The film that propelled her to stardom is also her best known, the erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992). Fans and critics hailed Stone’s glamorous style, although some detracted her films for their depictions of women, violence, and sexuality.

As we entered 2026, the trajectory for Buy-to-Let (BTL) mortgage rates appeared to be on a clear downward path.  After several Bank of England base rate cuts over the past 12 months, dropping from 4.75% to 3.75% in February, landlords and property investors finally saw some respite from the high cost of borrowing.  However, the landscape is shifting.  Ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the looming threat of energy-driven inflation are beginning to alter forecasts. While we entered the year with optimism, the prospect of further base rate cuts in 2026 is now under intense scrutiny.  Bank of England…

In Ukraine, the ongoing war with Russia has not stopped authorities from enforcing the law — or alleged criminals from breaking it.  In a shocking revelation, police in Kyiv announced that a woman fraudulently claimed a portion of Holosiivskyi National Nature Park was her own private property, according to Pragmatika.  The woman reportedly built a fence around the plot of land and erected a house. She also allegedly used fraudulent documents to show that the property belonged to her, per authorities. “Investigators informed the offender of suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: unauthorized construction of structures…

“The latest SONIA swap rates show the move clearly, with two-year money at 4.483%, three-year at 4.420% and five-year at 4.346%. That matters for mortgages because lenders price fixed rates off future funding costs, not simply where Bank Rate sits today. “The immediate impact is likely to be further upward pressure on fixed mortgage rates, along with more short-notice withdrawals as lenders try to keep pace with fast-moving markets. Mortgage pricing does not wait for the Bank of England to come to fruition.
