It would give ‘protesters’ too much credit to say that they are merely being insensitive by assembling today and depleting police resources needed to protect British Jews from further attack. It is much worse than that. These people are chanting to ‘globalise the intifada’. Past intifadas have been campaigns of terrorist violence against Jews. That is exactly what has happened today in Manchester. It is extraordinary how slow the authorities have been to connect the dots, and there is every indication that the penny still hasn’t dropped. The police have not clamped down on these protests, even as synagogues in Manchester needed to close on Judaism’s holiest day. Apparently, the rights of the inciting mob take precedence over the freedoms of Jewish people to pray in peace. That is what Britain has come to.
'Keir Starmer won't be able to see it, but he'll definitely be able to hear it.' A violent protest has broken out at the gates of No. 10 Downing Street. LBC's @NatashaC shares what it's like on the ground.

Cancer symptoms present in many different ways, but usually they are persistent and worsen over time - check this helpful list below for common brain tumour symptoms. It's probably nothing, but it could be cancer and we need to get it checked.
One of the most important topics to raise during #BrainTumourAwarenessMonth? Common symptoms. If you are experiencing any, it is vital to get checked by a medical professional. Early diagnosis is crucial, and with a growing number of patients affected - do not take the risk.

This is really important. Worth also looking at the interactive tool on the Active Lives survey. Helps us enormously to identify which populations need the most support. @IanWakePH
Being active is not just good for you physically, it has the power to do so much more. #UnitingTheMovement

Cuckooing is where gangs target vulnerable people, taking over their homes and using them as a base for drug gangs/exploiting others. Suspect this is happening in your street? Report it anonymously via Essex Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 orlo.uk/1hCiQ

The 'Let's talk about Adult Safeguarding' booklet explores the difficult topic of abuse and neglect, which can take many forms and isn't always easy to spot. It can help if you have concerns about someone you care for possibly experiencing abuse/neglect orlo.uk/1zwQC

Wise words @Shahed__Ahmad. Systemic, embedded CVD prevention has a huge impact on both the lives of our residents and overstretched Adult Social Care budgets.
1. Lots in the news recently about the importance of social care. One of the best things we can do to support our colleagues in social care is to prevent stroke.

Thank you to all the pharmacies participating in the Blood Pressure Check Scheme. This is one of the best things we can do to save lives, reduce health inequalities, support social care and boost the economy. #ZeroCVD #CVDPrevent
Now in pharmacies across England: Blood pressure checks for over 40s. This service identifies those over 40 who have previously not been diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure) and refers those with suspected hypertension for appropriate management. #askyourpharmacist

Imagine a world where every institution, whether within the spheres of commerce, government, or civil society, had an active policy to reduce dependence on their service, by increasing interdependence in community life. #ABCD
