Overseas care workers go above and beyond to support our loved ones.

How does the government show its gratitude? By making it harder for them to live and work in the UK.

I have written to the Home Secretary urging them to reverse these changes and support care workers instead!

Iโ€™ve got loads!

- Medieval people washed regularly, drank water, and didnโ€™t have rotten teeth
- WW1 did not end in 1918
- Queen Victoria was a horndog
- Ancient Egyptians invented Egyptology by excavating their own ancient monuments
- We know more about Shakespeare than many other famous Tudors

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose. "Who on earth gives that advice?"

โ€œChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, โ€˜Hell yesโ€”letโ€™s go full trippy modeโ€™โ€

Some migrants to face 20-year wait for settled status Shabana Mahmood says becoming part of the UK is

"People who arrived on post-Brexit health and social care visas would have to wait 15 years, up from five year currently"

Oh sure I'll vote Labour. On the condition my vote is counted retroactively. Delayed 15 years when a new batch of more compassionate Labour candidates are available.

ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT โ€˜goadedโ€™ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

โ€˜I realised Iโ€™d been ChatGPT-ed into bedโ€™: how โ€˜Chatfishingโ€™ made finding love on dating apps even weirder Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm.
