Gtech's 'very effective' cordless grass trimmer is 53% off and 'streets ahead' of rivals
Gtech is offering a big discount for Brits looking to spruce up their garden with its GT50 cordless grass trimmer that's hailed as 'excellent value for money'. With much of the UK basking in yet another heatwave, there's no better time to ensure our gardens are looking spick and span. Luckily, Gtech has just kicked off a summer sale offering its GT50 Cordless Grass Trimmer at more than half price. By entering the discount code JV85 at checkout, the garden gadget can be reduced from £149.99 to £69.99 – an £80 saving. There's also a huge £300 discount on Gtech's CLM50 Cordless Lawnmower, which drops from £599.99 to £299.99 with the code JA57. However, both deals are running for a limited time and will expire on September 30. The Gtech GT50 Cordless Grass Trimmer is said to trim and edge a lawn 'to perfection' thanks to its sharp plastic blades that ensure a neat cut and fresh edges. Gtech's 'flawless' cordless vacuum bundle is £200 off and makes cleaning 'so much easier' Scottish brand has shoppers 'stop using shower gel' for natural alternative Unlike corded garden tools, the Gtech GT50 can be used without troublesome cables, with its 18V lithium-ion battery providing up to 30 minutes of runtime per charge. The lightweight tool has been designed to make trimming easier, weighing only 1.85kg and crafted with an ergonomic handle that takes the stress off the shoulders, neck and back. Gtech has also added a safety harness to the trimmer, so users can move comfortably and efficiently around their garden while enjoying total control and precision. This is made even easier with a swivel of the GT50's head, which can be switched from trimming mode to edging mode and adjusted to different angles at the push of a button. What sets the GT50 apart from many rival models is its plastic, replaceable blades, which clip on quickly and easily. Shoppers will receive 20 blades with the device, with a pack of 50 costing £3.99 should more be required. For gardeners requiring a tool to neaten their hedges, the Bosch 55cm Cordless Hedge Trimmer (£185) can cut branch thicknesses of up to 20mm, but may not be suitable for cutting grass. An alternative is the Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Cordless Whisper Grass Trimmer (£149.99), however, the battery and charger are not included with this tool and must be bought separately. For those sticking with Gtech, the GT50 Cordless Grass Trimmer has achieved a 4.4-star rating after more than 3,500 reviews. Buyers have hailed it as 'easy to use' and 'very effective' at cutting longer grass. One five-star review says: "Easy to use and control, very effective cutting and can deal with longer grass. Quick to get out into the garden and start using because little assembly is needed. Very well engineered, solid yet lightweight. An excellent product." Another said: 'This product, along with all other Gtech products we have purchased, is excellent value for money. It is lightweight, strong and precise, streets ahead of all of its competitors.' In their four-star review, this buyer offered a word of advice to other gardeners, saying: "Nice looking trimmer but the blades break easily when you touch something solid.' While a third rave review said: 'Very pleased with the GT50, it is a big step up from the previous model, which served us well for many years. In particular, the power seems much greater, and we can get through tougher vegetation that we would not have considered tackling before.'

Lorraine Kelly leaving ITV when her contract ends next year
The 65-year-old broadcaster and presenter was said to be furious when it was announced that her show would only be running for 30 weeks in 2026. This would represent a major cut, with the number of weeks being slashed from 52. However, it is now being reported that the TV star will leave the channel when her contract comes to an end. Lorraine Kelly 'leaving' ITV when her contract ends next year Discussing the claims, A source told the Mail Online: "Lorraine sees it as the end. She's got a year left on her contract, which she will honour, but beyond that, there are no plans for her to stay. She will be leaving. "Of course, she will be fine, she has loads of money. But some of the people who work for her have done so for many years and have put up with her demands for a long, long time. Yet they will struggle to ever get another job in the television industry." Lorraine Kelly's programme wasn't the only show affected by recently announced changes to the ITV schedule. Other programmes like Good Morning Britain are also facing changes, with GMB being extended by half an hour. When Lorraine is not on air, GMB will be extended by a further half hour, airing from 6am to 10am. Recommended Reading: Kevin Lygo, managing director of ITV's Media and Entertainment Division, commented: 'Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust, as well as generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres. 'These changes also allow us to consolidate our news operations and expand our national, international and regional news output and to build upon our proud history of trusted journalism at a time when our viewers need accurate, unbiased news coverage more than ever.'

EXCLUSIVE The remote worker bubble burst: House prices in London and commuter towns soar while WFH hotspots drop in value - use our interactive calculator to find out how much YOURS is worth
The remote working boom is over, property experts have suggested, amid an increase in value of homes in and around London and a drop elsewhere. Property prices outside of the capital exploded at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic as employers embraced remote working practices and emboldened workers sought out gardens and home office spaces. Demand for suburban and rural property exploded as people fled city centres for pastures greener - but estate agent Purplebricks says some these areas have seen tens of thousands of pounds wiped from the value of homes in recent months. Official house price index figures from the Office for National Statistics analysed by the online agency suggest properties in Bath, north-east Somerset, the Cotswolds and South Hams in Devon lost the most value over the 12 months to May. These were thought to be some of the most desirable havens for the 75,000 people thought to have fled London during the pandemic seeking peace and quiet - among them childless professionals likely working from home. Property prices shot up between five and 15 per cent in these areas between 2019 and 2020 - but more than £20,000 has been skimmed from house valuations over the last year as demand has waned. On the other hand, demand has exploded in areas of London's commuter belt - or on the outer verges of the capital itself. MailOnline's exclusive calculator (below) shows how values have changed in these areas and every area across the UK - select your area in the drop-down box to find out how prices have changed where you are. Three Rivers in Hertfordshire - touching the outer London borough of Watford - has seen values explode by 13 per cent, or around £79,000 on average. Kingston-Upon-Thames and Bromley have seen prices surge eight and nine per cent respectively - around £48,000 each - over the last year. Other areas in the top 10 annual price rise table include Tunbridge Wells, Waltham Forest, Southwark and Elmbridge - all within an hour of central London by train. Values fell across the year in some central parts of the capital, including the City of London, Westminster, Islington and Hammersmith and Fulham. But they have rebounded in the short-term, with values in Camden, the City of London and Kensington and Chelsea rising nine, eight and three percent in the last month, adding tens of thousands of pounds in value in a matter of weeks. Overall, house prices in England have risen by 3.4 per cent in the last year; 5.1 per cent in Wales and 6.4 per cent in Scotland. Average house prices across the three home nations stand at £290,000, £210,000 and £192,000, respectively. Purplebricks says the dipping prices outside of London and continuingly falling interest rates were creating a promising market. The base rate of 4.25 per cent, as set by the Bank of England, is down one percentage point over the last year. Leading economists expect a further rate cut at the Bank's next meeting on August 7. Tom Evans, sales director, said: 'Great news once again for the nation's homeowners, and at a promising time for first-time buyers too. 'The falling interest rates over the last 12 months has helped drive down mortgage rates and drive up property prices - and the forecast base rate cut in August should continue that trend. 'We are confident house prices will continue to rise into next year, meaning your home at the start of 2026 will be worth more than it is today.' Last year, the Centre for Cities think tank said there were early signs the capital was 'bouncing back' from the Covid exodus. The research group says it is confident the population in London has surged past pre-pandemic levels. Official estimates suggest the capital was home to 8.945million people as of mid-2023, largely driven by international migration, according to the ONS.
