I'm fuming to read this! 🤬
Year in and year out this kind of crap happens in the summer, when most birds are already breeding, not just with Swifts, but with all birds! 😒
Birds and their nests are protected by law, but the law is clearly inadequate and is riddled with loopholes that councils, builders, farmers... anyone really, can exploit. 😡
Yet still some wonder why the UK is the most nature depleted place on earth...

£58,133 Starting salary for a newly qualified PA who hasn't studied medicine. Fully qualified resident Dr will be paid £18.62 per hr. They're asking for £4 more. @jamesmurray_ldn, explain to me how you can justify this? PAs giving 2nd rate care, rewarded with top rate pay.

Gary Stevenson, This was the country that introduced the proportional income, the, the progressive income tax"

"Didn't exist. We did it here in this country, and look at what we did. Look at what we achieved"

"Listen, my grandmother was born here in this city in the 1920s, in the richest city, in the richest country in the history of the world, and three of her siblings died of tuberculosis"

"That is what happens when you don't deal with your inequality"

"Surrounded by desperate poverty. And in the course of her lifetime, just one lifetime, we moved from that kind of country where ordinary hardworking people see their kids die of poverty"

"To the world that my dad grew up in, where he worked for the post office for thirty-five years, bought a house, had a pension, had a retirement, had three kids, financial security, good quality education, good quality healthcare, good quality housing"

"We did that in the course of one woman's lifetime with no historical precedent of it ever happening before"

"So don't tell me it's impossible"

"Unsurprisingly, when The New Statesman published ‘Six things we learned from the Mandelson files’, the fact that its editor was featured as a pal of both the man himself and Morgan McSweeney didn’t make the cut."

Ok, the Environment Agency is really taking the mick now.

The photograph they are using below is of the Stapleford Tawney illegal waste site, next to the River Roding near Epping. They were informed about this site in February 2025, but did absolutely nothing and allowed illegal waste dumping to continue for a whole year. It was only in February 2026, when I organised a petition & got the media down to the site that they even bothered to close off the entrance & get a legal closure order.

So the EA apparently want members of the public to report serious waste crime so they can sit there & do naff all about it? Even now, they aren’t doing any testing to see if the site is contaminating ground water & the River Roding. They have also given no commitment to clearing up the site whatsoever. Will the EA agree to remove all of this rubbish that they allowed to be dumped on this site next to our river, or do they just plan to leave it there forever to rot?

How is this 'watering down assessments'? No-one gets a PIP award without an assessment. Constantly reviewing people with verified, medically proven incurable and progressive illness is a waste of tax payers money, private profits for companies carrying out those pointless reviews

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

In the last 5 years...

- Energy bills have shot up by 54%
- Food prices are up by 39%

But wages? Just 36%.
And Universal Credit has risen by only 31%.

Costs are rising so much faster than incomes. THIS is why people are struggling to survive right now. 💔

🗣️ | "This is an excellent report and highlights the warnings we've been making for years, that Palantir’s FDP provides poor value for money from a company with ethical values a million miles away from those of the NHS."
We welcome MPs' findings on Palantir's role in the NHS.

This is utterly heartbreaking- what is wrong with developers?
The swifts are seen trying to return to their nests and the nests are no longer there

💊Your face scanned to pick up your prescription

Facial recognition firm @Facewatch is planning to expand its Orwellian face-scanning operation to NHS-linked pharmacies

This is an unacceptable intrusion into people's privacy & one step away from surveillance in hospitals

We're calling on pharmacies to reject facial recognition

A committee of MPs has warned against the involvement of US tech company Palantir in public services.

The Commons Science Committee said Palantir's role in the NHS and other departments is an "unacceptable point of weakness".

A more technical summary from Alex Wilson, partner at RPC, as to how Charlie Elphicke — the criminal who sued us for correctly reporting he was under investigation for sexual offences and is an alleged rapist — used every means possible to avoid paying legal costs to the Sunday Times — which paid >£500,000 to defend its public interest reporting.
