There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:
"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

MoD says agreement will support 4,000 jobs and ‘significantly strengthen Nato’s northern flank’

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the agreement to build Type 26 frigates is the UK’s biggest ever warship export deal by value, and Norway’s biggest defence procurement deal. Continue reading...

It seems that many people haven't realised the truth about Palestine Action.
And some seem happy to both mislead others to think it's all about some paint on a plane, while purposefully conflating the proscribing with a ban on legitimate protest about Gaza.
But that is not the truth...

Once again: the fact that academics have to do often the basic job of journalists (providing accurate information to the public, when it isn't even demystifying their claims) speaks volumes about the level of democratic crisis in this country (there is no democracy without a well informed public)
The Times has got some basic legal points wrong. There's no requirement for visa waived visitors (such as UK citizens) to have travel medical insurance. Nor is there a requirement to have a return ticket, just the means to buy one (or being in a position to acquire such means lawfully).
Strict rules for British tourists going to EU to come in within weeks
Passengers will be asked a series of questions to confirm they have proof of accommodation, sufficient funds for the trip, medical insurance and a return or onward ticket
