Taylor-Johnson, 33, is reported to have landed a deal with the next Bond in an as-yet-untitled new take on the spy drama after Daniel Craig resigned from the role after 2021's No Time To Die. The English actor has been best known to most viewers for his role as superhero Pietro Maximoff (also known as Quicksilver) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and his role in Kick-Ass, based on Mark Millar's comic book. Fans are split on Taylor-Johnson's casting as Bond, with some fearing he lacks the charisma required to fill the spy's shoes, while others are hoping for a younger actor, such as Henry Cavill or Idris Elba, to carry Bond's classic maturity.

Britons who have installed heat pumps in their homes expressed their dissatisfaction with being left with'soul destroying' electricity bills and high installation costs. It comes after the Government's attempt to persuade Britons to install heat pumps was described as "shameful" and as an "embarrassment" due to a delay in meeting the target. During the first year of a scheme offering households a £5,000 voucher to help cover the costs, fewer than 10,000 pumps had been installed - of a 30,000 target. A number of homeowners with heat pumps have expressed their dissatisfaction with them, with one claiming that his electricity bill has soared to £5,000 in less than ten months. Another woman who had an air source heat pump installed said that her local council took so long to give planning permission that it cost her £5,000 in lost grant funds. Air source heat pumps cost between £7,000 and £14,000 to buy and install, while a ground source pump costs between £15,000 and £35,000, according to vouchers. Here's a look at what people have to say about heat pumps that they have installed at home.
