Thanks to everyone (especially vet Bruno), at @Cambridge_Uni dept of Veterinary Medicine, Herbie is now home and can start to recover. ❤️
The bestest doggo has had to have back surgery today. I'm a wreck. 😢
That's it, @MetWeatherUK, @bbcweather, @SkyNewsWeather you can all shut up shop, we don't need you anymore. A quick look at @sascampaigns sewage dumping map instantly tells you exactly where it's been raining and in real time.
#JohnBkanke is renowned as he’s the first Black African person in British history for whom we have both an image and written record… This doc shows him successfully petitioning Henry VIII for a pay increase….
Boris Johnson wants to talk about his legacy. Okay, let’s talk about his legacy
This has made my year! Paging @David1356
Hello -- some news! I've adapted Susan Cooper's cult-classic novel, The Dark Is Rising, for a 12-part audio drama/podcast on @bbcworldservice Dir. & co-adapted by @SimonMcBurney Starring Toby Jones, Harriet Walter. Music by @JohnnyFlynnHQ & more. #TheDarkIsRising Brief 🧵
Perhaps when debating a possible return by Boris Johnson UK news shows could play this video - watched almost 45 million times - which shows him repeatedly misleading Parliament & serially breaking the Ministerial Code by refusing to correct the record

A reminder that Jeremy Hunt, when Health Secretary, sold the state-owned NHS blood plasma supplier - Plasma Resources UK - to Bain Capital, a US company co-founded Mitt Romney, in a £230m deal. Bain Capital then sold it on to the Chinese Creat Group. For £820m.
Speaking as a synagogue librarian who is sick of antisemitism and the Holocaust being taught incorrectly: PLEASE DON'T TEACH OR RECOMMEND THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS. It's the number one taught Holocaust book. IT SYMPATHIZES WITH THE NAZIS. It is factually inaccurate.
In 19th century Europe, C-sections were performed only in direst need and maternal mortality was very high. At the same time in Africa, indigenous people were performing the operation successfully saving both. Have a #BlackHistoryMonth thread on Banyoro obstetric surgery.
A fire on Chile's Easter Island has caused irreparable damage to its iconic ‘Moai’ stone statues. The blaze swept through Rapa Nui National Park earlier this week, causing several stones to crack, Mayor Pedro Edmunds told @Reuters reut.rs/3Vc5wAh
Wait. The US has caramel inside their Milky Way?! 🤯
Be diligent and check your child's candy this year, just found an invasive silver carp shoved inside a Milky Way. No words.
There’s an argument that a truly great song should still work when played in a variety of styles. I’m not sure, sometimes the vibe is the essence. But saying that, I bloody love a good pop punk cover to reveal the underlying structural genius of a banger youtu.be/CUbul4f8AX8
Some clarity from the very wonderful Mike Pickering of M People who co-wrote Moving on Up with Paul Heard.
So apparently we can't stop Truss walking out to our song, very weird! So sad it got used by this shower of a government. BTW Truss labour used it with permission in 90's. I don't want my song being a soundtrack to lies.
This is nonsense. To make that stamp duty saving you'd need to be buying a £500,000+ property. With 10% deposit, cheapest fix mortgage would cost £2,400/mth (£28,000/yr). How can someone on £30k afford that I am asking treasury to remove.
