Around 500,000 Child Benefit claimants are yet to receive their monthly payment for June, due today, which some say has left them unable to pay for bills and facing being hit with late payment and/or overdraft fees. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has asked people not to get in touch while it "urgently" tries to fix the problem – though it doesn't have a timeframe on how long this will take. 

MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) was first alerted to the problem after concerned Child Benefit recipients contacted MSE founder Martin Lewis on social media. We're continuing to push for further information and we'll update this news story as soon as we know more.

Defeat may be Southgate's last - but he'd leave England with head high

  Gareth Southgate has taken us on one heck of a journey over the past eight years, but I suspect Sunday’s defeat by Spain will be his last game as England manager. Right now Gareth will be hurting like hell after what happened in Berlin but my feeling is that, when the dust settles on the final of Euro 2024, he will decide he’s had enough. It should be his decision to stay or go - and I think it will be - but it is a tiring job and he has been doing it for a long time. If he does leave, he should go with his head held high because England are in a completely different place now compared to where they were when he took over in 2016. England were at rock bottom after losing to Iceland and becoming a laughing stock that summer, followed by the embarrassment of Sam Allardyce’s exit after his short stint in charge.Gareth came in and put a smile on everyone’s faces - bringing the squad together, getting us to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and then the final of the European Championship

Jujutsu Kaisen Just Proved to Be the Most Influential Modern Manga with Three New Shonen Jump Series

  There’s no doubt that   Jujutsu Kaisen ’s popularity skyrocketed in the latest years, becoming   the most popular anime in 2024 , according to Record Guiness. This success transferred to manga, making   Jujutsu Kaisen  the second-best-selling manga of 2023   and the holder of first place so far in 2024.  However,   JJK ’s impact goes beyond its popularity, as it’s changing the game in the manga industry. Even though   exorcist series have always been popular , like   Mob Psycho 100 ,   D. Gray-Man,   and   Noragami , there’s been an increasing rise in this trope since   Jujutsu Kaisen   became a worldwide hit. The immense popularity of  Jujutsu Kaisen  explains why many mangaka would seek to debut a series that emulates a bit of its success. This can be appreciated by the fact that  Weekly Shōnen Jump  will be debuting three new series starting next week, with two of these series,  Kiyoshi The Exorcist  and  Yokai Buster Murakami , being about exorcists. This shows a clear trend in t
