Just decided to flick onto gb news, haven't watched it for maybe 2 years.
They seem to have evolved into an even worse kind of vile.
Smelly talking headed men who are misogynistic, homophobic, and basically, vile. Sky and BBC are actually far superior as is ITV and Peston just.

👀Is Rishi Sunak trying to avoid public scrutiny?
He just switched his new company “The office of Akshata Murty and Rishi Sunak” from a limited company to an “unlimited” company.
This means he no longer has to make his company accounts public 👀⤵️

Starmer's meeting with Xi Jinping at the G20, is an effort to diversify it's economy and strengthen bilateral relations. the UK's objective is to have trade ties with major global economies, as in the context of potential shifts in US trade policies under Trump, who has proposed tariffs on imports

The U.S. has trade and drug tensions. China banned synthetic opioids in 2019, pushing Mexican cartels to source fentanyl precursors from China, producing it in Mexico, and shipping it to the U.S. Proposed tariffs on Mexico could hurt U.S. automakers despite the USMCA trade pact.

In the '80s, I was in a pub with a jukebox playing 45s. Between great tracks, someone queued 3.5 minutes of a guy talking over a drumbeat—odd, I thought. Weeks later, more tracks appeared: guys rambling, often narcissistic or sexist, over basic beats. It was rap—my unexpected introduction to it.

Alex Burghart at #PMQs: "What is the government doing to bring down inflation?"
Angela Rayner: "Many people might not know but [Burghart] was the minister for growth under Liz Truss when inflation was 11.1% and growth flatlined. So we're doing much better than he did!"

Australian-style ban on social media for under-16s is “on the table” if tech companies don't take action to protect kids.
Tech sec Peter Kyle tells Ofcom to be more assertive with firms ahead of new legal powers coming into force in 2025.
He suggests UK could “another level of regulation” if not.

Will Elon Musk's mission to remove waste from US government spending include space rockets and the amount it gives to private companies for them?
Or will that somehow be miraculously ring-fenced?
(SpaceX signed contracts for $733m just last month).

A lot of talk again today about the need for economic growth but no mention that the OBR report the government is quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts
In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report
