1) This is why I think we are all doomed. I started this petition demanding electricity from renewables (over 50% of all electricity now in the UK) be detached from the much more expensive cost of wholesale gas. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...
Petition: Ban cheap renewable energy from being charged at the price of expensive gas
Mandate energy providers to stop charging the same price as expensive gas for much cheaper renewable energy. We think they should pass any savings on to consumers, rather than keeping them as profit.

This is great news for UK wildlife, and human life. Stopping burning will improve our air and reduce flooding.

The fact that even needs to be 'demanded' is ridiculous. How does the UK Government think they can develop a workable workforce plan without talking to the workforce?

RCN demands greater involvement in upcoming workforce plan
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is among the health organisations who have urged the health secretary to work with them on workforce.

My feed is mostly long COVID people, autism people, and Americans talking about ICE. Everyone is talking about masking but with radically different meanings. If I scroll without paying attention it is very confusing.

It’s 18 years ago today that the attack took place in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, that took Sophie’s life 13 days later. We send love to Sophie’s family and friends and all that love her. Sophie is not just a figurehead or a banner we march behind; she was a person who should be here with us today.

This is a hugely significant moment and long overdue. Time for the truth about Orgreave & the actions of the South Yorkshire police before, during and after to be heard.

Caught COVID recently, it was nasty. I am now having a horrid relapse of long covid and not coping with the set back very well.
As much as no one wants to hear it, COVID has not gone away and it is still destroying lives. If you are ill, stay at home, stop spreading germs.

The relationship between staffing and incidents of violence and aggression on wards is complex. Today Emily Wood @emilyfwood.bsky.social reminds us that there is an urgent need for high quality evidence to inform guidelines and practice.

Another great blog edited by @sbradstreet.bsky.social 👏🏽

People often struggle to believe the experiences and symptoms disabled people have... Because they cannot believe we live with that and still keep going.

The truth is that we do it because we have to and have no choice, not because they are less severe than we are saying.
