London divorcee tells judge she can't have £2.5m home in 'less opulent' Battersea

In the acrimonious divorce battle played out in the High Court, the judge heard how the couple were married in 1997 and split in 2008, and the wife received an £8m payout the following year. But she now has only £4.685m of that left, and returned to court to demand more, telling the judge she could not live outside Kensington (pictured) because she felt 'frightened' of 'less opulent' areas. She also requested £25,000-a-year for holidays and weekends away and £10,000-a-year for therapy.

UK weather: Sub-zero temperatures for the South but in Scotland it's a balmy 10c

A yellow fog warning was issued for the South West, with dense freezing fog expected to cause travel chaos. England and Scotland had very different days as temperatures once again fell below freezing south of the border.

Zac Goldsmith LOSES Richmond by-election to the Lib Dems

The shock Liberal Democrat win in Richmond Park proves the demand for a second Brexit referendum to stop Theresa May 'perverting' the result, Tim Farron has claimed. The jubilant Liberal Democrat leader said there was 'no inevitability' that 'extreme positions' had to win as he said Sarah Olney's victory was a vote against hard Brexit. Ms Olney secured 49.6 per cent of the vote to inflict a crushing defeat on Zac Goldsmith in yesterday's by-election. The former Tory quit his seat in Parliament in protest at the plan to expand Heathrow. Mr Farron is facing claims the wealthy Richmond Park constituency - which backed Remain by 70 per cent in June - was not typical of the country as a whole, which endorsed Brexit by more than a million votes. But he made clear his intent to cash in on the result by claiming his second referendum plan was 'gaining traction' and was a 'threat' to dozens of Tory MPs with Lib Dem opponents.
