Sure the Starmer government has made multiple mistakes - but its direction of travel is right. Never forget the toxic legacy of the government of which you were part and which bit by bit is being redressed. The idea you are clean handed, part of a fresh start is risible.

@PubMaverik All for a pint and pie too.

Fred did it in a pair of steelies while smoking a roll up 😁

@bjhguerin @CAMRA_Official @sasha_lord this is great 👍

Pubs in England & Wales are facing a massive hike in business rates in April 🍻 💸 📈 75%+ of venues are looking at increases in their rateable value, some by 500%+ the government's signalled a potential u-turn... but nothing's confirmed yet. so i built ismypubfucked.com with official VOA data for 43,000 pubs, which looks at just how fucked they each are find your local. see what they're up against. buy a pint.

Incredible things happening in the UK with Claude Code

Spent the day at the @RGS_IBG considering approaches to volunteer management and enabling positive risk taking. Such a great setting and so many adventures and new boundaries captured within this place.

Listening to yet another policy u-turn (ID cards) and unfunded and unclear framed plans (‘Not’ HS2 to Mcr). I am actually astonished just how bad this gov is at politics. @UKLabour @Kier_Starmer_PM needs to get a grip, reshuffle and actually set out a clear vision.

Shout out to the #bondi beach life guard who, while there was shots being fired and we were all ducking for cover behind their buggy, noticed someone in the water struggling so grabbed a board and went to rescue them

Why so many people break 20mph speed limits (it's more complicated than you think) bbc.in/4oR6Ztn

Not seen this one before. Good for marketing and awareness - wonder how it would play out at scale #roadsafety instagram.com/reel/DSBDpHtiX…

Did you know that every single stretch of river in England designated as bathing water, bar one, has a "Do not swim" advisory posted?

The continuing efforts of local river guardians to investigate the Cherwell waste dump are really highlighting the utter incompetence of @EnvAgency & their failure to uphold the law. It now appears that complaints about the rubbish were made by local people as far back as May & the EA actually attended site in July. Having seen the devastation themselves, did they move to shut it down, as they could have done by blocking the site entrance & seeking a simple court order? Nope, they sent the owner of the land a sodding “stern letter” & let the dumping continue until late October! Failing in the same way as they did at Hoad’s Wood shows this is a systemic failure by the EA & needs government intervention. The investigation didn’t properly start until local river guardians contacted the media this week. Even now, their investigations are bearing more fruit than the EA’s. They guardians have found waste with names & addresses & traced it to the owner, who confirmed they put it in their municipal waste collection. If confirmed this shows the waste is the result of large scale fraud or corruption in the local authority waste management. Perhaps worst of all, the EA are now denying any duty to clean up the rubbish and plan to just leave it there & “monitor” it. Local river guardians have made a petition demanding a clean up. Please do sign it & support their campaign. c.org/brxtKnS9Tx
