8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata'
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue'
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem'
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange'
A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa 'Noisette Carnee'
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel'
I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.

Reform chairman REVERSES decision to quit party just 48 hours after resigning as he blames departure on ‘exhaustion'
REFORM UK chairman Zia Yusuf has reversed his move to quit the party just 48 hours after he dramatically resigned his post. The businessman had orchestrated much of Reform's recent success at local elections, but now says his sudden decision to quit on Thursday was due to "exhaustion". But despite previously saying he no longer believed that trying to get Nigel Farage elected PM was a "good use of my time", the businessman will now return to the party in a new role. This fresh position will see him head up a "UK DOGE team", inspired by Elon Musk's government "efficiency" department in the US. In a statement on X, Mr Yusuf said: "Over the last 24 hours I have received a huge number of lovely and heartfelt messages from people who have expressed their dismay at my resignation, urging me to reconsider. "After 11 months of working as a volunteer to build a political party from scratch, with barely a single day off, my tweet was a decision born of exhaustion." He added: "I know the mission is too important and I cannot let people down. "So, I will be continuing my work with Reform, my commitment redoubled." Mr Yusuf sensationally quit the party on Thursday, saying he did not believe getting Nigel Farage elected as PM was a "good use of my time". More to follow...

Sky Q replacement update as new £6 a month TV service is launched to lure satellite viewers
IT'S taking Sky "much longer" than the company originally expected to shift satellite fans to streaming, a TV expert has revealed. Sky has been pushing ahead with TV that relies on the internet instead of a satellite dish since 2021. 1 Next week, yet another Sky Glass model goes on sale, while the beloved Sky Q satellite box hasn't seen a hardware update since 2016. Sky Glass Air is a thinner model without the built in soundbar that's cheaper than the previous models, in a bid to win people over. The firm says 90 per cent of new customers opt for Sky Glass or Sky Stream - but winning over Sky Q loyalists seems to be tricky. Paolo Pescatore, an expert for PP Foresight, previously told The Sun it is "highly unlikely" Sky will ever release a new satellite box. In an update, he says the arrival of a more affordable slimmer model "should strongly resonate with customers" but it "does show a clear razor sharp focus on new sales". "The majority of its existing subscribers are still on the tried and trusted Sky Q platform which relies on a satellite dish," he explained. "Converting this base is taking the company much longer than it originally expected. "On this basis Sky Glass has not been as successful as the company had anticipated. "Despite this, the move in general made sense given the direction of travel with what I'm calling the big TV switch off; likely to happen now in the 2030s and to defend against the rise and threat of streamers by allowing Sky to control the experience and manage customer relationships which it has successfully been able to do. "Also and more importantly, it has allowed Sky to secure retail distribution agreements for products like Sky Stream with others." Discover new features on Sky TV that make it even easier to find favourite shows He warned Sky is still "hugely reliant" on its core and lucrative Sky Q base which it "must avoid upsetting as there are a slew of cheaper alternative TV platforms and services in the market". Last year, Sky signed a contract extension with satellite operator SES that takes the service up to 2029. Sky Q's biggest difference is its ability to record on a box, whereas on Sky Glass it's recorded to the cloud. This means on Sky Q you will always have something to watch if there's ever an outage. And a limited number of programmes and movies can't be recorded to the cloud because of rights issues - whereas on Sky Q you can record what you want. The upside of Sky Glass and Sky Stream recording is that there is no storage limit unlike Sky Q. MY THOUGHTS ON SKY GLASS GEN 2 By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun Sky Glass Gen 2 successfully improves from the previous model in three key areas: visuals, audio and set-up (I can't tell you enough how much easier it is to assemble that stand plate). The same wonderfully easy user interface continues to get better and better - not to mention Sky's unmatched content. But it's really not necessary or enough for users of the first Sky Glass to upgrade to this new model. Instead, this is very much aimed at those new to Sky Glass. I can't see many Sky Q subscribers being swayed due to the recording storage differences, among other things. Make no mistake - while Sky has assured that it is still committed to Sky Q, streaming is very much the future and will get the lion's share of new features in the years to come.

Zia Yusuf makes astonishing return to Reform UK just 48 hours after quitting as party chairman
Zia Yusuf has sensationally announced he is returning to Reform UK - just 48 hours after quitting as the party's chairman. The businessman, who said his decision to quit was a 'mistake' that came as the result of exhaustion, will take up a new role in the party following peace talks with Nigel Farage. While his formal title has not been decided, he is expected to lead Reform's Elon Musk-inspired Doge unit, as well as overseeing some aspects of policymaking, fundraising and media appearances for the party. It comes just two days after Mr Yusuf said he no longer believes 'working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time'.
