Karren Brady: Last News

The Apprentice star Baroness Karren Brady, 53, has slammed the tories over the way they have handled the strikes carried out by nurses across the country this week.The business executive has even claimed that the government are “damaging the NHS” with their actions.A staggering 100,000 nurses are estimated to be striking this week for the first time in the history of the NHS. Baroness Brady began by pointing out how ironic it was that we were clapping for those same nurses during the pandemic, as she argued that they now feel “betrayed” after all they have done for this country. She went on to praise the “selfless angels” for their tireless efforts, before noting the “damage” the government was causing to the NHS by not giving them a substantial pay rise. “While staff in different hospitals have made different decisions about striking, I’m certain they are all in total agreement that the Government’s 4.3 per cent pay offer isn’t only insulting, but actually damaging to the NHS,” she penned in her latest column. Baroness Brady noted that, while the demand for a 19 per cent pay rise might be “unrealistic”, the nurses are mainly interested in being “treated with respect”. She added that the Scottish Government was able to prevent strike action with “a sensible offer of between 7.5 and 11 per cent.”The entrepreneur also pointed out that the NHS is a “special case” when it comes to this month’s strike action, and called on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to take the issue seriously. “The desperately low morale of the people we rely on to prop it up is endangering its very existence,” she warned.

Strictly Come Dancing episode, Tony Adams, 56, withdrew from the competition after sustaining an injury during the live show.The 56-year-old performed an energetic Jive to Wilson Pickett's Land of 1000 Dances, which was met with cheers from the audience.His efforts however failed to impress the judges who only scored them 24 out of 40 points.Craig Revel Horwood went as far as calling their dance a "technical disaster".Following his performance, he landed himself in the bottom two alongside Dianne Buswell and Tyler West.Ahead of the two couples preparing to dance again, Tony made the decision to withdraw from the competition. Karren Brady brands Boy George ‘sanctimonious’ over Matt Hancock swipeHis departure meant that Dianne and Tyler got through to Blackpool week without needing to dance again.Now, Tony's wife Poppy has claimed he was given the chance to go straight through to this weekend's show, but he declined the offer. Taking to Twitter, a viewer named LizzieBiffo wrote: "Well Tony Adams showed his true narcissistic colours tonight didn't he?!"Too big of an ego and too much of a coward to do the dance-off! What an arrogant plum #Strictly."Hitting back, Poppy commented: "Are you a medical professional? Do you know what his injury was?"Do you know that they actually told him NOT to dance and instead go straight to Blackpool and he said no because that would have been unfair to everyone else?"In an emotional speech after his withdrawal, Tony said the show had taught him a lot about himself.He spilled: "I thought this 'journey' rubbish was nonsense but, my god, the rollercoaster of emotion.Michael Douglas looks frail as he continues to show off new red hair [PICTURED]Lori Harvey leaves little to the imagination in

Karren Brady, 53, branded Boy George "sanctimonious" for declaring that if his unwell mum had died in hospital during the pandemic, he would have walked out of the show in indignation when former Health Secretary Matt Hancock had arrived in the jungle. In response, Karren asked how the I'm A Celebrity star could take the moral high ground over Matt, pointing to his 2009 spell in prison after admitting falsely imprisoning a male escort and handcuffing him to a wall.Matt Hancock, 44, had told the world he was looking for "forgiveness" for the behaviour which prompted his resignation as Health Secretary in 2021 - but at first, Boy George wasn't feeling forgiving.While Matt had infamously broken his own social distancing restrictions by cheating on his wife with an aide in the midst of lockdown, George was one of those separated from a relative who'd been hospitalised during the tough Covid era."At the beginning of the pandemic, my mum was in hospital.

The TV star added: “Our monarch understands the problem, cares about it passionately, and will have more impact on creating action from governments around the world than any member of parliament will.”King Charles is currently set to follow Rishi’s advice that he should skip the event, although the Environment Secretary, Thérèse Coffey, suggested on Thursday that it was up to the monarch if he attended the conference.Former Prime Minister Liz Truss had originally advised His Majesty to stay away from the conference because she wanted to use his first foreign trip for diplomatic leverage with nations such as Canada. A Downing Street spokeswoman confirmed on Thursday that the government had advised the monarch to stay away from the summit.She said: “As is standard practice, government advice was sought and provided under a previous PM, and it was unanimously agreed it would not be the right occasion for the King to visit.”Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called on Rishi to “show leadership” by attending the event to promote unity among world leaders.He said: "Many people would be expecting a prime minister of the UK not just to attend but to use it as an opportunity to pull world leaders together to deal with climate.”Rishi said last week that he believed it was “right” to instead focus on the UK economy before Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s autumn Budget on November 17.On a visit to Croydon University Hospital, in south London, he said: “The leadership that we have shown on the climate is unmatched almost along the world.“It’s important to me that we leave behind an environment that is better for our children and grandchildren.”The PM continued: “I’m personally committed to it.“I just think, at the moment, it’s right that I’m

