The first community conversation for City Centre West in Wolverhampton has closed this week, with the team now collating and reviewing feedback to help shape the regeneration opportunity.
We signed a Development Agreement with the Council, after the partnership was approved by the Cabinet, in July 2024. The decision kick-started an initial community conversation with Wolverhampton residents and other interested groups.
City Centre West has been identified by the Council as a priority location for brownfield regeneration. With the potential to deliver up to 1,000 new homes (including affordable homes), as well as shops, cafes, restaurants, and an enhanced Market Square.
City Centre West is the largest regeneration opportunity in Wolverhampton city centre, and we are working in partnership with the Council to deliver this project.
Held over two days, the team spent time in Wolverhampton city centre to hear from the community directly. We spoke with residents about what they liked about their city and what they would like to see at City Centre West.
Top priorities included high quality public spaces, new places to eat and drink, and affordable homes.
As part of the regeneration, there is also an opportunity to enhance the existing Market Square, which is one of the largest public spaces in the city. We asked the community what they might like to see – with trees and plants, outdoor seating, and cafes or restaurants identified as top priorities.
The engagement sessions were held in Wolverhampton’s Urban Room – a newly opened space funded by the local authority and the West Midlands Combined Authority.
Located on Queen Square, right in the heart of Wolverhampton, the Urban Room is designed as a bespoke engagement and consultation space. With over 100 people visiting in person over two days, and nearly 1,000 views of the consultation website.
With the deadline for feedback passing this week, our team is now carefully reviewing the feedback and identifying how City Centre West might be able to respond before finalising a detailed plan.
Further community conversations events will be held over the coming months, where residents will be able to see how we have responded to the feedback provided.
In the meantime, you can find out more at www.citycentrewest.co.uk

Perhaps the three best-known are Banks’s in Wolverhampton (Bank’s Bitter is a standard tipple), Holdens in Woodsetten, near Dudley (try Holden’s Golden), and, established in 1877 and producing just a bitter, mild and Christmas ale, Bathams in Brierley Hill, one of the few breweries that still use 54-gallon hogshead casks, its home pub being The Vine (sometimes called the Bull & Bladder) on Delph Road while over on Dudley High Street, The Lamp is another celebrated local flagship.
The most famous among Black Country drinkers is Old Ma Pardoe’s, brewing its own beer at the Grade 2-listed pub with its rare vitreous enamel tiled roof. The Old Swan, on Halesowen Road in Netherton, was originally owned and run by Doris Pardoe from 1931 to her death in 1984, an even after several changes of ownership, is constantly given fulsome praise by CAMRA. Sedgeley’s Sarah Hughes, a Victorian brewery at the rear of the Beacon Hotel, is also much praised, specialising in an original recipe for an authentic strong early 20th-century Black Country mild.
There’s also several pubs around the region served by micro-brewery Black Country Ales in Lower Gornal while hopefully the Black Country Beer Festival will return to Lye Cricket Club in 2020. You should also not miss experiencing The Crooked House in Himley since subsidence gives the illusion of glasses sliding across the table.
Live music here is reasonably well served, although the Wolverhampton Civic Hall and its smaller sister Wulfrun Hall are closed until 2020 for extensive refurbishment. They do, however, have a 550 capacity cousin, The Slade Rooms (named for local heroes Slade) in Broad Street which is currently doing the heavy lifting for ‘name’ gigs as well as comedy club nights.
The Robin 2 at Mount Pleasant in Bilston describes itself, not without good reason, as the Midlands premier 700 capacity live concert venue and was recently voted the country’s best Prog venue by readers of Classic Rock, beating both the Royal Albert Hall and the Borderline. Operating seven-days-a-week it tends to specialise in heavy rock and blues, but also welcomes folk, punk, country and pop-oriented acts as well as rock heritage names from America such as Blue Oyster Cult, while, situated in Stourbridge, Claptrap has a mix of alternative and indie acts.
Perhaps the three best-known are Banks’s in Wolverhampton, Holdens in Woodsetten, near Dudley, and, established in 1877 and Bathams in Brierley Hill
Folk fans are well served, especially by The Woodman Folk Club in Kingswinford, one of the longest established clubs on the folk scene it regularly hosts well-known names. Elsewhere singers nightscan be found at the Royal Oak in Tettenhall, or the New Crystal Folk Club and Lighthouse Folk Club, both in Rowley Regis. Sited on Enville Street, Stourbridge is also home to Katie Fitzgerald’s, a stop-off point on the folk circuit run by local musician Eddy Morton.
Over in Smethwick, the intimate and welcoming Thimblemill Library is establishing itself a strong reputation for Americana and folk-oriented gigs, frequently featuring appearances by acclaimed names from America’s roots and bluegrass scene.
Tribute acts tend to dominate most of the other venues, including Walsall Football Club, often alongside club and party nights, among them The River Rooms on Mill Race Lane in Stourbridge and The Venue restaurant and disco on Dudley High Street and The Arena at Rookery Lane in Aldridge.
There’s nowhere near the extensive gay scene as there is in Birmingham, but Bar Diva is a cabaret venue in King Street, Dudley while Wolverhampton’s School Street is home to Gorgeous and The Lion Bar and Club on Birchall Street is Walsall’s premier gay venue. There’s also no cutting-edge club nights as you might find in Birmingham, but if all you want is to let your hair down and wave the arms about, then party and disco nights can be found in abundance at the likes of Churchills on Walsall Street and MJs Bar and Venue on Bridge Street in Wednesbury, or Suede on Bridge Street in Walsall, which hosts Suave Saturdays
On the same street, Religion is split into two separate venues with four spaces the nightclub, including a bare-brick loft room leading out onto the third floor roof garden and bar where events are also staged. There’s also the adjacent party bar Poptastic with its retro arcade machines.
In Essington near Wolverhampton, The Range Bar on Broad Lane has 80s v 90s club classics on Fridays and Saturdays with its resident DJ while in Wolverhampton itself, a 40,000 sq ft event space that was once a mass production car manufacturing plant, Starworks Warehouse on Frederick Street, which rather optimistically calls itself the world’s most magical club night, also holds regular music festivals and contemporary art exhibitions

