Water companies dumping toxic sewage sludge on UK farms. It can be packed with microplastics and harmful chemicals: sludge polluting our rivers, contaminating the soil. We need a guarantee that water companies won’t pass the cost of cleaning up their mess onto bill-payers! act.gp/4kMJRuy

Pleased to report that, after we intimated we would sue it, Ofcom has changed course and will look again at whether TalkTV is complying with the Broadcasting Code.

We said we’d sue over Ofcom’s decision to dismiss 22,000 complaints about transphobia on TalkTV – now the regulator has caved.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

In effect Labour is now out of time for major changes, execrable preparation leading to a government with no particular idea how to use a huge majority. Ironically I suspect their caution follows national opinion - and they're being crushed by it for following it.

Is there any object that has changed less in the last 4000 years than a gaming die? There's an astonishingly human and above all social story around that profound survival.
This terracotta die comes from the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, one of the first urban centres in human history 🎲⠀

Gaming with dice has been a popular pastime in India for millennia, with this object dating back to 2500–1900 BCE.

Out for a run this morning I thought I’d show my appreciation for this GP practice
It has been there for me this year. I’ve needed 4 GP consults, 3 nurse appointments, a referral, 3 hospital letters responded to, blood test, 10 prescriptions
All that for less £150

A government should try to regard its manifesto as a serious and sincere statement of intent, not a document to be interpreted as if it’s a wish made to a cursed monkey paw.
Bloviating about “trust in politics” in this climate is nonsense. The public don’t trust politicians because that’s sensible.

Insane data from Germany shows how social media is geared towards more fringe political views. The left bar shows the share of uploaded videos by party on TikTok and the right bar shows what videos are shown in the feed. Social media loves the extremes and is NOT a fair mirror of reality.
