Top right photo: Attendees sit in rows of chairs listening and speaking during a discussion. A woman in a green and black striped jumper gestures while talking as others watch attentively.
Bottom left photo: The meeting in progress, with people seated facing the screen at the front of the room where a presentation and remote participants are visible.
Bottom right photo: Small groups stand chatting and smiling after the meeting, creating a friendly, sociable atmosphere.
At the bottom, a slogan reads โ€œLETโ€™S TURN BRADFORD GREEN,โ€ alongside the Green Party logo and the text โ€œGreen Party Bradford District.โ€ Small print states it was promoted by D Parkinson on behalf of Bradford District Green Party, with a Shipley address.

Thousands of patients waiting over 24 hours in A&E 'corridor care' Known as "corridor care", patients are lining up on trolleys or sitting on chairs due to a lack of beds.

Corridor care is the most visceral evidence of systemic NHS collapse. ๐Ÿ“‰

The BBCโ€™s 52k figure builds on the RCN's "national emergency" declaration: the NHS is failing its most basic function of providing dignified, safe care.

Great to hear @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaking at an event to launch @transactualuk.bsky.socialโ€™s Trans Lives report. When he talks about inclusion and solidarity he really means it.

Judicial Review Launched Over Public Order Act Amendment On 4 February, the House of Lords voted not to block the Governmentโ€™s changes to the Public Order Act, expanding the definition of โ€œkey national infrastructureโ€ to include animal testing facilities.

GOOD NEWS! Lawyers for Animals, alongside co-claimant Maria Iriart from Camp Beagle, are now pursuing a judicial review challenging the decision to classify the life sciences sector, including animal testing facilities, as key national infrastructure

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.

World Hearing Day 2026 
Itโ€™s time to talk about hearing

18 million people have hearing loss in the UK, yet many people continue to ignore the symptoms. 

66% of hearing aid users wish they had started using them sooner. 

Older people with hearing loss are two and a half times more likely to suffer from 
mental ill health.

Managing age-related hearing loss with hearing aids, in people aged between 45-65 
years, could reduce their risk of dementia in later life by 7%.

THE GREAT RESIGNATION
The UK economy loses an estimated 
ยฃ25 billion
each year in lost productivity and unemployment due to unaddressed hearing loss.

40% of people with hearing loss retire early due to struggles with communication at work.
