Lindsay Blake, a watch manager with County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service, began her career in 2009, driven by a passion for helping others.

After 15 years as a firefighter, she transitioned into a role with the brigade’s Business Fire Safety Team.

However, she soon found the work—which involves concentrating on legal documents for long periods of time—particularly challenging.

Ms Blake said: “Business Fire Safety is built around legislation, so attention to detail is key.

“The qualifications that you need to carry out the role were challenging and it was after I completed these that I realised I may be neurodiverse.

“That’s why I decided to go and get tested for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and dyslexia.”

The diagnosis has since helped her better understand herself and the support available to help her manage her workload.

Ms Blake said: “Understanding my ADHD it has given me the skillset I needed to be able to manage at work and organise myself better.

“Just because I am neurodiverse doesn’t mean I can’t do different roles in the Service, it just means I need to find different ways to manage myself.”

She hopes that sharing her story during Neurodiversity Celebration Week (March 16 to 20) will encourage others to seek support at work if they need it.

Ms Blake said: “Everyone is different and has different skillsets.

“Just because someone doesn’t think and act like you, it doesn’t mean they can’t do the job.

“I would encourage everyone to be understanding and embrace our differences.

“I’d also urge anyone who is neurodivergent, or think they might be, to be open about the things that you struggle with at work so your line manager support you and look at other ways tailored to you to achieve the same objectives.”

The move comes a day after queues at the main vaccination centre stretched back for half a mile on Friday, with some students left waiting in line for seven hours

NHS bosses have brought in extra staff to work at its largest meningitis vaccination centre following reports students were queuing for up to seven hours for the jab.

More than 700 people were estimated to have been treated at the pop-up clinic inside the University of Kent’s sports centre on Saturday morning. Some waited outside from as early as 5am, but the queue moved considerably faster than in previous days and by 11.15am there was no queue, allowing patients to go straight inside.

It came after officials announced the number of cases has risen to 34, up from 29 on Friday. They include 23 confirmed infections and 11 under investigation, as well as the deaths of 18-year-old Juliette Kenny and a 21-year-old University of Kent student.

On Friday, queues at the same centre stretched back for half a mile before around 200 people at the back, including some who had been waiting for three hours, had to be turned away. Among them was second year student Archie Corke, 20, from Whitstable, Kent, who returned early on Saturday morning for another go.

He said: “We got here yesterday about 12.30pm and the queue was huge. We got in the back of it and waited. But at 3.15pm they stopped the queue in front of us.” Asked if he found it frustrating he said: “A little bit, but we got here at 8am today. We’ve only had to wait two hours. It’s moved a lot quicker than yesterday.”

Another student who got the jab with a friend on Saturday morning, said: “We arrived at 7am and there were still 30 to 40 people ahead of us. We waited for two hours until the centre opened at 9am.

“I was at Club Chemistry that night so I wanted to get the vaccine. We’ve had the antibiotics already. We just want to be safe.”

The student, who asked not to be named, added: “We know someone, a friend, who was ill. She had to have a spinal tap. She was in hospital for six days, but they now think it was something else and not contagious. She’s fine now.”

Patients are attending four vaccination clinics, including two in Canterbury and others in Ashford and Faversham. Health officials are considering opening a fifth this weekend to meet demand. Professor Georgina Randsley de Moura Video, Acting Vice Chancellor posted on university social media on Friday: “This has been an incredibly difficult week for our university community. My deepest sympathies go out to everyone affected.

“We are all feeling the devastating loss of a student, and we continue to hold those in hospital in our thoughts, along with their loved ones. I want to thank the NHS and all those caring for our students and staff.” She added: “Public health advice remains clear. Meningitis spreads through close and prolonged contact, and those most at risk are being contacted directly. Please continue to follow NHS and UKHSA guidance.

“We know this has been a worrying time. Support is available, and I encourage anyone who needs it to reach out. Thank you for the care and compassion you have shown one another. Please stay vigilant and continue to look out for each other.”

Earlier on Friday, a public health official had warned that the terrifying outbreak could get even worse. Asked whether the outbreak may not yet have peaked, Professor Dr Anjan Ghosh, Kent County Council Director of Public Health, said: “I would say yes to that. There might be more cases. We don’t know and we won’t know for sure until next week. It takes about four weeks for this thing to really subside.”

Prof Ghosh said the most likely scenario now was that small outbreaks would develop in parts of the country outside Kent due to students returning home for Easter. He said: “If they were incubating the disease when they left and then caused some cases, there may be small sporadic household clusters elsewhere.”

