Emergency alert to be sent to phones from 7pm

People in England and Wales will get an emergency alert on their phones from 7pm today to warn them of the wildfire risk.

The government said it would "warn people not to light anything that could spark a fire, including barbecues, campfires, and fireworks.

"Recipients will also be urged to report any fire immediately by calling 999."

It will be sent on a "rolling basis from approximately 19:00".

Yes Chris mason, the woman who insisted people giving birth should be in handcuffs was immensely likable Let's not rewrite history just because she's dead. She was awful. Even with your reputation washing, and that of strictly & CBB. Nothing changes that she was awful
Widdecombe revelled in debate and plenty who knew her, whether they agreed with her or not, found her immensely likeable, writes Chris Mason

Absolutely desperate to win the vote in any constituency, hoping that they can become PM and implement more right wing policies?
Philip J Fry from Futurama "not sure if" meme. The top line reads "not sure if farage" the bottom line reads "or burnam". Fry is squinting his eyes 

Like farage, burnam isn't a "man of the people", he's just northern. He doesn't care about you, he just wants to be prime minister. He's not left wing, he's a member of a right wing party

Turns out he's a man of principles en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsten...
Torsten Bell voted against an SNP amendment to scrap the two-child benefit cap in July 2024, sticking with the government line despite his previous criticism of the policy.

Bell defended the decision by the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, to rule out a wealth tax, claiming it would not have much of an impact, despite claiming in a previous article how wealth taxes would raise billions in revenue.

When does a weapon become offensive? Did it call him a cunt?

Isn't this the guy who played starmer on last weeks #SNLUK opening sketch?
A headline from The Times which reads "New savings scheme to levy zero tax on gains". There is a photo of a man behind 3 microphones. He's in a suit and tie. He looks, to me, remarkably similar to someone who was playing kier starmer on the first episode of Saturday Night Live UK. I've no idea who the man might be

The body on the floor looks like the size of a child?
A screenshot from a Sky article on the latest information from epstien files which have been released. There is a picture with the grotesque none-prince andrew on all fours, on top of an unidentified body. The body appears quite small to me, possibly that of a child. But of course, andrew isn't a nonce, this is all just a bit of fun between two consenting adults which has been taken out of context 

The article text reads:

Andrew pictured on all fours above a woman

Three images from the latest tranche of documents appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on all fours over a woman lying on the floor.

In two of the pictures, he appears to be touching the woman's stomach, while the other shows him looking straight at the camera.

The photo comment reads:

Photos in the Epstein files appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on the floor with a woman. Pic: US Department of Justice

Again, the man isn't a nonce. There's just a lot of circumstantial evidence which may suggest that he is, but he absolutely isn't. All just innocent fun between consenting adults

What's that, 3 and a half years out from an election with a several hundred seat majority and you feel the need to increase attacks on a party with 4 MPs? There's a reason the Green party is resonating with the public, and it sure as fuck isn't because they're trying to out-reform reform

Headline from "The Times" which is presumed to be a respectable, no nonsense newspaper that reads "I used AI to get Homer Simpson an interview at Imperial". Homer Simpson is a cartoon character so cannot "get" an interview anywhere. This is just more trash ai slop masturbation which appears to have been embraced by the majority.

Would you look at that. The nice locksmith man who believes in rehabilitation rather than prison is saying he's going to create an additional 14,000 prison places
Prisons Minister Lord Timpson said Mr Taylor's findings show "the scale of the crisis" the government "inherited", with "prisons dangerously full, rife with drugs and violence".

He said: "After just 500 prison places added in 14 years, we're building 14,000 extra - with 2,400 already delivered - and reforming sentencing to ensure we never run out of space again.

Headline reading "73% of German Companies Tried Four-Day Workweek - Now They Refuse to Go Back"

The article states that it's 100% pay, 80% hours, 100% productivity. Not any of this compressed hours shit which just create even more burnout 

I fully expect the labour party to float the idea of a 6 day week to own reform or sole shit like that. Cunts

On mobile the answer is:

No, the train scene in Octopussy was not filmed at the same location as the train scene in Life on Mars (the episode "The Doctor"). The Octopussy train scene was filmed at the Nene Valley Railway in Cambridgeshire. The Life on Mars episode featured a scene on the "High Wycombe to London" train, which was filmed at an unspecified location.

While both scenes involved trains, they were filmed in different locations.On desktop the answer is:

No, the train scene in "Octopussy" was not filmed at the same location as the train scene in "Life on Mars". The "Octopussy" train chase scene was filmed at the Nene Valley Railway in Cambridgeshire, England. The train scene in "Life on Mars" was filmed at the Nene Valley Railway.
