Andy Burnham: “If she is saying she is happy with the status quo, she is in a minority in this country. People know Britain can do better than this." 🚨 Burnham is right: the public is unhappy with our current relationship with the EU. In fact, 628 out of 632 constituencies now want EU membership.

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia
• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.
