Coleen Rooney 'hands Rebekah Vardy make or break offer to ''agree to disagree'' over Wagatha Christie row' to avoid a High Court showdown

Coleen Rooney has handed Rebekah Vardy a make or break offer to 'agree to disagree' over the pair's row to avoid a showdown in High Court showdown. If accepted, the last-minute peace deal would see both parties make a substantial donation to charity and avoid impending mediation that is set to run for the next fortnight in a bid to avoid a further five-day libel fight in the summer. Coleen and Rebeckah - wives of former England national team football players Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy - would pay their own costs under the deal, known in legal circles as a 'drop hands' settlement, The Sun on Sunday reported on Saturday. The pair would 'agree to disagree' in central claims made by 34-year-old Coleen, who publicly accused Rebekah of giving the press 'false stories' about her life. Coleen says she discovered the alleged betrayal by carrying out a months-long 'sting operation' on social media leading to the 'Wagatha Christie' nickname. M

Dozens of 'rusty' airline pilots returning to the skies after months of lockdown have reported making 'mistakes', NASA safety watchdog says

Dozens of US airline pilots have reported making 'mistakes' because they are 'rusty' after returning to the skies following months of lockdown due to the pandemic, a NASA watchdog has reported. Air travel has been at its lowest demand in decades as a result of COVID-19, which shut down many international flights as countries tried to curb the virus.  Now pilots getting back into the captain's seat have told 's NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System that since May they have been making dozens of 'mistakes' because they are out of practice.  Errors include forgetting to disengage the parking break on take off, taking three attempts to land the plane on a windy day, choosing the wrong runway and forgetting to turn on the anti-icing mechanism that prevents the altitude and airspeed sensors from freezing. So far, there have been no reported incidents of out-of-practice pilots causing accidents that have injured passengers. Whilst aviation experts say they are

Vandals paint Covid mask on the Long Man of Wilmington: Police launch hunt to track down the anonymous artists who decorated mysterious 235ft chalk figure

Vandals have painted a covid mark onto a mysterious and historic 325ft chalk hill figure, prompting a police investigation into the "criminal damage". The contemporary addition to the protected archaeological site, on the slopes of Windover Hill near Wilmington, East Sussex, was discovered on Tuesday, Sussex, Police said. The monument's origins are mysterious and have puzzled experts for decades. It is Europe's largest portrayal of the human form and is at least 311 years old, dating back to around 1710. Shockingly, the addition of Personal Protective Equipment is not the first time the local landmark has been altered, with environmentalists writing on it five years ago and a phallus appearing in 2010. The 235ft figure, carved into a chalk slope in East Sussex, is now sporting the familiar garment worn to slow the spread on the coronavirus. The mask appeared on Tuesday night and police are investigating.  Sergeant Tom Carter from Sussex Police said: "Whilst this

Historians slam woke teacher responsible for renaming 44 San Francisco schools after it emerges he used WIKIPEDIA for research to denounce Paul Revere and ridiculed idea of consulting scholars

Acclaimed historians are hitting out at a chairman in charge of renaming 44 San Francisco schools after it was revealed that he refused to consult with them during the decision-making process and his research was based on information he found on Wikipedia.  Earlier this week, the San Francisco Board of Education voted 6-1 to strip 44 public schools of their current monikers because they honor 'racist' figures from American history. Schools named after politicians including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln are now set to be rebranded in the coming months.  The controversial decision comes three years after a task force was established to study the names of the city's 125 schools to determine which ones needed to be replaced amid a nationwide reckoning on race. Activist and teacher Jeremiah Jeffries  served as committee chair on the task force and is said to have 'ridiculed' a proposal to bring in historians for consultation.   Jeffries reporte

MAIL ON SUNDAY COMMENT: The lumbering EU monster panicked and showed its true nature. A better vindication of Brexit could not be found

As the ancient proverb says, when the gods wish to destroy a man, they first make him mad. The contortions and swerves of the European Union over vaccines in the past few days certainly suggest that it is losing its reason. Perhaps in time these events will weaken its strange power over much of Europe and compel its peoples and leaders to reconsider the wisdom of building a vast multinational state in defiance of human nature. What is the reason for all this flailing, for the sudden threat to create a border across Ireland in defiance of everything that the EU and its leaders have claimed, for years, to stand for? This proposal, now abandoned amid fury and derision, is in fact the key to understanding the significance of the moment. How many times have we had to listen to supporters of the European project, and of Britain's continued membership of it, lecturing and preaching to us about this very issue, and about how Brexit would lead to a renewed hard frontier along the 300 windin

Meghan Markle erases her first names 'Rachel Meghan' from Archie's birth certificate in favour of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex 'in nod to Princess Diana'

Meghan Markle has erased her first names from Archie's birth certificate in favour of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex 'in a nod to Princess Diana'. The first names 'Rachel Meghan' were removed from the mother section of the birth certificate to bring it in alliance with Diana's preferred name, 'Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales'.  Archie's birth was registered on May 17, 2019, after he was born on May 6. A month later, on June 6, the name was changed, reported The Sun. The Queen's ex-press secretary Dickie Arbiter said: 'Maybe this was an early part of their plan.'  Lady Colin Campbell, who spotted the amendment, said: 'It is extraordinary and raises all kinds of questions about what the Sussexes were thinking.'  Months after the name change the couple had quit the royal family.   MailOnline has contacted a representative of Harry and Meghan for comment. Lady Colin Campbell, who spotted the amendment to Archie'

Send surplus jabs to the Republic of Ireland to help our Irish 'neighbours', Boris Johnson is urged amid EU vaccine row

Boris Johnson is facing mounting calls to come to the aid of our Irish Republic ‘cousins’ and donate surplus Covid vaccines to Dublin. Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster said yesterday that ‘we can help our neighbours in the Republic’ to escape the EU jabs crisis by offering them spare UK supplies. Mrs Foster appeared to make the offer conditional on Dublin recognising that the post-Brexit settlement for Northern Ireland was ‘unworkable’. But she said she ‘absolutely’ thought the UK could help, adding: ‘Because of their membership of the EU, they have not been able to access the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine in the way, I am sure, they would have liked to if they had been a sovereign country.’  Arlene Foster has urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to send surplus vaccines to the Republic of Ireland Several Tory MPs have also called for London to help Dublin, including Andrew Bridgen who said: ‘We should just come to the aid of our Irish cousins – if the EU will let us, that is.’
