Watch Trump's reaction to this.

Here are some of the absolutely incredible results...

ADHD drugs have wider life benefits, study suggests A study has linked ADHD drugs to reduced substance misuse, suicide, transport accidents and criminality.

As a gourmand of government issued amphetamines, I completely believe this study.

If you're ADHD, talk your doctor about trying out meds

Bank of England cuts interest rates to 4% - live updates Experts had widely expected today’s decision, which takes the cost of borrowing down to its lowest level for more than two years.

Great news from the BoE for anyone with a tracker mortgage or coming to the end of a fix!

Not as great for savers but you've got plenty of other options than just a savings account and me, Rachel and the economy would be grateful if you'd cash out!

Searches for "VPN" are skyrocketing in the UK today. I wonder why...

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

Funny thing you notice after a while is that institutions really do start to take on the personality of the person at the top. In this case, the Tory party feels deeply, viscerally unpleasant.

For quick clipped appearances in the House of Commons and other political social videos for your office, give me a follow and DM!

Great appearance from @chriscurtis94.bsky.social in PMQs today fighting for the Milton Keynes tech sector.

Sorry President Strangelove but the correct recall code is "purity of essence"

Person dies of rabies in Yorkshire after contact with dog in Morocco UK Health Security Agency says person had contact with stray animal while on holiday in north Africa

This could have been me. I was bitten by a stray dog in Tunisia and while getting the first rabies shot was easy there, it took a whole day of frantic calling to tropical medicine clinics to try and get the NHS to appreciate how time sensitive Dose 2 was.

Poundland sold for £1 with shops set to close The BBC understands up to 100 of the brand's 825 UK stores could close as the new owners shake up the business.

Anyone who's been in a Poundland lately won't be surprised - their stores were beginning to feel dated, badly stocked and understaffed. It's one thing queuing for ages to save £30 in a discount supermarket, it's another to do it and only save 19p on tin foil.

Rachel Reeves delivers spending review and says use of hotels for asylum seekers to end ‘in this parliament’– UK politics live Chancellor claims move will save £1bn a year as she says Tories lost control of the border

Some optimistic, future-facing promises in the Spending Review: trains, planes and heat pump gains!

I'll be on air this afternoon breaking down what it means for you.

I'm guessing Trump is thrilled he gave this guy full access to government IT systems.

Supermarkets are ripping off customers - not just by making packages smaller, but selling different sizes on the same shelf, at the same price and leaving it up to chance whether you get 5 Freddos or 4.

Was great to share my shrinkflation shopping trip on @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social

5/ We've got some of the worst 5G in Europe, and London was recently ranked worst major city in Europe getting trounced by Porto, Stockholm and Copenhagen.

4/ Instead of two big players and two medium players, our mobile network sector will have three giants - hopefully big enough that they properly compete for customers and keep prices low.

But really, it's the investment the UK needs.

3/ Eventually, this should mean better signal for all - and thanks to network sharing schemes it should even help O2 and EE customers. At the cost of competition...

2/ Experts estimate it will take 3 years to properly mesh their networks into one VodaThrone and the CMA has insisted on a guarantee that prices won't rise for 3 years either.

Vodafone completes mega-merger to form UK’s largest mobile phone network The companies first announced the landmark deal in June 2023

1/ What does the merger of Vodafone and Three mean for you?

Not a fat lot for now.

Vodafone customers are still with Vodafone, Three with Three.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

Planning change makes heat pump installations easier for homes The rule requiring planning permission if a heat pump is within 1m of a neighbours property has been removed.

Finally! This is one of the most stupid hurdles to getting a heat pump. The next to knock down:

- Electricity prices 4x gas prices
- Lack of installers
- Time to replace a broken gas boiler in a home with no heating.

Met Police seizes more than £250k in courier fraud crackdown Police arrest 18 people believed to be behind sophisticated fraud scams across London, the Met says.

We don't see nearly enough of these stories given the scale of fraud in this country. (40% of all crime!)

18 nasty scammers caught thanks to the help of one victim who worked with the police to string the fraudsters along.

Huge changes to Woolworths' self-service checkouts Woolworths has implemented cutting-edge AI security technology at its self-serve checkouts at 460 stores across NSW, Victoria, Queensland and WA.

For those shocked by the VAR self-checkouts in Tesco, it turns out that Australia has had them for 3 years:

Thousands to get payouts over forced prepayment meter fitting More than £70m is being paid to customers who were forced to switch to prepaying for energy.

Forced prepayment meter fittings pushed some people into mountains of debt so it's absolutely right the big energy companies should pay up to put things right.

Will keep you posted on how to qualify....

How are we supposed to get people off gas when the price ratio is now OVER 4x. This really pushes the limit of heat pumps being cheaper to run than gas boilers and would be entirely fixable by the government.

New price cap from 1st July!

But there's no excuse to be paying this anymore: the fixed deals out there are great so GET SWITCHING!

Diddy trial live: Rapper Kid Cudi to testify in Diddy sex-trafficking trial Hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs could face life in prison if found guilty in his sex-trafficking trial.

Cudi? Of course he could. The real thing they have to prove to the jury though is Diddy?

Trump giddy to claim white people are suffering like a ten year old being told he has a free pass to say swears.
