@EnvAgency is really plumbing new depths of malevolent uselessness here.

Remember in 2017 when a woman was pushed into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge by a jogger?

Well, a 44-year-old multimillionaire private banker with ties to the Royal Family and a former British Army officer has been arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail"

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "You think we should put them in jail?"

Feargal Sharkey, "If we put one water company boss in jail for six weeks the whole industry would transform itself"

Dirty Business on @Channel4. Brilliantly made, devastating. Water must be nationalised now. The owners of the private water companies jailed.

Targeting healthcare staff is a war crime

If our leaders had a shred of morality left they would be pressuring Israel to release this man.

Two months ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs.

The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.

Now we are getting 15% tariffs on everything.

The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month"

"That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group"

"Alongside Wes Streeting the Health Secretary, close friend of Peter Mandelson"

"I've written to the Health Secretary today to say we have to break that contract"

"The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

"It's a whole range of questions that need answers urgently"

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

The secret offshore owners of £460 billion-worth of property in England and Wales. Brilliant public service. 44% of them evading the law on disclosure of the actual humans who own it (beneficial owners in the jargon). A scandal

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of them then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.
