All 15 New Ryanair Routes From UK And EU Destinations

Posted on by
Reply

Though Ryanair recently cut flights across 19 airports, including those in the UK, Ireland, France, and Spain, they’ve also launched some brand-new routes for 2026.

But while Simple Flying reports the airline’s busiest bases include London Stansted, Dublin, Milan Bergamo, Brussels Charleroi, and Barcelona, none of the new routes are in those airports.

Instead, the 15 new routes, which were launched on 1 and 2 June respectively, include destinations like Poland’s Gdańsk and Albania’s Tirana.

The UK’s Manchester airport will get a brand-new Ryanair link to Spain’s Castellón, too.

Full list of 15 new Ryanair routes for summer 2026

Per The Daily Express, these include:

  1. Bologna – Castellón
  2. Forli – Cagliari
  3. Parma – Reggio Calabria
  4. Rimini – Cologne/Bonn
  5. Rimini – Catania
  6. Manchester – Castellón
  7. Gdańsk – Bucharest
  8. Gdańsk – Palermo
  9. Katowice – Aarhus
  10. Katowice – Lamezia Terme
  11. Tirana – Alghero
  12. Tirana – Genoa
  13. Tirana – Parma
  14. Tirana – Wroclaw
  15. Zadar – Cork.

Manchester fliers have a new route to an underrated Spanish destination

These changes mean passengers from Manchester Airport now have a direct Ryanair flight to Spain’s Castellón.

Lonely Planet wrote that while “you don’t hear a great deal about the province of Castellón, to the north of the Valencia region,” the region’s airport, which saw its first commercial flight in 2015, years after officially opening, made it more viable for visitors.

Ryanair was the first airline to fly to what was then dubbed a “ghost” airport, The Guardian reported in 2015.

Over a decade on, the carrier has added Manchester and Bologna connections to its existing routes at the Valencian base. They added an Essex route to the destination in April, too.

Airports aside, Castellón has often been lauded as a quieter Spanish location with fewer tourists but tonnes of local charm.

Stansted Airport described the area, located on the country’s East coast, as a hidden gem.

“Castellon de la Plana’s sleepy city streets hide many treasures for the discerning tourist. If you’re hunting for a holiday off the beaten track, away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona or Madrid but still bursting with unique Spanish charm, there is nowhere better than Castellon de la Plana,” they wrote.

“It’s great for families too with loads of local attractions including nearby beaches, escape rooms and hot springs.”

More 2026 UK Heatwaves Are Likely Following 35°C Spring

Posted on by

On 1 June, the official start of summer, the Met Office released its three-month outlook for the UK.

The meteorological service explained on its site that this outlook is not an exact prediction or a guarantee of what will happen in the season. Instead, they say, it’s about broader trends; you can’t say for sure whether something like a heatwave will happen based on this information.

Nonetheless, they added, the most “notable” part of their most recent outlook is the expected hotter-than-usual UK summer temperatures.

“It follows that there is an increased chance of heatwave conditions developing at times,” they said.

We have already had an unusually hot start to the year, with temperatures reaching a record-breaking 35.1°C in Kew Gardens this May.

The Met Office has previously said that hotter summers are becoming more likely in the UK in general.

When will the next heatwaves be?

This outlook doesn’t aim to calculate exact dates, nor does it say there definitely will be heatwaves.

But it did mention that higher pressure, linked to hotter weather, is expected in the middle of June after a rainy start to the month.

“Towards the end of June, low pressure may begin to have more of an influence, especially across the south, where heavy showers and thunderstorms become more probable. It may also become hot in parts of the south,” the Met Office shared.

Why has this year been so hot?

Even for the UK, 2026′s weather has been especially volatile. We went from record-breaking heatwaves to floods in a matter of days.

The Met Office’s Dr Emily Carlisle previously said this is part of a broader warming trend.

“This spring highlights both the natural variability of the UK’s weather and the longer-term warming we are observing. While conditions varied through the season, all three months of meteorological spring recorded mean temperatures within the UK’s top ten warmest on record,” she stated.

“While we expect fluctuations from year to year, this spring shows some of the changes we’re seeing in our weather patterns, with more extreme conditions becoming more frequent. The fact that nine of the ten warmest springs in England have occurred since 2007 illustrates this ongoing shift in the UK’s climate.”

The Met Office added that factors like the predicted 2026 El Niño can inform their three-month outlooks.

The Smartest Time Of Day To Eat Fibre, According To Dietitians

Posted on by
Reply

About 90% of us fail to eat the recommended 30g of fibre a day, which means we could be missing out on the nutrients’ brain, heart, and bowel benefits.

That means most of us should focus on getting enough fibre to begin with. But dietitians say that eating it early on in the day can not only help us to achieve that goal, but might confer greater benefits too.

