The Government promised 5,000 extra beds.

But the NHS actually has 3,000 FEWER beds going into winter.

Please RT if you think everyone should be aware.

"Renault and Aston Martin backer Geely to launch UK firm injecting £6bn and creating 19,000 jobs"

Gosh, doesn't that sound great? Tory MPs and the RW press have been feasting on the story.

Pity it's not true.

Let's take this step by step...

@deirdresm Oh bugger, sorry to hear this. Hope you both feel better soon 💐

[John Paul @ExtremeWork]

Certainly one way of looking at the issue. Not customer centric, not in the real world and not reflecting my observations. When @SW_Help charge me circa £100/day to travel I'm afraid I do expect a clean train, on time and to be informed of changes to formation and schedule.

[John Paul @ExtremeWork]

No announcements, harassing passengers with multiple ticket checks and dirty trains… Maybe time for @SW_Help to rethink priorities @GroupSwr @swtrains_watch @allpartyrail

Seven years ago #OTD, our Very Long Baseline Array telescope caught a glimpse of the signal from @NASAVoyager 1's transmitter (from a distance of more than 11 billion miles away!).

The slightly oblong shape is a result of the #VLBA antenna configuration.

Poor #doggo has gone green, its head is floating in space, has a strangely coloured tongue and...is blowing bubbles? What does this all mean?? 🤨

In the case of Y2K specifically, there's a similar issue set to hit in ~18 years! You can look up "Y2038" for details! But you know what? People are ALREADY ON IT, and there's already basically zero chance of it being a global catastrophe BECAUSE OF WHAT WE LEARNED FROM Y2K.

Not my usual post, but this is what it is like in Australia now. Dry and on fire. This is a sunset @AustralianBG through all of the smoke from the Blue Mountains. So far this garden has been safe from fires.

[Jimmy Turner @TexanInOz]

Our @BlueMountainsBG was impacted by bushfires this week. All buildings & staff are safe thanks to hard work by RFS & @GregBourke3
Most of the 186ha conservation area burned as well as the Gondwana Garden, parts of the Conifer Collection & N American Woodland.

Share this and others like it as widely as possible. If it’s in your mind before an incident you will remember it when the adrenaline kicks in. “Don't be a Bystander: 6 Tips for Responding to Racist Attacks” on #Vimeo https://t.co/K17jAUmDsr

A desire to privatise the NHS is not something that has been dreamed up by left-wing doctors and nurses.

The risk is very real - please RT if you think everyone should be aware.
