"29 Devon beaches hit with more sewage alerts after heavy rain."

Did I mention that the @EnvAgency stopped testing water quality at the end of Sep and won't start again until the beginning of May next year?

For the next 7 months you're on your own.

And here's another short survey: if we're going to protect the environment from the adverse effects of all the chemicals and medicines we use, we need to understand more about how and why we use them. If you're a pet owner, just scan the code and give it a go!

"Our wealth is being transferred to the super rich. The oligarchs are running the country right now and they're running it for their benefit, not the benefit of the people. There is a stench of corruption in this society."

Obama really drives home the point that we got to adapt our safety nets to make sure our democracy stays strong in the face of automation's massive impact.

We need #BasicIncome, an updated safety net in a time of automation.

Dear 🇬🇧,

As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit.

[@99organisation.bsky.social @99Organisation]

We need the NHS.

New analysis from @99Organisation proves we can't afford NOT to fund it properly.

But are MPs listening? Here's how you can help: https://t.co/t0zEd5nPJW

"A properly funded NHS is sustainable. A failed NHS will cripple the UK economy."

We agree with every word of this.

Please RT if you do too.

Dear @RishiSunak
This morning you said you hadn't read the report into Boris Johnson.

Now that you have, and seen the depth of his dishonour and disgrace, please could you ask his Majesty to withdraw Johnson’s Honours List. A dishonoured PM shouldn't be allowed to submit a list
