Credit where Credit is due - Well done Lads
Three schoolboys, just 12, 13 and 14, acted heroically by stopping to help a stranger in distress on their way home.
Shawn Young, Devonte Cafferkey and Sammy Farah were walking home from St Mary’s High School in Cheshunt when they spotted a man in distress on an overpass in Waltham Cross.
Devonte and Sammy grabbed the man’s arms as he edged towards the edge. Shawn shouted for help and waved at passing motorists.
Two passersby quickly rushed over to help hold the man until emergency services arrived. Later, the boys were honoured by the Royal Humane Society for their bravery.
As Devonte put it: "We could not have lived with ourselves if we had kept walking."

Poundland, owned by US private equity firm Gordon Brothers, on brink of administration. 12,000 jobs at risk.
Gordon Brothers rejected a management-backed rescue bid. Probably thinks it can raise more from a breakup.
Destruction of town centres continues.

The wounded are being evacuated from Dnipro railway station to hospitals.
My account on X appears to be throttled, so please share this. People need to see this blatant attack on civilians.
I’m heading down there shortly.

A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene.
Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.

Fair play to @dantomlinsonmp. Can't imagine many ministers being a) having the guts to do this live and b) being so on top of their brief they do it well.
'The minister has very bravely offered to go through some of the charts from the budget'

The banks are having a laugh - £200 Billion over last five years - more than half of that is money we pay them, interest on the cash they hold. We need to cut benefits - to banks. The EU did already, as did Switzerland (famously good at looking after money).

NEW: Russia is actively supporting Houthi operations to disrupt global energy markets by providing the Houthis with satellite imagery of Saudi oil and military infrastructure. Russian satellites have routinely been positioned above major Saudi energy and military sites in the days prior to and after Houthi attacks on those sites since July 2026. (1/2)

Today the Panthers players and staff joined for a moment of silence for Adam Johnson and lay flowers under Adam’s plaque on Bolero Square💛
We encourage the #PanthersNation to join us in making noise for Adam during the 47th minute of the game, at this Friday’s game against Belfast Giants.
Forever our #47

Three years ago today, Nottingham Panthers forward Adam Johnson tragically lost his life during an Elite League Challenge Cup game. The Elite League, its fans, and the entire ice hockey community will never forget Adam.
Adam, and all those affected, are in our thoughts today.

It’s the anniversary of Big Mark Hateley scoring lthe most bullet header in the history of bullet headers, to win the Milan derby in 1984.
That is one hell of a leap, son. Like a salmon on a trampoline.
