Doctors have expressed "huge concern" that super-gonorrhoea has spread widely across England and to gay men. The new superbug prompted a national alert last year when it emerged in Leeds, as one of the main treatments had become useless against it. Public Health England acknowledges measures to contain the outbreak have been of "limited success". Doctors fear the sexually transmitted infection, which can cause infertility, could soon become untreatable.

The first ever all-out strike by doctors in the history of the UK's National Health Service (NHS) began in England on Tuesday, as junior doctors continue to protest against new contracts they say are unsafe and are being forced upon them. Thousands of junior doctors — a term used for medical practitioners who are working while still going through their years of training — walked out of both routine and emergency care. It is the latest in a series of...

Red squirrels in the U.K. are having a pretty hard time at the moment.

Four members of the controversial Trollstation YouTube channel have been jailed in connection with fake robberies and kidnappings. The group were involved in a fake robbery at London's National Portrait Gallery and a fake kidnapping at Tate Britain in July 2015. The channel, with 718,000 subscribers, has built a reputation for filming staged pranks around the city. A fifth member was imprisoned in March following a bomb hoax.

Both sides in the British referendum debate Thursday suspended campaigning after Labour lawmaker Jo Cox was seriously injured in a shooting near Leeds. Both the "Stronger In" and "Vote Leave" groups agreed to cease campaigning as a mark of respect, and soon afterwards the Prime Minister himself announced on social media that he would not be going ahead with the Gibraltar rally.

It'll be breakfast time in Britain before any reliable results come in.

The UK's decision to leave the European Union has rattled the scientific community, amid fears that the so-called "Brexit" referendum could threaten funding for British research and collaboration across the continent. In a referendum held Thursday, nearly 52 percent of British voters chose to leave the EU, while 48 percent voted to remain. The decision left financial markets reeling on Friday morning, and led Prime Minister David Cameron to announce that he will resign from his position in October.

BRITAIN’S exit from the European Union has sent shock waves through the Australian share market, wiping about $70 billion from the ASX. Several world leaders have warned that a British exit, or Brexit, of the EU would lead to a recession with global spillover effects. Financial markets across the world went into free fall as results of the EU referendum came in. The pound collapsed to a 31-year low and currency, equity and oil markets went into free fall Friday as projections showed Britain voted to leave the EU.

The leave campaign has appeared to row back on key pledges made during the EU referendum campaign less than 24 hours after the UK voted for Brexit, after it emerged immigration levels could remain unchanged. Leading Brexit figures had disagreed throughout the campaign on issues including immigration, free movement and the cost of the UK’s EU membership.

London: As the bands played on at the Glastonbury music festival in Somerset, England, Lewis Phillips and his friends drowned their sorrows in song and alcohol. "We're the ones who've got to live with it for a long time, but a group of pensioners have managed to make a decision for us," Phillips, 27, said of Britain's decision to withdraw from the European Union. He said he was now "terrified" about the country's economic prospects.

Investors should prepare for the British pound to hit parity with the U.S. dollar by the end of the year or early in 2017, said at least one analyst — and should parity happen, it’ll be a first. After last week’s surprise U.K. vote to exit the European Union trading bloc, sterling fell more than 12% against the dollar on Friday before trimming some of its unprecedented drop late in the U.S. trading day. But bears regained the upper hand on Monday, sending the currency to a fresh 30-year low at $1.3121.

British Prime Minister Theresa May, appointed Wednesday, dismantled the British Department of Energy and Climate Change and rolled its responsibilities into the larger Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Greg Clark, the appointed leader, said it was an honor to serve in the May government.

Good Cop, Bad War is the story of an undercover police officer, Neil Woods, who spent over a decade infiltrating Britain's biggest drug gangs. The book, released last week, provides a unique insight into a world of mind games and violence, where the drug trade acts as a production line for the creation of ruthless gangsters. Ultimately, his experiences led Woods to reject the way drugs are policed in the UK. "The logic of the drugs war only leads one way: the police get smarter, so the criminals get nastier; things can only ever go from bad to worse, from savagery to savagery," says Woods.

Leaving the EU is an opportunity to fix the UK's "broken" immigration system and restore public confidence in controlled migration, a report says.

Brits encounter more stress if they choose to reject the multiculturalism of today’s Britain, new research suggests. Brunel psychologists found opposition to Britain’s multiculturalism leads to an estrangement from society, as well as increased stress levels. However, those who embrace cultural diversity remain happier and less stressed, while also retaining their sense of Britishness.

The official Remain campaign, known as Britain Stronger In Europe, has relaunched as a campaign group called Open Britain, but has stopped short of calling for a second referendum, and says controls on free movement of people should form part of Britain’s renegotiated arrangements with the European Union. Open Britain will campaign to ensure that the UK is seen as outward looking and open for business with the rest of the world, but accepts that the result of the referendum should be final.

People who felt that they had been pushed to the margins of society, on low incomes and living in low-skilled areas, were the driving force behind Brexit, according to research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. It found that the way Britons voted in June’s referendum was deeply divided along economic, educational and social lines, with a lack of opportunity across swaths of the country resulting in people opting to leave the EU.

White men are among the hardest hit when it comes to finding a job a decade after being unemployed, new research has found. Researchers found that being out of work in 2011 'significantly reduced' the chances of white British men of getting a managerial job with only 23 per cent of them achieving this compared to 40 per cent of the entire population. In the case of women only 19 per cent managed to secure a professional or managerial job, the research by the University of Brighton revealed.

Jeremy Corbyn believes Britain should reject key aspects of the single market when it leaves the European Union, he has made clear, sparking a fresh row with some of his party’s MPs. In a briefing after prime minister’s questions, a senior Labour source said Corbyn wanted to ditch some of the rules which other member countries see as integral parts of the single market – including restrictions on when governments can bail out failing companies.
