That bigger context gets far too little attention in Britain. It's inevitably going to be a bumpy road with lots of mistakes, but I am ashamed that my country turned its back on the EU and on this bold experiment. We should be with you. We are better together.

... and a reminder than social media can be corrosive at any age; we shouldn't just focus on children.

*some* boomers. We're not all the same you know.

It may not be illegal, but it's certainly underhand and designed to mislead.

You were unlucky; my experience yesterday was very different. I had to queue for maybe three minutes to see the French border guy at Marseille Airport, then he took 40 seconds at most to let me through. And we were through the e-gates at lunchtime in Heathrow straightaway, with no queue.

@libdemjon.bsky.social - interesting!

Wonderful news, for Hungary, for Europe, for Ukraine - and for democracy.

A great model indeed. It was very telling that so many wanted their logos on display!

The technology is moving fast, so expect better answers still by the time you need to recycle: www.pv-magazine-india.com/2026/01/06/n...

It's not ancient history at all, is it? Thank you for your persistence.

Also, we had Johnson as Prime Minister.

Well done that interviewer.

57% of vapers are more likely to buy vapes from a store if they provide recycling drop-off points.

"It should be as easy to recycle a vape as it is to buy one. We want more vapers demanding that the places where they buy them also provide recycling points".

Well said, indeed, Jewish News.

One of those Senators was Al Gore, who is busy enough now making the case for action.

I thought it was a poor article by the Times, reporting what Restore Trust said but not critiquing it, and quoting Zewditu Gebreyohanes without saying that she is a former Director of Restore Trust.
