A president who threatens allies is not a partner, he is a risk. Tariffs batter supply chains, wages and investment, and Trump will aim them at any democracy that resists. Britain should deepen European cooperation, not bet on Washington’s mood swings.

Have tried different phones, and it's now wrong on each.

The bar of bra adds is ridiculous.

I used to recommend the Met Office app, can't recommend it anymore.

Please go back to the old app.

The new app isn't as good as the old one, too much scrolling, the new map is nearly covered by time bar, some of it mph others in km, and cannot find a way of changing.

Location is out, say I live in a different town, old app was always accurate.

In Animal Crossing New Horizons how do you get back to being a normal colour, after being pranked at Halloween?

Or do you just have to wait?

As it is nearly a month now.

Freedom Pass row: Is it a fair perk or an expensive policy? The Freedom Pass allows residents over 66 to travel across the capital for free.

This sort of thing pings me off, the 60 plus pass isn't free travel, it is subsidized, as one has to pay, a very reduced cost every year, I admit. This is different to free.

World Club Challenge returns with Hull KR v Brisbane Broncos inΒ 2026 The World Club Challenge will return to being played when Super League champions Hull KR host NRL title holders Brisbane Broncos on 19 February next year. The match did not take place in 2025 because the Penrith Panthers could not agree a date to play Wigan Warriors. Hull KR, whose Craven Park home holds 11,000 fans, have said the game against the Broncos will take place at Hull FC's 25,000-capacity MKM Stadium to "allow as many fans be there to see it unfold live".

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.

New leaf is the best game so far, as far as I'm concerned.

Still play it regularly, and I started my current town in 2013.

Has anyone in Animal Crossing not done the bridges, at the beginning part of the game, so you don't get more residents?

I started a new game today, came across my 3ds yesterday, and it charged up. It has been 7 years since I last used it.

If you agree that mandatory digital ID cards are a terrible idea, please ask your MP to sign my motion opposing them.

These plans risk turning us into checkpoint Britain. They must be scrapped.

Email your MP my motion: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

You should be able to have a party which says "actually these are reasonable ideas... and the only thing holding it back is people not having faith and confidence that enough other people support those ideas" πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

People now see Brexit for what it is β€” a disaster that has left Britain smaller, poorer, and weaker.

People like Robert Jenrick and Nigel Farage are increasingly looking at people who are not white and suggesting that they can't be British.

That in itself is fundamentally un-British.

screengrab of Youtube video which shows a highly realistic but AI-faked Neanderthal frozen mummy face as if it's being excavated from an ice block, with tools adjacent.. The title is "Frozen In Ice: The Neanderthal Girl Who Rewrote HIstory".

Screengrab of Youtube video titled "Neanderthals' Hidden Language? The Sumbols No One Expected". The image is an AI-rendering of  male Neanderthal inside a cave upon whose walls (and floating in the air) are neon symbols, of which is a crucifix.

🏺 Yet more #Neanderthal AI slop polluting YouTube, and one of these videos as usual claims my book is a source (in other words scraped, presumably from pirate copying).
This stuff is so deeply unethical, exploitative of authors AND viewers (who even subscribes to such channels?!).

If I could bring something back, I'd start off with something we have just made extinct.

But if I had the money, I would put it into saving the species we still have.

Rising Christian nationalism: a thread to us all.

As we’ve all seen in recent days, a growing, well-funded US-style Christian nationalism is taking root in the UK – threatening the hard-won freedoms we all share and must protect. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

The UN has confirmed what we already knew: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

Only last week our government were denying this reality and continue to sell arms to Netanyahu's genocidal regime.

They must wake up and act now to end the genocide.
