Hi ,

In recent weeks we've had a global tech collapse, an attempted presidential assassination, and a whale jumping on top of a ship.

It's like living in three different types of disaster novel at once.

Luckily (for you), The Ferret can guide you through these troubled times. We'll help you separate fact from fiction, expose the deeds of the powerful, and explain just what the hell is going on.

All for just £5 per month!
Yours,
Ali
Story of the week
An in-depth look at a Ferret investigation
There was a significant rise in security lapses at the body responsible for the UK’s nuclear weapons last year, The Ferret can reveal, prompting calls for an investigation.

There were 83 security incidents at the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO) between April 2023 and March 2024.

It is the arm of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) responsible for all aspects of the UK’s nuclear weapons programme except military operations. This includes maintaining nuclear warheads, delivering the replacement warhead programme and conducting scientific research into nuclear weapons.
