Lidl to sell £20 dupe of £350 Ninja tool that is perfect for summer garden parties
LIDL are selling a dupe of a popular Ninja tool - and it's £330 less than the branded version. The product is perfect for summer garden parties and costs just £20 for Lidl Plus members. The Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker is an immensely popular product and is capable of transforming fruit into delicious iced slushies. It can be used to make everything from smoothies to frozen cocktails and frappés. However, the branded product costs an eyewatering £350. Meanwhile, Lidl has started selling another kitchen device named the Silvercrest Slushy Maker. The slushy maker can blend ice so that it is either fine or coarse, allowing you to customise your drinks. It also comes with a 1.1 litre blending capacity which means it is perfect for making many drinks at once. The Silvercrest Slushy Maker is on sale for just £20 for Lidl Plus members. Non-members only have to pay £24.99, which is still £325 less than the Ninja version. As the weather heats up, Brits are heading outside for garden parties and drinking more iced drinks than ever. The summer is expected to remain hot too, following a series of thunderstorms this weekend. Lidl reveals two per customer rule as £4 item returns to shelves in Scotland The Met Office has issued four weather warnings for parts of the UK, due to the risk of heavy flooding in some areas. Despite the wet weekend, Brits have enjoyed bright, balmy weather so far - with temperatures exceeding 30C in some parts of the country. In June, Heathrow experienced temperatures of 32C and areas in Yorkshire were treated to temperatures of 29C. The warm weather has meant that gardenware from brands like Lidl has been popular throughout the summer. The budget supermarket has gone viral several times in recent months for its range of garden products. Lidl is selling a plant bundle for just £1.99 which flowers all year and is beloved by bees and butterflies. It is also selling a barbecue pizza oven which is ideal for outdoor parties. Costing just £29.99, the oven is available in the store's famous middle aisle. 3

Boris Johnson: I'm sad about lack of British interest in Ukraine
Boris Johnson has said he is 'quite sad' about a lack of British interest in Ukraine, adding that speaking up for it was his number one priority. At an event for Ukrainian veterans at the country's London embassy this week, the former prime minister told The Telegraph: 'The interest in Ukraine and the appetite is so low nowadays. I find it quite sad. 'I mean, it sort of comes and goes, but it's number one for me. Number one.' Asked about how he evaluated his successors as Tory leader and prime minister on Ukraine, Mr Johnson said: 'Britain continues to be very important in this. But if you talk to some of my Ukrainian friends, they'll say that perhaps we're not in quite the leadership, the thought leadership, role that we were.' 'There are a lot of domestic issues that are very difficult right now, and you can see why they're distracted, but I think this is a big opportunity for Britain.' On a potential return to frontline politics, Mr Johnson added: 'I don't see any immediate way I can be particularly useful in British politics right now. But I think I can continue to talk about Ukraine.' Mr Johnson met Ukrainian veterans at the embassy event, organised by DTEK, the largest private investor in Ukraine's energy sector. He was greeted with applause by the group, some of whom had been tortured after capture. Asking about the soldiers' itinerary on their visit to Britain he said: 'I invited you to my pub in Somerset, but understandably that was too far.' One of the trip's organisers told him 'there is also a cultural programme' for the soldiers to learn about Britain, to which the former PM responded 'that's the pub', provoking laughter from the crowd. He is calling for European governments to seize the $300 billion of Russian assets frozen in Europe and send them to Ukraine, describing this as 'a down payment from Russia to Ukraine on the reparations that Russia will inevitably have to pay one day for what it has done'. Mr Johnson claimed Donald Trump, the US president, was in favour of such a move, despite concerns that it could spook international investors. 'This is an idea that is attractive to Donald Trump. He would like to do it, but the Europeans need to step up,' he added. It comes after Mr Johnson had said the best way for the Tories to counter Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, was to ignore him. He repeated that call on Friday, saying: 'If you've got a problem with a political doppelganger, don't talk about them. That's my strong advice. What voters want to hear is what we're doing, what we Tories are offering for them, whether they're 16 or 102. They want to know what the Tory plans are.' The most recent survey of voting intention by YouGov put Reform on 26 per cent, Labour on 24 per cent, and the Conservatives on 17. Speaking days after Sir Keir Starmer announced plans to give the vote to 16-year-olds, Mr Johnson said there was 'no reason why they shouldn't be persuaded to vote Tory at all'. Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, has said she would focus on rebuilding the trust of voters before developing a comprehensive set of policies for the party's next election manifesto. Earlier this year she launched the Policy Renewal Programme and ditched the Conservatives' previous commitment to Net Zero by 2050 – a key pledge of Mr Johnson's Government. On the news this week of the Afghanistan data leak under the Conservatives, Mr Johnson said it was 'absolutely right' to protect Afghans at risk of repercussions from the Taliban. 'I knew nothing about this,' he said of the leak and subsequent super-injunction. 'I think it is, in principle, absolutely right to protect those who have helped our country, at great risk to their own lives and the lives of their families. I think it's absolutely right to try to do that.' Of the unprecedented super-injunction, which prevented journalists from reporting on the story or acknowledging the existence of the gagging order itself, Mr Johnson added: 'My first instinct would have been to use the D-notice process, but I don't know what the legal advice was.'

