In his resignation letter, Mr Streeting blamed the “unprecedented” election results in part on “the unpopularity of this Government”, adding: “There are many reasons we could point to: from individual mistakes on policy like the decision to cut the winter fuel allowance to the ‘island of strangers’ speech, all of which have left the country not knowing who we are or what we really stand for.”

Liam Rush handed himself into the police hours after fatally stabbing Granville Graham

A man has admitted to stabbing a man at a Cambridge hostel in a “tragic and deeply distressing incident”. Liam Rush, 31, stabbed Granville Graham, 58, multiple times in his bedroom at the Chesterton Road hostel where they both lived at around 1am on February 25 2025.

Rush left the scene after the incident. Eight hours later, he arrived at Parkside Police Station to hand himself in to police.

He admitted to murder at Peterborough Crown Court on Thursday (May 14). Rush is due to be sentenced on Wednesday, July 8.

Detective Inspector Caeva Taylor, from the Major Crime Unit, said: “This was a tragic and deeply distressing incident, our thoughts remain with Granville’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.”

In a statement, Granville’s family said: “Granville, talented barber and singer, was a special soul with an infectious, happy-go-lucky spirit that brightened the lives of everyone around him.

“Known for his incredible sense of humour, he could effortlessly make others laugh. His selflessness and willingness to help anyone in need made him a true source of support for many.

“He leaves behind nine sisters, one brother, eight children, one grandchild and countless family and friends who loved him dearly. His passing has left a hole in our hearts and the hearts of communities in Cambridge, London and Jamaica.”

It’s that time again, when the week’s drawing to a close and we’re all busy planning our weekend viewing.

It’s going to be a busy couple of days on the box, with the likes of the FA Cup and Eurovision taking centre stage, but if you’re after something a little different there’s no need to worry as Netflix will have you covered.

This week’s top five most-watched chart really does have something for everyone, whether you’re into romcom, true crime or fancy a few action thrills.

But can Man On Fire hang in there in the top spot or has something else blazed a path to the top? Let’s take a look at the five shows you’ve all been watching…

5. If Wishes Could Kill – 3,600,000 views

Kicking off this week’s countdown is this YA horror series from South Korea, a cautionary saga which suggests you should be careful what you wish for.

If Wishes Could Kill follows five high school students who discover a mobile app called Gringo, which claims to make its users’ wishes come true.

However, things quickly turn more sinister after a classmate dies unexpectedly, and the students discover that the app is predicting their deaths too — leaving them to uncover the truth behind Gringo before anybody else meets their maker.

It’s a familiar enough storyline, one which has sparked the inevitable comparisons to the Final Destination movies, but this is scary and engaging enough to be worth your while.

4. My Royal Nemesis – 3,900,000 views

From horror to romcom now with this royal-themed miniseries, also from South Korea, taking the crown for the most watched non-English language show of the week.

My Royal Nemesis blends time-travel fantasy and comedy to tell the story of a legendary villainess from the country’s Joseon dynasty, whose soul is transferred into the present day, landing in the body of an aspiring actress.

As she gradually takes over her host and adapts to modern life, matters are further complicated when she crosses paths with a ruthless tycoon. Cue love-hate dynamics galore.

3. Worst Ex Ever: Season 2 – 8,000,000 views

Shocking true crime series Worst Ex Ever – focusing on disturbing accounts of domestic violence and coercive control – was such a big hit when it dropped on Netflix in 2024, reaching the top 10 charts in 65 countries, that it’s on surprise to see it return.

As with the first series, it focuses on four particular cases, including the story of Kelly and ‘perfect man’ Wade, who turned out to be anything but, and a former 90-Day Fiance star hiding a dark secret from his girlfriend.

We also meet Katie, whose girlfriend Joyce revealed herself to have violent control issues, as well as Karen, who filed a restraining order against her partner Scott, only for him to enact a terrifying revenge.

It’s far from easy viewing – in fact it’s utterly chilling at times – but this is compelling stuff that deserves all the praise it’s had from viewers.

2. Should I Marry A Murderer? – 8,000,000 views

More true crime now, with this one hanging in there in the runners-up spot for a second week.

Should I Marry A Murderer? is a British documentary series which tells the true story of Caroline Muirhead, a pathologist whose fiance, Alexander ‘Sandy’ McKellar, confessed to her in 2020 that he had been involved in a fatal hit and run accident three years earlier.

The series documents how the couple met on Tinder, his subsequent confession and how Caroline became a ‘fiancee turned key witness’ when she stayed engaged to Alexander while gathering evidence against him.

1. Man On Fire – 12,600,000 views

Spending a second week in pole position, it’s the small screen remake of 2004 Denzel Washington thriller Man on Fire — and the show just keeps on racking up viewers, adding a massive 12 million to its tally over the past few days.

Both the TV show and film are based on A.J. Quinnell’s 1980 novel of the same name, with The Watchmen’s Yahya Abdul-Mateen ll taking over where Washington left off as the fearsome but fragile bodyguard John Creasy.

With a 60 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this one’s proved more of a hit with critics than the movie, which scored just 39 per cent, with Abdul-Mateen’s performance coming in for particular praise.

The question is — will its run at number one be extinguished next week?

Members of North Yorkshire Council’s Hambleton area planning committee today (Thursday, May 14) voted in favour of an application to redevelop the former Hambleton District Council offices at Stone Cross in Northallerton.

The proposal will see the offices demolished and the plot redeveloped into a three-storey specialist care facility for elderly residents.

The plans have been submitted by LNT Care Developments Ltd.

The care home will include 66 ensuite bedrooms, communal lounges, a coffee bar, library, garden room, tearoom, sky bar and landscaped gardens for residents.

Plans also include 25 parking spaces, electric vehicle charging points, cycle storage and ancillary buildings.

Great Ayton councillor, Heather Moorhouse, was one of several councillors who said they thought the parking was insufficient.

She said: “There’s not enough car parking to satisfy me that people can go along there and visit their relatives.

“I do support the whole scheme, it’s fantastic, but that’s a problem that I’ve got.”

Councillor Bryn Griffiths, member for Stokesley, added: “My main concern comes down to this issue of parking.

“I’ve spent a lot of time visiting my wife in a similar facility and parking is an issue. There are visitors coming to visit their relatives in the residence, there’s tradesmen coming, contractors coming to do work, health care people arriving, social services, etc, etc.

“I feel that 25 park parking spaces from my own experience will be insufficient.”

But Councillor Steve Watson, member for the Northallerton North and Brompton division, said motorists could park in the parking area serving the next-door leisure centre if needed.

He said: “It’s a good quality application and delivers really what the area needs.

“The fact that there only appears to be one local objection really says it all.”

The existing civic centre building became vacant following local government reorganisation and the creation of North Yorkshire Council.

Officers said the current office building was “of no particular architectural merit” and its demolition was considered acceptable.

North Yorkshire Council, which owns the building, received nine bids when the site was marketed, with none of these bids proposing to keep the existing building.

The sale of the site to the care home operator was described as a “win, win, win” situation by deputy leader Gareth Dadd when agreed last year.
