Ezra Klein is right: RSI absolutely must be stopped before it’s too late. But here’s the question: how can we possibly ENFORCE a ban on AI’s recursively building improved AIs even if we and China agree on the terms of such a global ban — a very big “if” in itself? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/o...

Royal Mail once again missed its letter delivery targets. Regulator lowers targets, RM still doesn't meet them. Price of 1st class postage: £1.80, 2nd class 91p. When privatized in 2013 by Tory and LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Worse service for higher price.

"First the traitors then the invaders" is Elon Musk endorsing an open call to prioritise political murders + assassinations before violence against migrants and minorities. Still little recognition in the UK government at the persistence of the promotion of political violence - inc murder - by Musk

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 12/01/2026
NEW: London has recorded its lowest homicide rate since records began. The evidence is clear - our approach to tackling violent crime is working.
Infographic titled ‘London’s homicide rate is lowest in recorded history.’ A line chart shows London’s homicide rate per 100,000 residents from 1997 to 2025. Rates peak around 2003 at just under 3.0, then steadily decline with small fluctuations, reaching 1.1 in 2025. Text highlights that the rate is 55% lower than in 1997. Caption notes targeted measures led by the Mayor and that this is the lowest per-capita rate on record despite population growth. Sources: Metropolitan Police Service and Office for National Statistics.
