This piece to camera went so far off the rails so quickly. Filming in Niddrie on bonfire night… cameo by Police Scotland’s finest.

We got your back, New York!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

I want this stuff banned. Not regulated, not reformed. These machines banned from the internet and devices and companies banned from developing them.

I agree with the angry replies. It’s true that it’s terrible more and more workers are earning at or near the minimum wage. But the problem is that lots of workers need a big pay rise after a long period of stagnating real wages, not that the lowest paid are earning too much.
If you're complaining about the minimum wage increasing, you should remember that the value of the pound has fallen by a third this decade. And that doesn't account for disproportionate increases in the cost of essential goods like food, energy and housing.

I don’t really celebrate Halloween but out of respect for other cultures I always leave out a little dish of snakebite & black and some lines of speed in case my goth friends come past

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

open the fucking schools, seriously
These two passages depict the same subject matter in an identical style. One is from Fifty Shades of Grey. The other is from Sally Rooney’s Normal People. I bet you can't even tell which is which. If we have the sensibility to dismiss one as a trashy romance novel, then why do we continue to celebrate the other as serious literature?

what an absolute waste of a&e resources
Hello @Deliveroo. Please stop encouraging your delivery partners to staple their bags for food. It is dangerous. I have just cut myself, and now I am in A and E as I am scared of sepsis.
