I've gone over to the blue side 🦋 Sad goodbye to the many years of chats, friends and connections on Twitter. Good riddance to X. See you in the blue zone! bsky.app/profile/alexm11.bsk…

Shame on Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson, who refused to provide 10,000 extra NHS beds to help manage covid and to bring down waiting lists. Instead, they wanted more use of the private sector. Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting decision making at the start of the pandemic #CovidInquiry Jacqueline Carey, "In July 2020 NHS England sought 10,000 non temporary beds, to deal with recovery and future surges" "You go on to say the request for the funding was not approved by Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson" "Why did you need 10,000 extra beds in the NHS?" Amanda Pritchard, CEO NHS England, "We wanted to do both covid and non-covid work" Jacqueline Carey, "And the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's office was involved in the decision to refuse, they wanted more use of Nightingales and the independent sector" "What were the consequences of Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson refusing those 10,000 beds?" Amanda Pritchard, "It was disappointing.. We could have been in a different position.. We could have treated thousands of more patients as well as being more resilient going into the second wave.. We would be in a very different position now"

This PlayLaw is wonderful, in a world where spaces are designed to stop young people loitering & this is just a part of being young. Us older folk took loitering for granted. Better, it's in a space where young folk love to loiter. Wonderful stuff @ThePlaylaws @CambJunction

Not a demand - an invitation, as play should be. These plaques have been developed by the community, as an invitation for all to add a bit more play into their lives ❤️ thanks to @PlayfulAnytime

Such a fabulous evening - and great to celebrate with all my co-playful-leads for our CATE award

Forget cosmetic surgery, I can tell you now that the people who make play their lives actually look and present as at least 10 years younger than their age. Everybody I work with has that natural effervescence & glow Thinking of other playful peeps too @smizz @Fi_PlayScotland
