Enjoy birding, art, baking and a damn good Scandinavian crime drama.

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

“Help! My children are drowning!” “Sorry, mate, you’re brown.” Who wants to live in a country where people don’t go to the rescue of men, women and children in danger of losing their lives? The racists do. Please support the wonderful RNLI rnli.org/support-us/g...

Humanists UK has worked towards this moment for nearly a century. The Assisted Dying Bill adds vital safeguards where none currently exist. It remains overwhelmingly popular with the public who don’t want to suffer or see their loved ones suffer.

Great @humanists.uk parliamentary briefing on assisted dying Bill led by Baroness Gerarda and Bill sponsor @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social - what is proposed is the most restrictive and safest assisted dying law in the world and our elected representatives have already voted for it. It must happen.

And get ready for bewildered birds, weighing at least half a kilogram each, running and flying across busy A-roads and motorways, panicking drivers who try to miss them, and smacking into the windscreens of those that can't. Just another cost the public pays for the private pleasure of the industry.

Game dealers say more Red-legged Partridges have been released this year than they can cope with. Standby for sacks full of shot and rotten RLPs dumped & fly-tipped across the countryside. New blog ⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/09/01/g...

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

Express headline: The jaw-dropping list of everything asylum seekers in Thetford were 'given for free'.

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums. Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

Maybe this is because you can't turn on the radio without hearing hourly updates on the number of people arriving in small boats.
