"Welcome to sewage-on-sea: Britain's most fashionable tourist hotspot Whitstable is being despoiled by floods of effluent pouring into the ocean, just as the taps in homes and businesses run dry."

People in Whitstable and Kent really do get it from both ends, your sewage is dumped on to local beaches and your tap water gets cut off simply because the water company can't keep your supply running. Bloody hell.

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

So much performative guff about Irish GDP. We’ve known for a decade it’s a poor measurement of the domestic economy so the CSO introduced GNI* & MDD. Eurostat could easily publish an ex-Ireland index if they wanted to instead we get ‘wow, get a load of this’ takes.

MPs are told that some student loans in England can be compared to major financial scandals like car finance and PPI. The man making the claim is Sir Philip Augar and he's with me @Moneybox @BBCRadio4 midday

@RobPocock1 @Bobby_Alden @rogerbhx Rubbish. @brumlabour didn’t have the balls to stand up to Starmer & the NEC so refused to take part in coalition talks. You abdicated your responsibility to the city. And have been left with nothing.

On average, I receive around one request to peer review a research paper each day, all of which are unpaid. The academic publishing model is built on the free labour of researchers, resulting in excellent profit margins for the main scientific and medical publishers.