Bogle had become a friend of a wealthy landowner and fellow Baptist George William Gordon, a bi-racial man who served in the Assembly as one of two representatives from St. Thomas-in-the-East parish. Gordon was instrumental in Bogle being appointed deacon of Stony Gut Baptist Church in 1864. Conditions were hard for black peasants, due to social discrimination, flooding and crop failure, and epidemics. The required payment of poll taxesprevented most of them from voting. In August 1865, Gordon criticised the governor of Jamaica, Edward John Eyre, for sanctioning "everything done by the higher class to the oppression of the negroes".[4]

Bogle concentrated on improving the conditions of the poor.[5] As awareness of social injustices and people's grievances grew, Bogle led a group of small farmers 45 miles to the capital, Spanish Town, hoping to meet with Governor Eyre to discuss their issues, but they were denied an audience.[6] The people of Stony Gut lost confidence and trust in the Government, and Bogle's supporters grew in number in the parish.

Throughout the Western world, a whole generation is being priced out of the housing market. For millions of people, particularly millennials, the basic goal of acquiring decent, affordable accommodation is a distant dream.
Leading economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that to understand this crisis, we must examine a crucial paradox at the heart of modern capitalism. The interaction of private home ownership and a lightly regulated commercial banking system leads to a feedback cycle. Unlimited credit and money flows into an inherently finite supply of property, which causes rising house prices, declining home ownership, rising inequality and debt, stagnant growth and financial instability. Radical reforms are needed to break the cycle.

The following web page discusses the legacy of colonialism at Trengwainton and historic slavery and includes references to histories that some people may find upsetting.
The Price family owned large sugar plantations on Jamaica. They descended from Francis Price (1635-1689) who was believed to be a junior officer at the island’s conquest of 1655. Francis acquired his first Jamaican plantation in 1663, and subsequently bought further estates. In 1670, after England gained formal possession of Jamaica, he acquired 840 acres which he named Worthy Park.
Worthy Park passed through the hands of various members of the Price family, including John Price of Penzance the Younger (1838-97), Rose Price’s father. John Price was mostly absent from Worthy Park, running his plantations from England through local agents. His son Rose Price was educated at Penzance Grammar School, Harrow and then Oxford University, before embarking on a Grand Tour.
In 1791 the family estates in Jamaica, including Worthy Park, were in trouble owing to unscrupulous local agents. Rose Price travelled to Jamaica to assume direct management, where it is claimed he doubled their value.
Rose Price made detailed records which survive in his great plantation book, covering the years 1792-96, now held by the Library of Congress. In this we learn he expanded sugar-cane cultivation by 25% within three years. In order to achieve this, Price had expanded the number of enslaved people at Worthy Park from 355 to over 500. He also introduced adapted Cornish mining technology for mills and brought Cornishmen to assist in the plantation management.
The enslaved people working at Worthy Park came predominately from Africa. They, and their descendants, were deployed in the harvesting of sugar cane, but also worked in the production of sugar and rum. Others worked as carpenters and blacksmiths, a midwife and nurses, and in the 'great house' worked a 50-year-old cook named 'Penzance'. In his great plantation book, Price records the birth of two children with Lizette, a 13-year-old enslaved child, during the three years he spent at Worthy Park. Once older, he sent them to England to be educated.
Rose Price returned from Jamaica in 1795 and that year married Elizabeth Lambert, niece of Lord Sherborne in Gloucestershire. His income from Jamaican estates was then around £6,000 a year, and he continued to invest in further plantations.
Price remained committed to slavery and became a staunch anti-abolitionist. In 1832, whilst living at Trengwainton, he wrote a defence entitled Pledges on Colonial Slavery, to Candidates for Seats in Parliament, Rightly Considered. This included his response to a pro-abolition article published in the West Briton on 7 December 1832. In his response, Price claimed, by giving various examples, that the treatment of enslaved people on plantations in Jamaica was better than of most labourers in England, and 'milder' than in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. His defence of colonial slavery is followed by printed letters in support of his view.
Rose Price died soon after British Parliament passed the Abolition Act in 1833. His executors later received over £10,000 compensation awarded to owners of formerly enslaved people. Despite this large sum, Price’s finances were not sound: he had encumbered both his Jamaican and Cornish estates with substantial debts, and Trengwainton was sold by its mortgage holders in 1835.
We know that there is still work to do in interpreting and exploring this part of history attached to Trengwainton garden and are working with partners through the Inclusive Global History project. Please contact Claire North (claire.north@nationaltrust.org.uk) for further information.

