Inside the new repairability scores for smartphones and tablets in the EU The EU energy label for these devices now includes scores aimed at drawing consumers to products that are easier to fix.

Only a fraction of electric and electronic equipment – around 4 million tonnes– is recycled and prepared for reuse. Optimising these processed would reduce demand for both extraction and production, and slow down resource loops.

New ICB figures show uneven trends on use of private sector? - The Lowdown New figures published earlier this month show the extent to which some Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) have increased their use of the private sector since Labour took office last July, and the extent t...

NHS increased use of the private sector under Labour govt.

Private sector delivered 22.1% of ophthalmic, 20.5% of orthopaedic procedures.

Numbers of NHS patients treated by private sector up by 10%.

With profit margins of up to 40% money buys less.

More efficient to expand NHS capacity.

I can attest to the accuracy of the BHPSs statement as needed to re-establish a garden fence that had blown down. It had a mound of leaves against one side. I tried to move it and prickled my hand - it was a hedgehog - they live fallen leaves!!

Luckily had made a box for him…

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the Β£232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the Β£14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Is it time for public ownership?
