In the UK, nearly a million people are living with heart failure, costing the NHS up to £1 billion each year.

An NIHR research programme developed and trialed a new self-managed home-based intervention for patients with heart failure. The intervention was proven to be safe, clinically effective, and cost-effective, and improves patients' quality of life.

This research will generate an estimated economic benefit of £1.6 billion over 10 years.

NIHR-funded research is showing how a Clean Air Zone in #Bradford is reducing pollution-related ill-health and easing the strain on #NHS resources.

The results, published last month in Environmental Research, report around 700 fewer GP visits for breathing and heart problems each month after only 1 year of the Clean Air Zone. This is estimated to save local NHS services around £30,000 per month.

Imagine performing these cowardly mental gymnastics in order to bring about a world where money is taken from disabled people and handed to US weapons oligarchs as imperial tithe.

UK domestic energy prices to rise 6.4% in April to £1,849 a year on average.

Fuel poverty will increase. People will cut spending elsewhere, derail economic recovery.

UK energy industry made £483bn profit since 2020.

So is this AI thing basically that myth you heard about the US trying to invent an ink pen that works in space, and the Russians just using a pencil, except this time it’s real and somehow massively funnier than that would’ve been

#OtD 15 Jan 1934 the UK tabloid the Daily Mail published an article 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts!' supporting Oswald Mosley's fascist movement. Written by Viscount Rothemere, whose family still own the Mail, its politics haven't really changed much. https://t.co/PE8egrXUlZ

Hey I’m the mayor of Town That Always Catches On Fire and I decided to defund the fire department because cops REALLY need that money for a tank to use on homeless people. It would suck if a fire broke out, but luckily that never happens here in Town That Always Catches On Fire.

Maybe around 2013 when I worked in local government, the BBC reported on a survey that found most people hadn’t noticed any effect of austerity.

A colleague said, “people are going to get up one day, look around and say this place is a shit hole, what happened?”
