Resembling cigarette packet warnings, the ads highlight dangers and urge people to email MPs Mumsnet has launched a campaign to introduce a ban on social media for under-16s featuring health warnings in the style of those on cigarette packets. The deliberately provocative national advertising campaign calls for all social media to be banned for children under the age of 16. The images on billboards and social media make a number of stark statements related to health. Continue reading...
Polls put seat in three-way dead heat with Labour facing threats from Reform and Green party in once safe seat The Gorton and Denton byelection is the biggest electoral test yet for Keir Starmer before what are expected to be disastrous results for Labour in the May local elections.

Polls put seat in three-way dead heat with Labour facing threats from Reform and Green party in once safe seat The Gorton and Denton byelection is the biggest electoral test yet for Keir Starmer before what are expected to be disastrous results for Labour in the May local elections. Polls put the race in a three-way dead heat, making it nearly impossible to call. The vote is particularly symbolic because of the threat Labour faces from Reform UK and the Green party in a once safe seat. Should Labour lose, it will put the spotlight back on Starmer’s decision to block Andy Burnham , the mayor of Greater Manchester, from contesting the seat. Continue reading...
A comforting and rustic plate inspired by trip to a traditional Roman trattoria The benefit of soaking and cooking (or, better still, pressure cooking) your own beans are many: less packaging; money saved (a 500g bag of dried beans costing £2.50 will yield 1.5kg cooked beans, while some 400g tins can cost more or less the same); the suspiciously coloured but flavourful and starchy bean cooking wat...
A comforting and rustic plate inspired by trip to a traditional Roman trattoria The benefit of soaking and cooking (or, better still, pressure cooking) your own beans are many: less packaging; money saved (a 500g bag of dried beans costing £2.50 will yield 1.5kg cooked beans, while some 400g tins can cost more or less the same); the suspiciously coloured but flavourful and starchy bean cooking water; and some personal satisfaction that you actually remembered to soak the beans in the first place. The benefits – and joy – of tinned beans, however, are almost instantaneous. That is, just a ring-pull away – unless, of course, said ring-pull comes off prematurely, turning the tin into a door without a knob and leaving you two options: searching for the tin opener that is somewhere in the miscellaneous drawer (or among the picnic equipment, which is on top of the wardrobe), or puncturing the tin at exactly the right spot on the seam with a pointy parmesan knife, which is somewhere in the same drawer. Fortunately, the ring pull didn’t come away prematurely on any of the three tins – two borlotti beans and one plum tomatoes – required for this week’s recipe, which came about thanks to a meal at Dal Cordaro , a hard-working and decent trattoria just behind Porta Portese, a 17th-century city gate (arch) in the Aurelian wall on the right bank of the river Tiber. Everything we ordered – whole braised artichokes, slow-cooked oxtail stew, flash-fried rags of beef ( straccetti ), pasta and chickpeas – was pleasing and could have made its way into this column. However, my plate of beans in a rich, orange-tinted tomato sauce with poached sausages and greens ( escarole ) stirred in at some point was the satisfying idea that came home with me.

Deutsche Telekom AG forecast 2026 earnings that beat analysts’ estimates as Europe’s biggest phone carrier adds new customers in its home market and the US.

Deutsche Telekom AG forecast 2026 earnings that beat analysts’ estimates as Europe’s biggest phone carrier adds new customers in its home market and the US. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization after leases this year will rise to about €47.4 billion ($56 billion), the company said in a statement on Thursday. Analysts had anticipated adjusted Ebitdaal of €46.4 billion this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Deutsche Telekom has outperformed the rest of the market in recent years, supported by its majority stake in US operator T-Mobile US Inc. The business has helped it withstand intense competition in Germany and other European markets. In Germany, its second-largest market after the US, Deutsche Telekom said it added 584,000 households that use a fiber-optic line and now has more than 2 million active customers of that service. It lost 49,000 broadband customers last year, although that business has stabilized and it added 2,000 clients in last quarter. Mobile service revenue in the country grew 2.4% in the fourth quarter, with 282,000 new branded contract additions. Rival Vodafone Group Plc grew more slowly than expected last quarter in Germany, despite a wholesale deal with smaller operator 1&1 AG that added about 12 million customers to its network. T-Mobile, which reported earlier this month, added fewer mobile-phone subscribers in the fourth quarter than analysts expected. Next year, it expects to add 1 million contract bundles. The weak dollar had a negative impact on the group’s adjusted Ebitda by around €600 million last quarter, Deutsche Telekom said.

Service revenue for the group rose 2.1%. Ebitdaal is a profitability metric used widely by the industry and is a variation of Ebitda that backs out the impact of leased a...
