More progress at Gallows Wharf. Dave and Bob continued their brickwork, and our new professional bricklayer volunteer helped with setting out.
They’ve also started backfilling behind the concreted-in sheet piling.
How many concrete slabs have they laid? Watch this space!

Really? @labouruk.bsky.social Have the wrong things been learned from 14 years in the wilderness watching Tory Party infighting tear it pieces? Can we please stop the bloody infighting and work on how the country is going to get through the mess the U.S. has dumped us in?

We've seen how a Trump administration has taken over scientific bodies, so independent research is suppressed if its findings aren't what he wants, and outputs just become govt propaganda. Could the same thing happen here, if a future PM wanted to do the same? Important analysis ⬇️

The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

Border Patrol says he was at the red mark, 65 feet south of the border, when he "made an abrupt starboard turn and struck the port bow of the Coast Guard small-boat," causing him to capsize.
He says that's ridiculous, he was in Canadian waters and was going to shore to talk when they hit him.
