This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”.
Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise.
And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

Far enough into Metroid Prime 4 now to say it's good, really, really good. If you are on the fence just go for it.
Will need at least two playthroughs to begin to compare it to the others but, at the very least, it earns its place.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords.
This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is, as expected, a masterpiece of gothic excess. But above all else it is a hugely sympathetic portrait that understands Mary Shelley's creature. The film asks for understanding to all those cast aside, neglected. It is a film not of absolution, but hope.
