In the wake of the global Microsoft outage, the NCSC is recommending that everyone exercises caution around unexpected calls and messages, especially those containing links. For advice on how to recognise & report suspicious messages, websites & calls⬇️ ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phish…
Microsoft outage: We recommend vigilance against scam calls and approaches impersonating IT help desks or Microsoft. Scammers often exploit current news stories, try to quickly gain your trust, and aim to pressure you into acting without thinking. Visit the NCSC's website for more guidance on spotting and reporting suspicious communications.

Good news for farmers? UK and EU agree draft deal to scrap Brexit red tape over food exports bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmp3… I wonder what @agricontract @loosecollie and others think this brings? Is relaxing the border control going to be a benefit?
UK and EU agree draft deal to scrap Brexit red tape over food exports

UK and EU agree draft deal to scrap Brexit red tape over food exports

The UK's prolonged hot, sunny and dry weather is visible from space 🛰️ Comparing satellite images from late May and now, much of the landscape has turned from green to brown Farmers and gardeners are feeling the strain, with wildfire risk elevated as a third heatwave continues

Enjoying The Postal Paths by @thelonningsguy - a great holiday read. Feel like I need an @OrdnanceSurvey map beside me to follow the routes as Alan describes them.
