Following an innocuous link in a Full Fact article unexpectedly dropped me into the BBC politics website, 1997. Seems to have been created solely to cover that year, and then kept in it's final state ever since.
Fascinating stuff, and kudos to the Beeb for keeping (most of) it online. There are GIFs, though not as many as I would have preferred.

Wikipedia has a cheat sheet of well-known tells for identifying generated text. (With an appropriate warning not to over-index on minor ones as absolute proof) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Cleanup/AI_catchphrases

"Projections suggest that ongoing deep funding cuts—combined with the potential dismantling of [USAID] — could result in more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, including 4·5 million deaths among children younger than 5 years." https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(25)01186-9/fulltext #globalhealth
I'm nervous about Southend being combined with Rochford and Castle Point - will those rural councils understand our urban needs? It risks a change in character and priorities.
We already share the same bus and train transport network. We need nearby councils working with us to grow the city, as we have no fields to build on.
Our neighbours often build car-focused housing and send us the traffic. Will they embrace city life? Will they force us to build roads? Risks and opportunities
