Are we in Psychology holding our own inquiry? If not why not? Taylor predicts much of what tragically unfolded - what have we learnt? Why weren’t we better prepared? #covidenquiry @BPSOfficial

“I have permanently lost precious memories of my children’s birthdays”
What kind of profession chooses to ignore thousands of stories like this to protect the dwindling number of their members who still believe that electrifying our brains is a good idea? telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08…

NEW RECORD:
Bordeaux has just recorded its hottest day on record with a temperature of 41.6°C, this stations data goes back to 1920.
Further heat is likely in the coming days with I suspect, more records to follow.

33°C in Namsskogan. 32°C in Laksfors.
These aren’t southern European cities — they’re towns in the #Arctic Circle.
#Norway just recorded scorching temperatures more typical of the #Mediterranean.
This is not normal.
This is #climate change on steroids, and the media is silent.

This is crazy.
Storforshei, Norway has reached 30°C for 12 consecutive days.
To be clear, this is right on the edge of the Arctic circle. The extent & duration of this heatwave is nothing short of astonishing.

When you are being asked about the lie regarding the "protective ring" resulting in the deaths of thousands of care home residents, it's not a good look to attack their bereaved families.
I look forward to you recanting the statement and issuing us all an apology

A mega heatwave is hitting Europe this week and into next weekend! Incredible temperatures of 16 °C above normal in large parts of France, with tropical nights exceeding 20 °C, putting vulnerable groups at risk.

"Shameful"
The Inquiry hears from expert virologist Prof. Deenan Pillay that the Government chose to spend billions on private consultants from Deloitte instead of listening to experts.
The labs they set up have since been dismantled.

Not only that, but experts have also warned that the UK’s pandemic preparedness and resilience have deteriorated since January 2020.
We are "exactly where we were at the start of 2020"
