Fresh fears for South West's rail link in Dawlish after storms Taxpayer money has flowed into fixing the rail line connecting Cornwall with the rest of the UK - but the elements have other ideas.

The Dawlish - Teignmouth railway line feels like the absolute front line of climate adaptation in Britain (a test we are not passing so far).

And yet somehow, somehow, this article manages to go in-depth on the problems with the line without mentioning the climate once. The sea is literally higher!

Polanski is deft at dodging attempts to deflect him, sticking firmly to articulating his main points and preventing them being misrepresented. He bats away false premises & logical fallacies, refusing to allow them any perceived legitimacy.
No wonder Farage so carefully avoids going up against him.

You are choosing to believe Yvette Cooper on this. You may be right to but she has history of not always getting her facts right. I refer to her comments on Palestine Action which seems "wide of the mark".

It appears Yvette Cooper lied when she proscribed Palestine Action. This creates a wider problem than just the lie. Why for example should I believe her when she describes Putin's role in the death of Navalny? Can I trust her to tell the truth?

Welsh charity buys more than 405 hectares for rewilding Project in Ceredigion aims to help country catch up with large-scale nature recovery projects elsewhere in UK A Welsh charity has bought more than 405 hectares (1,000 acres) in Ceredigion to establish Cymru’s β€œflagship” rewilding project, helping the country catch up with large-scale nature recovery projects under way elsewhere in the UK.

A philanthropic bridging loan enabled the sale. Continue reading...

If you've seen the Sunday Times today you'll know Labour Together were secretly hiring people to investigate journalists.

Sadly you won't know that The National broke this story six months ago, since our work is not credited at all.

The ban was justified by Yvette Cooper, who imposed it when she was Home Secretary, on the grounds that she knew some special secrets about PA the rest of us didn't: a shocking abuse of government privilege. She has never produced this "evidence", and we have reasons to believe it does not exist.

This is truly terrifying, like the Nazis we are simply erasing people from existence, and it is happening without anyone questioning it.
