II listed building where seven monks were burnt alive

Ghost hunters, led by Dan Litchfield, captured footage of a shadowy figure in a grade-II listed building in Mansfield, where seven monks were historically burnt alive. The site, known as 'The Village,' has a storied past involving tunnels from Newstead Abbey used by monks to escape during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The team recorded multiple sightings of the apparition, reinforcing the location's reputation as a paranormal hotspot. Dan, who founded the UK Ghost Hunters collective, expressed his amazement at the findings and plans to return for further investigations.

Could Labour see an increase in their vote share in Liverpool?

Labour's vote share in Liverpool and the North West may increase in the upcoming General Election, with a survey indicating a rise from 45.2% in 2015 to 47.7%. The Conservatives are also expected to see a slight increase. Key battlegrounds include Wirral South and Wirral West, with Labour's Alison McGovern potentially increasing her majority, while Margaret Greenwood may face a tougher challenge. UKIP is predicted to lose significant support, while the Liberal Democrats and Greens are expected to maintain similar vote shares. The survey highlights a generational divide in support for Labour and the Conservatives, with younger voters favoring Labour and older voters leaning towards the Conservatives. Opinions on Brexit's impact on voting are split, and Theresa May is seen as a better Brexit negotiator by a narrow margin.
