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 set-back represents a blow to Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plans to use the expansion project to boost […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
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.
