Failed pandemic-era PPE contracts cost the British taxpayer £1.4billion. The Covid counter-fraud commissioner uncovered the figure in the first phase of his probe into wasteful Tory spending during the pandemic www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

A revisit to one of our completed gardens to capture it in its spring pomp. #springgarden 🌱

First new reservoirs in England for more than 30 years given go-ahead. Actual good news. I bet nobody notices. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘Brexit was a terrible solution to the problem of English identity. It did nothing to allow ordinary people to "take back control" of their lives.’ So, people remain powerless and angry. And Farage (who championed this failure) now exploits their anger for power. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Love this exchange 🌱

While Tories/Reform howl about the Brexit reset, just remember that Johnson’s dismal deal gave the EU favourable terms on fishing and made trading goods for us so much more difficult. So, if you want to talk ‘betrayal’, take it up with them. Most of us would rather fix the godawful mess they made.

Worth remembering that Farage and Badenoch have already criticised this deal... before it's even been written. Which tells you everything you need to know. Driven by dogma, rather than what might be best for Britain.
