Thirty years ago, the Channel Tunnel finally linked the United Kingdom and France!

This feat brought people closer together, gave new impetus to our trade and confirmed the strength of our political relationship.

There’s something quietly thrilling about walking into the polling station and queuing up to vote with your neighbours. We’re lucky to have the chance to, so even if you’re not sure who to choose it’s worth the trip today.

Are BBC News app's push alerts the no 1 way that people in the UK get news?

The BBC News at Six and Ten get 3-4m viewers each; the app has 11.9m UK users as of March 2022 and is the most-used news app by far. I assume not everyone has push alerts on, but probably most do.

Looking back to when Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister. It’s hard to argue that he hasn’t achieved what he set out to in providing stability for the economy.

Rishi Sunak Dear Rishi, thank you and the British people for believing in Ukraine, standing by us, and supporting us on the path to victory. With friends like you, we are confident that Ukraine, life, and the truth will triumph over aggression, terror, and lies.

When my grandad escaped the Soviet Union (modern day Ukraine), one of his first jobs in the UK was at the Vauxhall factory in Luton. Opened in 1905 and now will be producing cutting edge EVs. Great news!
