The Fleece Jacket comes in six different colours, including Stacey’s beige version that’s easy to pair with anything. Other colours include black, burgundy, khaki and pink, so there’s a colour to suit your style. Or of course you could snap it up in multiple colours, considering how affordable it is.

It’s worth noting that a couple of colourways are slightly different in price, although still budget-friendly. Whilst the khaki, black and beige options are all £20.15, the sage green on is £21.32, the pink is £21.56, and the burgundy shade is the priciest at £24.07.

It comes in sizes small to extra large, and is made from a warm fleece material that’s a great layering piece to wear in winter, but is still lightweight enough to wear in the spring or autumn on its own. The relaxed, oversized fit means it’s also perfect for throwing on over chunkier knits without being too bulky or snug.

Stacey’s Fleece Jacket has a classic collared neckline, with voluminous sleeves and patch pockets on the chest for a cool utilitarian look. It also fastens with press stud poppers up the front, so you can wear it open like a jacket or fastened like a shirt.

Next shoppers could also pick up a similar Fleece Shacket for £32, which comes in cream or khaki and has a more streamlined design with side pockets. Alternatively, the Polar Fleece Shacket (also from Next) is £25 and comes in a range of prints if you want something a little more colourful or bold.

Alternatively, the Borg Lightweight Hooded Jacket is £40 at Marks & Spencer if you want something a little cosier and snuggly for the cold weather. It comes in four chic neutral colours, and has a 4.6 star rating from shoppers who’ve praised how comfortable it is to wear.

Adam Peaty makes pointed dig at mum as he shares first photos from stag do

Adam Peaty has given fans a sneak peek into his stag do festivities ahead of his upcoming nuptials to Holly Ramsay later this month.

Following recent headlines about the Peaty family feud, which included retracted invites and threats of violence, Adam took to social media to share a montage of happier times.

He captioned the series of snaps: “A few good weeks to backend the year [salute emoji].” One photo featured him donning a T-shirt adorned with fiancée Holly’s face and the words “wife 2 be”.

The 30 year old swimming ace was seen strolling alongside a mate in an airport en route to Budapest for the lads’ weekend.

Another image showed him casually sitting on the bonnet of an Aston Martin, possibly belonging to his soon-to-be father-in-law, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

A third snap captured Holly, 25, beaming during a cosy festive date night at a bustling restaurant, while another saw Adam decorating a Christmas tree with his five year old son George perched on his shoulders.

Fans thought the shout outs to Holly could be seen as a dig at his mum after taking his wife’s sad following the upset over her hen do.

As Adam and Holly tie the knot this month, Adam’s mum Caroline won’t be in attendance amid a growing feud in the family, which kicked off when Caroline wasn’t invited to Holly’s hen party. Holly’s mum and Adam’s sister were in attendance, alongside family friend Victoria Beckham.

Caroline took to social media to say she’d been hurt most by the people who love her after she was left at home caring for Adam’s young son while the festivities went on in the Cotswolds.

Adam recently broke his silence to share a statement about the feud. In a statement, he said: “For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard on trying to improve myself as a person who wants to contribute to making the world a better place.

“I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times. Bethany, Holly and I will get through this – we do not ask for sympathy. We just need people to be aware that there are always two sides to every story. To those of you who have reached out and shown kindness and understanding – thank you. It is deeply appreciated.”

Adam’s comments came after his mum gave a big interview, where she said her son was “in Gordon Ramsay’s clutches”. She also issued a personal message to Adam through the media.

In a direct message to her son, she said: “I know it’s the end. But please, the message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point.

“There’s nothing you’ve done that I would not forgive. I love you so much. I hope your marriage is a good one, I don’t wish any ill on you and I want you and Holly to have a long and happy marriage. The reason I’m speaking out is I want all this to end.”

Since then, Adam’s mum has seemingly taken a fresh swipe at her son amid reports that Bethany and her partner will be attending the wedding. Bethany and Adam remain close.

The quote she shared read: “I don’t remember every gift I opened when I was 5, 6, or even 10. I remember the smell of the kitchen, the glow of the lights, the way love felt louder in December. It wasn’t the presents it was the presence of my parents who did everything they could to make the magic happen.” Adam and Holly will tie the knot at Bath Abbey on December 27th in a Christmas wedding.

