Every year, more than 727,000 lives are lost to suicide.
Behind each number is a story cut short.
Stay; tomorrow needs you.

This week I visited the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre; a place that desperately needs investment before it really is too late.

All this talk of statues and one of my favourites is one that is missing....Peter Norman....an Aussie, he stood with Tommie Smith and John Carlos but when this statue was commissioned, he chose to leave his 2nd place vacant so anyone can stand with these two men forever.

@cricketwyvern any hospitalisations data for Hull? They're asking for more powers to close schools due to high case numbers. Thanks.

The pandemic has exposed:
-Our collective addiction to feeling right
-Our propensity to fool ourselves into thinking we know a lot about everything, when we really know little
-Our tendency to distrust the inherently skeptical scientists & trust the self-assured armchair experts

The number for Friday will increase from 105 over the next few days.
So the figure announced today will also include some Friday data.
NHS England is the best resource on this-
