I’m not above a TikTok food trend. I’ve tried the surprisingly delicious overnight Weetabix and the viral Italian wedding soup, and have yet to be let down.

I regularly make some version of “brothy rice”, too.

So, despite its somewhat silly name, I’m more than willing to give its newest trend, dubbed “frambled eggs”, a go.

The name is a portmanteau of “fried” and “scrambled”.

Kait, the apparent originator of “frambled eggs”, made them by beginning to scramble some eggs in a hot pan and then accidentally leaving a yolk intact.

Deciding to leave it rather than mix the golden centre in with the rest of the dish, she kept it; creamy scrambled eggs acted as a richer “white” surrounding the runny centre.

The TikTok creator, however, didn’t name “frambled eggs” – that honour goes to commenter @bunnymuffintime, who wrote, “omg… a frambled egg”.

“Didn’t even know this was an option,” another commenter shared underneath the viral clip, which has racked up 1.3 million likes and over 20 million views as of the time of writing.

It’s more about the texture than the flavour – runny, golden yolk gives way to a creamy scrambled base.

The yolk crisps up a little more than the scrambled part, too, which makes another nice texture contrast.

I had mine on some avocado, but it’s great on its own too; if you want the creaminess of scrambled eggs and the runniness of fried eggs, I can’t recommend it enough.

Add some butter or oil to a pan on a medium to low heat. Full disclosure: I didn’t use enough, which meant the eggs stuck to the pan a bit. Learn from my mistakes!

Then, crack two eggs straight into the hot pan. Don’t scramble them first.

Using a spatula, scramble the whites and one yolk carefully around the yolk of one egg. Drag the cooking egg away from the sides of the yolk you want to keep, using the flat edge of your spatula.

Flip that yolk halfway through, Kait, the inventor of the recipe, suggested.

I did try to skip that because the yolk is so delicate, but it’s a necessary step; unlike a fried egg, “frambled eggs” don’t have long to cook, because the scrambled part would become rubbery if left too long.

She adds salt and pepper at the very end. I put it in at the beginning, but I can’t see it making much difference.

This article contains spoilers for the new season of Virgin River.

If you’ve already binged through the latest season of Virgin River, you’ll have seen the show’s steamiest scene yet between Brady and Brie, played by Ben Hollingsworth and Zibby Allen.

The memorable sequence towards the end of the new episodes sees Brady and Brie having sex on top of his motorbike, putting an end to two seasons’ worth of back-and-forth about whether the characters would ever get together.

And while the scene has gone down well with fans of the escapist Netflix series, Ben has admitted that shooting it was no picnic.

“The human body is not meant to have sex on a motorcycle,” he told Entertainment Weekly, claiming his “back hurt for weeks” once filming was done.

Ben recalled: “I was arching my back over that thing. Talk about an ab workout … It might’ve translated as pleasure or lust on screen, but Ben Hollingsworth was in pain!”

He added: “There’s an abandon with Brady and Brie that’s raw sexy, unlike Mel and Jack or other couples on the show. The spontaneity is also representational of their relationship. It was spontaneous on day one, and it didn’t add up or make sense on paper. It just works.

“That scene encapsulates that, because we had the pool table in season six, and that was a pretty epic moment, and the way it was pitched to me was, ‘This scene would make the pool table blush’.”

Virgin River has already been commissioned for an eighth season, with the latest run of episodes culminating in Brady having an accident on his motorbike.

While Ben told Entertainment Weekly that he already knows his character, he’s keeping schtum for the time being.

Series regular Tim Matheson recently teased to Tech Radar: “We’ve just had little rough discussions about season eight, so we know vaguely what’s going to happen, but mostly only with our characters.

“I mean, they don’t discuss in detail about what’s going to happen to everybody. You just have to wait and see until you get a script.”

All seven seasons of Virgin River are now streaming on Netflix.

Donald Trump has blamed Keir Starmer for the breakdown in UK-US relations in yet another bizarre rant.

The US president said the two countries got on well “until Keir came along” as he once again hit out at the prime minister’s response to the Iran war.

Trump also repeated his observation that Starmer is “not Winston Churchill” as he pointed at a bust of the wartime leader in the Oval Office.

It is the latest in a succession of attacks on Starmer by the president since America and Israel started bombing Iran more than a fortnight ago.

He has made clear his anger that the PM initially refused his request for American jets to use RAF bases to launch their missions.

Trump has also accused Britain of turning down a request to send two aircraft carriers to the Gulf – a claim which has been denied by senior government sources.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, he said: “We have a tremendous, long-term relationship with the UK. It’s the oldest, the longest. Should be the best. Always was the best until Keir came along.”

