A reminder to please get yourself checked for prostate cancer if you’re within any of the danger categories!

Early prostate cancer often has no symptoms. Don’t wait to feel unwell.

You’re at higher risk if you:

• are above the age of 45.
• have any suspicious symptoms.
• are Black (about 1 in 4 Black men get it, compared with 1 in 8 men overall).
• have a father or brother who had prostate cancer.
• have a BRCA2 gene change, or a strong family history of prostate, breast, ovarian or pancreatic cancer.

If that sounds like you, speak to your GP from age 45. Other men can ask from 50.
There is no routine NHS screening for all men. You can still ask your GP for a PSA blood test. Talk through the pros and cons first - a raised PSA does not always mean cancer.

Book that chat this week. Catching it early makes treatment far more effective.

For advice: Prostate Cancer UK, or speak to your GP.

@MartinSLewis @MoneySavingExp this is the fix for gas on offer from @OctopusEnergy .
I’m with their Intelligent Octopus go for electric for my EV. Is it worth fixing - 10% increase on current ?

How the public can help back British farming!🇬🇧

British farming will not be saved by warm words on Back British Farming Day and forgotten in the supermarket aisle the rest of the year. The public already trusts farmers. The practical test is whether that trust becomes a market - and a political signal - that making food here, to British standards, is still worth doing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

1. Buy British on purpose -

Look for clear UK origin, the Red Tractor logo, and the British Lion mark on eggs. “Packed in the UK” is not the same as grown or reared here. Where price allows, choose British meat, dairy, potatoes, cereals, veg and fruit first. Consumer demand is what keeps supermarket buyers committed to UK supply. Awareness of Red Tractor is now around three-quarters of adults - use the mark.

2. Shorten the chain -

Farm shops, farmers’ markets, veg-box schemes, pick-your-own and direct meat boxes put more of the retail price with the producer. Ask who grew it. Most local sellers will tell you.

3. Eat with the British seasons -

Asparagus in spring, berries in summer, brassicas and roots in winter, British apples in autumn. Seasonal buying reduces pressure for out-of-season imports and matches what UK growers can actually supply well.

4. Ask when you eat out -

Pubs, cafés, restaurants and workplace canteens respond to customers. “Is the beef British?” and “Do you use British milk and eggs?” are fair questions. Repeat custom for places that can answer yes is more powerful than a one-off complaint.

5. Push public kitchens -

Schools, hospitals, care homes and councils buy food at scale. Many people already think those kitchens should serve more UK-grown food. Write to the head teacher, governors, trust or councillor. Public procurement that prefers British produce to equivalent standards is one of the highest-leverage changes available.

6. Cut waste -

Wasted British food wastes the farmer’s work, water, feed and fertiliser. Planning meals, storing produce properly and using leftovers is unglamorous support, but it is real.

7. See a farm -

Open Farm Sunday and farm open days close the gap between field and fridge. People who understand how food is produced are more likely to pay for standards rather than only for the lowest sticker price.

8. Amplify farmers, not just slogans -

Follow actual farmers and organisations such as the NFU. Share what they are dealing with — weather, disease, input costs, labelling — without turning every post into a culture war. Quiet, factual support reaches people who will never attend a rally.

9. Tell your MP -

Trade deals, import standards, planning for reservoirs and livestock buildings, seasonal labour, and whether public money rewards food production as well as environmental goods all get decided in Westminster and the devolved capitals. A short, specific email beats a vague social-media pile-on.

A note on cost -

Household budgets are tight. Nobody should be lectured for buying what they can afford. The useful habit is a hierarchy: British when the difference is small; British for the items where standards matter most to you (often meat, eggs and dairy); local or seasonal when you can. Even switching a few weekly staples adds up across millions of baskets.

Clarkson’s Farm won an NTA this evening. But in my mind, people were voting for farmers in general. Not just us.

@EMA_Airport any update on the root cause of the baggage belt failures that left thousands of holiday makers without luggage last week? What are the learnings? What’s your CEO said about it ?

@emilyhewertson I will be voting tactically next time to remove Labour. Whether that means @Conservatives or @reformparty_uk .

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

I arrived home after three weeks overseas to find all my power out, my gas cut off etc.

Turns out while I was away - without my consent or knowledge - my supplier has been switched from @OctopusEnergy to @BritishGasHelp - and then the power cut off.

What happened? Turns out the date my supplier seemingly switched without consent or knowledge, is the date my new next door neighbour moved in and signed up to British Gas.

There has been the most almighty cock up - where clearly MY electricity and gas has been cut off in the process.

And here I am, finally back through my front door exhausted after a long trip abroad - outside of office hours - with a melted fridge, depleting batteries, and god knows what else.

How on earth does a cock up like this even happen?

[Terry Cooke 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇮🇱 @tezcooke]

@JackMcL96535004 @emilyhewertson @GBNEWS I think it was necessary to avoid ending up like Greece! That said it was unpopular and probably police cuts went too far. Easy to say that with the benefit of hindsight.

[Terry Cooke 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇮🇱 @tezcooke]

@Eyeswideopen21 @TUIUK @EMA_Airport What’s really shocking is that @EMA_Airport who caused the problem haven’t even had the courtesy to reply!!!

[Terry Cooke 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇮🇱 @tezcooke]

@TUIUK disappointed that 12 hours after departing @EMA_Airport without our luggage to Majorca the reps here don’t even know if the airport have fixed the baggage belts let alone tell us when when we might see our bags. No change of clothes, no toiletries, nothing.

[Terry Cooke 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇮🇱 @tezcooke]

@EMA_Airport Hi. We’re in Majorca and 36hrs later no luggage. A day of holiday spent searching for shops for essentials. How can an airport not have a UPS and skilled engineers that can reboot a system? Do you not keep spares? I spent 20 years in engineering and never seen such a shambles.

"In the first five months of 2026, there were 7,280 incidents of water firms in England and Wales dumping sewage, chemicals, and other pollutants on days of little or no rainfall."

Oh look, they lied, AGAIN. "We only do it during heavy rain to stop sewage flooding into people's houses."
