A #TeamUSA athlete said he prepared himself for his #Olympics swim in the Seine by not washing his hands after using the bathroom, in order to up “his E.coli threshold”🤢 Reading's Dr Simon Clarke says please do NOT try that at home 💩 #Paris2024

I drove east into London on the A40 this afternoon. Light breeze, not too hot. London is always beautiful in the sunshine. Drove past Uxbridge. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens. Drove past Greenford. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and

On my way to #STAMMAFEST in Nottingham. Looking forward to meeting with friends old and new, room hosting and co-facilitating the first in-person Research Arena on Sunday! This weekend will also mark the end of a wonderful and busy 6 years as a STAMMA Trustee ❤️

Safe to say we're disappointed😞 We haven't forgotten about The Labour Party's pledge to fund early language interventions – read our 'Getting in Early' report to find out why this is so important! >>speechandlanguage.org.uk/the-issue/our-… #Lab24 #Policy #EarlyYears #EYFS #EarlyYearsEducation

Please read this testimony from ICU Prof ⁦Dr Kevin Fong⁩ at the UK Covid-19 Inquiry⁩ & know that this - this - is what it was truly like. All those despicable Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers & scamdemic artists have blood on their hands & should hang their sorry heads in shame.

Every time someone tries to cut down on "benefits fraud", it results in countless people being unable to get what they're eligible and entitled to, and need to survive. Yes, fraud is bad. But leaving vulnerable people to suffer is far, far worse.

I see Boris Johnson’s new book is full of self-serving justifications of his behaviour during #Partygate. Please read this Guardian letter from 2022 - & never forgive, never forget that man’s reprehensible contempt for the people he governed 💔

Boris Johnson has crawled out of the woodwork to join Nigel Farage in saying the UK needs a referendum on ECHR membership If UK media is going to give him a platform to spout this boll**** it’s up to all of us to call it out. RT this if you agree

Since Keir Starmer made a promise to have assisted suicide debated in Parliament, perhaps he can now make another promise? That he & his MPs will watch my BBC The Open University doc 'Better Off Dead?' to hear why so many of us are terrified of these laws? bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
