Just opened a packet of paracetamol. Or ‘a new hospital’ as Sajid Javid would call it.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

A government 'communications playbook' has ordered NHS trusts to describe new-build wings and refurbishments as 'new hospitals'.

Please RT if you think everyone should be aware of this latest deceit.

"Britain is now a country led by political and moral pygmies, by weak, cowardly and incompetent featherweights all pumped up by the trappings of high office, but bereft of any sense of decency, dignity or shame"

@BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick OK no worries I will do 🕷️

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

The highlight for me of our walk up at Coombe Hill near Street, Somerset yesterday was finding my first two Wasp Spiders @BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

Also found a Misumena vatia and another Crab Spider along with many camera shy Harvestmen!

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

The first of which had just caught a grasshopper!

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

Managed to identify most things when we got home other than this fly with iridescent blue patches on its wings?

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

Went for gentle walk up at Coombe Hill near Street, Somerset yesterday before the rain. Masses of insects in the grassland areas: numerous species of grasshoppers, crickets, butterflies, bees, dragonflies, flies & bugs @Buzz_dont_tweet @iNatureUK @Reefpaths

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

Just a small selection of what we found.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

A sickening, disgraceful form of reasoning from a government department in a state of total moral disrepair.

[Long Covid Support @long_covid]

RTing this as it's great and still relevant:

"A fantastic graphic by the talented @AliceQuayle, a member of our @Long_Covid support group on FB."

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So health minister Lord Bethell conveniently “broke” his phone, meaning all its private texts and WhatsApps, relating to an eye-watering £85 million of Covid contracts, may never be retrieved.

I think this beggars belief 🤷‍♀️

RT if you do too. https://t.co/OzgicXteC6

[Tim Ireland 💙⚜️🔥🎤 @bloggerheads]

I had to register on an industry site to read this detail, because @BBCNews have NOT published this interview on their site for reasons that are easily guessed at.

#GrantShapps

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

As we learn the Tories have taken £280k from Russia-linked donors in the year since the Russia report called for a crackdown here is Transport Secretary Grant Shapps blatantly misleading #BBCBreakfast viewers (completely unchallenged) on its findings

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

Just rescued this Jersey Tiger Moth from our kitchen her in Somerton @EdingtonInsects @Buzz_dont_tweet @iNatureUK

[Byline TV @BylineTV]

Boris Johnson’s lies are starting catch up with him.

Support a network that tells the truth no matter what.

View looking back at the storm from near Yeovilton

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

Took one of my daughters out earlier to chase the storm over South Somerset & West Dorset and this is what we witnessed; drove cross country to Sherborne then out the other side to stop on the A352 looking North @west_weather @UKWeatherLive @aam1860 @glynn_adams @fergieweather

[Steve Boarder @Boarder7575]

Lots of debris, lifted manholes and water pouring off the fields on the way to Marston Magna
