Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3:

We placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it, and found an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books.

A few days ago Morocco sent a cargo of gasoline to Russia, where it's in desperately short supply as a result of Ukrainian attacks. A few days later, Morocco mounts a disinformation campaign that leads to tens of thousands crossing into Spanish territory. 🤔

Ceuta - the Moscow Connection
Much remains unclear, but Russia's improving relations with Morocco and a recent energy deal offers a partial explanation of recent events

No other country in the world created a VIP lane.
Our public services had been deliberately run down, there was no plan in place. Johnson failed in his job, his government ministers, failed.
In a moment of crisis many offered help but some thought, ‘How do I make money out of this?’.

Memo to pretty much (but obviously not quite) everybody in the media…
Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales.
Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37.
They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.
