In all areas where the 20mph speed limit has been implemented or trialled, the number of fatalities and casualties has fallen.
Reform’s manifesto pledge is nonsensical. Deaths for votes!

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Not for the first time, see also denial of citizenship for refugees based on manner of entry for example, Labour appears to have forgotten that Article 34 of the Refugee Convention exists. It very explicitly was the intention of the framers that refugee protection would lead to naturalisation.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing.

Just a few days now until the “big event” at The Kelpies…

Go for it!

We did the Kiltwalk in 2019 for the same cause!

Headed out for a walk to get fit for this year's #kiltwalk. This year I'm walking 23miles for @alzscot.bsky.social - for my nanna & all who I've supported in my career. Who's going to be 1st to donate, to cheer on my tired feet from Glasgow to Balloch? 💜

Apricity: The warmth that breaks winter: a reflection on social care.

This week’s #podcast explores the lost idea of #apricity and what it might mean for #socialcare in #Scotland at a time of real neglect and lack of priority for the sector, people who are supported and the #workforce.

I light tonight’s #candleforcare on #WorldHearingDay with a focus on how important it is that as a whole society we better understand the needs of all living with #hearing loss and impairment. #HearingCareForAll

Your regular reminder than a large majority of voters - and overwhelming majority of Labour voters - favour giving settled migrants access to the welfare state after five years or less. The Home Secretary is not reforming rules in line with public opinion. She is doing the opposite.

"would otherwise receive immediate access to welfare and social housing" is BS.

Correct: "after 5 years working in a care home, would be eligible to apply for welfare and social housing on the same basis as the rest of us."

Please 🙏 stop, it’s not about mental health. It’s about a culture where the DoD is now the Department of War, intentionally.

“Just grab them by the bases”

Not to my knowledge, but it might have been.

I was at a meeting today and we heard about this and many other excellent projects.

It really appealed to me, hence sharing it!

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Ooooh yes

It is quite astonishing to remember the Iraq war, the demise of a brutal dictator there, the principled opposition of France and Germany, the chaos and regional instability that followed vindicating French and German opposition - and to see only Sanchez have the courage to take a stance.

All these informal terms - avoiding saying "delirium" - makes care FAR less effective.

Use #DELIRIUM.

When a person in hospital is restless then it often means they are experiencing #delirium.


→ Look carefully at their facial expressions - see if they might be seeing things that are not real.

→ Sometimes asking them - "are you seeing anything strange or frightening?" can help.

When speaking to person describing delusional beliefs, listen without interrupting or dismissing their experiences. Instead of immediately correcting them, say something calm and neutral like:

“That must be very frightening for you.”'
