England are through to the final of Euro 2024. The Tories have been voted out. I’d just like to suggest to the person with the magic lamp that they use their last wish very wisely.

The Labour government is to put failing water companies in “special measures” to make them clean up Britain’s waterways with new legislation expected by the industry. Via the FT.

They need to stand a centrist candidate to appeal to the masses, not just the extremes. By doing so it'll split the Conservatives with some realigning to Reform. We might have heard the tremendous noise as they split, but now there's not as many it'll be more of a whimper.

I just discovered this today while looking for covers of "Yakety Sax" (which you might know as the Benny Hill chase theme).

Speakers on, big screen if you've got it. This might be the most joy-inducing way to spend the next 59 seconds of your life.

I had a DPD "needs a signature" delivery of electrical equipment a couple of weeks back, I tried to alter to leave with neighbour but not allowed to due to signature. Yep, just left on the drive by door in the rain.

Shrewsbury hospital gets so much bad press but I have been there this weekend with my mum in law receiving emergency care and the whole team and organisation from start to finish has been excellent. Care has been second to none. Thank you 👌🏻 #Shropshire #NHS

Well, everyone. Since we've all had a hell of a few years, and things have shifted a bit in the last 24 hours - I think we deserve a treat. Time for the kitten seen from underneath photo? Oh, I think so. We've all been very good. We deserve it.

Hopefully he also gets a minister to look at realigning Ofcom too, as there's a certain "News" channel that could have some clearer ruling on their output.

I just saw this resumé of events from Ian Dunt. He sounds very optimistic. what Democrats have learned here—from the rare times when they controlled both houses of Congress AND the White House—there's a small window of time–right up front—to get almost everything done. you have to go for it. fast.

Dear Keir Starmer,

This Puffin has no idea who you are.

Yet your decisions will affect them, and all UK wildlife, immensely.

We need you to prioritise nature from day one.

You've got a lot on, we know. But #NatureCantWait.

Kind regards,
RSPB

At least the Greens will get as much coverage as Reform across all the channels now.

Light and dark - a rainbow flashes across the sky above Titterstone Clee. I always think the radar domes look like something out of a science fiction film, but they lie within the ramparts of a hill fort dating back to the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age. #Shropshire

Oh how lovely, Daniel Kawczynski has lost by a big swing to Labours Julia Buckley in Shrewsbury.
The lemon has gone, and now hopefully some who might vote to clean up the river.