The disease’s incubation period can be up to 10 days. Prof Ghosh added that this outbreak was highly unusual for its speed and intensity. He explained: “It’s never happened that we’ve had so many cases at such a pace. It could be there is something different about this particular strain, but that is only my personal opinion.”

He added that the bulk of cases were young people, with the median age around 18 to 26. Officials have set up contact tracing for more than 10,000 people after identifying a “super-spreader event” at a nightclub in Canterbury earlier this month.

On Thursday, officials widened the offer of vaccines and medicines to anyone who visited Club Chemistry in the city from March 5 to 15, in a bid to stop the spread. It emerged that an infected patient may have returned to the nightclub for a second visit, potentially infecting other clubbers. Previously, only those who visited on March 5, 6 and 7 were included in the offer, but officials cannot be sure whether the patient was infectious on their second visit.

Images posted on Club Chemistry’s Facebook account since the nights in question show young clubbers partying while holding each other and even kissing – one of the main ways the bacterial disease is thought to spread. Some 6,500 doses of the meningitis vaccine have so far been delivered to Kent and Medway from the national stock. Officials requested another 5,000 doses yesterday morning and say they have plenty of supplies.

Asked whether the vaccination programme should be rolled out to include younger teenagers, Clare Winslade, consultant in Health Protection, UK Health Security Agency South East, said the decision would be made by a panel of government experts. She said: “They have been asked to consider it. I think it’s really important we wait for the expert committee.”

A 44-year-old man remains in critical condition after his electric mountain bike collided with a van on Old Dalkeith Road.

A man has been left fighting for his life after an electric bike crash with a van in Dalkeith.

Emergency services raced to the scene on the A6106 Old Dalkeith Road at around 1.40pm on Friday, March 20, after reports that an electric mountain bike had collided with a white Ford Transit van.

The 44-year-old cyclist was taken to hospital where medics say he remains in a critical condition. The driver of the van was not injured and did not require medical treatment.

The road was shut for a period while specialist officers carried out collision investigations.

Police are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash-cam footage from the area to come forward.

Sergeant Mike Nash said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to contact us with any information.

“If anyone has dash-cam footage, please check it as it could have captured images which could assist our enquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 1660 of Friday, March 20, 2026.

The 46-year-old was described as a doting father, in good spirits and despite past troubles with alcohol and drugs, had been the best “in years”, his family told Stockport Coroner’s Court heard.

Hatton took his daughters and granddaughter out to a pub for a meal on the evening of Friday September 12 last year, the court heard.

He appeared normal and after dropping them off told them he would see them in a couple of days after a trip to Dubai where he was due to take part in an exhibition boxing match, the court heard.

But he failed to attend an engagement on Saturday and at 6.30am on the Sunday morning, his manager Paul Speak arrived at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, to take him take him to the airport to catch the flight to Dubai.

Hatton was found unresponsive in the upstairs games room at his house. The inquest concluded the official cause of death was hanging.

Tests showed the former Dancing On Ice contestant was “well over” the drink-drive limit at the time of his death. Traces of previous use of cocaine and cannabis were also found.

And post-mortem evidence showed some damage to his brain identified as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) associated with boxing.

Alison Mutch, senior coroner for South Manchester, told the court, attended by the boxer’s father, son and ex-partner and mother of his daughters, that no notes had been found from Hatton and there was no information uncovered by police to suggest he was planning to take his own life.

Concluding the inquest, she said: “He had made significant future plans and no notes were found indicating he intended to take his own life.

“I have listened very carefully to all the evidence. When I add everything together, I cannot be satisfied he intended to take his own life.

“Therefore, it is not possible in law for me to conclude suicide. I have concluded a narrative verdict.

“His intention remains unclear as he was under the influence of alcohol and the neuropathological post-mortem found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy and that’s the conclusion I draw.”

Hatton’s son Campbell broke down in tears at the conclusion of the inquest and was hugged by his grandfather, Ray Hatton, 75.

Earlier Campbell Hatton described his father in a statement to the hearing as a “laid back” man but when it came to sport was always “hugely determined.”

He added: “He lived life – in and out of the ring – at 110 per cent and always said he never regretted it. He was always generous with people. He was always extremely well loved and cherished by all of us.”

Campbell Hatton said his father had been open in the past about his struggles with alcohol and drugs.

But he added: “We felt he was in the best place he had been in recent years.

“The family believe he was the best he had been in years and made massive plans for the future which leads us to believe this was not premeditated.

“However, over the last two or three years we all noticed a significant decline in his short-term memory.