He also attacked the Labour government’s policies on immigration and shifting from fossil fuels to green energy.

Asked if he had confidence in the prime minister, Trump said: “It’s not for me, it’s really for the people of the UK to have confidence.

“I mean, I’ve been very critical of Keir – and I did it in a friendly way – I said, if you don’t change your energy thing and get away from windmills and go back to oil and gas.

“You have something that no other country has, very few countries have anything like it: the North Sea.

“You have some of the greatest oil and oil deposits in the entire world. The North Sea, they don’t use it.”

He added: “I think he’s a nice man, but I disagree with him on two things.

“Primarily his immigration policy is a disaster, and his energy policy is a disaster – and they’re about the biggest policies you can have.

“You’ve allowed millions and millions and millions of people to come into your country that shouldn’t be there. And, by the way, that’s all over Europe.

Downing Street has been asked to respond to the president’s latest comments.

Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch has slammed Trump for his “childish” attacks on Starmer.

She said she found Trump’s remarks “quite shocking”.

“I’m Keir Starmer’s biggest critic, I think he does a lot of things wrong, I think on this he’s been quite slow.

“I think it’s quite childish as well, a war of words between the White House and Downing Street.”

We’re getting closer to British Summer Time (BST), which kicks in on 29 March.

It always happens on the last Sunday of March. And while some argue daylight saving time helps to reduce car accidents, it’s also been linked to worse sleep and higher incidences of heart attack and stroke.

To help you navigate it as successfully as possible (with minimal disruption to sleep), Dr Tim Mercer, an NHS GP partner and GP trainer with Opera Beds, has shared some tips for managing the shift.

Eating too close to your bedtime can “significantly impact the quality of sleep, particularly the deeper and more restorative phases such as deep and REM sleep,” psychologist Dr Leah Kaylor told HuffPost UK previously.

And Dr Mercer said that when the clocks change, our eating window should, too.

“On Sunday, 29th March, eat dinner an hour earlier than usual,” he suggested.

“Where we’re losing an hour, eating too close to your bedtime can disturb your sleep and cause indigestion.”

Sure, you could stick to the same bedtime in the lead-up to the clock change and then shift to the hour change in one go. But as someone who’s done that in the past and regretted it, I’m willing to give Dr Mercer’s advice a try this year.

“As the clocks go forward and we move into British Summer Time, we lose an hour of sleep, which can upset our internal body clock. If you have a good sleep routine, you may consider moving it forward by 10-15 minutes in the days leading up to the change,” he suggested.

“This slow adjustment will help ease your body into the new schedule, reducing the shock to your system.”

Sunlight can help to regulate our circadian rhythm, or sleep-wake cycle, which can suffer during clock changes.

And morning sunlight in particular seems to be uniquely good at the job.

“Exposure to natural sunlight in the morning can help reset your internal clock. Light is one of the most powerful signals for regulating the circadian rhythm, so spending time outside in the early daylight hours can help your body adjust more quickly,” Dr Marcer explained.

Exercise is great for sleeping well – half an hour a day will likely land you results that same night.

“Longer daylight hours provide more opportunities for outdoor activity, which can benefit your sleep,” said Dr Mercer.

“Engage in regular exercise, such as walks or outdoor sports, but avoid vigorous activity too close to bedtime, as this can be stimulating.”

This article features advice from Dr Tom Nutt, of Meningitis Now, Professor Adam Finn of the University of Bristol, and Professor Emma Wall, clinical professor of infectious diseases at Queen Mary University of London.

The meningitis outbreak among students in Kent has included cases of B meningococcal disease, sometimes known as MenB,

On Tuesday, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said it was continuing to investigate the outbreak – with four laboratory cases confirmed and 11 under investigation. This includes two people who have died.

Group B meningococcal disease can cause serious illness, including severe inflammation of the brain membrane (meningitis) and blood poisoning (septicaemia), which can prove fatal.

Meningitis most commonly occurs in babies, young children, teens and young adults.

There are three vaccines which protect against the main causes of meningitis.

The MenB vaccine is offered to infants at eight weeks, 16 weeks and one year of age, as part of routine NHS vaccinations – this came into play in 2015 so anyone under 10 has some protection.

Babies are also given the pneumococcal vaccine at 16 weeks and one year.

The MenACWY vaccine protects teenagers against four types of bacteria linked to meningitis and is usually given in school during Year 9 (when kids are aged 13-14).

But the latter vaccine doesn’t protect teens from MenB, experts have warned.

Most teenagers and adults aren’t protected against it unless they’ve paid privately for a vaccine on the high street.

Meningitis Now’s chief executive Dr Tom Nutt noted there are “gaps” in the NHS immunisation schedule, particularly around MenB.

