Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.

Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.

Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.

It’s all very well saying we need better players etc - but is there actually a strategy behind our recruitment? It seems smaller teams are using data and analysis as much a scouting etc and more than just the managers “hunch” to recruit and it all works together.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country.

They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends.

We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

Did I get obsessed with the Munro #TidyTuesday and go on a @walkhighlands.co.uk deep dive (gratefully with their consent)?

Yes.

Did I have to migrate my website from Hugo to Quarto to make interactive plots work?

Yes.

Was it worth it?

Yes.

This has been a recurring nightmare for 10+ years. Going into crucial European ties against a side we should be comfortably beating but we were caught out. The common denominator is our board underinvesting #CelticFC

A Baptist minister has been arrested in Oxford for holding a placard reading ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’. Rev Grote of New Road Baptist Church said ‘I am doing this because of my faith. I’m doing this because I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, who broke the rules and created peace.’

Before the days of the Club World Cup, there was the ‘World Championship’.

The name is a bit misleading, as it was only ever competed for by the two clubs from England and Scotland who won the FA Cup and Scottish Cup.

But, for a time, Renton FC could call themselves champions of the world.

Aerial footage filmed by ITV News shows the scale of Gaza's destruction

It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2

Absolutely fucking shameful, remember when they said they were going after another group?

Now what group has committed the greatest crime?

A tipping point has been reached.

Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world.

Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months.

You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.
Gaza health ministry says 33 people dead from malnutrition in last 48 hours
New figures from the Hamas-run ministry include 12 children who have died, as the UN says Israel must allow aid into Gaza.
