This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.

Cartoon by Stephen Collins for the Guardian, here's the script:

[SCENE: THERE ARE TWO TALKING COCKROACHES, THEY ARE BBC BREAKFAST PRESENTERS]
DAVE COCKROACH: Good morning!

It’s Wednesday May, 76,000,002,018  AD 
You’re watching BBC Breakfast with me, Dave Cockroach
SELINA COCKROACH: And me, Selina Cockroach

DAVE COCKROACH:  Well, today is set to be the hottest day ever recorded in Britain, as the sun swallows the Earth

SELINA COCKROACH: What a scorcher!

DAVE COCKROACH:   Here to tell us More is Matt who’s down in sunny Brighton. Hi Matt!

MATT COCKROACH [REPORTING FROM WHAT REMAINS OF BRIGHTON]:   Morning Dave! Well, the sea is long since evaporated down here…

But that hasn’t stopped every cockroach coming out to enjoy the glorious blood-red sun hovering ten feet above the ground.

Great news for Ian Cockroach here, who sells ice creams

How’s business Ian?

IAN COCKROACH. LEANING OUT OF AN ICE CREAM VAN: I’m on fire

[IAN COCKROACH CATCHES FIRE]

DAVE COCKROACH:  Ha ha! Oh dear I think Ian is -

People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies Marriages and families are falling apart as people are sucked into fantasy worlds of spiritual prophecy by AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT

This is fantastic work by @milesklee.bsky.social documenting the way ChatGPT can cause users’ mental health to deteriorate quickly into catastrophic delusions. This technology never should have been released to the public and that was obvious from day 1

But wasn’t the maintenance loan part means tested? They’ll need the full loans for tuition but we have to pay towards the maintenance loan

Eldest’s school (where I’m a trustee) has over half the kids going on to very well paid degree apprenticeships, mainly in engineering, as the financial impact is so different. But I don’t want the decision on next steps to be about money

Did you find it affecting where you were encouraging them to go? I want to keep all options on the table but the difference in living costs around the country are vast

I’ve told them that if child 1 takes a gap year, child 2 will have to too as can’t afford more than one there at once. I feel so stupid that I didn’t know about this

Oh I didn’t know this Dave. Child 1 is looking at this route, which I thought would end up much more expensive. Thanks

I was so naive. I thought student loans covered the lot. Only found this out last year. Just relieved I have 3yr+ gaps between the kids as couldn’t have more than one at Uni at once

I thought we had freedom after this but I just hadn’t clocked the means tested bursary bit of universities so if all three go we’re back to over Β£75k spread over ten years 😬

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
