Tragedy in Australia: parents choose to die with their children and pets, after being abandoned by the system. It’s a sentence that hits like a boulder. One of those you read once and never forget. Because behind it is not just news, but a total human collapse. It happened in Mosman Park, a quiet, orderly neighborhood near Perth. One of those areas where the houses all look the same and pain should have no space. Yet, behind a closed door, an entire family stopped hoping. Jarrod Clune was fifty. Maiwenna Goasdoue, forty-nine. They were parents who had fought for too long, far too long. Their children, sixteen-year-old Leon and fourteen-year-old Otis, lived with severe autism that required constant, round-the-clock care. A presence that demanded everything, offering no respite. Alongside them were the family’s three pets, integral members of a tired but united household. Before dying, Jarrod and Maiwenna left a note on the door. Few words, cold and lucid: “Do not enter. Call the police.” It was not an impulsive act. It was a decision forged over time, in silence, in solitude. Inside the home, there were no signs of violence. No weapons. No struggle. Investigators found a second, detailed letter in which the couple explained everything: the planning, their reasons, even instructions for handling finances after their deaths. A composed farewell. Heartbreaking precisely because it was deliberate. As hours passed, the tragedy became clearer. Caregivers and those close to the family recounted years of rejected requests for help. The Australian disability support system (NDIS) had cut funding. The responses were always the same: the boys were “too difficult.” Too complex. Too expensive. Too much. Too much for a system that should have supported them. What the world sees today is not just a news story. It is the failure of a mechanism that left two exhausted parents with no alternatives. It is a brutal demonstration of what happens when those asking for help are ignored until they no longer have the strength to ask. Four human lives and three animals became the face of a bureaucracy that arrived too late. Or perhaps, never arrived at all. And this story is not just about Australia. It is about every place where loneliness is mistaken for resilience, and despair for weakness. Because when a system fails, it is not only rules that collapse. Families collapse. And sometimes, even hope.

30 years of loyalty. Three decades of turning up, doing her job, serving her community. Jane Pilborough saw a teenager stuffing food into his pockets and did what most people would do she stepped in. No security. No help. Just instinct. She stepped in. She ended up on the floor, injured… The thief ran off… And Morrisons sacked her. Not the shoplifter. Not the system that failed her but her. Morrisons said she put the company’s “reputation” at risk. Another Morrisons worker punished for trying to stop theft. This is how loyalty is repaid, what’s the point anymore especially when you have your whole life destroyed. What kind of message does that send to every honest worker out there?

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures. The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation. This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.

We’re investing £64m to transform Port Talbot into Wales' first floating offshore wind hub. That means 5,000 good jobs, £500m of investment and enough clean power for 6.5m homes. We are putting Wales at the heart of our clean energy superpower mission. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

If fuel companies try to rip off customers, my government will step in. @RachelReevesMP and @Ed_Miliband are bringing the bosses of the fuel companies in today, to make sure that customers aren’t losing out because of the conflict in the Middle East.

I’ve fallen out of love with Football. I’m just watching athletes perform in systems which is fucking BORING, it’s like we’ve handed the beautiful game over to Nerds and the Weak and they’ve ruined it… I miss: • Midfield Battles. • Creativity. • Dribbling. • Characters. • Physicality. • Passion. • Masculinity. I feel all the above are missing and today’s game can be summed up by Arsenal, the most boring team in PL history. Only Manchester United under Michael Carrick are trying to give us old school entertainment and save the beloved game. Apart from that I’d rather watch Netflix…

I was in Tokyo recently on a business trip. I accidentally left my brand new MacBook on a park bench in Tokyo. I realized it 3 hours later. I sprinted back, panic mode fully engaged, assuming it was gone forever. It wasn't there. I asked a nearby shopkeeper. He pointed to the bench. Someone had placed my laptop inside a plastic grocery bag and taped it to the bench so it wouldn't get wet in the drizzle. They didn't take it. They protected it. Culture is what you do when no one is watching. What do you think would happen in your country if the same thing happened?

Ed Miliband has burrowed so far down the rabbit hole of Net Zero, that he’s now lost himself in a tunnel of his own delusions. But sadly, his delusions mean that the British public will pay a heavy price.
