‘Britain’s loneliest sheep’ rescued after two years

A ewe dubbed “Britain’s loneliest sheep” has been rescued from the foot of cliffs in the Scottish Highlands, having been stranded there for at least two years.

Five farmers rescued the animal on Saturday, using ropes and winches to lift her from the remote shingle beach to the top of the cliff.

Fiona, as the sheep has now been named, was first spotted by a kayaking club two years ago.

The kayakers were shocked to discover her in the same spot when they returned last month, and called for her to be rescued.

Fiona is in good health and settling into her new home at Dalscone Farm in Dumfries.

Cyclists could face tougher sentences under new proposals

Dangerous cyclists could face tougher sentences, similar to those imposed on drivers, under new proposals. Motorists can face a life sentence if they’re convicted of causing death by dangerous or reckless driving. A current loophole allows a cyclist to be jailed for a maximum of two years for “wanton and furious driving.” Parliament will debate on Wednesday whether to make amendments to the Criminal Justice Bill to clamp down on rogue cyclists.

Opening Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader said Rishi Sunak's focus should be on the "chaos" facing prisons. Sir Keir Starmer said: After 14 years of Tory government, the prison system is in chaos.
