There is now a majority for Brexit in only three seats across the whole of the country. Three. In 629 out of the 632 constituencies across Britain, more people agree with the statement "Britain was wrong to leave the EU" than disagree with it. Magnificent.

Evidence is mounting for a link between the gut and the brain in what is termed the psychobiome—part of the microbiome—that affects how people think and feel

We’ll never stop holding power to account.💪
Here’s how we did it last year:

Solidarity with all protesting on Dartmoor today ✊ Wild camping is being rolled back & nature access commercialised, to the benefit of wealthy landowners & cost of everyone else. We need new laws to extend @Right_2Roam - my Private Members’ Bill would do just that! #RightToRoam

The care home beds being used by hospitals should be paid for by local government but it doesn’t have the funding.
The health needs of the people discharged from hospitals will be provided by primary and community services, which have no spare capacity.
Is this systems thinking?

I studied Maths until I was 16, apparently I should has studied until 18, not sure the extra 3 years would have done me any good at all!!

“You can’t get an ambulance, or a hospital bed! There’s no point in suggesting strikes are causing this problem.”
@maitlis challenges @grantshapps over proposed strike laws for ‘minimum safety levels’ during the ongoing A&E crisis.
Coming to @GlobalPlayer.

BREAKING🚨| The government has announced anti-strike legislation.
When workers democratically vote to strike, they can be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. This is wrong, unworkable, and almost certainly illegal.

"Truss didn't fall into No 10 from a spaceship, like some twin-set Mr Bean. She won the leadership because she best expressed what Conservatism has become. The attributes that broke her premiership were also those that carried her into power"@redhistorian unherd.com/2023/01/liz-truss…

I can’t help thinking - all this cash being given to private healthcare companies to “help” the NHS - wouldn’t it much, much more efficient to give it directly to… the NHS. Where there are no shareholders taking profits?

Monarchies tend to implode from within, but then a particular event accelerates the institution towards its end and that collapse opens space for something else. If it gives the Establishment a wobble, good. If socialists can leverage the story to help people, better. #MassLine

The NHS on its knees & plenty of discontent but the headlines on ITV evening news is the row between Harry & William. They’re keeping the peasants occupied with this soap opera. Rid us of the Tories and the Monarchy please

As the PM declares all pupils in England should study maths till they’re 18 to better equip them for the workplace, my view is we need a shake up eduction but not this. What we need is a wider, more creative curriculum; more art, music, the chance to work together & make stuff!
