Policy drives the talk. Nigel Farage vows to proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood in Britain, linking it to danger and terrorism ties. Faith Matters founder Fiyaz Mughal backs the move, calling the group shadowy and nefarious, saying action is overdue. Many Muslim-majority countries already ban it.

Health study, then consequence. A UK analysis of about 187,000 adults links higher ultra-processed food intake and additives to greater all-cause mortality over 11 years. Risk rises with UPF share: at 18 percent or more, higher risk; 40 percent, +14 percent; 50 percent, +19 percent. Five additives tie to higher risk; gelling agents lower risk. The study is observational; cut UPFs.

Entertainment note. On Safe House, Reynolds angered Denzel Washington when a Sinatra ringtone rang during a dying-scene take; Washington barked, "Who the f---’s phone is that?" and they did another take. Washington has also clashed with fans outside MoMA in New York, telling them to show respect.