“If you start your day [of eating fibre] in the morning, you get a big advantage,” registered dietitian Lisa Young told TODAY.

And the Mayo Clinic said we should try to choose a breakfast with at least 5g of fibre.

Why should I eat fibre in the morning?

Part of it has to do with motivation. If you begin your day with more fibre, you don’t have to make up for any gaps later on in the day when you’re more tired.

One study found that people who ate higher-fibre breakfasts went on to eat healthier, more fibre-rich fare throughout the day.

Secondly, our gut is more active earlier in the day.

That might mean that your body has more of a chance to process and enjoy the satiating benefits of fibre if you consume it first thing.

“For some people, especially those with bloating, reflux, or slower digestion, a super fibre-heavy meal right before bed can feel like it just kind of sits there,” registered dietitian Alyssa Simpson told EatingWell.

How can I eat more fibre in the morning?

Another good reason to eat fibre at breakfast? A lot of breakfast foods, including cereals like bran flakes, porridge, wholemeal bread, and fruit, are naturally high in fibre, making it easier to sneak more of the nutrient into your diet.

″[Two] slices of wholemeal toast with peanut butter followed by a medium-size orange should give you around 8.3g of fibre” at breakfast, for instance, the NHS said. That equates to almost a third of your daily goal.

Add more fruits to your breakfast, choose bran or wholegrain versions of your food, or add wheat bran to lower-fibre versions, the Mayo Clinic added.

I found that eating chia chocolate overnight oats, stewed pear porridge, overnight Weetabix “carrot cake”, or mango chia pudding gets me to at least half of my goal before noon.

Should I only eat fibre in the morning?

No – eating it in the morning might have extra benefits, but the most important thing is to meet your fibre goal in the first place.

Eating too much fibre in one go can sometimes cause digestive issues, too, registered dietitian Brea Lofton from Lumen shared previously.

“I usually find that spreading it out across the day is better tolerated than having one giant fibre-heavy meal, especially for people with bloating or sensitive digestion”, Simpson said.

As a reminder, most adults should aim for 30g of fibre a day.

Keir Starmer Accuses Elon Musk Of ‘Trying To Whip Up Division’ In UK Over Henry Nowak Murder

Posted on by
Reply

Keir Starmer has accused Elon Musk of “trying to whip up division” in the UK over the murder of Henry Nowak.

The billionaire owner of X has made numerous posts on social media in recent days about the teenager’s tragic death.

Henry was stabbed to death by Vickrum Digwa, who then falsely told the police that he had been the victim of racism.

Eighteen-year-old Henry was then arrested and handcuffed by police as he lay dying.

Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years at Southampton Crown Court on Monday.

Musk has offered to fund a private prosecution against Hampshire Police over their conduct, which is now being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

But speaking on a visit to Yorkshire on Thursday, Starmer told Musk to keep out of British politics.

He said: “We need to assert who we are as a country because Musk again has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division. That is not who we are in Britain.

“In Britain we are reasonable, tolerant people. When we have a terrible case like Henry’s case, Henry Nowak, we react calmly as his family has done.”

The PM also backed Labour MP Jess Assato, who is taking legal action against Musk’s xAI after she claimed its Grok tool was used to create fake images of her in a bikini.

Starmer said: “Jess Asato is absolutely right in the action she is taking. Disgusting images were created, in her particular case by Grok.”

In January, the prime minister went to war with X after the Grok bot allowed users to generate sexualised images of women and children.

Last year, Starmer also hit out at Musk’s “dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric” after the billionaire told a far-right rally that “violence is coming” to Britain.

Trump Official Wades Into Reform’s Irate Sky News Interview Over ‘White Lives Matter’

Posted on by
Reply

A member of Donald Trump’s administration has weighed in on Zia Yusuf’s tense Sky News interview over the Henry Nowak murder.

The 18-year-old student was stabbed repeatedly by Vickrum Digwa last December, who then told police attending the incident that he had been the victim of racism.

As Henry lay dying on the ground, and despite telling the officers that he could not breathe and had been stabbed, he was handcuffed and arrested.

Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years at Southampton Crown Court on Monday.

Reform leader Nigel Farage controversially claimed the case was proof of “two-tier policing” in the UK, insisted: “White lives matter, too”, and called for “pure cold rage” from the public in response.

Sky’s Cathy Newman asked Yusuf, who is Reform’s home affairs spokesperson, if he thought that was incitement from Farage.

But he bizarrely deflected by asking what her emotional response to the bodycam footage from officers attending the scene of Nowak’s death.

She said it was “heartbreaking” – but pointed out that his family have asked for Henry’s death not to be used for more division.

When Yusuf asked again for the presenter’s response, she had to remind him: “I’m interviewing you!”

The two then clashed over Reform’s repeated use of “white lives matter” as the senior politician continued to side-step direct questions about racism against Black and ethnic minorities from police.

