A post being critical of a wealth tax, it reads: This is the big gap I always find people struggle with when I question them on how their wealth tax plan would work, the fact that it would require extensive & intrusive govt scrutiny on anyone suspected of having above a certain level of wealth. Also, if that wealth is separately taxed it gets hard

A screenshot of two recommendations in a quantitative scientific research paper called "Dwelling and household characteristics' influence on reported and measured summertime overheating: A glimpse of a mild climate in the 2050's". They read: 15. Around two thirds of overheated living rooms and bedrooms were in London and, nationally, around two thirds of overheated living rooms were in flats. Overheating mitigation measures might therefore focus on flats, and other small dwellings, especially those in London. 16. Those in society who are most disadvantaged, the poor, those living in social housing, the elderly and the unemployed, disproportionately suffer from overheated homes. Mitigation measures, and help and support during heat waves, ought to focus on this sector of the population.

The building has a large section missing, and firefighters have systematically demolished all areas where there might be concealed fires or embers. Some flats did survive.
There's now fire coming through the roof, there's a lot of it. Lots of smoke coming from the rest of the roof, two ladders at two windows (a 9m and a 13.5m).
Two firefighters outside, one is footing a short, lightweight, 10-foot triple extension ladder, he's wearing a chequered 'BA' tabbard to indicate he's in charge of the BA board. Up the ladder, another firefighter is starting to open the wall, which has discoloured from white to brown.
An image showing an i nternal wall in one of the flats after the firefighters had attempted to locate the fire inside the walls. A large section of the wall has been cut out using a power tool, like a new doorway between the rooms, but bigger, it has completely wrecked that wall.

A middle section of the flats, the top two floors, smoke is coming out of the eaves, and some of the render outside both upper floors appears to be discolouring from white to brown to dark brown in places. You can just see the top of a fire service ladder against the wall beside an open top-floor Juliet balcony, with smoke coming out. Smoke also appears to be coming through the roof tiles in places.

A van drove around Gorton and Denton carrying Labour's messages. It's showing a picture of Polanski and Hannah Spencer alongside this message: "To all voters, do not listen to these people, do not vote for the greens. They want to legalise all drugs and teach our children to use drugs including crack and heroin and let our daughters be used for legal prostitution. No green madness in out communities." Is it any wonder Labour got hammered and Spencer won?

A Facebook post by the Reform leader of St Helens council: "Dr George Woodward - Reform UK in St Helens. Pride Cancellation - my statement as Leader of St Helens Borough Council... St Helens Borough Council won't be supporting or promoting Pride. I have instructed officers to cease engagement with all aspects of the event, We don't consider celebrations of sexuality, especially those with left-wing political leanings such as Pride, to be appropriate for St Helens Borough Council to dedicate valuable officer resources. 1 am also deeply concerned that Pride has become affiliated with harmful transaender ideology. As a council, we have a duty of care towards young children in the borough. Being affiliated with a movement that often results in lifelong medical harm in young impressionable children is not the direction in which I want St Helens Council to travel. Individuals, the private sector, and charities are welcome to continue to support the event as they deem appropriate.

A tweet on X from the Pakistan PM: Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now.