“He repeated himself constantly, had to write things down and had to be reminded about things he had to do day to day.

Jennifer Dooley, mother of his daughters, Millie, 13, Fearne, 12, and who was Hatton’s partner for 11 years until 2016, said he was a very hands-on father who doted on his children, and they all continued to spend time together after the split.

“He often said that the time he spent with his daughter was when he was happiest,” she said.

Hatton took his daughters and granddaughter, Lyla, for dinner at a local pub on the Friday night before his death.

When he said goodbye, he told them he would see them in a couple of days on his return from Dubai, the inquest heard.

Detective Sergeant Helen Grigalis, from Greater Manchester Police, told the hearing Hatton returned home after the meal at around 7.55pm.

He sent a message to a friend at 8.05pm and his phone last unlocked at 12.02am early on Saturday September 13, with no further use after that time.

Hatton had been due to attend a boxing bout on Saturday in Bolton for a fighter he had trained.

Det Sgt Grigalis said at 5.30pm a driver had arrived at Hatton’s house to take him to the event, but got no reply. The same driver returned at 7.30pm but again got no reply and left.

Hatton’s manager Paul Speak went to the house about 6.30am on the Sunday to take the boxer to the airport for his flight to Dubai, but also got no reply at the door.

After letting himself in with his own key, Mr Speak found Hatton unresponsive in the upstairs games room.

Hatton was fully dressed. On the pool table was an empty bottle of wine and a half-full glass of wine was on the bar.

The lights were off but music was playing from a TV.

No notes were found.

Police and ambulance were called, who “confirmed life extinct”, but could not say when Hatton had died, the inquest heard.

The house was secure with no signs of a disturbance.

The officer said there was no evidence of suicidal ideation, adding Hatton not answering his door or phone was not unusual and did not cause suspicion.

Toxicologist Dr Stephanie Martin, who carried out blood and urine tests found the alcohol in his system was well over twice the drink-drive limit.

There was also evidence of previous cocaine use, but not in the hours before death, and also traces of cannabis, but the inquest heard the use of drugs was unlikely to have contributed to death.

Dr Neil Papworth, who carried out the post-mortem examination, found the cause of death to be consistent with hanging.

However, analysis of Hatton’s brain showed, ‘degenerative changes’ associated with people older than the boxer, and often associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

He said overall the changes seen were suggestive of CTE associated with repeated trauma to the brain, but at the milder end of the spectrum resulting in memory loss and cognitive impairment.

None of the damage to Hatton’s brain could be said to have contributed to his death, the pathologist said.

Ms Dooley’s statement said Hatton’s children has been deeply affected, the girls still sleeping in his T-shirts and spraying his aftershave.

She added: “They miss their dad deeply. They are heartbroken. His loss has left a significant and lasting hole in our family.”

The gangster visited clubs in Europe after taking over as capo of the Rangers ultras.

Mob boss Ross McGill transformed the Union Bears from a ragtag bunch with a handful of followers into the ‘biggest group in the UK’ after visiting clubs in Europe.

A former member of the Rangers ultra group explained to the Record how McGill, 32, took over as capo of the group at the age of 18 and was determined to make them a bigger outfit than the Green Brigade.

The source revealed how the mobster visited clubs in Europe to learn his trade but this led to him getting involved in criminality after he hooked up with ultras in Denmark.

He said: “McGill had been with the Union Bears for a few years before he was made leader and his main focus at first was just to outshine Celtic’s group.

“He knew he had to learn fast so decided to start visiting clubs across Europe, and would just reach out to the ultras and pitch up alone.

“Rangers have a historical link with Hamburg SV in Germany and he went over there around 20 times and built up close ties with the Chosen Few ultras.

“It was on these visits that McGill learned about creating full-scale displays and how a capo should operate with thousands of ultras at his command.

“They told him the best times to start songs and the sort of melodies that are good for getting the full stadium to join in with the group.

“He just watched and learned and drank in everything around him and it was off the back off these visits that the Union Bears really started to take off as a group.

“The youths within the Rangers support signed up in thousands and by the time McGill was 21 in 2015 he was arguably leading the biggest ultra group in the UK.”

His visits to Denmark to hang around the Chilltras and Urban Crew ultras of FC Copenhagen went a long way to inspiring his criminal enterpise.

McGill had been working at a Royal Mail sorting office to fund his trips abroad and struggling to make ends meet up until that point.

But soon after visiting Denmark he started to sell drugs and use his position as capo to build up a huge drugs operation.

The source continued “Some of the guys he met in Denmark are very serious players .

