L incolnshire sausages, Aberdeen Angus beef, Cheshire cheese, Welsh lamb, Scottish salmon and Kentish apples – nothing beats the taste and quality of British produce.

Tom Mackintosh, Tesco's fresh produce and horticulture director, says the supermarket's significant online audience provides a great vehicle for promoting British produce.

"One of our core responsibilities is to merchandise, explain and ultimately to sell our British agricultural products as well as we possibly can. This is to create a long-term sustainable agricultural industry, but also to ensure people in Britain are eating more healthy fruit and vegetables," he says.

Mackintosh adds that Tesco customers are already highly motivated to choose British produce when they can.

"We have to create a long-term sustainable agricultural industry that's greater than the sum of its parts and is working together," says Mackintosh.

Both of their parents were dairy farmers, and the couple run their farm as a family concern, involving their two young boys in the day-to-day animal husbandry.

While Jamie Lomas (Warren Fox) and Owen Warner (Romeo Nightingale) are said to have volunteered to leave, there are a lot more names set to go in the ⁘controversial⁘ move.

The source added: ⁘The time jump is a way for Hollyoaks to say goodbye to the characters that need to go and give closure to the fans - but it will be controversial.

⁘Bosses are storylining how it will all work now, but as it stands September will be a big reset for the show and a relaunch for its future."

She recently said: ⁘'Hollyoaks' offers a unique proposition: bold, escapist, relatable, youth-skewing and multi-generational stories, told in its innovative and technicolour signature style.

⁘The show continues to bring people together by making them feel something, and everything. Approaching its 30th anniversary in 2025, 'Hollyoaks' matters just as much now as it did at its trailblazing launch.

Most recently, Rita Ora has been criticized for visiting Australia while the pandemic is still ongoing. Currently, she is in quarantine at the Sydney Hotel for two weeks prior to filming the show The Voice.

The Your Song singer was confirmed to be a judge for the new season of The Voice Australia with Keith Urban, Guy Sebastian, and Jessica Mauboy.

Her arrival in Australia caused a negative reaction from the people of Kangaroo Country. Rita Ora reportedly picked up quota at hotels provided by the government. This can have an impact on Australian people from outside who want to return to their country.

Apart from Rita Ora, there are other celebrities such as Matt Damon, Tom Hanks, and Miranda Kerr who have also traveled to Australia. Matt Damon will begin filming Thor: Love and Thunder. But he chose to go into isolation in a private residence.

The government gave Damon permission not to isolate himself at the hotel but he is required to take a COVID-19 test every week. It is known that Matt Damon's family also paid for cleanliness, security, police monitors, staff, food, and all regular tests during the quarantine period.

Although responsible for his decision, Matt Damon was not free from criticism from netizens. They think the actor is using his wealth to avoid quarantine.

The British government enforces the COVID-19 regulation which prohibits traveling outside the city and even abroad. This is because the cases of COVID-19 in Queen Elizabeth have increased again.
