Take that in. Then try wrapping your head around the fact that we’re only seeing the beginning of a destabilising planet, while remembering that GHG emissions are still rising and the companies largely causing this are making record profits. A bit concerning, don’t you think?

💯. Tackling the climate emergency isn't 'convenient' for now; but we can be part of the solution one way or another, or continue to be part of the collective problem

Neerja Bhanot was a 22 year old flight attendant on a hijacked plane, Pan Am Flight 73 on 5 September 1986 during a stopover The terrorists demanded her to collect the passports of all the passengers, intending to identify the Americans among them. Recognizing the danger this posed, she and her fellow attendants under her charge hid the passports of the American passengers, some under seats and others down a garbage chute, making it difficult for the hijackers to distinguish between nationalities. As the hijacking stretched on for 17 hours the terrorists eventually resorted to violence by opening fire and setting off explosives. Neerja opened one of the airplane doors, and even though she could have been the first one to escape from the aircraft, she did not do so and instead started helping the other passengers and unaccompanied children. That is when she was caught and her courage was met with extreme cruelty. She was killed. Neerja's actions saved many lives. In addition to saving the lives of many hostages, Neerja Bhanot also helped prevent the plane from getting off the ground A young child on board, who was just seven years old at the time, grew up to become a captain for a major airline. He credits Neerja as his inspiration, acknowledging that he owes every day of his life to her

You probably won’t read in the papers today about the consultant surgeon who padlocked the operating theatres shut when there was no PPE, and safeguarded lives by refusing to operate until PPE was found. You won’t find out about the consultant who put her hand up and fought…

Healthy couples do 4 key things differently: 1. They don't engage in character attacks, shaming, or scorekeeping 2. They address it, rather than avoiding it 3. They respect disagreement rather than viewing it as a threat 4. They know when to let it go

By staying in the secretive Energy Charter Treaty, the UK Government is choosing to protect polluters over the planet. Sign the petition now and demand we leave the treaty before there’s no planet left to protect

Economics is a Mickley mouse degree. Imagine teaching people you can have infinite growth within a finite system.

URGENT: Big pharma is desperately trying to overhaul a key NHS pricing deal. If they’re successful it will cost us an extra £2.5 BILLION A YEAR – money that could be used to properly fund the NHS. Sign the petition now and demand the UK Government stops this robbery

We absolutely need more initiatives like this, for people to access life-saving medication in their communities. Much more robust than relying on big pharma

I don’t miss Minivan's black-hole-sun smile. I think of it as my first hint of MAGA: politically overrepresented, socially coddled people, often living outwardly happy privileged lives, while seething inwardly that other people might be getting anything, anything at all.

The Energy Charter Treaty lets fossil fuel firms bully governments that take vital climate action. Other countries have left the treaty – so why hasn’t the UK? Sign the petition and demand the UK Government exits the treaty, for a better future for the climate.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the story that should be leading the news. And which the police should be involved in. An attempted cover up of woeful decisions that helped contribute to loss of life. And the media in the main couldn’t give a toss. Because Huw Edwards. Ffs
