Sainsbury’s shoppers are heaping praise on a “fabulous” jacket they’ve spotted online. The retail giant is well known for its on-trend and affordable fashion – and now there’s a new must-have in stock.
Customers are eager to snap up the Tan Contrast Collared Barn Jacket, which costs £45 and comes in a range of sizes, though it is selling out quickly. The Sainsbury’s jacket features long sleeves, a collar and front pockets.
The full product description reads: “Update your outerwear this season with our tan barn jacket. Designed in a durable fabric, it’s been made with a contrasting brown collar in a corduroy material.
“Finished with zip and popper fastenings. An easy-to-wear piece for autumn/winter outings.”
The Sainsbury’s jacket has achieved a 4.8 star rating online, accumulating numerous glowing reviews. Among them, one customer said: “Great jacket. Not one to buy from Tu but this purchase a great addition to my winter wardrobe.”
A second wrote: “Great fit. Cosy autumn jacket. This jacket is a great fit. Very comfortable. Definitely worth the money. Would recommend.”
A third happy review read: “Amazing buy. This is an amazing jacket for the price. Great quality and looks expensive. Very impressed and will definitely buy more TU clothing.”
However, some shoppers claimed the sizing of the jacket was on the bigger side, which is something to keep in mind when ordering online. A number of shoppers said sizing down in the jacket was ideal.
Despite this, others continued to praise the jacket. One shopper said: “Recently bought and delighted with it. Have had loads of compliments, everyone thought it was a designer jacket!”
Another wrote: “I have now returned but reordered in a size 12. This jacket is lovely and warm. It has lots of stylish features, including a zip plus popper fasteners. The pockets also have fasteners. With an adjustable inner cord it is going to a must wear this winter. Also a colour that will go with anything!”
England great James Anderson is set to extend his playing career past his 44th birthday by signing a contract extension to play for Lancashire in 2026.
Seamer Anderson, England’s all-time leading wicket-taker, agreed a year-long deal at Old Trafford for the 2025 season after retiring from international cricket in 2024.
He took 17 wickets in six County Championship matches, but his performances in the shortest form of the game were particularly impressive.
Playing T20 cricket for the first time in 10 years, Anderson took 20 wickets in Lancashire’s run to Blast finals day, form that earned him a deal with Manchester Originals in The Hundred – his first experience of franchise cricket.
Anderson also captained Lancashire in the County Championship, a role he could resume in 2026.
At the beginning of last season, Anderson suggested he could play three more years for Lancashire, which would take him to 2027 and the age of 45.
Anderson ended his legendary international career after the first Test against West Indies at Lord’s in 2024 after being told he was no longer part of England’s plans.
The pace bowler sits third on the all-time list of Test wicket-takers with 704, behind spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne.
In April it was announced Anderson will be knighted for services to cricket, an honour he is set to collect in the coming weeks.
In the aftermath of his international retirement Anderson served as bowling consultant for the England team, but stepped away from the role in the past summer to focus on playing for Lancashire.
Tim Southee stepped in, though the New Zealander is likely to only be available for the first Test of the upcoming Ashes series because of his own playing commitments.

Reality TV star and model Katie Price publicly named the famous man who allegedly raped her two decades ago on stage this week, after first talking about the experience in 2009

