When she was was born - near the Irish border in County Fermanagh in 1942 - it was not unusual for families to live without electricity and running water. Margaret's neighbours only began to update their homes in the late 1940s and 1950s. But her family missed the opportunity to join the trend due to her mother's death, when Margaret was 10, and her father's ill health.

The UK has gone a week without burning any coal to make electricity - the first coal-free week since 1882. Britain has relied on burning coal for power since the Industrial Revolution, which began in the UK in the 18th Century and spread to other parts of the world. The Industrial Revolution saw new factories being built and a massive increase in the use of fossil fuels. The world's first coal-fired power station was opened in London in 1882.

A petition signed by 350,000 people calls for "netting" of trees and hedges to be a criminal offence.

Milestone comes just two years after Britain marked its first full day without using the fossil fuel.

Emily Coxhead is the creator of the Happy Newspaper and quite possibly the most smiley person on the planet. Her publication, which subscribers get every three months, includes only positive news stories. She came up with the idea for the paper after she began feeling overwhelmed by certain things in the news. While Emily acknowledges people should be aware of what's happening in the world, she says people should hear about the good things too.

The University of Bristol has become the first in the country to declare a climate emergency. It follows a raft of organisations and local authorities, including the city council and North Somerset Council, across the UK in taking the step.

Prime minister concedes defeat on Brexit, and states ‘I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold.’

Theresa May has said she will quit as Conservative leader on 7 June, paving the way for a contest to decide a new prime minister. In an emotional statement, she said she had done her best to deliver Brexit and it was a matter of "deep regret" that she had been unable to do so. Mrs May said she would continue to serve as PM while a Conservative leadership contest takes place.

Farmers and conservationists have not always seen eye-to-eye in the UK. However, hopes of finding common ground may now come from an unlikely place—Brexit. Yes, you heard me correctly, one of the most divisive changes to the European political landscape may help bring UK farmers and conservationists together.

We face a return to the dark ages of life-threatening surgery unless we can preserve the infection-killing powers of antibiotics, according to England’s chief medical officer. Dame Sally Davies made her remarks as Public Health England (PHE) published a report showing that 3 million common surgical procedures, including caesarean sections and hip replacements, could be hazardous in a future where hospital-acquired infections have become resistant to the antibiotics we have to treat them.

Almost 3,000,000,000 single use cups are set to be used in the UK this year – and just one in 25 of them will get recycled. New figures – buried in a report released on budget day – reveal the shocking scale of the problem despite pledges to tackle the mountain of waste heading for landfill. Campaigners have accused the government of ‘sitting on its hands’ and doing little to combat the issue despite growing public outrage.

A heart patient who died after a robot performed complicated surgery said the man would have had a “99 per cent” chance of survival if a human had operated. The doctor leading the surgery on Stephen Pettitt, who died after a "catalogue of errors: was not trained enough to use the robot and had only practised using it on a simulator, an inquest heard. In February 2015, the father-of-three, 69, was the first person in the UK to undergo robotic mitral valve surgery.

We track the journey of a single gun, used in 11 shootings in six years. By Ashitha Nagesh.

God save the Queen and God bless America – God is a figure that is nowhere but everywhere at the same time. But that is slowly changing in the UK as it increasingly becomes more secular. A British Social Attitudes survey revealed that 53 per cent of adults had no religious affiliation. The study showed only 3 per cent of adults under 24 identify as Anglican and 5 per cent identify as Catholic. The numbers continue to change when looking at young people and religion.

The European Court of Justice rules that the UK can cancel Brexit without the consent of the other EU states.

The world’s first genetic study of people with acne has raised the prospect of new treatments for those with severe cases of the skin condition. The study of almost 27,000 people, including 5,602 with severe acne, identified genetic differences that were more common in people with the skin condition. Scientists found that many of the genetic variants influenced the formation of hair follicles, which was previously an unknown risk factor for the condition. The researchers think that differences in the shape of hair follicles may make some people’s skin more prone to harbour bacteria, creating the conditions for acne.

There is a story that is commonly told in Britain that the colonisation of India - as horrible as it may have been - was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the empire was sustained for so long - the story goes - was a gesture of Britain's benevolence.

Children from low-income families will have access to healthy food during the Christmas school holidays thanks to £100,000 from the Scottish Government. The money is additional funding for the Cash for Kids charity to provide food and activities for more than 7,000 children from poorer backgrounds across Scotland. Another £48,000 is being awarded by ministers to 12 smaller, community organisations for similar projects during the Christmas and February school holidays.

It’s been tough to find much to laugh about this year. But Britain’s most savage satirist is going to give it a go... By Frankie Boyle.

Britain has banned third-party sales of puppies and kittens to protect the animals from exploitation. The government says the new law will help crack down on “puppy farms” and make it harder for unscrupulous dealers who have little regard for animal welfare. Animal Welfare Minister David Rutley said the ban “is part of our commitment to make sure the nation’s much-loved pets get the right start in life.”

Guide dogs are like politicians or Santa Claus: it's a bit hard to imagine them as babies. But while I've never had a playpen of MPs crawling around my living room (promise…), I can't say the same about guide dog puppies. This is the story of where guide dogs for blind and partially-sighted people really come from. It includes: why they wear nail-varnish as soon as they're born, why they're never scared of fireworks, and why you really must play them Guns N' Roses. Settle in, team. The pups and I have a tail we'd like to tell you…

A story of rampant child abuse—ignored and abetted by the police—is emerging out of the British town of Rotherham. Until now, its scale and scope would have been inconceivable in a civilized country. Its origins, however, lie in something quite ordinary: what one Labour MP called "not wanting to rock the multicultural community boat."

A British man is sentenced to life for the second time today for a bloody attack on a defenceless victim. Stephen Leonard (57) received a first life in 1979 for the murder of a 3-year-old girl. That case was so horrible that its details were never revealed. In 2002, however, he was released after a parole committee ruled that he was “no longer dangerous”. In the summer of last year, however, he struck again. Equally merciless.

The British pound shrugged off a dramatic vote in the UK parliament that left the government's Brexit plans in tatters. Parliament on Tuesday struck down the divorce deal that Prime Minister Theresa May had negotiated with the rest of the European Union by a record margin. The defeat was expected, but the size of the loss — 432 votes to 202 — was a surprise.

UK telecoms group BT has seen no evidence that technology from China's Huawei poses a security risk. "Over the years that we've worked with Huawei, we've not yet seen anything that gives us cause for concern," Marc Allera, the CEO of BT's consumer brands, told CNN on Friday. "We work closely with a large number of bodies — government and security," he added.

Shamima Begum, who joined the Islamic State group in Syria aged 15, is to lose her UK citizenship. Whitehall sources said it was possible to strip the 19-year-old of British nationality as she was eligible for citizenship of another country. Her family's lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, said they were "disappointed" with the decision and were considering "all legal avenues" to challenge it. Ms Begum, who left east London in 2015, had said she wanted to return home.

Anthem topped the UK boxed game sales chart during its first week of release, but with half the physical sales of BioWare's previous game Mass Effect Andromeda. Without digital sales through EA's Origin service on PC, or download sales on PlayStation or Xbox, it's difficult to draw exact comparisons. But from the comparisons we can make, Anthem's sales do not paint a hugely positive picture.
