Canada and the US at opposite ends of the scale on how people view their fellow citizens. Might explain something. Good to see UK much closer to Canada than US

85% of Australians see other Australians as “good”. The 15% might be loud but they are a minority, an angry, grievance driven, bitter minority. Don’t let them turn our nation into another divided states of America.

It’s time Eugenie and Beatrice cut Prince Andrew out of their lives

For their own sake – and certainly that of their young children – the royal princesses need to find some distance from their disgraced father, says Samuel Fishwick

When you read content on X, you should be able to verify its authenticity. This is critical to getting a pulse on important issues happening in the world. As part of that, we're experimenting with displaying new information on profiles, including which country an account is based, among other details. Starting next week, we will surface this on a handful of profiles of X team members to get feedback.
