We are concerned about the current low numbers of health visitors and the consequences for families. Since 2015 the number of health visitors has fallen by around two-fifths bmj.com/content/394/bmj-2026…

Apparently Russian servers have been hit by a Ukrainian strike and immediately massive online hard right chatter has collapsed. This particular chatter was in support of Germany’s AFD, their equivalent to Reform, but similar patterns are being seen in hard right movements everywhere, including the UK. If anyone needed anymore evidence that Russia are driving a massive wave of hard right propaganda in Europe, this is it. So, all you “patriots” - you’ve been duped by Russia, and you are about as far from patriotic as anyone can be. You are easily brainwashed though. This is how propaganda works.

Afghan women have been raising this at international conferences for months but no one seems to be listening
A handful of Taliban officials now work in Berlin and Bonn to facilitate deportations from Germany to Afghanistan. France is considering doing the same in Paris, and other European countries are showing interest. This cooperation follows months of quiet engagement and a controversial meeting in Brussels in June, where over 20 EU delegates failed to question the Taliban even once on human rights. German officials describe the engagement as effective recognition of the Taliban as the legitimate government. Our story w/ @jimtankersley @jeannasmialek @CFSchuetze @lynseychutel

Hello everyone, this is a message from inside prison, from a young Iranian woman who is about to be executed. Please help me to amplify her voice before they hang her. 💔 «Remember my name, maybe I will not be able to speak again.» This is the voice of Najmeh Amini, a 23 year old accounting student, speaking from Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. In her voice message she says: «Be my voice. I am an innocent girl, a young woman full of hopes and dreams.» Najmeh is one of the detainees of the January uprising . She spent months in detention without a verdict, denied access to a lawyer of her choice and pressured during interrogation. In August, her trial was held at the Revolutionary Court of Mashhad on charges of «assembly and collusion» and «insulting sacred values.» She said in her voice message that her death sentence was issued on September 16, 2026. In her own words: «People, I only want justice and the chance to defend myself.» And this is her dream: «Before the rope ends my life, let me see my Iran prosperous and free.» Be her voice and all of political prisoners, especially those at risk of execution. #NajmehAmini #StopExecutionsInIran

The FDA has directed scientists to withdraw from publication two COVID-19 vaccine safety studies based on data for 12 million people that convincingly showed that the COVID vaccines are safe.

Yes, this should be front page news. Assaulting anyone is a crime, and this incident showed exactly how Reform members treat women.
The pictures from Reform conference of delegates assaulting women protestors should be front page news. There should be no excuses because of their age. This is where the country is heading under Farage and Reform. These are the people who have been radicalised in this country.

I feel sad seeing newly planted trees in London dying or dead. It doesn’t take much to come out with a watering can or bucket once or twice a week to keep them alive. Please share. Encourage people to look after what little nature we have.

"Watchdog accused of ‘giving away’ billions of litres of spring water to foreign bottling giants." Yep the EA are up to their old tricks again. The EA are charging Coca-Cola £6,070 a year to abstract water from the north of England which Coca-Cola then sells for £30 million. Did I mention that according to the EA by 2050 in England we will need to find another 5 billion litres of water per day just to keep our taps running and to try and save our chalk streams. What a hoax of a regulator. observer.co.uk/news/business…

£101.09. 1 Hour. No Seat. 8 Months Pregnant £101.09 for a 1 hour 3 minute journey into London Paddington with @GWRHelp. Only 4/5 carriages available during peak time, leaving passengers crammed in like sardines. I’m 8 months pregnant and spent the journey standing alongside dozens of other commuters because there simply weren’t enough seats. To make matters worse, I was standing directly in front of a British Transport Police officer who never once looked up to notice I was heavily pregnant or offer any assistance. Where is the care? How can Great Western Railway possibly justify charging £101.09 for a service where passengers are forced to stand for over an hour, despite paying some of the highest rail fares in Europe? This isn’t a one-off either. Around 50% of my journeys are disrupted by overcrowding, signal failures, trains being cancelled because staff don’t turn up, or broken trains. Passengers are paying premium prices for a service that is consistently failing them. We deserve better. @GWRHelp @nationalrailenq – how do you justify this level of service for these fares? #GWR #RailFail #PassengerRights #Pregnancy #LondonPaddington #commuterlife

Of 2500 media stories about the June heatwave in the UK, 72% didn’t mention climate change. 95% didn’t mention net zero. “The link between all three recent periods of extreme heat and climate change is indisputable.” - Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit theguardian.com/environment/…

I’m genuinely glad you got out and found the medicine you were trained to practise. The NHS should be ashamed that relief came from surrendering your GMC licence and leaving the country. Britain did not lose you to Norway. It drove you out through unsafe substitution, moral injury and institutional contempt for doctors.

It was not only the poor pay and deteriorating conditions. It was the moral injury of witnessing patient harm, and death, by a mass experiment of replacing doctors with untrained and unqualified individuals. This is not, and will never be, medicine. 🧵 3/5
