Pedestrian suffers life-changing injuries in Birmingham hit-and-run crash Police are hunting a driver who hit a pedestrian in City Road in North Edgbaston and left him with life-changing injuries

My kids travel along this road every day to get to school.

I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But he’s a billionaire, so we can’t | George Monbiot Money talks – and his essay denouncing ‘near-term emissions goals’ at Cop30 mostly argues the case for letting the ultra-rich off the hook

This week's column is on Billionaire Brain: the condition which seems to prevent extremely rich people from perceiving the utterly bleeding obvious.

Unfortunately no one will be surprised.
Why aren’t the powers that be - here in the U.K. - take action against the people that have (and are continuing) to destroy the country?

Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People.
