Yes, you can. For most healthy adults, a handful of cherries first thing is perfectly fine, and nothing suggests they harm your stomach or stop you from absorbing nutrients. The only snag is sugar, not timing. Cherries carry sorbitol and fructose, and a big bowl eaten on its own can leave you gassy, bloated or […]
Yes. Former England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips and his professional partner Alexis Warr were eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing 2026 on Sunday 25 October, after losing a dance-off to actor Jaime Winstone and her partner Carlos Gu. He became the fourth celebrity to leave the series, and it happened on his 45th birthday. That one-line answer […]
Verdict: Mostly False No. As far as the experts tracking them can tell, there is no wild raccoon population living and breeding in the UK. Raccoons do turn up now and then, and the recent cases that can be traced involve escaped animals rather than wild-born ones. The species is treated as an invasive non-native […]
Yes, Russell Brand has said he intends to stand for Mayor of London in 2028. He announced it on Tucker Carlson’s YouTube show in April 2026 and said he was campaigning as of “now”. He is not a formal candidate yet, and he admits he may be in prison on polling day. So the real […]
There is no verified figure for Angela Rayner’s net worth. Published estimates run from roughly £500,000 to £4.7 million, and none of them show their working. What the public record does confirm is her pay, her declared outside income, one known property and the outcome of the stamp duty dispute that ended her first spell […]

Short answer: There is no credible evidence that Kim Jong Un is dead. As of October 20, 2026, North Korean state media says he toured a garment and footwear exhibition in Pyongyang on October 19. The photos come from the government, though, and no independent party has verified them. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is no credible […]
Quick Answer: Earth is the third planet from the Sun, about 4.54 billion years old, and the only planet in the universe with life. Water covers about 71% of the surface. The air is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. The inner core has a temperature of 5,400°C. Most lists of facts about the planet we […]
One grey tick means your message has left your phone and reached WhatsApp’s servers, but it has not yet been delivered to the recipient’s device. It says nothing about whether the message has been read. Most of the time the tick changes within seconds. When it doesn’t, the reason is usually ordinary: the other person’s […]
So, can diet improve gut health? For most healthy adults, yes. The change with the best evidence behind it is boring: eat more fibre-rich plant foods, eat fewer ultra-processed ones, and stick with it for months. Detoxes and “reset” plans don’t hold up. Neither does the idea of one perfect gut diet. Probiotics fall somewhere […]
