www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is absolutely ridiculous "I can keep a disposable one at home and remember to it out with me, but I can't keep a reusable one at home and remember to take it out with me. Otherwise I'll start smoking again."

The WhatsApp groups I’m in contain a strange juxtaposition of resident doctors unhappy with their pay increase, and global health workers unhappy with aid from the US being cut for essential life-saving projects.

Despicable. These people would probably look at a kid with Kwashiorkors and tell them to lose weight. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Israel now confessing to committing war crimes. Anyone who believes that this is a one off is deluded or in denial. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Jewish teaching is clear: Trump is not God & cannot take away Palestinians’ inherent dignity or steal their land for a real estate deal. Trump’s desire to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza is morally abhorrent" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #genocide #ethniccleasing #gaza #palestine

Whatever your views are on assisted dying, it is unacceptable that the Government only provides one thid of the funding for hospice care. Why is end of life care not seen as an extension of NHS provision? #palliativecare #assisteddying #endoflife #NHS

The UK Government talks about "safe and legal routes" for people seeking asylum in the UK. Let's go through this. (a 🧵...) Here is the link to UK Government factsheet: www.gov.uk/government/p... And here is the International Rescue Committee's explanation of this: www.rescue.org/uk/article/w...

On a slightly lighter note, a special mention for the rats who assist in landmine clearance, such as Magawa. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-5... HeroRATs website, including link for donation: apopo.org/herorats/ #wholesome #rats #landmine #landmines
