ME & MY MONEY: Historian Bettany Hughes Hates Extravagance
Description

They can be extremely abusive and have even threatened my children. Just as worrying is that this abuse is mostly coming from men, and is incredibly misogynistic. It's the worst I've ever known. Most hide behind social media.

'And that is already seeing money roll out into people's pockets, particularly for young people and for young women. If you're a woman who's 25 and under you've seen more than $2,000 of tax relief on average.' 

The 54-year-old academic and broadcaster told Donna Ferguson she has never owned a credit card, nor made any major mistakes with money.
But she is prepared to spend £135 on a massage as a treat because of the 'weird positions' she often finds herself in, crawling through tombs while filming at historic sites.

The mum-of-one reportedly ended their two-year relationship in 2021, after learning the full extent of the conman's crimes - but admitted they would always have a co-parenting relationship for their son. 

Hands-on: The Sin City actress also discussed the differences between her children's experiences and pointed out that each of her three kids had specific issues that needed to be addressed by their parents; she is seen with her family in 2019

'I had to pay for years of childcare - with a mortgage like millions of others. They are utterly selfish to have put you in this position and suggest if you have a good relationship with your son talk it out with him.' 

The golden slippers of Tutankhamun that were left in his tomb.
I touched them last August when I was filming my new Channel 5 series. They are almost 3,500 years old. You can't even put a value on objects like that. They are priceless. When you touch something that old, you feel a connection to the past - and you realise that what mattered to them matters to us.

I like a massage wherever I am in the world.
When I'm doing TV shows, I am often in really weird positions - crawling through tombs or hanging off the edges of ancient sites. So a massage is my treat to myself. I will spend anything from £35 to £135. I have about four a year.

He said the government focused in 2020 and 2021 on lowering electricity prices by eight per cent, investing $10 billion a year in childcare, and providing $30 billion of tax relief for low and middle income earners. 

Otherwise you risk excluding young girls from their own sport at a time when it is imperative to both their physical and mental health. We already struggle to keep young girls engaged in sport. What's more, in contact sports this situation is a serious accident waiting to happen.

'You have sort of like the 10-year-old fifth-grader stuff, which is the beginning of the hormone shifts and the awakening of this next stage of self, and Honor's like right in the thick of it,' she stated.

A women's group last week filed a civil complaint against the University of Pennsylvania for allowing Thomas to compete on its team for breaking Title 9, which was introduced to stop sexual discrimination in sport.

The couple went public in December by sharing sweet snaps together to Instagram, after romance rumours were originally sparked between the two in October - when Jarrod was spotted leaving her Essex home. 

They grew up during the war and believed in being self-sufficient.
They would grow vegetables and bake their own bread. My father, in particular, never took anything for granted. He did not know his father and he provided for himself from the age of 15 when his mother died. So I was brought up with a sense that money should never be wasted.

They didn't. In fact, last year they dropped testosterone suppression as a requirement and prioritised the inclusion of transgender athletes over fair sport for females, in the process discriminating against half of the world's population. 

Alba did point out, however, that although her husband was more lax as a parent and generally concerned about their children's personal and academic well-being, she preferred to take a more hands-on role in their kids' upbringing. 

Going their own way: During the sit-down, Alba noted that she felt that letting her children make wrong decisions and measuring how much they should deal with them on their own was what she felt was the most difficult aspect of parenthood
