I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Just realised this is referring to a church in North Carolina and not the Welsh singer

Really important advice.

And if you insist on posting these things or keeping them up after you've been informed they're fake, that's going to be a quick block.

"Well, it could be true!" It's not.

"Well, you can imagine." Nope.

"Well, they do it!" Yeah, no.
Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Absolute must to click this - brilliant, world class, if only there were clickbait awards.

Syria now. At this point, Israel could bomb Cardiff and we'd still be defending its right to self-defence.

NEW: Labour's planned disability benefit cuts could affect the majority of current working-age claimants with ischaemic heart disease, inflammatory arthritis, hip and knee disorders and Crohn’s disease, according to analysis of new DWP data

By me, for the Big Issue:

A vile assembly of fascists, antisemites, and authoritarians from around the world converging in Moscow. Absolutely revolting.
Meanwhile Elon Musk’s dad is at an oligarch-hosted fascist conference in Moscow, hanging out with Alexandr Dugin and George Galloway…

I very clearly remember watching the Challenger news on Newsround. Absolutely earliest thing I definitely remember is half pennies being withdrawn which was December 1984. Possibly the Ethiopian famine earlier, but not sure if that counts as probably wasn’t via the news.
What's the first major news story you remember as a child?

Challenger for sure. After that the next one I remember vividly was the Berlin Wall. Then the invasion of Kuwait. Obviously other things happened between those but I'm talking off the top of my head.

Really curious about Ukrainian answers.

The Challenger explosion. I remember watching the footage on the little B&W TV that only came out of the closet for space shuttle launches and presidential speeches.
