@airindia Looks beautiful.

For centuries, Indian classical dance and folk-art forms have served as medium of storytelling and instruction. Today, they tell another story, that of inflight safety. Presenting Air India’s new Safety Film, inspired by the rich and diverse dance traditions of India. #FlyAI #NewAirIndia #InflightSafetyVideo

@pritipatel A typical Tory tweet without any consideration for our earth. Your children and grandchildren would know about it in 25 -50 yrs. There is no place to hide with global warming. Not even Tory back bench.

For too long the green agenda has been hijacked by people like Sadiq Khan who want to pursue a dangerous left wing and socialist agenda to control our lives, ban things they don’t like and tax us more.

Please note that we have finalised the artists coming from Kolkata for UKBC 2023. They are Rupankar Bagchi and Rezwana Chowdhury Bonnya. We are not having any other conversations, directly or indirectly with any other artists. Published in general interest by the Trustees of UKBC

Come and join us in celebrating Bengalee culture in it entirety on the 9th and 10th. Sept at Harrow, London.

Book your tickets to see Bengali extravaganza, including music, culture, food, art, attire, drama and many more.

@GeriSoc Yes, multiple Govt and even parliamentary commission have failed to address issue of social care and longterm care in last 25 years. RishiSunak doesn't have a plan for that either!!!

"#NHSWorkforcePlan acknowledges that the NHS does not exist in a vacuum - but it does not include the #socialcare workforce. Without addressing the capacity crisis within social care, the impact of this NHS workforce plan will be weakened." bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…

@pritipatel Well, you haven't seen nothing yet!!! More to come for this little island!!! Slipping down the ladder fast of world economic power.

#BrexitDay Happy Independence Day! 🇬🇧 The 23rd of June 2016 will be an historic day in our islands story. The British people voted to be a free and sovereign nation once again. I am proud to have played my part in securing that freedom. Now it’s time we made the most of it.

@GeriSoc Agree completely, and this is way forward in 21st century real research

"It is a myth that older people & those with complex needs are too risky to include in research. They can and should contribute to identifying important research questions, priority setting, designing & participation in studies & disseminating findings." doi.org/10.1093/ageing…

Are you upto it?