With the United States ramping up deportations under President Donald Trump, the Jamaican Government is raising concerns about the return of individuals with serious criminal backgrounds. Among the 52 deportees who arrived on Thursday were persons convicted of violent crimes, prompting the National Security Council to assess risks and formulate strategies to manage potential threats. Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith acknowledged that while some returnees have only breached immigration laws, others pose security challenges.
Jamaica Gleaner/31 Jan 2025/Andre Williams/Staff Reporter
COURTNEY WILSON appeared lost as he stepped on home soil for the first time in 33 years on Thursday after he and 51 other Jamaicans landed at the Norman Manley International Airport after being deported from the United States.
In fact, it was his first real sense of freedom in more than a decade after spending the last 13 years in a US prison.
“I got in some trouble,” was all he was ready to admit as he spoke to The Gleaner after emerging among the first of the deportees released after hours of processing.
Thursday’s deportation exercise was part of the routine involuntary removal of Jamaican citizens from the North American country, which happens every last Thursday.
It was, however, the first such chartered flight to Jamaica since President Donald Trump returned to office on January 20 and amid reports that some 5,120 Jamaicans were on a list of close to 1.5 million migrants in the US targeted for removal by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
While awaiting the arrival of his brother to pick him up, Wilson expressed concern for his family left in the US. He noted that he left Jamaica in 1993 and was residing in
Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania.
“My kids and grandkids are there. It’s not a good feeling. I just got a great-granddaughter who will be three next month. I have not met her yet,” Wilson told The Gleaner.
Noting that he was penniless, he questioned the money allegedly paid by the American government to the Jamaican Government for the deportation process.
“I hear the Americans give the Jamaican Government money for every deportee, but we don’t see that,” he said. “Ask any deportee and dem tell yuh that. That is the story we hear.”
The Gleaner was unable to corroborate the claim.
Wilson said he counted six women on the flight, which landed about 10 a.m. on Thursday. One of the women told The
Gleaner that she was away for a short time, illegally crossing the Us-mexico border just three months ago.
The air was filled with anticipation as nervous relatives milled about, scanning the faces of all arriving passengers to find their kin.
“It’s been eight years since he went away,” one sibling told The
Gleaner. “I’m just excited and anxious to see him.”
Tears and hugs followed as others were reunited with their loved ones though some were not as fortunate.
A few deportees were handed over to local police for continued investigation into charges they had absconded. One man, whose head was covered, was taken by St James police while another, wanted for murder in Clarendon, was dragged into a nearby holding cell until officers from that parish arrived.
On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in her debut press briefing, stressed that the Trump administration would be ramping up deportations.
“The president has said countless times that he is focused on launching the largest massdeportation operation in American history of illegal criminals, and if you are an individual, a foreign national who illegally enters the United States of America, you are, by definition, a criminal, and, therefore, you are subject to deportation,” she said.
On Wednesday, the Jamaican Government said that the National Security Council was assessing risks associated with the deportation of Jamaicans with serious criminal backgrounds and was formulating strategies to mitigate potential threats.
In a statement yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith noted that some individuals set to be deported may have breached immigration laws but have otherwise been law-abiding residents engaged in productive employment.
She said others have been convicted of serious criminal offences, including violent crimes.
Johnson Smith said the Government was concerned about the potential impact of the anticipated increased return of individuals with serious criminal backgrounds and is taking steps to ensure public safety.
She urged Jamaicans in the US who are concerned about their immigration status to seek professional legal advice.

