People who see this and think C-19 is no longer around, or is just a cold. Not personal, as you clearly take it seriously.

To try to raise awareness that, while some people are fortunate to be able to recover from their infection, many take a long time to see any improvement, while others have their health permanently damaged.

You're very lucky to have recovered from LC. There are many whose lives have been devastated by just 1 infection and have lost their careers, relationships & homes as they're unable to work or take part in normal life. C-19 is still infecting & causing harm, despite the silence from those in charge.

Cottrell also has links to that model of probity - the US president.

True - the care home where my sister lives lost most of it's European staff due to Brexit and now relies on staff from Africa and India. There are currently around 100,000 UK care vacancies and the sector will likely collapse if care workers don't have certainty about how long they can remain here.

I'll forgive the 1 wonky brick as the rest of the brickwork is so perfectly done - it looks a bit like basketwork and is really unusual and beautiful.

The care sector is already on it's knees. If Govt is serious about finding a long term solution to the problem of Social Care, having a policy that deters people from coming to the UK to work in the care sector would be completely counter productive.

Yes, MPs would get a much better understanding of people's experiences and what they'd like them to do if they met a broader range of people in different settings. Door knocking in the run-up to an election is never a reliable way to find out what people want, or even how they plan to vote.

Also, any well-run business evolves to meet changing market and staffing needs, so tailoring courses to meet specific local requirements at any one time isn't particularly useful. Another disadvantage of having too many MPs without any actual business experience.

Today is the 75th anniversary of the UN Refugee Convention. To mark this anniversary, we're sharing the remarkable story of how Lord Alf Dubs escaped the Holocaust on the Kindertransport at just six years old.

Bill Oddie has died aged 85. We'll certainly be thinking of this quote today. #Humanist #Nature #Birdwatching #Humanists #HumanistsUK #BillOddie

I've been through this system twice, first with my mother (Vascular Dementia) and more recently my sister (Alzheimer's). Dan gives a perfect explanation of how ridiculous, and grossly unfair for a lot of people, the social care system is.

Yes - Social Care should be part of the NHS. They're both there to look after people's wellbeing and separating them is partly to blame for the current situation. Funding is split between central Govt & councils, with many unable to provide an adequate service. It's a mess and people are suffering.

This is terrifying and catastrophic. People's lives are in danger, so are their homes, livelihoods and the lives and habitats of animals, birds and other species. Furthermore, the scale and intensity of these fires is raising temperatures and air pollution, posing more threats to public health. .

It's welcome news for the businesses that will benefit, assuming they survive until next April. Also important is demand - without customers able/willing to spend they don't have a business, so Govt needs to look at ways of stimulating demand and help people to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Agree. The visual of the front elevation doesn't do it justice, as it looks like it would be quite dark inside. Far from it - the interior design shows stunning light-filled spaces with a variety of interesting shapes for visitors to enjoy. Couldn't be more different from that unappealing white box.

They'll probably do what they usually do with difficult issues - have a lengthy review.

I have no idea where this came from - but since I saw it, you have to see it too. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Burnham is already doing what Govts love - tinkering, this time with electricity bills and bus fares. He's got 3 years before the next GE (unless he calls an early one) to persuade the public to keep him for 5 more years and will need to do more than short term tinkering, whether he likes it or not.
