Jeremy Clarkson launches new version of UK favourite product only available to customers of his pub
JEREMY Clarkson is to finally offer tomato ketchup to punters at his The Farmer's Dog boozer after a UK firm produced an all-British one.

Jeremy Clarkson is to finally offer tomato ketchup to punters at his boozer after a UK firm produced an all-British one
An Isle of Wight company took on the challenge after the subject arose on Clarkson's Farm.
It came after thousands of requests for ketchup at Jezza's pub in Burford, Oxon, saw staff put up a sign urging diners not to bother asking for it.
The firm, Condimaniac, uses Isle of Wight tomato passata, apple cider vinegar from Hants, Essex salt and British sugar and onions.
Boss Kier Kemp said: 'Making a 100 per cent British ketchup after Jeremy Clarkson alerted us to the fact there wasn't one was very hard.
"We had to put on our big boy pants.'
The firm made 1,700 bottles for its first order to be sold at the pub's one-stop butcher and bottle shop and at Clarkson's farm in Chipping Norton.
The firm's own supplies of the £7.95 red sauce have sold out.
A source close to Clarkson's pub said: 'Jeremy and the team support the British food and farming industry.
'So he made no apologies for not selling ketchup, no matter how many times staff had to let customers down.
'But the pub's always said that if a British company could do it with all-British ingredients, it would get on the menu.
Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan admits she is 'not making any money from farming' despite show appearance
'Hopefully it'll be a success.'

Illegal migrant LIVE STREAMS step by step channel crossing & boasts ‘my dream was to come here' from 4 star asylum hotel
AN ILLEGAL migrant boasted on TikTok of crossing the Channel by dinghy, saying: 'Tell your friends to come.' The man racked up nearly a million views with a step-by-step guide to crossing the Channel on a small boat — and then told others to follow him as he revelled in his taxpayer-funded asylum hotel. 7 A migrant posted a step-by-step guide to crossing the Channel on a small boat Credit: Tiktok 7 Alexandra420, pictured above in a life-jacket, smirks in a video from the dinghy 7 The smug migrant shows TikTok fans his view from the window of his asylum hotel Credit: Tiktok 7 He also took part in a live Q&A with his followers Known as Alexandra420, he said his wish had come true and that this was 'the best place' during a TikTok livestream at his free accommodation near Heathrow. His taunts come as figures reveal 50,271 people have crossed in a small boat since Labour and Sir Keir Starmer took office last year. Last night Reform leader Nigel Farage MP told The Sun: 'This is yet another total humiliation for our country. "The Prime Minister's soft-touch approach and refusal to address the root cause of illegal Channel crossings has turned the UK into a global laughing stock.' READ MORE ON ILLEGAL MIGRANTS SEA CHANGE How Med island once swamped by illegal migrants has seen arrivals shrink to ZERO TikTok influencer Alexandra, who has 70,000 followers, left Calais in a dinghy at around 4am on Saturday. His first video was a 13-second clip from the middle of the Channel, showing a French lifeboat alongside his dinghy, which was full of fellow migrants. The next clip showed him grinning in an orange life jacket and pointing to the sky. A third video, bizarrely set to the theme tune of US TV drama Prison Break, showed the vessel surrounded by massive freight ships, while in a fourth he dipped his designer trainers in the water. He was one of 435 arrivals on Saturday, and was taken in by Border Force officials to be processed at Manston, Kent. He was then bussed to the four-star Crowne Plaza hotel in West Drayton, near Heathrow. The migrant, thought to be from Afghanistan, treats TikTok viewers to a tour of his room, which had two single beds and a double plus an en-suite bathroom. He also shows them the view from his window. Small boat crossings under Labour are on brink of hitting 50,000 - one illegal migrant every 11 mins since the election Triumphing in his good fortune, he said: 'This is dedicated to those haters who were happy thinking we either drowned or ended up dead.' In a later livestream he claimed their boat began to deflate halfway through the crossing and could have capsized if Border Force officials had not rescued them. He said: 'It was dangerous. Our boat sank. It was punctured. The water came from the inside of the boat. "On the other side, three people pumped the water. If the British boats hadn't come in an hour, we would have been in trouble.' Those who want to come, this is the best place TikTok influencer Alexandra He then encouraged others to pay thousands to people-smugglers to make the same perilous journey. He ranted: 'I risked my life, I spent my money, I came. Your country is not your mother. "Those who want to come, this is the best place. Don't be stingy. Your country is not your father, that you are so stingy. Live your life. 'Tell your four friends to come. Why are you so stingy? Being stingy is not good for God. You see, I risked my life! Why don't you come? My wish was to come to this hotel and live. I came here just for this.' 7 Fellow illegal migrants can be seen in the boat in another clip 7 The migrant's room has two single beds, a double and an en-suite Credit: Tiktok He also revealed how he beat warnings of deportation, claiming he had been told by UK officials: 'If I send you to France, you won't have any problem.' But he replied: 'I will commit suicide.' He went on: 'I just said it, and he got angry. I told them, and right there, I swore an oath.' Spinning on his chair with his arms in the air, he then shouted: 'Welcome to London!' It's disgraceful that illegal immigrants are saying it's their dream to be put up in a hotel Chris Philp In total, the migrant posted eight videos before taking part in a live Q&A with his followers in the Afghan dialect Pashto. His viewers appeared to include other asylum seekers in different hotels across the country. One told the host, who flashed his purple room key card, that the Crowne Plaza was 'a nice place'. The videos had a combined 870,000 views before being taken down during a second livestream when The Sun alerted TikTok. 7 The Heathrow Crowne Plaza has been housing migrants for more than four years, and has an 8ft security fence Credit: Dan Charity Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp blasted: 'It is disgraceful that illegal immigrants are saying it is their dream to be put up in a hotel, all paid for by the British taxpayer. 'This is a sick joke. Anyone coming to the UK illegally must be swiftly deported.' Dozens of migrants have made social media posts celebrating their arrival in the UK. The Heathrow Crowne Plaza used to cost guests £120 a night — but has been housing migrants for more than four years, and has an 8ft security fence. Facilities include a luxury swimming pool with steam room and sauna, gym, an Irish bar, two large restaurants and a theatre. More illegal arrivals were brought in on packed buses yesterday alongside vans delivering food. One Afghan man told The Sun: 'I came to Britain a few days ago on a boat from France. This hotel is nice and we get fed and given clothes. Life is nice here so far.' A TikTok spokeswoman said it has a zero-tolerance approach to content promoting people-smuggling. A Home Office spokeswoman said it is unacceptable 'to promote the criminal services of people-traffickers or for social media companies to allow it'. Laws are being brought in to make it easier to prosecute, she added.