By the end of 1865 the "Governor Eyre Case" had become the subject of widespread national debate. In January 1866, a Royal Commission was sent to investigate the events. Governor Eyre was suspended and recalled to England and eventually dismissed. The national government changed that of Jamaica. The House of Assembly resigned its charter, and Jamaica was made a Crown Colony, governed directly by Britain.[9]
The "Eyre Controversy" turned into a long and increasingly public issue, dividing well-known figures of the day. It may have contributed to the fall of the government.
In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution, and nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of these people were from Germany, Ireland, and England - the principal sources of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration.
With the onset of hard economic times in the 1870s, European immigrants and Americans began to compete for the jobs traditionally reserved for the Chinese. With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure, especially in California, for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century.
Immigrants entered the United States through several ports. Those from Europe generally came through East Coast facilities, while those from Asia generally entered through West Coast centers. More than 70 percent of all immigrants, however, entered through New York City, which came to be known as the "Golden Door." Throughout the late 1800s, most immigrants arriving in New York entered at the Castle Garden depot near the tip of Manhattan. In 1892, the federal government opened a new immigration processing center on Ellis Island in New York harbor.
Although immigrants often settled near ports of entry, a large number did find their way inland. Many states, especially those with sparse populations, actively sought to attract immigrants by offering jobs or land for farming. Many immigrants wanted to move to communities established by previous settlers from their homelands.

Sex after 50 can be fulfilling, but it may require more planning and thought than in previous years. Some factors that can affect sex life after 50 include:
Here are some tips for having a good sex life after 50:
As you age, some conditions or medicines may put a damper on your sex drive and performance. But don’t think that if you’re in the over-50 crowd, you have to settle for a less-than-fulfilling sex life.
You can still enjoy sex -- you just may have to put a little more thought and planning into it than you did when you were younger.
Here are 7 things you can do to keep sex exciting and fulfilling for you and your partner:
You may think of sex as leisurely, but you can work up quite a sweat during lovemaking. Here are a few reasons why getting fit can help you get it on:
It strengthens your muscles. Nothing can kill a mood faster than hurting your back or pulling a muscle. Check into the best strength-training exercises for you.
It improves your mood. Exercise can release chemicals in your brainthat make you feel better and more at ease. When was the last time you felt blue and also interested in sex?
It helps you look better. Regular exercise can keep your body looking its best and that can help your confidence and boost your sex life.
For women, regular physical activity might help with arousal.
Women may also benefit from what’s called Kegel exercises. They can make your pelvic floor muscles stronger. You can identify those muscles the next time you pee by stopping in midstream. You can practice tightening and relaxing those muscles several times a day.
Men who exercise are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction, or ED, than men who are inactive. If you enjoy long-distance bicycling, make sure you have a soft, comfortable seat and a bike that fits you properly. This can help you avoid a potential ED problem.
Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin any new exercise program.
When you’ve been with the same partner for a long time, you may want to come up with ideas to add a little variety to your sex life.
The answer might be something as simple as changing the time of day you have sex. If you’re too sleepy at night, maybe sex in the morning is right for both of you.
Some other ideas to keep things interesting:
If you or your partner can’t do this anymore, there are other options for you to enjoy closeness and pleasure.
The simple but intimate acts of kissing and touching should not be overlooked. You and your partner may also consider:
If arthritis or ongoing pain makes sex less enjoyable, find ways to feel better. Try a new position that’s easier on your body or use pillows for support.
If you have back pain, for instance, have sex side-by-side instead of in the missionary position, which can make back pain worse.
Plan sex for a time of day when you feel your best. Ahead of time, take a warm bath or some pain medicine if you need it so that you'll be more relaxed.
The side effects of some medications can cause sexual problems. Some that can do this include:
If you have reason to suspect that any of your meds are dampening your sex life, talk with your doctor.
Before you reconnect with your partner, give your body time to recover. Once you have your doctor's OK, start slowly with sensual touch and kissing.
Speak honestly with your partner about how you're feeling, both physically and emotionally.

Your ex broke up with you and were thinking about trying the no contact rule, but they have already moved on to someone new.
You might ask yourself if there’s even a point in trying the no contact rule anymore.
Well, spoiler alert: The no contact rule CAN and does work when your ex is seeing someone else… but only if you do it right.
That’s right; there’s a lot more to the no contact rule than what you might think, so let’s first talk about what the no contact rule is.
The no contact rule is basically the foundation upon which an entire strategy of getting an ex back (or even moving on from them) is built.
I’ve written several articles on it, filmed many different videos, and even done podcast episodes over it.
But what is this elusive no contact rule?
Well, simply put, the no contact rule is a period of time where you ignore your ex on purpose with the intent of making them miss you, while at the same time working on upgrading your life in all necessary areas.

