The judges might not think it discriminates against me, the Government might not think it discriminates against me, but I am telling you that I do feel discriminated against... and the verdict doesn’t change how I and thousands in the Down’s syndrome community feel - Heidi Crowter, 26, who has lost a High Court challenge against the Government over legislation which allows the abortion of babies with Down’s syndrome up until birth.

It’s going to be more challenging to get hold of a real Christmas tree this festive season. However if you are able to get one, you can expect to be paying more than you would have in previous years.

With Christmas trees taking an average of 10 years to grow, it’s not a case of simply just cutting more trees, especially when you don’t have the labour to harvest them, or the haulage to transport them across the country - Mark Rofe, owner of ChristmasTrees. co.uk on a potential shortage this year.

Daniel Craig is well known for being Commander Bond for the last 15 years - a naval officer who keeps Britain safe through missions across the globe. That’s what the real Royal Navy does every day, using technology and skill the same way as Bond himself - First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Tony Radakin on Bond actor Daniel Craig being made an honorary commander in the Royal Navy.
