🚨 Our new investigation out today reveals how thousands of people who've taken their bosses to employment tribunals & won, never got paid, even after they approached the government for help. This has serious implications for the Employment rights bill. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Tuesday marks 75 years since the historic September 30, 1950 Doll & Hill BMJ paper confirming smoking as a cause of lung cancer. For 75 years tobacco companies have been selling and promoting products they know are lethal when used as intended. www.bmj.com/content/2/46...

www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o... Hard to believe that this idea has come round again. We spent so long last year making the case against ET fees. We argued strongly that the introduction of these fees is not in the interests of access to justice. www.thefru.org.uk/public-consu...

Jeesuz. Got to have hearing aids! Nothing profound. But definitely lost hearing in both ears. So, like glasses, initially use them only when I feel the need. Hey ho. Why am I old.

Are you interested in death, dying, loss, grief, and related topics, from historical studies to current issues? Then I'd recommend following @openthanatology.bsky.social and keeping an eye out for resources it shares.

I always remember when Anne Robinson tried to do her school ma’am act on Ricky Hatton on Celebrity Weakest Link. AR: “Ricky - you were the weakest link in that round. Why do you think that is?” RH: “Probably because I get punched in the head for a living, Anne.”

Have a friend currently down on his luck in Manchester who could do with a long term loan of an electric bike. Can anyone help?

Delighted to have @annadixonmp.bsky.social visit our www.upcyclemcf.org shop in Shipley last week. She was really interested in the work we do and highly supportive. The team showed their dedication and I know we have started a good relationship.

How is AI going to clean someone who has soiled themselves? How is AI going to cook a meal? How is AI going to be present physically and see when someone is struggling and needs urgent medical care? How is AI going to just listen and be compassionate and a "friend"?

Lovely day for it!! Please support us if you can 🙏

While I’ll be walking in Charlotte’s memory I shall also be thinking of an old friend recently diagnosed with glioblastoma. He isn’t going to get better. More research is desperately needed to reverse such tragic outcomes. Please give a £1 or £2 if you can, a RT also appreciated x thank you x
