In case you hadn't seen it, here's the briefing doc obtained by @Channel4News from the EA to the SoS of @DefraGovUK explaining how to fiddle bathing water quality reports.
Read it and weep.
1 Feb 2024
A briefing document sent by the EA to the Secretary of State outlined how issuing ‘no bathing warnings’ legally allowed them to disregard bathing water test results. That they “play a major part in building the overall macro narrative of an upward trend in bathing water”

And here's part 2 of that briefing note where the EA are explaining to the SoS how they can deflect the public's attention by changing the wording; to 'better present' the bathing reports
IE change "Pollution Risk" to "Water Quality Forecasts", etc, etc.

Some options for improvements included changing language to “adopt more positive descriptors, replacing ‘Pollution Risk’ with ‘water quality’ forecasts. Though they warned this could be “construed as ‘greenwashing’”

We started with the accounts of serving cops - on the unseen consequences of GMP’s promise to double arrests.
But while working on this, another question came up:
When is a strip search not a strip search?
3 May 2023
Channel 4 News has uncovered concerns among serving officers at Greater Manchester Police, who've said they're taking "unacceptable risks" and that "dozens of inappropriate and disproportionate" arrests are being made every week.
@clarefallon reports.

“Dropped his kecks and swung his apparatus”.
It’s reassuring to see the transformation in attitudes to a sexual offence police say they take seriously.

Exclusive investigation by @RWindscheffel on mental health services.. and the consequences when people don’t get the support they need.
This is not an easy watch. But the devastating stories from families we spoke to need to be heard.

Truly powerful stories from families calling for change after failures in the mental health system.
Is enough being learnt when things go wrong ?

No beds, delays in care, not enough staff, not enough training.

Er yeah sooo... personal news? After eleven and a half years, hundreds of council meetings and what I'm pretty confident has been literally millions of Andy Burnham press conferences, I'm waving goodbye to the wonderful Manchester Evening News, to join the FT as northern corr.

Lesson for life-
“To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity,honesty,loyalty humility and integrity.
Allow yourself to be who you were meant to be, instead of what others say you should be.”
Good😊morning 🌹
