Heathrow Airport's third runway has been delayed by four years and will not be operational until 2039. Airport bosses are understood to have informed ministers that the current 2035 target is unachievable. The original deadline was set by then-chancellor Rachel Reeves in January last year and was considered ambitious at the time. The set-back represents a blow to Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plans to use the expansion project to boost UK economic growth, coming on the eve of Labour's annual […]
Gen X has spent a lifetime adapting to change. We grew up with landlines, cassette tapes, paper maps, encyclopaedias and televisions that had to be switched on manually. We then watched computers arrive in the home, followed by the internet, mobile phones, social media, streaming services and a world where almost everything can be done from a device in your pocket. You would think we would be completely comfortable with modern life by now. And, to be fair, we are […]
A legal expert has warned that Manchester City being found liable for 114 out of 115 rule breaches will open the floodgates to further legal challenges in football. Paul Stothard, a partner at law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, said if upheld, rival clubs may seek compensation for lost revenue, missed European qualification, or relegation. He added that the outcome underscores the need for greater regulation and could help reshape football governance. Iran claims to have given the United States a […]
There are some things in life that become almost invisible because they are always there. You don't think about them, you don't appreciate them and you certainly don't spend much time wondering how much difference they make. They are simply part of everyday life. Then one day, they're missing. Suddenly, something that you barely noticed before becomes the only thing you can think about. The heating stops working and you realise just how much you rely on being warm. The […]
Journalists from CNN, Politico and MS NOW have returned to the White House after a federal judge ruled President Donald Trump's access ban was probably unconstitutional and ordered their entry immediately restored. The outlets sought an emergency hearing, accusing officials of repeatedly turning away reporters. The White House later cited national security concerns, but Judge Timothy Kelly cast doubt on those claims. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has criticised justice system decisions after a sex offender was repeatedly allowed […]
There was a time when you couldn't get everything whenever you wanted it. Shops closed. Banks closed. Takeaways stopped delivering. The last bus went home. Television programmes finished for the night. If you wanted something and it wasn't available, you simply had to wait. For Gen X, that wasn't particularly unusual. It was just life. We grew up in a world of opening hours, closing times and the occasional handwritten sign in a shop window telling you that the owner […]
Ed Miliband has told the UN Security Council that leaders in artificial intelligence are right to warn about the technology's ability to do harm. The Foreign Secretary said executives at major firms are stating clearly that preventing global disaster cannot be left solely to private companies. He added that governments cannot abdicate their fundamental duty to protect their citizens by outsourcing responsibility to commercial businesses. Blood tests have revealed very high levels of a cancer-causing forever chemical in dozens of […]
There was a time when being unavailable was completely normal. If someone wanted to speak to you, they phoned the house and hoped you were in. If you went out, nobody knew exactly where you were. If you were going away for the weekend, you didn't spend the journey sending updates to everyone you knew. You simply went. For Gen X, that probably sounds less like a historical curiosity and more like a description of childhood. We grew up in […]
