Her acerbic pen and astonishingly indiscreet memoirs have caused outrage among the political establishment. But former minister's wife Sasha Swire has admitted she was naive and insists she was surprised by the furore her book has caused, especially her claims about David Cameron. 'Maybe I was naive,' she said in an interview to promote Diary of an MP's Wife: Inside and Outside Power. 'But I'm terrified of causing trouble. People are going to make this all about David; they won't see the integrity of the diary as a whole.' The controversial book, packed with personal anecdotes and private conversations often involving sexual or lewd behaviour, has upset past and present senior Tory politicians – and led to suggestions that she is doomed to 'social Siberia'. Sasha Swire, 57, insists she was surprised by the furore her book, Diary of an MP's Wife: Inside and Outside Power, has caused - especially her claims about David Cameron However, Lady Swi

It was a day that began like most for morning radio host Travis Winks  - he swatted at his 3am alarm and dragged himself to work, unaware his life was about to change forever. For three hours he entertained Wollongong breakfast listeners alongside Mel Greig before going home to nap, watch TV, and wait for his wife Amanda to get home. But that Monday in 2016 began a 67-day period in which his father was shot dead by police, his sister found herself behind bars, and his brother almost died in a suicide attempt. The shocking series of events ripped apart his close-knit family-of-six and left those who survived still wracked by guilt and anger. Travis with his then co-host Mel Greig, with whom he presented the WaveFM 96.5 breakfast show in Wollongong throughout the worst two months of his life Travis still has to fight back tears at the thought of his dad Russell Winks, 65, never getting to see his 10 grandchildren grow up. 'This 67-day period in my family's life is burned into my

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's final weeks have been described by friends and relatives, who told of her remarkable vigor, and their shock at her death on Friday. Ginsburg, who died at the age of 87, was still seeing family, exercising, listening to opera and working right up until her death.  She even officiated at a wedding. Those who had been in touch with Ginsburg or her staff recently said she seemed to be coping with treatment for cancer and also making plans for events months away.   Mary Hartnett, one of her two authorized biographers, visited Ginsburg in mid-August at her longtime home in the Watergate apartment complex next to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.  She told AP that Ginsburg was 'plowing ahead' despite a cancer recurrence. 'She was trying very hard to treat this, and essentially her body just gave out,' Hartnett said. Ginsburg, famous for her workouts, was still exercising despite her advancing illness A day after returni

Half a million adults may have type 2 diabetes without even realising it, a study has revealed. Scientists analysed blood samples from 200,000 Britons aged between 40 and 70. They found that 2,000 of them had very high blood sugar levels, indicating they had diabetes, but had not yet been diagnosed with the condition. This suggests that 1 per cent of the UK – over half a million people – could be living with type 2 diabetes without knowing it. Diabetes is mostly diagnosed by measuring the level of HbA1c, a haemoglobin which is chemically linked to sugar, in the bloodstream File The study by the University of Exeter suggested that a national screening programme should be brought in to improve diagnosis. Experts said symptoms of type 2 diabetes, which include frequently going to the toilet, being thirsty and feeling tired, are easy to miss, especially during the early stages.  Co-author Dr Katherine Young, said: 'As people can have type 2 diabetes for many years without symptoms, dia

 CANCER sufferers have told how they felt abandoned by the NHS as it turned its focus to coronavirus. Patients had vital operations cancelled and missed out on potentially life- saving treatments because tackling Covid-19 had become the sole focus of the health service. In one shocking case, a rectal cancer sufferer was told their operation was being cancelled and all they could do was to pay £25,000 to have it carried out privately. The patients’ plight has emerged in a dossier of complaints to hospitals obtained by the Daily Mail and revealed today. Documents show how critically ill cancer patients complained of being denied vital information, refused tests and put to the back of the queue for treatment, leaving them angry and scared and potentially with less time to live. Cancer sufferers have told how they felt abandoned by the NHS as it turned its focus to coronavirus Experts fear the number of people dying as a result of delays triggered by the treatment of Covid patients could e
