Has the Times sacked its Media Correspondent? Scrolling through its news list and it’s missed a huge story involving the monarchy, journalist ethics and a billion pound cover up at a hugely powerful media organisation. Surely more important than whether dogs suffer from January blues?

Word of the day is one I mention often. To have the ‘mubble-fubbles’, in the 16th century, was to experience a fit of despondency or low spirits - another name for the Sunday blues.

The EU used to enforce standards on water pollution. But then we “took back control” – and lost control of sewage on our beaches: inews.co.uk/news/beaches...

inews.co.uk

'Our beaches are full of sewage, rubbish and sanitary products - Brexit is to blame'

The EU previously acted as a watchdog on sewage pollution

In 2023 BBC News reported that Brexit is the reason why the Vauxhall plant may close down costing 1,500 jobs In 2024, there's little mention of Brexit being the reason why it's closing down. Why?
