Progress!! DEFRA has announced that money from fines imposed by Ofwat and from Environment Agency prosecutions will go to Defra and will be invested in environmental and water quality improvement projects, instead of going back to the Treasury.

Excellent, pragmatic and informative interview on #monkeypox with @NakedScientists on @NIAbbot show on #LBC just now. Ref. predicted #ageofpandemics resulting from human behaviour: burgeoning population increasingly encroaching on vectors’ habitats + swift air travel spreading.
So #Evri is the rebranded #Hermes parcel delivery co. Parallels with #Facebook / #Meta methinks… Don’t mean to be cynical, but changing the name of a company with an atrocious record doesn’t make that record magically disappear. #weseeyou

Really? Protecting an industry that is doing a woeful job of protecting the environment. The sewage scandal continues. 💩🛑⚠️ “Tory MPs block law to name and shame water companies that kill animals with sewage” independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Tweets yesterday re. correspondent #BenjaminHall (guy on camera). Barely anyone questioned status of his team. We must appreciate skill and bravery of crew + photographers like #PierreZakrzewski RIP, working behind scenes under immense pressure. Wishing speedy recovery to Hall 🙌
Long time Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski, an Irishman and experienced war photographer, was killed in the same attack that severely injured correspondent Benjamin Hall, in Irpin just outside Kyiv. More horrible news. Appalling.

Immense #courage being shown by people of all ages in #Russia. #UkraineWar
I am certainly not a prominent figure in the Russian anti-war movement, and there are people here who have much more to say. But this war is my responsibility, and I feel it's important to speak out #StandWithUkraine️ #NoWar #NoToWar #нетвойне
Incredible! #Patagonia will match donations, twice. So whatever you donate (up to €2500 / sterling equivalent) will end up being tripled! 🙌 #ukraine #donatetoukraine #ukraineappeal
The people of Ukraine need our help now. Give what you can, and we'll match it. Twice. pat.ag/SupportUkraine

A nice reminder of a beautiful evening in the north. #thesurfersjournal #surfersjournal #jaycerobinson #almackinnon #coldwatersurf
"Jayce Robinson is one of Britain’s most technically proficient surfers," says photographer Al Mackinnon. "This was right at the end of a somewhat tricky session on a British slab. We hadn’t got much until this point."
