Coverage of major events on @CNN is wild - actual news, interspersed with frequent, lengthy infomercials about the African tractor industry.

@LucyGoBag So easily avoided.

This should be a NEVER event. We think the worst thing will be the original tragedy, but we are still capable of doing additional harms as responders news.sky.com/story/my-son-w…

It is 31 years since Richard went missing, please keep his family in your thoughts 🙏🏻 ANNIVERSARY APPEAL - RICHARD EDWARDS Richard Edwards was a member of the British band Manic Street Preachers.

Richard has a tattoo on his upper left arm of a flower (rose) with the words 'Useless Generation' underneath and a tattoo 'I’ll surf this beach'. He has a scar on his lower left arm where he had scratched the words '4 REAL'. If you have any information on Richard’s whereabouts, phone Metropolitan Police on 101 or use their online reporting service, quoting CONNECT REF 01/764429/24.

STOP ASKING ME TO “TAP THE POST” 😑

@LucyGoBag Police training is obviously key, but empowering mortuary staff to challenge unsafe practices is just as important.

@Johnnygcake How do we stop this slide backwards?

One of the greatest, cruellest myths we tell ourselves is we would always know if our loved ones (particularly our child) was the person in the hospital bed or the mortuary. But we get it wrong all the time. And its no indicator of the strength of our love

@LucyGoBag Basic, day-one rule ignored.

I have lost count of the times I have seen visual id go wrong - even when the person looks untouched and as if sleeping

Congratulations and great to see some of the healthcare science workforce being recognised in this way - keep up the great work!

Congratulations to Robert Cast, Gemma Norburn, Christian Burt, and Samantha Bell from the Association of Anatomical Pathology Technology – winners of 2025’s Elevating the Science Workforce Award! A fantastic and well deserved achievement! #SCCelebrateScience #ElevatingScience

@Robertlewis2000 @SkyNews Nothing, the chemical would have been used to preserve the deceased before repatriation back to the UK.

@SkyNews What was innthe hold ??

Mortuary workers exposed to 'dangerously high' levels of toxin from Air India crash bodies trib.al/cfQ2iAD

@FirstBusUK as useless as always - bus stop display counts down then disappears with no bus appearing. The next bus is cancelled. Pathetic non-service.

1/3 Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15th October. #blaw is marked across the world. This week, the Review team will once again honour the lives of all the babies who have died.

Many congratulations to the College of Paramedics which has been granted the right to call itself the Royal College of Paramedics.

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected. Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

@LucyGoBag “Strategical” 😑

Goooooollllllldddddd

This 👇

@LucyGoBag The Fuller Inquiry recommendations need to be implemented in full, ASAP.

It is imperative that Parliament immediately passes legislation to regulate the funeral profession in England and Wales. The mark of a civilisation is how it treats its dead and we are failing them and their families every single day

At @nottslive we’re producing a series of articles looking at the people who make us proud of Nottingham. @Sajhawkins1 and @jackhawkski have fought for families failed by maternity care at hospitals - yet their fight for accountability continues. nottinghampost.com/news/local-new…

@DOckendenLtd I know, it’s horrifying. Good people just need to keep saying NO, that’s all that can be done.

@Johnnygcake It’s appalling & disgusting: How can anyone stay silent when 9 innocent little children lose their lives John? They didn’t ask for this & didn’t understand this: They lost their tiny little lives. As a mother & someone who has spent nearly 40 years in healthcare - what can I do?

The most appalling atrocity I’ve heard of in recent times. Children & babies should NOT be dying of violence or starvation in 2025, they are. We have to call this out. It must STOP now. Babies do not ask to be born into conflict. Precious lives stolen 💔 theguardian.com/world/2025/may…
