"From the late forties to the present day, his energy and creativity thrived in his shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and hotels and through his many design, architecture and furniture making businesses.

"Founding the Design Museum in London was one of his proudest moments and through its endeavours he remained a relentless champion of the importance of education to young people in the creative industries.

"Sir Terence enjoyed a remarkable life to the full and always maintained that his work never felt like a job - everything he did for business he would have done for pleasure.

"In his private life he was adored by his family and friends and we will miss him dearly.

"It gives us great comfort to know that many of you will mourn with us but we ask that you celebrate Terence's extraordinary legacy and contribution to the country he loved so dearly."

Born in Kingston upon Thames in 1931, he began his career making and selling furniture in London.

He went on to open restaurants across the capital before launching Habitat in 1964, with his third wife, Caroline Herbert.

That store grew into a large chain known for selling household goods and furniture in contemporary designs.

He received a knighthood in 1983 for services to design.

Tim Marlow, director and chief executive at the Design Museum, said: "Terence Conran was instrumental in the re-designing of post-war Britain and his legacy is huge.

"He is revered by generations of designers from Mary Quant and David Mellor to Thomas Heatherwick and Jonny Ive.

"He changed the way we lived and shopped and ate. He also created a great institution - the Design Museum - of which he was justifiably proud and with which he remained fully engaged right to the end of his extraordinary life.

"It was a privilege and an inspiration to know him."

Lord Mandelson, chairman of the board of trustees at the Design Museum, said: "Terence Conran has filled our lives for generations with ideas, innovation and brilliant design.

"He is one of the most iconic figures of post-war Britain, starting to recast the world of design when as a young man he joined the team working on the 1951 Festival of Britain and never stopping from that moment on.

"He leaves a treasure trove of household and industrial design that will stay with us forever."

And MP Barry Sheerman tweeted: "Terence Conran was a design legend as well as a brilliant entrepreneur I enjoyed working with him promoting design & young designer education with the Parliamentary Group on Design Policy-Connect."

He is survived by wife Vicki, and children Sebastian, Jasper, Tom, Sophie and Edmund.

Brexit: PM has 'wakened up to threat posed to union' - Paisley - BBC News

DUP MP Ian Paisley has defended new legislation from Prime Minister Boris Johnson that could override the Brexit withdrawal agreement.

He said Mr Johnson had "wakened up to the serious threat posed to the union".

The EU has warned the UK it could face legal action if it does not ditch controversial elements of the Internal Market Bill by the end of the month.

But Mr Johnson said the bill is needed to ensure there is no "full-scale trade border down the Irish Sea".

In a column in the Daily Telegraph, he accused the EU of adopting an "extreme" interpretation of the NI Protocol, which is contained within the withdrawal agreement, that could stop the transport of food from Britain to NI.

He has faced intense criticism from some members of his own party.

'Use NI as a pawn'

Mr Paisley told BBC 5Live he was "furious" but "not surprised".

"Throughout the negotiations we warned that there was an ulterior motive, that the European community was going to punish the UK," he said.

"The best way they found of punishing the UK was to attack the political, social and economic integrity of our nation and the best and easier way they found was to use Northern Ireland as a pawn.

"Northern Ireland will not be used as a pawn - we opposed the withdrawal agreement, we warned about this protocol, we said it would damage the integrity.

"I am glad, maybe at the last minute, the PM has wakened up to the serious threat that this poses to the union," he said.

"If the prime minister has the mettle to finish the job I welcome that but we will find out this Wednesday if he has a tinfoil spine and if he is not prepared to stand up to Europe, as the people of NI do not deserve to be treated differently to people in the rest of the UK," he added.

'Protocol is messy but necessary'

However Alliance MP for North Down Stephen Farry said the bill was "disingenuous" and "nonsense".

"Instability and uncertainty has been caused by Brexit," he said.

• Back me over Brexit bill, PM tells MPs
• The 310-mile border at the heart of Brexit

"Northern Ireland only works based on sharing and interdependence. The harder the Brexit, greater the challenge. The protocol is messy but necessary means to manage the fallout," he added.

Mr Johnson is likely to face a rebellion over the legislation as there are a number of his MPs who are not happy with the fact that it would breach international law.

