Leeds prison officer admits relationship with inmate
"You may well be serving a prison sentence", he added. The court heard Gibson allowed the inmate into areas of the Category C jail where he was not supposed to be, and visited his home address. Gibson's defence counsel said her client was in the process of being diagnosed with various mental health issues and potentially had PTSD from a previous relationship.

IF your hair gets really greasy despite regular washing, this beauty buy may be for you. You can prolong the time between hair washes with this product, and it's now cheaper than ever. This budget-friendly buy is guaranteed to leave your locks looking shiny and feeling as soft as ever. The Tresemmé Replenish & Cleanse Shampoo is now available for just £3.75 from Amazon. Product details According to the product description, this product is "designed to deeply cleanse and purify hair, removing build-up and heavy residue". The shampoo is also enriched with vitamin C, revitalising greasy hair from within to "add healthy body and gleam". It is described as "professional-quality shampoo" that gives your hair a "fresh, just-left-the-salon feeling". "Our hair care experts are at the forefront of science and safety – every ingredient is carefully selected to ensure your hair receives the best possible care," manufacturers said. "With Tresemme professional hair care, you can create your personal style to achieve your aspirations with confidence." Simply apply the shampoo, lather and rinse, and follow with the Replenish & Cleanse Conditioner to maximise results. Rave reviews Amazon shoppers heaped on the praise for the budget-friendly beauty buy. They awarded it an average rating of 4.6 stars out of five on the site's review section. I'm a beauty fan but save money in Boots by switching to six bargain buys - the 75p shampoo and conditioner is a must One impressed customer said they "absolutely love" the Tresemmé shampoo. "[It] makes my hair feel super clean, it literally squeaks from being so clean when washing the shampoo out," the shopper said. "I struggled with my hair getting greasy very fast, now I can wait at least four days between washes and my hair is so soft and shiny. "I never wrote reviews really but this is so great I couldn't not, and for the price, you really cannot go wrong." Another Amazon user revealed they had been using the shampoo for "a few weeks". TINA Farey, Editorial director at Rush Hair, shares her advice… HOW TO RESTORE DAMAGED HAIR Whilst you can't fully reserve the effects of damaged hair, you can stop the problem from growing. Depending on the condition of your hair, I'd recommend getting a trim every six to eight weeks - this will prevent any split ends from travelling further up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair's overall structure and leads to more breakage. Even just an inch of the ends will completely transform the appearance of your hair – trust me. When it comes to products to help restore damaged hair, Goldwell's Rich Repair Treatment Mask is a firm favourite – strengthening damaged locks to be healthy and shiny once again. HOW TO PREVENT DAMAGE My number one tip is to always use a heat protectant – even if you're only blow-drying your hair. Consistent heat styling without one will leave your hair open to heat damage. I'd also recommend refraining from over-washing your hair as this can strip the hair of its natural oils – nobody wants a dry and irritated scalp! And finally, swap your sleek, slick back for a hair down day! They may be in fashion at the moment, but over time all that tension on your strands from being pulled will wreak havoc on your hair follicles – this could lead to thinning and bald spots in areas where the hair is constantly pulled. "I'm genuinely impressed with the results," the customer wrote in their review. "My hair tends to get oily at the roots and dry at the ends, but this shampoo strikes the perfect balance—it deeply cleanses without stripping away natural moisture." "One of the best things about this shampoo is how it brings that salon-fresh feel right into your home." Other haircare buys And a holy grail product for boosting hair growth, it makes your locks thicker and softer. Plus, a water-resistant hair mask that's a "must-have" for your holiday this summer. Check out the five best Dyson Airwrap dupes, including one that is a tenth of the price.

