Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs. It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper. If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population. Did you know about it? No? A thread 🧵

You’d think the officials from the country where it all began #Rugby would err on the side of allowing a great game to show its flair. What a shame #Foley and #Barnes what a shame. #allblacks #RWC2023Final #RWC2023

I ❤️ the idea of Trojan mice, more and more I’m just doing and not asking, scrum in action if decision makers don’t like I’ll stop, remove, back peddle because I am so so so tired of waiting for a yes to make even small, tiny, changes happen 🐭

What’s your favourite london bus? Mine is definitely the number 73. Socks designed by Lino who is profoundly deaf, learning disability and a photographic memory that helps creates fantastic artwork at Revere.

Volunteering opportunities are as diverse as the communities we live in. From grassroots social action and helping out in a local voluntary organisation, to regular volunteering roles for a large charity or in the public sector. 1/4

The #TheBigHelpOut is a national day of volunteering and one of the centrepieces of the King’s Coronation celebrations. Hundreds of activities are planned for the day by local groups, organisations and charities including @scouts, @RoyalVolService, @nationaltrust and @RNLI

After 3 weeks reporting on the Ocean Viking search and rescue ship, I've hung up my lifejacket. I'm taking a bit of time off now, but here's a recap of my reports. They aren't easy reading, but I urge you to take a look - not enough is known about what's happening in the Med.🧵

These two beautiful humans have been best friends since they were tots & have lived together since they were 16. Both have severe learning disabilities & neither use spoken words to communicate. They just ‘get each other’ in the most special way. This picture speaks volumes ❤️❤️
