In this Monday’s Mirror Daily Digest, we’ve pulled together the biggest stories of the day from the government’s advice on 72-hour emergency kits to the Disney Dream cruise ship horror

Welcome to the Mirror’s Daily Digest, where we’ll be pulling together all the best stories of the day from our News, Showbiz, Sport teams and more. This Monday, we’re featuring everything from the government’s advice to Brits on preparing a 72-hour emergency kit, through to the Disney cruise horror after a girl tumbled into the Atlantic Ocean.

We’ve also got an exclusive with Coronation Street legend Sue Cleaver who addressed ‘catfights’ and ‘fallouts’ with her Loose Women co-star Denise Welch. Meanwhile, our Politics team broke the news that around 150,000 people will still be pushed into poverty under the watered-down welfare cuts.

Full list of what every home needs in 72-hour survival kit

Governments in both the UK and Europe have urged residents to assemble 72-hour emergency kits within their homes, filled with essential supplies that could sustain them for at least three days in times of crisis, our News team reports. In the UK, this message has been reinforced by the unveiling of the Prepare website by Oliver Dowden.

This portal provides practical advice for ensuring households are better equipped to deal with various emergencies such as floods, power outages or pandemics. The website has outlined what the emergency kits should ideally contain, with items including non-perishable food, water, baby supplies, first aid kit, and a battery or wind-up radio.

The UK government has acknowledged that buying all these items at once may prove challenging for some. Instead, the advice is to build up supplies gradually as and when possible, avoiding panic buying, reports the Daily Record.

Loose Women star addresses ‘catfights’ and ‘massive fallout’ with Denise Welch

There’s never a dull moment on the Loose Women set, and show regular Sue Cleaver spoke exclusively to Love Sunday about the ITV programme. The Coronation Street icon said: “I love that show. It’s brilliant. I’ve known all the girls for years, so, yeah.”

When quizzed on the speculation about women at war and in-fighting, Sue replied: “They always like to say ‘catfights’, but they only say that about women, don’t they? They wouldn’t dream of saying that when it’s blokes presenting something. Actually we’re very tight. But it happens a lot when Denise [Welch] and I are on together.

“We’ve known each other for 25 years – we’re close friends and have a sort of shorthand in the way we communicate. The press will say ‘massive fallout’, but I’ve never fallen out with Denise in my life! It’s quite awful, we’ve still got so far to go that it’s depressing.”

All 51 Premier League players out of contract today ahead of free transfer moves

Our Sports team has been closely following the latest updates on June 30 cut-off point for football players whose deals had been due to expire at the end of the 2024-25 season. A total of 51 Premier League stars have just hours left on their existing contracts before becoming free agents or sealing free transfer moves, they wrote.

Retained and released lists have been published, goodbyes have been said and lockers have been cleared out. Some players will already have their next move lined up while others enter the free agent market.

Once the clock ticks past midnight and Tuesday begins, those out-of-contract stars are able to join a new club for free thanks to the Bosman rule. There’s been some last-minute movement, though, as Friday saw Manchester United announce that goalkeeper Tom Heaton had signed a contract extension while it was confirmed that Everton captain Seamus Coleman had also signed a new deal.

DWP welfare cuts to result in 150,000 in poverty – despite major U-turn

In other news, our Politics team broke that around 150,000 people will still be pushed into poverty under the government’s watered-down welfare cuts, new modelling suggests. It comes after Keir Starmer offered major concessions last week after a rebellion over 120 Labour MPs threatened the government with defeat in the Commons.

In a dramatic climbdown, the Prime Minister agreed to protect all existing claimants from losing Personal Independence Payments – a key disability benefit. The changes to PIP will now only apply to new claims from November 2026.

But new modelling published by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) today says an additional 150,000 individuals will be in relative poverty after housing costs by the end of 2029-30. The modelling said the estimate does not include any “potential positive impact” from extra funding to support people with disabilities and long-term health conditions into work.

Dad dives into sea after daughter falls overboard on Disney Dream cruise ship

Finally, a dad dived into the waves after his young daughter fell overboard during a Disney Dream cruise in the Atlantic Ocean. Horrified passengers watched as a ‘man overboard’ alert was sounded and a major rescue effort launched.

He managed to keep the terrified girl’s head above water as crew members from the liner took to the seas in a rescue boat and battled to reach them. The drama took place as the $900m Disney Dream was on its return voyage to Fort Lauderdale from the Bahamas on Sunday.

