It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that just days after Rishi Sunak promised “No tricks, no ambiguity” he’s already quietly editing the small print

It’s January 5th in Burlington Vermont and it’s raining outside. This is wrong. All of this is wrong. I don’t think we are really ready to grapple with the devastation we will soon witness.

I got a bit irritated with my mother on the phone a few weeks ago when she said that she didn't believe global warming was necessarily all the fault of humans.
I think this is the new climate change deniers' line to soften the attack on fossil fuels, and it's sucking people in. The thing is, even if some other (as yet unidentified) element is contributing, it doesn't make any difference to the need to do something about our contribution to #climatechange.

Petition: Reintroduce masks in public transports and public indoor places

With COVID-19 on the rise again this winter, people need to mask again in public transports and public indoor places in order to reduce the spread of the virus and therefore protect themselves, their loved ones and vulnerable and disabled individuals.

For reasons that I'll never understand at the age of 13 my daughter set her heart on becoming a doctor. She dedicated herself to getting the best standard grades (Scottish GCSE) & highers (A Level equivalent). Went to university & after 5 years at medical school, 2 years as a foundation doctor & 4 years in a training grade post she is an A&E #Registrar aka a #Junior_Doctor in the #NHS. She works a 48 hour week & because of #Jeremy_Hunt gets paid just over £30k. Why she stays I do not know.

The truth is, we never surrendered our sovereignty to the EEC/EU.

That's why we could foolishly choose to leave in 2016 without having to seek permission.

Contrast with Scotland's situation within the UK.
