Significant

The murder of a woman by a police officer appears to hold little overall value (or political manipulation)

However add in an ethnicity factor against a male then it is full on agenda based politics

@RoslynByfield Contravenes employment laws methinks! And I'm not a lawyer, but how on earth is it possible for Brine to unilaterally withdraw the land from the business, when the business is a *partnership*? Surely the other partners would have to agree to that course of action?🤔#TheArchers

@yvan_theriault It's nothing new, there have been numerous similar products derived from plants with the same qualities and capacities (including biodegradability) around for decades! #renewables #conservation #sustainability #EcoFriendly

@AmandaAmanda_17 @RoslynByfield @lidlkim @100707 @LMSBOSSY He's Brian's stepson, son of his beloved Jenni-dahling - and that's how much he cares? She'd be turning in her grave #TheArchers Adam was pretty sh1t there, but Brian was worse - "You're not even my children". What a [*redacted*]

@lidlkim The only one who came out of that with any credit whatsoever was Alice. Adam, Debbie and Brian deserve each other. Credit to the (new?) scriptwriter though for dropping a bomb underneath #TheArchers - I know now what the continuity announcer meant when he said "hold your breath"!

21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost their seats. That's approximately 99 Reform UK representatives gone - and 22 of them in the two weeks since the local elections alone. The party won 1,440 council seats in May.

The people leaving or being removed include councillors suspended for Islamophobic posts, alleged racist content, an OnlyFans, an internal war that went public and a stream of resignations.

The party claims its vetting is "some of the strongest in the country."

Does the evidence support that?

The ultimate minimalist exercise for a busy day: Mountain Climbers.

In a single 60-second burst, you hit three distinct biological targets:

1. Absolute core stabilization
2. Lower-body muscular endurance
3. An immediate cardiovascular heart-rate spike

No equipment. No driving to a gym. Just pure, efficient movement to break up a sedentary desk day. Drop and give it a try right now. 🔍

Since 19th March - 67 votes in Parliament

Farage has not voted in a single one

£8216 per month before tax paid by the taxpayer

2 months of achieving net zero for those who voted him in to Clacton

He is just laughing at the taxpayer

A rare Pampas cat, also known as a colocolo, that lives in the forests of Chile.
With fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild, experts call Muñoa's pampas cat one of the most endangered felines in the world and warn it go extinct within 10 years as its natural habitat is cleared for cropland.

Cada 20 de mayo, el planeta recuerda una verdad inquietante: gran parte de nuestra comida depende de pequeños insectos que están desapareciendo silenciosamente.

Las abejas sostienen cultivos esenciales mediante la polinización. Sin ellas, frutas, verduras, semillas y frutos secos comenzarían a escasear rápidamente.

Actualmente, los científicos reconocen más de 20 mil especies de abejas distribuidas en ecosistemas extremadamente distintos alrededor del mundo.

Muchas viven lejos de colmenas comerciales y cumplen funciones clave manteniendo bosques, flores silvestres y cadenas alimentarias completas en equilibrio.

Sin embargo, pesticidas, cambio climático, contaminación y pérdida de hábitat están reduciendo peligrosamente numerosas poblaciones de abejas en varios continentes.

El problema preocupa porque más del 75% de los cultivos alimentarios del mundo dependen de los polinizadores para producirse adecuadamente.

Si desaparecieran, millones de plantas dejarían de reproducirse normalmente y la biodiversidad mundial sufriría alteraciones difíciles de revertir.

Por eso, los científicos advierten que proteger a las abejas también significa proteger la alimentación y estabilidad ecológica humana.

Didn't take long, did it?

#Reform's Candidate in #Makerfield, Robert Kenyon, has his X account suspended for racist replies to a constituent, support of British Union of Fascists, and incitement to hatred & violence.

He 'mothballed' his Facebook, I guess, for the same reasons.

@Rainmaker1973 A dog fell into a creek and was carried away by the current. A man jumps into the water and rescues him.
Kindness is not thought of, it is shown. 🙏

The record for this rescued dog at the shelter said she liked two things: water and sand. So the first thing her new owner did after adopting her was take her to the beach…

@harrivasara @CrazyVibes_1 Yep. The baby is very healthy looking and clean in contrast to the story, which described her as near death. The story also said the soldier kept her inside his jacket for warmth. The image of the baby in the photo looks very shopped in.
