A massive Brexit row threatens to erupt after the European Union announced plans to take the UK to court over its tough new rules to protect puffins.The European Commission said on Friday (October 25) that it will trigger a dispute settlement mechanism over Britain’s post-Brexit blanket ban on fishing sand eels.These slippery eel-like fish are a favourite food of endangered seabirds, including puffins, and a popular catch among EU fishing fleets.Brussels argues that the ban on fishing sand eels in England’s North Sea waters and all Scottish seas prevents EU vessels from operating a “sustainable” fishery.The UK and Scottish governments’…

Prince George may be a future King, but at school, the 11-year-old is treated the same as any other student.While he spent his first few years of education at a school in London, the prince now attends Lambrook School in Windsor along with his siblings Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.As well as studying classic areas of the curriculum, including maths, science and English, the prince also takes part in lessons outside of the classroom, including litter-picking.However, this served only to annoy George, who, like his dad, found the concept of people throwing rubbish on the ground frustrating.When appearing…
