🚨 For the first time since records began, the UK is no longer classified as an “Open” country in a leading global ranking of freedom of expression. This latest drop continues a pattern of decline since 2014, across indicators including media freedom, internet censorship,

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan says that those bus stops that comply with TfL guidance are usable by blind people. This one here in the heart of the City of London does comply, but is clearly unusable for blind people. Retweet to support blind people’s. Access needs:

Not sure, in the current clime, this is the best sort of thing for Amazon to be giving cheap promotional deals on. Tactless at the very least. Except for professional cooks does anybody need that many knives?

There are some things so silly that they can only happen in comedies. Such as Moss getting trapped in a grabber arcade machine in one of The IT Crowd episodes.... and then you read this in the news ...

Even less peace and quiet coming your way ...

Can the @mayoroflondon please tell us what %age of London's net gdp is contributed by Ghanaian Londoners? I am not disputing that they make a contribution, even a welcome contribution, but I do wonder whether he is right to use the word "huge".

Dear Kate Lamble, please get people's titles right. However much he (or you) might want him to be the younger son of a Marquess or Duke, Lord Hendy is simply a Life Peer and he is therefore correctly called Peter, Lord Hendy or just Lord Hendy.

Dear @ft please get the names of life peers right. Another reporter today daria mosolova has made the error. David, Lord Blunkett is not the son of a Duke or Marquess. I know it is a small error, but if that is wrong, I have to wonder what else in the article is wrong.

Can't come soon enough. Genuinely responsible cyclists will not stop cycling if this is brought in.

Dear Financial Times, I know I keep trying to teach you this but another of your staff Jennifer Williams is making the same error confusing Life Peers and younger sons of Marquesses and Dukes. There is no "Lord Michael Gove". The person referred to is Lord Gove or Michael, Lord Gove.

Notice to X users: if suddenly drop off X it will because I have been asked for age identification. It will not be your fault, and I will miss it, but the UK government's nanny state culture will be to blame.

It makes a more accessible London forr those who can be active walking or cycling. It does NOT make London more accessible "for all". We know the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan 's agenda, but at least he could be honest about it.

And suddenly the world is less smart, less insighful, and less funny. RIP Tom Lehrer

How on earth can 16-17 year old be given the vote at the same time as the govt new Online Safety Law bans them from seeing or discussing information which is relevant to their understanding of the issues they are meant to vote on?

How can this be if the ULEZ is the success claimed? There clearly needs to be research done to understand properly the causes without any knee-jerk reaction based on "claims". Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

Without wishing to downplay the bravery of Capt Lovell or any of the Apollo astronauts, the rescue was a joint effort by 1,000s of people, many forgotten, who worked tirelessly to bring the crew home safely to Earth.

Is the @mayoroflondon encouraging people to cycle without looking where they are going and without cycle helmets?
