Keir Starmer is setting out a 10-year plan for a "Neighbourhood Health Service" in England this morning The government says neighbourhood health centres will provide a full range of healthcare services "right on people's doorsteps" The centres will open six days a week, 12 hours a day, and will also offer "debt advice, employment support and stop smoking or weight management" Starmer says the plan will "rewire and futureproof" the NHS, adding: "It's reform or die" I'm old enough to remember when we had District Hospitals but were mostly closed off the back of pooling resources and saving money. I always thought then it offered no consideration to the patients causing extra travel and longer waiting times sat in impersonal hospitals seeing different Doctors each time. Life seems to be full of deja vu these days as those in charge realise maybe some of the old ways were ok.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rachel-reeves-crying-starmer-pmqs-latest-news-b2781165.html Sir Keir Starmer has backed Rachel Reeves to remain chancellor for "many years to come" after she became tearful during an extraordinary PMQs. The prime minister said it was “absolutely wrong” to suggest her visibly tearful appearance in the Commons related to the welfare U-turn, which put an almost £5 billion black hole in her plans. “It’s got nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with what’s happened this week. It was a personal matter for her. I’m not going to intrude on her privacy by talking to you about that,” he told the BBC. Earlier on Wednesday, the prime minister failed to guarantee Ms Reeves’ future as chancellor when pressed by Kemi Badenoch amid growing speculation over a reshuffle to regain his authority. Ms Reeves wiped away tears as Ms Badenoch told the Commons she looked “absolutely miserable”. Labour minister Ellie Reeves then appeared to be holding her sister’s hand as she left the chamber on Wednesday. Ministerial sources claimed the tears were a result of an argument with Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle prior to PMQs, for which they said he has since apologised. The Speaker’s office has declined to comment.

Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow Leicester's 'temporary' prefabs were good family homes for decades Final few were eventually demolished in the 1980s These two-bedroom bungalows were meant to last only 10 years when they were put up in 1946 to ease the acute housing shortage at the end of the Second World War. They survived way beyond that time and proved popular with the people who lived in them. In 1970, the council rented them to tenants at £2 a week. Prefabricated houses, to give them their full name, were once a fairly common sight in Leicester. They were mostly single-storey dwellings, with a sitting room, two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen, built during or just after the Second World War as temporary housing. Despite their projected lifespan of 10 years, many of Leicester’s prefabs proved to be much more durable, with some lasting four times as long as originally thought. On the Braunstone estate, there were 140; just over 200 were erected in Hinckley Road; New Parks estate had 120 in Aikman Avenue; and there were 141 on the Groby Road side. There were 158 in Wicklow Drive and 31 in Hughendon Drive. Prefab homes off Hinckley Road, Leicester, in 1970

This happened to a lad I knew at Great Yarmouth we were about 50 yards from the shore standing on sand that was just below the surface when all of a sudden it disappeared, we swam/ran back to the shore up to our necks but one lad was left behind. One of the older lads there saw him and swam out and saved him. Ironically a few years later he was having a bath at his home when an electric fire fixed to the wall above the bath fell into the bath an electrocuted him. This might sound crazy having an electric bar fire above the bath but I bought a house that need upgrading that had exactly that, removing it was the first thing I did. It also had a stand alone oven and hob with a socket in the back and there was a kettle plugged into it with the lead, already charred hanging over one of the hobs

Those two things can be dangerous for sportsmen but the Dane, given how the last few years have played out, will take them all day long. For him, it is the perfect platform for him to get back to his best. "The most important for me was to get to a place where I feel welcome, and the gaffer and all the team wants me," said Iversen. "Preston wanted that and I was speaking to Polly for a long time, so it was an easy decision. It's nice to be back!” It’s three summers since Iversen returned to Leicester City, after his second loan spell and 18 months with North End. The shot-stopper looked destined for bigger and better things but has only made 36 appearances in that time - 19 for the Foxes in 2022/23, and 17 for loan club Stoke City the following year. Last campaign, Iversen didn’t make a single appearance. "The year I went back (to Leicester) was really good to be fair," said Iversen. "I was on the bench, played cup games and then finished the season. It was really good, but we got relegated and after that it has just been carnage: not letting me go and stuff like that. There's a lot in the background people don't know; it's been frustrating. I had a lot of options to get out and play but so many people have to agree about a deal, which is what killed it really. I have been waiting for two-and-a-half years to get out and play again." Heading to the Potters for another taste of Championship football was crucial in January 2024. Without that, Iversen could’ve had no match action for a whole year-and-a-half. The desire to go out on loan for game time was always there on his part, and it was a tough period of waiting for him to endure. The hunger to get on the pitch again and perform is sky high. "It was just to play, and then hopefully get sold in the summer with one year left, but Leicester wanted something else," said Iversen. "It wasn't in my hands. It was trying to stay fit (last season) and not get injured in training. I knew I wasn't going to play, so that was tough mentally, but I'm happy to be here now. I feel ready. I've felt that since January really, to come here. I've just been building up. I can't wait to get started." Iversen won Player of the Year at PNE in 2021/22 and endeared himself to the Deepdale faithful. Some of his saves were incredible - most notably two against Bournemouth, to deny Jamal Lowe and Nat Phillips, and a cat-like stop to keep out Hull City’s Tom Eaves. Iversen isn’t overly fond of talking about himself but the latter is one which sticks in the memory. He wants to reach those levels again but won’t pile pressure on himself. "Yeah, I have to play my game," said Iversen. "It will possibly take a bit longer, as it's a long time since I played, but hopefully the pre-season will be good for me and I can be back into it again. It's a big feat to try and do the same again but I will try my best and I will do anything for this club.” He added: “I definitely wanted to come back at one point but football is a strange game really, so you don't know if it is going to happen. Since I came to Leicester, for nine-and-a-half years it has been moving around. Now, I want some stability, also for my partner. We know we're here for at least a couple of years... I’m really happy to be back.”