Yusuf eventually said it was “unacceptable for anyone to be discriminated against” – but went on to attack Newman for the “premise” of her questions.

He also admitted that he has not spoken directly to Henry Nowak’s family, despite their requests for no political point scoring.

Sarah B Rogers, the US under-secretary of state for public diplomacy, responded to a clip of their tense exchange on X – and took Yusuf’s side.

Ignoring Farage’s call for “pure cold rage”, Rogers wrote: “I will answer Cathy’s question: stating effectively ‘this video should outrage you’ is nowhere near incitement under any lucid standard.

“Moreover, it is true.”

This is not the first time Rogers has weighed into UK rows, accusing the UK of parroting Russia for considering a ban on X, and mocking prime minister Keir Starmer and his then-chief of staff over Christmas.

Newman later responded to the interview on X, writing: “Well that was fiery. Shame you couldn’t be on the sofa [Zia] but glad we got to chat (though I think you might have asked as many questions as I did!)”

Tom Holland’s Comments About Playing Spider-Man After 30 Have Come Back To Haunt Him

Posted on by
Reply

Back in 2021, Tom Holland made headlines when he told GQ: “If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.”

Having now reached that milestone age, his past comments have resurfaced as he gears up for his fourth outing as Peter Parker in the next Spider-Man film, Brand New Day.

So, where does Tom stand on that statement five years later?

“It’s funny, I saw that quote pop up somewhere recently and I kind of reeled, because I was trying to remember what I meant,” Tom told the same magazine in a new interview published the day after his 30th birthday.

The Marvel actor, who is also set to star in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, then tried to clarify what he meant by his past remarks.

“I think the point of it is that I would love to pass the baton on, and I haven’t achieved that yet,” he explained.

As for whether he’ll continue Spider-Man again now he’s actually turned 30, he noted: “It’s definitely something that we talk about a lot at the studio. So, maybe I need to change the quote to 37.

“I could also have been trying to leverage Sony and scare them into thinking I wasn’t going to do Spider-Man 4 now that I had a new deal on the horizon. So I don’t know what it could have been. It could’ve been part of a strategy to create fear.”

Notably, it doesn’t sound like Tom plans to give up that iconic red and blue suit anytime soon, calling the role “the joy of my life”.

“I now kind of stand on the plinth of like, I’ll do it for as long as they’ll have me,” Tom enthused.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day sees Destin Daniel Cretton take over the directing duties from Jon Watts.

Tom also managed to get Marvel to give him a six-month break to make The Odyssey, in which he plays Odysseus’ son, Telemachus, a move which appears to have breathed life into the MCU franchise.

“We wouldn’t have had the six-month period to develop the script with Destin to get it to a place where it is now,” the actor explained.

“I truly believe that we’ve made the best version of any Spider-Man movie going.”

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is released in cinemas on 31 July 2026.

Matt Damon Says The Odyssey Is ‘Definitely The Biggest’ Film He’s ‘Ever Done’

Posted on by

If you weren’t already hyped for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, you definitely will be when you listen to the cast talking about how epic it is.

With not long left to go until the much-hyped film hits cinemas, Nolan’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning Oppenheimer is already one of the most talked-about new releases of 2026.

The film adapts Homer’s epic Greek poem and follows the King of Ithaca, Odysseus, on his 10-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War. On his mammoth journey, he encounters mythical monsters and violent enemies, using his wit to defeat suitors plotting to take his thrones.
In a new video featurette to promote the film, Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus, hyped up the scale of the mythological epic.

“This is definitely the biggest movie I’ve ever done in my career, in terms of its scale,” the actor, who also appeared in Oppenheimer, teased, before adding: “[It’s] definitely the biggest movie I have done in terms of its ambition.”

Zendaya, who plays Athena, also praised Nolan’s ability to “do scope and action and fantasy, but also heart and humanity and depth and rawness”.

Her co-star, and real-life husband, Tom Holland, who plays Odysseus’ son Telemachus, also explained how it felt that this was Nolan’s best work to date.

“I feel like this particular picture is an accumulation of all of his skills and all of his experiences and him at his best, going for it,” he enthused.

Last month, in GQ, Matt reflected on how Hollywood films as epic and ambitious as The Odyssey are now becoming an anomaly.

“Because of where the movie business is going, it was a really weird movie for me personally, in the sense that I had almost a nostalgic feeling the entire time I was making it, because it felt like movies were when I started working,” he explained.

Matt added: “And I know that that’s going away. I knew that this was the last chance I was ever going to have to do something like this.”

The Odyssey filmed on location, with the shoot taking the cast and crew to seven countries in total.

“Every single location on this movie would’ve been the hardest location on any other movie I’ve ever done,” Matt told GQ. “And they just went back-to-back.”

The Odyssey is set to hit cinemas on 17 July.
