Lawmaker Baroness Davies seems worringly unsure about the law

GB News is the most trusted news channel among its existing viewers, not the general public…or ‘the UK’. Smaller, niche channels with highly dedicated audiences usually score higher on this specific metric than broader public service broadcasters who try to appeal to everyone

NEW: The legendary @TinaBrownLM confirms Meghan Markle "has a job", landing an acting role... tinabrown.substack.com/p/meg…

If this is true… I’m afraid it does feel like a concerted effort to kill BBC Local Radio where many of us started our careers @BBCNorthampton

Either the host of GB News’s flagship show has less experience than a journalism student. Or he just needs clicks?

More heartache for Ben Needham’s family as his grandfather died yesterday- the day before the 35th anniversary of Ben’s disappearance. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/be…

Major incident at Westminster Bridge involving a boat. Unconfirmed reports that a Met Police boat involved with armed officers. - At least 13 ambulances on the scene as well as helicopter - Wounded being stretched away from the scene outside parliament

A good example of misinformation shared online for clicks (in this case being propagated by a Durham county councillor). The photo on the left was originally pixilated, but AI has been used to inaccurately guess at the face underneath it

Awaiting the first court appearance of the man accused of murdering Ann Widdecombe. Expecting Joshua Kerry to appear in the dock of Westminster Magistrates’ court one in the next 30-60 minutes.

The mother of Henry Nowak's killer has been jailed for three years for removing the blade used to murder the 18-year-old from the crime scene. Vickrum Digwa is serving a minimum of 21 years for stabbing Henry to death in December last year. On Friday, Digwa's mum, Kiran Kaur, 53, was jailed for assisting her son during a killing that prompted national outrage after it emerged Digwa had claimed he was the victim and had been racially abused. Henry was handcuffed and arrested as he lay dying leading to suggestions of "two-tier" policing. “You took the knife and put it at home with other weapons in your son's bedroom,” Judge William Mousely KC said, adding her actions had "helped to conceal what it had been used for". A reasonable person, he said, would have asked their child to "do the right thing".

The usually responsive @Ryanair social media team- often keen to ridicule its own paying customers- unusually quiet today

Quite remarkable - interview with Ann Widdecombe obtained by @TimesRadio recorded 12:10 on Weds. Police believe the attack took place at around 12:30.

BREAKING: Ann Widdecombe murder MAY have had terrorism motive, police now confirm. 28 year-old man in custody has since been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism following ‘new evidence’ coming to light, say @TerrorismPolice

BREAKING: 28-year-old man arrested in South Yorkshire area this evening on suspicion of the murder of Ann Widdecombe. The suspect, who is a white British national, is now in police custody.

Police now confirming they believe the attack was consistent with this timeline, happening at around 1230pm on Wednesday. It would be 24 hours- despite Channel 5 flagging concerns for her welfare- before her body was found

How is every detail worse than the last

Nobody does a TV obituary like @DavidSillitoBBC. Pure class
