Sofa chilling, after the first Canicross of the season this morning, I’m telling myself that being on-call means I have to stay on the sofa for the rest of the day just in case.

Back from an ace We Have Ways festival, I was blown away by the response to my talk on WWII as sexual revolution. At the last minute I added material about the far right march - I believe telling the diverse truth of those who fought in the war is a powerful tool in combating the far right now (1/4)

Following on from your excellent talk at WHWF @danellin.bsky.social @marybrazier.bsky.social the Lancaster has a number of flags in on it representing the nationality of the crew and the RAF ensign (not my photo obvs). Not all flags are bad but upside down Union Jacks are a giveaway

When you find yourself somewhat mesmerised by @scaramucci.bsky.social an excellent speaker, humorous and self deprecating of course, but more than that, insightful on personal resilience and hopeful for a post-Trump world.

When your dog is 11 on Friday and you’ve left it too late to order the bespoke birthday dog biscuits. Will she forgive me if I get the dog equivalent of a Colin the Caterpillar?

The NHS is in crisis. We support extra investment to help turn it around, but without fixing social care, no amount of funding will solve the problem. I urge the Prime Minister to ensure the Spending Review finally delivers for social care and family carers.

New research provides conclusive proof that 20mph in London is saving lives. 14 yrs of analysis at 150+ sites - reviewed by experts - shows: ❤️40% fewer deaths (vs 7% drop on roads where no changes were made) ❤️75% fewer children killed & 50% fewer kids hurt And slower speeds deliver so much more:

Today I highlighted James' story: a Glastonbury & Somerton resident with dementia who is stuck in hospital, scared & isolated. His family wants him home, but social care barriers in #Somerset are in the way. I called on the Govt to ensure people with dementia can live at home with dignity.

Today I challenged the Home Secretary to issue an impact assessment setting out what the consequences will be of stopping overseas care worker visas this year. The Home Secretary avoided the question. The government must consider the impacts on the sick, the frail and the elderly.

OK now that I've read the white paper recommendations I'd say closing the care system to overseas recruitment is the single most substantive system change. That can only plausibly work if salaries go up significantly.

Wera just wanted to visit her son in Hong Kong and meet her baby grandson for the first time. But after a 13-hour flight, the Chinese authorities turned her away – just because she’s a British MP. So heartless. And totally unacceptable.
