On Brentford High Street after it was placed on a ‘hit list’ by far right thugs. Dozens of businesses closing early but one young owner of a Kebab shop said he won’t be cowed by threats. His family set up the shop 30 yrs ago and he said he’s proud to be British. He’s staying open

A valuable lesson in journalism: If you don’t know the full truth, sometimes it’s best to keep your mouth shut. This Sky News man is one of dozens of journalists who let their dislike of The Sun skew their reality and really embarrass themselves over the Huw Edwards story
@metpoliceuk
There are now some fairly big questions for the Sun. On two counts. They fairly clearly alleged that Huw Edwards had committed a criminal offence, without the evidence to prove it.
They then doubled down and encouraged a media frenzy on a man who is now clearly broken.

Like every year since 2020, US politicians beat the market.
And many in Congress made unusually timed trades resulting in huge gains.
