“The dynamic of friendship is almost always underestimated as a constant force in human life: a diminishing circle of friends is the first terrible diagnostic of a life in deep trouble: of overwork, of too much emphasis on a professional identity, of forgetting who will be there when our armored personalities run into the inevitable natural disasters and vulnerabilities found in even the most average existence. [...] But no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self; the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.” — David Whyte

Fish & shellfish caught in British waters will now be processed and sold into the EU without veterinary checks, eliminating huge red tape, checks, costs and delays created by Brexit. Given that 70% of seafood caught in UK is sold in EU, this is a big win. Ignore fibbing Farage!

We are sadly now loosing 80 pubs a month, according to figures just in. They are being converted into offices or flats. Ripping the heart out of our communities. With £1 out of every £3 now going directly to the taxman. We need urgent change to save what's left.

The evidence continues to roll in from across the UK. Water privatisation has been a complete failure.

Although it won't be confirmed until after the event has reached Earth, there are signs tonight's Severe Geomagnetic Storm will be the strongest since 2005. This will mean it's likely all of the UK (cloud permitting) should be able to see the the Aurora tonight if you look north

We are sleepwalking into a catastrophic global conflict. Our political class shows no interest in de-escalation, diplomacy or restraint — and it is always other people's children who pay the price. In a world of endless war, we need voices for lasting peace.

As the UK falls into recession, here's a quick look at how Rishi Sunak's five pledges to the country are going.

It's absolutely shocking that our media is pointing fingers at @BrewDogJames for pulling out of the real living wage scheme to save thousands of jobs during a period we have so many closures. It's the government at fault here.
