“I don’t think that they should be going on strike” @emilythornberry says she hopes a “settlement is agreed that is fair” in the planned nurses strike and says Labour has a plan to “vastly increase” NHS staff numbers #bbcqt xitter.cf/bbcquestiontime/status…

As promised, here's a few fantastic facts about #singing & #wellbeing: An estimated 2.8m Britons are part of a choir or singing group 🎶Singing can improve breathing, posture and muscle tension, as well as releasing neurochemicals such as β-endorphin, dopamine and serotonin🧠

Just a little exercise can improve the longevity of older people. Schemes like Open Age should be more widely available and better funded to give older people the opportunity to stay active and stay connected 🤗 bit.ly/2KOX6gj

Lets stop all this nonsense about being called ‘Old” or denying you are old How about we recognise that you are LUCKY to have the chance to get old. That when you do make it to an old age, you have lived and learned a lot. A wiser person who has reached the happiest years!
