.@Ofcom : 1,600+ staff, but scrutinising @BBC is "way too hard." Meanwhile, @GBNEWS (already cleared) gets a second cavity search. Regulate thy enemy, excuse thy friend. 🎭📜 https://t.co/ODNQ5DUnHb

D-Day in North Devon — June 6

Wreath-laying, WWII vehicles, history walks and evening commemorations mark the area’s role in training US troops before Normandy.

Breaking News: Drowning Man Gives Speech Blaming The Water.

He says he “takes responsibility” — then spends 20 minutes explaining why none of it is his fault.

1,400 lost seats was the message. Time to step aside. 💀 #StarmerOut💀

This beautiful remastered footage was captured by an off duty policeman on 8th May 1945 after Churchill officially declared Victory in Europe. Flags are strung between terraces during the street celebrations in Gateshead. 🇬🇧 #VEDay

BREAKING Sir Keir Starmer indicates he will fight on after what appears to be diastrous local elections. The PM says that he takes responsibility for Labour’s “tough” local election results, adding: “Days like this don’t weaken my resolve to deliver the change that I promised.” More now on @GBNEWS.

Finally, a Downing Street operator who sees a problem, takes decisive action, and delivers results… all without a press briefing.

NEW Larry the Cat has just killed and eaten a mouse feet from the door of 10 Downing St during the Prime Minister’s press conference.
The mouse was killed in the courtyard of the Foreign Office, dragged across the street and consumed by Larry on the grass next to Number 10’s door. We have the film.
This is not an April Fool. It is the first time this has happened in my long hours standing outside 10 Downing Street. Here is Larry moments before the mouse killing.

National Security Advisor slips off to Beijing for "discreet chats" with the Chinese Politburo. Our government hides it while Chinese state media announces it. Orders from Beijing, secrecy at home. China isn't running Britain? Could've fooled me.

🏗️ Clearwater residents force vote on street control.

8,000+ signatures.
Months of campaigning.
Public streets — now up for decision.

Tax burden / borrowing @ record highs
£26bn in tax rises.
Departments squeezed.
Personal debt skyrocketing.
Yet billions still committed abroad.
They don’t care — it’s not their money.
Reeves calls it “discipline.”
Voters call it getting shafted.

Central London still looks the same.

But it doesn’t behave the same.
Fewer café tables. Earlier closing times. Quieter evenings.

London’s street life is shrinking — slowly, subtly.
We find overlooked London stories.

Kent again.

Diphtheria (2022)
Scabies (2022–25)
Now meningitis (2026)
Each time described as “unusual.”
Each time treated in isolation.
At what point does pattern stop being coincidence?

Public health only works when all variables are on the table. Not just comfortable ones.

$2.50 in 1905 = ~$90 today.
But the real difference isn’t inflation.
It’s this: They sold permanence.
We sell subscriptions.
Buy once vs pay forever.
That shift changed everything.

The Patch Wine Bar & Kitchen opened in November after owner Ali restored the former Patch and Parrot.

After years of closure and time spent at auction, the building has now been brought back to life.

The parrot may have fallen off the sign… but The Patch is well and truly back.

After years of closure, Bideford’s Cooper Street landmark returns — restored, reopened, and ready for a new chapter.

The North Devon Paradox: Quiet doesn’t mean cheap. Prices down slightly, supply tight, cash buyers leading. Not a fire sale — a window. https://t.co/2bE3MhkVIc

THE UK PROPERTY MARKET — MARCH 2026

Not booming. Not broken. Resetting.
Growth softer (1.1%), rates stabilising (~3–3.5%), supply still short.
