Absolutely shocking.
We're offering an overall award of £10k for information that leads to a conviction in these cases.
We need to make raptor persecution a thing of the past.

Terrifying that Wes Streeting continues to try and pressurise hospitals into giving patient data to Palantir.

"What is emerging about Nigel Farage is not a single stupid comment or heated moment. Former classmates are describing a pattern of behaviour. Not just a bully, but a racist bully of the ugliest kind, directing hatred at black and Jewish pupils as a kind of sport."

'If Nigel Farage's Racism Is Forgotten It Will Give Him Permission for Far Worse'

So what if they weaken ECHR human rights protections? So what if they interpret protection from torture differently? Will that improve services? Help the NHS? Bring better food, air & education? Eradicate poverty?
Crushing rights is the most destructive distraction from the wrongs that need fixing.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Hey UK Labour government! Is this really who we want running our NHS data management systems?
Holy smokes! If you acted like Palantir CEO Alex Karp in a corporate meeting, they would report you to HR. Just saying.

In perhaps the least surprising news, ever, it turns out that when my Evri parcel was marked "delivered" on Thursday evening...
That meant "can't find it on the van just mark it as delivered anyway."
I know this because the chap in the shop it was meant to be delivered to overheard the guy say it.

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

A glorious sunset in the Stretton Hills, with mist rolling over the lower slopes of Caer Caradoc. I was standing on the summit, looking out towards the Long Mynd. It wasn't cold up there, but when I headed back down into the mist the temperature dropped very noticeably! A great sight. #Shropshire
