X/Twitter will charge new users to post, Elon Musk says
Quick Glance: Musk Plans Fee for New X Users
  • Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

  • The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

  • Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

  • Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.

‘Landlady’ Angela Rayner lost it over smashed window, says neighbour
Quick Glance: Neighbor Claims Angela Rayner Lost Control Over Broken Window
  • Angela Rayner confronted neighbors, demanding £240 and identifying herself as 'the landlady' after a window was smashed at the property she claimed as her main residence.

  • An investigation by Greater Manchester police is looking into allegations that the deputy Labour leader provided inaccurate information to the electoral register while residing between two houses in Stockport during the 2010s, and they have initiated interviews with neighbors at her previous residence.

  • Police intervention occurred following accusations by prominent Conservatives, including James Daly, the Conservative deputy chairman, of electoral law violations and questioning whether she owed up to £3,500 in capital gains tax on proceeds from the sale of her former council house in 2015.

  • Rayner asserted that the residence on Vicarage Road was her primary domicile.

British youth smoking ban advances
Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill
  • The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

  • The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

  • The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

  • The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.
