On this day: Elvington brewery wins House of Commons contract
On this day in 2015, the York Press reported that a beer brewed near York would be served in the corridors of power. Elvington-based Hop Studio secured a contract to supply 50,000 bottles of its 'Porter' beer to the House of Commons over two years. The beer was to go on sale in three House of Commons shops, and in the House of Commons' catering facilities, in specially-designed labels under the name 'Treason.' Dave Shaw, founder and owner of the brewery, said the name would create a link to Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, completing the link to York. Mr Shaw said: "We're really happy with it. The beer was to be specially branded as 'Treason,' in a nod to the Gunpowder Plot and to York-born Guy Fawkes "It was advertised as a contract, and it was a public sector tender, so quite a complicated process. "We did a pitch at the beginning of June and designed some labels. "We picked three beers and they have selected one. "We will brew it in August to get it into their shops for mid-October, then there is also a Christmas fair they do in November, and a tasting with MPs at the beginning of December. "It was advertised nationally, so I imagine breweries from all over the country have a go. "They whittled it down to five, which meant we went to pitch in the Palace of Westminster and as a result we are one of two supplying the beers. "The other is Windsor and Eton, who are supplying two. "We're delighted really. "It's a good prestigious contract. "It will be co-branded as Hop Studio and the House of Commons, and it's quite a good marketing opportunity, showing that we can do these sorts of contracts." At the original time of reporting in 2015, the beer was brewed in an industrial unit off York Road in Elvington, and included vanilla in its recipe.

Passenger Yells ‘Death to Trump' on Scotland-Bound Flight
A bomb threat from a passenger who said he wanted to 'send a message' to President Donald Trump forced a Scotland-bound flight to make an emergency landing Sunday. Footage from inside the cabin shows the suspect, who police have identified as a 41-year-old man, pacing the aisle and yelling 'I'm going to bomb the plane. Death to America, death to Trump!' as stunned passengers look on. Trump, who is currently visiting Scotland, was at his Turnberry golf course at the time—about an hour's flight from where the incident took place, according to the New York Post. The passenger began making the threats roughly an hour into the easyJet flight from London's Luton Airport to Glasgow Airport, The Sun reported. After repeatedly yelling 'Allahu Akbar' while raising his fist, the man was tackled by a group of passengers. In another video obtained by The Sun, someone is heard asking the man, 'Why are you saying you're going to bomb the plane?' 'Because I want to send a message to Trump,' the suspect replied, while being held down in the aisle. 'He's in Scotland.' The pilots reportedly declared an emergency on approach to Glasgow Airport. Upon landing, the Airbus A319 was directed to a remote part of the airport as fire trucks rushed to the scene, The Sun reported. Police then boarded the aircraft, handcuffed the suspect, and escorted him off. Authorities later confirmed that no explosives were found on board, the Post reported. In a statement, Police Scotland said: 'We received a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving in Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025. 'Officers boarded the plane on its arrival and a 41-year-old man was arrested and remains in custody. Enquiries are continuing.' They later added: 'At this time we believe the incident was contained and that nobody else was involved. We are aware of videos circulating online and these are being assessed by counter terrorism officers.' An easyJet spokesperson told People that the suspect was removed 'due to their behaviour onboard.' 'easyJet's crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other customers is not compromised at any time,' the spokesperson said. 'The safety and well-being of our customers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority.' Trump on Sunday played a round of golf at his luxury resort before meeting with European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and coming away with a last-minute trade deal. He will meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday. The Daily Beast has reached out to easyJet for comment. Solve the daily Crossword

'Deeply disturbing' late-night noise complaint sparks official investigation
A late-night noise disturbance in Sudbrook has raised concerns among residents and sparked official inquiries, following reports of sirens being played through loudspeakers in a residential area. Gwent Police were contacted but initially did not log the incident. It was later passed to Monmouthshire County Council's Environmental Health Team, who confirmed they are investigating the situation as a potential environmental issue. Local councillor Lisa Dymock posted on social media, expressing her concerns: 'It's deeply disturbing when individuals cause disturbance and stress by blaring sirens from loudspeakers in residential areas, especially when this kind of behaviour feels deliberately antagonistic towards residents. Even more troubling when Gwent Police decline to log.' She later added, 'I appreciate police are stretched, but I thought preserving public order and ensuring residents can live peacefully was a fundamental part of policing. Communities deserve to be heard and protected.' Councillor Dymock has also said she would appreciate a meeting with Gwent Police Crime commissioner Jane Mudd. It is understood that police did eventually attend, but no arrests were made. The incident has since been classified as an environmental matter and is now under council review. The case has prompted wider questions about how noise-related complaints are managed, and whether current procedures between local authorities and law enforcement properly reflect the needs of the affected communities.
