Sewage was spilt for 3.614 million hours in 2024.
That's equivalent to 412 outlets, discharging sewage continuously, 24/7, for the whole of the year.
All complacently overseen by the Tory government poodles at Ofwat.
It's time for Labour to create a regulator with teeth!

Can you chip in to help fund the UK's first Temperate Rainforest Research Station?

This is a pioneering project by Cornish farmer Merlin Hanbury-Tenison's Thousand Year Trust (for which I'm an unpaid trustee).

Can anyone tell me how to make Bluesky show me fewer cats? I don’t mind a few, but my timeline seems to have so many. Short of muting everyone who has ever mentioned a feline I don’t know how to reduce them a bit

Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

Meanwhile, the Dartmoor Visitor Centre in Princetown is being forced to close because of a lack of funding, funding that the duchy could provide - without even missing it.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

I always enjoy reading @johnlauner.bsky.social’s writing in the @bmj.com.

Some important reflections on how private medicine (and dentistry) sometimes work.

I too had a recent consultation with an endodontologist. We also agreed to leave well alone!
