Love this www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I love science and the amazing things it can achieve! “Parkinson's patient 'feels cured' with new device” www.bbc.com/news/article...

Government overturns Tory measure and bans emergency use of bee-killing pesticide

If you know a disabled or elderly person who’s living alone and/or in an unsafe situation… check on them. Reach out just to say “hey someone is thinking about you” Especially if there’s extreme weather or any kind of emergency - we need to make sure people aren’t forgotten

@waterstones.bsky.social just been in Leicester Waterstones and it was really busy. Lovely to see a real book shop full of people.

New Year is almost upon us and spaniel is still loving his new Christmas caterpillar. #loveis

This is a person who Kemi Badenoch thinks should sit in the House of Lords. The tweets start in 2009 - Young was 45 at the time. Appalling misogyny, casual homophobia... the lot

This should not be seen as a wholesale defence of the Labour government. However, a large number of people seem incapable of seeing government as anything beyond the body that must solve their individual problem yesterday, and must leave them a little better off. /1

Everyone in this picture would be able to walk if the polio vaccine had existed in time for them.

#TeamLAS crews and control room staff are preparing for another busy weekend ➡️ providing 24/7 care for Londoners alongside our NHS and #EmergencyServices partners 💚 If it's not a life-threatening emergency, remember that 111 Online can offer urgent medical advice ☑️

Love this idea to reduce waste www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

Why is the government not capable wiping the floor with Nigel Farage every single day like this? Alastair Campbell effortlessly destroys him over his Brexit legacy which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the country

A charity in Cambridgeshire is working closely with the local community to provide people with learning disabilities an opportunity to gain work experience www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/local-n...

Hearing voices – What helps? Ben Gray, Peer Support Worker at Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, gives a unique account of how hearing voices support sessions can provide inspiration and hope. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Picture doesn’t quite capture it but the sudden emergence of sun rays was stunning, like a film version of god speaking! (Spaniel more interested in the puddle, his natural habitat).

Project to tell 'hidden history' of disabled people' "“It focuses on the overlooked history of people with a learning disability in Bradford who worked in its mills, largely in the 1800s and 1900s but all the way up to the present day." www.bbc.com/news/article...

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

This woman knows what she's talking about, get her elected.

Yes, to suspire is to utter a deep sigh. It’s all about breath, as are ‘inspire’ (to breathe life into an idea/person), ‘expire’ (breathe out), ‘perspire’ (to breathe through), ‘conspire’ (to breathe together), and ‘spirit’, because the ancients believed the spirit was breathed into the body.

Beautiful morning to wake up to. Just wow!

Realised I don't want everything to be lost when I leave X - & here's a tweet I'd like to save for posterity. 7 years ago, curled up in bed with grief, I posted this & it went round the world, & the astounding response made me cry with gratitude. Our magnificent, battered NHS. I love you, Dad 💙

It’s a tad cold tonight and so I present a summer walk tree photo for warm sunny memories.

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon. The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!

Don’t move near a pub if you don’t want the NOISE.

One of the best pubs in London struggling for survival because planning is stacked in favour of some powerful NIMBYs. Everything that’s wrong with Britain.

Narrator voice: “Little did he know…”

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books
