“Kwinana in Australia put drainage net traps on drainage pipes to stop rubbish getting into rivers and streams and stopping it going to the ocean.” Simple and effective.
A 10-year-old has a better plan for stopping plastic pollution than most politicians.
Amaya Edwards discovered an Australian scheme that’s keeping rivers and oceans clean. So why hasn’t the UK adopted it?

Again, this stuff should end his presidency the moment it starts. We simply can't be doing this while Putin is occupying 🇺🇦 & 🇨🇳 is eyeing 🇹🇼 & making claims on other countries' territory in the South China Sea.
Q: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of areas like Greenland or Panama you are not gonna use military or economic coercion?
TRUMP: No. I can't assure you. I'm not going to commit to that. It might be that you'll have to do something.

Populist isolationist Trump is gone. He's transformed into fascist imperialist Trump.
We cannot assume diplomacy will be effective to persuade him on key issues.
Tough choices ahead. Europe, UK, Canada & others must unite to preserve & defend the Western alliance against Trump, Russia and China.

We have only 2.4 hospital beds per 1000 people, compared to 7.8 in Germany, 5.8 in France & an OECD average of 5.0.
We also have 1 in 8 beds occupied by medically fit patients needing social care - an issue that Labour won’t definitively address until 2028 at the earliest. Simply disastrous. (2/2)