The no contact rule is basically the foundation upon which an entire strategy of getting an ex back (or even moving on from them) is built.
I’ve written several articles on it, filmed many different videos, and even done podcast episodes over it.
But what is this elusive no contact rule?
Well, simply put, the no contact rule is a period of time where you ignore your ex on purpose with the intent of making them miss you, while at the same time working on upgrading your life in all necessary areas.
How does this work when your ex has moved on?
Does it lose effectiveness in that particular case?
Well, I think to properly answer that question we need to talk about two things:
Let’s start from the top.
When the average person wants to learn about the no contact rule, they Google it and wind up on either my site or someone else’s website and learn about the note contact rule, but they fail to understand the true meaning behind it.
Remember the definition I just shared?
Well, people only read up to the “making your ex miss you” part, and they miss the memo about upgrading their life.
Yes, the no contact rule can make your ex miss you, but it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that they will miss you. Really the secret sauce of the no contact rule is what you’re using your time to do during the no contact rule.
When I interview real-life success stories of people who’ve used the no contact rule to get their exes back, the one big pattern I noticed is that they didn’t sit around, hoping the no contact rule was going to make their ex miss them.
Instead, they took ownership of their lives during the no contact rule and became refined versions of themselves that they could then wow their ex with when they actually started talking.
Sure, there’s been a few cases where the no contact rule was basically all it took for their ex to come begging back, but that’s not the case 90% of the time, so I wouldn’t bet on it.
Usually, people get their exes back because of the growth they experienced during the no contact rule.
Almost every success story I talk to shares the same experience about the no contact rule: feeling absolutely defeated and depressed for the first two weeks but then going on to realize that they are WAY better than this.
That Eureka moment is followed by those success stories giving more time to self-love so they can realize their true potential and basically stop caring about whether their ex comes back.
According to our success stories, getting your ex back when they’ve moved on isn’t just a function of what you do with your time during the no contact rule, but actually the length of time you stay in the no contact rule.

Beauty icon
Miranda Kerr is one of the world’s most beautiful people. She’s a professional model, an author, an entrepreneur and a world-wide beauty icon. She also happens to be a huge advocate of noni and Thrive Adaptogenics, and she talks about it whenever she gets an opportunity.
In a recent issue of Life & Style, a European publication with a circulation of over 125,000, Kerr calls Tahitian Noni® Juice (now known as Thrive Adaptogenics) an integral part of her daily diet. She often calls noni her “Beauty Secret”.

During a recent appearance on Conan, Miranda sat down with Conan O’Brien to discuss a variety of subjects including her love of noni. Miranda called noni her “beauty secret,” and enthusiastically shared its benefits with a nationwide audience.
“[Noni] is a fruit which orginates in Tahiti,” Kerr told O’Brien.
“It works on a cellular level to re-energize all the cells.”
“I drink it all the time!” Kerr added.
beverages are the ideal choice for all those
who seek to maintain an active and balanced lifestyle while facing the challenges of modern life.

In the 60s, long before Trevor McDonald and Moira Stuart became household names, a 26-year-old from Jamaica was a regular on the news. Then the racist letters and calls started
Ellen E JonesThu 7 Jan 2021 06.00 GMTShare
In 2008, Barbara Blake-Hannah sat down to write a letter of admonishment to the Guardian. “I must put history right,” she wrote, explaining that a poster issued by the paper was incorrect. It contained, she noted, the common misconception that Trevor McDonald was the first Black person to report the news on British TV after he joined ITN in 1973 and that Moira Stuart, on BBC News from 1981, was the first Black woman. In fact, said Blake-Hannah – an author, film-maker and former Jamaican senator – in 1968 she was one of three Thames Television on-camera reporters for the current affairs programme Today, presented by Eamonn Andrews. (The BBC had hired a Black trainee reporter, Eric Anthony Abrahams, a few years earlier.)
At the time her appointment made every daily newspaper, bar the Daily Express. Blake-Hannah claims the Express held out only because “they had a rule: no Black people on the front page”. “Shirley Bassey sang regularly and there were comedians, but we were allowed in an entertainment capacity, not as serious news people, delivering serious stories.”

Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts.
The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition goes a step further, defining culture as shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs and understanding that are learned by socialization. Thus, culture can be seen as the growth of a group identity fostered by social patterns unique to the group.
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones and a million other things," Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in
By the end of 1865 the "Governor Eyre Case" had become the subject of widespread national debate. In January 1866, a Royal Commission was sent to investigate the events. Governor Eyre was suspended and recalled to England and eventually dismissed. The national government changed that of Jamaica. The House of Assembly resigned its charter, and Jamaica was made a Crown Colony, governed directly by Britain.[9]
The "Eyre Controversy" turned into a long and increasingly public issue, dividing well-known figures of the day. It may have contributed to the fall of the government.

