Ding ding! Yes I'm late for #WorldMentalHealthDay but whatevs - here's 15% off spots on my next MHFA course for aid workers anyway. Would you know how to help an upset colleague? Would your staff? Come learn: we start Nov 4th. More here, DM me for discount mhfaengland.org/book-a-course/…

@xandvt Yes and it's a gamechanger. Came with our flat - I would never have bought one but we LOVE it. Welcome to pop over and take a look if you want to see one in action and have a play :)

Does anyone have an oven that has a built-in microwave? Are they any good? It seems like a helpful way to save space - but I am suspicious of it as a bad compromise.

There’s no place for Islamophobia and racism in our society. Today I've written to the Equalities Minister calling for urgent action to act on the riots and to introduce the much delayed advisor on Islamophobia.

@jqg exactly! I wrote a whole piece on this once... theguardian.com/global-develop…

Airdrops cost up to 7 times as much as land deliveries (...) They also have much + limited delivery capacity. Experts also questioned whether countries  have plans in place for the aid once it reaches the ground (...) Airdrops usually culminate in chaos. edition.cnn.com/2024/03/09/mid…

@adam_macqueen hahah that was exactly my response too! Worse than taking away the milk.

I clapped for nurses during the pandemic, so logically I'll also stand with them on the picket line today. No one wanted to be there, everyone had personal or professional horror stories that had driven them to stand in the cold today #nurses #fairpay #NHSStrikes

@adam_macqueen oooh, I had forgotten that one...

Ding ding! It's Mental Health First Aid training time again! Would you know how to help a struggling colleague? Spot the early signs in a friend? Would your staff? No? Let me teach you: My next MHFA course for aid workers starts Nov 4th. More here mhfaengland.org/book-a-course/…

@adam_macqueen bonus points if you do it in a skimpy top AND while hugging a mate (pref also in a skimpy top). Especially if you are not a girl.

@BluntSpeaking signed!

Haringey Council has again rented out a third of Finsbury Park to the Wireless festival. It will be surrounded by 3 metre high walls for a whole month at the height of summer. If you care about public open space, read this, and consider signing it. change.org/p/hands-off-ou…

Stop the privatisation of Channel 4 @NadineDorries - Sign the Petition! chng.it/hMfnMgMr via @UKChange

@nickheathsport @SuzD_in_VB @lapatina_ please don't - at least not on these grounds. @ICRC meets with all parties to conflict to gain access to POWs and advocate for adherence to Geneva Conventions. That's how they get to run humanitarian corridors etc. It's literally their mandate and no-one else does what they do.

@SuzD_in_VB @lapatina_ Hmm ok. I can pivot to the DEC.

The president of the Red Cross meeting Lavrov in Moscow today. To say that this doesn’t look good is an understatement

TWO SPOTS LEFT - we start a week on Friday (March 18th) DM me for more info

@curious_cat20 @darrylmorris @sjwrenlewis not sure that's entirely true. Here's the list of the full languages they broadcast in. bbc.co.uk/ws/languages

The BBC are setting up shortwave radio frequencies for the people of Ukraine to keep informed with the news as their TV towers are bombed and internet services attacked. You don’t get that with a Netflix subscription.

Mental health: would you know how to help a struggling colleague? Spot the early signs in a friend? Would your staff? No? Let me teach you - I have five spots on my next Mental Health First Aid course for aid workers, starting March 18th. More here mhfaengland.org/book-a-course/…
