25+ min ago (510+ words) British supermodel David Gandy has said there is not enough narrative about "good men" and that Andrew Tate pushes a "disruptive" and "immature" idea of masculinity. The 45-year old, who has his own fashion brand David Gandy Wellwear, is one of the best-paid male models and known for Dolce and Gabbana's 2007 advert for Light Blue in which he wore a pair of white briefs. He has also been backing the Centre for Social Justice's Lost Boys campaign, which aims to raise awareness on the issues boys and young men are facing. Speaking to BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Gandy said that young men need better role models and that despite the good opportunities that come with social media and its ability to share information and build community, some take advantage of it. He said: "When you've got unregulated information…...

31+ min ago (538+ words) Rachel Reeves has said she was "uncomfortable" listening to Kemi Badenoch's response to the Budget, in which the Conservative leader mocked and impersonated the Chancellor. Mrs Badenoch has defended her comments and said her "job is to hold the Government to account, not to provide emotional support for the Chancellor". During her Budget response in the Commons on Wednesday, Mrs Badenoch called Ms Reeves "spineless, shameless and completely aimless", adding: "Let me explain to the Chancellor, woman to woman: people out there aren't complaining because she's female, they're complaining because she is utterly incompetent." Ms Reeves told the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme: "I don't like that sort of stuff. I don't do it. I try to concentrate on policies rather than personalities." She added: "So, yes, I was a bit uncomfortable listening to that, because it's not really…...

36+ min ago (886+ words) Rachel Reeves has defended her handling of the Budget as opposition figures claimed she misled the public over the size of the fiscal "repair job" she faces. In media interviews on Sunday morning, the Chancellor said she "of course" did not lie to the public when she set out a gloomy economic picture at the beginning of November. She told broadcasters: "Anyone who thinks that there was no repair job to be done on the public finances, I just don't accept that. "We needed to build more resilience, more headroom into our economy. That's what I did, along with that investment in the NHS and cutting bills for families." Pre-Budget speculation had suggested Ms Reeves faced a significant gap in her spending plans, partly due to a downgrade to productivity forecasts expected to be delivered by the Office for Budget…...

57+ min ago (869+ words) Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner says a lack of backing in the transfer window has led to the club's struggles juggling Premier League and Conference League commitments. Glasner says he wanted to sign more players in the summer, as he blamed his squad's lack of depth for their 2-1 loss to Manchester United on Sunday. Palace's lack of squad depth was highlighted not for the first time this season as United came from behind to inflict a first home defeat in the Premier League this term. The Eagles have now picked up just one point from the four league games played after midweek European games. Palace had started the stronger of the two teams and took a deserved lead in the 36th minute as Jean-Philippe Mateta dispatched his penalty at the second time of asking. But Ismaila Sarr was then forced off…...

1+ hour, 20+ min ago (333+ words) Arsenal have been dealt a blow after William Saliba was left out of the squad to face Chelsea on Sunday. Saliba was absent after picking up a knock in training ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge. The Gunners have been hit by injuries at centre-back recently, with Gabriel also on the sidelines due to a thigh issue. In Gabriel and Saliba's absence, Mikel Arteta opted to pair Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie in the heart of Arsenal's defence. The pair joined the Gunners during the summer transfer window and have made impressive starts to their time in north London. There was some good news for Arsenal before kick-off at Chelsea, with Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyokeres back in the squad. Jesus has been out of action since January after injuring his knee and undergoing surgery. He played in a…...

The image was shared by former actor turned activist Laurence Fox, now leader of the Reclaim Party, who was travelling with his wife Elizabeth. One concern reportedly centres on Holly's two daughters, aged 12 and 8, and the prospect of them spending time with Robinson, 42, who co-founded the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009. A friend told the Mail: "There is concern about Holly and her two girls. Plenty of her friends are worried. The question is whether they (Ms Valance and Robinson) are romantically involved. Even if they are not having a romantic relationship, there is the fact that he has all of these convictions against him." "How weak and immoral we have become. Our silence is immoral....

1+ hour, 46+ min ago (716+ words) Jeremy Corbyn suffered a setback on Sunday as his new party's founding conference rejected his preferred leadership set-up. Members of the new Your Party voted narrowly against having a single elected leader, opting instead for a collective model that put a committee of members in charge. Mr Corbyn, the former Labour leader, had previously said he backed the "sole leader" model and would stand for the position. The collective model had been supported by Mr Corbyn's rival, former Labour MP Zarah Sultana, after her preferred "co-leadership" plan had been blocked from consideration by members. Welcoming the vote, Ms Sultana said she had "fought for maximum member democracy since day one" and described the decision as "exciting". She said: "Together, we're building a new socialist party " radically democratic and powered by a mass movement. "This party will be led by its…...

The Eagles are looking to continue their fine recent run against Ruben Amorim's out-of-sorts United team as they target a fourth win in their last five meetings. Oliver Glasner will be keen to banish the memories of Thursday's frustrating Conference League defeat at Strasbourg, which saw Palace create enough chances to win the game but evenutally go down 2-1 losers. It ended a run of four defeats in five, but the Eagles will see today's game as a great chance to get back to winning ways. United were last seen losing at home to an Everton side who had just 10 men for 80 minutes, but had the midweek off as they look to improve their absymal record of…...