ICC judges stoic in face of US sanctions over Israeli war crimes cases

Judges and prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have been cut off by banks, credit card companies and tech giants like Amazon as a result of sanctions brought by the United States President Donald Trump administration over war crimes investigations into Israeli and US officials.

The Associated Press news agency reported on Friday on the sweeping and punitive effect of the US sanctions on nine staff members – including six judges and the chief prosecutor – of The Hague court.

The measures, introduced in an executive order by Trump earlier this year, block their access to basic financial services and everyday activities like online shopping and email, and prevent them from entering the US, subjecting them to the same restrictions as those brought against figures like Russian President Vladimir Putin, who nevertheless was allowed to visit the US state of Alaska for a summit with Trump in August.

“Your whole world is restricted,” Canadian judge Kimberly Prost, one of the ICC officials targeted by the sanctions, told AP.

The ICC, the world’s permanent war crimes tribunal with 125 member states, was targeted with the restrictions in February, with the White House saying the move was in response to the “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel”.

The order followed the ICC’s move to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for “crimes against humanity and war crimes” committed during its genocidal war on Gaza.

Neither Israel nor the US is a member of the ICC.

‘Now I’m on a list with those implicated in terrorism’

Prost, who was named in the latest round of sanctions in August, told AP that she had lost access to her credit cards, had purchased e-books vanish from her device, and Amazon’s Alexa stopped responding to her.

“It’s the uncertainty,” she said. “They are small annoyances, but they accumulate.”

Prost had been sanctioned for voting to allow the court’s investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Afghanistan, including by US soldiers and intelligence operatives.

“I’ve worked all my life in criminal justice, and now I’m on a list with those implicated in terrorism and organised crime,” she said.

Luz del Carmen Ibanez Carranza, a sanctioned Peruvian judge, said the US travel sanctions, which also extended to family members, meant her daughters could no longer attend conferences in the US.

The sanctions threaten businesses and individuals with substantial US fines and prison time if they provide sanctioned people with “financial, material, or technological support”, driving them to withdraw services to the targeted individuals.

“You’re never quite sure when your card is not working somewhere, whether this is just a glitch or whether this is the sanction,” deputy prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan told the AP.

Reports of threats over warrants

The sanctions are reportedly only one of the measures that have been levelled against the court in an attempt to exert pressure over the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.

In July, the Middle East Eye (MEE) website reported that the court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, was warned that he and the ICC would be “destroyed” if the warrants were not withdrawn.

The threat reportedly came from Nicholas Kaufman, a British-Israeli defence lawyer at the court linked to a Netanyahu adviser. Khan said the Israeli leader’s legal adviser told him he was “authorised” to make Khan a proposal that would allow the prosecutor to “climb down the tree”, the news website reported.

The site reported in August that Khan had also been privately warned by then-British Foreign Secretary David Cameron in April the previous year that the UK would defund and withdraw from the ICC if it issued the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant, while in May 2024, US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham also “threatened” Khan with sanctions if he applied for the warrants.

In May, Khan’s office announced he had taken a leave of absence pending the conclusion of a UN-led investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against him, with two deputy prosecutors assuming his responsibilities.

Customs Extend Fast Track Migration Deadline To January 2026

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has extended the deadline for the migration of all beneficiaries under the Fast Track Scheme to the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) Programme, from December 31, 2025, to January 31, 2026.

Disclosing this in a statement, NCS spokesman Abdullahi Maiwada, said the move was in line with the service’s commitment to deepening trade facilitation, securing supply chains, and strengthening compliance with global standards.

“The extended timeline provides operators with ample opportunity to meet programme requirements and secure AEO certification without disruption to their business operations,” the statement read.

He described the extension as a reinforcement of the service’s commitment to ensuring a seamless and inclusive transition process for all stakeholders.

According to Maiwada, the decision to fully migrate from the fast-track scheme to AEO aligned with the World Customs Organisation (WCO) SAFE Framework of Standards and supported by Sections 108 to 111 of the NCS Act, 2023.

