Magnificent Versailles(10m visitors) is a much bigger attraction than Windsor Castle(1.5m) or Buckingham Palace(0.5m), proving you don’t need a royal family to attract tourists.
And the extensive grounds are free.

We hear a lot about integration of migrants. A small point I’ve noticed with my parents’ carers is how they offer an anglicised version of their name for our convenience. I don’t think they should have to do this but it shows how hard people try to “fit in”.

The only realistic solution is to grant temporary permission to stay for people from countries where we know most asylum applications succeed, subject to rigorous security checks. This could end the use of costly asylum hotels next year. t.co/U1YPWhAxlO

This is a 52-pound 9000+ page accordion-bound artist’s book of Donald Trump’s lies, conceived, printed, and bound by Jill and Ray Nichols of @leadgraffiti.bsky.social in Delaware. Each of the 9000 pages has the text (per the Washington Post) of one or more of Trump’s lies; none are repeated.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