MailOnline reported passenger Dewayne Smith posted to Facebook: “We re on the Disney Dream at sea today and just witnessed a first on a cruise. A little girl fell overboard and her dad jumped overboard to try to save her. Man overboard calls went up immediately. The Disney crew went into action asap. Lots of praying folks on this ship! Both the little girl and dad were both successfully rescued.”

After reviewing footage from Bob Vylan and Kneecap’s sets at Glastonbury, the police launched a criminal investigation. The comments made by both bands at the festival, which included chants from Bob Vylan and Kneecap’s “Death to the IDF” and “F*** Keir Starmer,” have caused a lot of backlash.

Avon and Somerset Police announced in a new update that “the audio and video footage from Bob Vylan and Kneecap’s performances on Saturday at the Glastonbury Festival has been reviewed.”

We have concluded that additional inquiries are necessary and that a criminal investigation is now being conducted after that assessment process has been completed. This investigation will now be led by a senior detective.

“As our inquiries are still in progress, this has been flagged as a public order incident.” The investigation will be based on evidence, taking into account all applicable laws, including those relating to hate crimes.

They continued, “We have received a lot of contact from people all over the world in relation to these events and we are aware of how strong public sentiment is. There is no place for hate in society.

Neighbourhood policing teams are speaking with members of their local communities and key stakeholders to make sure anyone who needs us knows.

The public can be assured that the work we have done and are doing will be handled with respect on Saturday. Because an investigation is already raging, we ask the public to stop contacting us about this matter.

Following both Kneecap and Bob Vylan’s performances over the weekend, police announced they were looking into footage taken from the West Holts stage.

The BBC said in a statement that they should have canceled Bob Vylan’s live show today. Before the BBC removed the set, it was uploaded to iPlayer and remained there for more than five hours. Kneecap’s live performance was later chosen, but it was later aired.

The BBC stated in a statement that “Millions of people tuned in to watch Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC’s output,” but one of our live performances featured offensive comments.

The BBC “respects freedom of expression but is firmly opposed to incitement to violence.” The antisemitic sentiments that Bob Vylan expressed were completely unacceptable and should not be broadcast on television. We applaud Glastonbury’s criticism of the performance. The West Holts stage was streamed live on BBC iPlayer as part of the performance.

They continued, “Our editorial guidelines were followed by the decision on Saturday to issue a warning on the screen while streaming online. Additionally, we made the decision to not provide the performance for free. Although the team was performing live, it is possible that we should have retracted the stream prior to the performance. We regret that it wasn’t possible. In light of this weekend, we will review our guidelines for live events to make sure teams are informed of when it is acceptable to maintain output on air.

Bobby Vylan, a singer, took to Instagram last night to defiantly state, “I said what I said, along with a statement where he wrote about the state of school dinners and teaching our children to” speak up for the change they want.

We are horrified by the statements made by Bob Vylan on the West Holts stage yesterday, said Glastonbury manager Emily Eavis over the weekend. There is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech, or incitement to violence, and their chants have clearly crossed the line.

Following the performance, Downing Street added that they regret the BBC airing the set and that they regret doing so.

We firmly condemn the threatening remarks made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury, according to a Number 10 spokesman. The Prime Minister has made it clear that no performers should be given a platform for acts of violence or threats.

Oasis have arrived in Cardiff in preparation for Noel and Liam Gallagher’s dazzling reunion tour, which will finally begin there. Before their headline performance on Friday night, the once-twinkling brothers can now be heard on stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

Fans near the stadium audibly heard Cigarettes and Alcohol blasting out of the stadium as they prepared for one of the most biblical reunions in music history. The band’s return to form several months ago, starting the jamming process, has set the stage for the first world tour. In May, the band’s first images of rehearsals in London were released. Noel Gallagher, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell, who will play guitar in the crowded venues, were shown, along with Andy on bass. Liam joined on June 3 after initially taking vocal rest.

Christian Madden, a keyboardist, and Joey Waronker, a drummer, both join the band on drums. He has previously performed on tour with Liam, but never with Oasis. On July 4 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Noel and Liam will take to the stage for the first time since the band split nearly 20 years ago. As part of the tour, dates will be held in Dublin, London, and Manchester. A source who spoke about the performances told us that the boys will perform some songs inside the venue as well because it is a new lineup and it is such a big first show.

Some tours begin with a smaller show, while others take a week or two to regain their momentum. However, there is no such thing as a night in the life, and Liam and Noel want that to happen frequently. They are taking this enormous comeback show very seriously. It all points to a fantastic comeback tour.

