That’s hardly a correction. It just says we were wrong, it doesn’t provide the truth.

I have long wondered where a law that corrections have to be the same length and prominence as the offending article would improve the quality of journalism

Seems remiss not to mention the below, given your article is adding to the “London isn’t safe” narrative, when the main gang responsible has just been taken off the streets.

I really don’t know how a British-Palestinian like @laylamoran.bsky.social, someone so close to and personally affected by everything that happened, finds those reserves of empathy, while people with much less skin in the game take it upon themselves to strike the most strident pose.

As so often, @laylamoran.bsky.social finds gracious, unifying words.

"I choose to believe that peace is possible. Everyone who went on a protest, wrote to their MP, cares about it, shouted at their TV - from whatever point of view - what were those deaths for, if not for a sustainable peace?" ~AA

I’ve just done DSARs to get all my data from most platforms before closing accounts.

I suspect (and hope) more people will ‘declutter’ there social media accounts over coming years.

That doesn’t mean we’ll al go back to newspapers though!

Wow Starmer finally drawing a line!

"If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

This chart is an interesting one, could have been presented with 65+ first and 18-24 last as this would show progression over time. With more recent on taught on the right

When it comes to flags, there is nothing patriotic about putting flags up that will end up torn and tattered in a months time.

The disrespect these people are showing to our national flags demonstrates their fake performative nonsense for what it really is: hijacking a shared symbol to spread fear.

How ambitious is the Government’s newly announced affordable homes programme?

It is significantly bigger than recent funding packages, and almost as big (in annual terms) as the programme announced by the last Labour government ⤵️

In normal times, the drop in UK exports since the pandemic and Brexit — and how they’ve been holding back GDP growth — would have been a major economic story.

Finally. The great British public has been crying out for someone to fix non-existent problems. Politicians dealing with real problems is so boring, especially when they bring the "experts" in. Now we can have more fiction and drama, which is more fun, right? 😉

Not as haunting as a former colleague who had the full numbers but forgot to put the ticket on that week and missed out on jackpot.

His retelling of the story in a strong Wolverhampton accent made it feel even more tragic…

Someone mentioned Singapore’s tax system this weekend as much simpler and fully tapered with tax calculated based on the exact amount earned, preventing the spikes we see in your charts for parents and removal of personal allowance, is this characterisation accuracy and could this work in the U.K.?
