As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf.
Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

Very far from the first time. Multiple findings of breaches of Article 3 in immigration detention. See my comment on the post for links. Not to mention the cases the Home Office conceded & paid damages on, including where disclosure is prohibited by the terms of the settlement.
The justice secretary David Lammy and his predecessor Shabana Mahmood were found by the High Court yesterday to have breached article 3 of the human rights convention, which prohibits inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
