You probably read this weekend the government was watering down the workers rights bill. Having looked at the amendments, there’s no weakening of anything, in most cases it’s been toughened up. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Well done Germany for turning out in huge numbers to vote yesterday. Yes the AfD may have made gains, but massive turn out has kept their successes down and ensured they will play no part at all in governing Germany. Here are some images for looking at the results in different ways.

Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks. We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.

Most of the UK farmland sold last year went to tax-dodgers, not real farmers. They exploit inheritance tax breaks, pricing farmers out while barely using the land. They “farm” just enough to meet loopholes, cashing in on rising land values. It’s not about food, it’s a scam for the wealthy.

Labour promised to deliver an extra 2 million appointments a year as a first step to fix the the NHS. And they have reached that target in just 5 months. The impact? More people getting the treatment they need and waiting lists down by 160,000 (compared to a 33,000 rise the year before).
