Lauren Boebert reveals she’s officially a grandmother as she avoids question about Marjorie Taylor Greene spat
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has announced she has become a grandmother at the age of 36. Ms Boebert, who has insisted in the past that raising a child is cheaper than paying for birth control, made the announcement while dodging a question about her spat with congressional colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene. Ms Greene called Ms Boebert a "little b****" on the House floor during a spat. Ms Boebert sat down for an interview with Sean Hannity the next day during which he asked about the feud. That's when Ms Boebert revealed she became a grandmother. "Sean, I did not put my life on pause and leave my four boys and my now grandson to come here and just get in spats with people," she told the host. "I came here to legislate and to be effective for Coloradans, Coloradans who are suffering from the Democrats’ policy. Marjorie is not my enemy. Joe Biden’s policy, the Democrats, that is my enemy that I am combating right now." The new grandchild belongs to her 17-year-old son Tyler. Ms Boebert first announced that her child was having a child in April. “So I’m going to tell you all for the first time in a public setting, that not only am I a mom of four boys, but come April I will be a gigi to a brand new grandson. And Jason and I are so excited to welcome this new life into our family,” she told the crowd at a Moms for America event. She told the same crowd that there was “something special” about rural communities because their teen moms did not abort pregnancies as often as urban teenagers did. Data from the US Centres for Diease Control and Prevention shows that teenage mothers are less likely to finish high school than their childless counterparts. Ms Boebert is a living example of that statistic; she dropped out of high school in 2004 when she became pregnant. She only finished her GED in 2020 a month before her first primary contest during her congressional race. “Now my son when I approached him and told him, ‘Tyler, I’m going to be a 36-year-old grandmother.’ He said, ‘well didn’t you make granny a 36-year-old granny,’” Ms Boebert said during the Moms for America event. “I said, ‘Yes, I did.’ He said, ‘Well then it’s hereditary.’” She told the audience that she was proud of her son’s partner for not seeking an abortion.

There is a secret tunnel at Glastonbury that runs right through the middle of the festival
Glastonbury is back in full swing, and while the weather wasn't off to a great start as anticipated, lucky festival-goers didn't let it dampen their spirits. The likes of Elton John, Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey and Lizzo are set to head to the stage during the unmissable weekend. There is one thing, however, that many of the 200,000 revellers may unintentionally miss: A secret underground tunnel. That's right. There is a mysterious tunnel that connects the Greenpeace Field and the Green Futures area that runs below the old railway line through the middle of the site. The tunnel is often decorated with lights, glass and installations. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter That's not all... According to Somerset Live, there's another hidden gem tucked away at Glasto. Above the highest point of the festival area is Strummerville, an area to relax and unwind next to a 24-hour campfire and sofas. The area is often filled with live acoustic performances too. Not to mention, a 'hidden oasis' which is said to double up as a secret nudist area at Glastonbury. Tucked away from the crowds, this area has been a part of the festival for years and features a sauna, massage parlour and a cafe. Described as "a festival within a festival," Lost Horizons offers a "truly unique" experience. "Our Solar Stage offers a range of entertainment throughout the day, with an assortment of musical styles. You could be easing into the morning with acoustic and folk vibes and jump-start your afternoon with some reggae, swing and gypsy jazz," their site reads. "Some of the best musicians on the festival circuit have played often promoting and joining in with the naturist theme." Have your say in our news democracy.
