WORKERS told to isolate will be given a cash lump sum in a new “carrot and stick” approach to halt Covid-19 spread.

RIGHT, enough is enough. I’m sick of ghastly trolls on social media making people’s lives a misery and causing distress and upset. I was fuming this week to see the utterly delightful Tina O’Brien, who plays Sarah in Coronation Street, being asked if she’d had a “fat transplant” and being told she should be “ashamed”. […]

WHEN Odysseus travelled home to Ithaca, his ten-year trip took in storms, angry gods, treachery and fearful sea monsters.

RALPH HASENHUTTL has no fears of Danny Ings’ head being turned following Tottenham’s failed approach to sign him.
