You have about 16 million customers and you are their monopoly supplier of something everyone needs every day of their lives and you now need billions of pounds of public money otherwise you are “going bust?” Maybe … maybe someone needs to ask a few questions and get some answers … at last.

The monthly bird survey carried out at Hanningfield in Essex showed that several species of waterbirds, normally numerous at this time of year, have deserted the reservoir. Unprecedented in its history. Coot normally in '000s down to a dozen. Tufted Duck AWOL too.

Farmland bird populations in England have now declined by a staggering 66% since 1970, according to the latest official figures. What's going to turn this around? Not piecemeal grants or trusting in the 'custodians of the countryside', but Landscape Recovery & regulation www.gov.uk/government/s...

Graph from DEFRA's report 'Wild bird populations in the UK and England, 1970 to 2025', published 13th October 2026, showing a two-thirds decline in farmland birds in England and the UK from 1970 to 2025.

NEW: Home Office stats released today reveal that arrests for “terrorist-related activity” in the year ending June 2026 were up 1,553% on last year and 94% of the arrests (3,630 of 3,867) were linked to showing support for Palestine Action.
