And Just Like That became one of the most talked-about shows of late 2021/early 2022. The Sex and the City sequel series featured the returns of Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York as they navigate life in their 50s. Like Sex and the City , And Just Like That featured some polarizing topics and storylines that sparked lots of fan debate (ahem, Che and Miranda’s kitchen hookup while Carrie peed the bed). Season 2 will feature the long-awaited return of Samantha Jones. Yes, you read that right. The new season is set to return on June 22 with 11 episodes. The first trailer for season 2 dropped on April 26.

Mike Pence to announce 2024 presidential campaign in Iowa next week

Former Vice President Mike Pence will enter the 2024 presidential race June 7 with a kickoff event in Iowa, The Post has learned. Pence, 63, will mark his entrance to the GOP primary with a speech in Des Moines, a source familiar with the vice president’s plans said. He is also scheduled to take part in a CNN town hall the same day. “We view this race as absolutely wide open, and Iowa is really going to solidify itself as the pivotal player,” a source close to the situation told NBC News . “It’s a place that values Mike Pence’s principles — traditional conservative principles — deep-rooted faith and uncommon character.” A super PAC supporting Pence, Committed to America, launched earlier this month. Pence’s entrance will pit him against his former running mate, Donald Trump, as well as an increasingly crowded field of Republican candidates. Pence broke with Trump, 76, over his claims the 2020 election was decided by fraud. Mike Pence will announce his candidacy for p

Activist glues hand to floor in front of Kathleen Stock wearing ‘no more dead trans kids’ shirt

Riz Possnett is one of the three trans rights activist who protested a talk by so-called ‘gender-critical’ activist Kathleen Stock at the University of Oxford by wearing a t-shirt that read ‘no more dead trans kids’ and gluing her hand to the floor. (Twitter / @rizpossnett) A controversial talk by so-called gender critical academic Kathleen Stock at University of Oxford’s debating society was interrupted and protested by trans activists chanting “no more dead trans kids”. Stock, who contends her trans-exclusionary views are ‘feminist’, had only been talking at Oxford Union for around five minutes before protesters jumped out of the audience waving Pride flags. One activist, Riz Possnett, wrote a t-shirt stating “no more dead trans kids” and glued her hand to the floor directly in front of Kathleen Stock before being removed by police. The appearance by the academic, who voluntarily resigned from the University of Sussex in 2021 amid protests over the views on trans peopl

Savers urged to ‘shop around’ to stop banks ripping them off with low interest rate

S avers were on Wednesday urged to “shop around” to stop banks ripping them off by paying a miserly interest rate. Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride admitted there was “stickiness” in lenders raising their saving rates as interest rates have risen to 4.5 per cent and predictions that they could hit 5.5 per cent by the end of the year. “Broadly speaking, the banking and financial services sector is a relatively efficient and highly competitive marketplace so you would expect as one particular bank starts to change its rates others to follow,” he told Sky News. “But it is sticky.” The Treasury and business department were often involved with banks about these issues, he added. “It’s a free market and my advice generally would be is if you feel you are getting a very poor rate with one particular institution is shop around and find one that will pay a better rate and there are those out there,” he continued.

Royal Blood’s onstage strop was pure entitlement – good audiences need to be earned

Sign up to Roisin O’Connor’s free weekly newsletter Now Hear This for the inside track on all things music Get our Now Hear This email for free A raised middle finger: is there anything more quintessentially rock’n’roll? As a gesture of defiance, it’s as timeless as it is unambiguous. Nothing says “I don’t give a f***” quite like the sight of an erected third digit, aimed in the direction of an authority figure. Think of Johnny Cash at San Quentin prison. MIA during the Super Bowl halftime show. Ricky Martin “flipping the bird” at George Bush over the Iraq war. Of course, doing it to those in power is one thing. But what about when that finger turns on your own audience? That’s exactly what happened on Saturday, when Mike Kerr, the frontman of West Sussex-based rock band Royal Blood, lost his rag with the audience at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Dundee. Annoyed by a perceived lack of energy from attendees, Kerr began making derisive remarks on stage, branding the audi

This queer musical parody of The Little Mermaid’s Ursula will be your next obsession

Image
Musical theatre duo Daniel Foxx and Robyn Grant have told PinkNews about bringing their “loud, proud and vibrant” musical parody Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch , to life. Best-known as the conniving sorceress who tricks love-struck mermaid Ariel into giving up her voice, The Little Mermaid ‘s Ursula has previously been painted pretty much as a one-dimensional villain in both Hans Christian Andersen’s original 1837 fairytale and Disney’s 1989 animated film adaptation. However, all that’s about to change, because “Ursula season” is officially upon us. As Melissa McCarthy takes on the tentacled role opposite Halle Bailey’s Ariel in Disney’s newly released live-action remake, the outrageously camp Unfortunate is also returning to the London stage after a critically acclaimed UK tour last year. Giving Ursula her long-overdue flowers in a raunchy tale of “sex, sorcery and suckers”, the musical parody allows audiences the chance to hear Ursula’s side of the

Ministers prepare to sue Covid inquiry over demand for Boris Johnson's un-censored messages

Image
Ministers are gearing up to take the official Covid inquiry to court over its demand they hand over unredacted messages from Boris Johnson by this afternoon. The Cabinet Office is unwilling to meet the 4pm deadline set by the investigation into how the pandemic was handled to  to release, in full, the ex-prime minister’s WhatsApp conversations and diaries. Probe chairman Baroness Hallett – who was hired by Mr Johnson – has warned that failure to comply with her demand to release the material under the Inquiries Act would amount to a criminal offence. But ministers are resisting, believing that she is asking for ‘unambiguously irrelevant evidence’ that would represent a ‘serious intrusion of privacy’. It means that ministers could end up taking action in the High Court to limit the reach of an official inquiry it set up. The Cabinet Office is unwilling to meet the 4pm deadline set by the investigation into how the pandemic was handled to to release, in full, the

Eamonn Holmes has claimed that Phillip Schofield’s would take his younger lover out for ‘playtime’ on Thursday nights followed by trysts at his £1million London bolthole while the star was still with his wife. Holmes, a former This Morning presenter, a ccused ITV of a ‘total cover up’ over the affair, claiming that ‘those in authority had to know’ about the secret relationship because the man would be ferried between Phil’s flat and studios in taxis ‘paid for by ITV’. Mr Holmes told his fellow GB News presenter Dan Wootton last night that he had decided to stand up for ‘people who hadn’t got a voice’. He revealed that Schofield’s lover, who MailOnline has decided not to name, had been badly hurt by Phil and suggested he was a victim of the man he branded a ‘chief narcissist’. He said: ‘Thursday was playtime when he and Phillip would hit the town and then he obviously stayed overnight. There are records to show that he was brought in the next day separately in cars paid for by
