"The Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair" It's easy to forget that Tony Blair had been in power since 1694 when the Bank of England was founded. Good job Brain of Britain Liz Truss is here to remind us.

Rejected petition: Make full eclipses an annual occurrence in the UK and a Public Holiday.
Eclipses are an awesome phenomenon and it is unfair that Spain had a full one and we didn’t. I want a full eclipse in the UK every year and for it to be a Public Holiday.

Emily Sheffield is a prime example of how background and connections in the UK get you to places your talent and ability never would. There is no way she'd have done what she has if she'd not been the daughter of a baronet and the step-daughter of a viscount. Editor of the Evening Standard FFS!!

More than half of accounts posting about violence in Belfast & Southampton on X were based overseas. Only 4 of the 12 most-seen posts were from the UK. X is now "“a weapon of choice” for hostile foreign actors seeking to manipulate shocking & divisive content". www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
"Nearly a third of all 43,000 posts on X relating to the two incidents contained racist or anti-immigration comments. Almost one in 10 relating to Belfast contained calls for violence or paramilitary or vigilante action.

Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, said the data demonstrated that X had become “a weapon of choice” for hostile foreign actors seeking to manipulate shocking and divisive content.

Their goal, he added, was “to amplify local tragedies and crises, intensify racist narratives, and incite violence in communities they have never set foot in and to whom they have no real connection.”"

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there an inherent problem with a politician hoping to be the next PM shilling for a gold bullion company? As I understand it, gold tends to do well when the economy is in the toilet and PM Farage would want the economy to do well no?

The process to select Labour's candidate for the parliamentary seat was
