answer: “it was a slip”

The haemorrhage of Reform councillors. This is democratic farce dressed up as electoral success!

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days.

Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known.

The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system.

The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma.

Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness.

The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

Makerfield By-Election Update:
https://t.co/1qzdOOW1SO

Survation conducted a new poll of the Makerfield constituency. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone among 518 adults in the constituency between 26th May and 1st June 2026. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Methodology Statement
Population Sampled: All residents aged 18+ living in the Makerfield parliamentary constituency.

Total Sample Size: 518

Data Collection Method: Telephone interview. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Fieldwork Dates: 26th May – 1st June 2026

Data Weighting: Data were weighted to the profile of all adults in Makerfield constituency aged 18+. Data were weighted by age, sex, ward and 2024 General Election vote.

Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office for National Statistics data and the results of the 2024 UK General Election.

Margin of Error: Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to a margin of error. For example, in a question where 50% gave a particular answer, with a sample of 518 it is 95% certain that the “true” value would fall within 4.8 percentage points of the sample result.

Headline by-election voting intention - Table V2 (likelihood-weighted, undecided/refused removed, no squeeze):

Candidate / Party / Vote share

Andy Burnham - Labour 49%
Robert Kenyon - Reform UK 39%
Rebecca Shepherd - Restore Britain 8%
Sarah Wakefield - Green Party 2%
Jake Austin - Liberal Democrat 1%
Michael Winstanley - Conservative 1%
Another party <1%

Base: likely voters, factored by likelihood to vote, with undecided and refused voters removed

On this day in 1940, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered one of the most famous speeches in history to the House of Commons in the wake of the Allied evacuation from Dunkirk.

"We Shall Fight on the Beaches!" he exclaimed as he rallied the nation with his courageous tone, acknowledging the grim situation but emphasizing resolve and the growing strength of the Britain.

This was @Nigel_Farage's response to the murder of Sarah Everard.

To say "Stop the demonisation of men".

Newly Elected Reform UK Trafford Councillor Billy Burke has been arrested and charged with possessing an offensive or dangerous weapon.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Nigel Farage and Reform have said they will repeal the Equality Act - a key piece of legislation that prevents against discrimination in Britain.

It protects citizens from discrimination based on a whole range of characteristics including age, race, and religion - it applies to the workplace, education and public services. Repealing the Equalities Act would effectively legalise discrimination against a worker if they are a woman, disabled, black, pregnant or gay

[The News Agents @TheNewsAgents]

“We’ve got to be so careful not to play into narrative of people like Nigel Farage. The Nazis were brilliant at picking up what the Social Democrats said and did, and twisting it", says @LordBlunkett

“My great worry is that the Green Party are God’s gift to Reform."

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

Calling Musk out is overdue and I strongly welcome the PM’s intervention.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Its a shocking indictment of UK media that people don’t understand what Farage’s policies will inflict on the country - if they did support would quickly melt away

🇺🇸 THE UNITED STATES HAS UNBLOCKED $400 MILLION IN MILITARY AID FOR UKRAINE — THE PENTAGON HAD BEEN HOLDING THE FUNDS FOR MONTHS!

The Pentagon has released a $400 million military aid package for Ukraine.

The funds, approved by Congress last year, will be used to purchase new weapons and equipment from American companies. Priority items include ammunition, anti-tank systems, air defense equipment, drones, and other frontline supplies.

Will these systems arrive in time to make a difference on the battlefield, or will the process be delayed once again?

Путин очень боится это признать

Путин готов довести россию до развала, лишь бы не заканчивать войну которую уже проиграл

У Путина цугцванг, где каждый его шаг , ведёт только к ухудшению ситуации .

Putin said to all missions ‘leave Kyiv’.

Instead, all 32 NATO Ambassadors and the Secretary General visit Ukraine.

Our message is crystal clear: NATO’s support for Ukraine is unshaken

I can’t help thinking that this is currently Nigel Farage’s ‘Nick Griffin on Question Time’ moment.
His incitement of disorder (again) will hang round him like the smell of death for the rest of his political career.
He’s shown the country who he is. More people saw it this time

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Ukrainian forces not only blockading Russia's military and logistics from Crimea and the southern corridor, but now beginning to do the same in Donetsk, preventing supplies entering from the east.

This is brilliant.
