DEREK Chisora is eyeing up his toughest fight yet - to become a Reform UK mayor.
The British heavyweight is being urged by pals to run to be London Mayor.

The boxing star, 41, is close pals with Nigel Farage and campaigned for Brexit.
Friends reckon he could floor Labour in the capital.
If he entered the fray for City Hall, he would be the second boxer to stand for Reform.
Olympic medalist Luke Campbell was elected Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire earlier this year.
A source close to Chisora told The Sun on Sunday: 'Derek has been a loyal supporter of Nigel for years and they are known to attend social events together. Nigel is always ringside at his fights.
'Friends of Derek are urging him to ' do a Luke' and take on Labour at the next London election.
'He has real personality and stands a good chance of winning if the Reform surge continues.'
Chisora is just one bout short of his 50th fight - and then is expected to hang up his boxing gloves.
He has previously spoken of his friendship with Nigel Farage, saying: 'I don't know anything about politics, but I think we have to put British people first.
"I became friends with Nigel and Nick Candy and campaigned for Brexit.'
But Chisora faces a battle to be picked by Reform to be their candidate for London Mayor.

Fellow Reform backer Celebrity SAS hardman Ant Middleton has said he wants the job.
Sadiq Khan is expected to step down as Labour London Mayor before the next election in 2028.

Tandridge council warns over trees cut down for developments
Developers and landowners could face "serious financial and legal consequences" for cutting down trees on sites being considered for new homes, a Surrey council has laws, which mean builders must compensate for the loss of any nature on housing developments, came into force last District Council (TDC) said there had been a number of recent incidents where trees were felled to clear areas for planning applications.A spokesperson for the Home Builders Federation said it can be "necessary to remove trees to allow a development to take place." The Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements mean that sites now have to be assessed before bulldozers can enter and developers have to commit to delivering a 10% net improvement in biodiversity that lasts over a 30-year period. 'Environmental vandalism' The leader of TDC, Catherine Sayer, said: "We have had incidents where 300 year-old oak trees have been cut down because they are in the way of development. "In one instance, the developer withdrew the planning application when they realised the cost of replacing the lost biodiversity would be tens of thousands of pounds."Sayer said the council wanted to raise awareness that this "environmental vandalism has serious financial and legal consequences and [we] hope it acts as a deterrent". Resident Terry Morgan, who lives near land where a tree was cut down ahead of a development taking place, told BBC Radio Surrey he was "angry.""It's not a single tree, it is part of a long line of trees marking ancient boundaries, home to wildlife and so on," he said."To simply, for convenience, cut that tree down rather than make a planning application which is more appropriate to the site - that's the key thing I'm angry and annoyed about." The developer has been approached for comment. Sayer said she thought it was a "great shame" that ministers were looking at changing environmental rules to make it easier to build homes on smaller week, Housing Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the changes would "simplify" the planning denied environmental protections were being compromised.A spokesperson for the Homebuilders Federation said: "Clearly in some instances it is necessary to remove trees to allow a development to take place. "In those cases developers are required to abide by all the relevant rules and regulations in place."Separately, TDC said it was investigating the felling of woodland on land near Lingfield a few weeks ago as alleged criminal activity.

'Essex Boys' triple-killer Michael Steele released from prison after 27 years
A triple killer convicted of the notorious "Essex Boys" murders has been released from prison after 27 years. Michael Steele was jailed alongside Jack Whomes in 1998 for the murders of Patrick Tate, 37, Tony Tucker, 38, and Craig Rolfe, 26. They were shot dead at point-blank range on an isolated farm track at Rettendon, Essex, in 1995 in what prosecutors said was a row over a drug deal. The gangland executions, also known as the Rettendon Murders or the Range Rover Murders, inspired the 2000 film Essex Boys, starring Sean Bean, as well as The Rise Of The Footsoldier franchise. All three of the victims were known to police. Steele and Whomes maintained their innocence following their convictions, which were based in part on evidence from "supergrass" Darren Nicholls, who said he was the getaway driver. Their appeals were rejected and in 2006 Lord Justice Kay said there was no "element of unsafety" over the convictions. The case was also reviewed by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which decided in 2023 not to refer it back to the Court of Appeal. The Parole Board said in February that Steele could be freed on licence after a "marked improvement" in his behaviour and because keeping him locked up was no longer necessary to protect the public. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood challenged the decision, arguing it was legally irrational, and asked for his case to be looked at again. However, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed Steele was let out in May. An MoJ spokesperson said: "Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Craig Rolfe, Tony Tucker and Pat Tate. "This decision was made by the independent Parole Board after a thorough risk assessment. "Michael Steele will be on licence for the rest of his life, with strict conditions and intensive probation supervision. He faces an immediate return to prison if he breaks the rules." Those conditions include staying at a designated address, giving up his passport, wearing an electronic tag and having a curfew. Other rules on using technology and speaking to the media are in place - and he won't be able to own a firearm, plane or boat.

