god this is properly mortifying stuff from Zarah there, GCSE-level analysis, quite hard to watch

A uniformed police officer stands beside a silver car. A person in a brown hat, black coat and vest stands with an umbrella.

After the Louvre jewelry heist on Sunday, a photo distributed by The Associated Press showing three policemen outside the museum — and a sharply-dressed man — confused many people on social media. Who is the dapper man? Is he even real? nyti.ms/42TI9RE

Honestly think Alan Carr is playing a blinder on Traitors. At the heart of every funny moment.

He’s been a mainstay on TV for years but can see his career getting even higher, maybe one of the BBC’s biggest stars.

“At a time when we are surrounded by fakes and fabrications, Sora seems precisely designed to further erode the idea of objective truth. It is a jackhammer that demolishes the barrier between the real and the unreal,” Bobbie Johnson writes.

The subtitles on makes it even better #CelebrityTraitors

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Just a reminder that Clare Balding presented all of the Olympics and Paralympics #CelebrityTraitors

Alan Carr is such a TOP TIER mess of a choice and I am here for it #CelebrityTraitors

You’re right to assume that I definitely DON’T have a VPN and have NOT used it for recreational purposes in the UK. I hope to not stumble upon it on Dailymotion any time soon.

How does one in the UK watch it? I couldn’t find it on the BBC

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

This is absolute insanity.

Half of the boys in these schools listen to podcasts and follow influencers who now spread Neo-Nazi propaganda every single day.

Focus on that instead of this, which does nothing to stop Jew hatred and only inflames it.

JOINT STATEMENT ON GAZA FROM AFP, AP, BBC NEWS AND REUTERS “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. “Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them. “We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.”

BBC NEWS / AFP / BBC NEWS / REUTERS JOINT STATEMENT:

“We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families.

"They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. "

"We, the signatories listed below, come together with a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now. "The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. The Israeli government's aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity. We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid. The Israeli Government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law. "The hostages cruelly held captive by Hamas since 7 October 2023 continue to suffer terribly. We condemn their continued detention and call for their immediate and unconditional release. A negotiated ceasefire offers the best hope of bringing them home and ending the agony of their families.

"We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and to urgently enable the UN and humanitarian NGOs to do their life saving work safely and effectively. "We call on all parties to protect civilians and uphold the obligations of international humanitarian law. Proposals to remove the Palestinian population into a "humanitarian city" are completely unacceptable. Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law. "We strongly oppose any steps towards territorial or demographic change in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The E1 settlement plan announced by Israel's Civil Administration, if implemented, would divide a Palestinian state in two, marking a flagrant breach of international law and critically undermine the two-state solution. Meanwhile, settlement building across the West Bank including East Jerusalem has accelerated while settler violence against Palestinians has soared. This must stop.

"We urge the parties and the international community to unite in a common effort to bring this terrible conflict to an end, through an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire. Further bloodshed serves no purpose. We reaffirm our complete support to the efforts of the US, Qatar and Egypt to achieve this. "We are prepared to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political pathway to security and peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region.

A new statement on the war in Gaza from the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.

I’d worked this out by that age too.
It’s why I don’t buy conspiracy theories. Nobody is that good.

In Praise of Kim Leadbeater The Labour MP has provided a vision of what politics can be: practical, empathetic, consensual and rational.

The person we have to thank is Kim Leadbeater: an astonishingly accomplished MP. She is proof that political change is possible, if you set your heart on it and put your mind to it. iandunt.substack.com/p/in-praise-...

Wonderful to see @abeewords.bsky.social ‘s Displeasure Island on prominent display at The White Horse Bookshop on Marlborough High Street — right at home!

Everyone involved in this deserves the highest possible commendation. It looks mind-meltingly beautiful.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

Full list of the leaders attending the "Securing Our Future Summit" in London today:

BREAKING: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has signed a £2.26 billion loan agreement with Ukraine to strengthen its defence capabilities, to be repaid using profits from frozen Russian assets 👏

Proud to be British this evening.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Honestly while I respect and admire Gaga's ability overall, the Weird Gaga will always be the best Gaga and I'm so glad she's back
