Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour is trying to sell a £10million mansion that he doesn’t actually legally own, MailOnline can reveal. Gilmour, 78, recently discovered that a legal oversight means the six-bedroom property he and his wife Polly Samson have lived in for years is actually owned by the Crown. Now he is suing the government to correct the mistake so that he can finally sell it.

Donald Trump has nominated a number of highly controversial candidates to serve in his Cabinet – but a new poll claims they have a slight edge on public approval, with one glaring exception. The president-elect has selected a group of hardline conservatives and MAGA loyalists to serve in his administration. Some have unorthodox views and little government experience, while others are hampered by criminal allegations. However, an Echelon Insights poll shows nearly every member with a slight favorability.

The Kremlin has threatened a ‘nuclear response’ should Ukraine strike targets inside Russia with Western-supplied long-range missiles. ‘The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression with the use of conventional weapons against it,’ Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Russia this morning according to the TASS news service. His statement came as Putin approved an updated nuclear doctrine that would allow his strategic missile forces to deploy nuclear weapons in the event that Russian territory is threatened by a non-nuclear nation supported by a nuclear power.

Snow fell in London today as Britain was gripped by an Arctic chill with temperatures falling well below zero, trains cancelled, cars stuck and schools closed. Commuters faced travel chaos and the coldest UK temperature this early in the season since 1998 was recorded as Braemar in Aberdeenshire fell to -11.2C (12.2F). The Met Office imposed three yellow weather warnings for snow and ice today across the Midlands and North of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Jeremy Clarkson today demanded Labour ‘backs down’ over its inheritance tax grab as he joined 13,000 farmers and their supporters for a mass protest in London. The 64-year-old appeared alongside his Clarkson’s Farm co-stars Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland – defying the advice of his doctors to ‘avoid stress’ while he recovers from a life-saving heart operation. Farmers arrived at the event in a convoy of tractors bearing ‘the final straw’ signs before joining a huge rally attended by the likes of Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Tory party leader Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.

Jeremy Clarkson is expected to defy doctors’ orders and lead thousands of farmers from Diddly Squat and descend on Westminster to protest against the inheritance tax raid. Farmers gathering for today’s mass protest in London warned that ‘things will get bad very fast’ if the government refuses to scrap plans for inheritance tax on farms. Thousands are set to descend on Westminster to vent their anger over what has been called the ‘family farm death tax’ introduced in last month’s Budget.
