England has had the second worst harvest on record. This is what erratic weather because of a heating climate does. We are genuinely walking into a calamity beyond comprehension. 40 years of ignored warnings. eciu.net/media/press-...

Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk.
It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.

A new Birmingham City Council scrutiny report has highlighted the enormous financial burden of road harm, with road casualties costing around £205 million in Birmingham EVERY year.
The current status quo is not only unacceptable on a human level but also economically ruinous.

Can't believe Lloyds Bank. We are a community fridge with a treasurers account of £1000 donated by the town for running costs. Lloyds are changing it to a 'community' account and now charging £4.25 monthly .. a lot on our small budget. Talk about taking the biscuit!
