@wiltscouncil.bsky.social Shame on you to allow selected primary school children to benefit from school funding at the behest of local employer #Dyson. Shame on him for moving parents' jobs to Singapore! Dyson founder donates further £1.8m to Malmesbury primary school share.google/EFAA8jj23rRk...

James Dyson's generosity to his local state primary school is so magnanimous... I wonder how the school copes when the children's parents' jobs are moved to Singapore for tax purposes... Dyson founder donates further £1.8m to Malmesbury primary school - BBC News share.google/EFAA8jj23rRk...

Why doesn't he pay fair taxes to benefit all, as well as donate to a selected school? Dyson founder donates further £1.8m to Malmesbury primary school - BBC News share.google/EFAA8jj23rRk...

@thameswater.bsky.social still pumping sewage into rivers now www.thameswater.co.uk/edm-map

Can @ukri.org clarify if this means legal commitments will no longer be honoured since this is no longer minuted? That sounds pretty serious, @chionwurah.bsky.social (5/n)

Hey @ukri.org the STFC council minutes page has disappeared: www.ukri.org/publications... Don't worry though, the national archives has a copy here: webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/202601... Could put it back up along with recent minutes, would hate to think you've something to hide 🤔

😠From today's FT: quarter of the UK’s privatised water companies underspent their investment allowances between 2010 and 2025. THEY'RE SITTING ON YOUR MONEY, AND RIPPING YOU OFF. No delays, no half measures, no decade-long waits for things to change - we need water in public ownership now.

Former DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is a paedophile, a jury has unanimously found: Guilty on all 18 counts, including rape of a primary school girl. Judge says jail is "inevitable" and ex-MP immediately remanded into custody. Full breaking coverage:

This will get lost in today's national news, but the finding that Jeffrey Donaldson is guilty on all counts, only after decades of multiple people having concerns, speaks to how powerful abusers can use their status in a small society like NI to deflect attention: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

The summer and winter solstices remind us that life is always changing. The future exists only in the imagination; the past lives only in memory. But this moment—this breath, this precious day—is where you find peace. May you let go of worries and trust in the unfolding of your path.

Here's what you could get for a mere 10% of the £5,000,000 'gift' that Farage got from his billionaire mate for being fascist: "Caitlin Leggett and her twin sister Grace are trying to raise £500,000 for treatment abroad after Caitlin's leukaemia returned". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Local news. No general media & political outrage. No endless opinion pieces blaming a sub-section of society. No US government involvement. No Farage calling for rage. Local news… I was actually surprised to see the BBC cover it at all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK has many incidents of needless murder, family tragedy, serious policing and appropriate justice.

30,000 excess deaths over 5 days of unprecedented heat in India. Are our leaders saying "holy crap, we've gotta do something"? Nope. Carney is licensing new oil and gas. Trump is attacking Iran. They don't care.

Pretty much tumbleweed in the national media...if they do report it, it's always done in such a way as to make one feel it was all inevitable....to be resigned to the death and destruction because it's all self inflicted. Starmer&Co. MIA as usual
