We asked Warwickshire Police for the name of this driver, who was convicted in court after he drove drunk on the M6 then lied to police. They told us they only name such convicts in more 'serious' cases. coventrytelegraph.net/news/c…

Drunk driver caught 'swerving' on M6 said he was responding to an 'emergency'

He was caught on camera weaving in and out of lanes and braking erratically while sometimes doing only 30mph in a 70mph limit

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
