Sadly, obituary of my much loved wife, Sue Barker, a wonderful woman ⁦@socialworksusie⁩ theguardian.com/society/2025…

Took my Dad to see Brassed Off shortly before he died. He was from South Yorkshire and had played in brass, and silver, bands. He loved it! theguardian.com/film/2026/oc…

This Labour government is restoring vital Sure Start health services to every family hub across the country. Because every child deserves the Best Start in Life.

Vets deserve better support but given Reform are a ‘small state’ party not sure they will get it under them.

I've had a few odd these clever phishing emails recently. This one is asking about a job, but previous ones were about paid research calls (a few hundred dollars for a 1-hour call to tell someone what you know about a particular piece of software or a particular market). There is no link in the email, and they use real people's names and pictures, and convincing sounding domain names (in this case 'growwithadobe dot com'). But if you answer them, after a while of back and forth, they send you a calendar link service to pick a suitable time. You go through that, and when you submit it, it wants you to log in with Google or Facebook (as many sites do). But when you click the login link it gives you a session expired type screen, and asks you to re-enter your Google/Facebook password. Again, that happens sometimes, but in this case they've swapped you out to a fake site, where they steal your details, I'd guess here they're targeting people their systems believe would have access to Google or Meta ad accounts, in the hopes they catch someone with no 2 factor authentication, so they can spend your budget fraudulently. Either way, it is quite a clever trick. In the olden days, phishing emails would usually include a link from the start. Now they don't need to as even simple AI tools can go back and forth on these kind of topics as if they're real people, until they send a link over a couple of emails into a real-sounding conversation. I thought worth sharing in case it helps someone avoid getting caught out.

Really, did the 92 year old amputee in a wheelchair with a kitchen knife in a care home need tasering? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6n9…

Hopefully the welfare of the children involved will be the paramount concern. Children placed a long way away from home are at particular risk of abuse - see North Wales some years ago.

Anyone else think this is inappropriate from @LucyMPowell , illustrates a total lack of class. No doubt her Man Utd supporting constituents will remember it at the next election.

This looks like a lovely job for someone, and particularly worth sharing on in this age of apparently vanishing grad jobs. £30-40k, 25 days holiday, pension, 'freedom to work where you want'.

Tyler Brozek & Katelyn Breunig, all smiles after they killed this giraffe in South Africa. A hunt Brozek will never forget. Both scumbags. 🤬 #BanTrophyHunting RT @SARA2001NOOR @Angelux1111 @Gail7175 @Lin11W @Protect_Wldlife @PhaedraXTeddy

Check the facts mate then apologise.

There wasn't a social care crisis when local authorities provided the service free of charge. Then Thatcher privatised it and private equity bosses started charging £8000 a month.

Soon be October, silence on here since 19/8 from @Port_of_Tyne about progress in repairing damage to North Pier at Tynemouth?

‘Banged up because they don’t vote Labour’ bit of a stretch

You invited ten people to this 'roundtable' @oliviabaileymp Seven of the ten are men (three of whom are pretending to be women). That's 70% male. In what way is that balanced? Only three of the group are women. At least 30% of the group identify as "trans". In what universe do people who identify as trans constitute 30% of the population? If you want to tackle issues fairly, make sure you have an equal number of ACTUAL WOMEN in the room.

As I said, Reform have demonstrated in the last 24 hours why they are unfit for government. You simply cannot generate false speculation about such a serious ongoing incident with such major implications for British national security.
