Why do younger women need a special session away from older women?’10 hours agoA British gym has banned women aged over 24 from training there during peak hours, and people aren’t happy. ], the 36-year-old said she received a text from her gym saying that women over 24 could not train there from 4pm to 7pm. 93 per cent of voters on the Mumsnet AIBU poll said the original poster was not being unreasonable. One commenter even called the move “ridiculous”, saying: “That’s absolutely ridiculous! I’d feel furious.”Another also spoke out in agreement with the original poster, adding: “So a woman over 24 can’t go to the gym straight after work any more?

Family Court permits publication of judgments concerning children of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon
Following a successful cross-media application, the Family Court this week published the judgments of the Family Court concerning the children of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon, the couple who were this week convicted of gross negligence manslaughter of their newborn baby while living “off grid” in a tent. The Court held that, firstly, there was a significant and legitimate public interest in the public understanding the background to the death of their baby daughter, Victoria. Secondly, the information about the Family Court proceedings which is currently in the public domain as a result of the criminal trial is partial and incomplete. If there is to be public debate about the decision-making process that took place in the Family Court, the court held, it is very much in the public interest that the debate should be fully informed. Sarah Palin instructed by David Marshall of the BBC, acted for the BBC, Times Media Group, Telegraph Media Group, and Associated Newspapers.

UK jobs market weakens as unemployment rate rises
The UK jobs market has continued to weaken, making the prospect of an interest rate cut next month even more likely, analysts say. The annual rate of pay growth in the three months between March and May slowed to 5%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The unemployment rate has risen to 4.7%, its highest in four years, while the number of job vacancies has now been falling continuously for three years. The government said "we need to go further" to improve the economy, while the Conservatives said the unemployment rise was a "disgrace".

England vs Sweden penalties live: Lionesses count injuries after surviving drama to progress at Euro 2025
✕ Close England survive chaos to reach Euro 2025 semi-finalsEngland are through to the semi-finals of Euro 2025 after surviving a thriller against Sweden, with Lucy Bronze and Hannah Hampton the heroes in the penalty shoot-out. The Lionesses began the match in the worst possible way and Sarina Wiegman’s side were punished for their defensive sloppiness as Kosovare Asllani sent Sweden ahead inside the opening two minutes before Stina Blackstenius doubled their lead. Changes were made by the coach and the introduction of Chloe Kelly was the turning point with the Arsenal forward providing two assists as Bronze and Michelle Agyemang, another substitute, scored late in the game to force extra-time and penalties. The shoot-out was low on quality, with nine misses in total and both goalkeepers on top form. Bronze rattled one down the middle to put England ahead at 3-2 and Hampton’s heroics ensured England’s title defence goes on.
