UK government drops healthy eating push after lobbying by ultra-processed food firms
Exclusive: Guardian investigation reveals guidance for retailers in England changed after campaign by global food firms
Government legal guidance urging retailers in England to offer millions of consumers deals and discounts on minimally processed and nutritious food has been dropped after a lobbying campaign by the world’s biggest ultra-processed food firms, the Guardian can reveal.

Not good. Also not good that it’s reported as news but in fact the key decisions were made by the last government as the story itself makes clear.

I was going to get the train today. But I am increasingly concerned at the deficit I’m running with Great Northern Rail. I buy a lot from them and they purchase nothing from me.
Tempted to apply a 20% tariff. Sure my tickets will cost 20% more but it might mean I buy fewer and reduce the deficit.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

Mark Carney (with a lot of help from Donald Trump) has secured one of the greatest comebacks in electoral history. Liberals are up seats but so are the Conservatives. NDP rout. Libs likely a minority and will have to work with others.
