LNT Care Developments sought pre-application advice from Plymouth City Council before submitting a formal planning proposal for the construction of the facility at the former Plymstock Quarry.

Motorists are being urged to drive more carefully on Dartmoor to help cut the number of animals injured or killed. Devon and Cornwall Police said 144 animals, including ponies, cattle and sheep, were killed on Dartmoor’s roads in 2024. Rangers, members of the emergency services and the British Horse Society have carried out patrols to...
Remember all that discussion of how socialized medicine would lead to “death panels?” It turns out that this worry was far too optimistic about what the future would hold. In Great Britain the trajectory is far darker: as the country rushes to embrace medical murder without any checks on the ability of doctors to push...
Two Devon MPs have raised fears about a proposal to move out-of-hours coronary care from Torbay to Exeter, believing the move could endanger people. It comes after the NHS and the integrated care board (ICB) said it was considering stopping out-of-hours coronary care in Torbay and moving treatment to Exeter instead. South Devon MP Caroline...

A failure to fix England’s social care system is costing the country in financial and human terms, cross-party MPs have warned. Doing nothing to reform social care for older and disabled adults is an “active” and “untenable” decision, according to a report from Health and Social Care Select Committee. It says successive governments have put...
Shortly after Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested in Milwaukee for attempting to interfere in the arrest of a criminal illegal immigrant by federal agents, there was a general caterwauling from elected Democrats. I wrote a post cataloging some of the instant and suspiciously similar responses from Senators Tina Smith, Tammy Baldwin, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer,...
The Department of Health and Human Services released a 400-page report today titled “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria.” The report only addresses treatment for those 18 and under and appears to follow the UK’s Cass Review in recommending more therapy for children and less use of medical intervention, such as puberty blockers and hormones. The...
Ramsey was tasked with taking charge of Cardiff’s final three matches of the season following the departure of Riza fewer than 24 hours after the Bluebirds were beaten 2-0 by Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on 18 April.

The SF Chronicle published an editorial Saturday criticizing California Democrats for repeatedly putting their tired ideology over what actually works in a number of areas. For instance, if you listen to Gov. Newsom, the state needs to build more homes. He recently admitted the state isn’t anywhere close to meeting it’s stated goals for home...
The report is expected to mirror reviews from Florida and the UK, engineered to disrupt gender-affirming care. The White House released a fact sheet Monday confirming it will declare gender-affirming care “not supported” by evidence in a new, pseudoscientific report — contradicting numerous peer-reviewed studies demonstrating positive outcomes. The document reveals the administration will meet...
EPA A leading health think tank says urgent and emergency care in England is performing “far worse” than before the pandemic. The Health Foundation argues that the NHS was “in distress” this winter with A&E waiting times reaching a record high. The group says it would be wrong just to blame relatively high levels of...
I was reliably told that if Donald Trump got elected president, democracy itself was at risk. And sure enough, the warnings were correct. Without the unanimous consent of every federal judge, it turns out that elections can be nullified, the Constitution torn up, and the Executive Branch paralyzed. At the outset of his administration, President...
