General Election UK weather forecast shows London will have good day for voting | UK News It is officially election day, and that means millions of us will have to leave the house to have our say in the democratic process. While some organised postal votes to avoid this, unfortunately even those plans were thwarted as not all of them arrived on time. So given that we’ll be lining up to reach the ballot box, let’s have a look at whether we need to take an umbrella. What is the weather forecast on election day? The UK is set for…

New London skyscraper as tall as Shard in doubt over sunlight and packed lunches | UK News A new London skyscraper which would be the same height as the Shard has hit a roadblock over complaints it would block the sun and eat up public space. At 309.6 metres high, One Undershaft, nicknamed the Trellis, would be the tallest building in the City of London cluster. With a distinctive stepped structure, it would have the highest occupied floor space in the UK. But planners rejected proposals at a meeting yesterday and asked developers to think again, after neighbours and businesses…

Luke Shaw was not present at an England press conference at Euro 2024 as planned on Thursday with Ivan Toney stepping into replace the Manchester United star. Shaw, 27, is still to feature for England in Germany this summer having not played any football since February when he suffered a hamstring injury. Gareth Southgate had hoped to use the left-back off the bench against Slovakia in Sunday’s last 16 clash in Gelsenkirchen but he was again an unused substitute as Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane rescued a dramatic win for the Three Lions. Shaw was back in full training again…

Gareth Southgate could make a major tactical change for England’s Euro 2024 quarter-final showdown against Switzerland as he considers switching to three at the back. While the Three Lions have reached the final eight of the competition in Germany, the performances have continued to be thoroughly underwhelming. Late magic from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane spared them an embarrassing last 16 exit against Slovakia on Sunday with the feeling among fans and pundits that something must change for Saturday’s game against the Swiss, who outclassed defending champions Italy in the previous round. Multiple reports now suggest Southgate could switch to…

Gary Neville has criticised Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag’s handling of Luke Shaw and says it was ‘really poor’ that he played in the game that ultimately forced him out for the next five months. Shaw is currently in Germany with England’s Euro 2024 squad but did not feature in the Three Lions’ first four games as he recovers from a hamstring problem. His absence has been a real problem for Gareth Southgate, who has played right-back Kieran Trippier on the left to little success. Southgate is even considering a shock formation change ahead of Saturday’s quarter-final against Switzerland…

Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori is ‘open’ to joining Arsenal this summer but could yet receive a rival proposal from Chelsea, according to reports. Calafiori impressed at Euro 2024 despite reigning champions Italy’s deflating last-16 exit at the hands of Switzerland. The 22-year-old was named in Luciano Spalletti’s Euros squad following a brilliant season for Bologna, who he made 33 appearances for and helped qualify for the Champions League. Arsenal have identified Calafiori as a key target this summer, reportedly approaching Serie A side Bologna with a proposal worth £40m. Fabrizio Romano also claims the Premier League runners-up have contacted Calafiori…

Five England players will be walking a disciplinary tightrope in the Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland. Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions, who pulled off a dramatic comeback to beat Slovakia in extra-time, meet Switzerland in Dusseldorf on Saturday for a place in the semi-finals. Barring a crazy few minutes against Slovakia, in which Jude Bellingham scored a stunning overhead kick and Harry Kane headed home an unlikely winner, England are yet to really get going at the Euros. The pre-tournament favourites opened their campaign with a nervy victory over Serbia before failing to beat Denmark and Slovenia, though they still managed to…

Marc Cucurella has revealed he’s been trying to convince Spain team-mate Nico Williams to snub Barcelona and join Chelsea while at Euro 2024. Barca are keen to bring Williams to the Nou Camp this summer following his impressive spell at La Liga rivals Athletic Bilbao and his superb performances at the Euros. The 21-year-old, who has a £46.5m release clause, has started three of Spain’s four games over in Germany and scored in their last-16 victory over Georgia. Spain defender Cucurella believes Williams would be a ‘great signing’ for Barcelona but admits he hopes he moves to Chelsea, who have…

Rodri admits he has been surprised by the level of Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella during Spain’s Euro 2024 campaign. After hammering Georgia 4-1 in the last-16 stage, Spain are now preparing for their Euro 2024 quarter final against tournament hosts Germany this Friday. Cucurella, meanwhile, has struggled to make an impact at Chelsea following his move from Brighton in a £62 million deal in August 2022. However, the 25-year-old has established himself as Spain’s first-choice left-back at Euro 2024 and Manchester City midfielder Rodri concedes he did not expect the Chelsea defender to deliver such impressive performances. When asked which…
