Advice - I need to go away to write somewhere fairly peaceful but not remote in the UK between 11 & 18 August to write. Child free zone, with pub or shop in walking distance. Village would do. Any ideas or suggestions?

Plastic wet wipes to be banned in Wales from 2026

Why can't our single homeless people access stylish, affordable housing solutions like this tiny home design? It would save LA so much money in TA costs youtu.be/PmAmxYdyuuA?...

Growing up in these conditions has been really hard, especially in extreme weather. I dream of a future where there is some semblance of order and function πŸ™πŸΌ

This is really important advice. Vulnerable groups including those with mental health problems can find some of these things difficult. If you know someone in this category, please check on them.

The Neanderthals have sunstroke and antisocial behaviour is one of the early warning signs πŸ”†πŸ”†πŸ”†πŸ”†πŸ”†πŸ˜‘

Vulnerable groups are at increased risk in extreme weather. It should be the job of Government and the goal of humanity to make every citizen as comfortable as possible, to prevent unnecessary suffering or death. The greed at the top of our society threatens us all.

Useful guidance on keeping safe during the UK heatwave Those mote hulneranle now include older people aged 65 years and over (note change from previous guidance of 75 years of age and above) #Heatwave #StayHydrated #AvoidSun

With our economy tied to the gravitational pull of the US economy, this video about living standards and shared prosperity, is really interesting... youtu.be/J4qqIJ312zI?...

The Premier League fixtures have been released and Mikel Arteta will not be happy 🀣

The wait is over... here’s how our 2025/26 Premier League season shapes up πŸ—“οΈ

On the wrong side of the tracks, it's 10.30pm at night and primary school aged children are still playing football in their back garden πŸ˜‘

It’s estimated that 16 million people could lose their health insurance under Trump's β€œBig Beautiful Bill.” That's like everyone who lives in the states of: Wyoming Alaska North Dakota Montana Maine New Hampshire Hawaii West Virginia Idaho Nebraska And Arkansas COMBINED.

This image will go down in history and we all feel it.

Antisocial behaviour rises rapidly during hot weather. Neanderthals cannot take the heat.

@matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social 2 decades ago, John Prescott launched an affordable home design competition that captured the hopes for the future. I urge you to follow in his footsteps & aim higher in the hope of finding cost effective ways to house vulnerable people & lift them out of suffering πŸ‘πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Netanyahu’s illegal, unilateral attack on Iran is just his latest violation of international law. The United States must not be a part of this war. My full statement:

I wonder where Marc Cucurella buys his studs from? He should get a refund πŸ˜•

Such a shame to see empty stadiums at the FIFA Club World Cup

As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all. Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna. Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in. πŸŽ§β¬‡οΈ

Praying for peace today and every day. In war it is often innocent civilians that lose their lives and this should remain unacceptable to the global community, whatever your background. πŸ™πŸΌπŸŒ

Traumatised people in triggering environments will exhibit coping behaviours, which can include avoidance strategies. If local & National Governments were more proactive at removing people from unsuitable environments sooner, they could unlock so much personal potential & national productivity. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‘

Girl who skipped dinner so parents could eat - the true reality of UK child poverty. Human suffering is hidden by numbers. 16m Britons live in poverty. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. 50 families have more wealth than 34m people. Poverty is a political choice.

I was spoilt by my thoughtful daughter today, with some new shirts and enough chocolate to keep Belgium happy indefinitely. πŸ˜‹

Young carer who unwittingly breached allowance rules forced to repay Β£2,145. Innocents suffer with cliff-edge benefits, complex rules and absence of Universal Basic Income. 144,000 UK carers repaying Β£250m. Soon Govt taking powers to remove money from claimants without court order.

She's known to millions as Miranda Hobbes from 'Sex and the City', but in real life, Cynthia Nixon is a powerful voice demanding a #WealthTax to fix our schools, make healthcare affordable & solve the housing crisis. ✊ We're with her. It's time to #TaxTheRich.

Let’s be fair, if you made your wealth here you should pay tax here, if you prefer to live abroad who cares - the US has a good system for that - all citizens pay tax wherever in the world they live.Β  It’s fair, citizenship has benefits nobody should freeload.

How many times can a politician say the sentence "making life better for working people" If we unpack that line, it has very dark undertones for the disabled, the mentality ill & anyone not fit to work. All this against a background of an increase in the Super rich. Dr Eugenics will see you now