In a Zoom call with about 250 of them, he said the party must not return to "miserable squabbling" over Europe.

Conservative backbencher Sir Bob Neill, who chairs the Commons Justice Committee, said he was not reassured by the prime minister's Zoom call.

He is tabling an amendment to the bill to try to force a separate parliamentary vote on any changes to the withdrawal agreement.

"I believe it is potentially a harmful act for this country, it would damage our reputation and I think it will make it harder to strike trade deals going forward," he said.

At about the same time as the prime minister was speaking, the European Parliament announced it would "under no circumstances ratify" any trade deal reached between the UK and EU if the "UK authorities breach or threaten to breach" the withdrawal agreement.

There is unease over this within the Conservative Party, with former leaders Theresa May, Lord Howard and Sir John Major urging Mr Johnson to think again.

The two sides have less than five weeks to agree a deal before Mr Johnson's 15 October deadline - after which he says he is prepared to "walk away".

Coronavirus cases rise by 3,497 in biggest Saturday increase in four months with nine deaths - The Sun

ANOTHER 3,497 people have tested positive for coronavirus overnight in the highest Saturday rise since May as new cases in the UK continue to soar.

Nine more people have also lost their lives to the deadly bug - as Britain's grim tally rises to 41,623.

Nine more people have died with coronavirus in the UK

Cases remain high as another 3,497 people tested positive for the deadly bug

Yesterday's rise in new cases - 3,539 - was the highest recorded on any day since May 17.

The news comes ahead of Monday's stricter lockdown laws, which will see groups limited to just six people.

Officials are reinstating draconian measures amid fears the virus is rising out of control.

Eight people who had tested positive for Covid-19 have died in hospitals in England.

Patients were aged between 61 and 91, and all had known underlying health conditions.

In both Scotland and Wales, no new deaths have been recorded.

However, in Scotland, daily coronavirus cases have also hit a four-month high, with total of 221 people testing positive - the highest daily figure since May 8.  

The figures for Northern Ireland aren't yet available.

The discrepancy in the figures is based on when they were recorded.

The Department for Health figure for the UK also takes into account deaths that occurred outside hospitals, for example in care homes and other settings, in the past day.

It comes as:

A top academic says he fears the spike in cases is down to the success of Rishi Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme.

More than 100million discount meals were claimed during the popular initiative - but there has since been a "rapid acceleration" in coronavirus cases.

That's according to a new report by Oxford University researcher Toby Phillips, which says the scheme could have "encouraged extravagant levels of eating out".

The report claims eateries had already almost recovered from lockdown when the scheme began.

It was published after it was revealed this week that the crucial R rate soared to 1.7, with Matt Hancock warning the rise – which he says is fuelled by young Brits - justifies the strict new rule of six.

Ministers also announced a partial lockdown in Birmingham and two neighbouring boroughs yesterday.

The shutdown affects more than 1.6million people.

There are fears millions of people living in Newcastle, Leeds and Merseyside will be the next affected by stricter lockdowns.

The areas are among the coronavirus hotspots added to the Government's watch list.

A ban on households mixing indoors remains in place across Greater Manchester and parts of West Yorkshire.

In a bid to halt the rising number of new cases, everyone in England has been ordered to comply with stringent new measures from next week.

The PM all but cancelled Christmas after saying the restrictions could go on for six months.

And he announced plans to spend £100BILLION on Operation Moonshot, which could see every Brit in the UK getting a test.

It's understood the PM is also considering new proposals that will see those who flout self-isolation advice hit with fines - while people can shop those who don't comply via a new 'quarantine hotline'.

Meanwhile, coronavirus infections have surged among middle-aged Brits as vases in over-50s rocketed by 92 per cent last week.

Senior government officials have said the rise in cases in higher risk groups is "worrying" as Downing Street looks to stem the spread of the bug heading into the winter.

Yvonne Doyle, medical director of PHE, said of the rise in cases among over-50s: "Although younger people continue to make up the greatest share of new cases, we're now starting to see worrying signs of infections occurring in the elderly, who are at far higher risk of getting seriously ill."

Until Friday, coronavirus cases had predominantly been rising among under-25s - who are statistically at far less risk of severe health complications from contracting the virus.

