Jason Flemyng, a British actor, was found speeding at 24 mph and given a driving ban. The Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels star’s Kia Sorrento was speeding at 20 mph.
The actor already had 12 points on his license after being caught speeding for the fourth time last year. Due to an administrative error in the justice system, he had not been given a driving ban.
He was given a six-month driving ban and a total fine of £775 after admitting to speeding in Clapham, south-west London, which is close to where he lives.
The court shouldn’t waste their time, I say. He had stated, “I accept what has occurred. When questioned about whether he wanted to claim exceptional hardship, he responded, “Well, driving is everything I do for a living and doing for charity.”

Before I drove 24 mph in a 20 mph zone, I should have given that some thought.
Jason Flemyng, who was also a part of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, both directed by Ritchie, is well known for his work. Additionally, Matthew Vaughn directed Layer Cake, Kick-Ass, and X-Men: First Class, which he also acted in.
Jason made an announcement about working with his friend Jason Statham earlier this year. When asked why he had been a part of the A Working Man cast, he responded, “Stata and I have been friends for almost three decades. I liked the script, so it wasn’t the script. Fantastic directors Statham and David Ayer were the two of them. I adore his movies. You’re aware that he creates and molds you, and that he is a good director. That was a fantastic experience, therefore. It was also fantastic to spend four or five weeks with my good friend Jason messing around and laughing on set.

The final outstanding alpha male, Jason Statham. Every girl desires him. Every boy desires to be him. He is the final member of the Alpha male film hero. For that, I adore him. He is also the sweetest, gentlest man. Everyone desires to see a movie starring Statham. And since Transporter 2, they haven’t seen Statham and Flemyng together. You must watch it, then, because of this.
As for what’s next, Jason revealed he was just back from Malaysia, where his children had been filming for a BBC adaption of Lord of the Flies. He also revealed he was working on Trigger Point, the ITV drama starring Vicky McClure.
Following a long summer break, many celebrities shared photos of their children’s first day back at school.
The biggest names in the showbiz industry take to Instagram to share photos of their children returning from school each summer. Summer is truly over, and the famous students have been getting ready for their upcoming class reunion with the help of grey clouds and rain.
One of the many people who accessed their pages was Megan Pickford. The wife of football player Jordan Pickford shared a photo of her three young children playing in the garden on Instagram. The rest of her children were dressed up for school, with the exception of the youngest, who was wearing a school uniform. As Meghan captioned her post, “So proud. So proud. My three tiny magnets.
Kate Ferdinand also shared a sneak peak of her busy day by wearing a vest and sweatpants for a brief period of time while getting ready for the school run. She remarked, “Morning, guys. My new appearance is this. I’m prepared for the school run with travel tablets, a breakfast for the day, and water.
Kai, Coleen Rooney’s son, posed in front of the mirror in his school uniform and looked less than impressed.
The US Space Command headquarters, which he founded in his first year as president to “defend US interests in space,” will be relocated to Alabama, according to President Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday.
What is going on and why it matters is described below.
US Space Command: What Is It?
US Space Command, or “SpaceCom,” was established in Trump’s first year as president in 2019 and is headquartered at Colorado Springs, Colorado’s Peterson Air Force Base. The US military Space Force is a distinct entity.
US military operations are conducted at Space Command when the Earth’s atmosphere is not present. US satellites are typically protected from external threats during these missions.
Around 1,700 people work at Space Command, according to congressional records. In order to carry out its missions, it makes use of joint forces from the US Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force. According to the website of Space Command, it is “protéging and defending the space domain.”
The secretary of defense, currently Pete Hegseth, is the US Space Command’s head, who is in charge of the president.
Trump’s move to Alabama would explain why?
Trump asserts that he had always intended to relocate to Huntsville, Alabama’s Redstone Arsenal for the US Army. He announced on Tuesday that “the beautiful location of Huntsville, Alabama, will forever be known as Rocket City” and that the US Space Command headquarters would relocate there as a result of its early involvement with the US space program.
Huntsville was initially chosen as the SpaceCom corporate headquarters. Trump remarked as he addressed Republican members of Alabama’s congressional delegation at the Oval Office, saying that the Biden administration’s plans were improperly obstructed.
