In Pune, residents shared how reflective roofing sheets are changing daily life — cooler homes in the summer heat, dry and protected during the rains. MEER India’s work is helping communities stay safer and more resilient. #MEER #Climatesolution #Resilience #Pune

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience. I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take. They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks. We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber

We have continuously opposed proposals to curtail jury trials because there is no evidence that their removal would reduce the backlog nor has it been set out how an alternative system would be resourced. We urge the government to reconsider pursuing radical changes under the

5 children ill after playing in the Thames; an unwell Kayaker; a rower who couldn't sit some of his GCSEs due to E coli. Meanwhile, publicly owned Eau de Paris has opened up the Seine for swimmers. Enough is enough. End the disaster of privatised water now. Well done