But the new spike in infections in older-age groups has also resulted in an increase in hospital admissions, which were up 20 per cent last week compared with the week before among those aged 60 to 75.

Brexit: Michael Gove says bill will protect 'integrity' of UK - BBC News

Media playback is unsupported on your device

Michael Gove has defended plans to override parts of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement as a means of protecting the "integrity" of the UK.

The Cabinet Office minister said the UK was being "generous" with the EU over the Brexit negotiations.

The EU has threatened legal action over the Internal Market Bill, which ministers say will break international law in a "specific and limited way".

PM Boris Johnson is urging Tory MPs to back it, after some raised concerns.

The bill, which will be formally debated in the House of Commons for the first time on Monday, addresses the Northern Ireland Protocol - the part of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement designed to prevent a hard border returning to the island of Ireland.

If this became law it would give UK ministers powers to modify or "disapply" rules relating to the movement of goods between Britain and Northern Ireland that will come into force from 1 January, if the UK and EU are unable to strike a trade deal.

Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis told the Commons the bill, which would go against the Withdrawal Agreement signed by the UK and EU, would "break international law in a very specific and limited way".

But Mr Gove said the attorney general had said the proposal would be consistent with the rule of law - and that it was important to have an "insurance policy".

He insisted the government was being "proportionate and generous" in its approach to the EU talks.

Mr Gove said: "These steps are a safety net, they're a long-stop in the event, which I don't believe will come about but we do need to be ready for, that the EU follow through on what some have said they might do which is, in effect, to separate Northern Ireland from the rest of the United Kingdom."

While admitting it was a "crunch moment", he insisted "we have got the support of our own MPs".

No more 'miserable squabbling'

The EU and UK have less than five weeks to agree a deal before Mr Johnson's 15 October deadline - after which he says he is prepared to "walk away".

Informal talks are due to resume on Monday, with the next official round of talks - the ninth since March - starting in Brussels on 28 September.

The EU says the planned changes must be scrapped or they risk jeopardising the UK-EU trade talks and the European Parliament says will "under no circumstances ratify" any trade deal reached between the UK and EU if the "UK authorities breach or threaten to breach" the Withdrawal Agreement.

On Friday Mr Johnson had a Zoom call with about 250 of his MPs, in which he said the party could not return to "miserable squabbling" over Europe.

Conservative backbencher Sir Bob Neill, who chairs the Commons Justice Committee, said he was not reassured by the prime minister's Zoom call. He is tabling an amendment to the bill to try to force a separate parliamentary vote on any changes to the Withdrawal Agreement. "I believe it is potentially a harmful act for this country, it would damage our reputation and I think it will make it harder to strike trade deals going forward," he said.

Former Conservative party leaders Theresa May, Lord Howard and Sir John Major are also among senior figures urging Mr Johnson to think again.

Both Ireland and the EU have warned that Mr Johnson's plans pose a serious risk to the peace process rather than protecting the Good Friday Agreement, as the government claims.

Writing that it had become clear there might be a "serious misunderstanding" between the UK and EU over the Withdrawal Agreement, Mr Johnson said the UK must be protected from what he called a "disaster" of the EU being able to "carve up our country" and "endanger peace and stability in Northern Ireland".

He said there was still a "very good chance" of the UK and EU striking a deal by mid-October similar to that previously agreed between the EU and Canada - which got rid of most, but not all, tariffs on goods.

But in a column in the Daily Telegraph, he accused the EU of adopting an "extreme" interpretation of the Northern Ireland Protocol to impose "a full-scale trade border down the Irish Sea" that could stop the transport of food from Britain to Northern Ireland.

Mr Gove told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it would be "irrational" not to allow the transportation of food in such a way, which would happen if the UK was not granted third-country listing. Such a listing is needed for the export of food.

Brexit: Michael Gove warns EU not to 'threaten integrity of UK' - BBC News

The government is being "generous" with the EU over Brexit negotiations, says Michael Gove.

The cabinet minister said the UK was trying to protect the single market - but warned the EU could not threaten "the integrity of the United Kingdom".

His comments came after Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Tory MPs to back his plan to override part of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement.

The EU has said the UK could face legal action over its Internal Market Bill.
