I just signed Warm This Winter's petition demanding emergency government action to tackle the cost of living crisis, can you join me?

7 million households have been pushed into fuel poverty this winter, and that number is set to rise in April when government support ends. You can sign the petition here: https://nwmd.io/s/email/Zxc-BTLEHPDtQGylKLE=/r

We're asking the government to provide urgent financial support, upgrade and insulate homes to make them energy efficient.

Warm This Winter: UK Govt, Keep People Warm This Winter

7 million households are already living in fuel poverty, unable to heat their - call on the UK government to act now to make sure everyone is warm this winter.

"Brexit has lead to 4285 fewer European doctors choosing to joining the NHS - at a time when we're short of over 10,000 NHS doctors.

And a staggering 58,000 fewer European nurses have joined.

What a spectacular act of national self-harm 😔

This is bombshell reporting into what must now be a raging national scandal.

For govt buddies to take many millions from the public purse for unusable equipment during a pandemic when people are dying - and then lie about it…

…is sick and unforgivable.

If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend Werner Herzog’s The Fire Within about volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft. An epic, beautiful, sobering and intimate film about their extraordinary lives and tragic deaths. It’s on iplayer now #storyville https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001d7lc/storyville-the-fire-within

Have you ever seen an oak tree dance?

Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, western/northwestern parts of Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.

When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.
