Despite Government targets, public confidence in our waterways is sinking.

We must hold these water companies accountable and clean up our water now.

A quote graphic from Ed Davey: Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza is abhorrent and it's increasingly clear that his goal is ethnic cleansing. The UK can't just sit on its hands. The Prime Minister must stop all arms exports to Israel and sanction Netanyahu and his cabinet.

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio at S&P 500 companies last year was 285-to-1. The median employee would have had to start working in the year 1740 to earn what the average CEO received in 2024. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

'This is child trafficking' — Russia launches 'catalog' of Ukrainian children for adoption, sorted by eye and hair color "Parents of some of them were killed by occupation authorities, others were simply issued Russian identification documents to legitimize their abduction," said Mykola Kuleba, head of the Save Ukraine ...

⚡️ Save Ukraine works to rescue children listed in Russia’s adoption ‘catalog,’ spox says.

For me a fully taxpayer funded #NHS free at point of use is a firm red line. We must not vote for ANY candidate who won't commit to this. Ask them about this when they come knocking. #TakeBackOurHealthcare #uninsurable #RebuildTheNHS

Is the UK tiptoeing back towards Brussels? Is the UK government quietly easing its position on EU-UK food regulatory alignment to stimulate growth without attracting ‘Brexit betrayal’ accusations?

However the government decides to talk about it, closer alignment with the EU is good for our economy, and good for the British people. But the further & faster we get there - the better.

The Trump gang don't just want to make different decisions, they feel the urge to destroy data, information, wisdom, and the physical means of gathering and building them.

"Senior Lib Dems are 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 pissed off - they feel the media are so desperate to prove they’re not ignoring Farage that they’re ignoring everyone else.

Why does it appear the biggest third party in decades is being overlooked compared to Reform?

Rupert Lowe mistakes charity rowers for illegal migrants The independent MP alerted the coastguard about a small boat off Great Yarmouth, which was crewed by a team of four including a former Royal Marine

Farage is caught lying again.
The £16 million savings in Kent County Councils budget were part of a plan by the previous administration and had nothing to do with the current Reform U.K. administration.

I know it doesn't seem to matter to anyone making these bullshit laws, but for the record, there is still no evidence of any kind that allowing trans people to enter and use the "single sex spaces" appropriate for their actual gender has ever caused a single other law to be broken.

I am incandescent at reports that EHRC bullshit could end up as law. It's an excuse to wipe trans people from public life. Because if a trans man can't use the gents because he was AFAB, and can't use the ladies because he looks like the man he is, what does he do?

Screenshot of an email: Hi Rachel, Thank you for contacting us about the article you’ve seen. We want our stores to be inclusive and welcoming places for our colleagues and customers. We have written to this customer and explained that our colleagues typically work across all departments in our stores and customers can always ask to speak to the colleague they feel most comfortable with. We also explained that our colleague was asking a customer if they needed help; they were not working on bra fit or offering this. Thank you again for getting in touch.

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

UK media are covering up British spy flights for Israel Britain’s obedient defence correspondents are refusing to report a story of clear public interest in the middle of a genocide.

Did you know❓

Until this week, Britain’s mainstream media had not carried out a single investigation into the more than 500 RAF spy flights over Gaza👇

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR by Our Apocalypse Staff HELENA HANDCART THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode. It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services, not to mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed). Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that...

No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

This week, negotiations are underway in Geneva for a Global Plastics Treaty.

I urged the UK Government to show leadership at these talks: back legally-binding targets to cut plastic production and protect people, not polluters. 👇

These airdrops are little more than PR. Feeding very few, killing too many & fuelling chaos on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Gaza “Humanitarian” Foundation is offering food by firing squad. And 1000s of tons sit rotting on the border.

This airdrop landed on a tent killing 3 children on July 30.

NEW: The daily, deadly humiliation of airdrops continue in Gaza.

A six year old was crushed to death yesterday by falling aid and a whole family were killed in their tent last week.

And now this in Gaza City this morning. Multiple injuries reported.

EU dismayed that Trump has not put “a single iota of pressure” on Putin The Washington Post has reported that European capitals were left bewildered after news broke that US President Donald Trump is planning to meet with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.