“McGill noticed these guys over there flashing the cash and wearing designer clothes and wanted a piece of the action.

“Within a year or two he was driving around in his hometown East Kilbride in fancy motors and expensive off-road vehicles.

“It is a fairly common occurrence in Europe for capos of ultra groups to get involved in organised crime, especially in Italy,

“These capos have thousands of young people under their control so it is all too easy for them to find willing candidates to start selling drugs for them.”

McGill continued as the leader of the Union Bears for a number of years and as the group flourished so did his criminal enterpise.

However, by 2021 the authorities were closing in after the EncroChat phone network he was using was hacked by police.

Fearing arrest he stood down from the group and fled Scotland in 2022.

Diego Garcia, a sprawling military HQ in the Indian Ocean, has been identified as a pressure point by Iran after the UK allowed the US to use its Middle Eastern bases in its war

Iran fired missiles at Diego Garcia, the UK’s controversial island military base it shares with the US, in a 2,000-mile attempted overnight raid, officials have confirmed.

The Middle Eastern nation let loose two intermediate-range ballistic missiles aimed at the Indian Ocean base, which is 2,500 miles away, overnight on Friday. One of the missiles failed mid-air, while another was downed by a US warship, which fired an SM-3 Interceptor at the second missile.

While it may have failed, the attempted raid – which came after the UK allowed the US to use its bases to attack Iran – has yet again spotlighted the base, which has become a flashpoint in UK-US relations since Donald Trump returned to the White House last year.

Personnel

Diego Garcia is a remote British Overseas Territory that is off-limits to most civilians, and has been wrapped in secrets for decades since it was established in 1960. It is administered from London, but most of its personnel and resources are administered by US officials.

Despite its strategice importance, only a few hundred military personnel are stationed on the base full time, split across the US Air Force, US Navy, and British forces.

Total personnel number at 360, the bulk of which come from the USN and USAF – which consist of 280 and 40 people respectively – while there are 40 “Brit Forces” personnel. The UK has historically kept “a very limited number of British military personnel” on the base, and rarely changes these numbers.

The civilian population is far higher, with US base operational personnel numbering at around 1,800, overseas government employees at around 80, and mariners at around 300.

Weaponry and equipment

While it is relatively sparse in terms of total personnel, the island is bristling with military capabilities, again primarily American and serving the US military.

Extensive runways are built to support US B-52 bombers, KC-135 tankers, reconnaissance aircraft and transport planes. Additional supporting structures include radar installations and control towers, with massive storage capabilities mounted on a deep water port capable of docking, resupplying and maintaining naval vessels travelling through the area.

All of this considered, the base is used more as a launchpad, and has played pivotal roles in previous collaborative conflicts like the 1991 Gulf War and Iraq War in 2003.

More recently, US forces used Diego Garcia as a base of operations to launch attacks against the Houthis in Yemen, cementing its modern-day use. As the figures show, the base is skewed heavily towards the US, which is set to continue to use the island as the UK seeks a lease deal.

The Diego Garcia handover row

The Government struck a £3.4 billion deal with the US soon after Keir Starmer arrived at Number 10 that would see the country lease the base to Mauritius.

The lease agreement would give the East African nation sovreignity over the island for 99 years, costing around £101 million per year. US officials, including Donald Trump, agreed the deal secured longterm security for the island, despite sideline snipes from the Conservatives and Reform UK claiming otherwise.

The US backed the deal again in February, but Trump has been characteristically hot-and-cold on the topic, at one point blasting it an “act of GREAT STUPIDITY”, before saying it was the “best” the Prime Minister could make.

He has since called the deal “tenuous at best”, with his flip-flopping leaving the agreement in limbo and Mauritius exploring legal options to force its passage. Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam told local media he is pursuing the action after the issue left his nation with a £160 million budget hole.

He said: “We are exploring legal avenues in the Chagos case. “We are exploring all possible avenues, but clearly the 2026-27 budget will not be an easy one.”

Dr Ben Rush, consultant in communicable disease control at the UKHSA, said: “We continue to remain vigilant for new cases and work closely with NHS England and local authorities across the country to ensure enhanced surveillance is in place. Any new cases will be identified quickly and responded to.

The Welsh actress, 59, is best known for co-creating and starring in the hit BBC series alongside James Corden.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Jones said: “I’ve been and watched Strictly, and it is amazing what people do.

“But it is absolutely not for me.

“They would have to pay me an absolutely ridiculous amount of money – there isn’t a figure.”

She also said she had been approached to star in Celebrity Traitors, the hit BBC reality gameshow,

However, despite loving the programme, she said she prefers to watch it from the comfort of her own home.