Norman Tebbit dies aged 94
Lord Tebbit, one of Margaret Thatcher's most loyal supporters during her years of power, has died at the age of 94. From a working-class background in Essex and a career as an airline pilot, Norman Tebbit reached the heights of the Conservative cabinet in the 1980s, serving as employment secretary and party chairman. He was the most high-profile victim of the IRA's bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton and lay trapped for hours under the rubble following the atrocity, which left his wife paralysed for the rest of her life. Lord Tebbit gained prominence for his tough reaction to the riots of the early years of the Thatcher government, telling one party conference that his father did not riot when he did not have a job: 'He got on his bike and looked for work.' His combative style against trade union power led to Michael Foot branding him a 'semi-house-trained polecat', an epithet he wore with pride. He was given a seat in the House of Lords after stepping down as an MP in 1992, where he continued his long opposition against European integration. Lord Tebbit, who retired from politics three years ago, died peacefully on July 7 at 11.15pm. He was born in 1931 in Ponders End, Middlesex, at the height of the Great Depression, where he was educated at a local state grammar school. His first job was with the Financial Times, where he came into contact with union officials, which gave him a burning desire to break the power of the closed shop. After national service in the RAF, where he flew Meteor and Vampire jets, he joined the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) as a pilot. Later he turned to politics, elected first as Conservative MP for Epping in 1970 and four years later for Chingford. During his time on the back benches, he harangued the Labour Party over its policies towards the unions, at one point accusing employment secretary Michael Foot of fascism. In 1977, he accused the unions of harbouring a threat from 'Marxist collectivist totalitarians' and labelled those in his party who failed to stand up to them as appeasers. When the Conservatives won the 1979 election, Lord Tebbit was given a ministerial post and within two years he was in the Cabinet as employment secretary. He brought in the Employment Act 1982, which made it harder for unions to bring in a closed shop at workplaces. Following riots in Brixton and elsewhere, Lord Tebbit strongly rejected the idea that rioting was a natural reaction to high unemployment. He said: 'I grew up in the '30s with an unemployed father. He didn't riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he kept looking till he found it.' The Left used his quotes to misrepresent what he had said, making it appear he had directly called for the unemployed to 'get on your bike'. On the 80s satirical TV series Spitting Image, he was represented as a leather-clad bovver boy, complete with metal chains. He was said to have enjoyed his representation. Lord Tebbit never dropped his accent, and it was said that Harold Macmillan, the patrician former Tory prime minister, once remarked of him: 'Heard a chap on the radio this morning talking with a cockney accent. They tell me he is one of Her Majesty's ministers'. After the 1983 election victory, he was moved to the trade and industry department following Cecil Parkinson's resignation over a sex scandal. His main success in this position was the privatisation of British Telecom. In October 1984, Lord Tebbit was caught up in one of the defining events of the Thatcher era – the IRA bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton at 2.54am on the morning of the final day of the Tory party conference. Five people died in the attempt to assassinate the prime minister and her Cabinet by placing a long-delay time bomb on the sixth floor of the seaside hotel. It was the height of the Troubles, and Lady Thatcher had made it plain that she would never give in to Republican demands to withdraw from Northern Ireland. The explosion missed killing the premier by minutes: her bathroom was completely wrecked. Lord Tebbit and his wife were in bed on the second floor, and the force of the blast sent their bed tumbling two floors down into the foyer. For four long hours, firefighters on ladders struggled to rescue them from a tiny gap, during which time he and his wife held each other's hands and talked to each other in the eerie blackness. Millions watched on breakfast TV as his feet finally appeared amid the rubble. Finally he was carried out in his pyjamas, covered in dust, and taken to hospital. Although he survived with a broken collar bone and broken ribs, his wife Margaret was left wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life. She died in 2020. Famously, Lady Thatcher vowed the conference would go on despite the attack: it opened as normal in the morning and she made a memorable speech at which she said: 'Democracy will prevail'. Chillingly, the IRA put out a statement, saying: 'Today we were unlucky, but remember we have only to be lucky once, you will have to be lucky always.' While Lord Tebbit was a keen supporter of Lady Thatcher, they briefly fell out during his time as Tory party chairman from 1985 to 1987, when he presented her polling which found that her 'combative virtues were being received as vices: her determination was perceived as stubbornness, her single-mindedness as inflexibility, and her strong will as an inability to listen'. Lord Tebbit and his chief of staff Michael Dobbs, who went on to write House of Cards, told her this was becoming known as the 'TBW factor': 'That Bloody Woman'. They recommended the Prime Minister take a lower profile in the forthcoming general election. She refused. Making extensive use of advertisers Saatchi and Saatchi, Lord Tebbit ran the Tory election campaign. He argued with Lady Thatcher and her acolyte Lord Young, who took him by the lapels and told him: 'We're about to lose this f---ing election.' The Conservatives won with a landslide majority, but Lord Tebbit decided to leave the Cabinet so he could care for his wife. Even on the back benches, he never strayed far from the headlines. In 1990, he proposed what became known as the 'Tebbit test', when he argued that whether ethnic minorities supported the England cricket team rather than the country of their heritage was a mark of their Britishness. Lady Thatcher offered him a job in the Cabinet after Geoffrey Howe's resignation, but he turned her down for the sake of his wife. He was one of her most vocal supporters during the leadership contest against Michael Heseltine, and urged her to fight to the very end. When she decided to step down, he helped her write the era-defining speech she made in a confidence debate the next day. Lord Tebbit briefly thought of standing for the leadership, but in the end he backed John Major. He stepped down as an MP in 1992, handing over his seat to future Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith. He sat in the Lords as Barron Tebbit of Chingford. In future years, he turned against Mr Major, supporting campaigns to leave the European Union and even backing John Redwood when he stood against him. Lord Tebbit went on to write for newspapers including The Telegraph and retired from the House of Lords in March 2022.

