Islington Council is still consulting on the future of the Sobell Ice Rink
Emailing residents with the kind of message below makes it seem a forgone conclusion
It does not make it seem like the council is open to ideas to save the rink. Very disappointing
And the number of people waiting for treatment in England is stubbornly flat at 7.2 million. So yes, it's not going up any more (good) but it's not coming down either (bad) and is still 1 in 8 of entire population! (v bad). 4/5
Only 2% to go on our all-or-nothing #Crowdfunder!
Our project will only be funded if we make the £500,000 in time. We've now only £10k left to raise!
Now is the time to remind your friends to pledge their support through donating or sharing: https://t.co/FCgF5TV3iP

@chrischirp and I wrote about the challenges facing the NHS (based on the latest data) for @bmj_latest.
It doesn't paint a pretty picture.

I've donated to @ELWaterworks as it's a vision of a future I want to be part of - led by community and a place to reconnect with #Nature for free.
Take a look at the dream and help make it a reality 🙏#ELWaterworks https://t.co/ZkXHyrEVxs

Wow! From back when the United States led Europe in train development: The 1948 tail-end observation car of a 'Twin Cities Hiawatha' between Chicago and Minneapolis-St Paul.
Our Sun is not a smooth, solid orb. It’s active with changing features. This video shows a close-up of our closest star. What do you think we’re looking at here? #TriviaTuesday
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.🧵
