Clearly, shame is not enough to stop water companies discharging filth into our rivers & paying our bill money to shareholders. The EA & Ofwat need to enforce the law. Hard to see how this will happen when the government has just cut their funding. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yorkshire Water to pay £40m for sewage dumping. Company has history of criminal convictions. Fine will be used to upgrade infrastructure, clean rivers. So company won't have to spend, but will own the resulting infrastructure. There is no penalty?

NFU President Tom Bradshaw boasts that last year the NFU "fended off the Right to Roam". Labour must decide whether to side with an unrepresentative lobby group, or the grassroots @righttoroam.bsky.social campaign whose ask is backed by 69% of the public. www.nfuonline.com/updates-and-...

As shocking as this is, it’s also likely that the regime won’t work either for Trump, nor Musk, who will each feel threatened by each other and try to fight it out between them. They will already know that. I’ve little idea where that may leave the world.
