Britain’s media has reacted with fury and bewilderment after a US scientist claimed the perfect cup of tea is made with a pinch of added salt. “I guess we are going to war again?” legal journalist Molly Quell wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “We cannot stand idly by as such an outrageous proposal threatens the very foundation of our Special Relationship,” the embassy wrote in a viral X post. Francl also found little sympathy in the British press, which took her suggestion with more than a pinch of salt. In the meantime, the embassy said it “will continue to make tea in the proper way – by microwaving it.”

The pension triple lock is a government promise to raise publicly funded pensions by the level of earnings, inflation or 2.5%, whichever is highest. "Of course the government is committed to its policy on the triple lock," Sunak told ITV News on Wednesday when asked whether he would stick to the pledge despite the rate of inflation. "When I set out that target people said 'oh that's very easy he’s not ambitious enough'," he told ITV. "I thought it was an ambitious target, but it's right to be ambitious for our country."

В ходе интервью представитель британского подразделения Amazon Джон Бумфри (John Boumphrey) заявил, что товаров уничтожается «чрезвычайно мало». Бывший сотрудник Amazon утверждает, что имеется еженедельный план на уничтожение порядка 130 000 единиц всевозможных товаров, половина из которых новые, а вторая половина — возвращены покупателями. Подход к утилизации у компании не избирательный — в утиль попадают фены, пылесосы, ноутбуки и планшеты, на следующий день — 20 000 упакованных медицинских масок. Оказалось, что за одну неделю 124 000 товаров уничтожили и только 28 000 — отправили нуждающимся. Amazon не только продаёт собственные товары, но и является площадкой для множества продавцов, у которых есть возможность хранить свои изделия на складах компании.
