Stonehouse: The true story that inspired the ITV drama starring Matthew Macfadyen

[ad_1] Sign up to our free IndyArts newsletter for all the latest entertainment news and reviews Sign up to our free IndyArts newsletter On 20 November, 1974, a man left his clothes in a neat pile on a Miami beach, walked into the sea, and never returned. Later that day, a waiter at a nearby hotel found the man’s clothes and the police were alerted. A search began, but the man could not be found. That man was John Stonehouse, Labour MP for Walsall North and a former Postmaster General in Harold Wilson’s government. Stonehouse had been a rising star in Wilson’s government of 1964, with his sights set on high office. But things didn’t go as swimmingly as he’d hoped, and within a few years he was in financial ruin, his marriage was over, he had been questioned by MI5 on suspicion of being a spy for the Czech secret service, and he ended up faking his own death in Miami. In the new ITV drama, Stonehouse , written by John Preston, real-life couple Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hawes play...

Cristiano Ronaldo left with egg on his face as two claims resurface after Al-Nassr deal | Football | Sport

Image
[ad_1] Cristiano Ronaldo has been left looking foolish after comments that he wanted to end his career at a ‘top club’ have resurfaced. The forward took part in an interview with Piers Morgan before the World Cup where he explained that he felt he was capable of competing with the very best, but has since joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr on a two-year deal worth a staggering £350million. Ronaldo was keen to leave United over the summer and his agent, Jorge Mendes, worked around the clock to try and find his client a move. Chelsea and Bayern Munich were identified as options, though neither side were interested in acquiring the services of the forward. Al-Nassr registered their interest in making the five-time Ballon d’Or winner the ‘poster boy’ of the Saudi Pro League but were forced to be patient. Ronaldo made it abundantly clear that he wanted to compete in Europe, though has settled for a Middle Eastern switch after it became clear that he would be starved of top offers. Thoug...

Do you get ‘hangxiety’? How to cope with an anxious hangover | Hangover cures

Image
[ad_1] Y ou’ve got a raging thirst but you can’t drag yourself out of bed for a glass of water. All you remember from last night is going off on one about a man who “hatfished” you on a date while wearing a cap, only to realise the guy listening to you was heavily receding. None of your friends have messaged you this morning so you assume they must hate you now. You lie in the foetal position and kid yourself into believing you are still asleep so you don’t have to deal with the consequences of your actions. You have “hangxiety” (hangover anxiety) or you are suffering from a “prangover” (pranging out hungover), and it’s the worst feeling in the world. There’s a scientific reason why drinking makes us feel like this. “Alcohol is one of the most promiscuous of drugs, in that it affects a lot of different types of receptors and hence the majority, if not all, of the neurons,” says David Nutt, professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London and author of 2020 book Drink...

Knighthood comes with 'a little bit more clout'

Image
[ad_1] LONDON (AP) — Queen guitarist Brian May is now a “Sir.” May, who also has a doctorate in astrophysics and is an animal welfare advocate, received a knighthood Friday as part of the U.K.'s annual New Year's Honors list. The Queen guitarist, who was honored for services to music and charity, said he hopes the knighthood will give him “a little bit more clout.” “Maybe a few more people will listen to me than would otherwise, you know, if it’s Sir Brian on the phone,” said May, who spoke to The Associated Press via Zoom from his house in Windlesham, Surrey. He was among hundreds of artists, community leaders and athletes who were recognized on the first such list to be signed off by King Charles III. May has campaigned against badger culling and fox hunting through an animal welfare group he founded in 2010 — named Save Me after the 1980 Queen song. Some animals he’s rescued over the years were released onto his land. “I’ve felt for a long time that we had this false id...

Nia Long Thinks Calling Black Led Films 'Black Movies' Is Harmful

Image
[ad_1] Nia Long has a resume full of classic movies in genres like comedy and drama, which are often categorized as “Black movies.” Unfortunately, she isn’t feeling that. The 52-year-old actress recently spoke on why she thinks segregating Black-led films from other categories is harmful in Hollywood. Why Nia Long Wants Inclusivity In Film Categories Buzzfeed chatted with Long about her process for choosing roles since she first appeared on big screens as Brandi in Boyz N The Hood. The question regarding how Black movies are labeled was then asked the Best Man: The Final Chapters actress. I feel like sometimes the roles choose me if that makes sense. Whenever I’ve really wanted something, it never happens. So, I sort of just know that I’m not in charge of that. I have this thing in me that says, “I’m being used to tell stories, to inspire our people, and to serve as a voice, so I’m going to just trust...

The tunnels and bridges linking Asia to Europe

Image
[ad_1] Istanbul (CNN) — With sloping banks studded with elegant private mansions, palace parks and centuries-old groves, the Bosphorus is the embodiment of Istanbul. This 19-mile (30-kilometer) strait runs from the Black Sea in the north to the Sea of Marmara in the south. The urban sprawl covers Europe in the west and Asia to the east, geographical facts giving rise to the romantically evocative but somewhat fanciful description of Istanbul as a city that straddles two continents. Technically it does, but the Bosphorus isn't the city's only waterway. Just before it meets the Sea of Marmara, the Golden Horn -- known locally as Haliç -- branches off northwest. It eventually peters out inland unlike the Sea of Marmara, which leads to the Aegean Sea via the narrow Dardanelles Strait. Day and night, tankers and container ships are visible along the horizon near the Princess Islands, patiently waiting their turn to pass along the shipping route. Richard Quest rediscovers the ess...

Wolves vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more today

Image
[ad_1] "Good is not good enough, we have to do better" - Ten Hag rates start at Man Utd Manchester United can move into the top four with a victory over Wolves this afternoon as Erik ten Hag’s men are only one point behind fourth-placed Tottenham, who face Aston Villa on Sunday. Meanwhile, three points for Wolves today would be a huge boost to their hopes of avoiding relegation and would take them out of the drop zone. The Red Devils restarted their Premier League campaign with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest as Marcus Rashford continued his hot streak of form and Anthony Martial also got on the scoresheet. Ten Hag’s team look pacey and determined but in the past, they have followed up great wins with shaky performances and will hope to avoid doing so again today. Wolves come into the match sitting 18th in the table but only one point behind Everton and West Ham and just three behind 14th placed Bournemouth. They can easily shoot up the table with a str...

Former Pope Benedict XVI dies aged 95

Image
[ad_1] The first pope to take serious action against abuse, Benedict repeatedly apologised for the Church's failure to root out sexual abuse of children by clergy after the efforts failed to halt a rapid decline in church attendance in the West, especially in Europe. In 2022, an independent report in his native Germany alleged that Benedict had failed to take action in four abuse cases when he was Archbishop of Munich between 1977-1982. Shaken by the report, he acknowledged in an emotional personal letter that errors had occurred and asked for forgiveness. His lawyers argued in a detailed rebuttal that he was not directly to blame. One of the most prominent organisations for the survivors of sex abuse by Catholic clergy, SNAP, said: "In our view, Pope Benedict XVI, much like John Paul II, was more concerned about the church’s deteriorating image and financial flow to the hierarchy (than) grasping the concept of genuine apologies followed by true amends to victims of ab...
