Eternal memory 🫡🙏

A combat medic in the Ukrainian army, Daria Filipiieva dedicated her life to saving others❤️‍🩹.

She served with the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade, the International Legion, and finally the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Air Assault Forces. She was deeply committed to helping on the front lines.🫡

Daria was awarded the "Steel Cross" for her courage and service to Ukraine🇺🇦.

"No one who passed through my hands died."- Daria added

She saved lives at the front right up until her final day.
This brave sergeant died on August 3. 2023 during combat mission in Zaporizhzhia region 💔

Rest in peace, heroine 🫡🙏

"United Utilities launches major £4.8m investment in Troutbeck."

That headline should of course read "Water company spends £4.8 million of bill payers money on complying with the law".

And they want a round of applause of that @ImogenGBarber

"Welsh Water faces £44.7m 'enforcement package' for sewage failings."

The most abhorrent part in all of all of this is that Ofwat has just admitted that since 1994 when the sewage treatment regulations were introduced Welsh Water, like every other sewage company in the UK have been breaking the law.

That's 37 years of illegal activity, 37 years of incompetence, 37 years of failure, 37 years of the gross, violent, decimation of our rivers and beaches.

Where's the justice for them, where's the justice for bill players, where's the accountability, why aren't Ofwat's board now being prosecuted for misconduct in public office?

@CHCW1 @BenjiNaesen So true the commentary is useless

[Jules @mrgryff]

@BenjiNaesen ridiculous

"Thames Water investors say temporary nationalisation would slow its recovery."

Thames Water still trying to bully tax payers and bill payers I see.

Govt should hang up and tell them to clear off, there is no "market solution" to this mess.

I’m an immigrant who’s lived and worked in the UK for 16 years. I have a North American accent and I’m white.

I’ve never once been told to ‘go back’ to my ‘shithole country’ or to ‘stop stealing jobs from British people’.

You’re not concerned about immigration. You’re racist.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Brilliant, brilliant exposé by Alex Thomson @alextomo on @Channel4News last night, blowing the lid of the corrupt, and it is corruption of the @EnvAgency allowing water companies to walk away from criminal charges, jail time, unlimited fines and all for nothing more than a slap on the wrist and some blood money paid to local charities.

It's time to put an end to this nonsense, it's time to hold people to account, it's time to send the fat cats to jail.

I’m sure we have all now seen the footage of Metropolitan rozzers kicking a suspected terrorist in the head, repeatedly, when he was down.

We can all play a part in putting an end to this sort of police brutality. Mainly by not going around stabbing people.

[The Bee Guy @the_beeguy]

At the top end of the sanctuary we have a right of way along a neighbouring field to the road that runs through the local village. We walk our youngest to school this way.
The field was sprayed a number of weeks back to ‘prepare’ the ground for ploughing, harrowing etc.

Congratulations Saab and goid decision EU…. UK MOD you know what to do @10DowningStreet

For nearly four decades, NATO’s eyes in the sky have been American. The Boeing E-3 Sentry, a militarized 707 with a rotating radar dish on top, has been the alliance’s airborne early warning backbone since the 1980s. Washington built it. Washington sold it. Washington serviced it.
That era ended this week.

NATO’s Support and Procurement Agency has selected the Swedish Saab GlobalEye to replace all 14 of the alliance’s aging E-3 aircraft, in a deal worth around 5 billion euros. The contract goes to Sweden and Canada. Not a single American company involved.

The decision follows the US cancelling its own E-7 Wedgetail procurement in June 2025, shifting instead toward satellite surveillance under the Golden Dome concept. When Washington pulled out, it assumed NATO would wait. NATO didn’t wait.

The GlobalEye uses a fixed AESA radar rather than the E-3’s rotating dish, enabling faster target detection across air, sea, and land at ranges exceeding 550 kilometres, with endurance of over 13 hours per sortie. It is smaller, cheaper to operate, and requires fewer crew. Unit cost sits at roughly 550 million euros, against significantly higher estimates for the E-7.
France had already ordered two. Poland and Germany were circling. Now NATO has formalised it for the whole alliance.

Trump spent 14 months telling Europe to spend more on defence and rely less on America. Europe listened. He just didn’t expect them to mean it quite so literally.