Since the rehearsals began, fans have since reacted in the form of “the calm before the storm.” Oh my God, no one can really hate this Noel & Liam because they weren’t lying when they said they sounded dangerous, one tweet later.

Another person remarked, “Oh my Christ.” A fourth poem, “OMG this is happening! “, was written in the same vein. Noel, 57, left the Manchester rock band on August 28, 2009, saying he “poised to go on working with Liam a day longer.” The brothers had been making disparaging remarks about one another for more than ten years.

That all changed when the tour was announced in August of last year. The pair exchanged several photos to confirm the band’s long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying, “The great wait is over.

In a new poll released in April, Live Forever by Oasis was named the band’s most coveted British song ever ahead of their eagerly awaited reunion tour this summer.

Noel and Liam Gallagher’s Manchester band placed 16 incredible tracks in Radio X’s top 100 results. The top 10 also included “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” “Slide Away,” and “Champaign Supernova.”

The 10th annual Best of British contest featured B&amp and a Q poll on Radio X. Richard Ashcroft and Cast, who are band friends, will also be playing in the new live performances. In a new book, Noel discusses the Oasis Live 25 tour and broke his silence.

Noel told photographer Kevin Cummins, “I thought it’d be a big deal, but I was surprised by how much of a big deal it was,” referring to the demand for tickets.

He was also asked which Oasis song he preferred, which might give us a sense of the tour’s set list. Can I have more than one, he asked? Rock’n’Roll Star, Some Might Say, Live Forever, and Supersonic are just a few examples. After seeing Liam and Noel back together in the new Adidas advertisement in June, fans were inspired to see Oasis.

The Oasis anthem Live Forever can be heard in the promo video, which features scenes reminiscent of early Oasis gigs with fans sporting new Adidas gear and the band logo. At the start of the Knebworth concerts, giant Adidas footballs that had been kicked out were also visible.

There was a tambourine that once struck ice, and Liam could be heard saying, “There are days when you are in the zone, you know what I mean.” You simply remain completely silent as a result of the chaos that surrounds you. Simply put, this feeling is the best in the world, without the need to participate in it. Simply remain completely still.

Then, as the final scene of the commercial showed them reunited and posing together, Liam and Noel could be seen preparing to play a concert on stage.

Just one week after confirming the devastating loss of her third child, Kelly Parker has since made a second appearance on social media to celebrate the birthday of her daughter.

Kelsey Parker has paid tribute to her daughter Aurelia on her sixth birthday, just days after revealing the heartbreaking loss of her unborn baby boy.

The mum-of-two, who lost her husband Tom Parker in 2022, returned to Instagram with a touching montage of Aurelia’s first six years, including a moment of her as a baby being cradled by her late dad.

According to her, “Aurelia means “The Golden One,” and that is who you are. You’ve been through a lot, my sweet daughter, but any mummy would want you to be the most special little girl.

She continued, “I’m so happy we got to spend this weekend celebrating your birthday and putting on another year of a lot.” I’m incredibly proud of you and the amazing young woman you are becoming.” Aurelia was the most adorable little girl with a heart of gold, according to one user, who shared her sweet comments on Kelly’s upload.

A second later said, “Happy birthday, gorgeous girl.” Georgia Jones, Danny Jones’ wife, said, “Happy birthday to the cutest little diva I know.” “Happy birthday to the most special little girl.” “I want to show you all how much I love you all,” said one.

The video came after Kelsey shared that her third child, a baby boy named Phoenix, was sadly stillborn just a week before his due date.

In a moving poem, she wrote: “The world grew quiet as you arrived, so loved, so longed for, yet not alive… Born with wings, took silent flight.”

No breath, no eyes, no memories, but you mean everything to me as we travel softly near, with each sigh, every tear, according to the poem, which was shared alongside a photo of a memory box.

Kelsey later thanked followers for their support and love and later announced that she was stepping aside from social media to process the pain privately.

Messages of love poured in, with Kate Ferdinand writing: “Oh Kelsey, I’m so sorry. You’ve been through so much as a family already, this feels so unfair.”

Since losing Tom, who was just 33 when he passed away from brain cancer, Kelsey has openly discussed grief, healing, and the challenging road ahead, including finding love with new partner Will Lindsay.

However, the path has not been straightforward. Kelsey made an appearance on Lorraine in March, confessing that she had been criticized for moving on despite that three years had passed since Tom’s passing.

