      While we honor the past and remember the sacrifices made for our freedoms, it's crucial to focus on the future and take action to protect our planet. In the "Planet Hope" podcast from The Times, experts discuss solutions to combat rising sea levels, extreme weather, and species extinction. Meanwhile, in current events, there's disagreement over claims made during a political debate regarding family finances. The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, stated families would be £2,000 worse off under Labour's tax plans, but this was disputed by opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer and even the permanent secretary of the treasury distanced themselves from the figure. Amidst these debates, it's essential to remember the importance of truth and accuracy in political discourse.