https://eflanalysis.com/news/leicester-city-chief-is-a-huge-admirer-of-danny-rohl-after-southampton-spell-he-could-be-ideal-fit/ Leicester City chief is a ‘huge admirer’ of Danny Rohl after Southampton spell, he could be ‘ideal’ fit Ethan Todd Tue 1 July 2025 14:45, UK Sheffield Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl is currently the leading candidate for the Leicester City role, and he could have a helping hand with a move to the King Power Stadium. Since suffering relegation to the Championship last season, Leicester City are in a period of change this summer, both in the dugout and dressing room. Leicester parted ways with Ruud van Nistelrooy last week, with the decision expected after the Dutchman oversaw the Foxes’ top flight demotion. Currently, Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl is at the top of Leicester’s shortlist, with Leicester entering talks with Sheffield Wednesday to appoint the German. With Rohl potentially making the switch this summer, a senior Foxes figure is believed to be playing a pivotal role in their pursuit, after witnessing Rohl’s coaching calibre at Southampton. In June, EFL Analysis revealed that Rohl is the frontrunner at Leicester, which would prove to be a popular play within the Foxes fanbase, as many Leicester fans want Rohl to succeed van Nistelrooy. Leicester’s pursuit of Rohl was boosted after it emerged last week that his Owls release clause has been slashed to £1m from £5m. Amid the ongoing financial crisis at Sheffield Wednesday, the German did not return for the Owls’ pre-season, and Rohl told his Owls players he’ll leave this summer. With all the dominoes falling into play for Leicester’s acquisition of Rohl, another factor as to why the former Southampton coach is the frontrunner has emerged, with the Foxes’ head of recruitment Martyn Glover, believed to be a ‘huge admirer’ of Rohl. In a Leicester Q&A, Daily Mail reporter Tom Collomosse said: “First thing to remember about Rohl: he is hugely admired by head of recruitment Martyn Glover, who saw him at close quarters at Southampton, when Rohl was part of Ralph Hasenhuttl’s coaching staff. “Rohl was sounded out when Steve Cooper was sacked last autumn, too – not necessarily as a candidate for that time, but as someone Leicester might turn to in future. Statistic Danny Rohl for Sheffield Wednesday Games in charge 89 Wins 34 Draws 19 Losses 36 Win rate 38% Points per game 1.4 Danny Rohl’s record for Sheffield Wednesday since becoming manager, data as per Fotmob “While all coaches would like some input in transfers, Rohl is a training-ground coach who was educated in Germany, where sporting directors handle transfers and coaches coach. “If Rohl can settle his contract at Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester can avoid compensation, the German could be an ideal fit.” Rohl has also been touted for a move to the Premier League, after Brentford appointed Keith Andrews, but the more likely alternative is to see the German become the new Foxes head coach. Collomosse concluded: “He is also admired by Brentford, potentially to become part of Keith Andrews’ coaching staff, but it would be a surprise if Rohl chose to work for a boss with less experience than he has.” Rohl will have to prove Glover’s acclaim is true, with the latest Leicester rumours pointing towards a potential summer exodus from the King Power Stadium.

https://foxesofleicester.com/ex-wolves-boss-overtakes-in-leicester-manager-race Ex-Wolves boss overtakes in Leicester manager race By Thomas Bradley Alderman An ex-Wolverhampton Wanderers manager has overtaken other contenders for the Leicester managerial race. Who is this candidate and what are his odds of joining the Foxes? Leicester City return Preseason has begun at Leicester City Football Club. The need for a full-time manager is evident, with LCFC legend and coach and interim gaffer Andy King taking charge for the time being. Now that the majority of the Foxes squad has returned, fitness along with sharpness are not the only things they need. Direction and a team ethos to buy into and adhere to are also required. Only a permanent head coach can supply those principles to define the starting lineup. At the moment, since former Leicester leader Ruud van Nistelrooy was sacked at the end of last week, the bookmakers have realigned their list of containing potential incoming people. First of all, Sean Dyche is in the lead - just. In fact, Dyche is given a joining probability rating of just 11/10 - which is ever so slight. However, Sheffield Wednesday man Danny Rohl is only at 5/4 in second place according to Independent. Again, that is usually akin to an odds-on score. Basically, the bookies cannot separate or decide between Dyche and Rohl. Although the former Everton and Burnley boss has close company from another very well-known gaffer. Once Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick is in the third spot for the next Foxes managerial appointment forecasts. The one-time Middlesbrough chief is in front of someone who was recently at Wolves, one of Leicester's Midlands rivals. Who is that supposed candidate? Ex-Wolverhampton Wanderers boss overtakes in Leicester City manager race Gary O'Neil has risen in the stakes to be the new LCFC head coach. Previously with Wolves, O'Neil was known as a fairly innovative and modern coach. "The Englishman has not worked at a club since that departure in December, and while his first two roles were at Premier League clubs, a chance to manage at Leicester in the division below could appeal to him. He’s offered at 16/1 in the early odds. " Independent While it went wrong for O'Neil at Molineux, I see something I like in him. Yet his 16/1 ranking leads us to believe that he isn't currently in contention.