Because “they fought harder for it than anybody else,” the US president continued, noting that Huntsville had won the election to become the city’s headquarters.
Trump made a critical assessment of Colorado’s mail-in voting system during his announcement on Tuesday. Trump has frequently asserted that mail-in voting was used to rig elections for him.
One of the biggest issues I have with Colorado is that they do mail-in voting. They used mail-in voting, which automatically results in clumsy elections, according to Trump. Residents of Colorado can cast their ballots by mail or in person, but most of the time it is done by mail.
Republican states like Nevada and Utah, which are primarily Democratic, also use mail-in voting.
Trump said that Alabama was a red state, but he said it did not account for his choice. “We adore Alabama. I only managed 47 points in total. Trump said to reporters and lawmakers at the Oval Office, “I don’t believe that influenced my decision, though.”
As Trump announces the creation of US Space Command in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington on August 29, 2019, President Donald Trump, left, observes Vice President Mike Pence and Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
So why did Colorado have Space Command?
The Air Force selected Huntsville’s Redstone Arsenal as its preferred location for Space Command in 2021.
It was chosen after conducting site visits to six states, taking into account Department of Defense’s budgetary considerations, community support, and infrastructure capacity. An environmental impact assessment was still pending, though. The Government Accountability Office, which is the nonpartisan research arm of Congress, released a report claiming there were “significant shortfalls” in the Air Force’s selection process for the headquarters after this assessment was finished in 2022.
Colorado Springs would become the Space Command’s permanent home in 2023, according to then-President Joe Biden, a Democrat. Colorado had been the command’s temporary home.
Trump claimed on Tuesday that the Biden administration “wrongfully obstructed” his initial plans to relocate the command to Huntsville.
What justifications exist for Colorado Springs versus Huntsville?
The Biden administration decided in 2023 that a disruption in readiness would be avoided by keeping the organization based in Colorado.
According to the Biden administration, moving the headquarters would slow down progress on US space missions, which are in line with China’s rise in military space.
Local news outlets reported that Colorado lawmakers had predicted a lengthy transition before the construction of the new headquarters in Alabama would be finished by 2030.
However, this was disputed by Alabama’s representatives, including Dale Strong, the Republican representative for the state’s 5th congressional district. According to Colorado Public Radio, they claimed Alabama’s construction would only take 14 to 18 months.
Another justification for keeping the command in Colorado is that Colorado Springs is home to the US Air Force Academy, which now has graduates who are both military and civilian employees for the US Space Force. Additionally, Colorado has three Space Force installations.
In Huntsville, however, were the first rockets built for the US space agency. The Marshall Space Flight Center, which was established in 1960, is the city’s largest center. The Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command is located in Huntsville, which also houses some of the country’s first space missiles, including the Saturn V rocket.
The Pentagon Inspector General acknowledged the “risks to readiness inherent in moving the headquarters from its provisional location” to Huntsville in a report released in April of this year. He claimed that because Huntsville’s labor and construction costs would be lower, it would save about $426 million.
What role does politics play in this conflict?
By preventing more than 400 military nominations and promotions, Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville was mobilizing against the Pentagon’s abortion policy in the 2023 election.
When a service member needed to travel abroad to get an abortion or other forms of reproductive healthcare, Tuberville was particularly opposed to the Pentagon’s proposal to reimburse travel expenses. In December 2023, the Senator lifted the restriction on military promotions.
In a 2023 interview, US officials from the Biden administration claimed that the abortion controversy did not affect Biden’s decision to remain in Colorado.
What have people said about the most recent announcement?
Hegseth praised Trump’s decision on Tuesday, saying that while the space race is still important, it will ensure that we stay LEAPS and BOUNDS ahead. The future of warfare will depend on who has control over the sky.
Moving Space Command, according to the congressional leaders of Colorado, includes four Republicans, who also released a joint statement, saying that it “sets our space defense system backwards, wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, and gives the advantage the convergent threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.”
On the other hand, Alabama’s leaders hailed the announcement. Thankfully, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are putting our country’s security first, according to Tuberville in an opinion piece for 1819 News, a local news outlet in Alabama.
Three parliamentarians are calling for an investigation into the claims that a group of former Premier League players were victims of “financial abuse.”