She added: “There was a big rumour about me doing it as well.

“The thing is I had sort of been asked about doing it and I love the show and I think it’s amazing, but then I thought I’ll have to put on a wet suit and I’ll have to go in one of them lochs, I’ll get bitten by the midges.

“I’d rather sit in my pyjamas and watch everyone else.”

Jones is known for playing Vanessa “Nessa” Jenkins on the BBC sitcom, and in 2025, she won a Bafta for best female performance in a comedy for her role in the Christmas special, Gavin and Stacey: The Finale.

The episode saw Smithy (Corden) finally decide to marry Nessa (Jones), after aborting his wedding to Sonia at the altar, while Stacey’s mother, Gwen West (Melanie Walters), is revealed to be in a secret relationship with Dave Coaches (Steffan Rhodri).

The characters, however, have never kissed on screen – a decision which Jones and Corden made intentionally.

Jones explained: “James Corden and I couldn’t bear the thought of kissing each other, so that was kind of written into the script.

“We’re like brother and sister, so it would’ve been strange.”

The Jonathan Ross Show airs on Saturday at 10pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Paul Merson has urged Mikel Arteta to stick with the players that have dragged Arsenal to the Carabao Cup final even if it means leaving one of his ‘world class’ stars on the bench.

The Gunners are primed for their first Wembley showpiece in front of their fans since 2017 and hope to complete the first leg of a potential quadruple.

Second choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has played every game en route to the final and was the hero in the penalty shootout win over Crystal Palace in the quarter finals.

The experienced Spain international joined the north London club from Chelsea in the summer but has been forced to play the role of understudy to his compatriot David Raya who has enjoyed another stellar campaign.

Arteta is now faced with a major conundrum ahead of Sunday’s opportunity to end a six-year trophy drought but Merson believes Kepa has earned the right to play and should be trusted to earn a shot at League Cup redemption following several heartbreaking experiences with Chelsea earlier in his career.

‘Arsenal have that swagger about them,’ Merson, who was man of the match in the final against Sheffield Wednesday back in 1993, the last time Arsenal won this competition, told Sportskeeda.

‘They know they are good. Eberechi Eze likes playing at Wembley too. He scored in the final and lifted the FA Cup with Crystal Palace at Wembley last season. I think he keeps his place in the starting line-up for this game.

‘I have a feeling Mikel Arteta will go with Leandro Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres to form the attacking quartet for Arsenal with Eze. Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi will sit behind them in midfield.

‘The big decision that Arsenal need to make is whether they go with Kepa Arrizabalaga or David Raya in goal.

‘Kepa has been first-choice in the Carabao Cup and I think they should stick with him. It’s only fair because he played well and got you to this stage.

Declan Rice and Thierry Henry praise David Raya

Declan Rice: He deserves every bit of credit he’s getting. I wish people could come in every day and see how he trains. Because the intensity he trains at and the level that he trains at there’s no reason why he’s not doing what he’s doing on the pitch it’s incredible to see him every day. The effort he makes with the lads, he’s turned into a real leader for us and when you’ve got a keeper like that it gives everyone confidence and yes, he’s incredible.’

Thierry Henry:  ‘This guy should be in contention to be player of the season because of what he does for Arsenal every single time. It’s very difficult sometimes to see what a goalkeeper does because he cannot always make you win the game. He can make you hope that you’re not losing it by making saves, but he does that two to three times every single game. It’s just outstanding.’

‘But I must admit, Raya is world-class! The saves he made against Everton and Leverkusen, absolutely phenomenal.

‘However, if I were the manager, I would still stick to my principles and choose Kepa as the keeper for the final.

‘He’s not let the team down in this competition and deserves to start.’

Arsenal hold a measure of momentum heading into Sunday’s showdown and haven’t been beaten by their opponents in nearly three years.

Merson admits the contest is almost too tight to call but has backed his old side to come out on top and keep alive hopes of an unprecedented clean sweep of the major honours.

He added: ‘The Premier League leaders will want this to be a dull game because it suits them. If it becomes end to end, City have a chance in my opinion.

‘If I had to pick a team, I would go Arsenal. However, that doesn’t mean it will be easy. We know Manchester City can play and if they get going, they can hurt any team.

‘I believe the quadruple dream is still very much on if the Gunners win this final. The Premier League is done and dusted, they have a good draw in the FA Cup and face Sporting in the Champions League quarter-final.

‘I know they could face Barcelona or Atletico in the semi-final, but we all know how difficult they are to beat as a unit. So I’m not giving up hopes!’
