That's humanism! Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/

The NHS is improving rapidly under Labour.

You wonโ€™t hear it from the right-wing press, but the stats speak for themselves.

5 *evidence-backed* ways itโ€™s getting better:

European Movement We're the UK's largest pro-European movement. Our goal is to reverse the calamity of Brexit and restore relations with our European neighbours.

If youโ€™re outraged by Trump & Vance and want to *do* somethingโ€ฆ

Join European Movement UK.

The UK needs to get back to being a full member state asap - as Europe needs to unite hard.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraรฏni

I believe this is a photo of #NCFC fans in Sheffield on this day in 1959.
Some real characters in there.

The right-wing lurch of the Newsquest former Archant titles continues. Reform candidate for Norwich North - who gained 18% of the vote - is given free rein to comment on non-story in today's EDP. Depressing just how much successive management teams have trashed this title.

Tory coalition of chaos with Nigel Farage 'would lead to NHS charging for ops' The warning comes as the two right-wing parties have been neck and neck in polls in recent weeks - with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch already facing questions about joining forces with Reform UK

Tony Slattery was an incredibly funny and intelligent man

I remember as a kid watching him on the TV in hysterics amazed by his quick wit

And a few years ago the admiration I had for him, opening up to the world about his demons and battles with addiction

RIP Tony, a truly funny man

๐Ÿ“ˆLots of charts doing rounds re market jitters in the UK.
Here's one I find quite helpful ๐Ÿ‘‡
It's the cost of insuring UK debt against default.
Two things to note:
1. People ARE more concerned. The CDS spread HAS jumped up recently.
2. It's nothing like what happened in 2022.

Religions and the religious do not own, or have monopoly on, morality.
Morality belongs to humanity. You donโ€™t need a god to know whatโ€™s right and whatโ€™s not.

Of course, #NCFC beat Pep's Man City before it became fashionable to do so..
and it didn't require an expensive squad to do it.

A screenshot of a tweet from The Cricketer, saying "The ECB has cut its ยฃ15,000 annual funding for the ECB 50+ County Championship, five months before the 2025 competition was set to begin".

A screenshot of a tweet from The Cricketer, saying "The ECB has cut its ยฃ15,000 annual funding for the ECB 50+ County Championship, five months before the 2025 competition was set to begin".

ยฃ15,000 cut here, ยฃ200,000 cut from the university cricket programme, big reductions in planned pay rises for The Hundred.

The ECB appears to be in severe and sudden financial difficulties, which seems bizarre for an organisation which had a turnover of ยฃ334m last year.
