I got it in four; should have been three really but I chose the wrong second letter. I'm glad I'm not the only one still doing Wordle. That and Connections are firmly part of my morning routine.

How can we be expected to suck up inevitable cuts to public services from government when they won't even look properly into the potential misuse of public money at Teesworks? One "investigation" has already found poor value for money. I suspect local Labour MPs have been let down by Ministers.

When will the government pick up on this? If there's shoddy governance at Teesworks it needs dealing with as well as publicising. So much for the NAO being parachuted in. Labour has a tough job as the new government but I don't understand why they don't grasp this nettle now.

So sorry to hear this. It's the first time I've heard of this happening; as you suggest, it's one of those unspoken things which understandably isn't shared. I just thought @doctoroxford.bsky.social 's post also shed some light on how it's dealt with. We *must* fund palliative care better.

An appeal to anyone who (understandably) recoils in horror from talk of dying patients vomiting their faeces.
This is an uncommon symptom but one which we have a wide range of options to manage - drugs, procedures, surgeries. Usually it is treatable. It can be addressed with good palliative care.

I was Sounds and NME. Then when rags like Q started giving away free CDs I'd buy any old music publication if it had a decent freebie.

I don't post much but I'm a proud Teessider, Boro fan and like to think that I am fair and equitable about politics. Love 80s indie music.

Ooh. Love Loake! No offence but they will probably outlive you.
