"Sewage discharged from Oxford works days after Thames Water apology."
So just days after the minister gave water industry bosses yet another finger wagging ticking off, I'm sure an intimidating experience, the WCs do what exactly?
Err? Nothing. Ho hum.

Hi 👋 I'm Ahmed, I'm a Muslim mental health doctor. For the last 12 years, I've swapped shifts so colleagues can celebrate the festive period with their loved ones. This year I'm working Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & Boxing Day in Emergency Psychiatry. Merry Christmas everyone.

After nurses and ambulance workers confirm and undertake their strikes, there's word junior doctors could be next.
@DrAmirKhanGP explains why.

It’s official – more time spent in nature = better mental wellbeing. Our Bright Future enabled almost 130,000 young people to boost their mental health, empowering them to make positive changes for the future. 💪

"If the #COP15 talks collapse, or only produce a mealy-mouthed deal, the world faces accelerating biodiversity loss. And that is something that investors, business leaders and everyone else should shriek about -very loudly"
Good piece by @gilliantett @FT

UK negotiators are working hard at Cop15 but @DefraGovUK has just published targets that completely undermine that work 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤬🤬🤬 theguardian.com/environment/…

Absolutely mad that the world’s governments are meeting this week to negotiate how to maintain a habitable biosphere and practically no one is paying any attention.

"Despite 99% of respondents calling for greater ambition to reverse nature’s decline, we’ve ended up with the same low ambition targets that were consulted on"
💧Targets on water have not been strengthened👎
💧 We lack an overall target on river health👎

Dick Bruna is one of my favourite illustrators. This is the back cover of Miffy in the Snow, first published in 1963.

"One site near a sewage treatment works showed 760 times the maximum level of E. coli that would be allowed if it was a bathing area".
And there's still no sign of @DefraGovUK's water quality targets.

The Govt’s 10-year plan for dementia should have been published this year. Now, we've been told that the plan will come in 'due course'.
But dementia doesn’t wait for due course. And neither will we. It’s time for #PlanD.
Sign our open letter today: bit.ly/3Kd3bQR.

Well that was all very unexpected I have to say.
A massive thank you to the readers and everyone at @angling_times for the support, Outstanding Contribution to Angling.
Humbled, flattered and really rather excited.
A honour.
