🧵On @thenewsagents.co.uk yesterday, school closures and the lab leak theory were offered as two examples of legitimate questions that were hard to ask. Both have in fact been asked constantly since 2020. But here's a thread on why I think they were wrong and dangerous on school closures 1/12

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

🔥 Harrods: What do the survivors do now?? The courts, the redress scheme, the police — all form part of the same legal abyss. ◾ Survivors cannot access the courts, let alone for trafficking ◾ Harrods’ “redress” is run by the institution itself ◾ The Met refuses to name the crimes as trafficking

She has a hospitality degree, as an adult has always worked full time, and was a manager in Ukraine. She has ambitions. Proud to be paying taxes and her way. But this isn’t enough.

We live in Britain, and there are now profound questions to ask our government. There's no conceivable bridge between Europe & this US administration. Whether we escape tariffs is a laughably parochial question. Yesterday is now an awfully long time ago.

Sorry UK, I'm all for deeper UK-EU security cooperation at this moment, but forget about this bridge illusion. The EU will speak for itself. And you cannot pretend to speak 'for Europe' and at the same meeting call for tariff carve outs playing on being 'not Europe'. From: on.ft.com/4gLuvnQ

I tried out my brand new drsyuit on Thursday for practising various rescues in a sea kayak. I got completely soaked and feet filled up with water. My narrow wrists might be the problem but I now have little confidence in the suit. Where do I start? #kayaking #drysuit #soaked

No work and I was thinking my life was too quiet, and then the last 7 days of seeing wildlife. Running: a badger, deer and fox. Kayaking: otters, a few sea eagles and some dolphins. Sitting on bench: a porpoise Look around: rainbow, snow, hail, sun, mist, black clouds, aurora A busy 7 days

The Government should force the Post Office to do the right thing and cover postmasters' legal costs, at this initial stage as well as during the actual appeal process.

The Post Office is pushing postmasters to accept £75,000 compensation without legal advice. The Government needs to act quickly to fix this. Thread:

Also: when I phoned to ask about my mother who had died of (hospital-acquired) COVID, they said they’d temporarily lost her body as there’d been so many deaths that day they’d used mobile “overflow mortuaries”and got behind with the paperwork. Call handler broke down in tears said “I can’t do this”.