The NIS spokesperson asked all existing Fast Track beneficiaries who had yet to complete their migration to initiate and conclude their AEO applications through the official platform:aeo.nigeriatradehub.gov.ng.

“For enquiries, technical support, or guidance, stakeholders may reach the dedicated helpdesk via [email protected].

“Only companies duly certified under the AEO Programme will continue to access the facilitation privileges previously available under the Fast Track Scheme,” he said.

The AEO programme, he stated, is a globally recognised compliance-based initiative that grants trusted operators enhanced benefits such as expedited cargo release, reduced documentation, lower inspection levels, pre-arrival processing, and greater predictability in cross-border trade.

Maiwada said that NCS would convene another comprehensive stakeholders` engagement forum on December 18 in Lagos, aimed at providing practical guidance on the AEO`s migration process, demonstrating application procedures, and addressing compliance-related concerns.

He said participants would have the opportunity to interact with AEO implementation teams and get access to comprehensive information on programme requirements, benefits, and operational modalities.

“The NCS urges all fast-track beneficiaries to take advantage of the extension period, participate actively in the engagement forum, and complete their transition to the AEO Programme.

“This proactive involvement not only ensures compliance with applicable regulations but also enhances the supply chain’s effectiveness and sustainability, fostering a collaborative environment that benefits all parties.

Davina McCall’s husband returns to social media after secret wedding and blasts ugly hotel

Newly-married Michael Douglas has hit out at a ‘terrible’ hotel room he was staying in on Thursday night – following his secret wedding to TV presenter Davina McCall.

Davina McCall’s new husband Michael Douglas was back to work as a celebrity stylist after their low-key wedding with family and friends, and took to social media to slate a hotel room he was staying in during an Instagram live.

It emerged on Wednesday that the 58-year-old presenter had married Yorkshireman Michael, 49, on Friday in an intimate ceremony, attended by ‘everyone who is special in their lives’, following the couple’s shock engagement less than three months ago in Ibiza.

But it was straight back to the day job for Michael, as he was working on comedian Miranda Hart’s hair before she appeared on The One Show, before giong to Cambridge for another job where he had to stay overnight.

In the live, he said, “’Hello, this is the 11th advent live on the 11th of December. How are you all? It’s just a quick one tonight, I’m in a hotel room tonight in Cambridge.”

But he admitted, laughing, that he was less than impressed with the accommodation, adding, ‘It’s horrible! I don’t know who designs these hotels these days.”

He explained to fans,”’I am doing hair up here, I have a big job here tomorrow, and I was on The One Show tonight.. I did Miranda Hart’s hair, she was a lovely woman.”

On the live he then began to acknowledge the many messages of congratulations he was getting as he said: ‘Thank you. I forgot yeah! Yes it is all true!’

On her big day, Davina went for a unique white fur-look as she married Michael, dapper in a bright blue suit, in a London ceremony, with pictures showing the sweet moment the pair left Marylebone Town Hall after being declared husband and wife.

On Thursday, Davina praise her ‘lovely’ new husband Michael in a social media post, sharing a video of a poem by Harry Baker, calling it ‘extraordinary’.

It read: ‘It’s not the flowers, it’s the weeding in the mud with you. It’s not the champagne, it’s that cuppa in that favourite mug you use.

‘It’s not the chocolate. OK it is, but not just one or two, it is becoming Bruce Bogtrotter and Augustus Gloop. It’s voting frozen pizza over fancy grub with you. Because some nights, nothing can beat a slice of comfort food.’

The Masked Singer star also reposted Michael’s latest hairdressing video, writing ‘@mdlondon Christmas tips. (Michael u r lovely)’.

It has been a lovely end to a difficult year for the couple, as Davina has battled through surgery for a benign brain tumour, then breast cancer. Indeed, friends of the pair have claimed it was her recent health battles that prompted the couple to put a ring on it.

Davina and Michael had known each other for decades, since Davina’s time as the host of Big Brother. It was only in recent years that a long-standing friendship blossomed into love.

It followed the end of Davina’s 17-year marriage to TV producer Matthew Robertson, the father of her three children Holly, 24, Tilly, 22, and Chester, 19.
