I would like phones to have an anti-mithering mode. So you could temporarily stop someone calling/messaging you when they are being annoying. The messages are there when you cancel the mode, hidden when it's on.

BREAKING: Trump confirmed he’s going to accept the $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from Qatar, claiming it’s not corruption because it’s done “in a very public and transparent transaction.” Open bribery is still bribery, even if you tweet about it.

Our new report: local political parties are renting out office space to MPs — who claim the cost on expenses. But in most cases, they pay no tax on that income — or on rent from local businesses. We reviewed 630 sets of accounts. What we found is a systemic failure. 🧵

Child mortality rates have plummeted in the last 30 years in low-income countries, such as Ethiopia, Gambia, and Afghanistan. And in most rich countries, too, child mortality has more than halved — progress that we rarely hear about.
Line chart showing the change in the child mortality rate from 1991 to 2023 for Ethiopia, Gambia, Afghanistan, the European Union (27), Japan, and high-income countries as a group. The child mortality rate has more than halved in all of these regions.

70% of wheelchair users said pavement parking was a regular problem, forcing them into the road. London can ban pavement parking; why can't the rest of the country? There seems to be widespread support for it; for example, 78% of Daily Express readers back a ban. Let's do it.
