Kai won a house-point for good behaviour in the classroom.
Madison worked hard and is allowed extra screen time.
Donald stopped crying when he won a golden trophy for saying he could break up fights.
But the playground attendant swears that he is the school bully.

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

Ordinary fishermen need to ask why their interests are being so badly misrepresented by the biggest boat owners who have all the lobbying power.

England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record
River Action says use of issuance tied to environmental benefits is ‘corporate greenwash on steroids’
Greenwash
England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record.
Industry dumps tons of raw sewage in rivers, lakes and seas. Destroys marine life, biodiversity; creates health hazards.
And spineless regulators call them green bonds. Travesty.

This latest "plan" must deliver and make it easier for more landowners to work together at landscape scale to encourage nature to recover.

Nitrates derogation could be extended by three years after proposal backed by European Commission
Too much nitrogen in a river can lead to an over-growth of algae, which causes damage to, and can even kill, wildlife and plants.
Despite a 16% jump in nitrates levels in Irish rivers in the last year alone, it's looking like the derogation (special dispensation to pollute more) will *still* be extended by another 3 years.
Help farmers financially if needs be, but killing our rivers is just WRONG.

Beyond the negative headlines, some truly good things came out of Cop30
In this week’s newsletter: Ultimately, climate progress will come from real-world action, and this year’s summit made some promising strides on that front
I'm sorry, but some 'good things' are just not enough
We are already locked-in to a return to a Pliocene world
Meanwhile fossil fuel companies plan for expansion and governments row back on green measures
COP30 has made no difference to this whatsoever

Why Switch to Silicone? — Simple Ecology
An introduction to what Silicone is and how it impacts our bodies and the planet as a safer, more eco-friendly alternative to plastic.
Big Oil does not want you to know
It looks like plastic - feels like plastic but its not plastic
Silicone made from naturally occurring silica stone, water, and natural gas-derived methanol
It does not create microplastic particles or leach harmful chemicals

New: Boris Johnson’s ‘Brexit Titanic success’ was half right
Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer
Brexit has made the UK economy 6%–8% smaller than it would have been if we had stayed in the EU. That is £165bn-£225bn a year.
That is a loss to the government budget of around £65bn to £90bn a year.
Imagine what Reeves could do with that kind of money.

A Labour MP did bad admin and its all over the BBC like a rash for a week or more. The leader of Reform in Wales gets sent down for what's effectively treason and it hardly gets a mention. THAT is the BBC bias.
