Helen Whately being wrong again 🤦🏼‍♀️
This is getting boring, at this point.

Why are people like her able to keep their jobs when she’s so incompetent and can’t fact check a single thing? Plus all we pay her in salary, rent, bills etc 🙄

The increase in UC claimants aren’t new claims. They’re people being migrated over from legacy benefits like ESA. The DWP confirms this.

Raising pension age causes pain to millions of people deprived of their earned benefit. It also stops tens of billions of pounds from being spent. This means the people who would have earned that money don't and they don't spend for others. It increases poverty and unemployment.

Tonight's meeting in Auchtertool about the 600MW AI data centre.
Fifers are furious. Looks like Fife Council fast-tracking data centre despite it:
- Consuming half of Scottish household electricity
- No Environmental Impact Assessment EIA
- Looking like it has landed from space

The current protections given to bird nests in the Wildlife & Countryside Act are woefully inadequate & this story by @sandralaville is yet another reason as to why.

The law currently only protect the nests of most birds whilst those nests are in use, so nesting holes used by generations of birds like swifts can be legally destroyed outside nesting season. Even where nests are in active use, it’s hard to get evidence of their destruction & the police do not take such crimes seriously.

We need to change the law to protect the ancestral nesting hole sites of birds like swifts and sand martins when they are not in use & give serious thought to protecting the ancestral nesting habitat of birds like nightingales as well. We also need to set up & fund a proper wildlife police force that takes the destruction of active bird nests seriously.

The clamour to abolish the triple lock has a subtext to force people into private pensions from which the finance sector benefits bigly. The UK state pension is already too low and is now at the personal allowance tax threshold.
It is perfectly affordable.

Cut welfare to the bone and you do not create a stronger economy. You create unpaid bills, empty tills, worsening health, deeper poverty, and more pressure on councils, the NHS, charities, schools, and families. Poverty is expensive. Extreme poverty is even worse.

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...

"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"

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
