Rishi Sunak spoke to Ikea workers yesterday and his visit went down like badly made furniture. The PM visited a branch in Dartford where he spoke about inflation and the economy to an audience who looked thoroughly unimpressed. He said: "I've got to make sure government is doing everything that it needs to do and that means being responsible with our borrowing. "We cannot be in a situation like this and borrow too much money because that just makes everything works. "I'd love to cut your taxes tomorrow. That's hard to do because I'm going to have to borrow more money to do it."

Meanwhile, he was confronted by one worker about the state of the NHS. Jake Robinson, 23, from Rochester, Kent, said his grandmother had to book GP appointments six weeks in advance because her surgery is so busy and Sunak said he was working on it. Here's what people made of his jolly: Oh dear. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

Police in the UK have blamed an Android smartphone update on a record increase in accidental 999 calls. The National Police Chiefs Council said the Emergency SOS function was resulting in emergency switchboards being overwhelmed by “silent” calls. The emergency feature is activated when a side button on a device is repeatedly pressed, which triggers a countdown that allows the action to be cancelled by dragging a slider across the screen. However, many users appear to inadvertently initiate emergency calls when their device is in a bag or pocket. “Nationally, all emergency services are currently experiencing record high 999 call volumes,” the National Police Chiefs Council said. “There’s a few reasons for this, but one we think is having a significant impact is an update to Android smartphones.” Met Police chief superintendent Dan Ivey said people should disable the emergency feature, claiming that an “unprecedented” number of calls to emergency lines in June were a result of people accidentally activating it. The majority of smartphone owners in the UK use Android, with Samsung, Huawei and Google Pixel phones all using the mobile operating system. Google, which first began rolling out the Emergency SOS update with the release of Android 12 in 2021, said that it was working with these smartphone manufacturers in order to resolve the issue. “To help these manufacturers prevent unintentional emergency calls on their devices, Android is providing them with additional guidance and resources,” a spokesperson for Google said. “We anticipate device manufacturers will roll out updates to their users that address this issue shortly. Users that continue to experience this issue should switch Emergency SOS off for the next couple of days.” The feature can be deactivated within the ‘Safety and Emergency’ section of Android’s settings. Android researcher Mishaal Rahman noted on Twitter that the issue also appeared to impact other law enforcement agencies around the world, including police in Canada and Europe.

Saudi Arabia has been more active than ever in the transfer window this summer, and Liverpool fans thought one of their star players had become the latest to join the Saudi Pro League. There was panic among supporters on social media after the transfer of “Mohamed Salah” to Al-Adalah was announced this week. However, luckily for them, it was a different Mohamed Salah and not the one that’s been so key to their success over recent years. A load of players have been tempted by Saudi cash in recent weeks, with Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Ruben Neves among the big names to move in recent weeks.

Fans voiced their relief on social media after seeing “Mohamed Salah” trending and fearing the worst. One wrote: “For a second I thought it was Liverpool’s Salah.” Another concerned fan wrote: “Don’t play with me man.” “My heart jumped,” another said. Needless to say it's not the same Salah but a footballer with the same name. The good news for Liverpool fans is that Salah signed a contract last year which will keep him at the club until 2025. The Egyptian has played 305 games for Liverpool since joining from Roma in 2017. He scored 186 goals in that time and helped Liverpool to a Premier League title and a Champions League in his six seasons with the club. Have your say in our news democracy.
