Figures published today reveal 32.6 per cent of students in London obtained top grades - 7/A or above - in this year's GCSE results, while the figure was 22.4 per cent for those in the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber.

Her remarks come as the MoS reveals a new photograph today of the disgraced former socialite taken at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in New York this year before she was moved to a prison in Florida to serve her 20-year sentence.

Surfshark boasts an impressive suite of privacy and security features, unlimited simultaneous connections, easy-to-use interface and expansive global network. That's what helped Surfshark earn CNET's Editors' Choice for Best Value VPN in 2022. And it's still significantly cheaper than most of its competitors.

She dismissed a photograph, first revealed by this newspaper, of the Prince with his arm around Ms Roberts at Maxwell's home in Belgravia, Central London, in March 2001, saying: 'I don't recognise that picture and I don't believe it is a real picture.

Surfshark says it doesn't log any user activity. Surfshark says a new audit is forthcoming by the end of this year.  And although no-logging claims are virtually with 100% certainty, German cybersecurity firm Cure53 declared Surfshark's security to be "solid" in its 2021 security audit of the VPN.

One innovation we're excited to see Surfshark roll out over the next year is its Nexus network, which connects the VPN's entire network of servers together and allows you to choose multiple servers to route your connection through. The functionality is somewhat similar to . 

IPVanish's monthly plan costs $11 per month, but you can get a discount on its yearly plan now for $40 for the first year. The provider offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, but only if you purchase the yearly plan -- which could be a disappointment to anyone who purchased a monthly or quarterly subscription and decided they didn't like the service. However, that yearly plan jumps to $90 for any subsequent years of service. You can also opt for a quarterly plan that costs just over $13 for the first three months, then $30 for each three-month period thereafter. We also liked its connection kill switch feature, a must for anyone serious about protecting their privacy while surfing.  That said, the company gets kudos for allowing unlimited simultaneous connections.

All of our top-rated VPNs have wide compatibility across platforms and operating systems, but ExpressVPN's collection of setup guides, detailed FAQs and troubleshooting articles give it a clear advantage for users. So does its 24/7 customer support, and its no-questions-asked, 30-day money back guarantee. 

The Royal, seen later grinning on a horse, had looked ashen faced yesterday as he was seen with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson - hours after Jeffrey Epstein's conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell called him a 'dear friend'.

NordVPN also offers a dedicated IP option, for those looking for a different level of VPN connection, and the ability to VPN into Tor. NordVPN is one of the most recognized brands in the VPN field. It offers a generous simultaneous connection count, with six simultaneous connections through its network, where nearly all other providers offer five or fewer. More than half of Nord's 5,000-plus server fleet is optimized for peer-to-peer sharing, though Nord has blocked torrenting in 14 countries.

Even so, Surfshark manages to keep its prices lower than most other VPNs -- helping it earn CNET's Editors' Choice for Best Value. If you're not satisfied with the service for any reason, Surfshark offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. The yearly plan starts out at $48 for the first year, then jumps to $60 for any additional years of service. Surfshark's monthly plan stays constant at $13 a month. If you opt for the two-year plan, you'll pay $60 up front for the initial two years combined, then $60 per year for any additional years. Surfshark offers cheaper introductory prices that jump after the first billing cycle.

Today, one educational charity, Schools North East, which describes itself as dedicated to improving outcomes for young people in the north-east of England, said the increased gap shows that adaptations made this year such as more generous grading and focused revision topics had not gone far enough.

Schools minister Will Quince has insisted closing the attainment gap is a 'huge priority' for the Government, as Labour accused the Tories of having 'failed' children amid regional disparities in results.

"But - sometimes substantial - gaps still need to be bridged in important areas like fisheries, governance and level playing field... Success depends on whether London also wants a fair deal and is ready to accept the inherent trade-offs," the diplomat said.
