@peytonnamberr @MadameTussauds @LandO Different spelling in this one!

@lindarmckee @MadameTussauds @LandO That makes sense, never knew that!

From the track to our studio 🏁 Here’s a sneak peek of @Lando 's sitting for his very first Madame Tussauds figure, coming this summer... 👀 #MadameTussauds

@peytonnamberr @MadameTussauds @LandO I thought that as well - but I think I heard that he is dyslexic.

@MadameTussauds @LandO Wait… is that really how the English spell literally?😳😂

@williamssupport @WilliamsF1 @JV_F1 Don’t let Carlos hear you say that … he trains with the elite cyclists

@WilliamsF1 @JV_F1 I always worry when I see F1 drivers on push bikes.

Alex and George hit the track early... but on a stolen bike? 😅🚴 Any thoughts, @JV_F1? 👀

BREAKING: Qatar’s Ministry of Interior announced that authorities are evacuating residents near the US Embassy in Doha as a temporary precaution. Al Jazeera’s Aksel Zaimovic reports.

@historyinmemes She was ensuring she didn’t offend by showing her feet hence she sat with her feet sideways.

Princess Kate attempted to sit cross-legged, but found she couldn’t.

@little_pengelly @UnionistCentri1 So hope the establishment has recommended him for a New Years Honours.

Amazing! Well done Rory after an incredible achievement this year - well deserved!

@Son_DeeRRF @Shayan86 meeting in a room with a bed seemed very strange to me

@Shayan86 Serious question- are there any telltale signs with the image? My red flag was no way these billionaires would be in a cheap tiny room with a microwave. And I don’t think Elon smokes cigars like that. But I couldn’t find any flaws besides maybe the oddly places closet

This viral image of senior tech executives like Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Pichai and Cook in a room is obviously AI-generared. But it tricked many when it was initially posted, and shows how rapidly generative AI is advancing. We must learn AI verification now, tomorrow is late!

@jas5ch Illegible letters on the TV screen, Musk’s odd reflection in the mirror and Huang’s folded hands are a few. Also, I have posted entire threads on this platform helping people with content verification, like this one x.com/Shayan86/statu…

Snow scenes from the Sperrins today. Beautiful with sunlit snow, crisp blue skies and drifting snow curtains. Footage available to license in 4K #sperrins #snow

Fantastic scenes this afternoon near Moneymore. Big snow curtains with great structure, this one produced thundersnow further north. I was surprised today by how good all these looked.

Towards the end, Laming, Bichard and Jay were mentioned alongside IICSA and the more recent Jay report. However, these two reports diverge significantly. Without understanding this difference and its contemporary impact on faith-based safeguarding within the Church of England, such references add little to the already confusing public commentary.

Listening to @BBCTalkback @bbcradioulster is extremely disturbing and plenty of food for thought regarding what must be an independent safeguarding review. The problem with so much in NI is that the systems are too incestuous. Section 12 is not the way; we are well beyond that. The question is why people who knew didn’t go public on this before now?

@cahillbooks @williamcrawley Agreed. But some people need help and time to do that. L.

@lindarmckee @williamcrawley There is no alternative to reporting a child safeguarding issue. If it is suspected that a child or vulnerable person is at risk, then it should be reported to police.

PCI Safeguarding: This is the statement sent to ministers to be read to Presbyterian congregations this morning:

@cahillbooks @williamcrawley Nor should it be to William. Victim Support is another alternative to the Police or the Church.

@williamcrawley When will churches learn that the first port of call for reporting a concern should be the police, and not them first?
