The earlier one has led to a criminal inquiry. No doubt the latter one will too 🤔
Shame on you @thespectator1828.bsky.social Liddle and Gove

Sitting in my tiny courtyard garden, swinging in my egg chair, with a flask of tea, enjoying the last light and warmth of the day, and the birds calling goodnight to each other. What could be finer!

Has anyone signed up for the 1 month free trial of Prospect Magazine? I've tried multiple times and get stuck at the payment authentication stage with a never ending spinner indicator. Had no luck with customer services. I've tried 3 different browsers, and 2 different debit cards. Any ideas?

Why don't you, Severn Trent, keep our rivers and seas clean, avoid the health risks and damage to the environment. Don't funnel the charges we pay upwards to your top managers and shareholders but into improving the infrastructure. Don't lecture us, just do your job!! @severntrentwater.bsky.social
