Woke up with Burning House by @LotteryWinners as my earworm. We're having a barbecue later, hope it's not a premonition. Cracking song.

While Sunak and Co respond to the post office TV programme outrage, they continue to stall on the contaminated blood scandal, because it will cost even more and they want to leave the bill for Labour, assuming a change of government. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…

This is the moment Rodney Freeburn - at 85 years old - completed his 500th @parkrun!
A truly inspiring bloke and only the tenth person in the WORLD to reach the milestone at 85 years old or over.
What a legend. 😍

You’d be tired too if you’d just flown 1,000 miles in gale force winds and weighed the same as a 20p coin.
Europe’s smallest bird, the magnificent Goldcrest are arriving for the winter from Scandinavia….and they are exhausted!

How did the Foreign Office manage to spend £4,333.30 on two trips to the hairdresser?
Why has their spending via government procurement cards shot up 45% since last September?
And why won’t they answer these and dozens more related questions?
Read all about it in my letter:
We are becoming a country of 'haves' and 'have nots'. The gap is widening. This is the "unacceptable face of capitalism" and what happens when the richest just want to add to their pile, rather than sharing the profits with everyone who contributes to that wealth creation.
NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia ft.com/content/ef265420-45e8…
Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

Good luck to everyone running, supporting & marshalling the @norfolk_relay over the next 24 hours or so. If you're driving late tonight and come across runners with support cars behind them as they take on the legs of the race through the night then please be patient with them!

Huge thank you to our #slingthemesh member for telling her story of the hell she was put through when she took out a legal claim for her life altering #mesh injuries
NHS ‘accused vaginal mesh victim of lying about pain and used surveillance on her’
Women suing hospitals over harm following mesh operations are being subjected to “devastating” treatment, say law firm Lime Solicitors Robert Rose.

This image of a woman shirtless in a sports bra - hugely significant. This is a woman’s body - not for sex or show - just for the sheer joy of what she can do and the power and skill she has. Wonderful. #Lionesses
