Every 2 minutes someone dies by drowning - that's 300,000 avoidable deaths per year. Here's what to do it you get into trouble in the water - FLOAT TO LIVE. 1. Tilt your head back with your ears submerged 2. Relax and try to breathe normally 3. Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat 4. It’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently 5. Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety. Watch this video and get your kids to watch it too. rnli.org/video-player/9… #WorldDrowningPreventionDay

Junk food companies are doubling down on sport sponsorship to avoid the upcoming (and much delayed due to lobbying) ban on HFSS advertising before 9pm on TV. Our kids’ heroes are advertising Hula Hoops, Redbull and Kit Kats while obesity prevalence in UK children is one of the highest in the world. Super investigation by the @BMJLatest which highlights that this isn’t just obviously harmful - we have lots of evidence that this sort of sponsorship gives junk food firms a ‘health halo effect’ by making their products seem more acceptable and less harmful to consumers. bmj.com/content/390/bm… I know many athletes and teams really do their best to avoid this but we need mandatory regulation just as we have for cigarettes. Sport will survive and thrive without making the players push junk food onto the next generation. Do join the campaigns to kick big soda out of sport if you agree kickbigsodaout.org

30 retailers including Selfridges, New Look and The Range are publishing misleading (worse) return rights information on their websites than you legally have. Find which stores to be careful of, and what your rights are. For the full list of stores go to moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/07/r… Clip courtesy of @GMB

Eh? Really this is what you criticise me for - trying to get retailers to live up to their legal rights. It is literally my job. Are you going to criticise someone who works in a garage for "Fixing bloody cars, the UK has more pressing problems than that car not working" Never mind the fact you could literally say that about almost everything in life. It doesn't stop small things mattering though, and actually fixing small things that piss people off are one of the few things we can change

Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here! RETWEET if you love @BarackObama!

We're absolutely buzzing that The Great British Sewing Bee is back! Starts Tuesday 15th July. 9pm. BBC One. #SewingBee

Four industries – tobacco, ultra-processed foods, fossil fuels and alcohol – cause 34% of all deaths. It’s never been more important to talk about how these, and other industries, shape health and health policy, so I’m proud to have guest edited the latest issue of @FutureHealthJ the journal of @RCPhysicians which features a series of extraordinary pieces by world leading academics, charities and some exceptional young people. If you’re interested in commercial determinants of health and conflicts of interest this is an incredible resource. sciencedirect.com/journal/future… #CDoH #COI #NCDMB

At Glastonbury yesterday, a band called for “inshallah, from the river to the sea.” The crowd cheered. When I hear that phrase chanted with joy, I feel fear and - whoever you are - so should you. Most people don’t understand what it means. But it’s been used for decades by those who want to erase Jews from where their language, faith & indigenous culture began. A place that was meant to offer refuge when the rest of the world shut its door. I’ve spoken out against injustice & unbearable loss. I’ve made work about the ‘Nakba’ & the ongoing trauma of Palestinians. But “from the river to the sea” doesn’t call for peace. It calls for a world without Jews. You can stand for Palestinian rights without denying Jewish ones. You can oppose a government without wishing away a people. If your activism leaves no room for someone else’s safety, grief or history it’s not activism. It’s hate.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks. Stop this blatant violation of the Constitution’s system of checks and balances before it’s too late.

The Guardian piece yesterday on UPF industry lobbying revealed the tip of a very dirty iceberg. Hats off to the @soilassociation for the investigation - please sign their petition demanding the government respond 👇 act.soilassociation.org/the-whole-trut…

We really are getting so much wrong aren’t we? 😔

No doubt.

“I’m flabbergasted. You linked Winter Fuel Payments eligibility to Pension Credit which we know is a flawed system. You’re sitting here saying we know there’s a flawed means test in Pension Credit so why the hell did you link Winter Fuel Payments to a flawed means test?” Courtesy of @GMB interview with senior Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden.

Brilliant news. I'm quite emotional. Govt has agreed to investigate Council Tax rapid debt collection escalation that is catastrophic for millions. Miss one MONTH'S payment and within six weeks you can have baliffs forcing you to pay for the YEAR plus £100s admin charges. Thanks so much to @mmhpi and @gmb
