@NeilDotObrien I don't understand why private schools have a VAT. Surely education is a "good" and thus should not be subject to VAT?

🚨News: Politicians have just voted away your online privacy & freedoms
Social media will be restricted for under-16s, the Government confirms.
This means that every one of us in the UK could soon need to submit to intrusive digital ID checks to access the internet fully.
This is a huge step back for free expression in Britain.
Worse still, the Government wants to impose this ban while an active consultation is still in progress.
Around the world, similar restrictions have failed to keep children safe. It is clear - a social media ban is not about children's wellbeing but a trojan horse for more surveillance and censorship.

@littleapostate At least you noticed it and acted quickly — good on you for that.
Many "parents" parade their child on camera for the world to see just to chase money. And this results in devastating consequences for the child. It's disgusting.

Children smashing up shops in broad daylight, stealing and even filming themselves doing it as if it were a game, is a much bigger problem than is being recognised. This is a total collapse of consequences.
To those making snide comments about race or black kids - you do not see scenes like this in Lagos or Nairobi. Not because the children there are different, but because actions have consequences. There are clear boundaries. Parents, communities, and the authorities do not wring their hands or look the other way.
Here, we have created a culture where too many young people believe they can do what they like and nothing will happen. That is the problem.
And we should be honest about where that leads. If a child loots a shop today, films it for social media, and faces no real consequence, they are going to do much worse tomorrow.
This is why under my leadership Conservatives are focusing on ENFORCEMENT, not just making more and more rules.
Our Take Back Our Streets Campaign is about getting 10,000 more police officers, immediate justice and immediate punishment. But let’s be honest, this is not just a policing issue. It is a failure of authority at every level.
Parents need to know where their children are and what they are doing. Discipline should start at home, not in a courtroom.
We have also weakened the system around them. Deterrence is the backbone of criminal justice. Labour have changed the law so anyone receiving a sentence under 12 months will automatically walk free, instead receiving a suspended sentence. When people believe offences like this will not lead to meaningful punishment, we should not be surprised when more of it happens. You get more of what you tolerate.
It’s not like we haven’t been here before. In 2011, when riots spread, the Conservative response was swift and visible. People saw consequences. And behaviour rapidly changed. That is what is missing now.
This all comes down to fairness. Law-abiding people should not feel like fools while gangs smash and grab without consequence. The sad truth is the communities most damaged by this behaviour are often the very ones these young people come from.
Only one approach will fix this: clear rules, real consequences, and the confidence to enforce them.
It’s time to Take Back Our Streets and bring back a culture of enforcement.

Personally, I would have required they all were arrested and their parents/carers come to collect them from police custody. Contrary to comments and narratives being pushed by some, this is not a policing problem, but rather an insight into what the future may hold. Young children during school half-term, decide to storm a store and cause absolute carnage, steal from the business in numbers and cause significant alarm to other members of the public while filming their criminal activity for content. Where does this sort of behaviour graduate to? What is the logical next step from this? How many of the parents of these children will know what they have been doing?

It is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite His Majesty King Charles III, The King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to address a Joint Meeting of Congress.
Our two nations share one of the most consequential partnerships in history, and together we will mark the historic milestone of America’s 250th year of independence.

The Online Safety Act is concerned with protecting people in the UK. It doesn't require platforms to restrict what people in other countries see.

The @FBI has identified cyber actors associated with Russian Intelligence Services targeting users of commercial messaging applications, including Signal.
The campaign targets individuals of high intelligence value, including current and former U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists.
Globally, this effort has resulted in unauthorized access to thousands of individual accounts. After gaining access, the actors can view messages and contact lists, send messages as the victim, and conduct additional phishing from a trusted identity.
It's important for you to be aware and take action - this vulnerability is not with the application - but you as the end user.
The FBI and CISA have released a joint PSA to help you identify this activity and protect your accounts: ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA26…

@timeades @IndyAsapScot The products that electronic retailers sell are tightly regulated and manufactured to a high quality such that they are less likely to react and burn.
We don't know what kind of crap vape stores sell...
English
@IndyAsapScot Same could be said of Argos, Curry’s or any other electrical retailer that sells laptops, phones, e-bikes in fact anything that has rechargeable batteries. Are you proposing that all retails that carry that sort of product be closed?
English
Vape shops must all be full of solvent plus lithium batteries. These cannot be extinguished when they start to react. Especially as they burn explosively together.
They should from this minute be closed, emptied and DEFINITELY NOT be housed in tenement, residential or old buildings.
Like from this minute. They are a threat to life & our heritage.

The banned episode of ‘The Powerpuff Girls’, “See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey” is now available to stream on Tubi.
It was banned from US airings allegedly due to religious symbolism and strobing lights. It was first made available to watch on the 2009 complete series DVD set.
