Another update on maternity safety. Our latest report ran across BBC News all day - starting with this online article... 1/n bbc.co.uk/news/health-67…

bbc.co.uk/news/health-67… Our analysis of CQC ratings published in November reveals that the proportion of English maternity units deemed not safe enough has increased to two-thirds (67%), up from 55% when @cathburns and I looked at the situation last autumn.

Our latest story looks at a decade of Prevention of Future Death reports issued after an autistic person died. We found warnings about the same issues in their care again and again - with ⁦@Cleggins82⁩ ⁦@hey_benjamin⁩ bbc.com/news/uk-667312…

@HarrietAgerholm @martinstabe Hey @martinstabe, thank you for the note! :)

@martinstabe @hey_benjamin V kind, thanks Martin

Many families and pet owners feel frustrated in their search for a rental home. We found nearly 1/4 of adverts on OpenRent suggested families weren't welcome, and that almost 3/4 on the same site excluded pets. New story with @HarrietAgerholm 👇 bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

Our latest: Thousands of foreign firms, some linked to Russian oligarchs, are breaking UK a new transparency law bbc.co.uk/news/uk-656112… , with @nassos_ @willdahlgreen @hey_benjamin @janatausch

@caroshawmusic Since I heard Plan & Elevation: V. last August (via Girl Picture), I've listened to Orange countless times. Along now with a few of your other albums. Orange has its abstract moments, then it pulls me back into a narrative I feel in my chest.

Owners of around 50,000 UK properties held by foreign companies remain hidden, despite new laws. Many weeks of investigative journalism have gone into this story, props to @nassos_ @willdahlgreen @hey_benjamin @janatausch and @LianaBBravo bbc.co.uk/news/uk-645369…

@paulbradshaw @BCUJournalism That's kind of you, many thanks Paul

Great #ddj work by one of my former @BCUJournalism PGCert Data Journalism students @hey_benjamin bbc.co.uk/news/health-62…

We’ve analysed CQC data and found that 55% of maternity units don’t consistently meet safety standards. ⁦@MidwivesRCM⁩ says this maternity crisis is fixable but needs to be at the top of the political agenda. Govt says it is investing in staffing. bbc.co.uk/news/health-62…

@AskTheGiver "Find a woman who loves to cook for you"? Seriously?

2. Fasted workouts burn 20% more calories 3. 30 minutes is all the time you need to get in shape 4. Sun exposure can boost testosterone levels by as much as 69% 5. Don’t post gym pics for attention 6. Find a woman who loves to cook for you

Every piece of fitness advice I could come up with after 6 years in the gym: 1. Stop drinking alcohol.

Nine in 10 NHS dentists aren't accepting new adult patients; eight in 10 can't take new children. Strong piece of public service journalism by @HarrietAgerholm @ruthgreen23 and Libby Rogers bbc.co.uk/news/health-62…
