That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.

I'm sure it didn't start with them, but I'm sure cowboy films have a lot to answer for. Kids' entertainment at a Saturday matinee. Now I realise why I hated them.

When war is portrayed as entertainment or just a game, human suffering and death is trivialized. On March 11th, the official Instagram account of the White House posted a short AI-generated video in which a bowler throws a strike and the bowling pins are depicted as the Iranian regime.

430 co-operatives. 150,000 farmers. Β£10 billion a year.

The agricultural co-operative sector is already one of Britain's most important food producers – with food security back at the top of the agenda, it's time to back it to grow.

I'm fed up of war being seen as some sort of online game. These are real people whatever differences we might have.

Graphic titled β€œWe think people using mobility aids should be allowed to get away from danger at running speed” 

A young woman using a manual wheelchair with a power attachment is under a streetlight in the dark. There are a group of people standing just outside the light, looking threatening or at least intimidating. The woman’s eyes are wide with fright.

All Disabled people should be legally able to speed up to "running" or "cycling"-equivalent speeds to get out of danger, whatever mobility devices we're using, at all times of day and night, and wherever we are travelling.

Sadly, no Montgomery Canal boat trips this season - The Montgomery Canal - Camlas Maldwyn The volunteers who operate the George Watson Buck narrowboat based on the Montgomery Canal in Llanymynech have taken the difficult decision not to run weekend boat trips during 2026.

A very difficult decision taken at Llanymynech Canal Wharf to suspend boat trips this year on the Montgomery Canal, but the visitor centre will continue to offer light refreshments and gift shop from Easter. themontgomerycanal.org.uk/sadly-no-mon... #UKCanals

People are rightly worried sick about the massive jump in the cost of purchasing heating oil. This is not a luxury – for the more than 15,000 people in North Shropshire currently off-grid, buying oil to heat their homes is a necessity.

Looking for a new recipe for butternut squash, I found this delicious warm salad - Roasted Butternut Squash with Lentils and Feta. You can use green lentils, but baluga lentils - the small black ones looking a bit like cavier have a wonderful creamy taste
