Shoppers are rushing to bag Morrisons' Baileys dupe that tastes like Dubai chocolate & you'll have change from a tenner
Plus, the other Dubai chocolate dupes on the market CHOC SHOCK Shoppers are rushing to bag Morrisons' Baileys dupe that tastes like Dubai chocolate & you'll have change from a tenner Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY people - and supermarkets - have gone Dubai chocolate mad, and the craze has spread to other products too. Shoppers can now pick up a Dubai Chocolate cream liqueur drink from Morrisons, which could take your next dinner party to the next level. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Morrisons is selling a Dubai chocolate cream liqueur Credit: Tiktok/@newfoundfood 3 Some people have raved about the £7 drink - while others aren't impressed Credit: Tiktok/@newfoundfood TikTok account @newfoundfood uploaded a clip of the bottle in their local supermarket and showed how it costs £7. Despite making the most of the popular flavour, they did not seem impressed with the drink version. They wrote: 'wtf have Morrisons done?' The tipple combines the classic chocolate and nutty pistachio flavouring to deliver a deliciously sweet digestif cream liqueur. Many people were quick to agree with being baffled at the drink. One said: 'Why does EVERYTHING have to be Dubai chocolate.' Another added: 'Nope.' However, some people did seem impressed with the liquor, with one writing: 'tbf it is banging.' Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur is available in Morrisons stores nationwide and online. It comes after Lidl was forced to place a shopping limit on its Dubai Chocolate-inspired exotic treat. Shoppers in frenzy over cheapest Dubai chocolate arrival in major Irish store at just €1.79 The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar. The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads. However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop was forced to implement a strict three-jar-only policy. The Sun recently spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open. 3 Dubai chocolate - with its nutty pistachio flavour - has boomed in popularity this year Credit: Getty Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media. Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99. Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl's TikTok Shop. It wasn't around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes. Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend. One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar. The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar. Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10.

EU investments in Armenia to reach €2.5 billion: meeting in Brussels
EU investments in Armenia Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is on a working visit to Brussels. He has already met with President of the European Council António Costa and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. According to the communiqué adopted following the meeting, the EU and Armenia 'reaffirmed their deepening partnership.' Within this framework, EU investments in Armenia are expected to reach up to €2.5 billion. This concerns Armenia's participation in the 'Global Gateway' strategy. In addition, the joint statement notes that 'to support Armenia's information ecosystem,' the EU will allocate €1.5 million to strengthen independent media. Pashinyan commented on the meeting on social media. On his Facebook page, he wrote that a 'productive and substantive discussion' took place with his European colleagues. Everything known about the negotiations in Brussels, as well as commentary from the chair of the European Party of Armenia, Tigran Khzmalyan. He believes that the EU expects more decisive steps from the Armenian authorities towards the West. The new EU-Armenia partnership agenda is welcomed 'President Costa and President von der Leyen welcomed Armenia's ambitious reform agenda and expressed their support for Armenia's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and democratic reforms. The leaders welcomed the recent political agreement on the text of the EU-Armenia New Partnership Agenda, a key milestone in their shared commitment to deepening ties,' the communiqué states. The participants also noted progress in the visa liberalisation process. The statement 'welcomes' the Armenian parliament's adoption of the law 'On initiating the process of the Republic of Armenia's accession to the EU.' EU will continue to provide financial support to Armenia The EUR 270 million Resilience and Growth Plan, announced in April 2024, boosted EU funding to Armenia by 50%. With EUR 200 million in grant assistance and EUR 70 million in grant funding to leverage investments, it continues to support Armenia's socio-economic reform agenda, closer sectoral cooperation, and investments in energy, transport, and the private sector,' European partners stated. They reaffirmed their commitment to support Armenia's resilience and development 'through substantial financial and technical assistance.' 'Crossroads of peace' and regional cooperation EU representatives also addressed the Armenian government's proposal to unblock regional communications: 'EU reaffirmed its support for Armenia's Crossroads of Peace initiative, to promote regional connectivity and reconciliation.' António Costa and Ursula von der Leyen particularly highlighted Armenia's efforts to establish stability in the South Caucasus. They welcomed the Armenian government's readiness for peace talks with Azerbaijan and the normalisation of relations with Turkey. 'The leaders also underlined the importance of the possibility to include Armenia's in the European Union's regional and economic initiatives, particularly within the framework of the Black Sea Strategy,' the communiqué said. European partners thanked Armenia for its close cooperation and the steps it has taken to prevent sanctions circumvention. They agreed with the Armenian prime minister to continue joint efforts in this direction. Armenia-EU security cooperation Security cooperation was also discussed during the Brussels meeting. Participants welcomed the launch of EU-Armenia consultations on security and defence matters, stressing their 'shared commitment to peace, stability, and democratic resilience'. 'Addressing a range of security concerns, including foreign information manipulation and interference, disinformation, and cyber threats, the EU proposed to work together with Armenia to assess its needs, identify priority areas for cooperation, and leverage available EU instruments,' the joint statement said. EU Commissioner for Enlargement to visit Armenia soon Prime Minister Pashinyan also met with EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos. According to the prime minister's office, they discussed programmes being implemented in Armenia using EU financial tools. Pashinyan underlined the importance of EU support for: Armenia's economic diversification, transport and infrastructure development, expanding the capabilities of small and medium-sized businesses, introducing EU standards. 'Reference was made to the programs implemented by the Armenian Government to address the social problems of people forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh. Prime Minister Pashinyan highlighted the importance of the international community's continued support in this direction,' read a post-meeting statement shared with media. Marta Kos expressed the EU's support for Armenia's ambitious democratic reform agenda and stated her intention to visit Armenia soon 'for more detailed discussions on joint programmes and initiatives'. Comment Chairman of the European Party of Armenia, Tigran Khzmalyan, believes that 'the EU is trying to get answers from Pashinyan' — which, in his view, was the main purpose behind the Armenian prime minister's visit to Brussels: 'Aliyev is backed by Turkey, the entire Islamic world, the Arab world, and Pakistan, whereas Armenia is backed by no one. Armenia has lost its former allies [referring to Russia and members of the CSTO], who turned out not to be allies at all, but enemies. And over these 7 years, it hasn't acquired any new ones. That is precisely why Europe is calling on Armenia. The logic is simple — almost like a law of physics: when something disappears from a space, something else fills it. Which country is filling this region in Russia's absence? Turkey. Why have we [pro-Western political forces] insisted for years that Armenia should become a member of the EU? Because we know that, just as it was 100 years ago, Russia will inevitably be pushed out as a result of geopolitical processes. Who can fill that vacuum in terms of power, economy, military, and political-military presence? Obviously, Turkey will be the primary candidate — unless Armenia joins the Euro-Atlantic alliance. And that is what's happening now. But a hundred days after the law [on initiating Armenia's EU accession process] was passed by the National Assembly, Armenian authorities declared their intention to join not the EU, but the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. António Costa and Ursula von der Leyen invited Pashinyan to clarify: we sent Kaja Kallas [the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy]. You welcomed her warmly. But two days later, your foreign minister travelled to Beijing and spoke about Armenia joining the Shanghai bloc. Now you want to talk to Turkey and Azerbaijan only in a bilateral format. Who will support you? What makes you so sure you won't be wiped out? That question is in the air. And even if European diplomats don't ask it openly, we [local pro-Western political forces] are obligated to.' Follow us – Twitter | Facebook | Instagram EU investments in Armenia

