This is the terrifying moment a homeowner discovers a massive python slithering on his garden fence. The five-foot-long carpet python was spotted enjoying the sunshine in the backyard of a home in Newcastle, New South Wales this week.  The homeowner recorded the moment he stumbled upon the giant serpent and posted the footage to Reddit.  'Yep, Aussie summer is in full swing,' the caption read.  The homeowner said his cat had been placed under 'house arrest' while the snake was still slithering around.  'There's plenty of bush turkeys the snake can take on down the road though,' he said.  And while many social media users found the footage terrifying, others were impressed.  'What a beauty!' one wrote. 'Looks like a pet to be honest,' wrote another.  Carpet pythons, also known as diamond pythons, grow two to five metres in length and can weigh up to 15kg.   They are slow-moving and non-venomous but can inflict a painful bite - although they

The war is over. As 2021 dawns, the most dramatic political conflict of our lifetime will draw to a close.  This issue, which has broken prime ministerial careers and divided families, will no longer dominate our lives in the same way. While the precise terms of our leaving may continue to be finessed for some time, the fact that the anti-EU movement ever got this far is a political miracle. It was back in 1990, when Britain joined the ill-fated Exchange Rate Mechanism, that I became a Leaver.  The war is over. As 2021 dawns, the most dramatic political conflict of our lifetime will draw to a close, writes Nigel Farage It was apparent to me that the European Common Market and Free Trade area, as it was originally known in the spirit of post-war reconciliation, had turned into an undemocratic monster. As the arch-Europhile Tony Blair later admitted: 'The rationale for Europe today is not peace; it is power.' All of Britain's political parties, business lobbies and most of th

A pilot has traced an image of a syringe in the skies above Germany to celebrate the launch of coronavirus vaccination campaigns across Europe.  Samy Kramer said he hoped the stunt would be 'a fun and unconventional way to raise awareness'. The majority of European Union countries began inoculating vulnerable people on Sunday, while Hungary, Slovakia and Germany started a day earlier.  Kramer took to the skies on Wednesday in a Diamond DA20 single-propeller plane. Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24.com showed the small plane tracing the image of a syringe above Friedrichshafen, a German town 126km (78miles) from Stuttgart. 'It was to set sort of a reminder to people and raise awareness that the vaccine will be available,' Kramer told Reuters news agency.     A pilot has traced an image of a syringe in the skies above Germany to celebrate the launch of coronavirus vaccination campaigns across Europe.

Doctors, MPs and care chiefs have warned the Government that its vaccine programme could turn into a 'shambles like the PPE fiasco' if distribution issues with its jab rollout are not fixed. Hundreds of GP surgeries and hospitals are still waiting to receive doses of the Pfizer vaccine, while doctors warn they are having to cancel appointments for the elderly due to a hold-up in receiving the jab. Meanwhile, only seven areas of England have so far received the vaccine, meaning just 3,000 of the country's 15,000 care homes can currently access the jab - sparking criticism from care chiefs. Yesterday MPs urged ministers not to repeat the PPE 'shambles', which saw care workers facing a shortage of PPE at the start of the pandemic. The British Medical Association told the Sunday Mirror that any distribution issues 'must be resolved as a matter of urgency'.

Viewers have complained to the BBC after its festive service Carols From King’s failed to feature a single non-white chorister. None of the 13 singers on the programme, which aired on BBC2 on Christmas Eve, appeared to be from an ethnic minority. The choir is made up of 16 boy choristers selected by their school, King's College, and 14 undergraduates studying at Cambridge University. One viewer told The Mail on Sunday: 'All the young choristers were white. I’ve got mixed-race grandchildren and I was appalled. 'I can’t believe that the King’s College School doesn’t have any black pupils who can sing.' A spokesman for King’s said the line-up changed after some of the singers were forced to self-isolate due to coronavirus. 'King's College is a diverse community whose commitment to equality of access and wider participation is reflected in every aspect of College life,' they said. 'Sadly, the diversity of the College was not expressed in the televised serv
