The BBC’s latest audience figures show it’s reaching more than half a billion people worldwide — 502 million — for the first time in its history. That’s more than 6% of the entire world’s population. It’s a huge achievement for Britain’s global influence.

Bravo, Belgium!

Shocking UK government inaction on known fire risks.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

Today marks 17 years since six people lost their lives at the Lakanal House fire.

June 2027 will mark 10 years since 72 people lost their lives at the Grenfell Tower fire.

Government data estimates more than 5,000 residential buildings over 11 metres still have unsafe cladding.

“for two working-class lads it was the place where we first learned to navigate the world - its music, its people, its disappointments and its ridiculous joys.”

As with the other case of failings in care in Nottingham, the #NottinghamInquiry

It was the families who fought for the truth

This shouldn’t be necessary in a humane health service

It is also scandalous that clinicians can’t be compelled to give evidence

@NursingTimes We’ve got to stop building hospitals and other buildings that roast people when the summer temperatures rise.

A shake up of the UK electoral system is long overdue.

[megan kenyon @meganekenyon]

New: 20 per cent of the Parliamentary Labour Party (81 MPs) have signed an amendment to the Representation of the People Bill calling for a national commission on electoral reform. Latest signers include Polly Billington, Justin Madders and Zubir Ahmed.

140 MPs cross-party have now signed chair of the APPG for Fair Elections, Alex Sobel's amendment.

(Should be noted that 81 MPs is the nomination threshold needed for Labour MPs to get on the leadership ballot!)

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Ten years on from Jo Cox's horrifying murder, her message of unity is more important than ever. Jo was a dedicated public servant who brought people together and tirelessly fought for her beliefs.

Today, we honour her memory by standing up for those values and against division.

@RoyLilley reminds everyone that managers need to spend time in the reality of their workplace not just rely on the reports. Not out there as a pre-planned formal visit but a few hours every month in the reality of the place - car parks, canteens, waiting rooms, staff rooms …

“a passionate campaign to save it led by @thevicsoc, Jane Hughes Fawcett & Poet Laureate John Betjeman, was successful, & St Pancras was awarded GI listed status just 10 days before demolition was due to commence.”

God loves a dryer

[Badger @Bertrom]

David Hockney’s mum visited him in Southern California after he’d moved there in the 1960s, and as they drove back from the airport she looked up into clear blue sky and said,
“I don't understand it. Such lovely drying weather and no one's got their washing out."

Bless.