The V11 campaign group, which includes 11 footballers who made investments with Kingsbridge Asset Management in the 1990s and 2000s, includes Danny Murphy, Brian Deane, and Rod Wallace.
Some players now owe millions in taxes, while others have lost tens of millions of pounds.
The case, according to Lord Mann, Alex Sobel, and Sarah Bool, was described as “a failure of regulation, accountability, and duty of care.”
They were responding to the BBC documentary Financial Shame: The Story of the V11, which aired on Tuesday.
Kingsbridge’s former owners David McKee and Kevin McMenamin have denied any wrongdoing.
These victims have been let down, according to the statement.
Up to 200 footballers may have been affected, with some going bankrupt and losing their homes.
The cross-party parliamentarians asserted that this wasn’t a case of greed or poor decisions.
These men followed advice that they believed to be reliable and saved for their futures, according to what we asked of them.
We think that these victims have been let down by the football industry, regulatory bodies, law enforcement, and other sectors as well as their advisers.
In 2018, the City of London Police opened an investigation.
Two years later, the force stated that there was “insufficient evidence to support a realistic chance of conviction.”
Kingsbridge employees were not the subject of any charges.
A fair and timely resolution to the decade-long tax dispute is what Lord Mann, Sobel, and Bool demand.
Bool claimed she wants to see HMRC implement a “leniency package” for the V11 group.
HMRC stated in a statement that it is “duty to collect tax when it is legally due.”
This season, the first minimum salaries for English women’s football players will be introduced. These players make up the top two professional women’s teams.
One of the requirements put forth by WSL Football, the company in charge of England’s professional leagues, is this.
WSL Football wouldn’t say what the starting pay would be, but it is described as a “full-time wage.”
When the revised WSL and WSL 2 regulations are released later this year, it is anticipated that the salary range will be made public.
Following consultation with the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA), the salaries will be based on thresholds like the age of the players, the league they play in, and their level of experience.
That’s a really good decision, we think. According to Holly Murdoch, the chief operating officer of WSL Football, “we have so many players who have had to balance part-time roles while playing football.”
It is extremely important to be able to guarantee that all of our players can make a full-time wage in the game of football. It’s the first step, in my opinion, because it provides a foundation on which to build.
We have discussed these thresholds with the PFA in a really close partnership. That will be constantly being reviewed.
Clubs must also meet higher standards for high-performance environments in addition to minimum wage requirements.
Following the conclusion of a multi-year partnership between Nike and WSL Football, All WSL and WSL 2 players without an endorsement deal will receive football boots and goalkeeper gloves as part of the agreement.
Additionally, there is a brand-new collaboration with the outside business Kyniska Advocacy, an athlete-led organization that aims to develop new safeguarding standards.
As a separate means of raising welfare concerns, all players will have access to their private support system.
We are aware of the disparity caused by the game growing so quickly. There are elements we must mandate, Murdoch added, because part of that creates a competitive advantage.
One of the requirements will be to play a “performance wellbeing” role. By the end of the season, we will be requesting that full-time employment from all clubs.
We want to ensure that our players are getting ready for both on and off the field, both mentally and physically. That position is crucial.
Making fundamental shifts is never simple.
Due to the club’s owners’ unwillingness to comply with the league’s new requirements, Blackburn Rovers withdrew from WSL 2 in May.
The criteria include minimum standards for things like elite facilities, full-time staff, wellbeing, and contact hours with players.
At the start of the season, each club conducts a compliance and development review.
The club’s current financial framework has reached a point where the growing financial and operational constraints, including the requirement to switch to a fully professional model, cannot be continued.
Wolves pushed for promotion, but they chose to withdraw from WSL 2.
Murdoch acknowledged that the game’s rapid expansion had challenges.
“We have been looking at how to implement the necessary policies to support all of our clubs, players, and supporters,” Murdoch said.
It strikes a balance, it says. Over 40 formal meetings with league members or key stakeholders were held over the course of the past six months.
We take care to ensure that we set the bar for what professional women’s football in this country looks like and what its minimum standards look like.
ownership of multiple clubs and integrity-preserving
The range of ownership models that are currently being introduced in England is one of the most significant developments in women’s football.
