The ones for North Sea fish fingers and chocolate oranges?

Most voters say Brexit to blame for food shortages, poll reveals. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-food-shortages-supermarkets-protocol-sunak-b2294446.html It all helps with Fagland Brexitland's 'trade deal' with the USA. To import American chicken-shit.

Simon Schama (who?) urges UK Jews to condemn Israel’s ‘horrifying’ shift to far right. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/05/simon-schama-uk-jews-condemn-israel-far-right-violence-palestinians Well there's novel for you. A proposal for the white, Jewish supremacist, anti-semitic, racist, terrorist, thieving, fanatical Israeli supporters and apologists to come out against a 'horrifying' shift to the far right - actually being published in the the UK's Israeli-aligned gutter propaganda. Not so much a 50-year delayed reaction as an inability to ignore, distort and excuse the truth any longer. So when is the next 'condemnation' going to be 'urged'? The one for the hundreds of thousands of lives, the injuries, the maimings, the homes and livelihoods, identities and territories lost to mass-murdering, empire-building, Israeli invaders.

Obviously not a priority then - although much could be done with that money if the media was first taught how to use the English language.

Ukrainian commander says there are more Russians attacking the city of Bakhmut than there is ammo to kill them. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/ukrainian-commander-says-more-russians-144704038.html Makes you wonder where all of those $ billions upon $ billions (and £s and euros) of military aid have gotten to - if NATO's 'Goebbels'` propaganda is to be believed. Or was it all just the usual bullshit from the USA, suppliers to Holocausts? And their parroting, kowtowing lackey states? Using Ukrainian civilians for cannon fodder while lining their own cowardly pockets. Together with the 'world's most corrupt' Ukrainian elite where old habits die really hard.

Gambling charity helpline sees highest calls on record in January. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/gambling-charity-helpline-sees-highest-071134052.html Totally academic for as long as the corrupt, bloodsucking, leeching Turdy regime remains in power - sponsored by the gambling industry.

UK Border Force urged to ‘deprioritise’ gun and drugs searches to ease queues. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/28/uk-border-force-searches-queues-airport-passenger Or simply revert to the old model of 'Customs & Excise' doing baggage checks instead of trying to ape the USA all the time.