She said, “I’m always going to feel guilty.” What do people want me to do because Tom is no longer here, though? She continued, “Our house used to be filled with so much sadness, but now it’s filled with joy.” More than anything, the kids deserve that.

Although Jeff Bezos and his new wife Lauren Sanchez may have had the ideal wedding day in Venice, not everyone was pleased with the expense.

Georgia Toffolo has aimed a dig at Jeff Bezos and his mega-money wedding – months after she tied the knot to her millionaire boyfriend.

This weekend, the Amazon mogul and his wife Lauren Sanchez got engaged in Venice, according to reports that the wedding cost close to £40 million. The businessman, 61, who is the third richest man in the world with an estimated £177 billion, said “I do” without any expense, making the enthralling statement “I do” everywhere.

Georgia – who married former BrewDog CEO James Watt in a modest bash back in March – was taking questions from her followers on Instagram and she clearly believes that the money could have been used better elsewhere. The former I’m A Celebrity campmate was asked by one fan: “What do you think about the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding?'”

She responded, “OK, each has its own, and I know there are so many brides who want big days out and are dreaming big.” However… I’d have a terrible idea if they had instead given away the £50+ million (how on earth would you even spend that on a weekend) they’ve raised for charities. That would have been the most innovative and cool invention ever.

Georgia and James started dating in 2023 and got engaged in October when the millionaire, 42, popped the question during a romantic trip to Greece to mark the former Made In Chelsea star’s 30th birthday. They got hitched in Gardenstown, in the county of Aberdeenshire in North East Scotland, taking their vows in the same church James’s grandparents were married in.

Georgia (also known as Toff) announced: “James and I got married today. The day I became your wife on March 1 will forever be my life’s greatest day. We “eloped”! She continued, “whoever could get here with 48 hours notice” was on the guest list, and she mentioned that a second wedding bash was on the horizon. “We will celebrate with you soonest, to our family and friends who aren’t with us.”

The pair both shared some rather unconventional wedding photos, including one ofJames dressed in fishing waders and another showing Georgia – dressed in a cream, off-the-shoulder fleece dress – clutching some freshly-caught lobsters.

It was a low key even compared to what we saw this weekend in Italy. Guests included Oprah Winfrey, who looked stunning in a burnt orange outfit that came complete with feathered sleeves. Others invited included Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, who were also pictured making their way to the old shipyard, the Arsenale.

According to reports, there were 200 invited guests, and Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John were among the performers. And while the happy couple and their guests thoroughly enjoyed the festivities, it seems not everyone was happy that the Italian city had been completely booked out by the retail giant.

Armed with banners that read “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax,” an estimated 700 demonstrators gathered at Santa Lucia train station.

The No Space For Bezos group is alleged to have organized the demonstration. A few group members were spotted carrying Amazon boxes with the words “ordered, shipped, delivered, rejected” written on them.

Despite the interruptions, the couple’s happy course did not appear to change as a result. Jeff and Lauren’s marriage to date is reportedly their second, and they have seven children.

Following their performance at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan’s request for a US visa was turned down. When the duo chanted “Death to the IDF” during a performance over the weekend at Worthy Farm, there was controversy.

Their visas were originally scheduled to expire later this year, but they have since been turned down. Following their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the audience in death chants, the US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau stated on X: “The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band.”

Foreigners who glorify violence and hostility are not welcome visitors to our nation. The band, who were scheduled to play in the US in October, received a lot of negative feedback for the messages they delivered during their set over the weekend before Kneecap.

The talent agent has since dropped Bob Vylan, who had previously performed live on the BBC, but the company has since stated that they have no plans to return it to iPlayer.

The actions of Bob Vylan at Glastonbury were “a disgrace,” according to US ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens. He claimed that Bob Vylan’s anti-Semitic chants at Glastonbury were a sexless act. Antisemitism should not be tolerated or perpetuated in the UK.

Following the performance, Downing Street added that they regret the BBC airing the set and that they regret doing so.

We firmly condemn the threatening remarks made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury, according to a Number 10 spokesman. The Prime Minister has made it clear that no performers should be given a platform for acts of violence or threats.

He later stated that the BBC should explain how these scenes were broadcast. It’s appropriate that they now acknowledge that a live stream should have been canceled and that they will examine future guidance regarding live events.

The BBC said in a statement that they should have canceled Bob Vylan’s live show today. Before the BBC removed the set, it was uploaded to iPlayer and remained there for more than five hours.

Millions of viewers tuned in to see Glastonbury this weekend, according to a statement from the BBC, but one of our live performances featured offensive comments.
