The British seaside city that is officially one of the best places in the world for nightlife
There are so many factors that go into making a good city great. For somewhere to truly be one of the best places in the world, it needs fantastic food, diverse and exciting culture, efficient public transport and a welcoming vibe. It should also be able to offer you a really, really good night out. So, with that in mind, Time Out has quizzed thousands of city natives across the world on how they rate the nightlife in their locale. While we know that places like London, Manchester and Leeds do all offer brilliant nights out (just take a look at our list of the country's greatest club nights), there was just one UK city that ranked in the global top 20 best nightlife cities in the world. Brighton was the only British city to make the cut. With 81 percent of locals rating the city's nightlife either 'good' or 'amazing', it landed seventh on our list, just beneath some of the planet's better known clubbing meccas like Las Vegas, Madrid and Berlin. Liv Kelly, Time Out's travel writer and Brighton local, explains that the city's thriving after-dark scene owes a lot to its queer population (which has earned it the title of the UK's Gay Capital). Our survey found that Brighton is one of the world's most diverse and inclusive cities, with 64 percent of its residents describing it 'welcoming and friendly' – the perfect recipe for a good time. Liv said said: 'At Brighton's nighttime core is the deep-rooted role that LGBTQ+ spaces – which began cropping up way back in the '20s and '30s – have played.' She shouts out 'veteran queer institutions' Legends and Revenge as well as more recent additions like lesbian club night Crushed and disco rave collective TidalGroove. If it's a more lowkey night out that you're after, Brighton can do that too. When it comes to 'more intimate, sound-led venues and bars', Liv recommends The Well, Helm or Alphabet. You can see all our favourite Brighton bars here. And you're in good hands for the morning after. The seaside city was one the the top ranking UK spots when Time Out asked people what they thought of the food scene in their hometown. Starfish & Coffee, Egg & Spoon and Café Coho all serve up stellar brunches that'll bring you back to life.

Despite the online hate, George says he's not trying to impress anyone, he's doing it to stay alive and be there for his family. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.

LIV Golf superstar comes out swinging over Shane Lowry storm and claims players are stuck in no win situations
Jon Rahm feels his Ryder Cup pal was put in a tough spot Jon Rahm reckons there has to be a rule change after Shane Lowry's two-shot storm at The Open, writes Craig Swan from Portrush. The Spanish star played alongside his Ryder Cup team-mate less than 24 hours after the controversial call which smacked the 2019 champion. Lowry was docked a couple of strokes when it was adjudged his ball had moved during a practice-swing routine on the 12th hole of his Friday round. The Irishman was sickened over the ruling which was based on camera footage, but says he was not going to argue as he was not prepared to be smashed with social-media taunts of being a cheat. Rahm was aware of the scenario and believes something has to change in the rules having been in the same situation himself at one point. The Liv star said: 'I can relate because I've been there. They've done exactly the same thing to me where they give you the iPad, and look what happened. 'You're in a no-win situation because if you say I didn't see it, therefore I don't think it should be a penalty, even though the rule says it should be visible to the naked eye, you always run the risk of being called something you don't want to be called. 'And, if you take it on the safe side, you're taking a two-shot penalty. If he starts at two-under today, you have a good Saturday, you can put yourself in contention. When you get 10 shots back, it's a little bit harder. It's a tough spot to be in. From what I understand from the whole thing, and I haven't seen the images, this is just from what I heard, it needs to be visible without a camera. 'If the rule says visible to the naked eye, we need to uphold that more than anything else. I don't know. It's always going to be based on the situation, and when you get in the rough, it's tricky. 'I'm assuming if he was in the rough on 12, right or left, there's enough people around you that if they see it, they're going to say so. Something needs to be changed for sure, I just don't know exactly how they could change it.' While unimpressed at the Lowry position, Rahm was not one of those with an issue over the slow play. He said: 'The people that played in my wave, we had a lot of rain come in and out, so umbrellas out, glove out, put the rain gear on, take the rain gear off, give the umbrella to the caddie. It becomes a lot longer that way. 'When you have 150 plus the first two rounds, every single major except the Masters, obviously, is going to be longer rounds. It's just what it is. 'In smaller fields when you have less people, and even in threesomes in small fields, you don't really have that issue. Once they get to the Playoffs or DP World championship or Abu Dhabi, those are not things that become an issue. 'I think there's so many players and there's so many opportunities where the game can get delayed, that's just going to happen. It's the flow of the game. There's very little you can do to make those rounds a lot shorter. That's just the nature of the game. 'It's a bit of an adjustment after playing in LIV because we absolutely fly. The one thing we do, I feel like every round is less than four and a half hours unless the weather conditions are crazy. Doral may be a little bit longer. 'It is an adjustment when you get to play a six-hour round a little bit, but I also know it's going to happen. 'Just distract yourself a little bit and basically lock back in when it's time. There's nothing else you can do.'
