a range of products from clothing to cleaning products.
If you have the app, finding the shopping feature is pretty straightforward.
Simply click on the small basket at the bottom of the site, and it will take you to the feature.
Many UK brands such as ASOS and Cult Beauty sell their goods to customers via TikTok.
You can also bulk buy products such as washing up liquid or toilet roll.
There are hundreds of products to shop on the website but it is important to read product reviews to ensure what you are buying is as described.
Like online shopping, you can use either Apple Pay, a credit or debit card or PayPal.
Lidl reduces items at the start of the day and the best deals can be found between 7am to 8am, when most stores open.
Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more.
Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also does its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain booze.
Everyone knows about the “Middle of Lidl” – it’s here where you’ll find a load of random stuff that you didn’t realise you need, at decent prices.
But if you’re hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the “Middle of Lidl” on the supermarket’s website in advance.
The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday.
Shoppers can also keep tabs on what’s appearing in the “Pick of the Week” section on the Lidl website.
The discounts happen every Thursday and are usually on fruit, vegetables and meat.
MUSIC icon Tom Jones is set to play a major Scottish show this summer.
The legendary singer, 84, shows no sign of slowing down as he plans to stop north of the border for the exciting gig.
The Welsh crooner and The Voice coach will be heading to Dundee to close out the highly anticipated Discovery Festival as a headliner.
The Delilah singer will perform his classic hits in Slessor Gardens as part of his Defy Explanation tour, bringing the three-day event to an unforgettable close.
With a career spanning over six decades, the It’s Not Unusual star has sold more than 100 million records and remains beloved by fans of all ages.
He will take to the stage on Sunday, 27 July.
Outside of Scotland, Jones will play a series of outdoor shows around the country.
Fans of Tom Jones will be able to purchase tickets to see him in Dundee from 10am on Friday, February 21 on general sale.
Ticketmaster and O2 priority pre-sale will be available from Wednesday 10am until 9am on Friday.
Other legendary acts performing at the three-day event include Ocean Colour Scene, The Fratellis, The Human League, and several other big names.
The festival will take place at Slessor Gardens, on Dundee’s waterfront, from 25–27 July 2025.
Friday night will be headlined by 90s legends Ocean Colour Scene, with the evening also featuring a number of iconic homegrown acts.
The Birmingham-born group—who have toured alongside music legends Oasis—battled with the Gallagher brothers for multiple UK number ones in the 90s.
They will be joined on stage by popular Scottish rock band The Fratellis.
Famous for their hit song Chelsea Dagger, the Glasgow-based band will perform as part of their Live in ’25 tour.
Indie band White Lies and Fife singer-songwriter Cammy Barnes are also on the line-up, as Scotland’s newest festival makes its long-awaited debut.
Organisers Liz Hobbs Group said: “We’re delighted to announce another night of incredible music at Dundee’s Slessor Gardens.
“We are certain this is going to be a great evening for fans who not only remember the artists from the first time around but also newer fans who can’t wait to sing along to some incredible indie classics.
“We can’t wait for Dundee to enjoy a fantastic weekend of music.”
General tickets are priced from £55, plus a booking fee.
