This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet? The news that healthy life expectancy is in decline in Britain exposes a serious truth about the state we’re in, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Foreign Office starts planning evacuation of thousands of Britons in Middle East About 200,000 nationals thought to be in the region as tensions rise after US-Israeli attacks on Iranian regime

I cannot imagine how scary it must be to be in the Middle East right now, at least some people have option to leave, yet again those choosing to live and work their won’t be referred to as immigrants though. I hope everyone gets out safely. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I see two things in Gorton and Denton: palpable frustration and the need for wise voting to stop Reform | Polly Toynbee After speaking to locals, I still can’t predict the result, but a big, combined effort will be needed. Without a united front the left may splinter and lose, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

The betting has the Greens at 1/2 and Labour at 5/1. If you actually want to keep Reform out, rather than making a rhetorical point, you can only rationally argue for Labour to step aside.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Big oil=BIG lies!

NHS deal with AI firm Palantir called into question after officials’ concerns revealed Exclusive: in 2025 briefing to Wes Streeting, officials warned reputation of tech firm behind US ICE operations would hinder rollout of data system in UK

The fact Wes Streeting was warned by his own officials that the toxicity of Palantir made the contract less likely to succeed raises, yet again, the question why Government granted it the contract in the first place?
