This really worries me A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/1…

Elon Musk could build hospitals. He could fund schools and universities. He could help eradicate diseases. Instead he uses his wealth to fuel hate.

Yup

@CarlBovisNature Both are beautiful 🥰

A JUDGE HAD NO WORKERS RIGHTS Claire Gilham was a district judge in Warrington. She spent her days dealing with some of the most difficult civil and family cases in the North West. People going through divorce, debt, custody battles. The kind of work that matters. The courts she worked in were a mess. Unsafe buildings. Overworked staff. Budget cuts so deep that basic safety was gone. Violent people in courtrooms with no security. She even received death threats. She reported it. Formally. In writing. To the people above her. Their response was remarkable. They told her the problems she was describing were not really problems. They were just her personal working style. She was then bullied and loaded with extra work for daring to speak up. So she did what any reasonable person would do. She took the Ministry of Justice @MoJGovUK to an employment tribunal. Here is where it gets truly absurd. A judge in England has no whistleblower protection. None. The law that protects workers who speak out about wrongdoing did not cover judges because judges are classified as office-holders, not workers. The person sitting in court enforcing the law for everyone else had fewer legal rights than almost anyone sitting in front of her. She lost at tribunal. She lost at the Court of Appeal. She started a crowdfunding campaign just to keep the case alive. Most people would have stopped. She did not stop. In October 2019, after seven years, @UKSupremeCourt ruled in her favour. Unanimously. Five judges, zero dissent. The law was rewritten to protect judges who blow the whistle. And the ruling went further, helping workers across the public and private sectors who had been denied the same protection. One judge. No institutional backing. Fighting the entire Ministry of Justice with a crowdfunding page. She changed the law for everyone. @guardian @BBCNews @lawgazette @thetimes @UKSupremeCourt - Gilham v Ministry of Justice [2019] UKSC 44

Be aware: They’re going to try to convince the public that the shocking weather disasters well see over the next 18 months are just because of the El Niño - and not explain it’s on the back of record global warming.

That's it in a nutshell

A lady discovered a hedgehog firmly stuck in her garden gate. Unable to free it herself, she removed the entire gate and carefully transported both gate and hedgehog in the back of her car to Tiggywinkles! After skillfully getting it free, it was given a safe place to recover.

@MittensOff @BionicBirdAnna Can he read? Is there any evidence of this?

She fled her home. She saved her nurse’s uniform. Not her jewellery. Not possessions. Her uniform because she wanted to keep caring for people. That tells you everything about her. This is the Britain I believe in: one that values compassion, courage and those who contribute to our communities.

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities. I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs. God

This one hits hard.

@MittensOff They need to be stopped. They sound plain ignorant but they're actually dangerous and naive.

George Finch, the Reform UK leader of Warwickshire County Council, has been accused of bigotry and censorship after suggesting LGBTQ+ books should be removed from local libraries. But where exactly does this end? Libraries hold books on socialism and capitalism, atheism and every religion under the sun, evolution, the monarchy, and countless other contested ideas. That’s the point of a library: a place where people encounter perspectives that challenge, stretch, and broaden the mind. Finch is only 19, and it shows. He may simply not have read enough to grasp how books cultivate critical thinking, empathy, and a more informed, more tolerant society. Who on earth keeps voting for people this determined to stay ignorant? #ReformUK

The speed with which our once stable climate is falling apart is just astonishing, and very, very, scary Maybe not that surprising when you consider that our world is heating faster than at any time across the 4.6 billion year geological record theguardian.com/environment/20…