Owner of abandoned Edinburgh pub threatens legal action against bar and restaurant group
The owner of an abandoned Edinburgh pub has threatened potential legal action against one of the UK's biggest bar and restaurant groups over the state of the building.

The former Busy Bee pub in Saughton Mains closed in around 2016 and has stood empty ever since, gradually falling into disrepair as the weeds grow around it. In recent weeks nearby residents have begun a campaign for action over what they say has become an eyesore. Last week they staged a protest at the site amid calls for the building to be demolished and replaced with a community hub or new housing. The Busy Bee has been closed for nearly a decade | supplied Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Owner Fiona Clarke has already rejected a proposal for demolition put forward by Mitchells and Butlers, who own brands including All Bar One, Toby Carvery and Browns, and have a lease on the Busy Bee which runs until 2069. And Ms Clarke - whose father bought the premises, formerly Saughton Mains Congregational Church, in 1970 - has launched a Facebook page where she has warned she is ready to take legal action. She wrote: 'A final dilapidations survey is being completed to assess the full extent of repairs required due to ongoing leaseholder inaction (est. completion: August 2025). This report will be formally served to Mitchells & Butlers, the current leaseholder, along with a legal request for payment or remedial action. 'If no agreement is reached within a reasonable period, we will initiate legal proceedings. This may include a formal court process to pursue recovery of costs and/or seek to bring the lease to an end. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'This is not a quick process, but we are committed to using every legal avenue available to hold the leaseholder accountable and unlock the potential of this site for the local community.' In another post, she criticises Mitchells & Butlers and claims their demolition proposal 'seems at odds with their stated commitment to sustainability and zero operational waste to landfill by 2030'. She continues: 'We call on Mitchells & Butlers to explore sustainable renovation rather than demolition; engage directly with the local community; respect the social and cultural value of this historic site. Let's preserve this place for future generations — not erase it.' Mitchells & Butlers told the Evening News earlier this month they had tried to sell the lease on the pub, but there had been no interest. They said: "We have also actively explored alternative uses for the building, but progress has been hindered by restrictions within the lease. Realistically, we now believe the building to be beyond it's usable economic life. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "In light of this, Mitchells & Butlers has made a proposal to the freeholder to demolish the building. We are committed to working closely with the freeholder, local stakeholders, charities, and the city council to explore and deliver a new use for the site.'
