Rivian will deliver the first R2 SUVs on June 9

Rivian will deliver the first R2 SUVs on June 9

Rivian has finally revealed that the first customers of the company’s new R2 SUV will get their vehicles on June 9. The automaker has spent the last few months ramping up its efforts to release the R2, which is more affordable and aimed at a larger market than its current R1 lineup. The new SUV will initially be available in a trim that starts just under $60,000, though Rivian has announced plans to release a “standard” version that starts at $48,490 in 2027. The company has teased an even more affordable version “starting around $45,000” late next year — a price tag Rivian has promoted since the R2 reveal in 2024. Rivian has high expectations for the R2. Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe has said it is “maybe the most important thing we’ve launched to date.” The company is betting on an extremely fast ramp-up, with as many as 25,000 vehicles delivered by the end of this year. Ultimately, Rivian hopes the R2 and its hatchback sibling, the R3, will help the company turn a …

Dyson’s New Fan and Air Purifier Combo Follows You Around the Room to Deliver Clean Air

Dyson’s New Fan and Air Purifier Combo Follows You Around the Room to Deliver Clean Air

Fans are among the best ways to stay cool in the summer. They’re usually quiet, energy-efficient compared to air conditioners, and you can buy them in a variety of sizes and types, from tabletop and standing fans to larger tower fans and ceiling fans.  It’s hard to imagine how to improve on something this basic, but Dyson’s new Find+Follow Purifier Cool is a combination bladeless fan and air purifier that uses AI to blow purified air to wherever you’re in the room.  “We designed the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool to respond to real human behavior,” said Omer Ali, senior Dyson engineer, in a press statement.  “You shouldn’t need to manually adjust your fan for comfort. With Find+Follow air projection, the machine automatically oscillates and directs airflow to the person — even as they move to different areas of the room, so you can enjoy consistent comfort without constantly repositioning the product.”  The Find+Follow Purifier Cool comes with AI tracking to blast clean air in your direction.  Dyson Think of it as an oscillating fan, just smarter. …

AI Promised the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Wristwatch. China Will Deliver It

AI Promised the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Wristwatch. China Will Deliver It

Laden with iconic Royal Oak design cues, most notably the octagonal case, eight-screw bezel, and Petite Tapisserie-patterned dial, the strapless design heavily references 1979’s Royal Oak Pocket Watch reference 5691. Inside is an entirely new hand-wound version of Swatch’s Sistem51 caliber, a movement that is completely machine assembled. Swatch has 15 active patents on this new iteration and has also squeezed in an impressive 90-hour power reserve. There’s even an antimagnetic Nivachron balance spring that was, incidentally, codeveloped with Audemars Piguet. Swatch’s 1986 POP line, whose watch heads could be physically ejected from their frames and clipped elsewhere, has been plundered here to create a design that allows the Royal Pops to ping out of their bioceramic holder clips, too. Why There’s No Wristwatch The simple logic of the pocket watch design authorized by Audemars Piguet, which, unlike Omega, is not part of the Swatch Group, is that it doesn’t upset its existing high-net-worth customer base. Royal Oak owners will no doubt be breathing sighs of relief now that it’s confirmed a version of their …

Starmer has failed to deliver the ‘change’ he promised – POLITICO

Starmer has failed to deliver the ‘change’ he promised – POLITICO

While 31 percent thought Starmer and his team had changed the country in the right way, “but not enough,” more than half — 56 percent — said Labour has either not changed anything since winning power in 2024 or changed the country for the worse. And a similar proportion — 53 percent — said Labour has no realistic chance of being re-elected whenever the next election comes.  For Nigel Farage’s nationalist Reform UK party, by contrast, the verdict is dramatically more positive. Not only is Farage distinctly more popular than Starmer, his party is seen as more likely to succeed at handling key challenges facing Britain — and 65 percent of the public believe Reform now has “a real chance” of winning power. The results suggest Farage’s Reform UK has broken through to become a far more credible political movement in the eyes of the public than it was shortly before the 2024 election.  “The Labour Party ran on a promise of ‘change’ but very few people now feel they have delivered,” said Seb Wride, head of polling …

Starmer vows to stay on after local elections deliver losses for Labour

Starmer vows to stay on after local elections deliver losses for Labour

Keir Starmer vowed Friday to remain as Britain’s prime minister after disastrous local elections saw his centre-left Labour party humiliated across the UK, with disillusioned voters backing hard-right and nationalist parties. Thursday’s ballots – Starmer’s biggest electoral test since Labour ousted the Conservatives in 2024 – left the British leader under intense pressure after the party suffered a historic mauling in its Welsh heartlands.

Politics Home | Starmer Must Quit If He Can’t Deliver Urgent Change, Says Senior Labour MP

3 min read2 hr Louise Haigh, the former transport secretary, has put further pressure on Keir Starmer effectively putting him on notice to quit unless there is “significant and urgent change”. Speaking to ITV Calendar, Haigh qualified her expression of support for the Prime Minister with a warning that he may not be the right person to lead Labour into the next election as the governing party was on course to suffer major losses nationwide. “He is doing an incredible job at the moment on the international stage in the middle of global instability and a war. And it is imperative that he is successful in that role because our constituents’ livelihoods are dependent upon it,” the Sheffield Heeley MP said. “But I think what is abundantly clear is that unless the government delivers significant and urgent change, then the Prime Minister cannot lead us into another election.” Haigh later confirmed to PoliticsHome that “another election” refers to the next set of local elections in May 2027 rather than the next general …

Sali Hughes on beauty: the best tinted sunscreens deliver SPF, moisture and a spring glow all in one | Beauty

There are two things I invariably reach for at this lovely time of year: a trench coat and tinted sunscreen. The life-changing appearance of sunlight – if not quite blazing heat – means that most of us are venturing outdoors for longer periods while perhaps lightening our makeup load a little to be more seasonally appropriate. A tinted sunscreen in the right formula can kill two – or even three – birds with one stone, offering some makeup coverage, lighter moisture and high-factor sun protection in one portable product.

Garnier Ambre Solaire makes lots of terrific facial sunscreens at very good prices. The newish Vitamin C Wonder Tint SPF50 (£9.99) is among their best. Available in light, medium and dark, it’s a silky sunscreen that packs enough glycerin to moisturise skin as well as protect it, making it a good choice for drier skin types. The pocket-friendly bottle is compact and practical if, like me, you’re …

Mapped: the elections that could deliver ‘unprecedented’ losses for Labour | May 2026 elections

Mapped: the elections that could deliver ‘unprecedented’ losses for Labour | May 2026 elections

Labour is on track for its worst local election performance next Thursday, data analysed by the Guardian shows, in a blow that will pile further pressure on Keir Starmer’s leadership. Barring a drastic change in fortunes, Labour’s vote-share could fall to historic lows across elections for councils in England and devolved parliaments in Wales and Scotland on 7 May, with big gains for Reform, the Greens and nationalist parties, according to recent polling. The collapse in support is particularly existential in the race for the Welsh parliament, the Senedd, which Labour has dominated since its creation in 1999. Polling shows Labour’s vote share falling by more than half in Wales, enough to push the party into third place, with Reform and Plaid Cymru vying for first. 0% In Wales, Labour faces a crash in its vote… 0% …while in Scotland, Labour’s long-term decline is set to continue Guardian graphic. *Note: Labour’s vote share in council elections is taken from the BBC’s Projected National Vote series, a projection based on ward-level voting figures in local elections, …
