The hidden cost of low pay in the social care sector Low pay in the care sector is contributing to high staff turnover and costing providers, and users, billions of pounds.

Read our latest report on why we need a new settlement for care worker pay, with care workers paid the Real Living Wage, if we want a more productive, fairer care sector.

New today: Transport for London is directly commissioning solar power projects to help run the Tube.

New collaboration "could deliver up to 65,000 megawatt hours of renewable electricity" - e.g. around two-thirds of the est. annual consumption of the Victoria line.

I’ve still got my paper copy too if you’d like a spare, though the back page ripped coming out of the envelope!

How does food get in to the desert city? By the blocked off access to the sea or the closed/bombed airport?

I thought he was!!! I kept putting in “kidney doc” to find him but it wasn’t coming up!

I like Bluesky but the search functions aren’t as good as they used to be in other places….

Thank you for helping!

And as Farage himself said, FPTP is your enemy until you get to about 25% and then it becomes your friend. A certain irony if the Labour and Tory parties are destroyed by the same ridiculous voting system that they’ve championed.

Agreed.

Listening to Darren Jones floundering on Today, I think the govt needs to talk more candidly about its differences with the US.

That can still be respectful - this isn't "Love Actually" - but when a US President is phoning the UK press to attack the PM, there's no point rolling out the usual script

I'd love to know what the plan is when a huge proportion of people are laid off thanks to AI or whatever and there are no jobs for them to go to, no way for them to earn money to live.

Drop in overseas workers is ‘car crash’ for UK hospitals and care homes, say experts Care roles hit particularly hard by UK’s lurch to the right on migration, according to analysis of Home Office data

Article about Dr Ash Patel who bakes cakes for his team.

I can’t find Ash on here, but that doesn’t mean Bluesky should miss out on this recent piece in the @bmj.com!

He’s a children’s kidney doctor, and I’m sure his team appreciate his creations.

Geriatricians (like me) are often keen bakers. Cake features in many multidisciplinary meetings!

I think you’re right there.

I’ve just finished listening to “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah.

Stories of occupied World War II France are particularly distressing at the moment.

How can we have failed so badly to learn from history?

One year ago governments around the world announced historic aid cuts. These cuts are not abstract. They are immediate. And they are deadly.

🔗 Read the joint statement from charity leaders urging governments to reverse the cuts:

Varies quite a lot. Some people not too bothered by it but others say it’s one of the worst pains you can get.

That’s what I wondered.

Total eclipse of the full blood moon is tonight, in case you haven’t checked in on the doom portents lately.

Renewable Energy Defies Trump’s Attacks, Reaching a New Record Wind, solar and other green sources generated more than a quarter of all US energy last year.

Despite Trump's frantic efforts to stop it, the renewable energy revolution rolls on:

"93% of new generation capacity expected to be added to the grid this year will come from wind, solar and batteries"

Thank you! It was!

Thank you!

We were very lucky. We were substituting for friends who couldn’t go but didn’t want the tickets to go to waste.

It was amazing.

Farage's Reform bandwagon has stalled & beginning to go into reverse. There is a clear ceiling to Farage's support of abt 30% in the polls & the increasingly radicalised & racist language from Reform & successive failure to win by-elections is having a detrimental impact.

Question/advice needed for bicycle/active travel people on here. Our primary school is creating first proper bike/scooter park. What are the elements we need to consider to make it a huge success? Shelter? Security? All thoughts welcome

Let me make something clear.

Britain has been flying missions out of Cyprus to defend Israel and US military installations attacking Iran.

This is not 'defensive' this is being at war.

Facebook post by the Daily Mail: 'I'm not only trappedin a warzone, but I'm going to get fat again as well." "I'm trapped and under attack in Dubai - but worst of all, I left my Mounjaro pen in the fridge"

It's Private Eye I feel sorry for. How do you spoof The Daily Mail these days?