London City Lionesses were promoted to the WSL in May thanks to the purchase of American businesswoman Michele Kang in December 2023.
In addition to being the owner of Washington Spirit and Lyon, Kang is eight-time champion of the American Women’s Champions League.
Alexis Ohanian, the owner of American club Angel City, who founded Reddit, also purchased a stake in WSL champion Chelsea in May.
Players switching between those clubs during the transfer window has become a contentious matter. Where does WSL Football stand on it, then?
The multi-club ownership model is undoubtedly a hot topic right now in football. I don’t believe that this is the right course of action is practiced by everyone,” Murdoch said.
“We are completely examining how multi-club ownership models can be used in women’s football without compromising the integrity of the league.
“Mann’s football adheres to strict regulations around this,” he said. We are currently looking into and reviewing this.
“We need to know how to make that investment work.” There is no definitive response because it is evolving, but we must make sure we have the appropriate guidance.
Chelsea’s women’s team was revealed in April as Chelsea sold to parent company BlueCo for £198.7 million, which helped to turn the wider company around.
Everton and Aston Villa followed suit, selling their respective women’s teams to parent companies The Friedkin Group and V Sports, respectively.
There are undoubtedly numerous advantages to having a separate board, distinct leadership teams, and independent investors, according to Murdoch.
The women’s team is a very different business with a different stage of development. You can see the significant benefits that those changes bring.
Racism-related incidents are “horrible and unacceptable.”
They hope to increase player support as part of the new WSL welfare regulations, which aim to improve online abuse and racism among players.
A man was detained last month for racist abuse Jess Carter, England’s football player, during Euro 2025.
After Antoine Semenyo, the Bournemouth player, reported being racially abused during their Premier League opener against Liverpool, a man was also detained.
WSL Football claims that it implements the same policies as the Premier League to combat racism.
We hold ourselves accountable for this. Women’s football is inclusive and has always been. That is something that we want to preserve, Murdoch asserted.
It “feels fundamental to the game’s success.” We want a game where our fans can be incredibly proud of it and our players can succeed.
“The summertime incidents were unacceptable and horrifying.”
“I was pleased to see how it was handled in the Premier League game, despite what I saw. The protocols apply exactly to us.
The BBC Radio 5 Live podcast’s Women’s Football Weekly returns with Ben Haines, Ellen White, and Jen Beattie for a second season. On the Women’s Football Weekly feed, you can find interviews and additional content from the Women’s Super League and beyond as well as new episodes that are available every Tuesday on BBC Sounds.
Red Devils of Salford, a troubled Super League team, has been given a second adjourned after a winding-up petition filed.
After the club claimed they were confident in obtaining a bridging loan to pay a tax bill to His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the petition was initially adjourned in June.
A massive player exodus, late pay, and severe defeats in 2025 have caused the club to sit bottom of the Super League table, both on and off the field.
“This encouraging outcome is significant because it will allow Red Devils of Salford to play the remainder of our matches this season.” It reflects the club’s resilience and the ongoing efforts being made in the background to secure its long-term future.
We also want to express our ongoing gratitude to everyone who has helped the club. Your support is crucial to what propels Salford forward, whether it is in the stands, in the community, or elsewhere.
Salford’s fortunes contrast sharply with Paul Rowley’s successful 2024 campaign, which saw them finish in fourth place and earn a play-off spot.
A consortium led by Swiss businessman Dario Berta completed a takeover of the Red Devils on the eve of the 2025 season, prompting the club to request an advance on their 2025 distribution payments.
The Red Devils fielded young opponents and faced a record 82-0 defeat by St Helens at the start of the season because of a sustainability cap that the Rugby Football League had placed on the club.
Owners of Salford have stated that the club will continue despite its financial difficulties, and chief operating officer Claire Bradbury has stepped down as manager after she claimed that the club’s ownership suggested she “sleep with someone at the Rugby Football League” to help them.
Due to “significant” “welfare concerns,” with the club having only two senior players available, which later caused the Super League game between Salford and Wakefield to be postponed, leading to a fan protest.
The club’s owners gave Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Salford Mayor Paul Dennett assurances that they would be able to complete the season on August 25.
