Shocking that anaesthetic or sedation are not offered routinely for this…I had one 15 years ago and woke up in agony. God knows what it would have been like DURING if I’d been awake…

How can anyone defend this? There’s something deeply wrong in the admission then that the prisons ARE full of dangerous people we do not want on the street. Covid- temp hospitals- built in weeks. We NEED a radical alternative to releasing all thesemonsters https://t.co/d5scyGZv3d

COUNCIL FINDS THOUSANDS OF VULNERABLE PEOPLE AT RISK THEN SUSPENDS THE MEN WHO SAID SO

A follower reached out to me asking for help exposing a cover up involving their own family and put thousands of vulnerable people at risk. What they told me matches a story already breaking in Northumberland.

Northumberland County Council @N_landCouncil runs Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service @NlandFRS.

In 2024 an internal report found 4,347 home safety checks and 511 referrals had never been dealt with.

Many were for elderly and disabled people, referred by agencies including the NHS because they were at real risk.

One case was a woman dying of cancer with an oxygen tank in her home. Firefighters were meant to visit within 48 hours. It took 7 to 8 months.

Two senior officers spoke up about it. Deputy Chief Fire Officer Jim McNeil and Chief Fire Officer Graeme Binning.

Within weeks both were suspended. The council said it was over a workplace culture review, but refused to release it for over a year, only handing it over once Freedom of Information requests made refusing any longer impossible.

McNeil told BBC North East @BBCNEandCumbria his suspension letter never actually named him in any specific complaint, just vague accusations thrown at him all at once. He retired rather than fight a process he didn't trust. He calls it being made the scapegoat to cover up how bad things really were.

Binning left too, and the council has never explained why.

The review used to justify both suspensions is also being questioned. People say there was no way to tell how many different staff actually made complaints, so the same handful of people could have been counted many times over.

The company that carried out the review is a regular council contractor, paid hundreds of thousands of pounds over the years. A separate official fire service inspection carried out before this review is said to paint a very different picture.

In April 2025 fire inspectors formally warned Northumberland after finding only 37 out of 478 high risk properties had been properly checked. A new inspection report is due out next weeks. More staff beyond McNeil and Binning are believed to have left over the same issues. ITV News Tyne Tees @itvtynetees has also covered the suspensions.

The council's response has stayed the same throughout. Won't comment on individual staff matters. Still hasn't explained who let 4,347 safety checks for vulnerable people go undone, or why the two men who found that out are no longer in their jobs.

Thank you to the three young brave and honourable soldiers
for apprehending this evil man.
Lads next time the walk to the Thames is two minutes, down the road, should have just chucked him overboard. It’s what he deserves, the Police didn’t do better letting him out. Terrible service by the police.
despicable creature……….how dare you.

@euanmccolm @AmnestyUK @scotonsunday Thanks for writing this, Euan. When I've been lucky enough to meet some of these women my experience has been the same. Really, deeply impressive. Good people doing remarkable work. Shame on Amnesty for what it's done to itself.

Lovely piece. Amnesty has no idea who and what it is defaming.

[Liberal Voice for Women @LibVoice4Women]

@MandiganA @Hilary_Cass @jamesmurray_ldn The number of discrepancies between the Review and what Cass is now saying to parliamentarians is deeply worrying. It is not based on any new clinical evidence. It's understandable when new evidence emerges people may change their mind, but that's not what is happening here...

[Christian Concern @CConcern]

BREAKING: Jennifer Melle, a Christian nurse who was investigated, suspended, disciplined and referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) after declining to use a convicted paedophile patient’s preferred pronouns has written to government ministers demanding urgent national guidance for the NHS.

In February, Jennifer, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, met with Bridget Phillipson and health minister, Karin Smyth, in parliament.

Jennifer was told that no nurse should be punished for using incorrect pronouns in the NHS. However, guidance from Jennifer's own Trust and the NMC say that doing so is a disciplinary issue.

