I know from experience that many of you don't want to hear this. But, as always, we should be prepared to recognise and embrace uncomfortable truths. The latest findings about the health effects of woodburning stoves are simply horrendous.

It's been an utterly abominable 24 hours for Brexit news:
- The UK gave up on negotiations to extend our trade deal with Canada, leaving us worse off than when we were an EU member
https://t.co/EkwL7Ux6TG
- New incoming border checks will add ยฃ200 million a year to the cost of our food and drink.
https://t.co/gxYDOLZdeE
- MPs were warned that the EU's upcoming ETIAS/EES border systems may lead to 14-hour queues to enter (the rest of) Europe from the autumn.

- There were warnings of possible shortages of flowers for Valentines Day because of the new incoming border checks.

- A plan to extend visas for British expats in France from 90 to 180 days was blocked by France's Constitutional Council court (a decision which has no right of appeal).

- Rishi Sunak's pledge to ensure no future laws can create a border down the Irish Sea has gone down like a bucket of sick in TUV quarters. (And has sent the blood pressure of the usual suspect Brexiters sky-high.)

- The EU's plans to increase bulk medicine procurement across the bloc risk creating shortages in Britain because they have very significantly greater buying power than the UK does.

Phew! That's a truly catastrophic batch of headlines for just one day...
@isupportisrael_ @davideclifford You're a clown. A troll account saying nonsense for feedback. I'm not going to engage anymore. A shame @davideclifford tagged you and refused to engage anymore. I hope you see what this account is David.
@isupportisrael_ @davideclifford You don't see many Gazans because they're all being bombed from oblivion and Israel are denying international media in to report the situation. That's if they're not killing them too, or people waving white flags. You are just an insane anonymous account spouting nonsense.
@davideclifford The ones being bombed out of existence. The innocents. The ones who need hospitals which aren't there any more. The ones whose schools and universities no longer exist. The ones who are being taught that the west is happy to take part in this. Those children.
@davideclifford Any evidence of children being trained to rape???? There's plenty of evidence of Palestinian people being wiped off the face of the earth. It's gone way beyond self defence some time ago. Now it's just plain old genocide. Pure and simple.
Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.
It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.
If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.
Did you know about it? No?
A thread ๐งต
As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, itโs timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.
