3 billion litres of water were wasted *every day* in England and Wales between 2021-2023 due to leaky infrastructure (Lib Dem research)

It's equivalent to 1,200 Olympic sized swimming pools a day.

Tad insulting for the Govt to suggest deleting emails as a way to save water, in the context...

I feel the BBC and the UK government need to hear this.

Racist views are not and never can be regarded as ‘legitimate concerns’.

Dotty was adopted from the streets of the UAE to a lovely country home in Beds. She has just been returned to me because she didn’t get on with their other cat. I’m urgently seeking a loving and experienced owner for her. She MUST be the only pet. If you know anyone, put me in touch please 😿

Here are some cliff notes. And I find it interesting how much policy that's been around for decades they blame on Biden.

Shame on Labour for putting our police in this position

We’re not sure who needs to hear this, but ‘blueberry’ has two b’s.

I hope you have fun plans!

A room: on left wall is tv with a fire screen(? not sure what it is called) beneath. Beyond this, along the far wall is a closet, a built in desk and a window. In front of the window is a sofa bed for a family member and then the bed for resident. The medical equipment to assist with mobility is hidden in the ceiling and in the wooden coving.

My Dad was waiting for a place in a hospice and was lucky to be transferred this week from a four in a room hospital ward to a single suite in a 12 bed, purpose-built charity-run hospice.

Telegraph showed 'lack of care' with headline: 'Quarter of UK sex crimes carried out by foreigners' The Telegraph found in breach of Editors’ Code with headline claiming a quarter of sex crimes in UK are carried out by “foreigners”.

Telegraph rapped for headline 'Quarter of UK sex crimes carried out by foreigners'

Turns out the figure was actually 15%, with a further 8% recorded by unknown nationalities - with the Telegraph said 'was likely to largely include non-British nationals'

Not quite how the headline put it, is it?

Recognise Palestine Now. Scottish Greens.

Labour are using Palestinian lives as a bargaining chip, telling Israel that if it behaves, then Starmer won't recognise Palestine.

Over 60,000 Palestinians have been murdered by Israel in Gaza, playing political games with a genocide is barbaric.

Recognise Palestine NOW! 🇵🇸

IT is a poison, isn’t it?