“We are campaigning for the MenB vaccination to be made more widely available to those at risk, especially teenagers and young adults,” he told HuffPost UK.

He noted that vaccines “are the only way to prevent meningitis” – that said, he caveated that “vaccines do not protect against all causes of meningitis and no vaccine is 100% effective”.

Prof Adam Finn, Professor Emeritus of Paediatrics at University of Bristol, added that protection from the vaccine “lasts for some years, but not forever”.

The MenB vaccines also do not “reduce carriage and transmissions of the bacterium,” he noted, meaning you could have the vaccine and still carry or transmit the bacteria to others.

Ultimately, it’s important that people make themselves aware of the signs and symptoms of meningitis, and to get immediate medical help if they suspect themselves or a loved one could have it.

Symptoms of meningitis can come on very quickly and be easily mistaken for flu or a bad cold, or even the after-effects of a night out, Dr Nutt previously told us.

Early symptoms, which may not always be present, include:

• a rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass
• sudden onset of high fever
• severe and worsening headache
• stiff neck
• vomiting and diarrhoea
• joint and muscle pain
• dislike of bright lights
• very cold hands and feet
• seizures
• confusion/delirium
• extreme sleepiness/difficulty waking

Anyone with these symptoms is urged to seek medical help immediately by contacting a GP, calling NHS 111 or dialling 999 in an emergency.

“Despite what has happened in Kent, we would like to reiterate that meningitis is a relatively rare disease,” said Dr Nutt.

“In the long-run, the good news is that the NHS vaccination programme has been very successful in bringing down the number of cases of meningitis in the UK.”

The charity’s “No Plan B for MenB” campaign calls for three changes to offer greater protection to the public.

These include: a MenB vaccination given to all those at most risk of disease; a MenB booster programme to protect adolescents by 2030; and availability of the MenB vaccination on the high street at a fair price.

Health officials are continuing to monitor the situation in Kent.

UKHSA confirmed a small targeted vaccination programme will begin among students resident at Canterbury Campus Halls of Residence at the University of Kent.

Professor Emma Wall, clinical professor of infectious diseases at Queen Mary University of London, explained that UKHSA might do this to “reduce the risk of a further outbreak, or shut down transmission (so-called ring vaccination)”.

The vaccination programme may be expanded further as UKHSA continues to asses ongoing risk.

As some of the cases visited Club Chemistry in Canterbury between 5-7 March prior to becoming unwell, UKHSA is urging anyone who visited the club during this time to come forward for preventative antibiotic treatment as a precautionary measure.

HuffPost UK has contacted the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) about whether there are plans to add Men B to the routine teen vaccine.

National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigned abruptly on Tuesday in protest of President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, now in its third week, accusing Israel of repeatedly luring the United States into conflicts.

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent said in his resignation letter to Trump.

He criticised Israel in harsh and at times feverish terms, bizarrely accusing the country of also being responsible for US involvement in the 2003 Iraq War and of “manufacturing” the Syrian civil war.

A political appointee who was confirmed last summer, Kent served under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a longtime critic of overseas military entanglements who has nonetheless been silent on Trump’s decision to start another war in the Middle East.

Trump has struggled to explain why he agreed to attack Iran when he did, alluding to vague threats the nation posed to US interests, as Americans start seeing higher costs at home. Thirteen US service members have been killed and around 200 injured in the conflict so far.

Kent said in his letter that he supported “the values and foreign policies” that Trump campaigned on in his past three presidential campaigns. Trump went so far as to dub himself the “President of Peace” in the last election cycle.

Kent believes, however, that “high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined” Trump’s platform and “sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran.”

He went on, delving deeper into the supposed conspiracy: “This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women.”

“You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos,” Kent wrote. “You hold the cards.”

Kent is a military veteran with 11 combat deployments under his belt. His wife, Shannon, was working in Navy intelligence when she was killed in Syria in 2019.

He mentioned both of these facts in his letter, saying that he “cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson pushed back on the letter’s contents.

“I don’t know where Joe Kent is getting his information,” Johnson told reporters.

He said that he attended national security meetings with other Gang of Eight lawmakers — top Republicans and Democrats in both chambers of Congress — and that the group was shown evidence of an imminent threat.

But Democratic Senator Mark Warner, who was also in the meetings, has said that was not the case.

Taylor Budowich, a former deputy chief of staff in the Trump White House, smeared Kent as a “crazed egomaniac who was often at the centre of national security leaks, while rarely (never?) producing any actual work.”

“This isn’t some principled resignation — he just wanted to make a splash before getting canned. What a loser,” Budowich said on X.
