Videos that appear to show doctors, including some from Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, using patches to lose significant amounts of weight aren’t real. They were made with AI.

The trust said these videos are “completely fraudulent”.

If it were anybody else, this letter would have triggered a raid on their home and a seizure of all their electronics.
If it was anybody else, the discovery of a letter from one convicted paedophile to another convicted paedophile, saying, "Hey, remember that friend of ours who we watched definitely being a paedophile," would result in an immediate arrest.

Your move, America.

A Yorkshire accent was rated highest. A Brummie accent was rated lower than staying silent.

This guy is Reform’s new councillor for Stretton in Staffordshire. This is what you get with that party - all they’re interested in is making libs cry. They’re too weak and pathetic to do the hard yards.

Imagine what a Reform government would be like.

BBC radio news bulletins this morning wrongly claimed Britain is estimated to consume 117 million tonnes of cocaine each year.

That’s quite a long way out. The most recent official estimate for England, Scotland and Wales is actually... 117 tonnes.

A point not made enough: the UK runs a trade goods deficit with the US so shouldn’t be paying any tariffs at all based on the White House formula (10% is not a “win”).

An image of masked men carrying axes that is circulating online is not a real photo of a recent incident at a Birmingham hospital.

It was made or edited using Google AI tools. Police say no “disorder” took place.
