How to get a round govt's hopeless bonus ban version 1,762. Severn Trent have just awarded almost £10,000,000 worth of shares to senior executives as part of a 'Long Term Incentive Plan'. Have they now. Meanwhile millions of people across the country struggle to keep up with

If you are exposed to Roundup you should watch this. When Glyphosate is mixed with 'co formulants' to make 'Roundup it becomes much more toxic. The research is solid, it causes cancer. The Highland Council Pesticide Action & Agroecology Network youtube.com/watch?v=RbOmX4…

Mowi installs AI and automates 90% of its operations. This facility bagged £2m from the UK Gov. The salmon industry and government “jobs for fragile local communities” mantra is a downright LIE. Kate Forbes MSP Mairi Gougeon The Highland Council HIE salmonbusiness.com/mowi-installs-…

Norwegian salmon giant Mowi may be able to ban me from their lousy salmon farms in Scotland but that won't stop me visiting their deadly feedlots in Ireland, Norway, Chile, the Faroes, Canada, Iceland etc

I spent a year at Ofwat back in 2013 working on price controls I’m not remotely surprised it’s being abolished - what I saw astonished me 🧵 theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Costs of U.K. welfare state likely to rise 26% in the next 5 years. The economy not likely to grown by more than 8% tops. So... reform or crisis..

News from civil servants preparing Liz Kendall's pensions review. Kendall wants to look at "phasing in" the pension starting with 25% of a pension at age 68 and getting 100% of the pension at age 72. This will be represented as not affecting the triple lock. It's already the

Well that's odd. 24 hours ago The Westmorland Gazette posted a story about swimmers getting sick while taking part in the Great North Swim on Windermere. Apparently sewage was being dumped into the lake at the time. 1 day later the article has disappeared from their website.

Scotland 2025: the end of delusion, the start of recovery? “The next chapter must be written not by consultants or committees, but by the people. No more therapy-state. Rebuild Scotland in the image of its people, not its quangos.” writes Annemarie Ward bit.ly/4fbOo8r

Scotland is not in crisis. A crisis implies urgency, consequence, the possibility of change. What we face is worse, a slow, syrupy decline disguised by slogans and sustained by subsidy. A publicly funded decay where failure is not punished but process-mapped. Our institutions no

And we’re paying for this and all those in the NHS practicing this behaviour. John Swinney it’s all on your watch and you’re milking this show with your fat cat salary and pension. The SNP have single handedly divided and wrecked a country. Be gone.
