Police uncovered his stash of explosives after Whittaker suffered a life-threatening allergic reaction and called 999 for medical help on 18 April 2024.

I had this idea of buying an army coat from a typically cold country as they'd theoretically be designed to be durable and warm.
I found a Polish army jacket in my local army shop. In the mad off chance you live near Madrid, it's in Argüelles.
It's quilt lined and it also has a quilted removable lining. It's very warm, I used it for work at a job in October/November last year and I didn't feel the cold at all.
