You will sleep well tonight. Take care if driving otherwise sleep on the journey.

The best advice as a business owner from my accountant was you and your staff will spend most of your life working at the business so make it a nice place to work in. Similar advice I heard from a garage owner was that the hardest thing in life is to spend your money..far easier to find an excuse!

Awful. Awful. Awful.

David Lammy stated yesterday that a judicial review upheld the govt's decision not to enact a full arms embargo on Israel. But that's not the full story.

The judicial review actually said that issuing an arms embargo is for the govt to decide, not the courts.

Report also didn’t consider farm animal (especially from poultry) poo polluting our streams and rivers with phosphates and nitrates.

Looting at Thames Water

Net assets in 1990, £1,329m;
2024, £1,301m;
2025, £359m negative - liabilities exceed assets

NO shareholder investment since privatisation?

Dividends £10.4bn.

Can't rebuild water services without ending privatisation.

Water Commission didn't spot looting,

Influential women urge Labour to include asylum seekers in plan to tackle violence Exclusive: Letter warns of ‘two-tier’ system if asylum seekers are excluded from promise to halve violence against women and girls

Pleased to be in this list of women calling for asylum seekers to be included in the Government’s plan to tackle violence against women & girls. Violence doesn’t stop at the border - and neither should our compassion for survivors @4refugeewomen.bsky.social

Dear Steve Reed,

If you set up a water commission only to tie its hands by not allowing it to consider public ownership, and excluding agricultural run off even though it causes half of water pollution, how can that commission possibly deliver real change?

Good luck a lot of it about Hopefully heading up stream and in that order ;-)

According to the Telegraph some people on benefits earn more than the minimum wage - rather than cutting benefits again, this time, could we increase the minimum wage?

@elliechowns.bsky.social should we be pushing to get our three train lines electrified to improve our service and make it sustainable rather than build a bypass around Hereford?

Sewage sludge spread on our farms is a covert route for chemical pollution, experts warn🚨

UK Government must ban PFAS-polluted sludge, & take action to cut down on all non-essential uses of these harmful chemicals🧪

Israeli plan for forced transfer of Gaza’s population ‘a blueprint for crimes against humanity’ Military ordered to turn ruins of Rafah into ‘humanitarian city’ but experts call the plan an internment camp for all Palestinians in Gaza

Horrified by the Israeli govt’s plan to force Gaza’s population into effectively an internment camp in Rafah—a blueprint for crimes against humanity. The UK govt must use every diplomatic, legal, and economic tool to stop this atrocity, uphold international law and protect Palestinian rights.

Tony Blair thinks we can’t get to net zero, looks like he also thinks we can’t get to a two state solution - a Palestinian homeland. This idea, to buy Gaza from its residents and create a playground for the biggest global companies and hyper rich - is peak capitalism.

Trump’s attacks on Iran are another hugely dangerous escalation.

Unjustified, illegal, provocative; they make the world less safe, not more.

The UK must condemn these attacks and make clear it will provide no support.

A Boeing 747 burns approximately 5 gallons of fuel and produces 5.25 tonnes (5250 kg) of CO2 per mile. The high fuel consumption of the 747 contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions.

We haven’t time to just plant trees whilst we still burn wood to heat ourselves, generate electricity from gas, drive petrol cars, fly & bbq. Lifestyle changes are urgently needed supported by green policies in order to avoid a potential tipping point in climate change.