Model Katie Price publicly named the British celebrity she says allegedly raped her over 20 years ago during her ongoing UK theatre tour with Kerry Katona.
On stage at her An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona show in Stockport earlier this week, the mum-of-five, 47, is said to have “blurted out” the identity of the famous man who allegedly attacked her two decades ago.
But while this is the first time Katie has named her alleged rapist, she has previously discussed the attack and shared why she never reported the man to the police.
In 2009, Katie wrote about being attacked by a “famous celebrity” in her column for a national magazine. Katie, who was 31 at the time, said she had no plans to make a formal complaint and would “absolutely never” name the man.
Following the column gaining national attention, Surrey Police released a statement. The force confirmed that they had recorded an incident but no allegation had been made and they did not plan to investigate unless Katie voluntarily came forward.
A spokesman said at the time: “Surrey Police treats all reports of sexual offences very seriously and investigates them thoroughly, encouraging anyone who may have been a victim to come forward and providing specialist officers to support them.
“Based on our enquiries and the lack of substantiated information – particularly around locations and dates of any allegations – we have recorded an incident, but due to its very historic nature we are dependent on Miss Price’s co-operation to formally record a crime and continue any investigation.”
Katie discussed the rape again in 2017, saying: “I was raped by a celebrity but no, I’ll never name him, I just don’t want the drama. I don’t even know if he knows that I’ve spoken about him, I doubt he does.”
In 2019, 55,259 rapes were reported across the country, but during the same period, there were just 1,659 rape prosecutions and 702 convictions.
Speaking to the Mirror in 2023, Jayne Butler, CEO for Rape Crisis, explained to the Mirror why many women don’t have faith in the police and current legal system when it comes to reporting cases of rape and sexual abuse.
“5 in 6 women who are raped don’t report it to the police, citing embarrassment, not thinking the police will be able to help, and feeling humiliated as reasons why,” she told us.
But it’s not just a lack of hope that reporting your assault will result in a conviction that puts some victims off speaking to authorities. RASA Merseyside, who work with victims of sexual violence to give them back the life they had, told us how “shame, guilt, fear of friends and family finding out and blaming them, losing friends, not being believed, losing phone, fear of medical exam, and so much more” also plays a part when decided not to report rape to the police.
“Imagine telling a complete stranger about the worst and most intimate thing that has ever happened to you. Imagine knowing that this complete stranger will not be there to believe you or to support you, but to ascertain if you are telling the truth. Imagine that first contact,” the organisation based in Bootle, Liverpool tells us when discussing why some rape victims don’t feel comfortable speaking to the police.

“None of us know how we would react until it happens to us but it is unlikely and unrealistic to expect that the first thing we would want to do is tell a stranger – and one who may simply see it as yet another case that day.”

Autumn is that awkward time of year when the wind carries a biting chill, but temperatures haven’t dropped low enough for us to whip out our favourite winter knits.

The Edie Fair Isle Cardigan, available in a variety of plain colours or playful patterns that are sure to spruce up any autumn ensemble, is currently reduced by £47.60.
Touted as a Boden bestseller, this cardigan is spun from a soft blend of wool and cotton, creating a sumptuously warm and cosy feel that’s a must-have for comfortable styling this season.
The knit features Boden’s playful take on Fair Isle patterns, boasting unique designs inspired by vintage knits in soft shades. This piece, in particular, has adopted a colourful fruit motif that adds a fun and contemporary twist to a timeless style.
Shoppers have been quick to praise this piece, as it has amassed numerous 5-star reviews. One buyer beams: “Absolutely beautiful. The green colour is stunning and the colours in the diamond pattern complement it perfectly. Looking forward to wearing this as the months begin to get colder.”
Another shopper says: “So glad I managed to get hold of one of these – it’s simply gorgeous! I get so many compliments.”
Further praise comes from this customer, who raves: “This sweater is perfection. Beautiful floral design and I will be saving it for spring chilly weather here in Texas. True to my US size 8 I ordered a medium. It’s not too cropped and the quality is up to Boden standards.”

And a fourth chimes in: “This beautiful cardigan is making my January. I ordered the vintage mauve color way and it did not disappoint. I’m 6’0″ tall and though that means this cardigan is a bit on the shorter side, it’s not too short at all. Even with low rise jeans, the front hem of the cardi can be barely tucked in, which is a look I love. It will also be perfect with higher waisted trousers. I can imagine wearing this over spring dresses, with my collection of full midi skirts from Boden, and with jeans. Looking excellent with everything. Thank you for another perfect sweater!”
