Saw local teams out in force yesterday. Thank you. So sad that we live in a nation where the kindness of many have to clear up the rubbish caused by a few (irresponsible idiots).
The Great British Spring Clean is on & our roadside verges are certainly in need of attention.
So if you are driving along a road & see ribbons of litter, please tell us.
We, & am sure @heidialexander.bsky.social Minister for Transport, would welcome your report.

Is that not a major part of the problem? Not understanding or caring for the consequences of words.
Not that I want to seem remotely complacent about the US position on Ukraine - it's extremely worrying - but I'm not sure I'd read all that much into every pronouncement of Hesgeth since he seems to be severely cognitively impaired.

A scientist I spoke w/for a story on why the deadliest crises go unseen, is now scared for his life in Congo. He once told me:
“In the DRC, in Somalia, in CAR, in South Sudan, we wonder, are we so different?” he said. “Do we have blue blood and do others have red blood?”

For how long? 1 month, few weeks, full 4 year Trump term?
There's speculation that Donald Trump will demand the UK cuts taxes and red tape on tech giants including X, Amazon and Facebook in return for escaping trade tariffs

Answer to question imho - not the ones on display here.
For the Tories, left or right of them there is a party who can do it better, with better credentials. There is a clear danger here of a transmigration of souls. (Note to self: do Tories have souls?)

i am a bit confused by the latest attack on Wikipedia. Editing on Wiki is not easy ( there are professional writers who hire wiki writers specifically for entries), and to be approved for a wiki entry it must be a legitimate reason source.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg -- Just 2 words Liz Truss.
So here's a curious thing, Jacob Rees-Mogg posted this teaser for his discussion on Rachel Reeves in China, with an image he attributed to Grek (I assume he
meant Grok) & it has given her an exaggerated hook nose. I'd love to know how what it was in the wording or algorithm which accounts for that
