This is edition 2024/218 of the Ten@10 newsletter.
Welcome to the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.
This is normally now only for members in the VIP tier (old Silver and above), now that our membership transfer is completed. If you think you should be getting this with your membership then don't hesitate to sing out.
I hope you continue to enjoy this weekday newsletter and if you aren't currently on the VIP plan please consider upgrading.
Enjoy!