 Royal Family – had a blast at an outdoor market in Belfast during their surprise visit to Northern Ireland this week."William and Kate, both 40, laughed as they raced each other to mix up a particular drink, before the prince was declared the winner."I’ve often noticed that these two seem like they have got a healthy – and funny – level of competition in their relationship."The Apprentice star concluded in her column for The Sun: "I wonder if that is perhaps one of their secrets to happiness."Elsewhere, a body language expert has heaped praise on Kate over her "elegant traits", which she combines with "relatability".Judi James explained exclusively to Express.co.uk why she believed the Princess of Wales will be ready for her role as Queen when the time comes.She said: "It would be hard to imagine someone with body language that is more suited to the role of Queen than Kate."She brings many of the more traditional, formal and elegant traits that the Queen was known for, but blends them with some touches of her own that update her image to suit this age of relatability, accessibility and video communications."Judi went on to reflect on how Kate isn't afraid to have fun or get her hands dirty during her royal engagements.She questioned whether this could potentially change as she moves from Duchess to Princess and Princess to Queen Consort.She posed the question: "Kate does A-list glamour and elegance perfectly, but will she need to drop some of her more casual looks, like her sporting gear or even shorts that she tends to wear on some of her visits?"Judi went on: "Kate always looks totally happy and confident joining in all the sporting action as part of her royal roles."Earlier this year she became patron of the Rugby

Karren Brady has slammed critics of Kate Middleton who took issue with her for taking her own pictures of her children, rather than using a royal photographer.The Apprentice star, 53, branded the remarks as "rather churlish" following the release of Kate's sweet pictures earlier this year.The businesswoman made her remarks following comments made by a royal photographer who argued Kate was taking away an opportunity from aspiring photographers and giving them a chance to elevate their career.Speaking about Kate's children, Karren penned: "They seem all the happier for being photographed by their mother in natural shots, rather than staged snaps taken by a stranger."So for anyone to have issue with the fact that the Princess of Wales delights in sharing her sweet photos with the world is rather churlish, to say the least, don’t you think?"According to royal photographer John Swannell, Kate is dashing the hopes of a generation of photographers by taking her own pictures of the royal children, rather than letting someone else “make their name” doing it," she wrote in her column for The Sun.She went on to add that Kate would have been "damned if she did and damned if she didn't" .It comes as the royal photographer said that by taking her own pictures, Kate is denying others the opportunity to make their name in their photography career.John said: "All the work I got with the royals really elevated my career; nowadays, someone like me just won't have the chance."Those chances should be given to young English photographers."However, he did admit that Kate was at an advantage as she knows the subjects of her snaps."In some ways, though, Kate is probably right to do it herself."She's not a great photographer, but she just snaps

She added that the fact Harry, Charles and William were “unable to have dinner together” after the death of the Queen shone a light on the “impenetrable mess” of their relationship.Further on in the piece, she praised the newly sworn-in monarch, King Charles III, as having the potential to be a fantastic ruler.However, the business mogul has said the Queen will be tough to replace.She wrote that Charles is no doubt ready for his new role.Karren quipped it was one of the “longest apprenticeships in history,” after Charles was sworn in at the age of 73.In a word of sincere advice to the new King, Karren said she wouldn’t “try too hard” if she was Charles.She explained that she held this stance because Queen Elizabeth II is “impossible to replace".The TV personality said: “Charles has spoken about knowing the time has come for him to keep his views and opinions more to himself.“He is right to aim for quiet authority.“As far as I am concerned, so far so good.The Queen is impossible to replace, so my advice would be not to try too hard.“What I think we all hope for from our King is a calm sense of purpose, values and integrity.”She went on to say that the reason the Queen was so well trusted by the nation was because she always had our “best interests at heart”.Karren clarified that should the new king be able to achieve the same thing, he has the “best chance of uniting the nation”.The Apprentice judge shared her condolences following the Queen’s death.Via her Twitter account, she described the Queen as "simply incredible — inspirational, funny, kind, interesting and interested".