Macron 'to vow tougher approach' on Channel migrants as he kicks off State Visit TODAY… but how much more will it cost the UK?
Emmanuel Macron is poised to promise a tougher approach on Channel migrants as he kicks off a state visit to the UK today. The French president is getting the red carpet treatment with three days of pomp and ceremony to 'reset' relations. But Keir Starmer is hoping for concrete gains from the trip, including confirmation that harder tactics will be routinely deployed against those trying to cross to Britain. French police were recently seen using knives to slash inflatable boats in shallow water off the coast. Downing Street has been pushing for a 'one in, one out' deal to return arrivals - but the prospects of sealing that this week are hanging in the balance. Sources said the negotiations were 'complicated' after the European Commission intervened with concerns about a bilateral agreement. There is also alarm about the cost to UK taxpayers of any pact, with complaints that the £770million handed to Paris for border controls over the past 12 years has achieved little. No10 has refused to rule out increasing the funding for France, merely stressing that the government wants 'value for money'. Sir Keir and Mr Macron are due to hold a bilateral summit on Thursday at the end of the visit - the first by a French premier for 17 years. The two leaders are likely to announce details of new measures, including moves which will finally allow gendarmes to intercept dinghies already in the water. There may also be pledges for wider 'dragnet' tactics in French rivers and canals, installing floating barriers to prevent traffickers using them to launch so-called 'taxi boats' into the Channel. The mooted 'one in, one out' deal could allow the UK to return some illegal migrants, but take an identical number of asylum seekers from France. Critics have ridiculed the idea as a 'migrant merry-go-round'. Whitehall sources have played down the prospect of a breakthrough this week following an intervention by the European Commission - although it remans a possibility. Downing Street declined to say whether the PM was ready to pay France tens of millions more to step up patrols, saying only that the Government 'will only ever provide funding that delivers for the priorities of the British public'. A report by the House of Commons Library, published this week, set out how £657 million has been given to France by the UK since 2018. A further £114 million was handed over in the previous four years for other security measures, making a total of more than £770 million over 12 years. The report added: 'There is little publicly available information about how funding is spent and monitored. 'UK authorities have refused Freedom of Information requests seeking detailed information.' In 2023, it emerged some of the UK's money had been used to buy equipment for French police operating on the French-Italian border – not the Channel coast. It was also revealed that most of the funds had been spent on helicopters, cars, motorbikes, e-scooters and quad bikes, plus surveillance equipment such as binoculars, drones and dash cams. Asked whether the hundreds of millions of pounds given to the French over the last decade to stop the small boat crossings in the Channel was 'value for money', Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander told Times Radio: 'We will always spend our money in the public interest, in the national interest. 'I think that footage that we saw, whilst it wasn't pleasant to see, in terms of the action that the French authorities were taking to cut those boats, to prevent people leaving the French shores, that's action that we are supporting.' Ms Alexander said watching footage of French authorities slash small boats 'wasn't pleasant' but 'that's action that we are supporting'. Asked whether the one in, one out arrangement was necessary to deal with Channel crossings, she told Times Radio: 'Well, look, we're working very closely with the French authorities, and the visit of President Macron this week is another opportunity to continue those discussions. 'I'm not going to speculate on the coverage of this possibility of a one in, one out agreement with France. We've seen in the last couple of days, haven't we, that the French authorities are now using some new tactics to stop the boats in shallow waters. 'We welcome that and we want to build on it. I know that the Prime Minister spoke with President Macron at the weekend. 'We're looking forward to further discussions this week, because I think all of us want to tackle the misery, really, that these very sophisticated international criminal gangs are inflicting through this vile trade that operates across the channel.' She added: 'We've been honest that this is a problem that we're not going to fix overnight… So we need to tackle this from all sides.'
