@MarkCrosslandMD @etihad @EtihadHelp We’ve got the exact same situation - have you found a solution?

[Marika Johanna @MarikaHighTree]

@EtihadHelp for a company who claim to be so high end your customer service is absolutely shocking. No respect for people’s time, money or energy and no basic system to actually help people out unless it benefits you.

Well this is a lovely. Fracking to go ahead despite non-publication of safety report, despite leaked copy suggesting safety *can’t* be guaranteed, despite huge climate impacts, despite fact it won’t cut bills - oh & despite breaking election pledge, obvs https://t.co/j9T0zdtQ13

@sophwolf I hoover my toaster, my windowsill, my ceiling, sofa, worktops and hob. It's a thing x

[Wendy Wason @Wendy_Wason]

This should cheer you up @Faybe1989. My friend went to Wales and checked into her Air BnB and look who was waiting for her….

[Marika Johanna @MarikaHighTree]

Amazing and important reporting, absolutely worth 15 minutes of your time.

[Molly Blackall @mollyblackall]

After 3 weeks reporting on the Ocean Viking search and rescue ship, I've hung up my lifejacket.

I'm taking a bit of time off now, but here's a recap of my reports. They aren't easy reading, but I urge you to take a look - not enough is known about what's happening in the Med.🧵

[Molly Blackall @mollyblackall]

Charlie, one of the search and rescue crew, explained the process of returning to land - and the impact the wait can have👇

[Molly Blackall @mollyblackall]

On one occasion, the boat was sinking rapidly when the crew arrived, and fuel was leaking on to the deck. It was critical.

I hope this report helps give a sense of what these rescues are like - and just how dangerous these crossings are. https://t.co/9Oen7u5XMh

Word of the day is ‘susurrus’ (19th century): the low, soft whispering of the trees in a summer breeze.

[We Are Doc Women @WeAreDocWomen]

1/4 Two years ago WADW wrote an open letter to BAFTA highlighting the inequality of their awards. The TV industry said they’d listened. This year the situation is worse. Women directors are woefully under-represented in the leading factual categories.

[Alan Smith @AlanJLSmith]

Just had a good friend message me to give me fairly blunt feedback on some work I’ve done.

As I’ve said before:

“Real friends talk shit to your face and say nice things behind your back” 🤝

[Marika Johanna @MarikaHighTree]

@hannahfearn Kiln is absolutely unreal Thai food and great service, Kricket is incredibly delicious and does great cocktails, the Soho one is the nicest IMO. If you want to feel really cool go to Maison Bab in Covent Garden, or I've heard great things about Yautacha but not been x

[Gender Pay Gap Bot @PayGapApp]

In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 40% lower than men's.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Boris Johnson just said workers should learn from Germany, where they "don't go to work when they're sick".

The proportion of workers' salary covered by sick pay is 100% in Germany. It's just 19% here.

Took a time lapse of Earth from the ISS window.
This is exactly an entire orbit around Earth. Breathtaking.
