Ofcom is broken. Fix it now! I just signed this open letter calling on the Government to do whatever it takes to fix it, in case you want to sign too?

GB News’s Trump interview was a hot mess, but Ofcom doesn’t want to investigate. That means one thing: Ofcom is BROKEN. I just signed this open letter calling on the Government to do whatever it takes to fix it. Will you add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Ofcom-is...

Text that states: 

β€œIncluding the proposed Berwick Bank offshore windfarm in the Contracts for Difference scheme is a crushing blow for marine wildlife in Scotland and beyond. When 62% of seabird species are in decline across the UK, it is an absolute disgrace that public money will be used to support what is predicted to be one of the world’s most damaging windfarms for birds. 

 
"A development that will kill will tens of thousands of seabirds over its lifetime and push species like Kittiwakes and Puffins closer to extinction in Scotland is unsupportable on every level. 

"What’s more, measures needed to try and compensate for the impact of Berwick Bank would need to be so great this one windfarm could effectively block the progress of other less harmful projects.

The UK Government’s decision to include Berwick Bank in the Contracts for Difference scheme is a disaster for Scotland’s seabirds.

Killing tens of thousands of these incredible birds isn’t just reckless, it could push many species towards extinction.

Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok is being used to make sexual abuse images of women and children by manipulating photos of them. And Elon is refusing to stop it.

Is the Land Rover Defender the biggest star of Celebrity Traitors? Is the Land Rover Defender the Celebrity Traitors' biggest star? With almost 12million people tuning in, search results have surged 35% for JLR's best selling 110.

Why was #CelebrityTraitors one big SUV ad?!

SUVs like the Defender are three times more likely to kill a child under 10 in the event of a crash, compared to a small car.

This form of advertising needs challenging. #AirPollution #RoadDanger
