Four Bank of Scotland branches to close by end of 2025 as Lloyds axe dozens of sites
Bank closures are a trend that shows no sign of slowing down. Four Bank of Scotland sites have been confirmed as shutting in the coming months as closures continue to dog the industry. High streets across the UK are seeing financial hubs shut at a worrying speed. Since January 2015, more than 6,200 bank branches have closed in the UK, reports The Express. This works out at over 50 closures every month for the past decade. Elderly customers and those who prefer in-person banking to online services are finding it harder and harder as towns continue to lose their banks. Sadly, there seems to be no stopping the trend of the last 10 years. The latest closures have been confirmed by the Lloyds Banking Group, which includes Halifax and Bank of Scotland. Four BOS branches will shut their doors before the end of this year, according to the latest statements from the banking giants. While one of them is in Edinburgh, their Corstorphine site, it is rural bankers who will be hit the most. Following the capital closure on October 29, Pitlochry (October 30), Thornhill (November 3), and Moffat (November 19) will all lose branches. There are also a number of closures for Lloyds themselves, with 50 sites shutting, and Halifax, where 32 branches are expected to be axed. Elsewhere, NatWest has confirmed 54 further branch closures, with Spanish banking giants Santander announcing 42 sites shutting. There are nine Santander branches in Scotland that have closed this summer, with one more, Turiff, also due to shut but with no date confirmed yet. Bucking the trend, a couple of banks have held off on shutting sites, with another confirming they are to open three new branches. HSBC has said it won't have any more closures until at least 2026, while Nationwide announced it will stop any closures until 2028. American firm Metro Bank said it was opening three new branches in Gateshead, Chester, and Salford.

Rosie O'Donnell says 'cruel' Trump supporters forced her to flee America
Rosie O'Donnell has been involved in a long-standing feud with US President Donald Trump and she has now opened up about how his supporters forced her to leave America Comedian Rosie O'Donnell has opened up about the "cruel" backlash from Donald Trump supporters that drove her to leave the US in a bid for "self-preservation". The 63-year-old American talk show host has been embroiled in a bitter dispute with the President of the United States ever since she took a swipe at him almost twenty years ago. In a 2006 episode of The View, during the Hot Topics segment, Rosie didn't hold back in her criticism of Trump. Trump, who was not a politician at the time, hit back by branding Rosie "a woman out of control", and their animosity has persisted over the years. While chatting with Christine Lampard, who was filling in on Tuesday's Lorraine, Rosie disclosed that the ongoing conflict prompted her to up sticks and move to Ireland for the sake of her own well-being and that of her family. Discussing her relocation to Ireland earlier this year, she said: "I just think this is the best decision I could have made for myself and my child, I love it here, we've been welcomed by everyone," reports the Express. Following a DNA test that confirmed Rosie's Irish heritage as 100 per cent, she expressed that there was never any doubt about her destination if she ever felt compelled to leave America due to its political atmosphere. "There was never a question for me where I would go if I had to leave the country because of the political climate, and that's what I felt I had to do, and I'm so glad that this is where we came, and so thrilled at the warm welcome we've received," she elaborated. Rosie also touched upon her choice to relocate following the spat with Trump, seeking to distance herself from the "intensity" of the situation. She reminisced about poking fun at his hair back in 2006, doing "did what comedians have been doing for years" and then noted: "He went really crazy, he could not get himself to get over it for over 20 years. "He uses me as a punching line and disparages me and insults me and calls me names like it's a kid in school and I'm being teased. "But when I talked about him, he was not the President, he was a reality TV host, he was a bit of a joke in New York. "Nobody really took him seriously in 2006 at all, and then he becomes the President of the United States. "And does he stop? No. He puts the pedal to the medal and uses my name in the debate and it was difficult for my children." Rosie disclosed that Trump's remarks and political actions were the reasons behind her departure. "I knew I could not stay in my country and be a healthy parent that I need to be for this child, with all of this destruction going on in the country that he had planned and now has implemented. "So it really was self-preservation. I knew I had to take care of myself mentally and emotionally, and being here has given me that distance, and I don't live in fear of what someone is going to say to me in Walmart. "Even though most people are very kind, the MAGA people are emboldened by his cruelty to be just as cruel, even to my face. "I knew for my own safety and health that I had to leave, but he hasn't stopped; he just threatened to take away my citizenship a couple of weeks ago."

While the Owls are yet to confirm Rohl's departure, The Athletic report staff and players were informed of the decision by the manager this morning. Rohl has been allowed to leave for free and will be able to pursue other opportunities immediately. However, the former Southampton and Bayern Munich assistant does not have a new job lined up yet. And it is expected he will take time to consider his next steps in management.

The German secured survival in the second tier for Wednesday before going on to finish 12th in his first and only full season at the club in the 2024/25 campaign. Overall, he managed 89 games for the Hillsborough Stadium outfit, winning 34, drawing 21 and losing 34.

SunSport exclusively revealed how much-maligned Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri was refusing to sell the club for less than £100million. Sheffield Wednesday crisis deepens as players free to resign, club legend leaves and staff going months without pay This is despite the club's crippling debt issues which saw payments to players missed in both June and July of this year. Earlier this month, SunSport reported that Chansiri owes more than £4million in football debts — which will have to be paid by whoever buys the club. The extent of the cash woes emerged during takeover bids by several groups in the prior weeks. Earlier this month US businessman Tilman Fertitta was linked with the crisis club. Fertitta, 68, is the US ambassador for Italy and is an ally of Donald Trump. The American also owns the Houston Rockets in the NBA. Yesterday, it was announced that Callum Paterson - who helped the team win promotion to the Championship in 2023 - had left the club, with the 30-year-old moving to join MK Dons in League Two. 3 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
