There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.
Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

New figures by the Bank of England demonstrate how much of a negative impact Brexit has had on the UK economy. Trade weakness combined with uncertainty has decreased our GDP, Investment, Employment, and Productivity, resulting in a negative decline for the UK compared to our European neighbours.

I often think of the Irish word for the environment – comhshaol, meaning "shared life," which I think captures the interconnectedness at the heart of environmental sustainability.
The first letter is beith, meaning birch. There’s dair meaning oak, coll, meaning hazel, and so on.
The word for photography, grianghrafadóireacht, literally means to make a chart of the sun.
