Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

The echoing bell motif of Married At First Sight is exactly the same as the "frozen in time until the next episode" bell from Knightmare, and it is very distracting.

Had an hour of me time whilst the kids and Han were at various clubs/gym. Have to say it's refreshing watching Alien:Earth whilst not being on the verge of falling asleep! #Productive

Tortoises are some of the best pets you can have. I'm often told they're pointless as you can't cuddle them but, so what? They're fascinating & easy to maintain once you've done the research. More people should be open to reptiles in general

Hey Gov Digital folk. I’m helping an agency who seek a secure hosting/support partner, UK based, for a sensitive big gov client. Would be very grateful if you’d DM with any recommendations (or warnings!) thanks x
