Passengers have described a 'surreal' scramble to reach the first government flight out of the Middle East, reflecting on the rush to make it aboard. The plane landed at London’s Stansted Airport in the early hours of Friday morning, concluding a journey that many say felt anything but ordinary. Their accounts emphasise the urgency and unusual atmosphere surrounding that inaugural flight and the moment it finally touched down before dawn.

Data from England and Wales shows tens of thousands of people a year have bailiffs sent to their homes by water companies, with most recorded visits linked to smaller debts. Many thousands of these debt collection visits were for sums under £1,000, according to information released by the House of Commons environment, food and rural affairs (Efra) committee. The method of recovery is described as a postcode lottery, and court-instructed bailiffs can seize items such as electrical goods, jewellery or vehicles from those in debt.

A House of Lords committee warns that the UK’s creative industries must not be sacrificed in the pursuit of speculative gains in AI technology, urging ministers to abandon plans that would let tech firms use the work of novelists, artists, writers and journalists without permission. The peers’ report calls for a licensing regime governing the use of creative works in AI products, as the government prepares to reveal the economic cost of proposals to change copyright rules.

England’s “creaking” adult social care system is “confusing and impenetrable” and held together by “sticking plasters and glue”, according to the head of a government-commissioned review. In a withering critique, Louise Casey warns the country faces a “moment of reckoning” over its failure to effectively and fairly meet the needs of Britain’s ageing population and rising numbers of people with chronic conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. Her assessment highlights a system many rely on but struggle to navigate.

The mass stranding and death of 55 pilot whales on Tràigh Mhòr beach, Tolsta, on the Isle of Lewis in 2023 was caused by the mammals’ loyalty to their pod, a report has concluded. Scientists believe the group had been following a female experiencing a difficult birth before coming ashore, and the whales were later euthanised. The incident, initially suspected to be linked to trauma, disease or acoustic disturbance from military or industrially generated noise, is now attributed primarily to social bonding.

Adam Tickell, vice-chancellor of the University of Birmingham, has questioned whether students without A-levels should receive government-backed student loans, arguing money is being lent to people who are “not really capable of graduating.” Framing it as part of efforts to tackle England’s university funding crisis, he warned institutions face an “almost existential challenge” and falling public support, and called for a radical review of higher education funding.

The defender’s blunt assessment underscores the urgency facing Liverpool as they prepare for a quick turnaround against familiar foes. With another meeting looming, Robertson’s message is clear: standards must rise after falling short days earlier against Wolves.

A 29-year-old woman described as being 'chucked' into a care home 100 miles from her family is named as Iona Grant. Grant, 29, from Fort William, was placed in a care home in Nairn about five months ago, putting significant distance between her and her relatives. The move situates the young woman far from home, with her placement in Nairn and the 100-mile separation from family underscoring how far she is living from loved ones.

Aston Martin’s dire start to the season has left Fernando Alonso in a “hard mental place”, according to team principal Adrian Newey. His assessment points to the strain created by a difficult opening and suggests the driver is contending with a testing period as results falter. By describing Alonso’s state so starkly, Newey draws attention to the pressure surrounding the team’s early form and the challenge of resetting confidence after such a tough beginning.