This has to be resolved.

See more Jennifer's letter to the government calling for urgent action and see below a letter from @ClaireCoutinho to the Trust👇

On a videophone call through a sign language interpreter, I was told they had a senior deaf black cat who used sign language at the shelter. Because of age and deafness, they will euthanize her unless someone adopted her. I had already been pre-approved to adopt.

I arrived and...

it wasn't a cat.

It was a dog!

I signed to her, and she signed back, but she was clearly frightened and overwhelmed. My heart knew I could not leave her there.

At home with her I quickly realized...she wasn't deaf either!

I did some digging; the previous owner was a deaf woman in Houston. She had passed away.

That "deaf black cat" turned out to be a hearing black dog who knows signs.

And that's how Luna Lovegood became part of our family.

Amnesty is now in trouble if it destroys any relevant documents.

Her name is Chhaya Sharma.

In December 2012, a young woman was gang raped on a moving bus in Delhi and left to die. The whole country knew her story. Almost nobody knows the name of the woman who hunted down the men who did it.

She was a police officer, then Deputy Commissioner of Police in south Delhi.

When the case landed, the pressure was unlike anything the force had seen. Crowds filled the streets. Cameras waited outside her office. Every hour without an arrest was another headline calling the police useless.

She did not let any of it touch her team. She stood between them and the noise, and told them to do the work properly.

For six days her team chased the accused across five states. She kept her people focused on one thing, evidence.

Every detail documented, every forensic sample handled correctly, nothing rushed, nothing sloppy, because a case this big could collapse on a single mistake.

All of the accused were caught within days.

Then came the part that mattered even more. Her team filed the chargesheet in just eighteen days. It was built so carefully that it survived every level of the courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court, and ended in conviction with the maximum punishment.

The rest of her career has been quieter and just as hard. She has spent years going after human traffickers, and has led operations that pulled children out of the hands of people who were selling them.

In 2019, an international award for courage was given to her in America, an honour once given to Malala Yousafzai.

The nation cried for the victim, and rightly so. But justice did not arrive on its own. A woman in uniform went out and dragged it back, and then went quietly on to the next case.

[Julia Long @OnChairs]

'Mistake'. A mistake is when you say Sunday when you meant Saturday, or get someone's name wrong. Talking about Ann Widdecombe in the hideous, sexist way you did is not a 'mistake' - it reveals far more than you would wish about your mentality and values.

Probably worth bearing in mind that other religions are available, whose views on homosexuality remain far more worrisome than anything she believed.

She had many gay friends, who didn’t necessarily agree with her on everything, but were intelligent enough to understand that mild disapproval, due to her religious convictions, was NOT a barrier to years of friendship, laughter & mutual admiration.

Why Did Jess Phillips Fight To Prevent the Grooming Gang Inquiry?

A letter arrived at the National Inquiry two weeks ago carrying three signatures. One of the names on it is Jess Phillips. Once you understand who she is and what she has asked for, you will understand why she cannot be trusted.

It is nine minutes past nine and we have arrived late. Perhaps, too late...

I’m Raja Miah MBE. For nearly eight years, I have led a campaign that exposed how senior Labour politicians helped protect Pakistani rape gangs. The people of my town helped force the national inquiry.

You won’t see me on the BBC. You won’t read my work in the legacy press. That’s not an accident. I take this to a place from where there is no coming back.

I document everything in my newsletter. It’s 100% free to read. If this work matters to you, if you believe it must continue, I need your backing.

My work is free. No paywalls. No gatekeeping. No exclusions. Because the truth shouldn’t belong only to those who can afford it. If you can afford to do so, supporting me costs as little as 75p a week (£30 a year).

We’re up against a machine, politicians, police, officials, and media, working together to shrink, sanitise, and bury the truth. This work survives because of you.

If you’ve ever shared my posts, learned something, or felt less alone reading them, stand with me. I need your help.
