Wow, I still remember when it was recommended to buy mackerel instead of other fish to prevent the populations of other fish from collapsing :(

This should be the No.1 case study in privatisation. Private water companies pumped human waste in British waterways & ran off with all the money.

Ahahaha what do they think happened to all those horses that used to pull carriages? Did they all go to live on a farm upstate? 😂

Reform gains by being seen as "prepared to do what others won't". When the current government pushes ever more rightwards with hostile policies it means those who deliberately position themselves to the right of Labour have to go even farther to maintain their claim for their positions. 2/3

“This policy doesn’t target people who broke the rules. It targets people who trusted them.”

Very dramatic!

I have no particular knowledge nor interest in Palantir, but as a public procurement lawyer looking closely at the public domain documents about the MoD-Palantir contracts, there is something concerning going on.

Two successive high value tenders without advertisements or competition?

A dead Puffin lies on wet sand, its black and white feathers darkened and slick against the beach. The bird rests on its side, wings folded, with its distinctive orange bill clearly visible against the pale sand.

Heartbreaking: Right now, thousands of Puffins are washing up along our coasts and further afield.

It is devastating to see.

These birds are Red-listed in the UK and already under serious pressure.

Mass deaths like this, known as a “seabird wreck”, can take years for colonies to recover from...

We provided key evidence in every case the European Commission has opened so far. And yet, despite the major societal stakes and fines in the hundreds of millions of euros, there is no proper institutional funding mechanism to support this work.

🟢 MEPs in the Interest Group on Civil Society pledge to support, protect and meaningfully engage CSOs, reaffirming our essential role.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

It was such a chilling listen.

It really feels like getting rid of McSweeney gave back the UK government some of its spine

This looks great!

Wow. The reasons to change the system don't seem to be strong enough to launch something missing so many basic functions
