Craig Hamilton Parker made some predictions in 2024 that have come true this year (Picture: Getty Images/Metro.co.uk) Psychic Craig Hamilton-Parker has the uncanny ability to predict the future with incredible accuracy. He’s been called everything from the ‘new Nostradamus’ to the ‘Prophet of Doom’ and works as a spiritual medium with his wife Jane. Craig, 70, has been practising the psychic arts since his early 20s after being inspired by Nadi astrologists during a visit to India. Since then he has predicted major events like the Covid-19 pandemic,  Brexit ,  Tweety McTreason  becoming US president, Trump’s assassination attempt and even the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Last year, Craig spoke to Metro and gave his predictions for 2024. Just like previous years, his prophecies were eerily correct. Here is everything that Craig accurately predicted that came true in 2024. Rishi Sunak no longer being Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is no longer the Prime Minister, which Craig predicted (Picture: Getty Images) Last year, Craig predicted what he thought would happen to the Tory Party. At the time, he said: ‘Rishi Sunak will cease to be the prime minister in 2024. There will then be another leadership contest.’ While a General Election in 2024 was a foregone conclusion, Sunak’s predicted departure certainly did come true after Labour won the general election by a landslide, with the Tories suffering its worst defeat ever. There was then a leadership contest between six candidates, consisting of former cabinet ministers Priti Patel, Robert Jenrick, Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly, Mel Stride and Tom Tugendhat. The final four consisted of Cleverly, Badenoch, Jenrick and Tugendhat – with all of them giving speeches during the Conservative party conference in a final bid to be the next leader of the party. Following an impressive speech during the conference, many politicos believed Cleverly was a shoo-in for the leadership role. However, he was knocked out in a shocking twist, leaving Badenoch and Jenrick as the final two candidates. Badenoch subsequently

Wild boar wreaks havoc after sneaking into supermarket

The boar didn’t injure anyone, but caused chaos (Picture: SWNS) Shoppers were startled when they saw a wild boar perusing the supermarket aisles. Customers at Super Point Hypermarket in Kerala, India, were doing their normal shopping when a surprise visitor entered the premises. A wild boar managed to enter the shop and began jumping on carefully set-up displays on Christmas Eve. Terrified shoppers called the Kahangad Fire Department to help the situation, but even they couldn’t coax the boar out of the shop. Eventually, the animal spotted a way out and ran outside, to the relief of shoppers and employees. A fire department official said the boar caused panic, but luckily, no one was hurt. After sniffing around for a bit, the boar returned to the forest (Picture: SWNS) Five wild boars were spotted ‘on a night out’ as they strolled past a town centre pub earlier this year in Gloucestershire. Britain has a burgeoning boar population in areas such as the Forest of Dean – where one man had his finger bitten off by one. The pigs there have been attacking pets, dog walkers and have even learned when bin day is – so they can come into urban areas and rummage for food. In England, boars were hunted to extinction 700 years ago but became established again in the Forest in the 1990s. Wild boar are stocky, powerful animals covered in bristly hair that can vary from dark brown to gingery brown. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.

Redefining Dyslexia

What, exactly, is dyslexia? What causes it, how should it be diagnosed, and stemming from that, how should it be treated? We can even ask a more fundamental question – does it actually exist as a discrete clinical entity? These questions have existed since dyslexia was first described and named in 1887, by German Opthalmologist, Rudolf Berlin. Not surprisingly, he thought the […] The post Redefining Dyslexia first appeared on Science-Based Medicine.
