A former Russian state tv journalist has revealed that news staff present Putin with an edited version of the news with all the negative stories about him taken out. Keir Starmer gets something similar

France is leading the way by enacting a total ban on harmful chemical treatments to protect our essential pollinators. Bees are the backbone of global agriculture and food security. Let us hope that more countries follow this incredible example.

Happy Sussex Day! Sussex Day has become a popular way for residents to celebrate its rich heritage and everything that is good about the county. The date was chosen because it is St Richard's Day, which marks the life of St Richard, Bishop of Chichester from 1245 until his death in 1253.

I don't want a social media 'ban' for kids that they will get around in two mins. I want a govt that uses their time & money for proper, science-backed policies, that calls out racist behaviour for what it is, that doesn't arrest peaceful protesters & that acknowledges what is going on in the world!

The 1800s Had 'Brainrot' Too!
The Oxford Dictionary just added "brainrot" as its newest official word—a tongue in cheek term for consuming too much short-form social media content.

This. And it's same but different for kids living in a 'safe rural idyll'. Friends are miles away, there's f-all to do (until you find they discovered wild swimming way before you did without any of the safety measures) and no public transport if there was & it was affordable. Bloody ridiculous.

Being an academic in the UK is to be told that your research having a real-world impact is hugely important... only for you to wake up every day with the government announcing a new stupid policy clearly devoid of any fact-based evidence or underpinning research to justify it.

Also conversations about social media bans need to consider what we want young people to do instead. What will they do? Because concerts cost £££. No youth clubs. No libraries. We used to entertain ourself hanging out on the High Street. There is fuck all for young ppl on High Streets now

Breaking: Under 16s impose social media ban on Government. It’s too much to expect ministers to be able to cope with the extremism and disinformation they encounter on X and Facebook. At their age they’re too easily convinced that immigrants are dangerous and of the need to bring back “real bins”.

I know it’s practically blasphemy to say so, but society should not require everyone to work. Some people can’t. Some people shouldn’t. Some people contribute more by *not* working than they would by working. Work isn’t that important.

Remember this fact, the poorest 20% pay a higher percentage of tax than the richest 20%. In almost every country. The system is rigged and it is time to take back control and unrig it.

Also wetlands, bogs and moss which lock away more carbon per square metre than trees by far. Basically preserve environments and eco diversity! We must build and work collaboratively with the rest of life on this planet, not competitively any more.

My kingdom for a UK leader who will say "immigrants are a key part of our communities, they are our neighbours, friends, colleagues, partners. We will not tolerate racist and fascist violence against them" and who is willing to walk the walk of defending us. Without "legitimate concerns"-ing it.
