Jack MacKenzie proving his worth to play-off hopefuls Plymouth ArgyleMacKenzie missed much of this season due to injuries after signing for Argyle from Aberdeen last summerView Image Argyle left-back Jack MacKenzie arrives at Home Park before the League One game against Stevenage on 17 March 2026 - Photo: Dave Rowntree/PPAUKTom Cleverley has praised the consistency of Jack MacKenzie since the former Aberdeen left-back finally got the opportunity to start playing for Plymouth Argyle. We are trying to protect him as much as we can, but it's all hands to the pump at the minute. MacKenzie has yet to complete a full 90 minutes in a match, and against Stevenage he was replaced at left-back by Brendan Galloway in the 79th minute. Galloway was playing for the first time since he was injured against Stockport at the end of Stockport and MacKenzie took over from him for the rest of that match.

Zohran Mamdani has no opinion on a united Ireland. That matters more than you think – The Irish Times
It was only eight years ago when the mayor of New York declared St Patrick’s Day “Gerry Adams Day” – it seems we forgot about that rather quickly. On the day before St Patrick’s Day, Zohran Mamdani – Democrat mayor of New York, a figurehead for the new generation of the American left – was asked if he supported a united Ireland. I think when it comes to the future of Ireland, the best people to listen to are the Irish,” he said. Never had I thought a staunchly left mayor of New York would sound so much like a British diplomat. The Irish left too has long been at the forefront of this transition.

Blooming heck! England's largest rhododendron is flowering - and now as big as TEN double-decker buses
England's largest rhododendron has bloomed spectacularly after surviving an incredibly dry summer - and is now as long as 10 double decker buses. The red and pink flowers of the huge plant - dubbed 'shrubzilla' - have bloomed in the sunshine particularly early this year. There's been 'thick growth' all the way around the bush, which sits in the grounds of South Lodge Hotel in Horsham, West Sussex. Rhododendrons love moisture, so a warm, wet winter has been good for it. Last year we had frost quite late on, but this year has been really warm and wet, which is basically very good for the rhododendron.

Less salt, better roads
Mike DeWine has said aims to improve access to clean drinking water by supporting best farming practices, reducing road salt runoff, litter cleanup, dam removal, land conservation and revitalizing water infrastructure. “Although road salt plays an incredibly important role in road safety, high chloride levels in Ohio’s waters can be harmful to aquatic life and be corrosive to local infrastructure like pavement and concrete. Baird said Steubenville typically buys 3,000 tons of road salt every year. “It’s going to allow us to reduce the amount of road salt we use and lowers the temperature at which our efforts are effective. It will be in place before the start of our next winter season,” he said, adding, “It’s the right thing to do – financially, operationally and environmentally.
