UK inflation falls sharply for second month to 6.8% For the second month in a row, the rate of inflation – how quickly prices are rising – has dropped sharply to a 15-month low. Inflation in the UK dropped to 6.8% in the year to July from 7.% in June. The latest figure was driven by a reduction in the energy price cap and food costs rising less rapidly, particularly staple foods such as milk, bread and cereals.

Capt Tom Moore’s daughter’s company was paid for charity event Capt Sir Tom Moore’s controversial daughter was paid thousands of pounds via her family company for appearances in connection with her late father’s charity. Hannah Ingram-Moore helped judge awards ceremonies which featured the Captain Tom Foundation charity in 2021 and 2022. Promotional clips suggested she was there to represent the charity. But her fee was paid not to the Foundation but to her family company. She has not responded to the claims.

Kim Kardashian looks absolutely terrifying in a new poster for American Horror Story: Delicate Part One.

The reality star pioneer, 42, joining the Ryan Murphy franchise didn’t exactly go down well with fans, to put it lightly, but everyone is without fail spooked by new images of the SKIMS founder.

Kim is totally unrecognisable in a platinum blonde wig with a blue glow, matching skin-tight sports bra with a humongous spider crawling up her torso.

The reaction to her mind-blowing makeover as mixed from ’I’m super excited to see Kim’ to ‘this is a hard hell no’.

After backlash to her role though, it appears public opinion is now turning in her favour.

‘Kim looks so different in these promo shots ngl I’m excited!’ one fan enthused on X, formerly known as Twitter, while another agreed: ‘I honestly can’t wait to see Kim in this!’

‘I’m far from a fan, but she did a pretty good on SNL’ someoe else recalled. ‘If you can do that well live, I’m sure you can do even better scripted. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.’

The images come after it was confirmed American Horror Story: Delicate will now be split into two parts and slightly postponed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

The series faced further drama when fans threatened to boycott over Kim’s appearance.

Regardless, the mum-of-four brushed off the backlash and said earlier this year she was still ‘so excited’ and has been taking acting lessons.

‘We start shooting my stuff at the end of this month,’ she told Variety.

‘But production has already started and I’m so excited.

‘It’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I’m so excited for the experience.’

American Horror Story: Delicate airs on FX on September 20.