Clinical trials find one-time gene therapy exa-cel offers ‘functional cure’ in 96.6% of patients
View image in fullscreenSickle cell disease changes the shape of blood cells into crescents, hindering blood flow.Photograph: Artur Plawgo/Science Photo Library/Getty Images/Science Photo Library RF
A “groundbreaking” £1.65m treatment offering a potential cure for people in England living with sickle cell disease has been approved for use on the NHS, the medicines watchdog has announced.
Campaigners welcomed news of the approval of the one-time gene therapy, known as exagamglogene autotemcel, or exa-cel, which edits the faulty gene in a patient’s own stem cells.
The NHS estimates that 50 patients, older children and adults with a severe form of the disease, who are suitable for a stem cell transplant but without a matched donor, will each year receive the cutting-edge treatment.
Clinical trials for exa-cel have indicated that the therapy can stop painful sickle cell crises, which occur when blood vessels become blocked, with researchers finding that there was a “functional cure” in 96.6% of participants who received the treatment.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence originally rejected the treatment last March, saying it needed further detail regarding the effectiveness of the treatment.
The condition is more prevalent in people with an African or Caribbean family background, according to the NHS. In England, about 17,000 people are living with the disease. Of those, 4,000 are believed to be eligible for the new treatment.
Sickle cell disease changes the shape of blood cells into crescents, hindering blood flow. Sufferers experience severe painful episodes, which can require hospital admission. Life expectancy can be 20 to 30 years shorter than in the general population.
Toby Bakare, 35, from south London, who has sickle cell disease but received a stem cell transplant, said: “It’s a great day, so many people living with sickle cell disease will now have access to a treatment that gets rid of pain [that] is a blight on your life. I’m lucky I had a sister who was a match.
“Not everyone with sickle has that option so gene editing for those people is a huge step forward. It’s been a long road, but having a transplant has transformed my quality of life for the better.”
Mehmet Tunc Onur Sanli, 42, from London, who was diagnosed with sickle cell disease at 11, said: “Not having to go to hospital for regular transfusions or taking medicine any more would be a dream to me – gene therapy could offer that – but there’s still a lot to consider in terms of the side-effects that could come with this treatment and whether it would be the right choice for me.”
Prof Bola Owolabi, the director of the National Healthcare
The NHS remains committed to rolling out new, innovative treatments to narrow the gap in healthcare inequalities, and this cutting-edge therapy could give patients facing severe sickle cell disorder the hope of a much brighter future.”
John James OBE, the chief executive of the Sickle Cell Society, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to see this groundbreaking gene therapy treatment available on the NHS from today. The significance of this milestone for the sickle cell community cannot be understated – today’s result will give hope to many and is the result of determined campaigning.
“We remain dedicated to our commitment to advocating for improved treatment options and better outcomes for all those affected by this condition. For now, we take a moment to celebrate this historic milestone – a turning point in the fight against sickle cell that promises to change lives for the better.”
Yasmin Sheikh, the head of policy and public affairs at Anthony Nolan, said: “This groundbreaking decision to fund the UK’s first ever Crispr-based therapy for patients with sickle cell disorder represents a leap forward in the treatment of this debilitating and life-threatening condition.”

Counsellor,
My partner and I have been discussing marriage and building a future together, something that I’ve always dreamed of. However, we’ve hit a heartbreaking obstacle. My partner’s parents are opposed to our marriage. Their primary reason seems to be rooted in their concerns about my family background. Unfortunately, my family has had our share of struggles, and I can’t deny that things are complicated. To put it bluntly, they are broken, toxic and dysfunctional. I’ve worked hard to overcome my share, but it feels like his parents are judging me solely based on where I come from, rather than who I am as a person. I love my partner, and he supports me through everything. But this rejection from his family has put a strain on our relationship. It’s hard not to feel inadequate, like I’m not worthy of their acceptance. I don’t want resentment or anger to take over, but I also want to stand up for myself and the life I’m working to build. How do I deal with the pain of being rejected by his family, because of this generational curse?
Understood! I can perceive how disappointed you must feel. It’s unfortunate that in this beautiful world such unpleasant things can happen among people. I remind folks, life very often is unfair, but God Himself is always good. Be encouraged! Before we delve into the dynamics of the situation, let me say that I pray that you do have “thick skin”, and that you are immovable from your ultimate goals.
I hope you know your worth and are confident in your potential. And I also hope you will not allow anyone’s opinion or words about you to determine your sense of self-worth. Take heart knowing that many people have stood in the same spot you find yourself in. And they have navigated their way out of self-doubt, self-pity, and thoughts of inadequacy. What others have done, so must you do too.
My advice:
Cancel self-pity: Knock it off! You shouldn’t entertain any feeling of rejection. Why give them the power to discombobulate you? Celebrate the fact that you have pushed through to the character you are proud of. That’s great!

