Yorkshire Dales sheep and cattle swap boosts biodiversity - studies Natural England began switching to cattle grazing at its Ingleborough site in the Dales in 2004.

Researchers found that replacing sheep with cattle at a site in the Yorkshire Dales - as part of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Wild Ingleborough project - saw plant diversity increase by more than 40% and the number of butterflies increased.

More of this sort of thing.

The Covid-19 inquiry is sounding a clear warning. If it’s not heeded, yet more lives will be lost | Ben Connah It’s not a question of if, but when, another pandemic hits Britain. We owe it to all those who suffered to make sure mistakes are not repeated, says Ben Connah, secretary of the UK Covid-19 inquiry

'The.. truth about inquiries..is their recommendations have rarely been implemented in full. Governments.. receive the findings and then..implementation is deferred.

[We expect] the full implementation of all the #Covid Inquiry’s recommendations.'

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani & β€’ 1h
Today's military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians.
Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city
- you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

This may end up being Starmer's biggest mistake. There's no fixing the health and care system now that Labour have booted out hundreds of thousands of foreign workers from them with their Reform-like immigration approach.
