France can keep it. We have our own now. Originally requested by Neil Meaton

Whatever you think of Tommy Robinson, it shouldn't be right that the police have the power to stop someone and demand their phone PIN. In the same situation no way would I be handing mine over.

This is one of the great threads.

I feel we should say, as a tribute, that she's kicked the 💐

Some studies show a higher rate of autism in children whose mother used paracetamol when pregnant, some don't. That seems to be what we know at the moment. We can't say prenatal paracetamol use causes autism, we can't say it doesn't. Should we do more research - definitely

If you are going to talk about Autism, paracetamol/acetaminophen please read the published studies first scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e...

Every time I look at this image I get annoyed for a different reason, it’s remarkable

His final photo '10:28:24 AM' seconds before the 2nd tower came down is just astonishing #September11

I hate the snobbery implicit in this viewpoint. There's nothing wrong in the principle of asking people what they think. Having an opinion shouldn't be the preserve of think tanks or professional commentators. That said when journalists are out asking questions most people are out at work.

Here's what they could be talking about:

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

another sad case of a good kid gone bad

The bond market is in trouble across the world. Long-term government bond yields are rising everywhere from the U.S. to Japan to France to the UK. Finance is entering a new, more dangerous era. (a thread)

Bluesky is shrinking rather than growing. It has no source of revenue. If it doesn’t grow, *it will die*. Constantly making it unwelcoming, saying who you don’t want here, setting rules for what other sites people should and shouldn’t use, and the like, will kill it quicker.

uh while you were sleeping quite a lot of X has become convinced that Donald Trump is dead.

This future sucks

We can't fix climate change, we can't fix global inequality and so we get migration. And we can't fix that either so we become more intolerant and grasp for simple answers which just makes our problems worse. At some point you're going to need more food than your neighbours and a good weapon

Martin Parr - the world's most overrated photographer. Normally I wouldn't be so disrespectful to another professional but Parr has spent his career pointing at people, normally poor people, and asking us to laugh at them.

Sanity prevails: the Guardian has defended its journalism against Noel Clarke’s lawsuit. A well-deserved win for them, but their team has still lost years of their lives to stand by their story – and Clarke’s victims had to testify in court so they could do so . British libel law is *brutal*.

Companies who put salt in baby food should be banned from selling food outright

A few photos of the drought of '25 from our newswire. We're so used to seeing these images they don't have impact they would've in years past. Climate change is with us now and we're already turning a blind eye. #SWNS Photos by Katielee Arrowsmith, Tom Maddick, William Lailey and Wayne Hutchinson

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved

holy shit lmao

If the proposed changes to lower the voting age go through and this Parliament runs to its full 5-year term, then my daughter - now 12 - will become one of the youngest women ever to vote in a UK general election. Her name is Emmeline.

Question for fellow hacks. 16 year olds getting the vote - can we go talk to them about it? www.ipso.co.uk/news-analysi...

In the interest of balance, everyone who read the Observer article about The Salt Path should probably read this. www.raynorwinn.co.uk

In my years in journalism I have witnessed and sat through many distressing things But hearing a mother speak about how her 7-year-old daughter twice fought to escape from the Southport murderer, protected other children and suffered 33 stab wounds is one of the most harrowing things I can remember

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

As someone wittier than I said, at least Hannah Ingram-Moore got someone else to do the walking.

They must have left it in a warm place for an hour

The Pinch of Salt Path

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Fucking hell, this is something.

About half of my smart home products (Nest protects/thermostat) are going to stop working in a few weeks because they were @killedbygoogle.com. With no compatible alternatives available I've gotta dump the whole lot. Can't imagine buying smart devices ever again