Related: Woman defends charging family £150 for Christmas Day dinner
SIGN UPI would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our privacy policy
A woman has sparked discourse online after sharing why she decided to charge her family for staying over during Christmas.
In a post shared to the “Am I the A**hole” forum on Reddit, a woman revealed why she planned to charge her relatives after their previous visit left her home in chaos. She explained that she recently purchased her “dream home,” a four-bedroom house with a sprawling backyard and a pool, an upgrade she’s deeply proud of.
As someone who lives alone, she noted that she enjoys keeping her home in pristine condition. However, her sister, husband, and their three children recently asked if they could stay with her for Christmas. She was initially open to the idea, writing: “They live out of state and wanted to spend the holidays with our family without paying for a hotel.”
But memories of their last visit made her apprehensive.
“They stayed with me for a weekend last year, and it was a disaster,” she recalled. “The kids destroyed my sofa with markers and spilled juice on my rug, which I had to replace. My sister brushed it off, saying, ‘Kids are kids,’ and didn’t offer to pay for the damage.”
RECOMMENDED
The ordeal cost her more than $500 in replacements, as she added: “Her husband barely helped with cleaning or watching the kids. I felt like a maid in my own house.”
As a result, the woman decided to set boundaries to protect her space and sanity. While she agreed to let her sister’s family stay at her home, she introduced a “house guest agreement” outlining specific conditions. The agreement required her sister to pay a $100 cleaning fee upfront, immediately cover any damages, and contribute $50 per night for utilities, citing the increased heating and water costs during the winter.
Although she viewed the terms as reasonable, her sister did not.
“She called me greedy and said I was treating my family like ‘Airbnb guests,’” the woman wrote, adding that her sister accused her of ruining the holiday spirit. The disagreement escalated, with their parents siding against her and labeling her “cold-hearted.”
Her sister argued that she was prioritizing money over family, leaving the family divided. The woman wrote: “I think I’m being fair by setting boundaries, but maybe I’ve taken it too far? I don’t know, please help.”
In the comment section, commenters were quick to chime in, with one Reddit user recommending that she refuse their visit altogether.
“Better if you said no,” the commenter wrote. “Regardless of how much money you charge, the kids probably won’t be any better behaved. The husband won’t be any less lazy, and neither of them will be better parents. You’ll be on edge the whole time, and they’ll be resentful.”
“Just say no, dude,” another person agreed. “I mean, she’s gonna be pissy whether you say no or present her with a contract that — come on — you definitely knew was going to piss her off. Just choose the easier option of ‘no’ and move on.”

Others supported her decision, suggesting her sister’s family stay with their parents who sided against her.
This video illustrates how many people in the uk see the way in which our country is being run.
Do you have an opinion about the state of our support systems and how they can be improved on.
In the UK approximately 40 years ago we had youth clubs and community centres virtually country wide which dealt with issues in the community at the point of need and in real time.
The point at which these services were axed by governments,
the contact between the ruling parties and community people have declined.
Has many adult have a negative outlook about young people in general, I felt it was a good time to remind the adults that they were responsible for the removal of our community hubs

The writer-star has had a baby, lost a close friend and published a memoir in lockdown. She talks about the trouble with male comedy writers – and why she wants to make a sketch show all about the clitoris
n the day in April that Rachel Bloom finally took her newborn daughter home from the hospital, one of her best friends died. Her daughter had arrived with fluid in her lungs, into a maternity ward that was rapidly filling with furniture as other wards were transformed into Covid wards. Bloom, tired and elated to be home, had a nap. Her husband woke her with the news: Adam Schlesinger – the well-loved musician and one of Bloom’s closest collaborators on the musical-dramedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend – had died from Covid-19 in a New York hospital, aged 52.
For a wild and strange period, it was unclear how to grieve. Schlesinger, like so many of this year’s dead, had no funeral. Jack Dolgen, the third part of the songwriting trio behind the TV show, came to mourn with Bloom, standing 15ft from her fence. Aline Brosh McKenna, the showrunner, stood in the street. “We didn’t know anything, there was no testing, we didn’t know how this thing spread,” Bloom says. “Now we have a Crazy Ex Zoom, where we all talk. But there’s nothing natural about it.”
Scrawny and proudly nerdy (“I sang show tunes under my breath and used words like ‘parlance’”), Bloom attracted bullies, then developed anxiety, which has stayed with her. She shed the bullies for a time in high school, when her talent for performing suddenly made her cool. At New York University, she majored in musical theatre, but was daunted by the competition of her cohort. So, at 19, she refocused on the college sketch comedy group.
There she found herself pursued by two older male members, her comedy mentors, and dated both. But when she decided the dynamic was getting too messy and told both men it was over, they helped to persuade other men in the group to have her thrown out.
Just a year ago, Bloom called one of the men who had helped to remove her to explain the impact this had on her. “He had always known the situation was fucked up, but it took me calling him out. I told him: ‘I’ve been pissed at you. This was terrible and it hurt me and what you did was wrong.’” He did it, she says, “because he was afraid, because he was working on a script with these guys. It was bros before hoes.”