Hulu and Disney+ series Pam and Tommy, she donned the iconic red swimsuit as seen on Pamela Anderson in her Baywatch days and looked quite the part, but business-woman Karren Brady was unsure whether it would be worth the effort."I couldn’t be a***ed!" she exclaimed."LILY JAMES looks amazing in the new film...but reading about what she had to do to achieve that amazing physique is exhausting."The incredulous entrepreneur continued: "Lily did a rigorous set of workouts five days a week, often starting at 5.30am."She also had to ditch refined sugar and booze and drink four litres of water a day instead."All of which is a good reminder of just what it takes to look as good as Pamela."Basically, it’s a full-time job that involves feelings of permanent deprivation."Yes, the results are fantastic, but, still, I couldn’t be arsed!"Pamela is a tough act to follow, as she was considered one of the world's sexiest women during her time on Baywatch.While 32-year-old actress Lily was up for the challenge, Karren was clear that it wasn't a regime she would be prepared to take on.Speaking in her Sun column, she also expressed her amazement at the micro-mini look of Kim Kardashian's latest Skims lingerie, which she modelled this weekend to promote her Valentine's Day collection."I’ve seen more material in an eye patch," she gasped."The triangle-shaped bra hardly did the job but the bottoms were so microscopic as to be practically invisible – the ultimate itsy bitsy teenie weenie bikini."Meanwhile, Lily opened up on the truth behind her "gruelling workouts" in an interview with Entertainment Weekly recently.The former Cinderella star revealed: "I worked with this amazing trainer, Matt Bevan, who worked with Daisy Ridley as well.

Carol McGiffin has shut down the claims that there’s an ongoing rift between her and fellow ITV daytime television star Lorraine Kelly, 62, after Carol appeared to brand her a “revolting”.

The Apprentice star Karren Brady, 52, has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Madonna, 63, flashing the flesh on Instagram.The Vogue hitmaker has sparked backlash over her racy snaps in recent months, and the response was no different when she posted a series of photos parading her peachy rear in fishnet tights and a lace thong last week.Some of Madonna’s 17.5 million followers have accused her of growing old disgracefully, however, Karren was quick to defend the singer’s right to flaunt her “fabulous” figure.Other social media users have accused Madonna of photoshopping her revealing pictures due to her incredibly pert posterior.However, Karren has insisted that fans shouldn’t be focusing on whether or not the snaps have been altered, but instead should be praising Madonna for daring to wear whatever she wants to wear at any age.Responding to the pop star’s latest divisive photoshoot, the entrepreneur wrote in her column for The Sun: “You just know that some people will say that at 63 it’s time for her to grow up.“But why on earth should she! So what if they are photoshopped?“She clearly looks fabulous, and most fabulous of all is the fact she has always been her own woman.“Women should be able to wear what they want and do what they want without being shamed by anyone for any reason, especially age.”Karren concluded her thoughts on the matter by arguing: “Just because you are 60 or 70 doesn’t mean you have to dress like the older nuns on Call The Midwife.” It comes just days after Madonna modelled lacy lingerie, which she paired with a black corset and a pair of matching heeled boots.The actress kept her blonde tresses tied back in two ponytails and accessorised with a black hat.Later in the gallery of snaps,

Queen was reportedly offered exemption from Covid rules to grieve for her husband Prince Philip at his funeral.The Apprentice star Karren Brady has praised the monarch after she was claimed to have refused this, arguing this makes her a “true leader”.Karren shared her thoughts in her latest column as she admitted feeling unsurprised by the news.Earlier this week, Private Eye reported that Downing Street offered for the Queen to have more mourners at Prince Philip’s funeral.Number 10 reportedly offered to temporarily lift some of the rules in place back in April 2021.However, the Queen had refused this as she wanted to set an example for the nation.Karren wrote in The Sun today: “Is anyone else entirely unsurprised to hear that although Downing Street offered the Queen a Covid exemption for Prince Philip’s funeral, to allow more mourners, she turned it down?”The business mogul argued this was in stark contrast to politicians who have been caught in a dispute over hosting lockdown parties.“In a show of solidarity that is the polar opposite of the ‘one rule for us, another for them’ accusations that have been flying around politicians lately,” she continued, “The suggestion was rejected by Her Majesty.”Karren argued: “That’s why we all admire the Queen.“It is amazing that, at a time of enormous personal grief, she was still thinking about the feelings of the rest of the country.“Although she was in mourning over the loss of her life partner and soulmate, she would not accept preferential treatment, likely because she knew it would not have been fair on the rest of us.“That’s what true leadership is all about.”The Queen memorably sat alone at Prince Philip’s funeral wearing a mask in the church.At the time, funerals were
