This is Boro. He went missing in southern Spain after the horrific train derailment that killed 43 and injured 150. After four long days, he was captured by firefighters and has finally been reunited with his family.

You are safe again buddy 🐶❤️‍🩹.

The whole Portman Hunt field watched the killing of a fox today and convicted huntsman Shaun Marles blew his horn to hunt the hounds on right up until the moment of the kill. @DorsetMonitor

Wishing you a gentle week 🐾🤍

How long will they have to run for before this Govt acts on banning trail hunting?!

We just love dogs, this one is amazing!

This dog gives a whole new meaning to FUR MISSILE!!! 😳

[North Dorset Hunt Saboteurs @NDHuntSabs]

The Portman Hunt KILLED this poor fox today, chasing them to complete exhaustion over horrendously wet terrain. The poor little thing had no chance and seemed completely disoriantated at the end, inexplicably making a fatal error turning back along the hedge into hounds

He wasn’t lost; he knew exactly where he was going. 🌊🐧

Sometimes, leaving the crowd behind is the only way to find paradise.

Planting Flower Bulbs Using Egg Cartons....I've done this many times. Plus started cuttings/seeds in toilet rolls packed with mix, then when ready, shove straight into the ground or pot.

Palantir have been awarded a contract for NHS data.

Yes, the same Palantir that:
🔵 Supported mass deportation in the US
🔵 Enabled genocide in Gaza
🔵 Who's founder claims the NHS "makes people sick"

We can’t let a company like this take control of our healthcare system and our personal data.

Find out if your local trust is using Palantir 👇

[La Sagrada Família @sagradafamilia]

Today the third horizontal arm of the cross of the tower of Jesus Christ, facing the apse, has been placed. 🙌 In the coming days, the installation of the fourth and final horizontal arm will be completed, a key milestone that brings us closer to the culmination of the tower with the future placement of the upper arm and, inside it, the sculpture of Agnus Dei. 🔜

WARNING! Carers, don't trust your council's info on Carer's Council Tax Discount, more than 1 in 5 councils' online info (Eng & Wal) is wrong. They miss crucial extra eligibility criteria which makes many who are eligible for a 25% or 50% discount think they aren't.

This is likely crapness not conspiracy. Staggeringly, my guess is the cause is that most haven't updated their sites since the rules changed in 2013! And gov uk while not incorrect, does not have the full info either, making it worse.

Carers Council Tax Discount is for the up to 5m people who care, unpaid, over 35hours a week for someone (not spouse / child under 18) who is eligible. Oft its adult children caring for parents, parents for adult children, or siblings caring

FULL STORY & LIST OF COUNCILS HERE: https://t.co/VYhS82jCd4

My official quote...

"Unpaid carers can't trust councils' information about Carers' Council Tax discounts. All Carers who thought they weren't eligible after checking councils' websites should check again (use Carers UK's help pages). If you did miss out due to councils' poor info, ask for a backdated discount to the point of first eligibility, though different councils have different rules.

"Thirty-five hours a week of unpaid caring is no small feat. This army of up to five million carers provides a silent and often un-thanked backbone that takes a burden off the NHS and care system – reducing the cost to the state.

"While it's often done out of love, that doesn't mean it isn't hard. And while this discount isn't means-tested, many who are caring, unpaid, for at least 35 hours a week, are almost certainly under a great deal of financial stress. So, the idea that they're being misled about £100s a year in discounts from their own councils really sticks in the craw.

"This is made worse by the fact the main Gov uk pages about Council Tax don't list the qualifying benefits for the discount – making it harder for taxpayers in England to work out whether they might be eligible.

"We are writing to all the councils involved to ask them to urgently update their websites and to ensure their internal policies are compliant. I will also be reporting this information lapse to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. It should work with councils on a clear plan to guarantee that Council Tax information is clear, accurate and accessible.

"Major incident declared as thousands without water in Kent and Sussex."

Bearing in mind that South East Water leak about 80,000,000 litres of water each and ever day from their badly maintained, underinvested, creaky old network of pipes.

That's enough water to supply about 560,000 homes.