BBC Radio 2Trevor Nelson's Rhythm Nation
As a pioneer in the urban music scene, he set up his Madhatter Soul Sound System in the 80s. Nelson started his broadcasting career on the fledgling London's Kiss FM, originally a pirate radio station. Nelson helped the station become legal and gain a licence in 1990. Nelson was both a daytime DJ and director. In 1996, Nelson moved to BBC Radio 1 to present the first ever national R 'n' B show, The Rhythm Nation[1] and a year later began the first ever R&B Chart Show on a Saturday afternoon. Nelson stayed at Radio 1 until 2013.
From 2007 Nelson presented the Breakfast Show on the newly launched BBC Radio 1Xtra and in 2008 launched a weekly soul show on BBC Radio 2 whilst also presenting shows on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra. July 2019 Trevor Nelson’s Rhythm Nation began broadcasting four nights a week on BBC Radio 2, replacing his Wednesday evening soul show.
Nelson currently broadcasts across two radio networks. Trevor’s Soul Nation airs Mon-Thurs 10pm-12am on BBC R2. He also has a weekly Sunday show on BBC R1 Xtra from 11am-1pm. He previously presented weekdays, Monday to Friday 10:00am until 13:00 show on BBC Radio 1Xtra between 2008 and 2016.
In November 2016 it was announced that Nelson would be leaving his weekday 10 am – 1 pm show on 1Xtra[3] and moving to Saturday and Sundays 4 – 7 pm, showcasing the best in new and old R&B music, with DJ Ace taking over his slot. He had held this slot since 2011 after leaving the 1Xtra breakfast show which he presented with Gemma Cairney and previously Zena McNally.
In 2010 he was awarded with the special gold lifetime achievement award for his services to broadcasting, at the Sony Radio Academy Awards.
On 21 March 2017 he was a presenter for Sara Cox's Red Nose Day danceathon from 2 am to 5 am.

Mary Jane Blige[1][17] was born on January 11, 1971, at Fordham Hospital in the Bronx, New York City, to nurse Cora and jazz musician Thomas Blige. She has an older sister, LaTonya Blige-DaCosta, a younger half-brother, Bruce Miller, and a younger half-sister, Jonquell, both from a relationship Blige's mother had with another man after divorcing her first husband.[18][19]
Blige spent her early childhood in Richmond Hill, Georgia,[20][6] where she sang in a Pentecostal church.[21] She and her family later moved back to New York and resided in the Schlobohm Housing Projects, located in Yonkers.[22] The family subsisted on her mother's earnings as a nurse after her father left the family in the mid-1970s.[23] Her father was a Vietnam War veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism.[22]
At age five, she was molested by a family friend; as a teenager she endured years of sexual harassment from her peers.[24] She would eventually turn to alcohol, drugs and promiscuous sex to try to numb the pain.[25] Blige dropped out of high school in her junior year.[26]
Influenced by the music of Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight,[27][28]she began pursuing a musical career. Blige spent a short time in a Yonkers band named Pride with band drummer Eddie D'Aprile. In early 1988, she recorded an impromptu cover of Anita Baker's "Caught Up in the Rapture" at a recording booth in the Galleria Mall in White Plains, New York. Her mother's boyfriend at the time later played the cassette for Jeff Redd, a recording artist and A&R runner for Uptown Records.[18] Redd sent it to the president and CEO of the label, Andre Harrell. Harrell met with Blige, and in 1989 at the age of 18, she was signed to the label as a backup vocalist for artists such as Father MC,[29] becoming the company's youngest and first female artist.[21]

Raised in extremely religious Pentecostal families, K-Ci and JoJo – then known as Little Cedric & the Hailey Singers – originally performed and recorded as a gospelgroup, releasing three albums; Jesus Saves, I'm Alright Now, and God's Blessings.[11][12] K-Ci would later draw comparisons to Michael Jackson during his gospel career.[13] Separately, Mr. Dalvin and DeVanté Swing performed and toured in their own family's gospel group called the Degrate Delegation. The studio is where the duos later made acquaintances through relationships the members were in at the time. In a 2011 interview, Dalvin stated, "there was this girl gospel group called UNITY and then the Don DeGrate Delegation, which Devanté and I played in. So we met some of the girls from UNITY and [one] was dating K-Ci before we even met [and she] would always tell us that we need to meet K-Ci and JoJo."[14] A short time after meeting, the brothers started living together after leaving their families to pursue musical careers.[15]
At 16, DeVanté Swing traveled to Minneapolis, hoping to visit Paisley Park in order to audition to Prince.[16][17] Swing would later say, "I was up at Paisley Park every day begging for a job, asking people to listen to my tape. The receptionist kept saying she couldn't help me".[18] The rejection motivated Swing to relocate back to North Carolina, and work to improve his songwriting and production skills.[19] Upon arriving, Swing continued to record with the group's additional members, eventually forming Jodeci, and began work on a demo tape to present to label executives. The name Jodeci is an abbreviation of all the members names. "Jo" comes from JoJo, "De" comes from the last name of the DeGrate brothers, and Ci comes from K-Ci.
