Liv Shaw, who’s survived cancer twice and carries a rare genetic condition that puts her at lifelong risk, found her true love in Sam — also a cancer survivor who met her at 16. Their bond, built on humor and unwavering support, has weathered everything from amputations to life-altering surgeries. After learning she has Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Liv bravely chose preventative surgery to reduce her cancer risk — all while Sam stood by her side, making every day brighter. Now, she’s fighting to fund research that could one day prevent cancer before it starts, including exploring a diabetes drug’s potential to block tumors. Her story is a powerful call to action: with science and love, we can turn fear into hope.

The Greater Manchester mayoral race is heating up with a new voting system—Supplementary Votes—that lets you pick both a first and second choice. Unlike last time’s first-past-the-post, this twist could reshape the outcome: if no one hits 50%, the top two battle it out with second-preference votes counted. Labour may benefit from Green and Lib Dem second-choice support, while Reform voters might be less likely to back rivals. Experts say it could give winners broader mandates but risks electing a compromise candidate over a true favorite. With no party even close to 50% in recent local races, those second votes could be make-or-break—especially for Reform, who thrived under the old system.

Chicken breast prices are surging across major UK supermarkets, with Lidl and Morrisons both hiking their rates to around £2.29 for 300g — now matching each other, though Tesco and Sainsbury’s remain slightly pricier. Despite the climb, Lidl still edges out Aldi as the cheapest overall shop, with a total bill of £13.32 — just shy of Aldi’s £13.33 — in a long-running comparison tracking prices since March 2022. Asda, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons defend their value propositions, while Aldi argues product differences make direct comparisons misleading. Tesco remains the most expensive for the fifth week, at £13.75, with Sainsbury’s at £13.57 — partly thanks to a beef mince price drop. With chicken now a key cost driver, shoppers and supermarkets alike are locked in a tight, budget-conscious battle for value.

A young life was brutally stolen when Leon’s body was found in the River Irwell — mourned as a “King” and “champion” by friends who’ve flooded the park with tributes. Authorities confirm no foul play, but urge caution near open water as three tragic drownings hit Greater Manchester this weekend, including a teen at Cowbury Reservoir and a woman in her 60s at Island Lodge. Police are sounding the alarm: rivers, canals, and ponds are deadly, especially in warm weather — a chilling reminder to stay safe and never underestimate nature’s hidden dangers.

Oldham Council is racing against time—just two weeks to appoint a leader or face legal chaos. Since July 1st, with no party holding a majority and multiple failed leadership bids, the council has been running on emergency powers, halting key decisions and canceling meetings. Legal counsel Alex Bougetaf issued a stark warning: without a leader and children’s services chief, the council is operating unlawfully, risking costly government intervention and plummeting service ratings. The July 15th deadline looms—after that, inaction won’t be an option, it’ll be a legal liability.

Keir Starmer is stepping down — but he’s leaving Labour in strong shape, ready to win the next election. He’s openly supportive of frontrunner Andy Burnham, praising their decades-long partnership from shadow cabinet days to major projects like Northern Powerhouse Rail and even their swift collaboration after a synagogue attack. Starmer admits he likes Burnham — even if they disagree on football — and vows to offer only requested advice, staying behind the scenes. He highlights his government’s key wins: tackling antisemitism, stabilizing the economy, and securing a 2024 victory. Burnham, meanwhile, promises continued support for Ukraine and stronger ties with the EU — and no early election. Starmer’s exit was unplanned, but he’s confident his legacy sets up Burnham for success.
