Tory Curse. Pothole compensation claims made to councils in Britain rose by 90% between 2021 and 2024. Only 26% of claims led to a payout. A friend, night-worker had to replace 4 tyres this year, pay for steering damage. Boosts GDP but destructive.

Research from the motoring group also finds that only one in four claims results in a payout.

My suggestion to the BBC has been that every day in prime time they broadcast a 10 minute extract of a recent Trump speech, unedited, in all its shambling incoherence, until he agrees to withdraw his lawsuit and pay costs. And he has to hand the cheque to Sadiq Khan.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

new allegation concerning Farage’s behaviour when he was 18 years old
Another contemporary yesterday accused the Reform leader of being a
"complete liar". Andy Field, a GP who was two years below Farage at Dulwich, said he had directly witnessed racial abuse from the Reform UK leader.
He told BBC Radio Four's World at One he had been contacted on social media by people "who were nine years old and Nigel Farage, when he was 18 years old, marched frequently into the playground where they were playing and they were told to 'go back to Africa'.
Others were singled out for being Jewish."
Field, who said he did not have political affiliations, added: "T'd see him goose-stepping through the playground and Nazi saluting on many occasions — that was quite a common occurrence. I'd also heard him saying things like Hitler was right and you escaped the gas chamber." In correspondence with The

@theguardian.com I'm glad you won the case against Noel Clarke, but does it justify 7 pages, including the cover, of gloating over it? Tucked away inside is a small section re Gaza; considering most people aren't aware how grim things are there I think this shows poor judgement on your part.

If the world fails to get a grip on carbon emissions, by 2100 the temperature rise could be 4.3 degrees. For Eastbourne, this will mean sea level rises of between 11- 43 inches. These models are reliable as they correlate well with historic data from tide gauges.
