This is edition 2024/119 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 for members in the VIP tier (old Silver and above), but for the next few days I will be sending it to all paid members.
I hope you continue to enjoy this weekday newsletter and if you aren't currently on the VIP plan please consider upgrading.
Enjoy!