Northern Ireland to receive half a billion pound investment as part of Britain's 'plan for change'
NORTHERN IRELAND is set for a major economic boost as British Chancellor Rachel Reeves visits Belfast to confirm more than half a billion pounds in public and private investment. The funding, aimed at strengthening the region's long-term economic prospects, is part of the British government's broader 'Plan for Change' strategy. At the heart of the announcement is £310 million in fresh funding for Northern Ireland's City and Growth Deals, allocated to support key high-growth sectors such as advanced manufacturing, digital innovation and the creative industries. Speaking during a visit to Studio Ulster, Reeves said the new investment was about 'fixing the foundations' for a more prosperous future. She praised Northern Ireland's 'talent and ambition', citing its leadership in areas like film production and defence technology. The Chancellor also unveiled £137 million in new funding to address issues related to terrorism, paramilitary activity and organised crime. Officials say the aim is to create safer communities while encouraging further economic investment by removing barriers to growth. In a major vote of confidence from the private sector, defence firm Thales confirmed a £100 million expansion at its Castlereagh site, which is expected to create up to 200 new jobs. The company already employs around 900 people in the region, with the government's broader commitment to increasing defence spending expected to further cement Northern Ireland's role in the industry. Reeves' visit comes on the back of the largest funding package for the Northern Ireland Executive in real terms since the 1998 Belfast Agreement. The settlement, which averages £19.3 billion annually until 2029, is designed to help stabilise public services and support ongoing economic development. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Hilary Benn, highlighted the region's potential for growth, particularly given its access to both UK and EU markets. He said the government remained committed to backing Northern Ireland through a mix of targeted investment and broader economic strategy. Additional support is being directed toward innovation-led growth. Belfast and Derry are set to share at least £30 million under the new Local Innovation Partnerships Fund, a £500 million British and Northern Irish initiative designed to empower regional leaders to develop local solutions for economic challenges. Northern Ireland will also benefit from increased aerospace and research funding, supporting thousands of jobs across both sectors. Studio Ulster's Chief Executive, Professor Declan Keeney, said the investment was a vital recognition of the studio's role in attracting global productions and training local talent. Ulster University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Bartholomew, described the development as a symbol of what's possible when government, industry and education collaborate effectively. Thales British Managing Director for Integrated Airspace Protection Systems, Nigel MacVean, also hailed the defence investment as a foundation for growth, saying it would help accelerate innovation and expand the company's reach both within the Northern Ireland, Britain and globally.