Starling Reports Strong Revenue and Invests for Growth
Starling Group today published its financial results for the twelve months ending 31 March 2025 (FY25), showing strong growth in revenue, customer numbers and deposits. This performance positions the Group well as it prepares to launch new retail and SME banking propositions, announce more international Engine by Starling clients, and create more than a thousand jobs. FY25 Highlights: Revenue rose to £714 million, up from £682 million the previous year, demonstrating a continued robust performance across all business lines. Customer deposits reached a record £12.1 billion, up from £11.0 billion the previous year, demonstrating growing confidence in the bank and its services. Open accounts reached a new high of 4.6 million, a 10% increase from 4.2 million in the prior year, indicating continued customer acquisition success. Profit before tax decreased to £223 million as the Group recognised one-off costs relating to two legacy matters. Underlying profit before tax was £281million. The Group's capital surplus has grown by 40% to over £400 million. Raman Bhatia, Group Chief Executive, said: 'These results represent an important milestone, marking the Group's fourth consecutive year of profitability and revenue growth. This performance derives from our commitment to providing customers with innovative banking solutions and exceptional service. We are particularly pleased with Starling Bank's success in attracting new customers, as evidenced by the continued growth in our deposit base and open accounts.' 'In the last year we demonstrated our commitment to addressing legacy matters, investing in our people and capabilities so we now move forward from a position of strength. We will leverage our robust capital position to continue to scale our growth in the UK by helping our customers become better with money. We will also make great strides in turning Engine by Starling into a global success.' Declan Ferguson, Group Chief Financial Officer, added: 'The Group generated an underlying profit before tax of £281 million. Our revised capital requirements were communicated in April, taking our total surplus capital to more than £400 million in excess of our buffers; a 40% increase on last year. In the coming months, we'll be deploying this capital across Starling Bank, Engine and other international ventures to fuel our growth.' Group company contributions During the year, Starling Bank continued to innovate with new features, such as 'call status indicators,' which help customers spot bank impersonation scams, and low balance warnings when a customer's main balance drops below a pre-set threshold. The bank also launched its Easy Saver, which offers a competitive interest rate payable on balances up to £1 million, with penalty-free access and full integration into the Starling app. Engine's first Software-as-a-Service clients, Salt Bank in Romania and AMP Bank in Australia, launched their digital banking platforms during the year, contributing £8.7m (2024: £2.3m) to the Group's fee income. Engine is building a strong pipeline that could see it achieve recurring revenues in excess of £100 million in the short to medium term. Fleet, the Group's buy-to-let mortgage company, continues to be a successful acquisition. Fleet's lending grew by 33%, or £0.8 billion, reaching £3 billion. Mortgages grew to represent 90% of total gross lending, reflecting the Group's focus on a secured lending growth strategy. We continue our mission to be the lender of choice in the specialist buy-to-let market. Overall, net fees and commissions, including fees from Engine, grew by 12% year-on-year to £94.8 million, underscoring the Group's strategy of diversifying its sources of revenue and reducing its dependency on net interest income. Regulatory update As reported in October, the bank settled a £29.0 million fine from the FCA relating to the onboarding of certain high-risk customers in contravention of agreed restrictions and sanctions screening processes. Through extensive investment in resources and expertise relating to financial crime, Starling Bank has an established risk management and control framework that will support a new phase of safe, sustainable growth. The bank also recognised a £28.2 million provision related to the voluntary removal of the government guarantee on a limited number of loans issued under the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS), which the bank determined may not comply with the guarantee requirement. This proactive step further evidences Starling's commitment to addressing legacy matters.
