But if it's not an immediate threat to life it shouldn't be used. Using the emergency alert to share 'national news' means it loses it significance. That usage was comparable to a notification off BBC news - it didn't share new information or share an immediate threat to life.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
This is moronic, if it's true.
How much will need to be spent to secure his home.
Downing Street isn't a vanity project. The Prime Minister needs to be immediately available for defence and security reasons. Unless he's going to move the MOD and security services to Manchester this will be a nightmare.
This performative BS is extremely tiring. It needs to stop.
10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
'We have far more in common than that which divides us.'
10 years on the message of my dear friend Jo Cox remains as important as ever.
The world is a fairer, kinder place because of her legacy.
Today marks ten years since Jo was killed.
We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

This month, we reflect on Jo’s life, work and legacy.
Ten years on, her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us remains as urgent as ever.
Stay connected as we mark Jo’s legacy.
