I’ve reported on homelessness for years and met many, many people who have found themselves in awful situations

Every single one of them had more decency and integrity than this privileged plutocrat

Brexit threatens one final painful sting: All-Ireland tourism All non-European tourists crossing the border into the north will need an ETA from January 8 2025

Just when you thought Brexit could do no more harm, a new economic threat looms and this time to the valuable all-Ireland foreign tourism industry. And it’s the north again that potentially has the most to lose

Fascinating thread on an overlooked form of rewilding. And combines acknowledging the skill and effort of past inhabitants without being beholden to it. We have heritagised much of the landscape that field drains created, but maintaining that landscape in a changing climate has wider consequences

Please be aware of this new role that’s being touted as a medical role. A PA is a physician assistant, NOT a doctor. There could be a place for this, but it is not for undiagnosed patients.

Trump Names Charles Kushner as Pick for Ambassador to France The announcement elevated Mr. Kushner, the father of President Donald J. Trump’s son-in-law and the recipient of a presidential pardon at the end of Mr. Trump’s first term.

"Mr. Kushner, 70, pleaded guilty in 2004 to 16 counts of tax evasion, a single count of retaliating against a federal witness and one of lying to the Federal Election Commission"
and so now he will be US ambassador to France

An inspiring flight into Manchester this morning, frosty, sunny and clear for miles. Could even see runners and dog walkers. Wondered if the first quarry is near Buxton?

A great charity to support #Bendrigg we enjoy taking our Headway members there. Very skilled and supportive staff 🥳

This is such a great platform. Nothing stopping other organisations setting up this sort of verification system.
