Good to see at least one refugee being treated decently.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.

I think this is a national scandal.

Please RT if you do too 🙏

What dreadful news.

[Push The Boat Out @PTBOpoetry]

📣About Push the Boat Out 2024. You may have seen an update from Summerhall Management Ltd confirming that it has been presented with a winding up petition by HMRC. The company plans to appeal the decision but its operations will be impacted while this legal action is underway🧵

1. Could we stop saying "natural gas"? It sounds almost wholesome, but it's one of the most potent drivers of climate breakdown. The term is
a. meaningless
b. fails to properly to distinguish it from other sources.
The obvious alternative is "fossil gas" or fossil methane".
