So...erm...it appears a rat is eating my compost bin. Not the compost or compostable materials put in it. The compost bin. Made of plastic. I guess time to switch to putting all the vegetable food waste in the food waste caddy for the council to collect. :(

It costs £335k to build a prispn cell. So this is a pledge to spend close on £17 billion. That is slightly more than the annual aide budget that is currently £15 billion, but that will already fall to £9 billion by 2028. And around £3 billion of that is actually spent on refugee accommodation.

Lots of fuss in the UK atm about drinking water reservoirs, but probably just as important is the need for a mass increase in agricultural reservoirs. Frankly whether your car is cleaned by hosepipe matters less than if you can afford bread.

The other grim rabbit hole this led me down is realising how bad the USA is at executing people. It is not actually complex to make this a quick process. Before it was abolished Britain could complete an execution in 7 seconds.

I have a strange obsession with the death penalty in that I don't understand it so keep coming back to it to try and work out wtf is up with it. In this case she was 18 when she killed someone. She is now 50. Why is it important to anyone, 32 years later, that she dies?

This provision of the OAPA has literally never been charged, ever. It's the paradigmatic example of why the Act needs to be reformed. It would be wonderful and hilarious if the CPS decided to deploy it now.

There's passive voice and then there's this shit for describing pulling a knife on the RNLI.
Screenshot of the BBC article. Text reads:

Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, shared a YouTube livestream of the boat from the Channel. Thomas-a long-term campaigner against migrants -organised recent protests in Portsmouth and Dover.

For the record, any British Citizen on a UK registered ship is still subject to UK Criminal Law under section 281 Merchant Shipping Act 1995. So if the authorities wish to arrest a person who seemingly brandished a knife at an RNLI volunteer...there is no jurisdiction issue.

I may get shouted out for this, but it's a real observation: Polanski has a pattern of behaviour of making trouble for himself by telling fibs when he absolutely doesn't need to do so. He lies reflexively and then creates several more news cycles as a result.

A reminder that transport is the largest producer of UK greenhouse gas emissions, and that fuel duty is currently the main leverage government has to get people to switch to EVs. Reducing fuel duty is not good policy.

The thing I don't understand about Labour is that a lot of things that would, at a basic level, improve democracy are things that hurt people they claim are opponents. No businessman is lining up to give them £70 million.
