Smart, kind, and gentle. Not sure if they make 'em like that anymore.

RIP Jimmy Carter (1924 - 2024).

If you care about the future of the NHS & you see this on Boxing Day, please could you share this?

If we want privatisation to be removed from the NHS, NHS campaigners like me have a *lot* of work to do next year andโ€ฆIโ€™d just like to see if people care enough about this for our campaigning to workโ€ฆ

Special Economic Zones???
It goes like this: break up a nation, subdivide the land, invite foreign venture capitalists in, and hand over powers of governance to them while reducing elected government oversight.๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

Good palliative care can alleviate the pain of dying โ€“ this bill means Labour must fund it | Rachel Clarke Making dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
& Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD.

If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?

Exploring the Welsh language: a Bylines Network Podcast episode Thereโ€™s a fuss kicked up every time an English name for a Welsh landmark is replaced by the Welsh language name. Perhaps some awareness raising will help

Well that was a fascinating short article and podcast on the history of the Welsh language.

My grandad was from Cardiff - and Welsh always felt ancient and magical to me, so I loved this. The podcast starts with a great bit about some ancient Welsh laws that were written down at the time!
