🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

Should you wear a mask if you've got symptomatic flu? YES. If you wear it at home *from the onset of your symptoms*, your family members are much less likely to catch flu from you (but you must avoid unmasked co-sleeping and eating around same table - have your meals alone). 1/

Maybe the NHS, given the generally low uptake, should be making free flu (and COVID) shots much more widely available. It's almost like no-one had ever mentioned "spoiling a ship for a ha'porth of tar". Losses in economic activity or days in school, anyone?

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.

NEW: Former Reform MEP Nathan Gill is sentenced to 10.5 years at the Old Bailey on 8 counts of bribery by a Russian agent. The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb. Here is the evidence…

We must copy Denmark Social Democrats' hardline anti-asylum measures in order to win back voters' trust, says Shabana Mahmood. Meanwhile in Denmark:

'Et katastrofevalg' Felly, os ydw'i wedi deall, Democratiaid Cymdeithasol Denmarc yw'r model ar gyfer y Blaid Lafur Brydeinig? Hmmm... So the Danish Social Democrats are the new model for the British Labour Party. Meanwhile, in Denmark... www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

This is what happens when the Centre Left follow far right policies on immigration. Is Labour watching? Those Danish immigration policies still looking attractive?

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed” basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again. i feel that with my dad.

Labour's MP for Folkestone says the government has taken "the wrong turning" on its plans for asylum seekers. "The rhetoric around these reforms encourages the same culture of divisiveness that sees racism and abuse growing in our communities."

This sums up the absurdity of the whole anti-vax argument. Yes, every medicine comes with some level of risk. But that risk is lower than that of not using the medicine. It comes down to a simple question: do you want you (or your children) to take the small risk or the much higher one?

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said.. “I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons” More celebrities need to speak out like this.

Tom Hanks explains that he wears masks on public transport because, "I've had covid enough in my life, I don't need to do that again"

A weak spot in the Earth’s magnetic field has nearly doubled in surface area since 2014. BGS Geophysicist Ciarán Beggan appeared on @earthskyscience.bsky.social's podcast to explain why this is happening, and what the consequences might be. Watch the full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=az8K...

For 61 years the #BBCWorldService has been broadcasting the latest in science via its weekly Science in Action programme. That dies in the next half hour, with this final edition, reflecting on the fall in trust in expertise driven by malign interests over recent years.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.

Gabriel Gatehouse,"What Reform UK is doing quite dangerously from a social point of view is exactly the same as what MAGA and Trump have been doing" "If you think there isn't a market for that kind of anti establishment feeling here in the UK" "Then we haven't learnt anything from 2016 and Brexit"

Reform’s immigration plan falls apart on hard contact with evidence, economics and any form of engaged brain. Never be afraid to stand up for this country and its decency and future by giving them short shrift.

These protection areas, 1/4 of wales, are very last century, bureaucratic and I’d suggest often don’t serve the people in the areas designated that well. Time to take them all out and manage wales as a whole properly. My home north of the whey outside a park. The south in 🤔

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

People defending this with technical explanations of characters and tokens. Fine, but the point is how can you trust its outputs when you need specialist knowledge to know not to ask it what appears to a lay person to be a really simple question?
