A reminder that this is the same government that is currently promising to clamp down on what it describes as 'immoral' waste in the civil service

Hi again Stefan. This private company now has 2 separate websites, 3 trading names, a spokesperson at a Dubai-funded thinktank, and lots of paid advertising. All trained on 1 UK charity. That’s what’s worrying. But our members remain a fantastic bunch, and I remain unscared.

Even when attending a wedding (circa 1990) Pratchetts will always look slightly scruffy. Not my colour, not his suit, but we’re both looking at the camera. Albeit in a slightly bemused way. He would’ve been 76 today. GNU Dad. Happy Birthday. #Speakhisname #TerryPratchettDay ❤️

Great to see this from Steve Reed. Now’s the time for political leadership on the environment. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

That's because cutting civil service jobs isnt just cutting their payroll, but cutting the policy programmes and public services they deliver. This will translate to a significant reduction in public sector delivery in policy areas outside defence in general.

Love a Reasons Committee. Many Reasons. Such committee.

Up early in town on a Sunday and struck by how out of step Sunday trading hours seem these days. Queue forming in M&S waiting for tills to open at 11am.

We promised last year on this day that we would repost this reminder every year until everyone knows that...

COYOTES AND BADGERS GO ON LITTLE ADVENTURES TOGETHER SOMETIMES!!!

reminder that today is your last day to register to vote. I know some feel disconnected with the political system right now. it is not the only way to create change but it is important. It takes 5 minutes !! share with everyone you know

ooooh fun

I know this isn't the main issue here but... seriously, get a grip!
Heat pumps aren't 'woke', they're a white box with a fan in them that provide heat very efficiently.
Are tumble dryers woke? Are fridge-freezers woke?
They're very useful and to be honest a bit boring.

Good reminder from Hansard Society about the problem of creeping ministerial powers in legislation. This trend is taking power away from Parliament and undermining public scrutiny of law making. hansardsociety.org.uk/blog/tobacco-a…

Today MPs will debate a new law to end the sale of precious peat bogs for garden compost.

This is hugely important and is supported by gardeners and nature groups.

A last chance for govt to act before the election.

Listen. I'm sorry. I know it saves lots of money for orgs. But I really hate online learning.

ALLY-SHIP IN ACTION.

I find the culture war angle of objecting to things like trigger warnings on content rather telling, because there is literally no harm you can claim to anything or anyone from having them. If they annoy you, that's about *you*, not about anything else.

Comfy, mate?
