It was great to welcome Tough Enough to Care to Parliament for a catch-up.

Tough Enough to Care is the fantastic men’s mental health charity based in Wirksworth. The group’s mission to break down the stigma around men opening up about mental health is life-changing and, in many cases, life-saving.

@derbyshirearch.bsky.social Dog walk find in a recently ploughed field south of Ashbourne. To my knowledge this is the first time the field has been ploughed in a long time. Is it old or not? As you can see it’s glazed on the inside and unglazed on the outside.

Brexit is bad for our health (as predicted). There’s an urgent need now to repair the damage done and get health research and provision back on its feet.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House.

Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality.

Ancient DNA from 348 individuals suggests that pale skin became the predominant characteristic of people living in Europe much later than assumed

@thebhp.bsky.social Great listen on your piece about Childhood games. I live near Ashbourne in the Peak District and thought if you wanted to see medieval football you might like this.
