I just can’t enjoy fireworks now I know how much distress they cause. I don’t know the best compromise but this petition is doing well and at 100k sigs will be considered for debate in Parliament so I’m getting behind it. Please consider signing and sharing.

Petition: Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only
Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks.

💡 Just discovered my AI browser can breeze through online quizzes—the very ones many of us use for mandatory training.
So here’s the real question:
Are we finally witnessing the (long overdue) end of point-and-click eLearning?

Met police arrested a woman in her 90s today, and a number of retired medics (amongst others). This is not right. We need to protect our democratic right to protest. They were peaceful protesters doing nothing more than holding a sign with non-violent words. This cannot be a crime.

This report covers a lot, including a deep dive into healthcare, but a key takeaway for me is how important AI literacy is perceived, and the news that the latest version of their digital competency framework, DigComp 3.0, will include AI-related competences.

No recognition of the need for whole system reform. Key message is that IJBs need to find ways to transform services so they are affordable — and also invest in prevention & early intervention. It’s no surprise that COs & CFOs are leaving when they’re left holding the baby.
Integration Joint Boards plan and commission vital community-based health and social care services.
Funding for IJBs has increased.
Despite this, there's overspending, running down of reserves and reliance on one-off savings.