My Grand Tour: a novel way to see Rome and an eye-opening art class
I wake half-dressed and groaning in a palazzo in Rome, feeling so ruined that I might need Unesco protection. My eyes are bloodshot, my shirt stained and I've no memory of last night, though I'm still clutching an empty bottle of Umbrian wine. It's plugged with a roll of parchment, which I unroll to reveal a sketch of a naked man in an alarming pose. My heart sinks as my memory mends. The day before I'd arrived from Switzerland and checked into the Villa Spalletti Trivelli hotel, a neoclassical pile still owned by aristocrats. Making straight for the bar in the Tapestry Lounge, I sipped prosecco in heirloom opulence and reflected on my Grand Tour so far: fencing in Paris, dining on Lake Geneva, hiking through the Alps. Now, shoulders feeling broader, I was in the Eternal City, where Grand Tourists brought their classics books to life, visiting ancient sites, versifying in Latin and receiving artistic instruction. That night, in the spirit of noble self-improvement, I too would take my place at the easel. So I wandered down to a Renaissance palace opposite Piazza Navona, a ten-minute walk west from the Pantheon. My artist-mentor, Marco, buzzed me into a foyer where fluted columns lead to a marble staircase. I climbed it, past a statue of Mercury, god of messages and mischief, and entered Marco's studio. It was immediately clear that I'd misunderstood the nature of the class. A mustachioed man in a dressing gown stood on a raised platform, two women giggled while drinking wine and suggestive murals profaned the 17th-century walls — including one of a tongue licking a strawberry. 'So, you are the English tourist!' Marco announced, giving my outfit (blazer from Cordings of Piccadilly, cravat and chinos) an ocular pat-down. He poured wine and waved me towards a sketchpad-strewn table. I introduced myself to the women, Umay and Imane, local student friends who had signed up to the class for larks. 'And why are you here?' Imane asked me, though I was distracted. To my horror Moustache Man had disrobed, revealing a rather lavish endowment. 'Sorry,' I answered, still looking at it. 'I'm touring Europe. I'm on my … third leg.' Marco's first instruction: 'You need to follow your feeling.' Gladly, I thought: right out the door. I drained my glass as the model began to strike poses. First, contrapposto — classic. The women began to sketch. I stared muselessly at the page. Seeing me struggle, Marco told me to map the model's body with shapes. I spent ten minutes drawing a crash-test dummy — an oval for the head, circles for the joints — gulping wine as I went. The women, meanwhile, were discussing how to represent light and shadow. But as the model perched on a stool, the wine took effect. My inner Leonardo rose and my pencil sprang to life. I drew his torso, limbs and old chap, then proudly showed Marco my work. He wasn't sure about the resemblance. I assured him it was an abstract masterpiece (classes from £60; Class over, I hadn't improved a jot. Slurring my goodbyes I stumbled down the staircase. Mercury, having had his fun, dispatched me back to my villa. Italy was the cultural centrepiece of the Grand Tour. But I'd reached a crossroads and, like many tourists before me, taken a wrong turn. In about 1720 the poet John Breval had a bit of how's your Holy Father with a nun in Milan. Horace Walpole sniffed in 1743 that Lord Middlesex and Francis Dashwood, chiefs of the Society of Dilettanti, were 'seldom sober the whole time they were in Italy'. And in 1819 Lord Byron repaid Count Guiccioli's hospitality by sleeping with his wife, Teresa. Unlike Byron, though, I'm out of bed, stashing the sketch in my suitcase and vowing to drink wine only at Holy Communion. I'm packing for the Appian Way; Rome is no place to nurse a sore head, especially today — five minutes' drive from my hotel, at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Pope Francis is to be buried, and I need to escape before the city becomes gridlocked. I climb into a taxi and we set off down Via Agostino Depretis … and straight into purgatory. Carabinieri wave like frantic conductors as cars trumpet their horns, street vendors peddle thuribles as though they were knock-off Prada handbags, teenagers take gloomy selfies and the whole scene is haloed by choral song. • Jack Ling's Grand Tour part one: The most unusual way to see Paris Somehow my driver finds a road that doesn't lead to Rome and 20 minutes later drops me at a stables. I'm introduced to my chestnut horse, Almy, and my guide, Sandro, leads us on to the Appian Way — an arrow-straight road of volcanic basalt fanned by Roman pines and lined with crumbling ruins. This 2,300-year-old superhighway once carried generals and pilgrims to Brindisi, 300 miles southeast, on the Adriatic coast. Grand Tourists used it to continue their travels on horseback. But Almy has seen it all before, wandering off the road to graze on wild artichokes. 'Bad horse!' I scold, forgetting the Italian. Sandro instructs me to poke Almy's belly with my stirrups and my steed returns to the way with a frustrated snort. We clop through 'a desert of decay, sombre and desolate beyond all expression', as Charles Dickens put it on his travels to the Appian Way in the 1840s. Here, Sandro says, is the tomb of the 1st-century philosopher-orator Seneca the Younger — a speechless relic half-swallowed by weeds; there, a pale pink villa belonging to the Caetani family, whence came Pope Boniface VIII, the 13th-century pontiff who insisted that salvation required absolute obedience to him. • Jack Ling's Grand Tour part two: The off-piste way to see the Alps 'Hear that?' I whisper to Almy. To my surprise I'm riding better than I expected. 'Where are you from?' Sandro asks, impressed, as we return to the stables. 'England,' I reply. 'Ah, you have it in the blood.' I dismount Almy and, after thanking Sandro for restoring discipline to my tour, take a taxi to the Roma Termini railway station. In my ambition to become a cultivated man I had veered off course with my boozy art class. The Appian Way had set me straight — but it was in Venice, my next stop, where Grand Tourists' morals were tested Ling was a guest of Byway, which has ten nights' B&B from £2,423pp, including rail travel from the UK ( and Villa Spalletti Trivelli, which has room-only doubles from £334 (
