Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is being criticised online for misusing alt text on Twitter.  On Wednesday, Mr Sunak posted a four-picture photo grid showing cabinet members having a meeting. When the images are clicked, each expands to reveal a list of things the government says it has done. “We are working day-in and day-out to grow the economy,” Mr Sunak wrote in the caption of the post. The alt text field, which is supposed to describe what's in the images for blind users, simply read: “We're growing the economy”.  Take a look at the post below:  We are working day-in and day-out to grow the economy. pic.twitter.com/wYgxplNEZm — Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) May 17, 2023 For those unaware, alt text is a way in which one can make images more accessible to those who are blind or visually impaired.

The United States and its allies reject that narrative, saying they are helping Kyiv defend itself against an illegal war.

In a statement earlier, the G7 agreed to tighten sanctions against Moscow and pare back exposure to China. They also urged China to press Russia to...

President Joe Biden said Wednesday he is confident a deal can be reached with Republicans leaders to avert a potentially catastrophic US debt default as early as June 1. "The leaders have all agreed we will not default," Biden said in brief remarks at the White House, shortly before departing for the G7 meeting of world leaders in Japan.  Biden and congressional leaders including House speaker Kevin McCarthy have held two rounds of face-to-face talks to try and reach an agreement to raise the US borrowing limit and thus allow the country to pay for its existing obligations.  After the latest negotiations on Tuesday ended without a breakthrough, McCarthy told reporters there was still "a lot of work to do" to break the high-stakes standoff with Democrat Biden over the debt ceiling.  Republicans continue to insist Biden must agree to significant spending cuts in exchange for their support to raise the ceiling, ignoring repeated Democratic calls for a "clean...

The Congress has emerged as the comfortable winner in a hotly contested election. There are important lessons for both the BJP and Congress. The two campaign narratives were unique and were built around each party's perceived strengths. The BJP's campaign was far more centralized, focusing on "double engine" sarkara, pan-India nationalism and the popularity of Narendra Modi. The Congress's campaign was more rooted in local issues. While Rahul Gandhi and the central leadership made several public appearances, local Karnataka leaders like DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah were the stars of the campaign. The Congress's success has important lessons for both parties. For the BJP, it underscores the limitations of relying on a centralised campaign and Narendra Modi when it comes to state elections. From the Congress' perspective, the success shows the importance of empowering state level leadership. The BJP's campaign reached a crescendo at the weekend of M...
